The Raging Waves of the Sea (海の荒波)

ElamenSTAR, Episode 108

Aired 26th July, 1996

Summary

No sooner have the Wizbits reached the Castle of Drafty Winds, than Warchief Bogg, Nakurusu, and Tosuti show up and set them on the run again. The only escape for the Wizbits this time is aboard a rickety sailing vessel, and across the dangerous waters of the Whitecap Gap--but only if they can sunder their way through Warchief Bogg's two legions of Twisted Furniliars first!

Notes

Though never officially touted as a "two-part episode," this episode ends in a cliffhanger--the first real cliffhanger in the series. The Four Underdogs make it to the ship and set sail, but the surviving Twisted Furniliars fire a salvo from the rear, crippling the escape vessel. As a storm kicks up, the budding Elemenstors realize that they are adrift with no way to control their ship...

As the cliffhanger was deemed liable to disturb "more excitable" children, the American edit ended with the Wizbits boarding the ship and escaping their enemies. However, because this episode's battle scenes were largely concerned with the wanton destruction of furniture (still culturally acceptable in most parts of the United States), except for the minor modification to the ending this episode was delivered to its American audience largely unedited.
