[edit] Episodes With Summaries

  • Japanese Version

[edit] In The Beginning

Genki is a young boy who earns a game in the mail. He decides to play it right away. Once he plays, though, he is sucked into the world of Monster Rancher (Monster Farm in Japan). He must find out how to defeat the evil Moo. This is the first chapter in his epic quest.

[edit] Hare's Trick

The heroes go to a town, short on money. They find out about a local tournament. Tiger volunteers to enter. When Tiger enters, he defeats everyone he fights. His final battle is against Hare. Tiger pins down Hare. Hare begs Tiger not to hurt him, but Tiger replies "I'm only in this for the money, I don't want to hurt you." Tiger turns away from Hare for a second, but as this happens Hare punches Tiger. Tiger eventually recovers from being hit, and attempts to fight Hare. Hare, being an opportunistic fighter, turned around so his back faced Tiger and grinned. At first you don't know what he's grinning about, and then Hare sticks his butt toward Tiger's face. Next, Hare undergoes flatulence. This is his powerful Gas attack. When he uses Gas, he undergoes a horrible smelling flatulence (though Gas is cut out in the American version). Hare's gas immediately knocked out Tiger and audience members. Hare is the victor and earns the first place prize money, thanks to his incredible flatulence. Eventually Hare joins up with the group and gloats about winning and travels with them. Hare joins them and the group thinks he defeated Tiger only because of the tournament. However, Tiger believes Hare has another trick. Tiger eventually gets drunk from wine and Hare is gone in the morning with both the first AND second place prize money. Tiger finds Hare and Hare gives the group what is rightfully theirs. Hare joins the group for real this time and continues with them on the rest of the adventure. Apart from flatulence, he is an adept boxer and kicker.

[edit] The Courageous Seven

Genki and his friends happen upon a town beside a fast-flowing river. The towns people dammed the river but a group of evil hares that work for Moo damage the dam in order to drown Genki and his team. Luckily, Genki and his pals manage to save the day once again by helping the town build another dam just in the nick of time. This episode really works to show what Genki, Mocchi, Holly, Suezo, Tiger, Golem and Hare can accomplish when they work together. Viewers also get a look at Moo for the first time at the beginning of the episode (though he's draped in shadow) as well as the Big Bad Four, who work for Moo.

[edit] Iron Bird

Our heroes are on a flying machine called the Iron Bird. They are looking for a disk. The Bird is designed to fly over a canyon. However, during this time the Iron Bird malfunctions. Genki, Holly, Hare, Tiger and the others must try to keep it afloat. They Tiger can do nothing (but in the American version Tiger uses his Blizzard attack). Suezo can not do anything but cower in fear. Hare, as the smartest of the bunch, has a plan. His plan is to let loose by using Gas to keep the machine afloat. After a few seconds of flatulating, the machine is at proper altituede and the team continues their adventure.

[edit] The Ruins' Secret

After flying over Heaven's Canyon in an iron bird, the Searchers (searchers is what Moo and his henchman call Genki and his team) find the ruins of an ancient city. The ruins and the surrounding area are ruled by Pixie, one of Moo's Big Bad Four. With her companion Big Blue and an army of baddies, Pixie forces humans to dig up mystery disks for Moo. The Searchers try to free all of the humans but are captured by Pixie. At the end of the episode Genki socks Pixie right in the face when her guard is down. Enfuriated, Pixie tosses Genki and Mocchi off a nearby cliff then takes the rest of the Searchers away in bondage. Is this the end for Genki and Mocchi?

One of the more popular characters from the series, Pixie is very powerful. In this episode Pixie has a confident, laid-back bad girl attitude until Genki decides to takes a swing at her, revealing a fuming temper driven by pride in her abilities.

[edit] Pixie's Defeat

After barely surviving Pixie's attack, Genki and Mocchi head off to find their friends and save them from Pixie. Meanwhile, Pixie is having second thoughts about her current life as one of Moo's servants because of the dishonest and cruel things he requires of her. Those thoughts, however, don't stop her from capturing Mocchi while Genki frees the other Searchers and the humans from Pixie's vast prison. Genki tries to reason with Pixie, explaining that she shouldn't be so cruel and that she doesn't need to be enemies with the Searchers. Pixie tells Genki and company to spare her the melodrama; she was imprisoned by humans in her younger days along with other monsters and was forced to work in the ruins just as the humans do under her rule, which she gained after she and her fellow monsters revolted against their human masters. Despite Genki's wise words, Pixie orders her clays and usabas to attack the Searchers, which the Searchers promptly defeat with the help of the freed humans. The Searchers then face off against Pixie and her faithful companion Big Blue. Pixie proves to be one of the most powerful opponents the Searchers have ever faced, but they manage to fight her to stand still. Unfortunately, the ruins begin to collapse around them when one of Pixie's lightning blasts takes out a support beam in the ruins where they were fighting. Genki risks his on life to save Pixie as the ruins collapse. And the end of the episode, Pixie and Big Blue walk off into the sunset after Pixie thanks Genki for saving her life. Genki invites the pair to join the Searchers; but they decline, assuring Genki that he and his friends had better watch their step should the Searchers cross their path again.
