The gang solves a mystery in Japan.
Thoughts, Details and Recap
The gang travels to Japan. They learn that Velma is a local celebrity following a prior visit to a Tokyo science fair. Daphne quickly starts to influence the local style with jackwards (wearing a backwards jacket). They quickly come across the fall out of a Kanaiku attack. Shaggy and Scooby go on a mission to find a unique culinary experience. They all fall into their usual roles. Fred's obsessed with the mystery, Shaggy and Scooby are starving and chased, Daphne's got her crazy on and Velma's got a lot of emotional stuff going on.
The local detective warns the gang off from investigating. The stakes are real because local businesses are being driven out of business. Their failure to solve the mystery quickly and discretely threatens to bring shame to Velma's friend. The Kainaku attacks Shaggy and Scooby at the festival. The detective blames the gang when the Kainaku attacks them when clearly it's not their fault.
Daphne's new status as an icon bums out Velma who liked the attention. Daphne returns attention to Velma at the end of the episode by dressing up as Velma.
Velma's phone apparently works like a tricorder on the Kainaku slobber on Scooby. This leads them to an abandoned factory where their lure Kaniaku and trap him.
At the last minute, Fred finds the long lost legendary recipe.
It's an okay episode. Not top tier but solid all around.
