In a near-future Japan facing a declining birthrate, Santa Claus is seen as a dangerous person. Mita Kazue (voiced by Murase Ayumu), a junior high school student and descendant of Santa Claus, decides to become Santa Claus and fight against adults to protect children. This is a Santa Claus-themed action film that explores the bond between adults and children.
Episode 2: “Carrot, Stick, Kiss and Blade”
Mita’s roommate, Amaya Isshi, discovers that he is Santa Claus. Out of pure curiosity as a child, Amaya restrains the transformed Santa and Fuyumura and forces them to kiss.
However, Santa, who believes in “not laying hands on children,” refuses. Using his new power, he makes a sled appear under his feet and succeeds in freeing himself from the restraints. In the midst of this commotion, the school principal, Oshibu, appears.
