This episode is adaptation of the Anpanman book of the same name that marks Baikinman's first appearance. Said book was also adapted in the 1984 pilot from the "ohanashi" series. The plot is pretty much the same with evan some smilar imagery but while the 1984 verson is a one to one recreation of the original book the 1988 verson made some changes and aditions.
Lots of animation was reused both form episode 1 and this very episode.

Anpanman was flying around when he heard someone crying. Turns out Baikinman was harassing a star child. Anpanman helps the star child but Baikinman shot him whit one of his wepons and started licking and spining around Anpanman with his big blue tounge. But sundenly Baikinman feels something in his tounge: It was spicy curry! Baikinman ran around desperately and soon the responsable for this showed up: A new bread super hero! He introuced himself as Currypanman. Baikinman then ran away after currypanman threatened to spit even spicyer curry in his tounge. Anpanman then introduces himself to Currypanman who says he's too "Sweet" (note: in japanese sweet mosty means naive) to be a strong figther. Currypanman later asks Anpanman who made him wich Anpanman replys that uncle Jam made him. Currypanman then says "uncle Jam? no way!" The star child, who introduced himself as Lunlun was hungry and so both Anpanman and Currypanman offered a piece of this façe and curry respectivly.

Trivia[]
This was the very frist time Anpanman used his "Anpunch" in the anime. Though he said the atack's name with a diferent intonation than he usualy does.
In this episode is stated that uncle Jam made Currypanman wich is also true in one of the versons of the manga. But since this was never brougth up again and his charter song says "no one knows where he came from" this may or may not have been retconed.
Lunlun is based on a character with the same name and nearly same look from the 'Fly! Anpanman; Anpanman and Omusbiman" musical, however he differs in some detals, in that musical Lunlun was confirmed a girl, being a princess and such, this verson of Lunlun is more gender ambiguous but can be assumed to be male.
