Penguindrum - Season 1 Episode 5 This is What Drives Me
Let's initiate the survival strategy.
Asami Kuho, the girl who was pushed down the escalator, is questioned by a woman named Natsume, who then fires a red ball at her head, causing her to remember nothing about the incident. Kamba hears that his uncle is planning to sell their house and goes to see a strange person to obtain the money to buy it. Meanwhile, Shōma and Himari find Ringo, who had a bad day, and invite her back to their place. There, Shōma asks Ringo about her diary, which she claims is a Diary of Fate which describes her future. Both she and Shōma are summoned by the Penguin Hat, who orders Shōma to retrieve the diary, but Ringo breaks free and throws away the hat which lands on a truck, causing Himari to fall dead again. As Kamba goes to retrieve the hat, he recalls what happened 9 years ago when he went with his father into a typhoon when Himari was ill with a fever. After a tough struggle, Kamba manages to retrieve the hat and return it to Himari.
