Ep 12. Get Yours, or Die!

Shin Chan is a Japanese anime series that follows the adventures of 5-year-old Shin Chan and his family. The show primarily focuses on the mischief that Shin Chan gets into and how his family navigates through it all.

In season 1 episode 12, titled Get Yours, or Die!, Shin Chan decides that he wants a new toy robot that's being advertised on TV. His mother, Misae, tells him that they can't afford it right now, but Shin Chan doesn't want to take no for an answer.

Determined to get the toy robot, Shin Chan comes up with a plan to make some extra money. He decides to start a lemonade stand outside of his house, hoping that he can sell enough lemonade to afford the toy robot.

Shin Chan's friends Kazama and Masao come over to help him, but they quickly realize that selling lemonade is harder than it looks. Their first few customers seem uninterested in their lemonade and some even make fun of their operation.

Despite the setbacks, Shin Chan and his friends refuse to give up. They come up with more creative ways to attract customers, like creating a catchy jingle and wearing silly costumes. Slowly but surely, they start to gain customers and their lemonade stand starts to become a hit.

However, Shin Chan's success is short-lived when his neighbor, Mrs. Matsuzaka, starts her own lemonade stand across the street from him. Mrs. Matsuzaka's stand is much bigger and fancier than Shin Chan's, and she steals all of his customers.

Shin Chan becomes frustrated and decides to sabotage Mrs. Matsuzaka's stand by putting dirt in her lemonade. His plan backfires though when Mrs. Matsuzaka catches him in the act and shuts down Shin Chan's lemonade stand.

Feeling defeated, Shin Chan goes home and sulks. His mother tries to cheer him up by reminding him that he should be proud of himself for trying to make his own money. She also tells him that they'll find a way to afford the toy robot eventually.

The episode ends with Shin Chan going to bed, still dreaming of his toy robot.

Overall, Get Yours, or Die! is a heartwarming episode about determination and the value of hard work. Shin Chan's determination to get his toy robot is admirable, even if his methods are a little misguided. The episode also touches on the importance of perseverance and not giving up, even when things get tough.
