The Eccentric Family [English Subtitled]

In Kyoto, humans, tanuki, and tengu live side-by-side. The Shimogamo family's father, the head of tanuki society, was mysteriously cooked into a stew. He left behind four sons who are now happily living with their mother.

Yasaburo visits Yajiro, who lives in the bottom of a well as a frog and forgot how to transform back into himself. When a storm comes, the three non-frog Shimogamo brothers race to help their mother, who is terrified of thunder.

In order to uphold a Shimogamo family tradition, Yasaburo needs to do what Yaichiro could not and come up with a leisure cruiser to launch. He asks to borrow Yakushibo's flying inner parlor, but ends up having to make a dangerous deal with Benten.

During the traditional Daimonji leisure cruise, the Ebisugawas come to pick on the Shimogamo family. Yasaburo fights bravely, but loses the Fujin Raijin folding fan. Fearing Benten's wrath, he goes into hiding after the inner parlor crashes.

Yasaburo had been hiding from Benten in Osaka, but she finds and catches him during a visit to Kyoto and makes him perform tanuki tricks for the Friday Fellows.

Benten and Yasaburo look at some autumn foliage with Professor Yodogawa. Yodogawa has plenty to say about philosophy of eating and tells the story of Benten and Yodogawa's first hot pot victim.

Yasaburo, Yashiro, and Yaichiro convince Prof. Akadama to take a much-needed bath, when they run into the Ebisugawa twins. It is revealed that Yajiro was partly responsible for Soichiro's death.

Yajiro tells Yasaburo and Yaichiro his account of the night their father was eaten. Later Yasaburo hears a continuation of the story Yajiro doesn't know - Soichiro bumped into Prof. Akadama on his way to the afterlife.

Yasaburo is sent to convince Prof. Akadama to attend the council where the new Nise-emon will be decided. He receives an ominous apology from Kaisei; her brothers are plotting something.

The meaning of Kaisei's mysterious apology becomes clear as the Ebisugawa plot to boil Yaichiro in a hot pot is revealed on the day of the Nise-emon election. The day is also the anniversary of Soichiro's death.

After Yasaburo escapes Soun, the Ebisugawas nab him through a clever Kinkaku-Ginkaku plot. Meanwhile, Yashiro escapes the Electric Brandy factory and Yaichiro is handed over to the Friday Fellows as the primary ingredient for their year-end hot pot.

Yashiro comes up with a plan to get Yajiro back in the game, leading to the trouncing of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Yashiro stalls the Nise-emon decision meeting while Yasaburo saves Yaichiro, but their mom is still in danger of becoming Friday Fellow hot pot.

Tanuki and human worlds collide as both the Nise-emon ceremony and Friday Fellow year-end bash descend into chaos. By New Year's everything settles down and Yasaburo and co. are able to calmly consider their hopes for the future.
