Recap / Monster Rancher S1 E13: Moo Revealed

Go To

Having learned of Holly's Magic Stone, Moo sets out to capture it and the girl. While the Searchers fight valiantly, they are no match for Moo and his power. During the fight, Tiger learns that Moo turned Gray Wolf into a baddie. Moo successfully captures Holly and takes her to his floating castle, leaving the Searchers without a way to reach her.

Genki enlists the help of Falcon, a Dragon who leads others of his kind. While at first reluctant, Falcon has a change of heart after seeing Genki cry. Meanwhile, Moo reveals a terrifying secret to Holly... not only does he know about the Magic Stone and its powers, the reason he does is because he's her father!


This episode contains examples of:

  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Genki gets on his knees and pleads for Falcon's help.
  • Big "NO!": Holly reacts this way after Moo reveals his identity.
  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Tiger asks Moo if he remembers him, adding that he still carries the scar he gave him on his face. Shortly afterwards, when Tiger tells Genki not to bother trying to reason with him, Moo mockingly asks if they've met before.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Moo isn't even fazed by the Searchers pulling out their best.
  • Dramatic Shattering: Holly using the Stone's power to see the identity of whom Moo is possessing is accompanied by a visual of his mask shattering.
  • Energy Weapon: It's revealed that the castle has these when a single shot casually blows up the bush the Searchers were planning to take cover in, nearly taking out Suezo in the process.
  • Final Boss Preview: Moo provides one when he arrives, taking down the team before kidnapping Holly.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • When Holly first wakes up, she briefly envisions her father standing in Moo's stead.
    • As Falcon and the other dragons fly the Searchers towards the floating castle,
  • Internal Reveal: When Tiger asks what happened to his brother, Moo casually reveals that he turned him into a baddie, adding "You're next."
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Moo tells Holly that he's her father.
  • No-Sell: Moo is completely invincible against anything the heroes try.
  • Ominous Floating Castle: Moo's base, which more than lives up to the 'ominous' aspect when they first spot it.
  • Undying Loyalty: Despite the odds clearly being against them, along with knowing his own weakness, Suezo is still quick to agree with Genki that they have to at least try to save Holly.
  • We Can Rule Together: After revealing his identity, Moo asks Holly to join him, saying "[We] can rule the world... as father... and daughter."
  • Windows of the Soul: Seeing Genki's 'clear eyes' and determination to save Holly helps sway Falcon into agreeing to help the Searchers out.
  • The Worf Effect: While the whole group is defeated with ease, one of Moo's first moves is to lock hands with Golem, putting the two titans' strength against each other. Golem is quickly forced to one knee.
