301: 電飾の魔境＝その１＝
Denshoku no makyo =sono 1=
(Electric Jungle - Part 1)
While Lum waits in the park for Ataru to show up for their date, he is decided to have tea with another girl. Elsewhere a strange boy is watching television in a jungle hut and the program he sees inspires him to go and search for his own true love. Ataru decides to blow off the girl, leaving Kosuke in his place and go to see Lum after making her wait for nearly an hour. In the park, the strange jungle-boy arrives chasing an elephant and sees Lum. He takes Lum's hands and declares her love, promting her to electricute him. Oddly enough though, it has no effect. He notices that they are both wearing tiger-striped garments and just as he embraces her, Ataru arrives and sees them hugging. He storms off, leaving Lum to go home with the strange jungle boy. When he and Lum get back to his hut, he introduces her to his "grandfather" which is actually a television set.
Chapter
302: 電飾の魔境＝その２＝
Denshoku no makyo =sono 2=
(Electric Jungle - Part 2)
Shingo makes Lum breakfast after she spends the night at his hut. The vegetables seem odd because he is able to power appliances just by plugging them into the veggies. Lum remarks that the juice from them even tastes like electricty. Lum escapes and comes to school to tell Ataru it is his responsibilty to come and rescue her. With that, she hooks a small device to the lockers and when opened they are now entrances to the boy's jungle. When everyone tries to rush in, the foliage immediately fries them. Mendo decides to go and ask his gardener for some insulation suits. As soon as the man sees him he hugs him and calls him "Shingo". Mendo corrects him saying that he is "Shutaro" not "Shingo". He explains that the old gardener lost his grandson in their electric vegetable patch when he was only a child, and soon thereafter the electric vegetable project was shut down. The photo the old man has looks remarkably like the jungle boy that kidnapped Lum. Suddenly Lum appears on the old man's TV set screaming for help and Shingo, the jungle boy, saying she is now his wife. As Mendo, Ataru, Kosuke, and Shinobu suit up and storm through the locker Shingo and Lum discuss how effective the scene they just performed was.

305: マジカルハット
Majikaru hatto
(Magical Hat)
While playing Go at a barbershop one day, a magician walks in and leaves his magical tophat with Kotatsuneko. While he gets his hair cut, Kotatsuneko wanders off and discovers that the hat has the ability to create anything he can think of. Kotatsuneko heads back to the Moroboshi's home where he discovers that Mrs. Moroboshi has thrown out his favorite futon that he uses to cover his kotatsu. Just by thinking about it, he is able to create another futon that pops out of his hat. Ataru tries on the top hat and tries to make Sakura, but he is unable to use it because of his lack of spiritual power. Sakura and Cherry soon come to investigate, and hound Mrs. Moroboshi for dinner. She tells them repeatedly that she has enough only for her family, so Cherry tells Kotatsuneko to concentrate on their pot of nabe and create another. Instead of creating one, Kotatsuneko devours the entire family's dinner. Mrs. Moroboshi is beside herself and tries to make Kotatsuneko make another dinner for them with the hat, but he only creates fish cookies and cook books. Finally the magician comes and disappears inside the hat to avoid getting yelled at for the trouble the hat has caused.

307: プリマの星をつかめ
Purima no hoshi o tsukame
(Reach for the Stars, Prima Ballerina!)
Hoshikuzu is an extremely talented ballerina, but has trouble sticking her landings. Slippery things just seem to appear right where she is about to land and cause her to slip and fall. Unknown to her, her rival, Hanagatsuo, is behind the accidental spills. Hoshikuzu slips once again, costing her the prima-ballerina role in the upcoming production. On her way home, she watches in horror as a Dappya child is almost hit by a truck, but Ryunosuke leaps in and makes a gallant save. Hoshikuzu begs Ryunosuke to train her, and Ryu agrees since ballet is such a feminine dance. She starts by teaching her to drag a truck behind her, and carry heavy loads up temple stairs. Hanagatsuo hooks up with Mr. Fujinami to help ensure that Hoshikuzu does not get too good, but when it comes time for another try out, Hoshikuzu sticks her landing so well she kicks right through the floor. Because of Ryunosuke's intense training she decides that board breaking martial arts may be more her style.

Kosumo bokkusu [hako uchu] ni himerareta kako
(The Secret Past of the Cosmic Box)
Ten orders a Cosmic Box, a small box that contains a galaxy inside. Lum and Ran are visiting each other and start to talk about Lum's old box which was mysteriously destroyed when Ran came over to visit. Ran can not stand Lum's accusatory tone and tries to think back to what happened. She remembers being invited over and bringing her camera to tape it, but Lum had to stay at school late and clean up. By the time Lum was home, the box was destroyed and Ran was gone. Soon, Benten shows up, and Ran suddenly remembers everything. On the way to Lum's house Benten picked her up and then tried to feed the Cosmic Box without permission causing it to explode. Ran runs home to her spaceship and prints out pictures from the old tape that recorded the incident. When Ran drops hints about it to Benten, she honestly can not remember anything about it. Benten admits to being pretty rough on her own Cosmic Box, and switching out with Lum sometimes, but does not remember much else. Ran springs the pictures on Lum, who seems upset, but then admits that she feels better now because she overfed Benten's Cosmic Box once too. As it turns out Benten and Lum had secretly broken a lot of each others things over the years, and now they feel much better about getting it out in the open.

Denki ji kake no o-niwaban; zenpen
(Electric Secret Agent - Part 1)
Mr. Mendo informs his son that from today, he will have his own personal "niwaban" an antiquated term for a guard of the inner gardens who worked for a shogun. Mendo was not aware keeping a guard such as this was still done, but he is greatly upset to see that it his guard is going to be Shingo, the boy who lived in the Electric Jungle on the Mendo Estate. Shingo's grandfater, the gardener, has actually been Mr. Mendo's bodyguard who has been undercover all these years. At first Mendo is against the idea, but decides to test Shingo and sends him to spy on Ryoko, who has been unusually quiet. When Shingo sees her, he imagines himself as some sort of feudal hero saving a damsel in distress, as he had actually just watched a TV program about this. Shingo kicks her kuroko-powered horse and sends her flying only to save her. After meeting, Ryoko learns that Shingo works for her brother and sends him a letter to meet her that night. Unfortunately Shingo is almost completely illiterate, and has to get Ataru to read the letter for him. After realizing what is going on, Ataru goes to meet with Ryoko too.
