Episode Synopsis Table

#	Episode Title	Premiere Air Date
1	"Straying Into A Dreamland" (Japanese: 迷いこんだ夢の国)	6 @ July 1984
The iconoclastic irony of the opening scene of a pensive Persia perched on the windowsill looking at her magical hairband while pondering her mission before the girl kappa Puri-Puri is awakened by the reflected moonlight and tries to stop Persia only for the three protesting kappa to end up in Persia's embrace becomes the forum for a diurnal flashback in Africa of the moment when Gouken Mouri drives up in a jeep with his twin grandsons Gaku and Riki with a zero-hour proclamation for their flight to Japan; it is at this moment that Persia makes her aversion for a modern life quite clear with her preference to run to the airport before her leonine best friend Simba hefts her onto his back while running alongside the jeep. Gaku and Riki comparing notes about their perspectives of Persia's acclimation prospects while Gouken tries to convince Persia to forego the leopard skin quickly yields to a very sentimental parting sequence between Persia and Simba before the former boards the airliner which flies into what she thinks will be a boring flight -- if not for the airliner breaching into the Lovely Dream where she encounters three kappa: Meso-Meso, Puri-Puri, and Gera-Gera. After she releases a couple of dreams that are quickly frozen, Gera-Gera and the Fairy Queen explain Persia the prologue of the Lovely Dream and the top-secret quest necessary for its renaissance before directing Persia through how to use her new powers. While riding the train from the airport, Persia's inquiries make for some crass comedy that quickly evaporates when the train takes Persia to the next station -- much to everybody's dismay. Persia has quite an adventure as she tries to make her way to her parents' home only to find that she ultimately has no idea where it is -- a crucial contingency deviant diagnostic that the three kappa think Persia can conquer with her magic; after the three kappa lead her through the applicable command lines, Persia successfully performs her first henshin into a police officer which becomes the forum for a sentimental reunion with Gaku and Riki -- along with several doubts that night about what love energy is and how to collect it.
2	"The Lion That Became A Cat" (Japanese: 猫になったライオン)	13 @ July 1984
After the adventure of Persia being flown to Japan charged with love energy accumulation and the orienteering necessary to find the Persia Store where a very worried Hideki and Kumi Hayama were expecting her to arrive safe and sound with Gouken, one would think that a peaceful morning would follow -- which does occur for the most part. The only fly in the ointment is Persia's zeal for celebrating every sunrise being so great that she thinks nothing of making the choice for those near and dear to her to share in the euphoria; after Hideki and Kumi dismiss her, Persia sets course for Mouri-ke to offer the same overture to Gaku and Riki who are not thrilled at Gouken charging them guidance around the neighborhood. Dejected that Gaku and Riki have set course for their extra-curricular activities due to having a bellyful of her antics, Persia finds Hideki and Kumi having bootstrapped themselves for their workday but no more receptive to paying her any attention than they were earlier; coming upon a television documentary of her African childhood home, Persia gets homesick until a sympathetic Meso-Meso suggests using magic to transmit herself through the television to Africa over Gera-Gera's objections which are rendered moot when he is dragged along for the ride. In her zeal to visit her old friend Simba, Persia makes a speed bump of another lion that has no qualms about showing its »What the hell are you doing!?!« displeasure as it closes in for the kill; unfortunately for Persia who is overjoyed to have safely made it back with Gera-Gera, taking responsibility for a full grown lion panicked over new foreign surroundings like the living room above a public grocery store is easier said than done when the whole circus leaves a huge mess! If that is not enough, Persia's exhortation of Hideki and Kumi to stay above-ground in housing Simba with her ultimately ignites another circus in which the panicked Simba runs away when he sees what else Persia has done; while locating Simba is easy with Riki's ill-tempered girlfriend Sayo Mitomo helping the Mouri brothers, it takes some smooth talking to convince Persia to give Hideki and Kumi another chance.
3	"Welcome Fugitive" (Japanese: ようこそ脱走犯 )	20 @ July 1984
Dejected that she cannot accompany her parents, Persia returns home to find that it is far easier to enter the house than it should be oblivious to the huge red flag it represents -- the escaped prisoner Gohei Kumasaka having decided upon the Persia Market as an excellent hideout. An exhibition of punitive acrobatics later, Gohei realizes that his intimidation efforts have been nullified and that his best bet is to persuade Persia to help him. Even with Gaku and Riki dividing their energies between rescuing Persia and summoning the police, Persia herself is happily going with the flow much to Gohei's frustration which awakens Simba from a sound sleep; the arrival of the police and the huge circus the media makes of the situation quickly brings things to a head when Gohei tries to shoot Persia only for the girl to playfully expend all the ammunition and play a sort of knife game with him. As has been previously demonstrated, Persia brings the matter to a close by availing her magic -- this time to assume the form of a professional race car driver -- to lead the police on a lengthy chase through the city that ultimately drives home the lesson to Gohei that some hostages are more troublesome than others and that a successful escape can have far worse consequences than being confined in jail.
4	"Kiss is love A.B.C." (Japanese: キスは恋のＡＢＣ)	27 @ July 1984
Going from roaming the African plains alongside the indigenous animals to walking the urban streets of a Japanese port town is neither an easy or insignificant transition for Persia to make in her mind as the dream of Persia barely getting to enjoy Gaku and Riki as her new husbands before Simba wrecks things clearly depicts; while the three kappa compare notes about whether their duty is worth their safety when Persia is panicked from oversleeping, Yoyoko Manabe decides to introduce herself with an admonition to choose either Gaku or Riki and even has an apparatus to that end for Persia to avail. During a snapshot of both Gaku and Riki's extra-curricular activities, Sayo Mitomo prosecutes a divergent concourse with Riki while Simba admonishes against complying Yoyoko's advice; anguished about the adversarial divergent concourse between Gaku and Riki her failed attempt has caused, Persia tries divining her fortune by plucking flower petals before the three kappa cry foul at their sleep being interrupted. Gouken's house becomes the forum where Persia and Yoyoko create an absolute circus when they try to kiss both Gaku and Riki to see which one sneezes soon thereafter; fortunately, once he has the situation explained to him, Gouken takes the whole hullabaloo in stride and introduces Yoyoko along with Kishin Shinokawa and Touta Fuyuki as Persia's new classmates. As has been previously demonstrated, Persia tries to resolve the confusion of Kumi and Hideki choking up when inquired their first kiss by availing her magic -- this time to assume the form of a wind surfer and a princess -- to enter the Mouri brothers' dreams and see if her adolescent alter ego ultimately makes any difference only to see for herself that superstition and coincidence do nothing to determine compatibility between two people.
5	"Ultimate Champion" (Japanese: 必殺！チャンピオン)	3 @ August 1984
Even though she often does it to her boyfriend Riki to demonstrate her displeasure with him, Sayo is not thrilled with the idea of witnessing a women's wrestling match as a euphoric nocturnal engagement or welcoming of any outside objective perspective of her unreasonable conduct as she delivers Persia a »Stay the hell out of my way if you know what's good for you, kid!!!« repulsion for trying to make peace; while Sayo continues her tantrum, Gaku explains the confused and frightened Persia his perspective of the social circumstances between Riki and Sayo. The tag-team wrestling match that is Sayo's divergent concourse with Riki becomes the forum for Persia to happen upon a situation where an imported intervention is exactly what the doctor ordered when Fujiwara Andre becomes frustrated that her partner and childhood friend Maeda Oscar garners the glory from her doing all the dirty work. Persia soon finds that successfully locating the two quarreling wrestlers is the least of her worries even with the »Stay out of this!!!« door slam to the face when the anguished Maeda races past her and Fujiwara is not keen on heeding her hysterical demands for reconciliation. The ensuing stalemate after the brawl whose destructive collateral damage becomes the genesis of Fujiwara understanding Persia's feelings tempered by reality that the adversarial divergent concourse has a far lengthier and complex prologue than meets the eye; in the wrestling world, the only way forward is for Maeda to find the confidence within herself to take responsibility for living her own life by conquering a difficult opponent. Kumi and Hideki's dismay at their house suffering over Persia's learning curve is quite tame compared to Maeda finding to her horror that she now has to fight her own battles when Fujiwara is injured. As has been previously demonstrated, Persia ultimately finds it child's play to give Maeda a run for her money once Gera-Gera explains that the magic will automatically »fill in the blanks« according to the situation once Persia has a working concept of what is needed firmly in mind; still in this case, it does raise the question of whether Persia did her job too well considering her injuries.
6	"The Pearl Oyster Romance" (Japanese: 真珠貝のロマンスref name="Kanji Title Genesis"/>)	10 @ August 1984
Even though she has already seen it from a distance considering where her new hometown is located, being driven across the sea is the absolute seventh heaven for Persia whose excitement frightens Gaku and Riki with the very real prospect of Persia falling overboard before Gouken comes on deck to announce the imminent arrival to an island where a recently-released dolphin named Silver has taken to loitering away its time prior to explaining Persia its angst-laden prologue involving an infirm young girl named Minami who detected the onset of a growing and gathering deviant diagnostic within the dolphin; after the politics are polarized for its resolution, Minami spends her first and only night outside the hospital with the dolphin. Unfortunately for Mouri-ke, Persia reads the tragic conclusion of the story as a tacit endorsement to compose a euphoric epilogue of her own when she sets course for the Evil Fang whirlpool where her oblivious proximity would have drowned her if not for Silver to whom Persia intends to render the choice opportunity to interpret Minami's tragic conclusion; while Gaku and Riki are gradually realizing the danger she is in prior to Gouken's objurgation, Persia consoles the distraught Silver into setting course once again to Evil Fang at whose nethermost point Minami is dormant -- a dangerous task of far greater difficulty than meets the eye. As has been previously demonstrated, Persia is compelled to ultimately avail her magic -- this time to assume the form of a mermaid -- when Silver continually takes damage without making any headway; unfortunately for Persia, Minami awakening from her long dormancy to a long-awaited reunion with Silver who collaboratively show off the fruit of her efforts is not enough to extinguish Gaku's frustration at her cavalier disregard for her personal safety.
