Summary:

Hime volunteers everyone for kindergarten care, and the kids terrorize the group until Ao uses her Satori powers to give the kids exactly what they want. However, there is one anti-social emo kid named Junta in the corner, and Ao tries to help the kid out. When Ao reads his mind and finds out that Junta is especially focused on juggling a soccer ball 20 times, Junta gets offended at the mental intrusion and runs off.

Ao reminisces about how Gin once told her that it’s up to the user to love or hate the Satori power. It turns out Junta was pissed off because his dad was on a secret mission to find their mom and didn’t want to alert the mayor. The dad tricked Junta into thinking that by juggling the ball 20 times the family would be reunited. Ao does a little research and with the help of the rest of the YLCO she is able to bring the family back together. Things are going great for Ao until suddenly Enjin and a whole bunch of crows appear to terrorize the town.

Reaction:

What the hell was this crap? This was such a stupid episode that did nothing but show that Ao’s Satori ability is way overpowered. Since it’s not a passive ability, I don’t see what Ao has to angst about. Either she needs to learn to control her impulses or she needs to take acting lessons. It was kinda amusing seeing her looking at those fugly drawings and being forced to use her powers to figure out what the the kids drew.

The story with Junta’s family made no sense either. It sounded more like the mom was cheating on the dad but the YLCO organized some funny coincidences to make the two fall back in love with each other. That’s how it always happens in Disney movies, anyway. It would have been more realistic for Junta to finish up with his 20-hit combo and then be confronted with child social services.
