As the day wears on though, she feels guilt over what she did. She is relieved when Usada returns to share the cake with everyone. The show ends with a bang as Puchiko uses her me kara biimu to set the off. Notes: * This title is a joke about Dejiko's mispronunciation of her fan club member's names. The kanji for "Takeshi" and "Yoshimi" when put next to each other Dejiko pronounces "Bukimi", which means "Eerie/Weird". "Buu" is the sound affect of a game show buzzer, meaning that something is incorrect. ** "Pssshhhuuu" [PUSHYUU] is the sound of a balloon deflating. *** There is quite a bit of uncertainty about the translation of the title and it could very well be wrong. The title translations were provided by Ryoko-san. Episode information is mainly my own observations of the show, but I did consult Doi's site when I got lost, so some of this information should be credited to him (his page with much more detailed synopsi can be found in my links section).
