Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the anime “Nintama Rantarou.” A while ago, there was an episode where the characters were attacked and they fought back together. I can’t remember which season or episode it was. They used things like rotten miso soup to counterattack, but when I search with
keywords, I keep getting other episodes. Does anyone know which episode I’m talking about?
Remembering the Hilarious Chaos of “Nintama Rantarou”
So, I was chatting with a friend the other day about the classic anime “Nintama Rantarou,” and we both got a kick out of one specific episode. You know the type—where the characters are thrown into ridiculous situations, and they have to use their wits (and some seriously crazy stuff) to fight back. My friend mentioned an episode where they used rotten miso soup to counterattack, and I could barely contain my laughter just thinking about it! It got me reminiscing about how I stumbled upon that show when I was living in Osaka. Picture this: I was in a tiny, cozy apartment, surrounded by piles of snacks—seriously, I might have indulged a little too much in the local treats. I had the TV on, and “Nintama Rantarou” came on. At first, I was just snacking and not paying much attention, but then I saw the characters getting into this outrageous battle. They were so clever, using the most unexpected things as weapons. Who knew rotten miso soup could be a game-changer? My friend mentioned it was part of the “籠城戦” episode, but here’s the catch—apparently, it’s from the fifth season, and you can’t find it on DVD or even streaming platforms anymore. That’s such a bummer! I mean, how can something so hilarious just vanish? It makes me feel a bit nostalgic, thinking about those simpler days when I could just flip on the TV and get lost in the antics of Rantarou and his friends. It’s funny how these little moments from a show can stick with you, right? I remember the first time I watched it; I was on the edge of my seat, laughing out loud. And now, it feels like a cherished memory, something I want to share with my child someday. I can already imagine the two of us snuggled up on the couch, snacks in hand, watching and laughing together. Have any of you ever had a similar experience with a show or a moment that just stuck with you? Maybe there’s an episode you can’t quite remember, or a funny interaction that caught you off guard. I’d love to hear your stories or any tips on how to hunt down those elusive episodes! Let’s share our laughs and nostalgia in the comments!
