- April 4, 2000
Ruu-kun is Climbing the Chimney is the second episode of the first season of Daa! Daa! Daa! The episode starts with the central characters—Miyu, Kanata, and Wannya—moving into Grandma's house and getting themselves comfortable in their new home. They are still getting used to the fact that their parents have left them alone without any warning.
In the previous episode, Miyu and Kanata find an alien baby who they have named Ruu. In this episode, they are struggling to keep the baby hidden from their Grandma. Miyu has put Ruu in a box, but she cannot leave him there forever. Kanata suggests that they keep him outside, but the weather is freezing, and the baby may not survive the winter.
Kanata comes up with a plan to keep Ruu warm. He remembers that the chimney in their home is not in use, and they can keep the baby there since the heat will travel up the chimney and keep him warm. Miyu is hesitant at first, but Kanata convinces her that it is the only option they have.
So, they take the baby to the roof and successfully put him in the chimney. However, things don't go according to plan when Ruu wakes up and starts crying. Miyu and Kanata try to pacify him, but they realize that they cannot bring him back down without their Grandma noticing.
Meanwhile, the Grandma has already sensed something strange is going on and decides to check if Miyu, Kanata, and Wannya are keeping anything from her. The two kids quickly come up with a plan to distract their Grandma, which leads to some hilarious and unpredictable situations.
The episode showcases how the kids are trying to cope up with their new responsibility of taking care of the alien baby while hiding it from their Grandma. It also highlights their creativity, quick thinking and problem-solving skills, as they come up with innovative ways to keep the baby safe and warm.
