Other dub names: When Dealing with Nature (Studio 100)

Dokko paints a landscape and watches the dispute between Rosa and Olga. Olga demands Rosa to put on a panama hat on, but she refuses to do it. Rosa approaches Dokko and complains to him. Dokko explains that Olga got a sunstroke recently and doesn't want the same thing to happen to her. Olga complains about Rosa's behavior, to which Dokko points out that the sun has now disappeared behind the clouds, but Olga puts a panama hat on him and says that the sun will appear soon because this is not a picture but nature.

Some time later, Dokko paints a picture in the rain while Rosa and Olga are arguing again. This time, Olga demands to put on a scarf because she may be blown away. Suddenly, a tornado appears right in front of them, and Dokko warns them to run for their lives. They run as fast as they can, but the tornado follows them, destroying everything in its path, and eventually then sucks them in. Rosa wakes up in the middle of a tornado. She sees Olga and Dokko calmly drinking tea and playing dominoes on chairs and a table floating in a whirlwind. Since they are in the center of a tornado from which no one has ever gotten out alive, they know they are on the way to another world and they should have been worried earlier, since a scarf and a panama hat won't protect from a tornado, especially when you are inside it. Rosa sits down next to them and notices that it was pointless to force her to wear silly panama hats and unfashionable scarves. Her friends say that there is salvation from every misfortune, but there is no salvation from a tornado, so now she can do whatever she wants. Suddenly, the table begins to sway, and Dokko realizes that their end is already near. Friends are preparing to meet death, but suddenly the table gets stuck on the top of the mountain, and they realize that they are saved.

Dokko, Rosa, and Olga return along the track destroyed by the tornado to their valley. Olga is unhappy that Rosa is walking through puddles. Rosa does not understand how is it possible to pay attention to such trifles after all they been through. Olga declares that these are not trifles and tells her about bad things that can happen, but is interrupted by Dokko, who finds his painting on a tree and regrets that he didn't have time to finish it.

Tropes:

  • Artistic License: Part of the episode has characters interact with each other after getting sucked inside the tornado. In real life, it's impossible to speak or breathe there, due to having no air.
  • Big Storm Episode: A destructive tornado appears on the island halfway through the episode. It destroys most of what there was on the island and sucks inside Dokko, Rosa and Olga. Despite former's claim that nobody was able to make it alive out of one before, they miraculously survive.
  • Call-Back: As soon as Dokko sees that the sun is covered with clouds, he immediately draws them on the picture because he always draws reality.
  • Dissonant Serenity: Dokko and Olga don't pay any attention to the fact that they are inside the tornado because they have already come to terms with the fact that it's impossible to get out of it.
  • Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud: Refuted. As soon as the tornado appears in front of them, Dokko demands to immediately run away from it.
  • Human Snowball: After being saved from the tornado, Olga rolls down from the top of the mountain and turns into a big snowball.
