Itadakiman (イタダキマン) is the seventh in the Time Bokan series. The show was cancelled after twenty episodes due to low audience ratings. The show's title is a play on the Japanese saying "Itadakimasu", said before beginning a meal.
Plot
[edit]The story begins in the year 20XX. Oshaka School in Kamakuland is a world-renowned school where only those who are pure and clearheaded descendants of Priest Sanzo's clan may be admitted. The trio of villains firmly believe they are genuine descendants of Priest Sanzo's clan, although they are of uncertain lineage. They study hard to enter the school in spite of their repeated failure. One day, three intelligent children are called in by the principal and asked to find a set of missing copper plates scattered all over the world. The plates are to be used to complete a puzzle board, which will bring honor to the Oshaka School. The conversation is overheard by the trio of villains, and they decide to stop the youngsters.[2][3][4]
