Summary
Tsuyoshi Kijino is an ordinary office worker living a happy life with his newly married wife, but things take a sudden turn when he transforms into Kiji Brother. He keeps this a secret to his wife. Meanwhile, Haruka Kito continues her search for this "Taro Momoi" as she decides to follow such a strong man in the city. In her search, a woman who has desire for youth transforms into ResshaKi. Haruka tries to transform into Oni Sister to stop her, but...
Tropes
- Bait-and-Switch:
- Shinichi seemingly looks through Haruka's Paper-Thin Disguise... only to tell her that he found out because of the writing on her hand.
- When it seems that Haruka is going to see Taro after Jin told her the exact time and location she needed to be... she ends up seeing Sonoza instead, leading her to believe that he's actually Taro.
- Cannot Tell a Lie: Taro's inability to lie is fully shown off here. He actually tells his co-workers what he's going to put down for Rock–Paper–Scissors before actually doing the game, naturally losing every single time. He then bluntly tells his boss that she looks 68 years old, no matter how much younger she looks, which leads her to spiral into transforming into ResshaKi.
- Electric Slide: Haruka does this once again to swear loyalty to Sonoza, naturally getting brushed off at her expense.
- Mundane Utility: Tsuyoshi transforms into Kiji Brother to save him and Miho from getting hit with a truck.
- Obviously Not Fine: Despite Tsuyoshi's insistence that he's fine, Taro takes it into his own hands to fix his dislocated shoulder... and it works.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Haruka decides to put on a pair of cartoony glasses to disguise herself at her job because of the shame that she feels from the plagiarism accusations from last episode. Shinichi sees through it... because of the writing on her hand.
- Poor Communication Kills: Jin shows up and only tells Haruka that "Taro Momoi" will show up the next day at Rashonomiya Junction at 3:00 P.M. Unfortunately not only was Taro driving by in a vehicle, preventing Haruka from being able to see him, Sonoza shows up walking across the junction as well, leading her to mistake the latter as "Taro".
- Selective Obliviousness: By the end of the episode, Haruka begins to suspect that Don Momotaro may have actually been "Taro Momoi"... and then hopes that isn't the case.
- Shout-Out: Haruka uses Zenkaiger!Kaito’s catchphrase and signature hand gesture to profess her innocence, to which Kaito asks what she's doing.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Taro telling Sanae she looks 68 no matter how much she de-aged herself pushed her over the Despair Event Horizon and caused her to evolve into Ressha-Ki.
- Trauma Conga Line:
- The line continues for Haruka as she has to work at Donbura to sustain herself, with many of its patrons figuring out that she works there. On top of that, an article detailing her plagiarism accusations has an Unflattering ID Photo at the top.
- Tsuyoshi's life only managed to get worse when he became a hero - he got his shoulder dislocated, his bike was stolen, his respect at work is basically nonexistent, and he almost got hit with a truck while walking with his wife.
