Plot Overview
Ench-man Returns!
After Principal Ench drives the school children home, he changes into Ench-man to help Mitzi unlock her bike. Shin notices, and soon figures out that Ench-man is Principal Ench, forcing Ench-man to make Shin into his sidekick: Pocket Rocket Boy.
Ai Needs a Hero!
In order to get closer to Shin, the local rich girl Ai Saotome decides to win over Shin's father Hiro's approval.
Ench-man Forever!
Ench-man and Pocket Rocket Boy fail at catching Tiger Woman after she tries to rob Hiro. It turns out that Tiger Woman is actually Miss Katz from Shin's school.
Hima Nohara in "The Creeping Terror!"
Hima steals Mitzi's catalog. Mitzi grows suspicious and tries to catch Hima throughout the episode
Death to the Franchise
Ench-man now has to team up with Tiger Woman in addition to Shin. Neither of which do a good job at keeping a secret about Ench-man's identity. After trying to wrangle together some escaped pigs, other kids and teachers from school want to be Ench-man's sidekick.
Notes
- Even though this is the first episode aired, it is the third produced. Unfortunately, this didn't help the callbacks to the "Ench-man Begins!" vignette in the second episode.
Arc Advancement
Happenings
- The first, third, and fifth segments of this episode continue (and conclude) the storyline of Principal Ench as his superhero identity, Ench-Man. This began in Episode 2.
Characters
Referbacks
- Penny: Shin said Ench-man came over and changed his sister's diaper.
- This line refers back to the Ench-man Begins vignette in episode 2, where Ench-man does change Hima's diaper.
- Hiro: He [Ench-man] saw my wife beat me!
- Again, another referback to the Ench-man Begins vignette in episode 2, where Ench-man arrives to find Mitzi beating up Hiro.
