Workers filed through Yamani Studios. A forklift operator moved several film reels into Sound Stage 4 near a stockade of drums filled with caustic chemicals. He never noticed some fall over onto the chemicals and left the stage. A strange reaction occurred and a trail of Ectoplasm flowed outside through a hole in the wall and down into the sewers. Nearby, a boy named Kenji read an issue of Monster Magazine under a tree. Three boys picked on Kenji and stole his hat. Kenji chased them to a foot bridge where one of the bullies tosses his hat into the river. Kenji watched as the Ectoplasm flow carried the hat out to Tokyo Bay. Out in the bay, fisherman pulled up a net covered in slime. Suddenly, a giant seaweed monster emerged from the Ectoplasm and attacked the fishing boat. The men watched as it swam to shore and attacked. As everyone fled the monster, Kenji arrived and recognized it as Nori-ra.
The Ghostbusters and Slimer arrived at Tokyo Airport to a modest procession. As their theme played, the Ghostbusters traded customary bows with dignitaries. Much to Ray's surprise, Slimer was more famous in Japan than the Ghostbusters were. While a crowd clamored around Slimer, the guys met Chief Inspector Ogata. He ushered them to a V.I.P. tunnel. Ray grabbed Slimer. Kenji slipped past the barricade and tried to get the Ghostbusters' attention but a police officer held him back. While on the ride to meet with technicians, Ogata gave the guys photographs of the monster. Ray couldn't help but notice something familiar about it. Ogata received a call on his wrist communicator and learned the monster was back. Outside the airport, Ogata provided them keys to some personal transportation - Ecto-Ichi and gave Egon a Mini-Phone communicator watch so he could converse with headquarters. As the guys drove off, Kenji rode his bicycle but they thought he was just a fan and kept driving.
Eventually, the guys encountered traffic. While trying to look for the button to trigger the red lights, they were rather overwhelmed by all the choices - laser disc, CD, onboard computer, and even a fax machine. Peter tried but activated a loudspeaker system instead. Egon tried one but shifted Ecto to a hover craft mode and it took off. They sighted the monster and opened fire but the Proton Streams went right through it. Egon got out his P.K.E. Meter and took some readings. He advised everyone to try a setting of 4000. Ecto-Ichi circled around and the guys blasted the monster again. This time is worked and the monster vaporized like an old film feel coming apart. Egon confirmed there was no trace of Psychomagnotheric residue. As Ecto-Ichi landed on the shore, Kenji caught up to them again. Ray recognized him as the boy from the airport. Kenji declared to them the monster was Nori-ra. Ray got the name instantly and recalled the monster they just fought was from a 1960s movie called "Lizardo Meets Nori-ra." Winston and Egon were intrigued by the implications but Peter wrote it off and was eager to party in Tokyo, all expenses paid.
A giant crab monster soon emerged from the Ectoplasm flow. Since it was bigger than Nori-ra, the Proton Streams passed through it. While Egon recalculated for the size differential, Slimer summoned up his courage and slimed the crab monster in the eyes. Ray believed it was the same monster from "Lizardo and The Crab Monster from Space." Egon had everyone boost to 9000 and they vaporized the crab monster. Peter and Winston quickly noticed their packs were drained and out of power. Egon wanted to take the investigation to the movie studio Kenji mentioned earlier. Winston wanted to know how many Lizardo movies first. After Kenji replied 12, Winston wasn't anymore relieved. Outside Yamani Studios, Kenji showed the guys the Ectoplasm flow - which was the result of a complex ectoplasmic chemical chain reaction. He sent Slimer up the drain pipe to trace the slime's path. Slimer obeyed and found himself in Sound Stage 4 just as the next manifestation took place. Slimer vacated and warned the guys as Lizardo emerged from the studio. They made a calculated retreat and tried to keep up with it in Ecto-Ichi while the military tried to stop Lizardo. Egon delivered news they needed a gigawatt of auxiliary energy to achieve the frequency required to destabilize Lizardo. Kenji pointed out the Tokyo Tower as a power source. In the movies, it was where Lizardo fought the Dreaded California Roll.
