episode #12:
A bacteria that was designed to consume petroleum (so as to help clean up spills) has inadvertently been released after the lab that created it had a massive failure.
The bacteria was depicted as eating anything petroleum-based, something that eventually brought all of Japan to a halt as all gasoline, oil, vinyl, plastic, and most types of synthetic fabrics were being consumed faster than the bacteria could be contained.
Thing is, the English dub has it that *rubber products* were being consumed as well.
And that sergeant major girl?
When the title character goes on a fast in sympathy for the people in Japan who were starving, she tells the girl to not even bother; if she can't eat when people in Japan are starving, then she shouldn't have been able to eat *ever* because of all the starving people around the world.
