Ep. 10: Nagi investigates red balloons at Paisely Park while Boogiepop intervenes
Aired on March 9, 2000
Nagi travels to Paisely Park to investigate the growing acceptance of red balloons. There, she encounters childhood versions of the recipients who attack her. A feminine Boogiepop appears, causing Manaka to fall from a Ferris Wheel. The park lights go out, and Manaka appears to have aged significantly due to overusing her powers. As Manaka falls, the phantom children vanish and Poom Poom disappears in a flash of light. Manaka is left alone with Boogiepop after the incident concludes.
