Rave Master

This episode opens up with a flashback 50 years ago with a guy fighting a monster with a pink crystal-like front. We then go to the present where we see a boy named Haru in Hip Hop City looking for something called Plue. He goes into a casino where he meets a girl, Elie, who's playing and Haru accidently messes up her roulette game. She get's mad so she uses her weapons to tear down the casino. Later, she runs into members of the Shadow Guard, an evil organization. She finds Plue then decides to take him. She runs into Shadow Guard again and they take Plue thinking he's a dog and taking it to a dog track. She goes to watch then helps him from almost getting hurt. Haru then comes in then fights a Shadow Guard who has a crystal and can use carbon monoxide as a weapon. He takes him down eventually and they are escaping from the city.

Haru and Elie, along with the ""carrot-nosed dog"" Plue, met up with a blond female who to their surprise took refuge in a homemade home deep in the earth. This girl helped those esacpe from the evil known as Shadow Guard. Next on her list was our beggining heros! Though things weren't easy and there were hard fights for Haru, but once given the chance he rose to victory over Shuda. Now recognized as momentary escapees our heros continue to embark on their adventure!

Along the way to Punk Street, Haru encounters the Silver Rhythm Gang and it's brash leader Musica. In town, Plue makes friends with the elderly blacksmith Old Musica (no relation -- or is there?) Once Haru realizes who he is, he begs him to fix his sword. Another leader in the Shadow Guard, Lance learns of the arrival of Haru, the Rave Master, and sees this as his chance to capture the Rave Stones. Elie meets the young Musica from the Silver Rhythm Gang and thinks he's the blacksmith they've been searching for. Haru tells her that he's found the real Musica. During the discussion, they are all attacked by Bis, one of Lance's toughest and biggest goons.
