The Eccentric Family - Season 1 (2013)

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.
