Masayoshi meets with Harazuka Jun from the R&D department of Monsters Stationary, who provides him with an arsenal of weapons that are technically office supplies and thus legal. Mari invites Hidenori to her apartment and tries to seduce him, without success. Konno puts out a 10 million yen reward for Samumenco’s capture, and Masayoshi uses all of his new toys to elude them. One determined salaryman pursues him up a wall and falls, but Masayoshi saves him; and in return he gives up the chase.
Now that he’s superheroing alone again, Samumenco has his freedom and his dignity, but as the price of his bounty goes up, the threats to his person become greater. You know what that means: It’s Batman Time. Enter Masayoshi’s Lucius Fox: the ninth and final main cast member, Harazuka, and the ridiculous notion that his arsenal consists of pens, staplers, and tape measures. We have to admit, his pursuers look a little slow and hapless at times, but we’ll chalk it up to Menco’s training that he’s able to make them look as bad as they do while trying to grab him. Most importantly, he’s no longer dependent on Samurai Girl to bail him out.
As for Mari, she’s successfully wrangled her fellow idols into joining her crusade—Mizuki because she’s a good, loyal friend, and Moe, because she’s in love with her. Still, it’s clear she still has a specific itch no amount of Moe-kissing or gonad-stomping can scratch: she wants Hidenori to “arrest” her, and comes on strong and a little nuts in their meeting. Nothing doing; the good constable only has eyes for his girlfriend, whom we’ve never laid eyes on (and probably never will, as a running gag). With all the fame and power Mari enjoys, she can’t have the one thing she truly wants. But it’s not as if she’s going to give up…
