     This episode begins with a great commotion occurring at the junior high school, it seems that a new transfer student has arrived and he is even better than Fuji-pi at soccer. The new transfer student, Irisawa Kiriya has now become the new hot guy on campus, and all of Nagisa’s friends think that it would be wonderful to have him as a boyfriend even if he younger than some of the girls. This conversation leads Nagisa’s mind to wonder what it would be like to have Fuji-pi as her boyfriend, danger Will Robinson, approaching desire overload levels.

        Later during lunch Nagisa visits Honoka in the science lab where she gets a shocking experience when she touches one of Honoka experiments she working on for the upcoming science fair. After school, Kiriya has encounters with both Nagisa and Honoka at different times, Nagisa thinks he’s a nice guy, but Honoka just seems to blow him off. Then we see Posiony making fun out of him for getting blown off by Honoka, it turns out that he is Posiony’s younger brother. Kiriya tells her he is only interested in the girls because they defeated two of their allies.

      The next day at the science fair the project that Honoka, Yuriko, and the rest of the science club had worked so hard on is about to be presented. Nagisa is also attending the fair to support Honoka when Kiriya and Fuji-pi walk up and start talking to Nagisa, poor Nagisa gets all flustered being around Fuji-pi. Kiriya takes off leaving Fuji-pi and Nagisa alone, Nagisa goes to pieces trying to strike up a natural sounding conversation with Fuji-pi, and she even goes into higher overload level when Fuji-pi accidentally touches her.

       As Honoka’s group begins their presentation on lightning, we see Posiony watching them from behind the stage curtain. A few seconds later the electrical current in the building goes crazy and people begin to flee out of the building, and Fuji-pi helps evacuate the building. Honoka tries to get her friend Yuriko and the rest of the science club out of the building but some of them gets locked inside. All the doors to the theatre slam shut, and Fuji-pi tries to gets back inside to help Honoka and Nagisa. Both Nagisa and Honoka seem to think that this event is caused by the dark power again.

       Soon Honoka’s science project transforms into a electrical monster and begins to attack everything, Nagisa hooks up with Honoka and they transform in to Pretty Cure. Two of Nagisa’s friends were also trapped inside along with Yuriko and some other girls, and it seems that some of them might have seen the fight starting to happen. As Pretty Cure is about to attack the science project, Yuriko steps in front of it asking the girls to not damage the project but she is soon injured by the monster. Nagisa saves her at the last minute but she still asks that it not be destroyed. The girls call out Posiony. but she won’t stay and fight, she leaves the girls with the monster.

      The girls have no other choice but to use their main attack against the monster even if it will destroy the project. After the monster is defeated, the girls tell Yuriko that she got shocked and passed out, and then the science fair resumes. Honoka and the science club finished their presentation without any problems, and even though Honoka was the brains of the project they decide to name the project after Yuriko due to her dedication to the club. We never do find out if the project took first place but everyone seems to have had a good time. Well, that’s all for this episode.

       Well, this episode pretty much follows the same formula of the previous episodes with the exception that Posiony is much sneakier about her plots then the other bad guys. We also get to see how Honoka interacts with her fellow science club members, in a previous episode we saw how Nagisa had to deal with a girl crushing on her, and now we see how Honoka has to deal with Yuriko having a kind of infatuation with her.

      Also, we see that Nagisa has still not been able to come to terms with her feelings for Fuji-pi, while she is clearly attracted to him she still can’t help losing her composure around him, oh well. The introduction of Posiony’s younger brother into the school will probably stir the mix up, almost every girl is instantly smitten with him but Honoka just kind of blew him off. It seemed that Kiriya was quite shocked about this, and he seems to very intrigued by Honoka’s reaction or lack of reaction to him, I can almost feel him becoming attracted to her, it’s like the old saying, you always desire what you can’t have.

        The last really interesting thing was that Pretty Cure most likely was actually scene battling the monster by some students. When the battle took place there were at least five other students in the building, Nagisa’s two friends were asleep when the battle started and most likely didn’t see it or at least not much of it, Yuriko probably didn’t see their transformation but she did see the girls in their transformed state, but due to her being knocked out she might not remember everything. But, two other girls saw almost everything that occurred during the battle, I don’t know if they put two and two together, linking Nagisa and Honoka with the magic girls they saw.

     In most magic girl shows, close friends and acquaintances will sometimes actually figure out, or actually see that their friend is a magic girl, but they will almost always only hint at the discovery or just never mention it. It will be really interesting to see how the two girls who saw the battle will react and deal with what they saw.   

         This episode begins with Ran waking up to a beautiful morning and she tries her best to make some bento for her and Rui to eat during a hike they will be taking later.  Just as Ran is about to finish the bento Rui shows up with Midori, Ran tries to act like it’s a bad dream, Midori wouldn’t barge in on her date with Rui, would she?

      While the three of them are on the train to the country Ran asks Midori why she’s butting in on her date with Rui, and Midori tells her since she can’t be with Rin why should Ran be able to get all lovey-dovey with Rui. Once they get to the country they take a hiking trail into the woods. At the top of a scenic lookout Ran and Rui fall down a slope and Midori follows them down where Rui finds a hidden forest path.

       As they begin down the path, Rui sees a stone traveling Kami, as Midori and Ran begin bickering about the stone Kami, Ran hears a voice coming from inside the statute. Ran places her hand on the statute and she asks it what it wants, it tells her it’s name is Kashiwaba Iratsuko and it tells her to take him to Iratsume Sakura.

        Ran tries to lift the stone but it’s too heavy, so Rui puts it into his back pack, and then the group goes to a library to try and locate the “Sakura of Onjo” but they don’t have any luck until they run into a old man. Midori finds out the the Sakura of Onjo is gone and only it’s stump remains. The old man then tells them the legend of Sakura of Onjo, it’s a pure love story about a promised and never fulfilled love. He tells the group that the Sakura stump is nearby the library, somewhere around the parking lot.

        The group rushes outside to find the tree stump, but before they can begin their search Rui is dragged through the parking lot by the stone Kami until he ends up by a giant tree stump. Then the group sees a vision of the boy and girl being reunited in the afterlife. At first the girl is pissed at the boy for making her wait so long (hundreds of years) but soon his love for her makes her anger go away and they embrace and are reunited. Well, that’s all for this episode.

 

         Well, this was another enjoyable episode of Telepathy Shojo Ran, nothing too deep or too dangerous here. Alas, poor Ran, she can never seem to get any alone time with Rui, but what would she do with it anyways? Probably nothing. In the last episode, Ran’s friend called her a overly pure junior high school girl and that’s most likely true.

       The whole moral of this episode is that true love can last forever, the boy promises to return to the girl after three years, but on his way back home he dies, so instead of fading away he turns into a stone Kami waiting for someone to return him to his love. The girl who also dies waiting for the boy’s return and becomes a Sakura tree waiting for his return. In the end, even after hundreds of years and a little issue called death can’t keep the lovers apart. Overall this was a nice sweet romance tale with a happy ending.

       Now to my favorite subject in this series, Midori. I really love her sassy, self-confidante, and smart arsed nature. I found her response to Ran asking her why she’s interrupting her date with Rui quite funny, if I can’t be alone with your brother why should you be alone with Rui.

      Now for my smart arsed non-Japanese response to Midori’s situation; if I was Rin I’d be all over Midori, she’s smart, cute, she love to eat and he loves to cook, and she is clearly interested in him. He should cook her a nice meal then carry her to his room, and then take off those cute strappy shoes she’s always wearing and ………………………, and show Midori, the girl who’s been lonely her whole life some good loving. Oh wait, I’m digressing into the wrong genre, must shop writing now. Below are some cute pics of Midori.

       My next entry into my cute girl/ idol category is Marika, she is 18 years old and a model for the Girlz High website, her vital stats are H-153, B-86 W-60 H-86. Below are a few cute pics, click to view full size, enjoy.
