Shugo Chara - 04


Hmm, this episode wasn’t as fun as the previous ones. It also alerted me of one major flaw in this series: why the heck is Amu the only one who can transform?! In this episode, we saw another kid’s evil egg hatching, though Amu is the only one who tries to stop it, despite the fact that the student council has many chances to do so before she gets there. Why didn’t they transform to their powerful form, just like Amu does?

This episode also introduces the main villain for this series, who cleverly disguises himself as a clumsy teacher, in order to get as much access to down-hearted children as possible. Makes sense. The girl for this episode was someone who was about to be transferred to America, and got scared because of this. Because of this, her evil egg hatched and a strange black Shugo Chara started attacking everyone with very, very, very bad Engrish.

It’s not really the best of all stories, and it felt rather mundane to me, though I guess it serves as a nice build-up. One thing I did like was the scene between Amu and Neko-guy, when he tried to pay her back for the cake he smashed in the previous episode. There’s some funny chemistry between the two of them.

  1. That’s cause none of them can actually transform except for her.

  3. Apparently, they can have “Chara-changes”, but they can’t actually transform. I do hope that there’s some explanation for this on the way, though.

  7. they cannot transform because they are not powerful enough or something. And they need the humpty lock in order to transform too.
    + they can only change cannot totally transform.

  13. others transform. when cat-boy transforms he gets cat ears and a tail. and when that evil girl Uata or something transforms she gets bat wings. and when that prince guy transforms he gets a crown above his head.
