Makoto develops a crush on Motoki. She and Usagi then meet his girlfriend, Reika, who is undecided on a study-abroad offer on the continent of Africa. It turns out that Reika is also one of the holders of a Rainbow Crystal.
Tropes
- Dub Name Change: In the dub, Reika becomes “Rita”.
- Gilligan Cut: The opening of the episode has a radio presenter say that it’s going to be sunny all day, before it cuts to Makoto running through the rain, grousing about “that stupid weatherman”.
- Improbable Weapon User: Flasks full of leeches aren’t exactly standard army issues.
- No-Sell: The Youma manages to block Jupiter's thunder.
- Put on a Bus: The episode focuses on Reika leaving for Africa, which she does at the end.
- Relationship Sabotage: Usagi and Makoto try to sabotage Motoki’s relationship with Reika so they can have him.
- Relative Error: Makoto initially thinks Reika is Motoki’s sister.
