Episode 9 — “Kiddie Cure-all”
Plus-Sized Elf Makes Me Go Heh.
Sitcoms rely on characterization to deliver jokes and ratings. Also, an audience should like the characters they see on the screen because they want to return weekly to see what they get up to as their quirks run into situations and each other. That’s the definition of situation comedy. Plus-Sized Elf used that formula to the maximum for its short-form episode.
Usually, the anime breaks up its short episode into two vignettes or comedy skits. This time, Naoe’s shota-fication turned into one long sketch because Kuroeda couldn’t admit she had made a mistake in Elfuda’s presence. Then, more jokes sprang up from Naoe’s condition after the other monster girls discovered the comedic premise. The tension and chaotic comedy ratcheted up as Kuroeda tried to maintain her pride as circumstances put her solution of covering up her mistake further away. Plus-Sized Elf excels at using Elfuda and Kuroeda’s rivalry and Oga’s MILF instincts for joke and fanservice material.
Purple Drank in Plus-Sized Elf
Yes. You have my attention. Kuroeda’s magic panties have stopped snapping straps. The Dark Elf’s fitness program must be working! What will that potion do to “the pudgy elf?” Uh oh. Leaving purple sizzurp in a Coke bottle inside Naoe’s apartment is a bad idea.
Oh, no. Naoe drank Kuroeda’s magic potion. Let the Plus-Sized Elf chaos ensue! Wait a minute. Is that an insult? Elfuda called Kuroeda’s butt a “peach emoji.” That’s one juicy peach! Ah. Kuroeda schemes to make Elfuda drink her purple cola. The Forest Elf loves cold soda and french fries because she’s addicted now. Eep! Kuroeda can’t admit she turned Naoe into a baby with her experimental weight-loss magic potion. Technically, the lean (purple drank) worked. Ack. The other monster girls want revenge. Safe! Elfuda is still an airhead. Or a potato head? Aw. Poor Satero. She gets no respect in Plus-Sized Elf. But Kuroeda needs to fix Naoe, or she’ll get the spanking. Ha! Mero knows kids love chicken nuggets, so she’ll bring some back after the others buy Naoe some baby clothes.
Ohoho. Look at the widdle Naoe in coveralls! Uh oh. Another monster girl arrives to keep Kuroeda from stealing back her shota-fication potion. And it’s the worst one for Naoe’s condition: MILF-tastic Oga! Hahaha! Nosebleed!
Plus-Sized Elf Stews in Nervous Dark Elf Juices
Okay. Naoe can pass the time teaching Oga how to cook while he waits for Honeda and the others to find Satero. Naked aprons for Plus-Sized Elf? Only for Satero! Naoe owns a lot of aprons, but he should have had a “peach” one for Kuroeda instead of a “steamed bun” (manjuu). Oga and Elfuda have better themes on their aprons. Mukimuki (muscular) Mama is perfect for the ogre, and “potepote” (short for potato-potato) matches Elfuda’s potato-for-brains attitude. And Naoe’s recipe is for meat and potato stew! Elfuda is in heaven. Hopefully, for Kuroeda’s catlike reflexes, Naoe’s cooking lesson will distract the others so she can swipe the purple potion. The odds do not look promising, but I thank Plus-Sized Elf for putting Kuroeda in catgirl cosplay.
Whoops! The Dark Elf is a good cook, so she fell into the rhythm of following Naoe’s stew recipe. And no rest for simmering stew, either. Baby Naoe won’t let the monster girls rest when they can exercise their problem areas in place. Oh, did that exertion make you thirsty, Kuroeda? How about quenching your thirst with this purple cola? Gasploosh!
Dark Magic and Dark Side Effects: Consult Your Witch Doctor!
Kuroeda’s sins came out in the Plus-Sized Elf wash, so to speak. More like showered out of Elfuda’s hair. Aw. Kuroeda cares about Naoe. But her attempt at making his job of shrinking monster girl waistlines easier failed. No magic potion can replace healthy habits and diets, though. Although Kuroeda’s potion eventually wears off, it has the unfortunate side effect of increasing fat! Oga will still love Naoe, right? And what about the satyr-hunting party? Poor Satero.

I liked how Kuroeda was the star of the episode. We followed her inner thoughts and reactions. Should Plus-Sized Elf do that again with another monster girl? I’d prefer to see Akiho’s daily routine. Who would be your choice? Let us know in the comments below.
