Run Rabbit Run

**Run Rabbit Run** is the fourth episode of the Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles tv series.

## Summary

Usagi and the group visit the hospital because of Gen. One of the nurses there asks him if his horn hurts, and he answers it doesn't; it's his eyebrows that he's more worried about. Before he's wheeled away by the nurses, Kitsune gives him a piece of friendship candy. She then offers one to Usagi, who accepts it, and then Chizu who has a flashback about when she was hiding from Lady Fuwa and is given a candy from her friend Kaiyo. Once Chizu and Kaiyo reconvene with the rest of their group, Lady Fuwa finds the candy Chizu had in her hand and figures out it was given to her by Kaiyo. Hence Lady Fuwa takes away Kaiyo so she can never be seen or heard from again.

Back in the present, Chizu accepts the candy and claims she'll enjoy it at a different time. Usagi then asks if they can get Gen a new horn, and Kitsune says that Neo Edo has everything, so it's possible to get him a prosthetic one. Instead of helping them, Chizu leaves to go and, what she says, purchase a new broom. However, she returned to her home base, where Lady Fuwa trained the next generation of Ninjas. Lady Fuwa then speaks to Chizu about how the appearance of the Yokai has compromised her plans and will have to speed up her dreams. Hence, Lady Fuwa orders Chizu to finally steal the Scroll of Secrets, which is something that will allow her to harness the Ki-stone's energy. Furthermore, Lady Fuwa imposes that Chizu better not disappoint her, and she responds that she won't and leaves.

Meanwhile, Usagi and Kitsune try and defend themselves against the common folk after a Newsbotto announces that Usagi is a wanted criminal. After they manage to throw their pursuers off their tail, Kitsune and Usagi hide at Gen's house to regroup, and en route, they're accosted by Chikabuma and his gang. Usagi briefly fights against Chikabuma with his swords, but eventually, Chikabuma and his gang use their Sonic Snaps to incapacitate Usagi and Kitsune.

Switching over to Chizu, she returns to the temple and tries to steal the Scroll of Secrets, but Tetsujin catches her and asks why she's there. Back to Usagi and Kitsune, they're wheeled on a wagon by the Mogura gang until Chizu shows up and has them released. To make matters worse, the Bat Squadron arrives, and the leader argues that the Mogura gang is collecting a bounty on their turf. Usagi clarifies the situation that Chikabuma was merely selling his sword to him, and Chikabuma gives Usagi his sword and leaves the scene. With Chikabuma gone, the Bat Squadron moves against Usagi and his group until Gen arrives and mediates the situation.

Riding on Chizu's Skycart, Gen implores Usagi to find a Sensei and like his Bargain Buchi. Before they arrive at Gen's home, they see that the place is surrounded by the Keisatsu, pulling them over. Down on the ground, Lord Kogane pulls appears before them and acts weirdly, which Usagi realizes a Hat Yokai possesses the Shogun. Usagi successfully negotiates with the Hat Yokai by following Gen's advice on knowing when and when not to fight. He then thanks Gen and apologizes to him for not being able to get him a new horn, but Tetsujin arrives and gives him one that he crafted.

Down in the underground, Chikabuma laments over how his crew will be considered "Third-rate" due to their recent fiascos. Kagehito then appears before them to enlist the moles to help him acquire a secret buried item.
