"The Great Flying Nakagawa" (とんだ大空の逃亡者) Original Air Date (Imagined): November 15, 1998 Episode Synopsis The episode opens on a quiet afternoon at the Kameari Police Box.

Noguchi proudly announces his invention: It’s a bulky, inflatable vinyl suit with small ducted fans on the arms and legs, powered by a lawnmower engine strapped to the back.
