(Auszug aus einer e-mail von Ken Arromdee(arromdee@inetnow.net)an die Cutey Honey-ML vom 23.03.98 mit Inhaltsbeschreibungen von einzelnen CHF-Folgen.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Folge 34: (20.12.97) "Hanii ai no sentaku! Seiji vs. purinsu."
("Honeys Wahl der Liebe! Seiji gegen den Prinzen.") -- Episode 34: Flashback to episode 33 (which I don't have), showing the Twilight Prince bringing Honey Seiji's unconscious body in a spacesuit in space. (I assume 33; the preview at the end of 32 showed them in space.) The episode claims to be Seiji vs. the Prince, but it's not. Honey and the Twilight Prince are talking. He's explaining something about the Panther Claw. I need someone to translate this; is he saying that Honey really belongs with the Panther Claw? That the Panther Claw can't be fought? I can't tell. Sister Jill gets angry at her henchwoman (doesn't seem to be a youma), who's light blue with light blue hair and wears a red lens over one eye. (Is she from the original series?) She'll give her one last chance. I'm not sure what her name is, but Honey calls her something like "Fraidy Claw". Scene at school, showing the second teacher fondling her own breasts (don't ask me why). Everyone then watches Honey, who talks to the Twilight Prince. Seiji says "I love Honey" and the Twilight Prince says that he can't because she's not human. Of course, everyone's listening, not that they care. Still, when secrets get spilled, you know you're nearing the end of the series. Honey gets a phone call on her cute pink toy phone. It's from the villain, who has a battleship with missiles and will destroy Tokyo if not stopped. Honey comes and says she has the light of love from her father and will fight to the end. Then everyone says, one by one, that they're with her. The Twilight Prince says something, she smiles, and he gives her flowers. Everyone is on a little boat compared to this huge battleship. The villain fires some machine gun blasts at it, which leaves the boat in ruins. Then a clam shell emerges from the ocean with Honey as Venus rising out of it. She's naked, but has an arm covering her breasts. The blue guys all bow down (not that it makes a difference). The villain decides to shoot the shell to pieces, and Honey sinks again, this guise doing _absolutely no good_. Honey appears on the ship's mast as something called "Madoless Honey" as far as I can make out. If anyone else has seen this episode, I hope someone can make out the name properly, though I half suspect this is some sort of cultural joke. She's in a sailor outfit (not a sailor suit) and carrying a guitar, which she smashes over the head of one of the bad guys. [Anm.: Das ist vielleicht etwas weit hergeholt, aber ich habe so etwas ähnliches wie "madurosu honey" verstanden, was von dem deutschen Wort "Matrose" (=sailor) stammen könnte. Honey erinnert von der Aufmachung her auch an Hans Albers, wenn dieser in bestimmten Filmen als Matrose auftritt. (Hat er da nicht auch Gitarre gespielt?) Aber es könnte natürlich auch etwas völlig anderes bedeuten ;-) ] Then she transforms to Escort Honey and pulls a lever to drop a bag of stuff on the bad guys (not that she really _needed_ to transform to do that). [Anm.: Doch, doch, das war in der Szene schon wichtig. Als "Escort Honey" hat sie nämlich eine Gruppe von Bösen aufgefordert hinter eine weiße Linie zurückzugehen. Danach standen sie richtig, um von dem Rettungsboot getroffen zu werden, das Honey dann gelöst hat. Bleibt natürlich die Frage, warum die Bösen "Escort Honey" immer gehorchen ;-) ] Honey fights the villain while Seiji, using a laptop computer that's obviously _really_ water resistant, hacks into the control system of the missiles, the students are on a rocky shore, and the teachers in the ocean among the debris. Also, none of them have any wounds from their boat being blasted by an automatic weapon a few scenes earlier. The Twilight Prince is watching from a lighthouse.
