She is NOT Lapis lazuli
She disappeared in a small water puddle with a magic pearl.
Source : Fantaman episode 20 (Italian)
This is an old anime about a “ghost superhero from Atlantis“. The whole list is on Youtube.
(That face when you discover you come from an old anime)
ok, but look what appear in the first episode of Fantaman: a fucking flying hand. Rebecca, we see you
Flying hand
So, I guess now we know who she used to be.
Omg
*Italian gasp!* OAO
I REMEMBER THIS ANIME, IT’S FROM THE 70S, BUT THEY USED TO AIR THE RERUNS DURING THE EARLY 90S! GIVE ME SOME MINUTE TO WATCH THIS EPISODE, IF THERE’S SOMETHING INTERESTING I’LL TRANSLATE!
Omg it was so cute and dumb, it was a wild ride! XD
Context There are four main characters: Dr. Steele, the good scientist; Terry (his son); Gaby (his assistant); Maria (his deceased friend’s daughter). Maria is the girl with a pure heart who can invoke Fantaman, an ancient guardian of Atlantis, who keeps the team out of troubles like a superhero. The five of them are opposed to Dr. Zero, an evil scientist who wants to conquer the world.
This is a two episodes arc. In the first episode, an old man is fleeing from a group of bad guys. He meets Gaby and shoves a Magic Pearl into his shopping bag, then faints. Gaby distracts the bad guys, and takes the old man to Dr. Steele’s home. The bad guys got some Miraculous Pens, given to them by Dr. Zero, that can disguise them as anything, so they pretend to be policemen who want to arrest Gaby; but a lightning brakes the Magic Pens, and they have to retreat. They go back to report to Dr. Zero, and Dagon (the bad guys’ leader) tells his backstory: he’s an amphibious creature from the underwater City of The Eternal Flame, dominated by the evil queen Lapis Penny with the power of the Magic Pearl (which can be used to control any living being). Gavon wanted to dethrone her because “she doesn’t look like us”, and Dr. Zero offered to help him with his plan and to make him king. In exchange, Dr. Zero wanted the Magic Pearl, so he could use it to conquer the world. Gavon and his henchmen were going to steal the Magic Pearl, but “an old geologist who happened to wander in our city” [ROTFL] found it first, and took it with him to keep it safe. Back to Dr. Steele’s home. The old geologist is still unconscious (“He was covered in seaweeds!” “Where did he come from?” “Surely from the sea!”) [ROTFL x2], Gaby finds the Magic Pearl into the shopping bag and Dr. Steele recognizes it. Gavon uses the Miraculous Pen to enlarge a millipede and send it into the house, to make the team escape through the windows into a giant spider’s web. Maria calls Fantaman, he saves the team, kills Gavon and destroys the Miracolous Pen. We discover that queen Lapis Penny was lurking from behind the corner the whole time, she uses another Miracolous Pen to create a giant vacuum cleaner and uses it to capture Terry, Maria and Fantaman. Fantaman takes control of the vacuum cleaner and captures Lapis Penny. She explains Dr. Zero’s plan, and she says that the Magic Pearl is too dangerous when it’s not kept near the Eternal Flame; then she escapes diving into a near puddle.
The second episode is quite a mess O.o" Terry and Gaby are driving back home, but they are suddenly blocked by a group of “Sigmanians” (they look completely different, but they are still the amphibious creatures from the episode before). After a quick fight, the Sigmanians kidnap Terry [WHY???] and flee inside a nearby puddle; Gaby tells this to Dr. Steele, who follows into the puddle with Maria and Gaby to rescue his son. The puddle is a magic portal to the City of The Eternal Flame: here Gaby saves a girl named Agarit who fell under a wall, then the team hears a fighting going on and hides inside a near car’s hood. From their refuge, they see Gorgo (Dr. Zero’s assistant) stealing the Magic Pearl (now called “Cobalt 70”), using a gun that turns the soldiers into fishes. Queen Lapis Penny appears, and she explains to her soldiers that without the Cobalt 70 the Eternal Flame will die, and the city will freeze to death. Then she orders her soldier to bring Dr. Zero’s car to the main plaza: here she finds Dr. Steele, Maria and Gaby, and shows them Terry, who is tied to a high rope. Dr. Steele says they have nothing to do with the thieves sent by Dr. Zero, but Lapis Penny says that “humans disturbed the peace, but at least they will die before we do!” and orders to kill them all, starting from Terry. The soldiers are going to shoot to the rope and make Terry smash to the ground. Maria calls Fantaman, and he appears to save Terry and the others. Suddenly Dr. Zero appears to recover Gorgo and the Cobalt 70, but Terry steals it from them and the team escapes. Soon they find Agarit again, and she brings them to the magic puddle to go back home. Terry gives the Cobalt 70 to Agarit, she places it back into the Eternal Flame, then the team goes back home. Dr. Steele says that all the puddle warps are sealed now, and there’s a “was it a dream?” moment.
Thank you!!!
GOD BLESS THIS UTTER MESS OF A SHOW
