Yatterman Night is a Japanese anime series that centers around a dystopian world where the Yattermen used to be the protectors of the people. However, they eventually became corrupted and used their powers for their own gain, causing chaos and unrest among the people.
In episode one of season one, titled "The World Is Pitch-Black," the audience is introduced to a young girl named Leopard who lives in a small village in the outskirts of the Yatterman Kingdom. The village is made up of people who were once forced out of their homes due to the Yattermen's oppressive rule.
Leopard is the granddaughter of the famous duo known as the Doronbo Gang, who were known for their attempts to take down the Yattermen. However, they were never successful and eventually disappeared. Leopard's mother was also a member of the gang and died trying to fight against the Yattermen.
Leopard harbors a strong hatred towards the Yattermen, believing that they are responsible for the suffering of her people. She dreams of one day taking down the Yattermen and becoming a hero like her grandfather.
Leopard's chance to make a difference comes when she discovers a secret room in her village that belonged to her grandfather. In the room, she finds a time machine and a note that tells her to travel back 100 years to when the Yattermen were still good and just.
Leopard, along with her friends, Elephantus and Voltkatze, travel back in time to find the Yattermen before they became corrupted. However, their journey is not an easy one, as they encounter many obstacles along the way.
They first meet a man named Tonzura, who is skeptical of their intentions but eventually agrees to help them find the Yattermen. Tonzura introduces them to an old scientist named Dokurobei, who agrees to help them fix their time machine and gives them a map to find the Yattermen's base.
Throughout the episode, Leopard and her friends must use their wits and skills to navigate through dangerous territory and avoid getting caught by the Yattermen. They eventually make it to the Yattermen's base, only to find that the Yattermen are not the heroes they thought they were.
"The World Is Pitch-Black" sets the stage for the rest of the season, as Leopard and her friends continue their journey to take down the corrupt Yattermen and restore justice to the land. The episode is filled with action, adventure, and a sense of hope that keeps the audience engaged and rooting for the characters.
