Episode 14: Nanbaka Is a Comedy Anime.

## Nanbaka Is a Comedy Anime.

**Nanbaka is a Comedy Anime** (ナンバカはギャグアニメである *Nanbaka wa Gyagu Anime de Aru*) is the first episode of Season 2 of the Nanbaka anime and the fourteenth episode overall.

## Synopsis

Jyugo makes a routinely escape attempt and is caught by Hajime while he's napping in the Guard's room with Kuu. All the inmates and guards seem to be going through a typical and ordinary day, much to the chagrin of Mitsuru Hitokoe, who wants something exciting to happen during Part 2 of the anime.

## Summary⁷

While Mitsuru reviews the purpose of Nanba Prison, Jyugo is caught out of his cell by Hajime who forcibly returns him into custody after a brief argument. Meanwhile, Momoko ponders how to greet Hajime; she then beats up Mitsuru after he teases her once again, causing Hajime to retreat in fear the instance he arrives. Back in building thirteen, Seitarou acquires a robot vaccum cleaner to make his job easier only for it to be quickly destroyed by an irritated Hajime. As Mitsuru wonders if anything exciting is going to occur, Qi and Upa argue over who should be allowed to water the cactus Upa recently recieved from his family, much to Liang's bemusement.

In building thirteen's game room, Honey recognises Tsukumo as the actor from *Ninja Kamikaze*. As he gushes over the series with Trois, Tsukumo discusses his career with Jyugo and eventually agrees to give Honey his autograph in exchange for his silence. Elsewhere, Mitsuru tries to pursuade Kenshirou to spend a large amount of money on a doll of Momoko and Kiji begins nagging the other guards in the staff room. Cell thirteen continue a quiet routine, commenting on the peacefulness of it. Meanwhile, Hajime appears to have found something suspicious but it is merely his cat, Kuu. He explains to Seitarou that he found the cat and began keeping at work as pets aren't permitted at his home. Rock gets his hands on Kuu in order to play with him, but his presence triggers one of Nico's illnesses which leaves Jyugo with a cat-like disfigurement.

In Momoko's office, Kenshirou becomes jealous of Samon for recieving affection from her. Musashi picks up on his feelings while Kenshirou laments his situation in the underground cell, and attempts to give him relationship advice. Elsewhere, in building five, Liang prepares to spar with Samon only for them to both end up beating Inori for slacking, with Yamato commenting on Inori's subsequent injuries.

Meanwhile, Jyugo is treated by Okina who then notes that Nico is coming down with yet another disease.‌ Uno instantly tries to make Jyugo see what the disease is and initially believe all is fine, only to later find they have switched hair colours, as have the rest of the guards and inmates, leading to moderate chaos throughout the prison.
