E2Episode 2Idea 2When Ueda takes Shimoda to the Insect Department to introduce himself, he's overwhelmed by everybody being a character.

E6Episode 6Idea 6Out of gratitude for their work, God decides to arrange a company vacation to Galapagos. While they are enjoying the hot springs and the banquet, a bloody Mercury is found. Jupiter, the self-named eats-himself-broke detective, claims that the perpetrator is definitely amongst them and sets off to find them...

E10Episode 10Idea 10Somehow Shimoda stumbled into an underground kingdom. This kingdom is a land for "animals that create the perfect society", with their queen at the top.

It's too ideal a place, but there is a hidden truth about this system - Idea 11

E12Episode 12Idea 12As a gift for Hell's celebratory party, God orders the designers to come up with "an animal that can be used in Hell's attraction and also sent to Earth".
