Ep. 28: Hibito crafts a fake UFO to protect Mutta from bullies who doubt his claims.
Aired on October 14, 2012
Hibito remembers how Mutta faced harassment from peers who refused to believe his UFO sightings. Determined to stop the bullying without using violence, he constructed a fake UFO and provided the footage to Mutta for his 13th birthday. Although Mutta recognized the recording as a fabrication, he valued the gesture and kept the DVD. As the bullies eventually targeted Hibito instead, Mutta intervened physically, using a headbutt to defend his friend against the attackers.
