Muddy Love (泥んこの恋 Doronko no Koi) is the ninth episode of Choujin Sentai Jetman. It introduces Satsuki, a friend of Raita Oishi.
Synopsis
A friendly girl from Raita's home shocks him when she tries to act sophisticated in the city as Tran changes people with a fashion Dimension Beast.
Plot
In the darkness of night at a department store, Tran places a bio-changer on a sewing machine. A security guard, attracted by the sound comes in but sees nothing. Suddenly the sewing machine gathers material together and constructs a suit which it magically places on him. He stands almost mannequin-like dressed as a mafia hit-man, before he begins shooting the mannequins.
The team comes in to find Raita loading his hair up with mousse, with Ryu slapping Raita on the back of his head for applying too much mousse. Gai remarks on the picture of a pretty high-school girl. This is Raita's childhood friend, Satsuki. Now that she has finished high school, she is coming to meet him here in Tokyo. They haven't seen each other since they were little children, but she always cheered him on. He remembers the last time he saw her: he was in an obstacle race. He was keeping up rather nicely with the slimmer more fit children when they reached the muddy rice-paddy being used for the race. Determined to win, Raita hopped through the mud like a frog, ending the race covered from head to toe but with Satsuki's enthusiastic encouragement and everyone's applause ringing in his ears.
When they meet, though, he is dumbfounded. She is dressed in a slinky green mini-dress and has put sexy make-up on. She proceeds to drag him around Tokyo, following all the suggestions in the "Tokyo Date Book" and driving him half-crazy.
The others find themselves fighting people dressed as ninjas and pirates. They are unable to fight effectively as they cannot hurt innocent civilians under the Bairamu's control. When Ryu thinks to summon Raita to help, Gai demands that he not. "He needs this time, let him enjoy being with Satsuki." Ryu concedes and they continue to do the best they can.
A young businessman buys Satsuki a drink. Trying to be sophisticated she takes a sip and finds the taste nauseating. Raita takes her to a fountain to steady her, and in frustration tells her he doesn't like this person she is dressed up as. This is not the girl he's exchanged letters with all this time. She runs off, sobbing in the rain. She had done all this, trying to look sophisticated and less the country bumpkin. She runs into Tran and his Fashion-monster, who turn her into a sniper and set her to attacking the Jetmen.
Raita, recognizing her, faces her by himself. In his Yellow-Owl clothing, he leapfrogs through mud-puddles and this childhood memory breaks through the spell of the Bairamu. She falls unconscious and Raita gathers her in his arms. Tran is astounded that she broke free of his spell. Raita tells him that the human heart is stronger than his evil magic.
They defeat the Fashion-Monster, and Raita sees Satsuki off to the train home. She has changed into a dress that is cheerfully yellow and has no makeup. She tells him she is wearing yellow because she loves Yellow Owl, meaning of course that she loves Raita. He waves madly, running alongside the train until he cannot do so anymore.
