===The Summer Camp Incident===
[[File:Koichi Mugikari Hornet Stare.png|Koichi stumbles upon B.T.'s hornet|thumb|right]]
Koichi presents a disturbing incident that happened the last summer. In a summer camp, the present children were bullied by two upperclassmen, '''Kuroyama''' and '''Akagawa'''. However, [[B.T.]] was the only one immune to their taunting and was even defiant so the bullies decided to beat him up. For trying to help B.T., Koichi too was beaten.
Afterward, the children were shown playing by the lake, with Kuroyama putting a dragonfly in Akagawa's swimming pants for kicks. Koichi surprised B.T. with a sedated Japanese hornet in his hands. B.T. put the hornet in Kuroyama's jacket, also finding a knife in his clothes. However, it was Akagawa who was stung by the hornet which he found in his pocket instead, confusing Koichi. Later that night, Kuroyama was found stabbed in the guts with a knife. At first, Koichi believed that B.T. was the culprit but the boy explained that Akagawa did it and that he would get away with it since the camp's staff would silence the incident. Indeed, B.T. pushed Akagawa to stab Kuroyama by telling the bully that he saw his "friend" put something in his clothes earlier, referring to the dragonfly but letting Akagawa assume it was the hornet.<ref>{{Ch|CSBT Chapter 2}}</ref>

===The Two Old Guys Incident===
[[File:Koichi Mugikari Caught and Punished.png|Caught and punished by [[
Koichi and [[B.T.]] go fishing in the countryside, but their day is ruined when two strange men confront them. Those men are two thugs disguised as soldiers who kill animals for the kicks and take the kids prisoner. B.T. adopts a defiant attitude, amusing the leader who decides to make a bet. The soldier ties B.T.'s foot to the rear of a parked car nearby and asks B.T. to choose whether it will go left or right at the next intersection. If B.T. guesses right, a knife on the way will be available for the kid to free himself or else B.T. will be dragged across a harsh rocky road. B.T. chooses the left and the car does turn left; far from being lucky, B.T. has only analyzed the car's license plate and guessed its town of origin to know its most probable trajectory.

===The Eerie Freckled Boy Incident===
[[File:BT Finds Freckled Kid.png|Koichi's family and B.T. stumble across the [[Freckled Boy]] after he is "hit" by their car|thumb|left]]
One day, Koichi's family is about to go out. Incidentally, [[B.T.]] discovers Koichi's well-trained dog. Just as it exits the garage, the family's car bumps into something and the family sees that they've hurt a freckled boy, later revealed to be named [[Manabu]]. The boy is fine but Koichi's parents feel guilty and invite him inside their home, hoping to not let the police know about the incident. Manabu quickly overstays his welcome, eating directly in the fridge and "borrowing" Koichi's clothes but Koichi's family do not know what they ought to do.
The next day, Manabu takes a liking to Koichi's dog and tries to make a bet. B.T. accepts on Koichi's behalf and the two boys each place a candy near an anthill to see whichever candy the ants will go to first. Amazingly, Manabu's candy is picked by the ant and he wins the dog. It is explained that last night, Manabu had placed insect repellent near the anthill and made it so B.T. would put his candy here. Next, Manabu's family arrives but instead of picking up their son, they pressure Koichi's family into letting them stay. The boy eventually privately gloats to Koichi and B.T. that his family has already intimidated the father into servitude and is planning to ruin him. B.T. decides to save Koichi's family.

Fuyuko is declared innocent and freed while the real murderer is imprisoned. However, Koichi has in his possession a photo of Fuyuko stealing a wristwatch. Koichi anxiously realizes that Fuyuko was also being blackmailed for her crimes. Worse, perhaps she actually intended to kill the reporter and made up the assault story to cover up her crime.<ref>{{Ch|CSBT Chapter 0}}</ref>

===Cool Shock Old B.T.===▼
{{Canon}}
===[[Cool Shock Guy B.T.]]===
In the year 202X, Koichi is now a young man in his twenties or early thirties. He pays a visit to his old friend [[B.T.]] in Las Vegas, where he works at the Dinosaur Hotel as a stage magician. After witnessing one of B.T.'s performances, Koichi and B.T. share a moment in the latter's hotel room. Koichi wonders that B.T. must be living his dream to perform magic tricks onstage in Las Vegas, but B.T. expresses boredom and confesses he's also been hired for another job.
Suddenly, one of the hotel's [[Dinosaur Hotel Bunny Girl|bunny girls]] barges into the room, declaring that there is a "bizarre" person in the casino hall. They all go to the surveillance room from which the security personnel can see all security footage in the building, and they focus on a mysterious gambler dressed like a western gunslinger playing at the roulette.
The gambler, [[Mike Harper]], waits for the dealer to release their ball into the roulette and confidently bets on the number 26. The ball indeed lands in the 26th slot, and he wins 36 times his bet. Mike has won 35 times in a row already, and thus B.T. comes to meet the gambler at the table while Koichi remains in the surveillance room. The bunny girl explains that B.T. has been hired to reclaim chips from gamblers having unusual winning streaks in exchange for his magic show, but Koichi understands that B.T. actually enjoys playing these high-stakes games.
Koichi nervously observes as B.T. challenges Mike at one game of roulette with no limits on the bet. B.T. first checks whether the roulette wheel is unbalanced, and Mike guesses that all the balls B.T. has thrown will land on prime numbers. He guesses right, which shocks Koichi. However, when the real game starts, B.T. unnerves Mike by suddenly making a cigarette appear. Mike thus hastily bets all in on red, but the ball lands on the 00 slot, which is blank, and thus he loses everything. Enraged, Mike pulls out his handgun and tries to shoot B.T., but B.T. quickly flicks roulette balls onto the Mike's face and hand, neutralizing him.
Later, in the hotel room, Koichi admires that B.T. was rewarded with 30% of the winnings. He asks B.T. how he pulled off his victory. B.T. reveals that Mike must have hacked into the hotel's security surveillance system and analyze all the footage with artificial intelligence in order to be able to predict the slot the ball would land in. This explains why Mike always waited after the throw to place his bet. However, B.T. lit a cigarette so that the smoke would lightly obscure the spinning wheel from the cameras, which would throw off the algorithm and ruin the plan. Thus, Mike tried to quickly find a solution and placed his bet on a color, either red or black. Furthermore, B.T. lured Mike into a false sense of security: his wheel check was done so that Mike would think B.T. couldn't decide where the balls he'd throw would land when the wheel was spinning, but B.T. was actually skilled enough to do so even with the spinning wheel, and he threw his ball so as to make the ball land in the 00 slot.
Koichi finds the plan crazy and asks what would have happened if any step of B.T.'s plan went awry, to which B.T. states that he would have lost everything, though he nostalgically says that it would have been like their simpler childhood. This conversation concluded, B.T. proposes that they play poker, but Koichi passes on gambling and asks that B.T. shows him more magic tricks instead.
▲===[[Cool Shock Old B.T.]]===
Several memories show that B.T. and Koichi have maintained a close friendship throughout their entire lives. These memories include: B.T. helping Koichi put on a tie as children, young B.T. and Koichi taking photos, young B.T. and Koichi looking at Switzerland watch models, teenage B.T. and Koichi playing rugby, an adult B.T. giving a speech at Koichi's wedding, Koichi letting B.T. carry his son, B.T., and Koichi together at the release of Koichi's Cool Shock B.T. novel, Koichi surprised to see B.T.'s excavation of a Spinosaurus skeleton displayed at a museum, Koichi supporting B.T. at a magic show, B.T. comforting Koichi at a funeral, an elderly B.T. and Koichi posing in front of a Sherlock Holmes statue, Koichi and B.T. vacationing at Hawaii, and B.T. slicing an apple for Koichi while he's at the hospital.
====[[CSOBT Chapter 1|The Eerie Freckled Old Geezer Incident]]====
At some point, Koichi gets married and has a son. When he is 35, he writes a novel based on the events of ''[[Cool Shock B.T.]]'' and asks [[Rohan Kishibe]] to draw the cover for him. When Koichi is around 59 years old, his son moves to the city.
Line 101 ⟶ 131:
B.T. finds the contract of Koichi's old house in the safe but it'll take some time for him to get it back. He allows Koichi to stay over at his house for the time being, insisting that his [[B.T.'s Grandmother|grandmother]] would be happy to see him. However, since B.T.'s tire was punctured by the sword, they'll have to walk all the way there. B.T. steals a wallet he found in the safe, as he and Koichi prepare to go on the long trek back home. Koichi narrates that despite still being a wicked boy at his old age, B.T. is still his best friend.<ref>[[Cool Shock Old B.T.]]</ref>
====[[CSOBT Chapter 2|The "Say Hi to Old Virginia" Incident]]====
The year is 2060. B.T. and Koichi are now in their 90s but their friendship remains as strong as ever. Koichi appears as the narrator again as he and B.T. have flown together into space aboard B.T.'s private spaceship [[COOL SHOCK]]. Koichi points out that in the novel ''{{W|2061: Odyssey Three}}'', mankind had already been able to land on {{W|Halley's Comet}}, yet B.T. and Koichi have only just managed to escape Earth's gravitational field. As Koichi presents the current incident, their robot, [[Echoes ACT4]], hands him an abalone risotto porridge it cooked.
While he's eating, the ship receives a transmission on a nearby monitor. Koichi knocks on the screen since the feed is initially fuzzy. A mysterious silhouette appears, greeting Koichi with his name and informing him that although he holds no grudges against Koichi, he planted two bombs on their ship. One of the bombs is by their escape pod, whereas a much bigger one, called "Old Virginia", is right next to their engine. The bomber tells Koichi to greet Old Virginia before he hangs up.
B.T. and Koichi head to the escape pod cockpit and see the [[Sheer Heart Attack|first bomb]]. B.T. warns Koichi not to touch it, since it's likely a {{W|Thermobaric weapon|vacuum bomb}}. Koichi worries about B.T. smoking next to it, but B.T. doesn't care. He finds a note attached to the bomb, displaying a mini-{{W|shogi}} puzzle with the opponent's gold general piece on 3a, the opponent's king piece on 1a, the player's rook piece on 3c, and the player's pawn piece on 2c. Koichi realizes that the note mentions that there is a passcode, so they will most likely be able to disarm the bomb if they solve the puzzle. B.T. claims to only know how to play chess, so he lets Koichi solve the puzzle instead. Koichi has to get a checkmate within three moves. He quickly deduces that it's possible by moving the rook to 3a and promoting it, moving the king to 1b, and moving the promoted rook to 2b. B.T. then deciphers the passcode by imagining that the squares on the shogi board are like the keys on a numeric keypad, so the current placements of the shogi pieces would equal to "765" based on the order of the moves Koichi made.
B.T. inputs the passcode on the control panel attached to the bomb, successfully disarming it. The bomb gets crushed into the ground when it deactivates. Koichi is happy that they can now evacuate, but B.T. doesn't want to since they're having fun and there's still one more bomb left. Assuming the bomber was challenging him to a battle of wits, B.T. is determined to stop the second bomb and punish the bomber.
The duo head to the engine room where they encounter "Old Virginia", a large bomb that looks like an orange. B.T. assumes that the bomber went with such a huge bomb because of the engine room being the most durable part of the ship. Old Virginia displays a countdown timer with about eight minutes left. However, B.T. realizes that there is no way to disarm it, as the bomber did not leave any puzzle, buttons, codes, or control panel. Koichi suggests that they should head back to the escape pod or try lowering the oxygen levels in the room so that the vacuum bomb won't be able to explode, but B.T. declares that both solutions are impossible as they would take too long.
The elderly duo accept their impending deaths. B.T. apologizes to Koichi for showing a lackluster side of himself in the end. Koichi is shocked, as that is the first time B.T. has apologized to him in almost 80 years. Both of them laugh and share stories of all the good and sad memories they had together throughout their lives. Their memories include the following: B.T. helping Koichi put on a tie as children, young B.T. and Koichi taking photos, young B.T. and Koichi looking at Switzerland watch models, teenage B.T. and Koichi playing rugby, an adult B.T. giving a speech at Koichi's wedding, Koichi letting B.T. carry his [[Koichi Mugikari's Son|son]], B.T., and Koichi together at the release of Koichi's ''Cool Shock B.T.'' novel, Koichi surprised to see B.T.'s excavation of a {{W|Spinosaurus}} skeleton displayed at a museum, Koichi supporting B.T. at a magic show, B.T. comforting Koichi at a funeral, an elderly B.T. and Koichi posing in front of a {{W|Sherlock Holmes}} statue, Koichi and B.T. vacationing at Hawaii, and B.T. slicing an apple for Koichi while he's at the hospital.
Koichi mimics B.T.'s palm trick that he did during a magic show in Vegas. Afterward, he wonders what happened to the smaller bomb that B.T. disarmed. B.T. reveals that he brought the bomb with him, carrying it in his suit's pocket. The bomb is active again, due to a plan B.T. was saving as a last resort in case something happened. He declares that he isn't running away. Echoes ACT4 carries the smaller bomb to Old Virginia. As the robot squeezes the smaller bomb, it explodes and sets off the second bomb. At that moment, the surrounding oxygen in the air is consumed by the first bomb, creating a vacuum, which minimizes the second bomb's explosion. Koichi thanks Echoes ACT4 for its sacrifice. Despite both explosions, the first bomb is actually still unscathed, though it's no longer dangerous to them.
The bomber greets Koichi and B.T. on their monitor. He is disappointed that he couldn't hear them scream, but reveals that he's parked right next to their ship and will warp himself into theirs, determined to make them his slaves. B.T. realizes that the bomber is [[Manabu]] and predicts that Manabu will be the one screaming instead. Surprised, Manabu suddenly notices that his ship is about to collide with a meteorite. As he crashes into it, B.T. announces that he hacked Manabu's ship and redirected it to head to the oncoming meteorite.
Finally, B.T. declares that they need to follow that meteorite, divulging the real reason he invited Koichi onto the ship. He heard a rumor from his [[B.T.'s Grandmother|grandmother]] that somewhere in space, there's an [[Kars|ultimate lifeform]] floating around who could grant them eternal life if they recover it. Shocked, Koichi agrees to follow B.T. until the end of the universe, since they'll be best friends forever.
