The Shape of the Heart, the Shape of the Tablecloth (心のかたち テーブルクロスのかたち)

 

ElamenSTAR, Episode 114

Aired 6th September 1996

 

Summary

The Four Underdogs travel to the Valley of the Varnak in the Ruins of Blee, chasing rumors that the Lost Ring Of Great Sentimental Value might help them against Char Reyarteb. A traveling merchant tells tham that a kindly old woman living in the valley has the ring.

 

But all the residents of the valley have been transformed into mindless zombies! The Wizbits find that the cause is Varnak, a clawed, six-tentacled, winged beast who using the old woman's skin as a tentacle-style sock puppet. Some quick Fire Elemenstation on Wendel's part saves Penny from an untimely death at the hands of the shambling villager-corpses, but will it be enough against the Varnak?

 

Notes

This is the first episode to use the catchphrase, "Let's kick it into overgear!" Note that this phrase is spoken in English (more or less), even in ElamenSTAR.

 

The Reth'can, the Varnak's enormous unmoving counterpart, only makes a brief appearance in the background of this episode. Fortunately for Asana Millytopthought, by the time Book 8 rolls around the Varnak and its undead minions have been defeated and the only thing in the Valley of the Varnak is the harmless Reth'can. Oh, and some not-so-harmless Halfmen, but that's hardly the Four Underdogs' problem.

 

This episode aired as the first episode of season two for The Wizbits Cartoon. The differences are largely cosmetic; melting the flesh off of zombies, the use of an elderly woman's skin as a monster's puppet, and the compulsory where-there-are-tentacles-they-must-be-naughty scenes are all edited out, of course, but the plot survives mostly intact.
