Yordas traps Shiine using a photo of Chacha in a swimsuit, then hypnotizing him into becoming a rebel by pointing out the Chacha seems to like Riiya better. Riiya returns to Seravy's house before the others looking like he is possessed and sporting a new rebellious attitude. Seravy continues the story by explaining that a powerful demon was able to break through the barrier and attack the castle where he turned the king and queen into a statue. Chacha becomes emotional when she learns that she has a mother and father. Seravy explains that even King Genius couldn't defeat the Daimaō, so they should be careful to not underestimate his power. Seravy was charged to take care of the baby Princess Chacha and was given the Princess Medallion which allows Chacha to transform into the Magical Princess. King Genius then trapped the Daimaō inside the castle right before the Daimaō finished transforming King Genius into a jewel. This jewel was placed into the Princess Medallion. The only way for Chacha to free her parents and King Genius is to defeat the Daimaō. Access has now found out where Chacha and Seravy live Meanwhile, Shiine has begun dressing like a bōsōzoku and begins fighting with Riiya. Yordas appears and states this was his purpose all along: to make it so Chacha could not transform into the Magical Princess because the three were not getting along. He transforms into a giant crab, but finds he can not move forward to attack Chacha (since crabs walk sideways). Haideyansu appears and changes into a giant lobster which Yordas can ride so he can move forward. Chacha tries to transform into the Magical Princess, but Shiine does not cooperate, saying he wants to be first after Chacha instead of Riiya. After Riiya gets mad tells Shiine it has always been the three of them working together, Shiine snaps out of his rebellious phase and Chacha transforms and defeats the two henchmen. Sorges tells Chacha to heal the two henchmen's hearts with her arrow, but Access appears and blocks both of her attempts. He rides off as Seravy and Dorothy fly up. Seravy tells her she must find the Phoenix Sword in order to be able to rescue her parents. Shiine and Riiya tell her they will come along with her as she searches for it. | |||

Chacha and her friends are looking for the Phoenix, and Seravy leaves on an errand. While he is gone, Yakko drops by to spend some time with her beloved, not realizing he is not there. Flashbacks are used to show Yakko's infatuation with Seravy. Then Marin shows up looking for Riiya, but he is off in the woods looking for clues about the Phoenix. Flashbacks are used to show when Marin met Riiya. Marin and Yakko continue to reminisce about how Chacha is always foiling their plans for getting in the Riiya and Seravy (respectively) while Chacha is listening and nodding off to sleep. After she falls asleep, Yakko and Marin leave, and Seravy comes home shortly afterward. | |||
27 | "The Fiery Scene of Chacha's Power" Transliteration: "Kajiba no Chacha Pawā" (Japanese: 火事場のチャチャパワー) | 8 July 1994 | |
Access is talking to Haideyansu and Yordas and planning his strategy against Chacha. The Beauty Selene Arrow is no longer always effective, and Chacha and her friends are off to seek the Phoenix Sword. They head to Mount Bōbō, where they've heard a phoenix lives, in the hope that there may be some connection to the sword. When they get there, they discover the entire mountain is rich in petroleum deposits and is very flammable. Seravy and Dorothy show up in disguise and give a presentation on fire safety, after which the trio continues on their way up the mountain. After looking around for a while, they find a caterpillar who likes to eat fireworks, but it offers no help, stating it has never heard of any phoenix. After they leave, Haideyansu and Yordas offer a deal to the caterpillar if it helps them defeat Chacha, so it heads after them. Once it catches up it begins setting the entire mountain on fire with its fireworks breath. It then spins a cocoon to protect itself from the fire, but Haideyansu and Yordas roll the cocoon into the fire. This causes the caterpillar to become a Phoenix Moth and it begins attacking Haideyansu and Yordas, as well as Chacha and her friends. Eventually, though, Chacha defeats it with her Beauty Selene Arrow, causing all the fire on the mountain to disappear and be replaced with beautiful flowers. They are sad there was no phoenix on the mountain, but they will keep looking for the sword. | |||
28 | "Phoenix Pond Explorers" Transliteration: "Fushichō no Numa Tankentai" (Japanese: 不死鳥の沼探検隊) | 15 July 1994 | |
Chacha, Seravy, Shiine, and Riiya are eating breakfast and discussing what happened at Mount Bōbō. Seravy, after being reminded by Elizabeth, mentions that he has heard of a bird which resurrects itself every thousand years in an area call the Three Ponds. Chacha and her two friends discuss how to get there while ignoring Seravy's speech about how there are many dangers and it won't be easy. Meanwhile, Haideyansu and Yordas volunteer to stop Chacha and her friends in order to be accepted by the Daimaō. Chacha, Riiya, and Shiine are on their way toward the Three Ponds when they find a dango and tea house run by Mr. Rascal and Principal Urara. Since everyone graduated, they've been running the small business until more students enroll. It turns out that Marin, Yakko, and Orin are also working there, each for their own reasons. Haideyansu and Yordas are also working there, and they try to slip something into Chacha's water, but Mr. Rascal inadvertently prevents them from giving her the water and demands that they only serve tea as they are in a tea house. After receiving their tea, the trio explains they are on the way to the Three Ponds to try finding the phoenix. Mr. Rascal and the Principal tell them of the legend: that when the three ponds turn black, green, and red, the bird resurrects, but that the forest around the ponds is dangerous and apparently no one who goes there ever returns. Marin and Orin volunteer to go with them, but Yakko stays behind to try to get Seravy while Chacha is gone. Haideyansu and Yordas also sneak off after Chacha. After walking through a creepy forest, the group finds the three ponds. Marin turns one of the ponds black by summoning an octopus and having it spray ink into the pond. Orin uses her ninja skills to known a tree top into one of the ponds, using the leaves to turn it green. Chacha tries a few times to turn the pond red, but only succeeds accidentally when Haideyansu and Yordas try to pull her into the third pond but grab Marine instead. Everyone works together to pull Marine out of the pond (thanks to Riiya's great strength), and Haideyansu and Yordas are thrown into a tree, knocking it down and letting the sunset through the trees, coloring the pond red. The large stone marker in the middle of the three ponds begins glowing and cracking, then crumbling to the ground. A large frog rises from the dust, asking who summoned it. It turns out to be a frog that can read minds (this is a play on words with the pronunciation of "phoenix resurrection" in Japanese). It turns out it is the Evil Frog King, Tori, from the demon world, and he begins attacking the group. He easily defeats everyone as he can read their minds. He has trouble reading Chacha's mind, though, and begins attacking her. The Frog King reads their minds while Chacha transforms, and he recites all the words they say during the transformation. Even so, the Magical Princess is able to seal him back inside the stone marker. Haideyansu and Yordas escape after seeing their plans foiled. They did not find the Phoenix Sword, though. | |||
29 | "Welcome to the Home of the Phoenix!" Transliteration: "Yōkoso! Fushichō no Sato e" (Japanese: ようこそ!不死鳥の里へ) | 22 July 1994 | |
Chacha and friends are at Chacha's home considering their next move. Seravy is considering the local supermarket ads to determine what to have for dinner when he finds an ad for "The Home of the Phoenix", a new development nearby. Haideyansu and Yordas are considering their next move against Chacha. Chacha and her friends go to the Home of the Phoenix only to find it is a just a tourist attraction, and Chacha and Riiya spend all their money buying cute trinkets and snacks. They run into a woman who is familiar with the legend of the phoenix, and she takes them to a beach which used to attract the phoenix. However, since the Daimaō came to power, the river flowing from the castle is full of filthy, polluted water which has made the beach dirty and covered in garbage. The phoenix no longer comes because of that. Haideyansu and Yordas keep trying to shoot Chacha with an arrow, but people keep getting in the way. The savvy shop owner sells them a poorly drawn map to where a phoenix is supposedly buried. As they are searching, Haideyansu and Yordas try a third time to shoot Chacha, but the arrow flies astray and strikes a tree which happens to be a demonic tree. They apologize and convince it to work for them. Meanwhile, Chacha and friends are searching for the phoenix, and after a little help from Seravy (dressed as a just-passing compass), they determine where to dig and find a treasure chest. Just as they are about to open it, the demonic tree attacks them. The tree is about to defeat them when Chacha's pendant begins to glow, causing the demonic tree to release them. Chacha transforms into the Magical Princess and defeats the tree despite everything it throws at her. After the tree disappears, the store owner runs up and congratulates them on finding the chest. They open it and find a phoenix feather. The shop owner tells them the feather will show them the way to go if they really want to find the phoenix and release the feather in the wind. They release the feather and it draws a picture of a mountain and then flies off, showing them which way to go. | |||
30 | "This Is the Rumored Wing Kris" Transliteration: "Kore ga Uwasa no Uingu Kurisu" (Japanese: これが噂の不死鳥の剣) | 29 July 1994 | |
Haideyansu and Yordas tell the Daimaō that they've found the phoenix: it is at Mount Arigatō. They leave to find the phoenix sword there, and the Daimaō tells Access to not worry as Gandar will defeat Chacha if Haideyansu and Yordas can not do it. Chacha and her friends are hiking through the woods to find the mountain when they fall into a large hole. After climbing out, they notice there are large holes all over the area, including a fairly new one next to a deserted village. A small, very round bird comes up to them while they are looking at the newest hole and Shiine transforms into a bird so he can understand it. Apparently a rock giant, Gandar, has gathered up all the birds in the area so he can try to fly, but he has not been successful yet. All the villagers fled after he kept crashing into the ground nearby. Haideyansu and Yordas find Gandar in a large cave full of thousands of imprisoned birds. Meanwhile, Chacha and her friends are climbing the mountain, but the small round bird is having trouble keeping up. Shiine and Riiya suggest they leave the bird behind, but Chacha refuses to do so. She also names the bird "Piisuke" because it is pink and says, "Pii, pii, pii" all the time. Chacha decides to teach Piisuke how to fly, but does not have any luck. Shiine tries to help, but only scares Piisuke and causing Riiya to almost eat Piisuke. The rock giant flies out of the mountain using all the birds, thanks to help from Haideyansu and Yordas, but Shiine changes into a pair of giant shears and Riiya throws them at the cords between the rock giant, causing it to fall to the earth. Chacha transforms and attacks the rock giant with the Beauty Selene Arrow, but the rock giant deflects or absorbs the shots until one causes a blinding light and it appears to be defeated. However, it then grabs the Magical Princess, Shiine, and Riiya with electrified tendrils, shocking them repeatedly. Piisuke gets upset and attacks the rock giant, flying up its nose and causing it to sneeze, making the tendrils release the Magical Princess and her friends. The rock giant then tries to step on them, and they are about to be crushed when Piisuke gets made and a bright lights expands out from it, knocking the giant over as Piisuke transforms into the phoenix. Piisuke then flies past the rock giant and lands on the Magical Princess' hand, transforming into the Wing Kris when she says, "Lightning Feather, Skill Up!". She uses it to defeat the rock giant. The Daimaō then tells Access it is his turn to go after Chacha. | |||
31 | "Lots of Training!" Transliteration: "Tokkun ga Ippai!" (Japanese: 特訓がいっぱい!) | 5 August 1994 | |
The opening animation changes with this episode, though the opening theme song remains the same. Chacha, Riiya, and Shiine explain to Seravy and Dorothy what happened with the rock giant and Piisuke. Meanwhile, the Daimaō sends Access to defeat Chacha at any cost, and send Haideyansu and Yordas to keep an eye on Access ad report on his actions. Seravy tells Chacha they need to try out her strength with the Phoenix Sword (Wing Kris). She summons the phoenix using the words "Saint Fairy Navigation" while firing a Beauty Selene Arrow. She attacks the monster summoned by Seravy only to find out it is a balloon which easily dodges her first attack. The Magical Princess tries again, but the Wing Kris Burning Flash attack gets out of control, chasing Riiya and Shiine and burning Dorothy. Seravy tells Chacha she'll need to practice more in order to master the sword. They go to the school in order to have their teachers help train them. After Mr. Rascal offers to help train them, they determine he knows nothing about swords and go to visit Orin where her grandfather offers to teach Chacha what she needs to know. While they trained hard, they did not learn too much in the way of actual sword fighting. After leaving Orin's home, while singing about defeating the Daimaō, they run into Access. He easily defeats Riiya and Shiine and goes after Chacha next. After Chacha and her friends try multiple things to distract Access, Chacha transforms and summons the Phoenix Sword, but Access knocks it out of her hands with one strike. Before killing them, Access tells them who he is, and Riiya and Shiine introduce themselves as well. When Shiine says who he is, Access pauses in surprise long enough for Chacha to summon her will to protect them. The Phoenix Sword leaps into her hands and she now understands how to control its power. She attacks access and drives him to the edge of a cliff. He tells them he'll come and fight them another day, summons his horse and rides off. Haideyansu and Yordas report back to the Daimaō what happened, and Chacha and friends tell Seravy and Dorothy all about their encounter. | |||
32 | "Dangerous Love Triangle" Transliteration: "Kiken na Koi no Toraianguru" (Japanese: 危険な恋のトライアングル) | 12 August 1994 | |
Chacha and friends are telling the story of their latest encounter with Access over and over to Seravy. Meanwhile, Access tells the Daimaō that he can know use all of his skills to fight Chacha now that she has mastered the Phoenix Sword and become a worthy opponent. After he disappears, the Daimaō summons a suit of cursed armor which he intends to send after Chacha. Dorothy is in her castle worrying about a sudden weight gain when Access comes in and greets her. When Shiine arrives home for lunch, he sees Access and Dorothy walk out of the castle together, but he can not hear what they are saying. Access is telling Dorothy that he left his son with her, and Dorothy confirms that the Shiine who was with Chacha is his son. When Dorothy asks him if he still loves his son, Shiine overhears part of the conversation and instead thinks Dorothy is asking Access if he loves her. Hoping to avoid an imagined love triangle between Seravy, Access, and Dorothy, Shiine heads off to speak with Seravy before Dorothy can finish making lunch. Seravy tells Shiine that he loves Dorothy. Shiine completely misunderstands (due to his previous misunderstanding) and heads home to ask Dorothy how she feels about Seravy. He leaves before he can take the cake Seravy was making for Dorothy, so Seravy heads off after him and leaves Chacha and Riiya to watch the house. As they are discussing what the Daimaō would be like, the cursed armor attacks them. Seravy arrives just as Shiine is getting ready to ask Dorothy what she thinks of Seravy. He tells Shiine that he thinks Chacha is being attacked by evil cursed armor, and Shiine leaves. Riiya throws a giant boulder at the armor, but it does not seem to affect it. The cursed armor chases them up the mountain and through a lake before Shiine finally arrives to help them. Chacha transforms into the Magical Princess, summons the Phoenix Sword, and defeats the armor. The episode ends with everyone eating pancakes and Seravy wondering to himself why Dorothy and Shiine seem lost in thought. This episode features new ending animation and a new ending theme, "Leaving It to Chacha" (チャチャにおまかせ, Chacha ni Omakase) by Masami Suzuki, Tomo Sakurai, and Mayumi Akado. | |||
33 | "Shiine-chan's Grudge Match" Transliteration: "Shiine-chan Shukumei no Taiketsu" (Japanese: しいねちゃん宿命の対決) | 19 August 1994 | |
Chacha, Seravy, Shiine, and Riiya are playing cards (and Seravy is cheating so he can win), but Shiine is still thinking about the exchange between Dorothy and Access where he overheard what he believed was a confession of lover between them. Meanwhile, Access tells the Daimaō that he needs some time in order to defeat Chacha. Seravy cheats again in order to win the card game again, and Shiine, still deep in thought and not paying attention to the game, decides to go home. Dorothy is taking a bubble bath and contemplating the possibility of Shiine fighting his father, Access, and decides she needs to ask Seravy about it. Shiine thinks she is going to meet Access, though, and he continues to daydream about various possibilities of a marriage between the two. Dorothy asks Shiine to clean up the place and have dinner ready when she gets back. Haideyansu and Yordas follow Access to the Spider Nest Prison but almost lose track of him as he disappears when riding past it. Shiine is cleaning up the books in her library when he happens across an old diary. It is mostly empty, but one page describes how Access brought the infant Shiine to Dorothy. At that moment, Shiine notices Access outside the window (on his horse, standing in the air far above the ground), and he blurts out his question about Access being his father. Access tells him that it is his choice to follow in his footsteps, but either way, he is going to defeat Chacha. Haideyansu and Yordas are below and overhear the conversation. Dorothy is at Seravy's home trying to figure out how to broach the subject when Seravy comments that Access is on his way there. Seravy asks Dorothy to go back to her castle and have Shiine come to help Chacha and Riiya with Access. When she returns to her castle, however, Shiine is not there, and she sees her diary open to the page about Shiine's past. Chacha and Riiya go outside and confront Access, trying to buy some time for Shiine to arrive. Just as Access is about to defeat them, Shiine arrives and attacks Access. However, his magic is not strong enough to defeat Access. Chacha transforms and summons the Phoenix Sword, and begins her test as Magical Princess. Seravy prevents Shiine and Riiya from assisting, telling them that she must deal with it on her own, and that he would have helped her already if he could. The Magical Princess eventually defeats Access, who then tells Shiine he brought him here so that he could grow up free of the Demon World. Dorothy says that Shiine's mother was being held captive by the Daimaō and this was the reason Access couldn't disobey the Daimaō. Chacha and Riiya promise to help Shiine free his mother. | |||
34 | "Reunion! Tearful Lullaby" Transliteration: "Saikai! Namida no Komoriuta" (Japanese: 再会!涙の子守歌) | 26 August 1994 | |
Shiine, with Dorothy's help, is taking care of his father. Seravy explains that the Phoenix Sword can only remove evil and does not kill. Access keeps murmuring about a Spider Nest Prison, and Seravy says it is far to the west in a wasteland, where the Daimaō imprisoned those who disobeyed him. Chacha and Riiya again tell Shiine they want to help him free his mother. The Daimaō explains that to Haideyansu and Yordas that he had them keep an eye on Access because he knew Shiine was his son. He sends the two to Spider Nest Prison to work with Spydia (the guardian of the prison) to defeat the adventurous trio. As Chacha and her friends draw closer to the prison, they can hear the voice of a woman singing. While Haideyansu and Yordas are inside the prison trying to flatter Spydia, Chacha and her friends are outside the prison trying to get in. The prison is guarded by a spirit shield. Haideyansu and Yordas tell the trio that they'll never guess what the password is, so they start yelling things out. Eventually, Shiine figures out the password and they get in and Spydia traps Shiine by pretending to be his mother. After trapping Riiya as well, she begins chasing Chacha. Seravy and Dorothy, disguised as passing thread winders, free Riiya and Shiine while Spydia is occupied with Chacha, and they go to help Chacha. Spydia changes into a huge spider monster and begins attacking them. Chacha transforms and quickly dispatches the monster. Once the monster is defeated, they hear singing again, and Shiine finds his mother. When they get back to Seravy's house, Access has recovered and has had all the evil removed from him. He and Shiine's mother leave him in the care of Dorothy while they go off into seclusion for a while. | |||
35 | "You're So Persistent! Nyandaber" Transliteration: "Shitsukoi zo! Nyandabā" (Japanese: しつこいぞ!ニャンダバー) | 2 September 1994 | |
Shironeko faints outside Seravy's house. After they carry her in, she tricks them into thinking she needs a place to stay and they offer to let her stay there. She puts a sleeping potion into the tea after contacting Dr. Mikeneko (her brother), but then drops the platter of teacups when Seravy offers her the best piece of cake, mistaking his offering her the piece with chocolate as a declaration of love. Dorothy blows her top when she hears and subsequently destroys Seravy's house. Shironeko later tries to replace Chacha's Princess Medallion with a fake while Chacha is bathing, but is stopped by Yakko who suspects her of trying to peek on Seravy bathing. After Seravy tells her Shironeko is a guest, Yakko warns her not to try seducing Seravy, then leaves. Later, when Chacha is asleep, Shironeko tries again, but the medallion keeps moving around, keeping just out of her reach until she uses a butterfly net. The next day Chacha and her friends see her off to meet her brother, Dr. Mikeneko. She offers them the Kitten House, a portable house shaped like a kitten head. Just when they are trying to figure out who she is, Dr. Mikeneko launches the Super Nyandaber robot. Chacha tries to transform, but then discovers the medallion is a fake. Dr. Mekeneko tries to attack them, but finds out the Super Nyandaber robot is too heavy to move just as Seravy arrives disguised as just-passing Renjishi Dancer. This distracts Shironeko so that she drops the real medallion, allowing Chacha to catch it and transform into the Magical Princess and summon the Phoenix Sword. She literally disarms the Super Nyandaber robot, and it crashes to the ground. Afterward, Chacha asks Seravy if she can keep the Kitten House since it was left behind, and he agrees to let her keep it. | |||
36 | "The Mirror of Truth Is a Liar!" Transliteration: "Shinjitsu no Kagami wa Usotsuki da!" (Japanese: 真実の鏡はウソツキだ!) | 9 September 1994 | |
Shiine receives a letter from his father, causing Chacha to want to save her parents so she can do things with them. Seravy explains that there is a way to get back into the castle which is guarded by a magical barrier. Riiya's grandfather brings a giant map showing a secret passageway into the castle, but it is too heavy to carry, even for Riiya. Seravy shrinks it down to manageable size and the trio heads off to adventure. Unfortunately for them, the Daimaō also has a map of the passageway, and he has cursed the path to only allow those who are evil to pass. He also gives Haideyansu and Yordas the Mirror Sword and tells them to go to the Shrine of the Mirror of Truth, which is found along the secret path. They are to give the sword to Mirādo, the guardian of the Mirror of Truth. After passing through Mirādo and a hall of mirrors, they arrive at the Mirror of Truth. They start speaking to the mirror, but it starts saying the opposite of what they really think, causing them to all get upset and flustered with each other. Just as Haideyansu, Yordas, and Mirādo are gloating and about to attack, Yakko, Marin, ad Orin arrive trampling them. While everyone is distracted by all the confessions of love, Mirādo attacks them. While Orin distracts him, Chacha tries to transform but can not because they are not in synchronization as friends. Marin and Yakko try to jump in and take care of things, but they can not agree on a name for their duo. Orin then tries to fight Mirādo using her ninja skills, but Mirādo duplicates them and continues his lightning attack on Chacha, Riiya, and Shiine. Marin, Yakko, and Orin try the Mirror of Truth and find out what it is really doing. With the actual truth evident, Chacha is able to transform into the Magical Princess and summon the Phoenix Sword. Mirādo attempts to blind the Magical Princess, but she just closes her eyes and defeats him by listening to him. The Mirror of Truth is restored to its normal status and a strange coin appears on the ground where Mirādo was. Chacha and her friends are playing around in front of the mirror when the Daimaō begins speaking to them through it. He congratulates them on defeating Mirādo and making it this far, and invites them to continue if they dare. They join hands and step through the mirror. This episode features a new eyecatch in the middle of the episode. | |||
37 | "Barabaraman, the Flower-sprouting Teacher" Transliteration: "Hanasaka Sensei Barabaraman" (Japanese: 花咲か先生バラバラマン) | 16 September 1994 | |
Chacha, Riiya, and Shiine are continuing on their quest, but have gotten lost. Riiya offers to sniff things out and finds Mr. Barabaraman nearby. He is so happy to see them he sprouts thorns all over and accidentally stabs Riiya with them. Yakko was apparently on the way to Mr. Barabaraman's family estate to help him figure out what is wrong there. Since that is where Chacha and her friends are going, they decide to travel together. When they arrive at the Flower Plateau, the place is overrun with huge rose brambles which attack them when they get too close. Yakko tries to help by removing the thorns from the branches with one of her potions, but only succeeds in having the thorns fly around after them. They then see the rest of the plants on the plateau have gone wild as well (as well as mobile), and flowers begin attacking them as they travel across the plateau. Haideyansu and Yordas are at Mr. Barabaraman's family home with their latest underling, who is using a breath weapon to change all the flowers. He does not seem to be able to affect the Madonna Rose at the center of the gardon. As Chacha and her friends approach the family home, Chacha tries to smell a rose, but it shatters when she touches it. When Mr. Barabara see this, he is heartbroken. Haideyansu and Yordas run up while carrying their underling, who explains to Chacha and her friends that the Madonna Rose has been doing these horrible things to the flowers on the plateau, and that his family been trying for generations to defeat it, but can not. Chacha and her friends begin attacking the rose until Mr. Barabaraman runs up and tells them to leave it alone. Makkin (the underling) then shows his true colors and begins attacking Chacha and her friends, all the while being cheered on by Haideyansu and Yordas. As they are about to be impaled by extremely thorny roses, Seravy and Dorothy appear as just-passing gardeners and trim the attacking roses. Makkin suddenly grows larger and more dangerous in appearance and begins attacking Chacha in earnest. The Madonna Rose is able to distract Makkin long enough for Chacha to transform and summon the Phoenix Sword, and she handily defeats it, causing it to release a coin. | |||
38 | "Everyone's an Animal!" Transliteration: "Minna de Animaru!" (Japanese: みんなでアニマル!) | 23 September 1994 | |
The Kitten House seems intent on playing with them when they wake up in the morning. After being flooded out of the house, Chach, Riiya, ad Shiine notice a giant panda tent in their way. Kan-Kan and Lan-Lan, the evil acrobat twins are there to try to defeat Chacha again, but Chacha and her friends do not recognize them. The acrobats first try to defeat them with a ball bomb, but Marin suddenly appears and sends the bomb back at Kan-Kan just when he presses the detonator. They next try knife throwing using Shiine as the somewhat-willing volunteer, but Orin appears and deflects all the knives. Kan-Kan and Lan-Lan try their last trick: a bewitched serving of tea and Chinese meat buns which turn them all into animals. After they notice they've all changed, the evil twins capture them. Shiine, who has become a prairie dog, escapes by tunnelling underneath them, and causing the evil twins to fall into a hole and become unconscious. Shiien then helps everyone escape ad they begin searching for the potion which will change them back to normal. They find Yakko going through the potions in the evil twins' tent, but she consumes the bewitched buns and tea and changes into an inoshishi. The twins then capture everyone again, excepting Shiine and Orin. After disabling the twins again and stealing the potion, they use the potion to change everyone back to human so they can confront their captors on equal ground. The twins have a secret trick, though, and change the giant panda tent into King Panda, an evil underling of the Daimaō. Chacha transforms into the Magical Princess and summons the Phoenix Sword. After a short battle, she defeats King Panda and it drops a coin. | |||
39 | "Cucumber Rolls in the Dragon Palace" Transliteration: "Ryūgūjō de Kappamaki" (Japanese: 竜宮城でカッパ巻き) | 30 September 1994 | |
Chacha has been having bad dreams about her parents, where they turn into the Daimaō, but she does not know what they mean. Later that day, they reach the very wide Yonzu River. They can not see any way across, but a ferry comes along (piloted by Haideyansu and Yordas). Partway across the river, Haideyansu and Yordas convince Riiya to pull the plug in the bottom of the boat, and everyone is sucked down into the Dragon Palace (including marin, who tries to rescue Riiya after hearing him drown). When they regain consciousness, they find they are surrounded by beautiful young girls, who dance for them and present them an amazing feast of all cucumber dishes. After the meal, Shiine is relaxing in a large open bath when he hears some of the girls from earlier talking about them. He takes a peek and sees that they are all kappa, and they are planning to eat Chacha and her friends. Shiine runs back to tell the others but is stopped by Princess Otto, the leader of the kappa. Chacha, Marin, and Riiya run up, and Princess Otto begins attacking them as well. Umibōzu hears Marin's cries for help and attacks Princess Otto. Just when Umibōzu is about to be defeated, Chacha transforms, summons the Phoenix Sword, and defeats Princess Otto. The explosion from the defeat of Princess Otto throws them back onto the shore where they started, and a rainbow bridge appears across the river. As they turn to go toward it, an ornate box tied with a purple cord appears. Chacha opens it and finds another coin, and they proceed across the rainbow bridge. | |||
40 | "Breakfast in the Kitten House" Transliteration: "Nyanko Hausu de Chōshoku o" (Japanese: ニャンコハウスで朝食を) | 7 October 1994 | |
Shiine finds out that Chacha and Riiya are not morning people until they want to wake up. The episode consists of Shiine remembering past events where he feels slighted by Riiya, mostly because Chacha and Riiya have grown up together and so are always comfortable doing things with each other. All of these scenes are interspersed with scenes of breakfast where Shiine continues to feel slighted by Riiya's frank and carefree attitude. At the very end, both Chacha and Riiya offer food to Shiine as he has not been eating all during breakfast. | |||

Unfortunately, that only wakes him up the rest of the way and he begins attacking Chacha and her friends again. She transforms into the Magical Princess again and summons the Phoenix Sword, but Kazandan smashes her attack and knocks her to the ground. As Shiine and Riiya protect Chacha, Kazandan continues a furious attack and prepares to finish them off. Just as the final attack is about to destroy them, the Magical Princess begins to glow and rises, using the strong feelings from Riiya and Shiine to defeat Kazandan with a very powerful Wing Kris attack. However, she is unable to also stop Kazandan's attack and is almost destroyed until Seravy and Dorothy appear and block the last attack. After everyone recovers, Seravy tells Chacha she needs to find the final weapon, and another coin falls out of the sky. | |||

When Chacha finds Mūra Māsa, he is very friendly until he finds out who they are, at which point he runs away and meets Barikimassu Rū, a very large and strong man. He helps them gather the materials for Mūra Māsa (the son of the original Mūra Māsa) and he creates a Bird Shield, albeit one without any decorations. Barikimassu Rū then tells them who he really is: a denizen of the Demon World and the best blacksmith there. He attacks Mūra Māsa, Chacha, and her friends, and Mūra Māsa runs away. He does not get far, though, before meeting Seravy, who tells him he needs to stop running. Meanwhile, Chacha has transformed and Barikimassu Rū is taking everything she can throw at him. The Bird Shield is strong enough to withstand even her most powerful attacks. Seravy convinces Mūra Māsa to help the princess, and he returns and tells her the shield isn't the real Bird Shield. Seravay also tells Riiya and Shiine to believe in Chacha and project their confidence into her. She is then able to defeat Barikimassu Rū.

Just before reaching the top of a mountain where they are going to camp, they find an old trumpeting man named Cloud who happens to be returning to Eden.

Chacha receives an invitation to a class reunion, and everyone is excited to go. The Daimaō is not pleased that Chacha has found all three of the legendary weapons. Harpy volunteers to destroy Chacha due to her hatred of the former king (he banished her after she tried to seduce him into making her Queen). Seravy and Dorothy are worried about the three young adventurers as the enemies they've been fighting have become stronger and stronger. Dorothy suggests that they can always "pass by" and help them as in the past, but Seravy says that only those with royal blood can defeat the Daimaō. Dorothy has an idea, though. She suggests being disguised as monsters and attacking the trio in order to analyze their weaknesses, then helping them out with those later. Shiine overhears them talking and tells Riiya and Chacha about it. Shortly afterward, Marin, Yakko, Mr. Rascal, Mr. Barabaraman, and the principal arrive, followed by all of their former classmates, so the class reunion begins. Chacha goes into the restroom to wash her hands, and Harpy starts to attack, but is thrown off guard when Chacha thinks she is Seravy in disguise. Yakko arrives, and accidentally blasts her out of the building by using the wrong potion. Harpy charges back in and is mistaken as a former student by Mr. Barabaraman, then roped into being the target for the principal's knife throwing show. Seravy and Dorothy show up in the monster disguises at that point and Harpy begins attacking. Chacha transforms and summons the Phoenix Sword, attacking Harpy before Seravy can stop her. The Wing Kris Burning Flash only causes Harpy to grow as she absorbs the magical power. She then blasts the Magical Princess and seizes her. Seravy wants to assist, but Dorothy stops him. Yako and Marin try to help, but their attacks are shrugged off, as are attempts by the principal, Orin, Mr. Barabaraman, and Mr. Rascal. Harpy tells Chacha that after she kills her, she will smash the statue of her parents, thus destroying the royal family and allow demons to rule the world. Chacha is able to summon the Bird Shield and reflect Harpy's own attack back onto her, thus destroying her. After the battle, Seravy tells Chacha it is time to go to the castle. | |||

While Riiya is breaking down the walls that keep popping up, Shiine tries some magic but bumps another trap which puts him behind another wall where he steps on one of the mimics sent out by Modoking. Another mimic tricks Riiya into stepping on it in order to duplicate him as well. Meanwhile, Chacha runs into Modoking. She calls out for Riiya and Shiine when Modoking begins to attack, and the show up just in time to help her transform. However, they do not say the transformation words correctly and she does not change into the Magical Princess.

Modoking attacks again and she attempts another transformation. Again, it does not work and she flees again only to set off another trap. Yakko saves her again.

Realizing what has been happening, Shiine grabs Riiya and races back to where they last saw Chacha. Chacha is still trying to transform, but the fakes keep messing up the transformation with the wrong words. Suddenly, the real Shiine and Riiya burst through the ceiling of the cavern, knocking a huge boulder on top of Modoking. The fakes escape and Chacha really transforms this time and blasts Modoking with a Beauty Selene Arrow, making him disappear in a flash of light. Just as they think everything is over, the Magical Princess steps on a piece of Modoking, transforming it into the Dark Princess. It summons a dark version of the Phoenix Sword, as well as a Bird Shield.

Meanwhile, Chacha and her friends come upon a narrow but very deep valley, and only way across (short of climbing down into the valley) is abridge which has been destroyed. They try several ways to cross it, but none of them work. Haideyansu and Yordas disguise themselves and "sell" a powered balloon to Chacha and friends for free. Partway across the valley, however, the balloon explodes and the fall into the valley, only to get caught on a very long log being held out by Riiya's grandfather. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking and a large man in armor, Garrok, who attacks Riiya's grandfather and almost takes him into the deep valley. He explains that Garrok was the designer and builder of the bridge, and when the Daimaō took over, Riiya's grandfather destroyed the bridge to allow Seravy to escape. The Daimaō used Garrok's sadness and turned him to the side of evil. Garrok, who had been collapsed on a ledge far below, is commanded by the Daimaō to destroy Chacha, so he jumps back to the top and slices off the remainder of the bridge where Chacha and her friends are standing, causing it to fall into the deep valley below. Riiya's grandfather jumps in after them, catches up to them, and protects them as they continue falling. The bottom of the valley is full of molten lava, though, and Chacha gets separated from the others which allows Garrok to attack her.

Dorothy is over for lunch at Seravy's again, and they check in on how their young charges are dong. As Chacha and friends travel through the creepy forest on the way to the castle, they come upon a crying woman. Shiine thinks there is something strange happening, but Chacha and Riiya want to help the woman. Right before they are about to give her the coins they have been collecting, Shiine notices she is a tanuki. Riiya changes into the wolf cub when he sees her tail, and she runs away in fright. While Dorothy and Seravy are discussing their progress, Haideyansu and Yordas are giving a pep talk to a group of tanuki, convincing them to keep trying even though Riiya can turn into a wolf. They also give the tanuki a spray which hides their scent so Riiya can not smell them. The tanuki then transform into a Goddess of Love Fountain, telling Chacha and her friends that they just need to throw in a coin to have their wish of love granted. The trick works and the tanuki are able to steal all the coins. Chacha and her friends chase after the tanuki and eventually catch up, so the tanuki merge into a giant version and attack. As Chacha and her friends run away, they escape down a hole in the ground. The tanuki try to smoke them out, but they just go deeper into the hole and find a hidden chamber with murals about the ancient fight with the demons led by Queen Joan I.

Marin and Orin hide so he can not hurt them, but Yakko uses her Sun Potion to blind him. Orin then attacks him with fire bombs, Marin attacks him with sea urchins, and Yakko uses her Most Ugly Face potion. Finally, they all scream, "You're the ugliest!" and defeat him. The Daimaō tells Haideyansu and Yordas that every minion who is defeated only adds to his personal power.

Riiya and Shiine distract him long enough for Chacha to launch a Burning Kris attack powered by all of the Eight Holy Warriors, which defeats the Daimaō in a huge flash seen for miles across the land. Afterward, everyone is congratulating each other when the Princess Medallion begins to glow and the gem floats out and down to the floor, where it duplicates and shoots out a burst of smoke. When the smoke dissipates, King Genius (Chacha's grandfather) is standing there.
