Plot[]
As the summer vacation from Kirakira Elementary School approaches, Yuto was joyful but Wanda was feeling hot and bothered. So Yuto and Wanda decide to visit Jii Yoda's sweet shop to solve their boiling, hot problem with some delicious ice-cream.
At Yoda Sweets, Wanda finds a chicken karage-flavored Boribori-kun popsicle while Yuto finds a small tub of strawberry ice-cream. The two then asked Jii Yoda if they can purchase their ice-cream. As Yuto and Wanda eat their ice-cream, Jii Yoda's electric fan stopped working and Yuto didn't see it happening. Jii Yota tried to fix it and explained that his electric fan has old memories with him and his wife Baa Yoda. When they were young, their electric fan was working properly and their sweet shop had many customers. Later, young Baa Yota told young Jii Yota to take care of the electric fan.
Wanda cried as he heard Jii Yoda's story. Jii Yoda was told to put his electric fan out because it was too old. However Wanda asked Yuto to fix the electric fan. Yuto agrees and asked Jii Yoda to fix his electric fan for him. Jii Yoda happily accepted it.
At Hobby Kamiya, while Wanda was reading some of Yuto's Ponkan Comic issues, Yuto was fixing Jii Yoda's electric fan and made it work again but Wanda told him to let Wanda himself handle fixing it first. However, the electric fan came apart and Wanda felt sorry for ruining it. Yuto fixed Jii Yoda's fan all night long that he was tired.
The next day at Yoda Sweets, Mirai and Shuu were picking for some sweets when Yuto and Wanda arrive with Jii Yoda's electric fan. Mirai and Shuu were curious about that. Wanda explains that the electric fan was from Jii Yoda's shop and Yuto fixed it. The electric fan was moved properly and Wanda was talked about the D.N.A and 'manners'. That manner was talking to electric fan. Shuu explained a science fact about when anyone is talking to electric fan's wings. Jii Yoda tells the 3 kids and Wanda the good old things may be looking like ordinary things but it has good relationship with then. Shuu and Mirai remind their parents with similar ways. After that, the electric fan has stopped working and Yuto had to go and fix it again.
Meanwhile, Terara, Megaga and Gigaga were resting behind a billboard due to the hot weather. That was until a cicada came and distracted the three with its loud chirping noises. Terara wished for some cool air and she casted a handful of her Wazawai Program up into the sky. When Yuto was going back to Hobby Kamiya to fix Jii Yoda's electric fan again, the Wazawai Program landed onto it, causing its wings to move. Yuto tried to stop it. However, the electric fan moved recklessly. Wanda grabbed its plug to stop it but it started to move even more recklessly. So Yuto and Wanda tried to stop it together. However, the strong wind from the electric fan flew Wanda off. Wanda felt like it was a Bugmin that caused it. Wanda took out his Kamiwaza Searcher and he points it at Jii Yoda's electric fan, revealing Bug-Senpuumin.
Yuto tried to stop Bug-Senpuumin. However, Bug-Senpuumin flew both of Yuto and Wanda away. Yuto and Wanda both crash into a wall. Bug-Senpuumin laughed and then escaped, making trouble everywhere in Kirakira First Street while Yuto and Wanda see stars and birds. Mirai and Shuu found Bug-Senpuumin too and were going to chase that Bugmin with Yuto and Wanda. However, Bug-Senpuumin was too fast and he was in the air, making more trouble at Teru's Wagashi Shop, blowing Ichiban-Hoshi Teru's wig off, and sent a jogging group flying too. Bug-Senpuumin even attacked a sushi bar, Kohinata Flower Shop and even Tateishi Side Dish Store. He then caused a giant tornado, causing each and every shop at Kirakira First Street have closed their doors.
Wanda knew that Jii Yoda's precious electric fan is also precious to Baa Yoda as well. The Bug Bytes were watching to see how Bug-Senpuumin is doing when Bug-Senpuumin aimed the electric fan at them. They got blown away, damaging the billboard in the process. Bug-Senpuumin then waved goodbye at the Bug Bytes.
As Nicole made a radio broadcast about Kirakira First Street's current weather conditions, Yuto and Wanda decide to deal Bug-Senpuumin once and for all even though it was a tough encountering. Yuto summons Tonkamin in order to build a large shield to block the wind. However. the wind strikes in another direction so Yuto got Tonkamin to build a giant wall, surrounding Bug-Senpuumin, in order to protect Kirakira First Street.
Inside the wall, Yuto and his team were going to deal Bug-Senpuumin. However, Bug-Senpuumin tried to escape by bumping Jii Yoda's electric fan at the wall. Wanda and the team were shocked. Wanda grabbed the electric fan just to try and stop Bug-Senpuumin. He also tried to retrieve the electric fan as well. However, Bug-Senpuumin was angry and he flew everywhere, taking Wanda and electric fan with him. Yuto told Wanda to let go of the electric fan but Wanda wanted to protect it as it was because it has memories of Jii Yota and his wife. Wanda fell from the electric fan and Yuto saved him. However, Wanda was just got dizzy. Shuu explained the reason why and Yuto got the hint from it. In order to make Bug-Senpuumin dizzy, Yuto summons one more Promin: Turbomin.
Turbomin jumps onto the wall, jumps back off it and runs around, causing Bug-Senpuumin to spin around even when he was going to fight back and let loose another tornado with the electric fan. Luckly, Turbomin managed to make Bug-Senpuumin dizzy and drop the electric fan. At last, Yuto captures and debugs Bug-Senpuumin.
As the sun sets, Yuto fixes the electric fan once again with help from Wanda. The next day, Yuto brought the electric fan back to Yoda Sweets. Wanda thanks Baa Yoda, thinking that she had passed away, However, Baa Yoda appeared as she just returned from her break at the Japanese spa. Baa Yoda then asks Jii Yoda to buy an air conditioner to freshen up the sweet shop, causing everyone else, excluding Jii Yoda, to faint.
