Sapphire's Carnival: Franz dances with Sapphire, though he believes the blond girl is not Sapphire. Franz had already seen through Sapphire's guise in earlier episodes, & knew her to be a girl. In this, & other occasions, Sapphire begins to crave her true identity as a girl. Ataru Moroboshi's friend Ryunosuke (in Urusei Yatsura) is also in a similar situation, as her papa raised her as a boy, & considers her a boy. Either Tezuka was a trend setter, or these themes come from Japanese folk lore.

The Magic Pen: Franz gives Sapphire a pen that always writes the truth. Nylon takes it from Sapphire when she foolishly tries to get him to write his opinion of her. No cuts noted.

The Cursed Swan: Swan Lake? The daughter of the hourglass toting Garigory ('Gregory') dubbed 'Gary' & several others are transformed into swans. Hekate 'Zenda'? celebrates her 13th birthday. Her papa Mephisto wants Sapphire's male heart "to make his daughter Hekate a grand witch." (
page for PK). I am confused, as in the manga, they want Sapphire's female heart to make Hekate a proper bride for Franz, whose kingdom's riches The Hell's covet. About 12 to 15 cuts noted; mainly the demons.

The Mysterious Mirror: "Snow White" story. Compare to Melmo's
Let's Bully Snow White. I believe the Japanese versions of the "Mirror, Mirror" question are the same in both.
Anyway, this one is rather funny, as once the Mirror 'sees' Sapphire, though dressed as a male, it names her as the fairest, etc., & poor Sapphire tries to demonstrate her boyish toughness by provoking fights with rather large men.
Bella, the woman with the mirror & the ego, then falls in love with Sapphire, whom she believes her mirror has mistaken for a girl. A few cuts noted.

The Seven Kid Goats A woff in sheep's clothing had adopted the kid goats. The ELV makes her say that her husband ate the mother goat, & she feels bad, so she adopted them. I doubt this, because there is no husband, but a huge bear, instead. Anyway, Sapphire dons the goat skin, and lures away the bear. I forgot the #, but MA B&W has an episode called
Space Spider, in which Atom & Uran wear sheep skins.
Two cuts noted.
