Skuld builds a robot named Banpei designed to fend off Mara, but he develops his own personality after falling in love with Belldandy.

Summary

Keiichi turns on a computer he scavenged out of the garbage and Urd is engrossed with a tokusatsu show on TV when Skuld abruptly cuts off all the power in the Temple. They both confront her over what happened, and Skuld introduces them to her newest invention, an anti-Mara robot named "Mini Banpei RX". While Urd thinks that Skuld's new robot is worthless, it suddenly starts walking outside.

While Belldandy is unaware while she's outside, Mara is floating in the sky about to execute her next plan involving Senbei, but he refuses to go along with it because it involves Keiichi having to drink him from his soda bottle. While they're distracted, Banpei locks onto them a shoots a bunch of good luck charms in the air, forcing Mara to flee the area. Belldandy and Urd are impressed with Banpei, but Urd makes Skuld turn him off so that she can go back to watching TV, but Belldandy later turns Banpei back on to her and Keiichi's annoyance.

Belldandy wants Banpei to always be online now that he's been brought into this world, so with her magic and assistance from Keiichi, they assemble a booster circuit that allows him to say online without using all the power in the Temple. Once they finish, however, Banpei locks on to Keiichi and starts attacking him with his stick, but he can't chase him outside of the temple because he's connected to a power cord.

Skuld finds out the Banpei's code has been rewritten and now instructs him to protect Belldandy from anyone who approaches her. Keiichi suspects Mara did something, but Skuld thinks that Benpei rewrote his own code after Belldandy installed her booster circuit in him. Urd tries turning Banpei off again, but he targets and attacks her. Later on, Banpei serves Belldandy tea, and Urd suspects that Banpei has fallen in love with her.

The next day, Banpei watches Belldandy prepare lunch for her and Keiichi, but Keiichi grabs her to rush toward his motorcycle and get to Nekomi Tech before Banpei can follow. Banpei notices that Belldandy hadn't taken her box lunch and grabs it. He breaks his power cables and, upon detecting the tire marking form Keiichi's motorcycle, transforms into a motorcylcle himself and races through traffic.

At Nekomi Tech, Keiichi tells Belldandy about what had been going on with Banpei when the robot suddenly approches them from behind with their box lunch. However, Banpei had quickly drained his internal battery without his power cable, and he promptly shuts down.

As Keiichi narrates, they tried to restore Banpei's memories when he was reactivated, but it had been wiped clean. However, Belldandy still hopes that there's a bit of his old personality still lives on inside him.
