This episode marks the appearance of Maniwa’s alter ego: Radar Man, a
superhero whose sole purpose is to combat Lil’ Slugger. The audience first sees him
using a sword to fight against Lil’ Slugger’s bat. After seeing his sword fail him, Radar
Man throws it away and the audience sees what it really is: an umbrella. He goes to visit
the Old Man, who cryptically tells him to “dance with a bunny” (“usagi to dansu”) and
then dies. Maniwa hears Misae’s voice coming through on his portable radar pack (it is
not explained how this works or if this is really what is happening or Maniwa’s
interpretation). He goes to the Ikaris’ house, where Misae begs Maniwa to find her
husband and tells him that Maromi and Lil’ Slugger are the same.
