Muujo is punished by a spanking machine in the Japanese cartoon Zenderman.
Back in 2009, someone posted a short clip of an animated cartoon on Anime OTK with a pretty blonde girl getting whacked by a spanking machine. We went ahead and extracted a still frame from the clip and then used it in a brief page on spanking machines, but had no further information about it, nor did we post an extract since CSR did not have a Video Section at that time. Recently however, Roger Pyoko posted a number of clips from the Japanese cartoon Zenderman (possibly also rendered in English as "Zendaman") on YouTube, and we recognized the series at once as the source of the spanking machine clip. Needless to say, we decided to investigate further, and this page is the result of what we found.
Our three villains in fairly transparent disguise visit the old man each week and steal something from him.
And what exactly did we find, you ask? To begin with, we identified the episode in which the spanking machine was used, and we'll present our clip of that scene a little later. We also found that the spankee was a villainess named Muujo, and that each episode featured a punishment of one of the three villains (Muujo has two cohorts whose names we're not sure of, but they really don't matter anyway). By screening portions of all fifty-two episodes, we also found that Muujo was groped, stripped (several times), paddled, and caned! Naturally, we've prepared extracts of the relevant scenes for the delectation of CSR readers. Of course, Muujo being groped and stripped isn't as good as her being spanked, but we found it fascinating to see such treatment in a cartoon. And then again there are those three spankings - adequate compensation for what must have been at least twenty hours spent screening, editing, and converting the videos.
So let's begin at the beginning: what is Zenderman? It was a 1979 Japanese cartoon series that has never appeared in America as far as we know, which is why all the dialogue on the clips here is in Japanese. That made it difficult for us to figure out what was going on, but here is our understanding:
The villains steal from the old man. (Still frame from episode 34).
An old man named Dr. Monja has invented a time machine to search for the Elixir of Life. In every episode, the three villains go in disguise to see him and steal something from him. This enables them to use their own time machine to go back into the past and cause some kind of trouble while they also search for the Elixir. The old man sends a team of good guys after them, said good guys consisting of a teen-age boy and girl (who don't really do much apart from some ritual dancing), a good little robot, and their good-guy time-travelling machine that looks something like a steam locomotive.
Under the direction of the little robot, the good guys mount a counterattack against the villains, and the good machine winds up destroying the bad machine, leaving the villains defeated and somewhat the worse for wear. But their problems aren't over: they belong to some sort of evil society, which we think is called "Akudaman," and must face judgment for their failure by what we're going to call The Forfeit Machine.
The Forfeit Machine renders judgment and imposes punishment upon one villain for the trio's collective failure.
The Forfeit Machine renders judgment upon the trio, singling out one of the three for special punishment (we think whichever one was most responsible for blowing it that week). The punishment always involves some crazy machine (not just a spanking machine, alas), and the villains' cat watches the punishment in satisfaction and sometimes even participates in it!
Interestingly, the heroes don't even appear in the show's closing credits, which focuses on the villains. Let's take a look at a brief (in more ways than one) clip from those credits in which Muujo seems to be taking down her panties for some reason (a spanking should surely have followed):
