The second half of a 1-Hr special. The Devil Bats plan their method of attack for their Japan-US game against the NASA Aliens. The Aliens are a strong team known for their famous "shuttle pass." They also have a fast runner by the name of Panther, who moves swiftly with his antigravity legs. However, the coach has limited Panther to being the team's ball-boy. The Aliens arrive in Japan to enjoy the food and practice, but when their coach's cat gets lost, Panther sees his opportunity to play in the upcoming Japan-US game. Panther also meets Sena and looks forward to seeing him on the football field.moreless

- "Dogeza" is a form of bowing while on your hands and knees. Panther confused it in the sense that you had to be upside-down while holding onto a ladder with one hand. The picture that Watt had seems to be from a firefighters' agility contest from Japan's Edo period.
