Long Summary
During lunch, Taka speaks about Justice Knight with his mouth full. Ryuu, holding a cup and napkin, tells Taka not to speak with food in his mouth. Kazuma excitedly says that he and Takuma watch Justice Knight together. Takuma and Kazuma start spitting out rice as they talk with food in their mouths while Kirin announces that she can talk because she has finished her food. Ryuu attempts to look after all the children as Usaida feeds Midori and comments that the children are noisy as always. Usaida tells Ryuu that his phone is ringing, and Ryuu checks his phone to see a text from Kousuke. In the text, Kousuke instructs Ryuu to come out to the school gate without telling the children, confusing Ryuu. At the school gate, Ryuu does not see Kousuke, but Kousuke quickly jumps out of the bushes, shocking Ryuu. Kousuke informs Ryuu that he called him over because of a character that he is portraying. A couple months ago, Kokubo assigned Kousuke a special villain role. Kousuke protests, saying that he is willing to play any role, but not this one because Takuma and Kazuma will definitely hate him. Kokubo tells him that he has always been helping Kousuke, as he helped tutor him during high school and encouraged him to confess to the girl he liked. Kousuke cries as he admits that Kokubo was the one who has helped him this entire time. Kokubo glares at him and orders him to play the role for the sake of the company and his salary. In the present, Ryuu panics, asking if Kousuke even wanted to become an actor in the first place, as it seems that he is being forced into everything. Kousuke assures him that Kokubo is looking out for him, even though he seemes mean. Kousuke says that he is working hard as an actor but cannot stop thinking about Takuma and Kazuma's reactions to the broadcast. Ryuu asks what show it is, and Kousuke replies that it is Absolute Justice Knight, and Ryuu remembers what the children were talking about during lunch. Kousuke cries and begs Ryuu to take the children hiking during the broadcast time so that they do not witness him acting as a villain. Ryuu understands and resolves to help. Meanwhile, Hayato is jogging and sees that Kousuke is crying again. That Sunday, Ryuu brings the children on a hike, and the children missed the broadcast as Kousuke and Ryuu had planned. The next week, Ryuu and Kotaro sit at the television together, and Ryuu remembers that Kousuke had said that they can watch the rest of the episodes. However, the episode that the children were supposed to miss out on is broadcasted with a note that says that last week's broadcast had been canceled. Ryuu panics as Kotaro begins watching the episode. Kotaro watches Kousuke, acting as Boidocchi, hurt a bird, and is dismayed to see the bird fall lifelessly to the ground. Kirin, Takuma, Kazuma, and Taka watch in horror as Kousuke kicks Justice Knight off a cliff. Takuma and Kazuma freeze in place as Taka clings onto his brother's hoodie. The narrator announces that Justice Knight has been kicked into the ocean, and Kotaro is horrified over the death of the bird. In the styling room, Kousuke's stylist compliments his acting and informs him of the broadcast cancellation and episode replay. Kousuke, aghast, looks at his phone and reads a text from Umi, who apologizes and shows him a picture of Takuma and Kazuma's reaction to the episode. He immediately calls Umi, but Takuma and Kazuma snatch the phone away from Umi and hang up, denying that he is their father. Kokubo drags a sobbing Kousuke out of the styling room. The next day, Usaida asks what happened in the next Justice Knight episode, causing the children to freeze. Ryuu scolds him, saying that the children had just forgotten about it and were playing peacefully. Taka tears up and buries his head into Ryuu. He then turns to Takuma and Kazuma, saying that the person who kicked Justice Knight is their father, but the twins insist that he is not. Kirin theorizes that Kousuke's soul has been swapped with that of a villain's. The children resolve to destroy Boidocchi and save Kousuke. Hayato walks towards the daycare center and sees that Kousuke is sobbing as he watches the children from the outside. He opens the door and pushes Kousuke into the room, telling Takuma and Kazuma that he is here to pick them up. Kousuke and the children stare at each other, and Kousuke takes off his hat. He then matches with the atmosphere and introduces himself as Boidocchi. He allows the children to attack him and decides that he has to act defeated in order to satisfy the children. Usaida notes that the children will have to hit him after every episode, and Kousuke collapses in defeat. The children proudly announce that they have defeated Boidocchi. Takuma and Kazuma tear up as they call for their father when Asahi, who plays Justice Knight, appears through the window. The children cry tears of joy at the sight of Justice Knight, and Kousuke lifts his head. Takuma and Kazuma cry out for their father, and Kousuke says that he is alright now. Asahi explains that he came because Kokubo asked him to come help with something, and Kokubo enters the daycare center. Asahi compliments the twins and takes pictures of them. Asahi puts his hand on Kousuke's shoulder and assures the children that even if he is kicked off a cliff, he will always respect Kousuke. He is worried about shattering the children's dreams of a courageous hero when he sees that they are not moving. Asahi starts acting as Justice Knight and promises the children that he will return to the battlefield. The children's eyes sparkle, and Asahi and Kokubo leave the room. The children, except for Kotaro, sit solemnly and silently in a circle. They decide that they do not wish to watch the episodes, and Taka announces that Justice Knight defeated all the monsters. Later, Asahi and Kousuke arrive together, and Asahi introduces the two as Justice Knight and Boidocchi, but the children ignore him and the twins call out to their father. They tell their father that Boidocchi looked really cool, and Kousuke accepts the compliment, but the twins clarify that they are talking about Boidocchi, not Kousuke. Meanwhile, Asahi eats Kirin's cookies.
