Oh My Goddess

A Demon named Mara has come to Earth to sew discord for the Goddesses, and she targets Keiichi and turns him into a newt!

Summary[]

Keiichi has a nightmare where a mysterious person threatens to transform his body into a form that's as hideous as theirs. Belldandy senses a disturbance and has a feeling she knows who the cause of it is.

Meanwhile, Tamiya goes to a music store and comes across a strange "Demons CD" which emits a force compelling him to purchase it for ¥4800. Upon returning to the Nekomi Tech men's dorm, he neither remembers buying the CD nor having a CD player, but he nonetheless tries playing the CD on a record player. A mysterious voice suddenly voice asks how he ever managed to get into college, and someone phases through the record player and enters the room. This androgynous-looking person introduces herself as Mara, a Demon First-Class with an unlimited license. As thanks for releasing her, Mara offers to grant Tamiya one wish, but Tamiya doesn't understand what happened and only wants Mara to leave the men's only dorm. Mara happily accepts the uninspired wish.

Belldandy sets up a magic barrier inside the temple to protect Keiichi while she goes out to investigate the disturbance she feels. Immediately after she steps outside, a talking frog greets Keiichi and reveals itself as Mara—the same person from his nightmare—who says she has come to transform his body!

Belldandy hears Keiichi scream from inside and rushes back to him. She discovers Mara had already bested her barrier, but she clarifies that she was already there before she set it up. Mara shows Belldandy the handiwork she did on Keiichi, but Belldandy mistakenly believes that Mara turned Keiichi into a frog instead of the newt that is right next to it. As a Goddess First-Class, Belldandy demands Mara return Keiichi to normal, but Mara ignores her because she is a demon and leaves the temple.

Urd returns to the temple just as Belldandy attempts to use magic to cure Keiichi, but she only manages to change him from a newt to an iguana. Urd tries her hand at it and transforms Keiichi into a penguin, a rat, a lemur, and finally... a frog. They realize the only way to return Keiichi to normal is to get Mara to tell them the password that breaks the spell, but they'd have to convince her to do it. Thankfully, they remember that Mara had to have come to Earth through a catalyst, which is double-sided. They use a spell to find where Mara's catalyst is, but it turns out that it's getting closer to them. Tamiya knocks on the front door, wanting to ask Keiichi if he has a CD player to play his Demons CD—the catalyst.

Belldandy catches up to Mara on the street and demands that she return Keiichi to normal. Mara again refuses to do so, but Belldandy unleashes the power of the "Gods CD", the second part of Mara's double-disc CD set which has enough power to seal her inside. Mara asks Belldandy why she chooses to be Keiichi's servant since she can break her contract with him at any time, and Belldandy says that she stays with Keiichi out of her own free will, not just because of the contract. Unwilling to be bound, Mara gives up and tells Belldandy the password to return Keiichi to normal.

When Belldandy speaks Mara's password, Keiichi returns to normal, but it brings back neither his clothes nor Mara, who now needs somewhere to say.
