First Half[]
In Karin's timeship, Junta tells her that Ryuuji has the ability to shape-shift. Karin starts to panic even further, trying to come up with excuses (while she shot the wrong person, since it had an effect on Ryuuji at all, the formula must have been made wrong, which is even worse).
However, Karin is deadset against Junta turning into the Mega-Playboy so that he can defeat Ryuuji. She warns that he may never be able to turn back to his normal self if he turns into the Mega-Playboy again. She asks Junta why defeating Ryuuji is so important to him, and he tells her of what Ryuuji did to Ami.
At the playground, Ami has told Kotomi what Ryuuji-Junta did to her. Kotomi tells her that it doesn't make sense that Junta would do that. Ami at first doesn't believe this, probably because Junta made no defense the night before. Kotomi then asks Ami straight whether she loves Junta or not. Ami doesn't want to answer the question, but Kotomi tells her to have faith in him, because he loves her more than he can show.
Back at Karin's timeship, Karin has told Yokomori what she's done and that Ryuuji has the power to shape-shift. Yokomori tells her that she has to come back home at once because there is no more funding to continue the mission and that he foresees no way that Karin can complete it otherwise.
She tries to tell him that if they don't do anything, Junta will become the Mega-Playboy, but Yokomori says that if that is the case, the timeline wouldn't have changed anyway, so history would not change. However, Karin is insistent that something be done.
Ryuuji absorbs the DNA of every strong guy in town.
Karin continues doing tests, with one saying that Junta has a 98% chance of permanently becoming the Mega-Playboy if he changes into him again. She then decides that she is the one who must fight Ryuuji. Meanwhile, at his mansion, Ryuuji appears to be sucking the DNA out of every big-muscled guy in town. Having arrived at the mansion, Karin is determined to fight Ryuuji to prevent Junta from becoming the Mega-Playboy. Next Karin runs towards the gate and jumps over it to gain entry into the mansion.
In her room, Ami is thinking over what Kotomi told her about having faith in Junta. She hears and sees Junta leaving his house and decides to follow him.
Karin is ready to face Ryuuji.
Back at Ryuuji's mansion, Karin runs across the dark corridors of the mansion looking for Ryuuji, she stops at an intersection, looking around which way to go when a scream sets her off into the right direction. After running through the several corridors of the mansion she finally finds Ryuuji, presumably in the main-hall, just as he's sucking the DNA out of the last man in the room. He then walks into the light revealing an outfit and mask. As Karin is irritated about the outfit, Ryuuji clenches his fist and tells her that someone with superpowers should dress appropriately. Karin says that she hoped to reason with him, but now sees that he is totally nuts.
Junta arrives at Karin's timeship but finds it unoccupied. He sees a monitor displaying a diagram of a fragment of DNA which he surmises to be the Mega-Playboy DNA. He then turns around and sees that Ami has followed him there. She asks him what the place is so he tells her that it's Karin's. He then asks Ami why she's there, and she tells him that she has so many things that she wants to tell him. Junta remarks that he thought she said she didn't want to see him again, but Ami tells him that she believes in him.
Suddenly, Oharu's alarm goes off signaling that a dimensional call is coming in. Yokomori sees Junta and immediately recognizes him, remarking "how do you do, Mr. Junta Momonari?"
Second Half[]
Yokomori identifies himself to Junta. Junta quickly gathers that he is from the future and is Karin's boss. Yokomori says that he wanted to check in on Karin, which causes Junta to ask if Karin is ok. Yokomori decides to tell them since it "very much concerns" Junta.[1]
Karin tries to attack Ryuuji.
Back at Ryuuji's mansion, Ryuuji and Karin are now fighting. Karin is trying to punch and him, but Ryuuji is too fast for her. As he reappears behind her, Karin turns around and runs towards Ryuuji and tries to hit him with a reverse flip-kick. But again, Ryuuji easily dodges Karin's kick. At this point Karin wonders whether or not Ryuuji is still a human. After dodging all of her attacks, Ryuuji makes fun of Karin, questioning the success her "silly tricks" to stop him. Karin then stands up, gathers her strength and charges Ryuuji.
A view Junta cannot enjoy - Ami's butt.
Now we see Ami riding her bike with Junta riding along. She decides to go faster and stands up on the pedals, sticking her butt right into Junta's face. However, she comes to a fork in the road and stops quickly, which causes Junta's face to slam into her butt. She asks Junta which way it is to Ryuuji's house only to look back and see Junta puking.
Ruuyji charges Karin.
Back at the mansion, Karin is now kicking Ryuuji in rapid succession, and finally kicks him across the room into a stairway. Karin strikes a victory pose but notices that something is not right. Just as the dust settles, Karin notices that Ryuuji is unharmed. He gets up easily and laughs at her, telling her that he was only toying with her and that he will start fighting "more seriously." He then charges Karin.

Next we see that Junta is now driving Ami's bike, however has little control over it, crying for Ami to "stop this crazy thing" at one point before finally crashing in front of Tomoko. Ami tells Junta that that's why she was so adamant about him not driving, but she asks him which way is to Ryuuji's house. Tomoko overhears this and wonders why they are trying to get to his house.
Karin is in big trouble when Ryuuji started to fight seriously.
Ryuuji is sucking up Karin's DNA.
Back at the mansion, Karin and Ryuuji are exchanging blows and kicks. Karin is desperately trying to keep up with Ryuji's speed, but Ryuuji is winning now. After getting hit by one of Ryuuji's hard punches Karin briefly staggers, but recovers and launches her counterattack. She tries to hit Ryuuji with a high kick and a series of spin kicks which require Karin to perform a handstand. However, Ryuuji blocks her high kick and dodges all of Karin's subsequent spin kicks with minimal effort. When Karin is standing again she lets down her guard for a moment. Ryuuji uses her mistake and body-checks her with his elbow. He then punches Karin's belly which forces Karin to her knees. Ryuuji then tells Karin that her fighting style is "quite peculiar" and says that he wants it. Karin tries to fight back but Ryuuji blocks her kick, grabs her face, lifts her up and sucks up her DNA. Karin is completely defenseless and groans in pain while Ryuuji enjoys to absorb her DNA.
Ryuuji finishes Karin off with a powerful kick.
She finally separates herself from him and asks what he has done, but he starts to kick fight against her like she was doing to him earlier. Karin who is exhausted from the strenuous ordeal tries to move away from Ryuuji. Unfortunately for Karin, Ryuuji covers the distance, kicks her into a pillar and informs her that he has assimilated her DNA and abilities. In a desperate last attempt she then tries to fight back, but Ryuuji deflects her blow. As they both land on the ground Ryuuji tells Karin that any form of resistance is useless and laughs at her. Karin is desperate as she has realized that she has no chance of winning the fight. Ryuuji, now easily winning the fight against Karin, punches Karin across the hall with a variety of blows and knee kicks before he finally hits her hard against a wall. Upon impact Karin collapses to the ground and moans in pain. Ryuuji approaches Karin and tells her, that it is time to end the fight. As Ryuji prepares for the final blow he explains that his power allows him to have all-encompassing power, then punches her hard. Karin is knocked unconscious by the blow.

Having arrived at Ryuuji's mansion, Junta and Ami run through it looking for Karin when Ryuuji comes out of a room holding a very beat-up, unconscious Karin. A close-up reveals that Karin's suit is torn to pieces and her breast armor is broken. Junta charges up the stairs at Ryuuji. Karin slowly regains consciousness and begs Junta to stay back. However, Junta keeps running up the stairs. Ryuuji then throws Karin down the stairs. Junta tries to grab her but misses and she falls down to the bottom of the stairs. Ami quickly runs to Karin to help her. Despite the punishment by Ryuuji Karin claims that is is alright, only to contort her face in pain due to the injuries she has sustained. Junta then begins to change into the Mega-Playboy, telling Ryuuji that what he did was unforgivable, but this time The Mega-Playboy seems to be different from what it was before...possibly because the real Junta is still in control.
Episode Preview[]
In the end, all I've done is ensure that Junta fights Ryuuji. Junta, don't you understand? If you turn into the Mega-Playboy this time, you may never turn back into your old self! You just CAN'T turn into him. Ami, please, you have to stop Junta! Next time on DNA2: Bye-Bye Mega-Playboy.
Footnotes[]
1 - While we never really find out when exactly Ami learns that Junta really didn't try to molest her in the anime, what happens during the course of the discussion of Yokomori would seem to be the most obvious place for her to learn this, as well as the all the information behind Junta being the Mega-Playboy and what Karin is there for. In the manga, Ami learns it was actually Ryuuji when Karin tells Ami the whole story at the very beginning of the manga #4.
2 - Episodes 5, 6, 7 and 8 are based on book #4 of the DNA2 manga series, while episodes 9, 10, 11, and 12 are based more on book #3. While the episodes follow the mangas fairly faithfully, I thought I should note that the events that take place in these episodes are occurring reverse from when they occurred in the manga.
3 - In both anime and manga Karin loses the fight against Ryuuji. But the progress of the fight is different from the manga. In the manga Karin also visits Ryuuji's mansion. Before she can enter it she falls through a trap door and is sedated with sleeping gas. While observing the trap door closing Ryuuji reveals that he will take care of Karin on the next day. The next day Karin wakes up at an abandoned house. Ryuuji visits her and wants to know why she has come to him. Karin explains that she wants him and Junta to end their stupid rivalry. Ryuuji seems reluctant to accept Karin's request only reveal his next surprise for her. Karin is attacked from behind - she is grabbed by her hands and is lifted into the air. Ryuuji explains that he might consider her request if she manages to defeat his six henchmen. He then teleports away before her eyes leaving behind an angry Karin who has to free herself from a trap once more. After returning Ryuuji asks one of his henchmen whether or not Karin is still alive. Hearing her laughs from a distance he learns that Karin has defeated his men and is now ready to take him on. While first having the upper hand Ryuuji reveals to Karin that he was toying with her. Next he easily blocks her kicks before punching her in the face and belly. To finish the fight, Ryuuji uses a powerful attack [the Super Sonic Attack] when he charges at supersonic speed through Karin's body. In the process Karin's suit is torn to shreds and she becomes unconscious. After the fight Ryuuji congratulates Karin on surviving just before she collapses. As she lies on the ground he then mocks her by saying that he didn't even use his full power before going away and leaving an unconscious Karin to be raped by his henchmen. In the anime version Ryuuji and Karin fight into the early morning. Ryuujis also reveals to Karin that he was toying with her. Unlike the manga version Karin is punished with several more blows in the anime. After her defeat she is tortured by Ryuuji instead of his henchmen.
