Episode 1 of Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san (Mr. Villain's Day Off) tells the story of Mr. Villain, a high-ranking officer of the Evil League, who spends his day off trying to eradicate humanity. The episode is lighthearted and follows Mr. Villain's activities outside of work, focusing on his love for pandas and his efforts to avoid fights and work-related encounters.
The episode begins with Mr. Villain visiting a zoo, where he expresses his love for fluffy things, especially pandas, and takes numerous photos of them. He dreams of a world where he can breed pandas once humanity is extinct. At the zoo, he encounters children who share his excitement for the pandas.
Mr. Villain's main goal is to avoid work on his day off. He narrowly escapes running into his colleague Rooney in the city and later pretends not to recognize him when Rooney mentions seeing Mr. Villain in a store.
A significant part of the episode revolves around Mr. Villain's encounter with Red, a member of the Rangers, who challenges him to a fight. Mr. Villain proposes a truce, citing their shared love for pandas, which he doesn’t want to scare away. He even helps Red, who is bad with directions, by showing him the way to the aquarium.
Throughout the episode, Mr. Villain expresses caution toward the Rangers and the need to avoid them to preserve his peaceful day off. Despite his role in the Evil League, his interactions are often humorous and reveal a softer side, particularly his love for pandas and ice cream.
One day, Mr. Villain visits a grocery store, fascinated by the variety of products. He briefly gets annoyed when he finds no red sweet potato soft serve but settles for a strawberry mochi bar instead. He decides to try the new flavor and vows revenge if it doesn’t taste good.
The episode also includes a humorous moment when Mr. Villain, mistaken for a father, ends up buying ice cream for two children, Sora and Mugi, and takes them to the lost children’s center.
In the end, Mr. Villain reflects on his day off, emphasizing the importance of sleeping well, eating well, and not working. He ponders the diversity of Earth and its "disease called cuteness," referring to the animals he encountered. The episode concludes with Mr. Villain’s appreciation for Earth’s impressive nature, symbolized by the pandas and other creatures he admires.
