Tonde Buurin: Episode List

1- "Chou shōjo Buurin tanjou" ("Buurin appears")
(超少女ぶーりん誕生)

Airdate: 03 September, 1994

A glowing object is seen in the night's sky. After wildly darting around for a while, the object crashes to the ground in the city.

Kokubu Karin wakes up and sighs with relief,"A dream?" With a big yawn she plops her head back down on her pillow and goes to sleep.

The next morning Karin's mother, Kokubu Rikako can be heard yelling for her to get going on her way to school. Karin runs out of the house and down the city streets eating an apple. After commenting on how delicious her breakfast is, she hears a squeal from somewhere behind some bushes. She stops to look around for where the noise came from and finds a little, yellow piglet lying unconscious. Karin picks up the piglet and shakes it to see if it's all right. Karin wants to help the piglet, but doesn't have time because if she does she will be late for school. She tries to find someone else to help it, but everyone else is too busy also. She tries to stop a car with hopes that the driver can take the piglet to a hospital, but she gets knocked down by an oncoming vehicle. The piglet comes to, heads straight for Karin's apple and devours it. "Hey, that's my meal!" The piglet keeps making cute little noises and motions for more food, while Karin complains she can't stay and deal with the piglet. Because of him she is late for school. The piglet watches her leave for school with a suspicious look on its face.

While the school bell is ringing Karin is running into the school building, she walks into class after the teacher has already started. The teacher gets mad that Karin is late and while she is bowing to apologize her bag hits the floor with a squeal and starts moving. The teacher demands that he sees what is in the bag, but Karin replies that he shouldn't be looking in little girl's bags. Then Kuroha Keiko, the class president and Karin's rival, stands up and takes the bag from Karin (Keiko's background theme is very funny). When Keiko opens the bag two big eyes peek out and the yellow piglet jumps on her, messing up her hair. The piglet dashes around the classroom scaring everybody when Mizuno Kouichi, the soccer hero, jumps up and perfectly catches the piglet. At this Karin get starry-eyed and replies that Kouichi-kun is so cool (you can tell she has a crush on him). The piglet gives Koichi a big lick on his face and jumps away, heading for the hallways of the school. "Hey wait!" Karin and the whole rest of her class chase the piglet down the hallways into a dead end. "lucky! this way is a dead end." Right when she is sure she has trapped the piglet, she turns the corner to find that he has somehow escaped. Karin's teacher comments that he would like to see her later.

After school Karin is walking down the hallway when she sees Hidaka Kaoru, the class cutie, laughing while handing Kouichi a present. Karin tries to hide behind a corner, but Kouichi finds her. "Huh? What are you doing over here?" Karin tries to find an excuse. All of the people around her start whispering about Karin's piglet. Kouichi comforts her by saying it's ok. Again Karin gets stars in her eyes and replies that Kouichi-kun is so kind. Koichi then goes on to say that the piglet was quite funny however. Karin tries to laugh it off. The scene is interrupted by three little piglets each with one character of the word "kobuta" on their bellies. They then switch two of the characters to spell "Kokubu" and start singing that as well (very funny). The little, yellow piglet again peeks around the corner and watches Karin and Kouichi.

Outside the school Kouichi is playing soccer. Just as he kicks an amazing goal, Karin and her friend Yamakawa Masami are looking on. "Mizuno-kun is really great for a first-year student isn't he?" Hidaka Kaoru is also watching Kouichi play soccer. Kouichi's teammate notices her and comments to Kouichi that Kaoru is watching him. Kouichi says,"She's probably a soccer fan." "She's not a soccer fan, she's more like your fan isn't she?" Replies Kouichi's teammate. Karin and Masami are having a discussion when the three little piglets come on the screen again, interrupting them. This time they are chased off the TV by Karin yelling at them. Kouichi kicks a soccer ball which is headed straight for Kaoru. Before it hits her, Karin gets in the way and the ball nails her right in her face. Kouichi asks if she is all right and notices that she has a bloody nose. Karin says that it's nothing and runs off. Again the little piglet can be found mysteriously looking at Karin from between her classmate's legs.

Karin is walking home wishing that today's episode with Kouichi would have never happened, when the piglet appears from behind her legs. At first Karin is startled by the piglet, but when the pig takes off running Karin doesn't hesitate to start chasing it down the city streets. Just when Karin thought she had lost the piglet she sees it sitting on a nearby swing set. She runs at it, but it disappears leaving behind a pink, pig's head-shaped compact with the character "Bu" on the front of it. Karin looks at the compact suspiciously and says,"What's this?" She pokes the compact in wonder.

Karin is looking closely at the compact, wondering what it is. The compact opens up automaticly and inside there's a mirror with "Ba Bi Bu Be Buurin" written along the rim. Karin looks in the mirror and her face starts stretching and distorting. A pig nose appears on Karin's face in the mirror and then comes out of the compact. The pig nose floats in the air for a while and then heads for Karin's face. She ducks to avoid it, but the nose persists to chasing her down the street. The piglet sticks out his foot and trips Karin. The nose catches her and applies itself to her face. Karin pulls on it, but it will not come off at all. Karin begins to cry (you would too), and is interrupted by the piglet who starts to talk. Karin is surprised that the piglet can talk. The piglet goes on to introduce itself as Tonrariaano The Third. Karin bursts out laughing at the piglet's name, and at this Tonrariaano gets upset. Tonrariaano and Karin then warp to an area known as Buurin-go when the piglet says,"Buurin-go Warp!" (this area is somewhere out in the stars and has some kind of an apple with a pig nose and a ring around it.) A star comes out of the apple and comes down upon Karin, leaving her wearing a very cute pink suit. Tonrariaano then tells Karin to repeat the phrase "Ba Bi Bu Be Buurin." Karin says the words and undergoes a very Sailor Moon-like transformation to turn into the pink pig girl Buurin (this sequence is very funny). The show skips to a scene of Buurin using the Run Run Step which is a device used to lower the weight of Buurin to allow her to travel through space. When Tonrariaano sees Buurin his eyes turn into hearts as he remarks that she is beautiful. Karin asks what is going on and Tonrariaano explains that she has turned in the super heroin Buurin. Buurin looks in the mirror of the compact and is shocked at what she has become. Buurin thinks it is a dream and pulls on Tonrariaano's cheek to see if he is real. After realizing that it is not a dream, Buurin falls to the floor pouting. An alarm sounds and a child caught in a burning house can be seen in the compact's mirror. Tonrariaano tries to get Buurin to help the boy, but he must carry Buurin through the air because she is too busy crying.

Once the two of them arrive at the scene of the fire, Buurin sees the child crying out for his mom. Buurin immediately responds to go and help the kid. After comments from a few spectators,"What is that? Is it a bird? Is it a plane?" (sounds familiar) Buurin cannot help herself but to create a small self-introduction which goes,"The pig girl of love and courage, Buurin, is here!" Buurin stops and says to herself,"what am I saying?" With this she takes off and brings the kid down to his mom. A nearby photographer takes pictures of Buurin's daring rescue. Buurin then leaps to a nearby fountain and sucks a bunch of water up her nose. She then flies to the burning building and with the words,"Buurin Screw Water" she puts out the fire with a spinning windmill of water. The photographer takes some more pictures. Buurin gets a lot of praise from the crowd and tells them that if they ever need help to call for Buurin. She then flies off and crashes through a tree.

In the air Buurin meets up with Tonrariaano. Karin makes a mistake and calls the piglet Tondariino. Tonrariaano gets upset and corrects her, when the two of them see Kouichi walking down the street below. Buurin covers her eyes and hides along the side of a building.

Buurin and Tonrariaano head for Karin's house and the photographer who earlier took pictures of Buurin is calling around telling everyone about the big scoop he has.

Inside Karin's room Tonrariaano comments "so this is an earth-girls bedroom." Karin get upset and makes a mistake with the piglet's name by calling him Tonrarirurero. Buurin begs Tonrariaano to turn her back into Karin, and he tells her that all she has to do is pull off the pig nose. Buurin gets scared by this, but goes ahead and pulls off the nose, she turns back into Karin. The nose goes back into the compact and the cover closes. Karin sighs with relief and looks in the mirror of her closet to make sure she is back to normal. Once more Karin messes up the piglet's name and calls him Tonrarinchou. Torariaano corrects her and Karin decides to just call him Ton-chan because his name is too difficult. Ton-chan says that he guesses that is ok.

Ton-chan and Karin start discussing what happened earlier with Buurin when the compact comes alive and starts talking. The compact gives Karin a seashell which is called the Yarigai. Karin shakes the Yarigai and a pink pearl comes out of it. The compact informs Karin that every time she turns into Buurin and helps someone she will receive a pearl from the Yarigai, after she has 108 pearls she will be able to transform into any form she wants to. Karin sees a vision of the Super Heroin Cutie Chao whom she would really like to turn into, as she hates the form of Buurin.

The compact becomes still and falls onto the bed, Karin pokes it and is surprised that that was Ton-chan's father speaking. Ton-chan then gives Karin another item called the Pearl Buuretto. The Pearl Buuretto opens up and the pearl is absorbed into it, the counter on the Pearl Buuretto goes up to 1. Karin again gets upset at Ton-chan and starts shaking him. Karin's younger brother, Kokubu Shuuhei comes in and tells Karin to come downstairs because their father, Kokubu Shinichirou, has a big scoop. Ton-chan has now turned into a piggy-bank so no one will find out about him. Shuuhei then informs her that their father has some pictures of a great pig.

Karin runs downstairs to see her dad who shows her some pictures of Buurin. He and the whole family are very happy at how great of an event Buurin is. Karin's father is determined to find out Buurin's identity, as you can guess Karin is not too happy about this.

2- "Ai to seishuun no Shoot" ("The match")
(愛と青春のシュート)

Airdate: 10 September, 1994

Karin walks into class to find all of her friends gathered around a newspaper with pictures of Buurin saving a child. Kouichi remarks that he is a big Buurin fan. Karin is happy about this and when Kouichi asks Karin what she's happy about she shows him her Buurin telephone card to change the subject. Again the three piglets interrupt with singing "Bu Bu Tereka Bu!"

Karin sighs and says that she has to be more careful because someone might find out that she is Buurin.

Karin is sitting along side a road commenting on how uncool Buurin is when she sees Kouichi walking by himself. She runs to Kouichi to give him the Kouichi-kun doll she had made but is knocked down by a bunch of guys riding bicycles. The group of guys start circling around Kouichi with their bikes and ask Kouichi if he is Mizuno Kouichi the soccer player. When he replies that he is Kouichi the group starts chasing him down the street.

Karin contemplates turning into Buurin in order to save Kouichi-kun. She doesn't want Kouichi to see her as Buurin because she hates this form. The group of boys knock Kouichi down on the ground and Karin decides that she has to save him.

"Ba Bi Bu Be Buurin!" Karin turns into Buurin and flies to save Kouichi from the thugs. "I am the pig girl of love and Justice, Buurin!" Buurin introduces herself to the group of thugs and attacks yelling "Buurin Kick!" and "Buurin Punch!" The thugs leave dragging their unconscious leader.

Buurin tries to wake up Kouichi. When Kouichi come to he is very happy that Buurin has saved him but wants to know how Buurin knew his name. Buurin tries to laugh it off and replies that she knows everything. With this she gives Kouichi-kun a slap on the back and he goes flying into a nearby bush. Buurin tells Kouichi that she is very busy so she has to go, but whenever he needs help just call for Buurin. Buurin departs by saying "Bye-bu."

At home Karin is feeling very uneasy that Kouichi has seen her as Buurin. Karin's dad talks to Karin about the soccer game between her school, Sei Ringo Gakuen, and the other leading school, Warasuno Junior High School. He tells her that he will be there as reporter for a newspaper and warns her about the rival school's soccer team. He tells Karin that her school's soccer team better be careful of their opponents. Karin remembers back to the group of thugs who attacked Kouichi and now realizes that they were soccer players from Warasuno Junior High School.

Kouichi is walking down the street when a strange guy stops him. He comments that Kouichi must be sore from soccer practice and that he will give him a massage to feel better. Kouichi tries to resist by saying that this isn't a good place to get a massage but the man pushes him onto the table and begins. Buurin clobbers the man on the head with a 5 ton hammer and takes off his disguise. It is the captain of the soccer players who attacked Kouichi earlier. He runs off and Buurin informs Kouichi that he is the Warasuno Junior High School's soccer captain, Tazamaki Goro. Kouichi thanks Buurin and says that Buurin is a good friend. Buurin's "Bu" mark on her belly starts to fade and she quickly flies off.

Buurin flies back to Karin's house and asks Ton-chan why her "Bu" mark is fading. Ton-chan tells her to take off her nose and turn back into Karin. Ton-chan takes the nose, puts it on his nose, and winds it up. As the nose unwinds Ton-chan tells Karin that when Buurin's energy gets low the nose must be recharged by Ton-chan. When the nose is done recharging it pops off and Ton-chan hands it back to Karin.

Again Kouichi is walking down the street when the same group of thugs attack him by throwing a net on him. Buurin cuts open the net and rolls over the thugs using the "Buurin Ball." Next Kouichi is attacked on the train and is again saved by Buurin. For the third and final time Kouichi is attacked by falling into a pit dug by the thugs. The thugs gather around the pit laughing when Kouichi starts rising out of it. He is being pushed up by Buurin who pins the Warasuno soccer players to a tree using the "Buurin Shuriken."

Buurin and Kouichi are sitting together in the sunset talking about tomorrow's soccer game. Kouichi tells Buurin to be at the game tomorrow and Buurin/Karin is not too happy about this. Then Kouichi holds Buurin's hand and says it's a date. Buurin gets hearts in her eyes and replies yes.

The Sei Ringo soccer team and the cheerleaders are all getting into a school bus. Karin is dressed in a green gym outfit with a heart and a pig nose painted on her cheeks which is pretty cute. Karin's dad, Shinichirou Kokubu arrives and meets with Arashiyama-sensei who will also be going along. Kuroha Keiko and her group of cheerleaders cheer for the Sei Ringo soccer team as the crowd enters the bus. Kouichi is sad that Buurin didn't show up for their date as he gets on the bus.

On the bus someone is singing the song Ai Ha Kakkowarui with the karaoke machine when he notices that the bus is going the wrong way. The bus driver says that he was told to go to Nagoya Stadium on the phone by Arashiyama- sensei. Arashiyama-sensei says he didn't say that and starts choking the bus driver yelling that they have to get to the soccer game. Karin realizes that it must be the work of the rival team. The bus driver says it will take too long to get back on course so Keiko comes up with the idea of using a phone to call the soccer stadium announcing that their bus will be late. Arashiyama-sensei tells the bus driver to stop at the parking area ahead. He attempts to use the phone, but finds out he has lost the telephone number of the stadium.

Karin is sitting on the toilet in the women's bathroom where she turns into Buurin. Of course the other lady in the bathroom is very surprised to see Buurin come out of the toilet.

Outside the bus the students are trying to figure out what to do when all of a sudden Buurin arrives. Shinichirou takes some pictures of Buurin as she tells everyone to get into the bus. Just as Buurin is starting to fly with the bus Keiko comes out of a store with an ice cream cone. She yells to the bus to wait as she tries to catch up with it. She grabs a hold of the bus as it lifts off into the air, but when she looks down at the ground below her she loses her grip and falls. Buurin tries to help her, but can't let go of the bus so she uses the "Buurin Tail" to catch Keiko in her fall. Shinichirou takes more pictures of Buurin for his big scoop.

At the soccer field the judges decide that since Sei Ringo's team is late Warasuno's team wins the soccer game. At that moment Buurin and the Sei Ringo bus arrives. Buurin blames it all on Tazamaki Goro, but the judges say that late is late and they won't reverse the decision. The students of Sei Ringo protest while Tazamaki Goro accidentally reveals that he had them sent to Nagoya Stadium so they would lose the game. The judges now say that because of this the rival school is disqualified and Tazamaki Goro's team mates get very angry at him. Kouichi says that he doesn't want to win this way and requests that the game between the two teams still be played. Buurin asks everyone if they agree with this and everyone decides to play the game. This makes Goro happy beyond words and the soccer game begins. Just at the last moment when Sei Ringo is about to lose the game Kouichi shoots the winning goal! The rival team gives a very emotional speech about how they will practice hard until they are good enough to defeat Sei Ringo's team in next year's tournament. After the speech is finished they run off into the sunset and the Sei Ringo students laugh. Karin realizes that Kouichi isn't laughing and asks him what's wrong. He replies that Buurin didn't see him win. Karin comforts him and says to herself, "Kouichi-kun, Buurin is here."

At Karin's house Karin is very happy because she expects to get a large reward of pearls from the Yarigai. The Yarigai only gives her one pearl which makes Karin very angry. She asks Ton-chan why she only gets one pearl and he tells her he doesn't know and that she should ask the compact about it. She asks the compact why she only received one pearl and it replies that she only gets one pearl each time she turns into Buurin. Karin is happy that now she can become close to Kouichi by turning into Buurin to meet him. Ton-chan warns her she has to be careful about hiding her identity as Buurin. Karin then remembers that she doesn't want Kouichi to become close to Buurin, but she want him to get close to Karin. She gives a sigh as she wonders what to do.

Karin puts the pearl into the Pearl Buuretto and the counter goes up to five.

3- "Namida to yuujou no Smash" ("Challenge in friendship")
(涙と友情のスマッシュ)

Airdate: 17 September, 1994

Kouichi is playing soccer and makes a very nice kick right into the goal. Karin is marveling at Kouichi's abilities, and again thinking how great Kouichi is. Karin then gets a bit depressed because she realizes that she can't be too close to Kouichi because he will find out that she is Buurin. Then Masami cuts in commenting that Karin is watching Kouichi again.

Just as Karin is getting over being startled my Masami, she realizes that everyone is preoccupied with something and asks Masami what's going on. Over on the tennis court two guys are involved in a very impressive game. Masami explains to Karin that the two guys are Mushanokouji Takuma, the tennis club's number 1 player, and Kondou Masayoshi who is the tennis club's coach. Kondou Masayoshi curses as he hits the ball way up into the air, giving Takuma the point. Masami is very impressed with Takuma, but the same cannot be said for Karin. The tennis ball drops just behind Masami and Karin, and Takuma calls for them to retrieve it. Takuma stresses his ego by claiming that no girl can resist his smiling face, which seems to be true looking at his large posse of heart-eyed fans. Karin, now realizing that he meant for _her_ to retrieve the ball, starts looking around trying to find it. Karin is still looking for the ball when Takuma realizes that she is not affected by his beautiful, smiling face. He plans not to worry about this though, as he promises that he will get to her too. Just then Karin finds the ball lying next to the fence. She bends down to pick it up and is kicked in the butt by Kuroha Keiko. Karin's face smashes into the fence and Keiko, holding the tennis ball, claims that she is sorry.

Keiko immediately and very gladly offers the ball to Takuma, but he just ignores Keiko and heads straight for Karin. Karin is sitting on the ground, crying in pain from her encounter with the fence. Takuma kisses her finger and Karin, asking what he is doing, attempts to slap him. Takuma catches her hand and tells her that she has very cute fingers and that he doesn't want them to be in danger. All of Takuma's groupies, especially Keiko, cannot believe what they see. Kondou comes and asks Karin if she is ok. Karin immediately cheers up and tells Kondou that she is completely fine. A jealous Takuma pushes Karin out of Kondou's view and explains to him that Karin has a wound. He tells Kondou not to worry though, because he will take care of her. With that he picks up Karin and runs off, of course Karin is not too happy with this and neither is Keiko. Keiko curses that Karin won't get away with her Takuma-senpai.

Arashiyama-sensei rushes to the school-nurse's office to ask Karin if she is ok. Karin is just finishing talking to Nanako-sensei telling her that she will return to tennis practice now. Karin realizes that Arashiyama-sensei is probably not there for Karin, but to see Nanako-sensei. While leaving she comments to Arashiyama-sensei that she is fine and only hurt her finger, but he should worry about this boy's face. Takuma turns around and reveals his beaten up face.

On the tennis courts Karin and Masami are practicing against Keiko and her partner. Masami hits a very nice ball right past Keiko's partner and Karin congratulates her. Keiko isn't very impressed with their celebration. Then Kondou-sensei tells Karin that it is her turn to practice against Keiko, Karin is very cheerful and wants to impress Kondou-sensei. Keiko hits a very hard ball at Karin, who dashes in the opposite direction and completely misses it. Keiko hits another ball at Karin. This time she ducks it and Masami takes care of it, hitting the ball back toward Keiko. Keiko receives the ball and hits it directly at Karin. This time the ball hits Karin in her stomach. Karin falls to the floor as Keiko comments that Karin is really bad at tennis. Masami stops Keiko and tells her that that was not nice to say, and that they really are good. Keiko offers to have a tennis match on Saturday, the second, to test their true skills. Karin doesn't want to accept, but Masami, Keiko, and Kondou all decide to have the tennis match.

At night Masami and Karin are jogging, practicing for the upcoming tennis match against Keiko. Karin stops and falls to the ground complaining that she can't keep doing this. Masami tells her that she has to exercise her legs to be ready for the upcoming match. Masami tells Karin that whether or not they win and prove their abilities is all up to her. Just then Masami and Karin hear Keiko's background music playing. They look around to find the music coming from a boom-box nearby where Keiko and her partner are practicing some very strange looking formations. Masami and Karin start worrying about what secrets Keiko is planning to use in the tennis match. Karin decides that her and Masami better go and practice.

Karin is very hyped up and tells Masami to start. Masami hits a ball toward Karin, but Karin swings her racket much too early and misses the ball. Serve after serve Karin continuously misses the ball and soon gets tired out. Karin tells Masami to make the balls a little easier to hit, so Masami hits a whole bunch of balls at Karin all at the same time. Karin still cannot hit one of the balls and she complains that her legs are getting sore. Masami hits another bunch of tennis balls while telling Karin to hussle, but she stands still and again misses all of them. Karin sits down to rest while Masami continues to hit balls at her. Masami says that if they don't get better they won't win the tennis match and she gets ready to hit another ball. Karin yells out for Masami not to hit another ball and that she doesn't want to practice any more. With this an argument between Masami and Karin starts. Masami accuses Karin of not wanting to win the match at all. Karin says that she does want to win, but that Masami is just being impossible and overworking her too much. During the argument Keiko and her partner creep up behind a nearby bush and listen as Masami and Karin continue to yell at each other. Karin goes on to make fun of Masami for always exercising for sports and that she is being mean because the pressure is getting to her. Masami claims that she just wants to practice, but that Karin won't try. Of course Keiko, who had been listening to all of this, thinks the argument is quite amusing.

At the Kokubu home Karin is talking with Ton-chan about today's fight with Masami. Karin is sad that she and Masami fought and wants to make up with her. She tells Ton-chan that she will turn into Buurin and apologize to Masami for Karin. Ton-chan tells Karin that she should apologize to Masami herself, even though it would be easier to do it as Buurin. Karin agrees and decides to do it by herself...

The next day at school Karin is walking down the hall when she sees Masami walking toward her. After Karin thinks to herself about what she should do, she says good morning. Unfortunately the wrong person heard Karin's greeting. Takuma-senpai returns Karin's greeting and continues to talk on and on about himself. While Karin is busy dealing with Takuma, Masami walks by and Karin misses her chance to apologize. Karin sneaks away from Takuma who is still busy talking about himself.

During one of Arashiyama-sensei's classes Karin writes a note to Masami and asks her neighbor to pass it on. Keiko gets a hold of the note and opens it. It is a note to Masami saying that Karin is sorry, Keiko thinks that the note is kind of dull...

The note finally reaches Masami who reads it and then looks over at Karin. Karin looks at Masami and makes a big smile, but Masami, still looking sad, turns away. As Karin is wondering why Masami is being so stubborn Arashiyama- sensei notices that she is not paying attention to his lecture and demands that she stands up in class for a while.

On the tennis courts Keiko is practicing against an opponent as Karin watches. Masami, who was standing behind Karin, walks off toward the school alone with a sad look on her face. Keiko comes up to Karin and taunts her that her companion doesn't feel like practicing much. Karin looks over to see Masami walking away as Keiko goes on to say that for two friends Karin and Masami don't make much of a pair. Karin gets upset and exclaims that she will not lose to Keiko.

That evening Masami is practicing tennis by herself using a wall to reflect her shots. Karin is watching from behind a bush and decides that she will confront Masami now. Karin reminds herself that for everything to be perfect again she must do this by herself and not use Buurin. After taking a deep breath Karin gets up and tries to go over to Masami, but realizes that she doesn't have any courage and jumps back behind the bush. Karin decides that she is going to have to turn into Buurin to help her out this time.

"Ba Bi Bu Be Buurin!" Karin transforms into Buurin and joins masami in hitting tennis balls. Masami is surprised to see Buurin and asks her why she has come there. Buurin replies that whenever people have problems Buurin comes to help, she informs Masami that one can't play tennis by themselves.

Buurin starts serving balls at Masami, but can't get a single good ball. After Masami comments that Buurin has to practice, Buurin hits a good ball right into Masami's court. Masami returns the ball, but her arm is shaking by the power of Buurin's serve. Buurin and Masami continue their game of tennis...

After the game Masami goes with Buurin to get a drink of water from a fountain. Masami brings up that her and Karin are in a fight and have to compete in a tennis match against Keiko, so this is a problem. Masami comments that she's sorry and Buurin tells her that Karin wants to make up too. Masami denies this saying that Karin wrote her a note about it. Masami shows Buurin the note that Karin wrote to Masami earlier during class. The note says that Karin will not say that she's sorry. Buurin slips and claims that _she_ didn't write the last part. Masami realizes Buurin's mistake so Buurin quickly changes the subject by showing Masami that "Gomen Ne!" was written by Karin, but the words "Nante Iiwanai You Da" looks different than that written by Karin. Masami agrees and realizes that "Gomen Ne!" is written very poorly. Of course Buurin gets angry about that statement, and says to herself that it is _her_ writing Masami's talking about. Masami wonders who in class wrote the bottom part then if Karin didn't. Buurin and Masami now realize that it was Kuroha Keiko who wrote it. Masami now feels bad that she blamed it on Karin, but Buurin tells her not to worry because it was Karin who requested Buurin to come and help. Masami, thinking that Karin would be listening, starts calling out for Karin to come over. Buurin stops Masami and offers to go and find Karin.

Buurin flies behind a bush and turns back into Karin. Karin is excited and runs to where Masami is, but trips over a railing in the process. Masami runs over to help and Karin and her make up.

It is now morning and the tournament between the teams of Masami and Karin and Keiko and her partner begins. After the first set things are not going too good for Keiko. The score is 6 to 4 in favor of Masami and Karin, the two of them are very happy about this. Keiko warns them that they won't be laughing for long...

The tournament starts again with Karin returning the ball to Keiko. Keiko yells out "Kuroha Formation X" and she and her partner form an X with their rackets. A ball comes from out of no where and scores a point for Keiko's team. Everyone is wondering what happened when Keiko remarks that this is her great ability. The match starts again and again Keiko uses one of her formations, this time it is the "Kuroha Formation Chicken". Just as with last time a ball comes out of no where and scores a point against Masami and Karin. "Kuroha Formation Tokyo Tower" "Kuroha Formation Kataguruma(model car)" Keiko continues to use her mysterious special attacks and in return wins the second set. Keiko sits down to drink from a thermos and, very arrogantly, comments that this game is hers. Just after saying this she sticks the straw of the thermos up her nose (very funny).

Masami is very worried and is feeling pessimistic about being able to beat Keiko's team because of all their special attacks. Just then Karin regains her confidence and is determined to win the next set.

As Keiko yells out "Kuroha Formation X" Karin closes her eyes and tries to concentrate. As the ball flies into her court, Karin runs over to it and hits it. Karin scores a point for her team! Karin, who is very happy, runs over to Masami and whispers something into her ear. Next Keiko tries to use the "Kuroha Formation Chicken". Karin explains that these attacks are useless. She explains her secret that to hit Keiko's ball she just has to deliver her smash a little late after Keiko begins. This time Masami tries it and manages to hit the "Kuroha Formation Chicken". Karin's idea works and she and Masami go on to win set 3 and the tournament.

Takuma-senpai is very happy and tells his "Koneko-chan" that he remembers her agreeing to be with him if she wins. Karin yells to Takuma that his memory has become bad and she didn't agree. Keiko also claims that Takuma's memory is bad, probably because she doesn't want him to be with Karin. Everyone, including the three piglets, starts making fun of Takuma-senpai saying that he is senile.

At the Kokubu house Ton-chan and Karin are in Karin's bedroom. Karin takes the Yarigai and tries to get some pearls from it, but none come out. Karin says that it's not a problem because soon she will be able to turn into a cool super-heroin. Karin looks at the counter on the Pearl Buuretto and sees that it is only at 3 pearls and is now rather depressed. Karin points it out to Ton-chan that she did a very good deed today and tries to convince Ton-chan to give her some pearls. Ton-chan won't agree which starts an argument between them.

4- "Ring ni kaketa seishun" ("A Duel in Women's boxing")
(リングに賭けた青春)

Airdate: 24 September, 1994

The episode opens up with Arashiyama Sensei teaching his class, well almost teaching his class as Karin is busy with other things. Karin has her head down on her desk and she is dreaming about Kouichi-kun again. Arashiyama Sensei gets very upset and throws his piece of chalk at Karin attempting to get her attention. Karin, reflex-like, sits up and catches the chalk between her fingers. The entire class begins cheering for Karin, all except one that is. Kuroha Keiko slams her hand down on the desk and starts complaining about how every day Karin always goofs off. Then some music starts to play outside of the school and everybody decides they have better things to listen to than Keiko. There is a truck driving by announcing the upcoming pro-wrestling tournament this Sunday. Kashiwagi is excited about the event and at the request of Kouichi, he tells everyone that he is a big pro-wrestling fan. He claims that one of the reasons he is a fan is because of the sexy female wrestlers, the rest of the class gives him quite a stare at this. He continues to tell the others about the event saying that a wrestler who dresses as Buurin named Buutan will be wrestling this Sunday. Kouichi is very excited about this and talks everybody into going to the match. Of course Kuroha Keiko bursts in saying that she is the class- president and that they will not go to the match. Then Arashiyama Sensei cuts in and says that this is supposed to be a class and tells them to stop talking. He is too late as the bell rings to end the class. Kashiwagi informs Arashiyama Sensei that Nanoko Sensei is a big pro-wrestling fan and of course this is enough to convince Arashiyama of going to the match.

Karin goes to the site of the upcoming match where she meets up with Kouichi, Kashiwagi, and Masami who also would like to catch a glimpse of the wrestlers. At the site, all of the wrestlers are busy getting the area ready for Sunday, including Pretty Koizumi who is the wrestler scheduled to wrestle against Buutan. Just as the group is wondering where Buutan is, she comes running up the road carrying some bags full of groceries. Buutan trips on a rock and falls down while the contents of her bags spill all over the street. One of the wrestlers gets very angry at Buutan and orders her to go back and buy the groceries all over again. Buutan screams "yes" and quickly runs back to the store. Karin's friends are looking on as Masami comments on how pitiful Buutan is. At this moment they realize that Karin is missing.

At the grocery store Buutan is busy collecting the things she needs when she meets up with Karin. Karin offers to get the other half of the things Buutan needs. Buutan is not too sure of this, but Karin say it is OK. Karin is very quick at gathering the things and Buutan thanks her for helping her out.

Karin is walking with Buutan back to the wrestling site and she asks Buutan if she is embarrassed about wearing the Buurin suit all of the time. Buutan replies that she is not at all ashamed about it and that she wants to be just like Buurin. Buutan says that Buurin is very cool. Karin doesn't agree that Buurin is cool of course. Buutan goes on to say that she looked at a picture of Buurin to make her costume she wears. Buutan asks Karin if she has ever seen Buurin in person and Karin responds that she has. Buutan is very excited about this and immediately asks Karin about it. "How was it?" "It was probably really cool!" "It is the greatest thing isn't it?" Buutan then says that she really wants to be like Buurin and goes off to practice.

Karin is on the tennis courts watching Kouichi play soccer when a tennis ball hits her in the back of the head. She turns around asking who did it and she sees Kuroha Keiko laughing. Keiko starts complaining about Karin again and during Keiko's speech Karin decides to leave. Keiko gets very angry and demands that she comes back. Karin pretends she doesn't hear Keiko yelling. Keiko says that no one does that to the class-president.

Karin again shows up at the wrestling site, this time she offers to help set up the place for Sunday. Buutan is very touched by Karin's offer to help. Karin finishes setting up all of the chairs, but as she is walking away she knocks them all down and has to start over again. She has similar bad luck with hanging up the laundry.

In the ring the wrestlers are busy practicing including Buutan. Karin is standing by the ring watching when one of the wrestlers picks her up and puts her into the ring. The wrestler wants to use Karin for practice. Karin tries to run away and Buutan tries to help her, but the two of them just end up colliding and falling on the mat.

Elsewhere a group of reporters, including Kokubu Shinichirou, are taking pictures of Pretty Koizumi. Shinichirou asks Pretty Koizumi if she has any comments about her upcoming match against Buutan. Pretty Koizumi directs her threats of winning at Buutan to try and scare her. Then the reporters all start taking pictures again and Karin appears in front of her dad's lens. Kokubu Shinichirou is surprised to see Karin and asks her what she is doing at this place. She replies that it's OK and for him to never mind. Then the reporters' attention is distracted by the wrestlers who are leaving and they follow them.

Karin looks over at Buutan who is very scared about what Pretty Koizumi had threatened earlier. Buutan is having doubts about how she could beat Pretty Koizumi who is a better wrestler than she is. Karin comforts her by saying that it's OK because she will be there too. Together they can beat Pretty Koizumi. Karin touches Buutan's hand and says that she can do it, and not to give up. Buutan says nothing but gives a very cute "bu".

Of course Keiko has to interrupt this touching moment. Keiko tells Karin that she is the class-president and that Karin must listen to her. She wants Karin to leave at once, but Karin resists saying that she must help Buutan. Keiko won't take that as an excuse and again demands that Karin listens to her. This time Keiko is interrupted by the wrestlers who ask her if she wants to wrestle. Keiko is very afraid and quickly runs out of the tent.

It's now late at night and Karin and Buutan are still practicing in the wrestling tent. Karin is helping Buutan do sit-ups and Buutan is on her 106th one when Karin gets a phone call. Karin answers it and who else would it be than Keiko again telling her to go home. Next Karin is spotting Buutan while she lifts weights. Buutan is finished with her 100th repetition when Karin gets a telegram delivered to her. Again it is from the "lovely Kuroha" telling her to go home for the second time. Next we go to a scene of Buutan jumping-rope. Buutan stops jumping and lies down to take a rest. Karin gets flames in her eyes and tells Buutan that she must keep going. Buutan complains that she can't because she is very hungry, and then Karin realizes that she too is hungry at the moment. Just then the TV goes on and who else would it be other than Keiko again telling Karin to hurry up and go home. Just as Karin rushes to the TV and turns it off, Karin and Buutan hear a loud noise outside. They rush outside to have the spotlight of a helicopter shine in their eyes. Keiko is lowered down on a rope and this time, with a megaphone, very loudly demands that Karin goes home. Karin replies that she can't go home because she and Buutan are very hungry. Keiko calls for a limo which brings a table full of food for Karin and Buutan. The two of them devour the table of food. Keiko says that now everything should be all right and that she wants Karin to go home now. Karin again replies that she can't go, but this time it is because she ate too much and can't move.

It is now Sunday morning and Karin and Buutan are doing their last practices. Karin is wrapped up in a thick mat and Buutan is practicing her punches and kicks. Pretty Koizumi is watching and comments that it is funny watching Buutan practice. She says that today's match should be fun. This doesn't bother Karin who then tells Buutan to keep practicing, but Buutan's confidence has dropped. She tells Karin that she is afraid of Pretty Koizumi as she has an image of Koizumi standing on Buutan who is badly beaten up. "I just can't fight, Karin forgive me." With this Buutan runs out of the ring and disappears outside of the tent. Karin tries to follow Buutan, but can't because she is wrapped up by the mat.

It is now time for the wrestling matches to begin and everybody including Kouichi, Masami, Kashiwagi, Kaoru, and Nanoko Sensei are there. Then the group sees Keiko and asks her why she is there. Keiko explains that she is the class president and has to be there with the rest of them. Then Arashiyama Sensei shows up and sits next to Nanoko Sensei. Kashiwagi comments that he expected Arashiyama Sensei to show up since Nanoko Sensei was there. Then Nanoko Sensei says that she likes pro-wrestling a lot and Arashiyama Sensei claims that he also is a big fan to try and impress Nanoko.

Back in the dressing room, Pretty Koizumi is informed that Buutan is missing. The guy who informed her of this explains that they don't have any time so he must announce that there will be no match with Buutan. Karin is listening to all of this and decides that she will have to fight against Pretty Koizumi as Buurin to save her and Buutan's image.

"Ba Bi Bu Be Buurin!" Karin changes into Buurin and runs into the tent just as the announcer is informing the crowd that the match between Pretty Koizumi and Buutan is canceled. Buurin does a very nice flip from the ground onto the post in the corner of the ring. This time she announces herself as Buutan instead of Buurin. Buurin has no trouble fighting with Koizumi as she executes her "Buurin Punch" and "Buurin Kick" which sends Koizumi flying onto the mat. Buurin is very pleased with herself and begins another attack when she notices Kouichi cheering in the crowd. Buurin freezes and Pretty Koizumi hits her with a drop kick. Buurin gets up and charges at Koizumi, pushing her into the corner. Again Buurin gets distracted, this time by Kokubu Shinichirou who is taking pictures of her, and is hit by a flying body-slam by Koizumi. Next Buurin applies her special move to Koizumi which turns out to be an attack of tickles. In her laughter, Koizumi kicks Buurin out of the ring and onto the floor. As Buurin gets up she sees Buutan hiding underneath the ring.

Buurin asks Buutan what she is doing under the ring. Buutan is very surprised to see Buurin for her first time, but is too scared to fight against Koizumi. The referee, with some help from the three small piglets, is counting the time Buutan has left before disqualification. Under the ring Buurin is trying to pull Buutan outside, but Buutan is holding onto one of the posts. Buutan tries to explain to Buurin that she can't fight, but Buurin just answers with a punch to Buutan's face. The referee wonders what the commotion under the ring is and continues his count which is now up to 13. Buurin finally manages to convince Buutan to get into the ring and the two tag hands for an exchange.

Buutan comes out from under the ring just as the referee counts to 19. Kouichi notices that Buutan seems a little bigger than before.

Buutan is getting beaten pretty badly by Pretty Koizumi and the crowd is felling sorry for her. Karin is standing at ring-side and cheers Buutan on. Buutan struggles to get up and as Koizumi is charging at her she trips and conveniently lands on top of Koizumi. The referee counts to three and Buutan wins the match! The entire crowd including Karin is very happy and they all cheer for Buutan. Buutan looks to the sky and says, "thank you, Buurin."

That night Karin is talking with Ton-chan, who is eating apples, about today's event. Karin shakes the Yarigai and is very happy to find that two pearls come out. Karin puts the pearls into the Pearl Buuretto and the counter goes up to five. Ton-chan is commenting that Karin received a big reward today when the compact comes to life. The compact sounds surprised that Karin received two pearls this time and Karin hides them behind her back as to protect them. The compact says that it's ok and that it won't be strict this time. With this the compact stops moving and falls to the floor. Karin begins practicing some wrestling moves she had learned today on Ton-chan.

5- "Tsunahiki ga musunda yuujou" ("Tug of War has signed friendship")
(綱引きが結んだ友情)

Airdate: 01 October, 1994

Karin is worrying about the upcoming physical education festival, so Masami comes over to see what is wrong. Kashiwagi explains that Karin is "unchi". Kaoru leans over and tells Karin that it's not healthy to put up with this kind of talk. Kashiwagi explains that he used the abbreviation, "unchi", to mean "undou onchi" which means someone with a lack of excercise. The joke is that "unchi" usually means crap, Kaoru didn't know Kashiwagi was using it as an abbreviation and therefore thought he was calling Karin a piece of crap. Karin starts crying and says it's true that she is lacking excercise.

Kuroha Keiko comes and tries to make Karin feel even worse about the athletic festival. Masami says that Keiko is mean and reminds Karin that there is going to be a Run Run Step relay in the event also. Karin cheers up and says they can leave the Run Run Step relay up to her.

Just then a student comes with the news that they are going to call for Buurin to be at the athletic festival. Masami asks what is going to happen to Kuroha's tug-of-war event and the student said it's called off. Mizuno comes and explains that there is going to be a tug-of-war with Buurin. Keiko asks Mizuno how he is going to call for Buurin, and he says they can put posters up all over town telling Buurin to come to the festival. Karin seems unsure of the idea so Mizuno asks her if she is against it. Karin says she's not but she is concerned with Buurin's situation. Keiko comes in yelling about how Mizuno is taking a very big risk, and that if they go with her plan there is no such risk involved. Mizuno shuts her up and promises that Buurin definitely will come! Mizuno has become friends with Buurin so he is sure she will come.

Then Kaoru recommends that Karin paint the posters of Buurin. Karin isn't sure, but when Kouichi thanks her and shakes her hand she seems happy to help out.

Karin sings while painting the Buurin posters.

Karin thinks about the ways she will impress Mizuno at the festival. Her first scored point will be when she wins the Run Run Step relay, the second will be when she gives Mizuno a special lunch, and the third will be when Buurin shows up. Then Ton-chan reminds her that it will be difficult because she can't turn into Buurin in front of everybody. Karin starts to worry.

The next day at school Karin is worrying about not being able to change into Buurin at the festival. She hears Kashiwagi say that if Buurin doesn't show up Mizuno's honor will be ruined. Karin gets upset about this and promises that both Karin and Buurin will show up.

Karin and her friends go around town putting up the posters. Kashiwagi and Masami are wondering if Buurin will even recognize the painting on them. Kaoru says she will because "Kitare Buurin!" is also written on the top.

At the Athletic festival the Run Run Step relay starts. Karin gets her turn and runs very fast to win the race and therefore scoring the first point to impress Mizuno.

The students take a break for lunch before the tug-of-war contest. Karin is admiring her special lunch she made for her and Mizuno, she looks up to offer some to him but finds everybody standing in a big huddle with Mizuno in the center.

Everyone is concerned why Buurin hasn't shown up yet, Mizuno says it's ok and that Buurin will come. There is an announcment over the loud speaker for everyone to start getting ready for the next event, and everyone starts worrying even more. Kouichi says that if Buurin doesn't come he will take the responsibility to go and find her.

Karin decides to go and change into Buurin. Keiko stops Karin and asks her where she is going, Karin says she is going to the bathroom.

Karin transforms into Buurin.

Buurin immediately receives a distress call on the Dream Tonpact and goes to help someone. Buurin wants to return to the festival, but she keeps needing to help people.

Buurin uses the Buurin Eye to see how Kouichi is doing. She sees Keiko warning Mizuno that if Buurin doesn't show up soon they will hold Keiko's tug-of-war contest instead.

Buurin helps out another person and then uses the Buurin Eye again. This time she sees Mizuno sharing lunch with Kaoru. Karin lost out on her chance to score the second point.

Back at the festival everyone is waiting for Buurin to show up, but she is very late. Keiko tells Mizuno that his time is up and it's his responsibility to announce the Buurin event is off.

Mizuno tells everyone that he planned on having the tug-of-war contest with Buurin, but Buurin is not here.

Kouichi yells "What is that!?" Kashiwagi can't beleive Mizuno is still hoping for Buurin to come. "Ai to Yuuki no Pig Girl, Buhi to Buurin ni Omakase yo!" It is Buurin! Kouichi thanks Buurin and says that he knew she would come.

The tug-of-war contest starts and Buurin is easily winning over the students' team. Everyone in the audience comes to try to help the students fight Buurin. As her power begins to fade, Buurin starts to loose ground to the opposing team. Buurin tries so hard to win that she turns red.

Mizuno stops pulling and starts cheering for Buurin who is now starting to lose. Mizuno runs over and helps Buurin pull, saying that their friendship is strong and alive and that they will combine their power. Buurin and Mizuno start gaining ground to eventually win the contest.

Buurin and Mizuno are about to embrace when Buurin's "Bu" mark starts to disappear. Buurin leaves and changes back into Karin.

Karin meets her friends who ask her where she was because she missed a very important time since Buurin showed up. Karin apologizes when Keiko asks her if she really was in the bathroom the whole time.

Karin is lying in bed and says that today was a tough day. Ton-chan floats by, eating an apple as though he doesn't notice her at all. Karin calls Ton-chan a cold person. Karin is very happy that she receives two pearls today and wishes herself luck from tomorrow on. Ton-chan makes a come-back by saying that Karin is only interested in money.

The counter on the Pearl Buuretto goes up to seven.

6- "Hakken! Buurin no doguu" ("Secret of the Ancient Treasure")
(発見!ぶーりんの土偶)

Airdate: 08 October, 1994

Arashiyama-sensei calls out to the students and tells them that this zone called Tonkororin is an ancient ruins area. He tells them all that if they discover a relic to stand up and have everybody take a close look at it.

Then Arashiyama-sensei notices Karin and Masami eating candy. Karin comments to Masami about how delicious the candy was and is interrupted by Arashiyama-sensei. He says, "this is not about candy, don't you understand the romanticism of these ancient ruins?" Karin thinks about the word romanticism (roman), but still has her mind on sweets. She switches the word around and instead thinks of chestnuts (maron). Karin then says that she wants to eat some "monburan". Arashiyama-sensei gets angry and tells Karin that it's "ro-ma-n" and not "ma-ro-n". Karin and Masami leave and Arashiyama-sensei comments that they really don't understand this precious social studies field-trip at all.

Then Arashiyama-sensei looks over at Kouichi and Kashiwagi and comments at how serious they are about it.

Kuroha is complaining that there is too much dust in this area when a truck dumps a big pile of dirt on top of her.

Karin is digging in the dirt and commenting on how this place really is a bunch of ruins, when all of a sudden she uncovers a small statue of Buurin. She quickly hides the statue in her backpack.

Back in Karin's room she is showing the statue to Ton-chan. Ton-chan says that if he remembers correctly it looks like buurin, but he wonders what it's for. Karin says it seems to be a tool and made by people a long time ago. Karin asks Ton-chan about the strange characters written on the statue. Ton-chan starts to read the characters which talks about following the trail of hooves to find the Nose of the Messenger of Justice. Ton-chan tells Karin that the characters are Buurin-go and that he understands them. Karin asks Ton-chan if there is any connection between the statue and Buurin. Ton-chan says that he thinks he remembers his father telling him there is. Karin gets excited and wonders if there would be any literature still remaining that the old Buurin wrote about a way to collect pearls quickly. Ton-chan says he definitely doesn't remember anything about that and leaves. Karin is angry at Ton-chan and says that she will have to investigate on her own then.

Karin is walking in the library with a large stack of books when Arashiyama-sensei runs into her and knocks her down. He helps Karin pick up the books and notices the name "The Mysteries of the Ancient Ruins" on one of them. Arashiyama-sensei is very surprised and asks Karin about it. Karin says that archeology is very interesting and she wants to study more about it. Arashiyama-sensei gets very happy.

Karin is trying to study with Arashiyama-sensei talking behind her about how good this is. Takuma-senpai takes the book from Karin and says that he didn't know his "koneko-chan" was interested in archeology. Karin says that she is not his "koneko-chan". Takuma says this is very fortunate because he is also interested in it. Takuma tells Karin that he can teach her everything about archeology. Then Kuroha shows up and asks Takuma to give up on Karin and teach her everything. Karin yells about all of the noise and then notices Ton-chan outside of the window.

Ton-chan explains that Karin isn't doing too well searching by herself and gives her a map. Karin looks at the map and notices that it has the same writing as the statue. Ton-chan says that he is also interested in solving this mystery, but reminds Karin that it has nothing to do with finding more pearls. Karin agrees and tries to say that she will investigate strictly for the sake of romanticism (roman), but skrews up again and says "maron".

Karin and Ton-chan are walking through the cave indicated on the map when they meet up with Takuma-senpai. Karin asks him what he is doing here, and he says that since Karin likes archeology he is digging to find a present for her. After Takuma's song Karin leaves and meets up with Kuroha Keiko followed by Kouichi and Kashiwagi who are searching for Himiko's buried riches.

Keiko steps on a trap and her and Takuma fall in a pit. Karin wants to help them, but she can't turn into Buurin in front of Kouichi and Kashiwagi. A whole bunch of hands come out of the walls of the pit and start tickling Keiko and Takuma. Kouichi says that this isn't very life-threatening and he and Kashiwagi leave. Ton-chan tells karin that there are probably more traps set ahead to protect the nose so Kouichi is in danger.

Karin transforms into Buurin, saves Keiko and Takuma, and tells them to return home. Buurin hears Kouichi yell and starts flying in their direction.

Kouichi and Kashiwagi are caught in a trap, Kashiwagi yells that he doesn't want to be buried here and become a fossil. Just then Buurin comes to save them. Buurin tries to pull them out, but isn't strong enough to. She ends up using the Buurin Boomerang to cut them loose and then ends up stuck to the wall herself. Buurin pulls herself loose and starts to riccochet off the walls and finally disappears in a trap door.

Karin and Ton-chan wake up in a secret room. Karin wonders how she got turned back into Karin, and Ton-chan says the shock must have taken her nose off. Karin notices a whole bunch of painting on the walls and says that the old Buurin must have been here. Then Ton-chan calls Karin's attention to a sealed box in the room. Karin asks if they should open the box. Ton-chan says the old Buurin's mummy might be inside. They open the box and find the nose inside!

Karin comments that this must be the nose of the ancient Messenger of Justice. Ton-chan wonders if maybe it is the old Buurin's transformation kit. Karin holds the nose up and says "Ba Bi Bu Be Buurin", but nothing happens. Ton-chan says that mabye the effect has worn off. Karin gets a very devious looks on her face and puts the nose on Ton-chan for him to re-energize it. Ton-chan is re-energizing the nose while he complains that it was mean to put that strange thing on him.

The nose stops charging and Ton-chan tries to take it off, but he can't! Karin and Buurin try to pull the nose off of Ton-chan, but both of them fail. Ton-chan yells about what to do.

Then the Ton-pact comes alive and asks what that pitiful voice was. Ton-chan's father notices the nose and says that it was his tranformation kit when he was on earth. Buurin is surprised to find out that Ton-chan's father was also on the earth. Ton-chan's father remembers that after his mission on earth was finished he gave the nose to Himiko to put away in this room. And he also gave Himiko the Doguurin (statue) as a present to remember him. Buurin asks him about the strange traps, and he says he made them to protect the nose. Ton-chan reminds them about the nose he can't get off and Buurin asks his father how to remove it. He says they have to escape from the building in order to remove it. Buurin tries to break the walls, but they are too strong. Ton-chan's father is trying to remember where the switch is that will allow them to get out, but can't. Then Ton-chan yells for them to hurry and get the nose off, which reminds his father that the switch is Buurin's nose. Ton-chan's father tells Buurin to stick his fingers in Buurin's nose and that will let them escape. Buurin follow his intructions and the whole cave begins to collapse.

As Buurin and Ton-chan are escaping from the cave, it explodes sending both of them head-first into the ground. When Ton-chan lifts his head out of the ground, the nose comes off! Kouichi comes up to Buurin and asks if she's alright, he then asks what happened to Karin and everybody starts to worry that she's still inside the cave. Buurin says not to worry because she brought Karin back home already. Buurin says that if they are ever in trouble they can always call for Buurin and leaves.

At Karin's house Ton-chan is treating Karin's injury. Karin yells that it hurts and tells him to be more gentle. Ton-chan replies that this isn't how a heroine of justice acts. Karin sticks out her tongue and wonders how many pearls she earned today. She is surprised with how many pearls she got. Ton-chan's father appears and explains that this is his big service for Karin being full of injuries. Karin doesn't think it's funny and asks if that's supposed to be a pun.

The pearls go into the Pearl Buuretto and the counter goes up to eleven.

Karin offers to return the nose to Ton-chan's father, but he refuses asking Karin to return it to the earth's soil where Himiko lived. He tells Karin that she will also become an excellent Buurin with a lot of effort.

The next day at school Karin finds Takuma with a whole bunch of ancient artifacts on a table. He tells Karin that as promised these are her presents and that he wants her to be happy. Takuma looks around and notices that Karin is no longer there. Takuma yells that he doesn't understand how she can ignore such a beautiful person as himself, but her running away from him only sets him on fire. Then Keiko comes and Takuma gives her all of Karin's presents and runs away. Keiko gets very happy and thinks that Takuma actually does like her.

Karin is sitting in the window holding onto the nose. She wonders what kind of girl Himiko was, when all of a sudden she sneezes. Karin drops the nose and it breaks into tiny pieces. Karin says it's ok, the nose has been returned to the soil.
