#1 - The Happy Prince

The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat. - Season 1 - Episode 9

On his way to school while still being bothered by Emi's wishes and existence and Tsukiko's cold behavior towards him, Yōto is informed by Ponta about his rabbit gone missing whilst realizing that Emi's wish of being Ponta's younger sister has been cancelled. At school, Yōto makes up with Azusa as the latter agrees on helping him locate Ponta's missing rabbit. Emi later cancels a wish of having the girls in their school wear swimsuits after she had her swimming match with Tsukiko as she recalls to Yōto of the person she really got along with. Ponta later reclaims his lost rabbit thanks to Azusa's efforts whilst remembering of Emi and Yōto's close relationship, much to Yōto's bewilderment. The following morning, Emi cancels all her wishes after badmouthing Yōto but later discovers that not all Emi's wishes were lifted; their still-Italic school, as Tsukushi reveals to Yōto that she is transferring to Italy. Suddenly, Yōto founds Emi by the top of their school's tower and prompts to have a talk with the latter to appease their situation. Meanwhile, Yōto and Emi discovers that Azusa is being possessed by the cat god after Azusa's wish of becoming a new person. The cat god explains that it was all Yōto's wish of turning their school Italy from the start and that Emi is only a minor tool for its fulfillment. Wishing that the cat god should disappear along with Azusa's body and prompting Yōto to cancel his wishes in exchange for Emi's existence, Yōto forcibly kisses Azusa, removing her from the cat god's control whilst cancelling Yōto's wish yet sparing Emi in the end.

Shangri-La - Season 1 - Episode 2

The black dots raining down on Duomo lead to everyone fleeing, including Atlas security and military. After the attacks stop, Kuniko and the other Metal Age members perform a search and rescue operation of Duomo's residents. Lady Ryoko is furious on the unknown attack and Leon, one of her men, volunteers to bring a team to investigate the source. Meanwhile, Kuniko, Momoko and Takehiko decide to investigate as well, at the place the attacks supposedly originated from: Ikebukuro. Their team wears protective gear to protect from the dense oxygen and poisonous swamp gas. Karin works with several of her peers to control investments and economy of other countries. However, she goes into a bad mood when one of her peers posts a presumably sarcastic remark. Mikuni punishes one of her retainers for lying by killing her with her psychic powers. Kuniko's team encounter a military squad sent into the Ikebukuro jungle to investigate. They are discovered by Kunihito and flee. Kuniko ambushes Kunihito and interrogates him on the military's presence, and the resonance of their sacred blades. Kunihito claims not to know anything and Kuniko escapes. Ryoko's men find that the artillery attack emitted no carbon dioxide, leading them to wonder if it's nature's punishment on them. Atlas begins the regular ballot to allow Duomo residents to live in the city and Miiko is one of the chosen. Ryoko gets an audience with the lord of Atlas, telling him that the seals have resonated.
