Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine: Episode List

1- Kami-sama no Oukurimono (A Gift from God)
(神様の贈り物)

It’s the first day of the new school year and the Murakami kids, Yuko and Takuto, are excited to be heading back and catch up with their friends. Takuto makes it to school with all his friends and has a normal day. Yuko? She’s about to have one of the strangest days of her life.

Yuko stops by a shrine that doesn’t get too many visitors these days to pray for the new school year. At the shrine Yuko accidentally breaks the bell and drops it on top of the head of a god. Luckily, this is just what the god has been waiting for! You see, the guy’s been the guardian of this town for a while, but he’s also had a gnarly sinus infection he needs to remedy with a nice trip to the hot springs in Italy. Yeah. The only reason our heroine gets her powers is because she’s the only person that stopped by the shrine in who knows how long. Also if she tells anyone about her powers, she’ll turn into a frog. Oh this is going to be a good show.

Yuko is given the power to become Poitrine, based on another ancient goddess. It’s her job to protect her neighborhood from the threats it faces. With the transformation phrase “Cosmic Magic, Metamorphosis!” she transforms into Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine. (TL Note: Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine means Pretty Kamen Poitrine Pretty Mask Poitrine) The outfit she wears when transformed is much more magical girl than anything else you would typically find in tokusatsu, more so if you want to compare it to other female tokusatsu fighters.

Takuto returns home later that day and rushes to get his wallet, realizing he finally has enough money to buy a video game he’s been after for some time, Dragonballz 3. The shop owner tells the kid that playing the game leads to the appearance of a thief who will stun players and steal the cartridge. This eventually leads to Takuto getting in a fight with his friends over the identity of the thief and after he runs them out…bam! The thief appears, trying to stun him and steal the game.

Takuto books it and when Yuko gets home, she has some inkling that something might be up. The Phantom Video Game Collector myth is popular around town and even one of her classmates has fallen victim to him. Knowing her brother might be in trouble, Yuko transforms and goes off to defend him. She discovers that the shop owner who sold Takuto the game is the phantom. He steals the game from people who buy it by stunning them and then resells it. What a fiend!

Seeing this mysterious heroine save him leaves quite an impression on Takuto, he even asks for her autograph. And thus ends the first of many odd adventures from Poitrine.
