Michiko and Hatchin is a popular anime series with a total of 22 episodes. The show follows the journey of two female protagonists, Michiko Malandro and Hana "Hatchin" Morenos, as they traverse through the Latin-American inspired fictional country of Diamandra in search of their respective goals. Michiko is an escaped convict who is seeking revenge against those who wronged her in the past. Hatchin is her estranged daughter who wishes to find her long-lost father. Together, they embark on a tumultuous adventure, facing various obstacles and making new allies along the way.
In episode 13, titled "Goldfish of the Marsh", Michiko and Hatchin find themselves in a new town called San Ignacio. They come across a man named Marcelo, who asks Michiko to find a rare type of goldfish in the marshes outside the town. Apparently, the fish is the last one left in existence and Marcelo hopes to breed it in captivity in order to save its species. Despite Michiko's initial reluctance, she eventually agrees to take on the task. Hatchin, on the other hand, spends most of her time in San Ignacio with a group of young boys who are scavenging for treasure in the town's abandoned buildings.
Michiko sets out on her mission with a local guide and a boat. As they navigate through the marshes, they come across various obstructions such as quicksand and dangerous animals. However, the biggest challenge comes in the form of a criminal gang that has set up camp in the marshes. The gang leader, a woman named Karla, has her sights set on the goldfish as well and will stop at nothing to obtain it. Michiko and her guide must face off against Karla and her gang in order to complete their mission.
Meanwhile, Hatchin and the boys stumble upon a hidden room filled with gold and other treasures. The room belongs to an old man who used to be a famous thief. He tells the boys stories about his past exploits and teaches them the tricks of the trade. Hatchin is apprehensive about stealing from the old man, but the boys are excited at the prospect of getting rich quick. Hatchin's moral dilemma is further complicated when one of the boys gets injured while attempting to steal a rare artifact.
As the episode progresses, Michiko and Hatchin both face their own unique challenges. Michiko's encounter with Karla and her gang puts her fighting skills to the test. She must overcome both physical and psychological obstacles in order to succeed. Hatchin's dilemma with the stolen treasure forces her to question her own values and the influence she has on those around her.
"Goldfish of the Marsh" is a standalone episode that highlights the action and adventure elements of Michiko and Hatchin. The episode takes place against the backdrop of a new location and introduces several new characters. However, it also continues the overarching themes of the series - the relationship between Michiko and Hatchin, the struggle for self-discovery, and the search for redemption.
