Ep 4. Imaginary Gear

In Clockwork Planet season 1 episode 4, titled Imaginary Gear, our protagonist Naoto and his partner RyuZU continue on their journey to stop the destruction of the world caused by something known as the "Y" factor. Along the way, they are intercepted by two members of the Meister Guild, Marie and Vainney. Marie, who is a skilled clocksmith, presents a proposal to Naoto and RyuZU about constructing an imaginary gear that will help them in their mission to stop the Y factor.

However, Naoto is hesitant to work with the guild due to their questionable intentions. Despite this, they decide to move forward with the plan and travel to the Meister Guild's headquarters. Once they arrive, they find that the guild has fallen into chaos due to the Y factor's influence. Naoto, RyuZU, and Marie work together to reconstruct the imaginary gear, which Marie explains is a clockwork design that is purely theoretical and has never been constructed before.

As they work, they are attacked by members of the guild who have been influenced by the Y factor. Naoto and RyuZU quickly come to Marie's defense, showcasing their impressive combat abilities. During the battle, Naoto realizes that Marie has a special connection to the imaginary gear, which makes her an essential part of its construction. They manage to defeat the attacking guild members, allowing them to complete the imaginary gear.

With the imaginary gear complete, Naoto, RyuZU, and Marie set off on their next mission to stop the Y factor. As they are leaving, Vainney shows up and tells Naoto that the guild will help them in any way they can. This is a significant development, as Naoto was initially wary of the guild's involvement.

The episode concludes with Naoto, RyuZU, and Marie heading towards their next destination, determined to stop the Y factor and save the world. The episode provides some much-needed character development for Marie and shows off her impressive skills as a clocksmith. It also highlights Naoto and RyuZU's unwavering dedication to their mission, despite the many obstacles they have faced along the way.

Overall, Clockwork Planet season 1 episode 4 is an exciting chapter in the ongoing story of Naoto, RyuZU, and their quest to save the world.
