Mousse Goes Home To The Country! is the twentieth episode of season four of the anime series Ranma 1/2. The episode features Mousse, a recurring character known for his unrequited love for the female lead, Akane Tendo.
In this episode, Mousse receives a letter from his mother, informing him that his hometown is in trouble. Mousse decides to return to his country to help out. Before he leaves, he tells Akane that he will return as soon as he can. However, in his haste, Mousse forgets to bring his glasses. Without his glasses, Mousse is practically blind.
When Mousse arrives in his hometown, he is shocked to find it in ruins. His mother, who appears to be the mayor, tells him that the village has been terrorized by a monster. Mousse is determined to help, but he quickly realizes that he is useless without his glasses.
Meanwhile, back at the Tendo Dojo, Ranma and Akane are worried about Mousse. They decide to go to his hometown to check on him. Their arrival coincides with the monster's reappearance. Ranma transforms into his female form, hoping to catch the monster off guard. However, the monster turns out to be a giant chicken, and it quickly overpowers them.
Just when all seems lost, Mousse returns with his glasses. He had been separated from his glasses during the fight, but he managed to find them. With his glasses, Mousse is able to defeat the monster with ease. The villagers are grateful for his help and celebrate his victory.
Mousse decides to stay in his hometown to help rebuild it. He tells his mother that he will return to Japan eventually, but for now, he feels like he belongs in his hometown. Akane tells Mousse that they will miss him, but they are happy that he has found a place where he belongs. Ranma, on the other hand, is relieved that he no longer has to deal with Mousse's unrequited love for Akane.
Overall, Mousse Goes Home To The Country! is a heartwarming episode that showcases the importance of friendship and finding one's place in the world. The episode also features some hilarious moments, particularly involving Mousse's near-blindness. Fans of the series will enjoy seeing Mousse take center stage, and the monster-of-the-week plot is a fun change of pace from the series' usual romantic hijinks.
