**The Fuzzy Pony** is the third episode of season 2 of the Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles tv series.

## Summary

Hana visits the group at Gen's mansion and plays with, Spot, Kiyoko, and O-Dokuro. When Usagi plays with Kiyoko, he mentions that the day Kitsune found Kiyoko in the tunnel, it was his birthday and proposes they have a joint birthday party with her. Kitsune loves the idea and admits that she never had a birthday party, knew who her parents were, and when she was born. Upon learning this, Usagi and Gen plot to give Kitsune the best birthday "ever". As Chizu watches Hana gleefully play, Kitsune notices how glum she looks and asks her what's wrong. Chizu brushes it off as nothing and walks off, which prompts Kitsune to follow her.

Just outside the Neko Ninja HQ, Chizu plans to rescue the remaining orphans from the Neko Ninjas, and Kitsune insists on helping her. On the streets of Neo Edo, Usagi, Gen, and Spot search for a venue to hold Kitsune's party; however, all of the places that Usagi suggests are more suited for him or Chizu. Speaking of Chizu, Kitsune and her manage to infiltrate the Neko Ninja HQ with the help of their Kaikishi weapons. On Usagi's side, Gen suggests the birthday venue for Kitsune's party be the Super Ultra Cute Café. However, Usagi isn't impressed by it, so Gen takes him to an even "better" and "cuter" place where they do a photo op. Although Usagi likes the place, Gen thinks they'll need someplace else that's even cuter.

Meanwhile, Lady Fuwa watches over the training of her ninja trainees; when some noises she believes are pigeons disturb her leaves to deal with them. Falling into the scene, Kitsune and Chizu tell the trainees they're there to rescue them; however, they don't believe them and think it's another loyalty test from Lady Fuwa. They also don't want to suffer the same fate as Ryoko and decide to attack them until Lady Fuwa returns and requests that the trainees leave them as she handles the intruders. Before Lady Fuwa has both Chizu and Kitsune disposed of, Chizu invokes the right to challenge Lady Fuwa for the leadership of the Neko Ninjas. Despite Lady Fuwa's initial refusal, she accepts, and Chizu then explains the challenge's rules to Kitsune.

Switching over to Usagi's side, Gen and Usagi try out a trampoline place, and although Usagi likes the place, Gen thinks they will find a better place. Back to Chizu's side, the arena for her fight against Lady Fuwa is set up, and once both sides relinquish their weapons, they begin their match. At a karaoke place, the last possible place that could be Kitsune's birthday party venue, Gen and Usagi do some karaoke and midway, joined by Chikabuma. When they're finished, a worker approaches them and hands them a café pamphlet, which Gen is interested in the place's birthday special. After hearing the package details from the worker, Gen chooses the place as the venue to hold Kitsune's birthday party.

The fight between Chizu and Lady Fuwa continues, and Lady Fuwa cheats by pulling out a hidden kunai. However, Chizu still holds her into submission, making Lady Fuwa yield allowing her to win. When asked what to do with Lady Fuwa, Chizu expels her from the place. She then informs Kitsune that she needs to stay there so she can lead the Neko Ninja Tribe and enforces the new rules on her new subjects, making a few leaves under her allowance.

Afterward, Kitsune regroups with Usagi's group, where they surprise her with a birthday party. However, Usagi's group is perplexed that Kitsune isn't happy about this; she then informs the group about Chizu becoming the leader of the Neko Ninja Tribe after defeating Lady Fuwa. To cheer Kitsune up, Ohayou Pony arrives and sings a song for Kitsune, but it doesn't raise her spirits until it's revealed that Chizu was Ohayou Pony in disguise. Overjoyed by this revelation, Kitsune's birthday commences, and deep down in the tunnels, three Warbotto locate an orb that resembles Kiyoko.
