Interdimensionals

**Interdimensionals** is the fifth episode of season 2 of the Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles tv series.

## Summary

Once again, Usagi with Spot tries to meditate, but it's interrupted by Karasu-Tengu, who faints onto him.

Inside Gen's mansion Karasu-Tengu warns Usagi and friends about O-Dokuro. Still, they reveal to her that O-Dokuro had been dealt with. It's corroborated when O-Dokuro rolls into the picture; Usagi and friends then bring Karasu-Tengu up to date with everything she's missed since last they met. Karasu-Tengu suggests that Usagi talk to the Ki-stone for answers.

At the Kaikishi Temple, Tetsujin restates how he's unable to communicate with the Ki-stone, but allows Usagi to go ahead and try anyway. When Usagi uses his Yo-yo, Kagehito exits the crystal and warns of the upcoming invasion; he also claims that he has partially recovered from his last encounter with the group. Although Usagi believed that they stopped the invasion from happening before, Kagehito states that it was a temporary delay. He also informs them that the Clavis is still trying to open up the portal way to the interdimensional gateway, and the Ki-stone is struggling to keep it closed. Within less than a week, Kagehito foretells that the Ki-stone will lose the fight against the Clavis and that the Makkine shall come. The Makkine are an advanced race of beings that conquered Kagehito's home planet called Unu, and once it was defeated, he was conscripted to open a portal to their world so they could conquer it. Feeling weak, Kagehito is taken to the Shibu doctors, but there's nothing they can do, so Kagehito is taken to Gen's mansion to rest with Karasu-Tengu and O-Dokuro. A bad idea by fault as the two Yokai there blame Kagehito for being sealed within the Ki-stone in the first place.

Following Kagehito's advice to search for allies to help them with the upcoming invasion, Kitsune promises to fill Chizu in so they can get the ninjas to help. Usagi plans on reaching out to the Mogura gang, and Tetsujin plans to build a giant robot. Eventually, Gen and Usagi head into the tunnels and get attacked by three members of the Mogura gang, only for Chikabuma to stop them and mention his gang's on edge because of a giant spider rumor. Led to the Mogura gang's hideout, Usagi negotiates with Chikabuma and his gang for their help with the upcoming invasion. Chikabuma agrees to help on the condition that Usagi can gain his and his gang's respect by completing a challenge that he instantly agrees to undertake. They're sequentially led down the ceremonial pit.

Meanwhile, Chizu tries to prepare the ninjas for the upcoming invasion, and Kitsune wheels in a cart full of Ohayo Pony hats and mochi for morale purposes. Fumiko also warns Chizu that Fuwa has started her ninja clan and worries that most of theirs will defect, which Chizu asks her to keep an eye out for any trouble, should it arise. On Usagi's side, the ceremonial trial is a staring contest against Chikabuma; elsewhere, a rogue ninja reports the current events to Fuwa, who immediately regrets it after she takes her mochi away. The staring contest continues, and for the second phase, Chikabuma's two cohorts Koji and Kenji help him try and distract Usagi by trying to distract him. To combat this, Usagi goes into a "deep meditative state", and the dull and dim-witted look on Usagi's face perturbs Chikabuma. Before the contest could continue any further, a giant spider appeared and incapacitated both Koji and Kenji, forcing Chikabuma to try and attack it. Soon Gen reluctantly joins the fight and, during it, snaps Usagi out of his trance. Awakened, Usagi recognizes the spider as the Yokai Tsuchigumo, and thanks to the help of Gen, he defeats it with his Yo-yo.

Afterward, Chikabuma announces to his gang that they recognize Usagi as their ally and agree to help him and his cause fighting in the upcoming invasion. Later, at Gen's mansion, Karasu-tengu, O-Dokuro, and Kagehito settle their differences with a game of Cho-han observed by Toshiko.
