Takopi's Original Sin episode 1 recap

Takopi's Original Sin episode 1, titled To You in 2016, begins with Shizuka, an elementary school girl, coming across an octopus-shaped alien named Takopi, who she finds living in a pipe at a children's playground.

Upon finding out that Takopi was almost starved to death, Shizuka fed him leftovers from her lunch. Afterwards, it's revealed that Takopi is a friendly planet-hopping alien, whose driving force was to spread happiness to other people. And to thank Shizuka for feeding him, Takopi wanted to cheer her up with the help of his Happy gadgets.

However, no matter what he tried or how many gadgets he tried to offer her, Takopi couldn't comprehend the reason for Shizuka's sadness. Even after getting to know about her abusive life both at home and at school, Takopi couldn't grasp the severity of her situation or the horrors she faces on a daily basis.

One day, Shizuka reached a breaking point mentally, following which she used one of Takopi's gadgets to end her own life. When confronted with Shizuka's death, Takopi was at a loss. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt, Takopi used one of his gadgets to turn back time - a desperate attempt to undo Shizuka's death.

However, no matter what Takopi tried or how many times he went back in time, Shizuka's death remained a fixed point. It wasn't until Takopi actually took Shizuka's place and got beaten up by her bully, that he finally understood just how bad things were for her.

Towards the end of the episode, viewers learn that Marina - the girl who relentlessly bullied Shizuka and drove her to s*icide - was a victim of an abusive household herself. Thus, the episode came to an end, with the revelation that both Marina and Shizuka were victims of abuse, neglect, and isolation.
