Spoilers. Blah blah blah. Rough.
Episode 5 begins with Naota and Haruko in an airgun battle against Kamon and Canti. Kamon challenged Naota to a battle over Haruko because after being turned down (smacked through a wall) by Haruko he saw Naota kissing Haruko. Not one to have his pride smashed up by a little boy (regardless of Naota's desire NOT to kiss Haruko, and the only reason said kiss took place was because of his new horn)...so he challenges him to a fight. I am not sure how the rules of this game work out, but I would guess its like paintball...only Naota and Canti seem to shoot each other a little too much, but hey its anime.
While Naota and Kamon are having thier little fight, Kitsurubami parks her car up on the bridge overlooking the fight. She pops out of the sun roof with a huge ass gun (someone once told me what exactly the gun was, something like an Anti-tank rifle). She is planning on shooting Canti. She is also talking on the phone with Amarao who is issuing the order. She questions the use of force, and whether they are really supposed to destroy Canti. Amarao says they'll get clearance from the MM after the fact. Here the relationship between Amarao's organization and the MM becomes clear. Amarao's organization is like an intermediatary, between the MM and the earth government. MM wants Canti back. Amarao is "supposed" to get Canti back....but as we see in Episode 6, Amarao isnt really that loyal to his contract with the MM. He knows what the MM really are, and he knows what Canti really is. He also doesnt want MM to get Canti, so he is going to destroy Canti (well, have Kitsurubami, destroy him anyways) and just tell MM "whoops". Basically.
Anyways, Kitsurubami fires at Canti, and Haruko jumps in the way and slaps the bullet back towards Kitsurubami, destroying her car. Kitsurubami starts saying “Blue, blue, blue” referring to Canti’s color. In the subtitles she will make a pun about the spelling of a fish (mackaral, I think. I dont recall off hand) in Japanese, confusing it with something else. Since puns rarely translate well, the dub track changed the end of Kitsurubami’s little monolouge to make a joke about the confusion between android/cyborg/robot. Kitsurubami ends up in the river after the explosion, and Kamon somehow gets out of the game (gets shot? I guess). Haruko leaves. So its up to Naota and Canti. They are fighting when Naota's school friends (Ninamori, Gaku, and uhh...ummm...crap) show up in a truck. Gaku drives it around making deliveries. This surprises Naota (perhaps he is surpised that someone like Gaku could have that kind of responsibility?). Naota also becomes incredibly embarrassed that they saw him "playing around", though his friends dont seem to mind (Naota thinks they will think he is immature for playing guns and soldiers and crap). He tells Canti to go get some drinks. Canti flies off. Naota and Ninamori, Gaku and the other guy talk. They say that their are rumors about Naota saving the town. Naota's horn clicks. They notice that Mamimi was up on the bridge watching them.
Meanwhile, we see Amarao getting his hair done. A lady pushes him back to wash his hair, note how concerned he is with the style/color/eyebrows of his hair. He thinks they make him manly and masculine and adult. Anyways, the girl who dumps his head underwater to wash it turns out to be Haruko. Amarao freaks, and pulls out his gun. Haruko and Amarao have a stand off. Then Amarao calls in his buddies. "I am not a kid anymore, you know. I am old enough to take out insurance policies." (badly quoted from Amarao. I love that quote, heh). Awesome fight scene takes place. Haruko kicsk the crap out of Amarao's men.
Canti returns to the river, he comes near Kitsurubami (who is sitting in the river). Kitsurubami freaks out, cause she thinks Canti is dangerous. Canti offers his hand to help her get up. Kitsurubami falls in love.
Naota goes to see Mamimi. He talks to her, and she seems kinda out of it. Naota, being cocky and full of himself from saving the town in episode 4, wants to tell Mamimi that he likes her...but Mamimi kinda reveals that she doesnt really like Naota. Ahh, poor Naota. Well, that does it, and his horn errupts. Out comes with huge robot. Naota and Mamimi end up on the robots head, and Mamimi keeps chanting for Naota's brother to save her. This pisses Naota off, because HE is the one who promised to protect her. Naota calls for Canti. Canti appears. Naota willingly merges with Canti (but notice when the jaws shut Naota doesnt seem to be in complete control...).
Back to Haruko and Amarao...they are fighting. They end up outside. Some settles, and they both notice the new MM robot. Amarao is missing his eyebrows. Haruko uses him to open a N-O Channel to pull out a weapon to fight the new robot. She gets a dinky little guitar. She makes the comment about how Naota is more manly than Amarao ever will be. You could take that a few ways, as I am sure you did. Haruko changes and surfs towards the robot. Canti and Haruko fight the robot. Canti shoots the robot, blah blah blah, they win. Notice that the bullet that Canti shot ended up being Naota. Naota doesnt really control Canti. Remember in Ep 1 or 2 he says he couldnt remember what happened after Canti swallowed him? Yeah, he doesnt really control Canti. He is just sorta necessary to get Canti to function correctly. Haruko gets all googly eyed when looking at Canti afterwards. Probably sense Atomsk power in him and stuff. Atomsk seems to be quite he ladies man..uhh bird.
