Key Events

A giant Turbo Granny head blocks both tunnel mouths and shreds Momo's psychic bats. When the spirit restores Okarun's genitals to neutralize him, Momo provokes a tag contest, exploiting the spirit's pride in her own speed. Turbo Granny cheats by counting strangely, captures Momo, and fully possesses Okarun after he bites her in desperation. Recalling Seiko's lesson on touch, Momo squeezes the spirit's aura until it is sealed inside Okarun. The earthbound spirit crab then bursts out to rescue Turbo Granny, sending the pair fleeing. Okarun carries Momo at cursed speed, and she slows the crab by dropping a hot-water pipe onto it, knowing heat stiffens crab muscle.

Notes

Cornered by possessed townspeople, Momo latches her psychokinesis onto a passing train, luring the now-merged Turbo Granny crab onto rails Seiko had rigged toward Kamikoshi City, where it is exorcised. Schoolgirl spirits emerge from the crab, and Seiko later explains the tunnel was a murder site whose victims Turbo Granny had been comforting. The episode closes warmly, with Momo replacing her goodbye to Okarun with a promise to see him the next day. It adapts Chapter 5 through Chapter 8 within the Turbo Granny Arc.
