The episode begins with Okarun arriving at school, where he is surprised to see Momo waiting for him at the entrance. She engages him in a conversation about aliens, but Okarun is still nervous around her. Unfortunately, they had to split up as they are in different classes. Throughout the day, Okarun and Momo think about each other, eagerly awaiting lunch time to continue their conversation. As noon approaches, they look for each other but struggle to find each other until there are only a few minutes left before lunch ends.
Due to an accident, their faces collide and they accidentally kiss. Momo’s friends witness this and tease the two. Stunned, they deny a relationship, mock each other and leave in anger. Okarun starts to feel bad, but notices something strange and runs to Momo’s class to talk to her. Unfortunately, Momo scolds him because she is still embarrassed and Okarun leaves sadly. After classes end, Momo, who is feeling bad about the way she treated her friend, sees Aira messing with Okarun and decides to defend him from her, and later apologizes for being mean.
The two reconcile and apologize to each other, but Okarun reveals that his testicles are missing. With Seiko’s help, they realize that this was the creation of Turbo Granny. whose spirit is still within Okarun. They manage to remove Turbo Granny’s remains and trap her in a cat doll. However, Momo has no ill will towards her, especially due to the way she helps girls who have been attacked, and therefore makes a deal with her. In exchange for giving Okarun his testicles back, they would give her back her powers. Turbo Granny agrees, but reveals that she hid Okarun’s family jewels elsewhere.
Episode #5 hit all the emotional notes
What made this episode the best was how much of an emotional rollercoaster it was. The wholesome moment at the beginning where Okarun and Momo couldn’t wait to see each other again was refreshing.

The series easily changes tone from happy to sad, and episode 5 showed Dan-Danis the true reach. As the anime progresses, fans will see this the true strength of Dan-Dan it’s his ability to invoke emotions like no other.
A new adventure begins for the protagonists

Okarun now has the ability to transform into Turbo Mode without the risk of being possessed, and Momo’s psychic abilities are gradually becoming stronger. Everything has been set up for the next storyline, and where the search for Okarun’s “family jewels” will take them is anyone’s guess, but it will certainly be interesting.
