Puffy Stunts

Puffy Stunts is a 2016 animated short film based on the series Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. It was released on the DVD format of the 2016 film Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: The Reunion Movie. In the short, Ami and Yumi are substituted in for an absent stunt duo, only to cause a great amount of chaos.
== Plot ==
Musicians Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura finish their opening act for the daredevils Soren & Harden. However, upon hearing that the latter will not be able to show up in time due to a traffic jam outside of the city, manager Kaz Harada is worried that the audience will get angry and ask for refunds. But upon noticing that Ami and Yumi have similar looks to Soren & Harden, the two are then disguised to imitate them for the time-being.
When Ami and Yumi reveal themselves to the audience, disguised as Soren & Harden, they get boo'ed at, but the duo ignore their comments. Ami jumps first into a ring, with Yumi following behind. But upon hearing that Ami planted fireworks off the edge of the stage, Yumi loses her balance and nearly falls off, to which Ami catches her, but lets go under Yumi's request, instead opting to go around. Ami also loses her balance and falls off, accidentally knocking down the ring in the process. The audience boos at the two, calling them "cheap." A light tower blinds Ami and knocks down a candle, which sets the wooden foundations on fire, with Yumi still on it. However, this entertains the audience, who stay to watch what happens next.
Yumi is terrified of the current events, but Ami insists she'll catch her. Yumi, however, takes no chances, and jumps with all her might into the second ring, hanging on for dear life. The wooden structure collapses, and sets the ring's chains on fire, starting from the top. Yumi panics and jumps onto the next ring, just as the other ring falls to the ground, flinging a floorboard into Ami's face, wounding her. The fire reaches the roof of the stage, which also begins to set it on fire, including the chains of the rings, causing it to rain fire. Ami and Yumi receive burns due to the hot particles hitting their skin. Yumi lets go of the ring and falls to the stage. Kaz is embarassed by what he is watching.
Some of the particles set off the fuses of the fireworks, which begins burning. The fireworks whizz around, bursting in mid air. One of the fireworks pull Ami and Yumi off the stage and around the audience, who gasps in awe. The firework goes around the stage one last time before the two are shot in the air, over the audience, before landing on the stage again, but without the firework, which explodes after ripping through the stage's backdrop. After a few seconds of silence by the audience, they cheer at Ami and Yumi for risking their lives for the performance.
Kaz congratulates Ami and Yumi for keeping the audience entertained while Soren & Harden were absent. But to their surprise, it is revealed that Soren & Harden were watching the performance the whole time, saying that they called out just to see how they'd react. Ami and Yumi get angry and scold them for it as the short ends.
