Other dub names: Birthday Bash (4Kids); Mr. Anonymous (Studio 100)

Today was going to be Carlin's birthday party, but everybody else seemingly forgot about it. All alone, he eats the cake and tears off the page of his calendar. The next day, Rosa and Wally find a strange note on Carlin's door while playing blind man's buff. It says that some anonymous person is going to make Carlin disappear because no one needs him here. Rosa shows the note to Carlin, but he doesn't take it seriously.

At night, KikoRiki gather at Carlin's house. Dokko asks if they have noticed anything strange or any suspicious strangers lately. Everyone answers in the negative. Dokko decides to strengthen security measures. Chiko and Krash were set to patrol the yard. Krash does not like the flickering lantern, and he suggests turning on something brighter. Meanwhile, Dokko is studying the note with a magnifying glass and wonders if Carlin has anyone envious or bitter of him, which is denied. Suddenly, the light goes out. Dokko lights a candle and sees Chiko in the doorway, followed by a sparkling Krash, who is to blame for the blackout. Dokko examines the note again and discovers that it is written on a calendar sheet. This means that the anonymous person has already been there.

Hearing this, Pin commands everyone to be evacuated to his house. When they arrive, Pin closes and locks all doors and windows. Now they are protected and can wish Carlin a happy birthday. Carlin stops them because his birthday was yesterday. Dokko notices that Carlin had previously torn two sheets out of the calendar by mistake and missed one day. Carlin realises his mistake and confesses that he was the one who wrote the note because he thought no one else needed him. He offers to go to his house and celebrate, but when he opens the door, he discovers that Pin's house is in the middle of the sea, safe from anyone anonymous.

Tropes:

  • Continuity Nod: Wally wears the same button talisman that Olga gave him in a The Lucky Talisman.
  • Facial Markings: KikoRiki make a disguise in the form of gray stripes on the faces.
  • Not-So-Forgotten Birthday: Carlin thinks that no one came to his birthday party because he's not needed anymore. This is pretty much what drives him to make up the whole "anonymous" conspiracy. As he eventually finds out, nobody forgot about him, he just tore off two sheets of the calendar without noticing and assumes his birthday was the day before it actually is.
  • One-Person Birthday Party: The beginning of the episode shows Carlin setting up the birhtday party a day earlier than he should have, leaving him to celebrate in loneliness.
