Oh! Taro Is Being Eaten! (あっ！タロウが食べられる！, A! Tarō ga Taberareru!) is the forty-fourth episode of Ultraman Taro.

Plot[]

The ogre's close relative, Alien Kisaragi, is angered after seeing Kotaro take the Earthling's side by joining the Setsubun holiday's traditional bean-throwing that bullies ogres. She captures Kotaro and Ichiro and traps them inside a bean by shrinking them. That's when Ichiro's little brother, Jiro, puts that bean up to his mouth!
