Ep. 65: Kotaro assists a couple he believes to be in need, ignoring police warnings that they are frauds.
Aired on December 23, 2000

65
Kotaro encounters an elderly couple soliciting funds and chooses to aid them. A police officer intervenes to inform him that the pair are scammers, but Kotaro rejects this claim and flees. He barricades himself inside a modified structure, refusing to leave. Kuro and his friends must collaborate to persuade Kotaro to end his standoff. This broadcast marked the final episode aired internationally. The reason for this cutoff remains unclear, though it is widely believed that the production company’s bankruptcy occurred before episode 66 could air, resulting in legal complications that prevented further distribution outside Japan.
