🔥 KEY MOMENTS
📍 ARC CONTEXT
Sitting well past the midpoint of the 694-episode run, Episode 497 continues a stretch of episodic Kemumaki-driven pranks, following Episode 496's electricity-themed gag involving Kio and preceding Episode 498's escalation where Kemumaki recruits Shishimaru and Kio to target Hattori directly. This cluster of episodes reinforces the Hattori-Kemumaki rivalry as the show's comedic backbone while keeping each installment self-contained.
