"The Muscled Woman" (筋肉質な女, Kinnikushitsu na Onna) is the sixth episode of Kaiba.


Summary[]

The freight ship Kaiba (in Chroniko's body) and Vanilla are on is headed to a planet named Lolo, where the memories of the living and the dead are gathered and stored in the galaxy's the largest memory tank. Whilst landing, the freight ship collides with another smaller ship, resulting in the latter crashing into the planet. Kaiba is worried and decides to investigate the crash site, finding an old couple (Cafe and Triton) receiving some help from a strange woman in a man’s body.

Synopsis[]

The pronouns used here are of the person's original body's.

Kaiba, in Chroniko's body, is going through his period. He watches the roe river and Vanilla tries to converse with him about it. The next planet they will stop at is Lolo, where the roe ends up and housing the largest memory tank in the federation. He asks Kaiba if he wants to go to the theme park with him. Kaiba is obviously not listening and distraught. Vanilla asks Kaiba if there's someone he likes. As Kaiba walks away, commenting he doesn't feel well, Vanilla wonders if it's that time of the month.

The ship passes through the roe river and the announcer says you might hear voices, but they don't belong to real people. Kaiba hears some of these voices that comment on the conditions on being bodyless yet still clinging to existence. Another ship collides with the ship Kaiba is riding. Everyone is pretending not to notice, but Kaiba rides her scooter to the scene. There is a muscular cyborg that appears to be fixing the ship. Hyohyo seems disturbed looking at the him. An old man with his wife, the owners of the ship, takes a picture of them.

The couple talks about the planet, which used to be known as the graveyard of memories, but is now a huge base. The cyborg has trouble picking up a dropped part so Kaiba picks it up for him. After the couple asks the cyborg if he came for the attractions, the cyborg walks away without a response.

The wife notices a little plant sprouting all alone on this artificial planet and comments on its loneliness.

They ride one of the attractions, some sort of water slide. The husband asks Kaiba if he wonders about the cyborg. He says the cameras that give information to a central location may have upset him.

They arrive at the memory tower. There are no others there and they explore. Kaiba searches for "Warp" in the database and no results showed. He notices the cyborg's shadow walking while Hyohyo finds Neiro in the database. Kaiba suddenly feels uncomfortable and goes to the bathroom, then runs into the cyborg after coming out. They discover they're both in a body of the opposite gender of who they really are.

The cyborg tells Kaiba his name is Gel while Kaiba helps her urinate. Kaiba asks why Gel switched bodies and she(Gel) says she didn't want to switch bodies in the first place. Gel asks Kaiba's name and after a short moment of thinking, he says Warp.

Kaiba tells Gel that the old couple wanted to see her and give their thanks. He then asks why she came to the planet and she avoids the question.

Kaiba goes back to the old couple. The park closes and voices from the memory tanks start talking, just like when they delved through the roe river. They leave.

Now out of the memory tank, they meet Gel again and eat together. Kaiba asks if something encased in glass was a musical instrument, then asked if they play music. The wife was a singer and the husband played an accompaniment and her manager.

Hyohyo flies away. The couple sings Ki no Uta to Kaiba and Gel. They both have heard it before. Gel asks Kaiba why his name is Warp. He says he doesn't know what it means, and Gel explains it's the name of their enemy, the king that made the world this way, the one who killed her parents, and even killed her once, too. She feels a sense of duty to free the souls Warp locked up, referring to the memory tanks, then tells Kaiba not to go near the tank at night.

The song finishes, and the little plant from earlier walks into the room. It sucks the memories out of the wife before Gel cuts the siphon. Kaiba tries freezing it with his memory reader, but it fails. Gel comments that is the legendary plant that eats memories, Kaiba. The plant Kaiba displays a memory of the wife cheating on the husband. Kaiba says it's a false memory, but the husband says it's real and he knew.

While Kaiba sleeps, Gel leans in to kiss him but stops himself. Gel comments that she cannot tell if his feelings are her true feelings.

The next morning, the husband calls for Chroniko(Kaiba) and he looks out of the window, seeing Vanilla supporting Gel. Apparently Gel had collapsed on the road.

They plug Gel's charger into an outlet. Vanilla tells Kaiba he was searching for him because there was a big incident at daybreak. He asks how Kaiba knows Gel and Kaiba responds that he was with her the whole time. He claims she didn't do anything and Vanilla says okay.

Another police officer arrives and says a cyborg was spotted by the cameras at dawn. Vanilla tries to explain Gel was innocent, but the officer says the cyborg was stolen from Abipa. Vanilla continues trying to defend Gel, but is not convincing the officer. While this happens, Kaiba takes a copy of Gel's memories.

The husband says he'll take his wife on the journey, no matter what happens to her. They depart. Kaiba and Gel say farewell. Kaiba realizes Gel seems very similar to the girl in the locket, but still can't remember exactly who she is.

The Kaiba plant is seen eating the memories that were dispersed by the memory tank explosion. It is much larger.

Cut to Popo and Neiro. Neiro says she destroyed the factories on Abipa and Lolo's memory tank, as Dada-sama ordered.
