Synopsis

While training, Pucca shoots a suction arrow at Garu with a coupon to the Goh-Rong restaurant. With Mio in tow, he goes to have dinner there. Mio sees Yani and decides to eat with her, but makes a mess in the process, displeasing Yani who goes to clean off in the cat's restroom. However, the sign for the restroom was switched to a door leading outside, causing Yani to be kidnapped by Tobe. When leaving the restaurant, Garu and Mio hear Yani's distressed cry and give chase. Pucca shows up on her motor scooter, picking up Garu in the process. They are led to a ship where Garu and Mio are trapped while trying to rescue Yani. Pucca comes in to rescue Garu, quickly dispatching Tobe's minions, and using a swordfish to cut Tobe's clothes, causing him to swim away in embarrassment. Pucca brings Garu, Mio, and Yani back to the restaurant, and while the cats eat, Pucca shows Garu her Jell-O dessert. Unimpressed, Garu tries to leave, but Pucca sticks him in the Jell-O and kisses him repeatedly.

Production notes

Pucca loves Garu, and she wants to kiss him every day. Young Garu has a different idea: he's following the stoic path of the Ninja, and he wants to be left in peace. Pucca's uncles want to perfect their restaurant's noodle recipe, and Abyo just wants to rip his shirt off and be like Bruce Lee.

Funny love and kung-fu kicks abound in this comedy starring this well-loved Asian licensing starlet.
