Super Psychic Policeman Chojo Episode 1 Preview
Episode 1 adapts the first chapter of the manga, titled “The Psychic Senior Police Officer.” The story begins with Nao Ippongi, a 19-year-old judo expert, arriving at the West Chinjuku Police Station for her first day. She soon learns that her new partner is Meguru Chojo, a senior officer with psychic powers who is disliked by the entire neighborhood.
Chojo uses his abilities for petty things, like helping people remember passwords or showing off to kids. He avoids real police work and spends his shifts playing around. Nao is frustrated by his attitude and his lack of seriousness.
The turning point comes when yakuza members threaten to take over Nao’s family dojo. These are the same gang members Nao had defeated before she became a police officer. Chojo steps in and uses his psychic powers to defeat the gang, showing that he does care about protecting the neighborhood. After this, Chojo begins to take his job more seriously, and the two form an unlikely partnership.
