On his way home from school, Natsume spots a white dragon disappearing over the mountain, scattering tiny lights as it goes. From that day, he occasionally sees glimpses of the dragon, a creature said to bring good fortune. Determined to see it more clearly, Natsume sets out to follow the dragon with Nyanko-sensei, who’s eager to catch sight of it too, though it keeps slipping away.

One day, they come across Mr. Mustache looking downcast. When they ask why, Mr. Mustache explains that a beautiful comb he cherished has broken. Since then, Natsume has been thinking about finding a replacement for Mr. Mustache's broken comb. With an idea in mind and some help from the curious members of the Dog Circle, he resumes the search for the white dragon.

Nice looking dragon.

Nyanko-sensei always manages to amuse me. :3

It was fun to see Chobihige a.k.a Mr. Mustache and the rest of the Dog Circle again.

So, that dragon was Chobi all along. Wow. Cool twist.

I don't see why Natsume doesn't just ride his bike. He may not be able to ride on the mountainsides, but he could cover a lot of distance to catch up if he rode along roads.

Holy shit, Chobi was the beautiful white dragon all along!? What a reveal after 7 seasons. Nice whiskers. He probably stays in that transformed state most of the time and hides his identity from his friends to avoid unwanted attention since dragons are so revered, and people would even flock to catch a glimpse of him, whether to admire his beauty or for a sign of a good omen.

One of the most unexpected yet great episodes.

So, at first he was upset when he realized that they were chasing his scale without knowing that he was a dragon, but then he accepted it as a precious gift, realizing how hard they tried for the sake of a comforting gift for him?

Usually the only import to a mustache in fiction is that of the mustache-twirling villain, only Natsume could make it twist further for a mustache-combing ryuu.

It's like a twist on an old fable but the message is ultimately the same, that friends and loved ones are the true treasure. Pretty common message for this show, s'what makes it so endearing.

This was so heartwarming! I love to see natsume and his yokai friends doing the most! The search was a great chance to see more of the countryside too I just love the setting even after so many seasons I’m never tired of the mountains and fields! The ending was so unexpected and fun. I can’t wait until next week as it seems my favourite fishy to the max exorcist guy is making an appearance! 👀

I can't remember the last time a plot twist made me literally scream "What?!" in anime, and I never thought it would happen watching Natsume Yuujinchou.

I did not see it coming at all.

Natsume looking for a dragon scale for Chobi, and it turned out that the dragon was always Chobi himself; and we end with this last one very happy for the detail of our protagonist.

Another level about Natsume Yuujinchou. :´ )

@RobertBobert He was upset regarding his own old broken comb. Only Natsume was successful in all attempts of spotting and chasing him. So he wouldn't know if the entire party was after his scales.

Although considering Chobi's intelligence, he would have put everything together when Natsume communicated that he needed the scales for his friend before the very last disappearance.

that was an unexpected plot twist! who would've thought big headed chobi's real form is the magnificent creature they've all been trying to catch a glimpse of AND get a scale from to replace chobi's broken comb? lol nice, lighthearted episode that is filled with all of natusume's yokai friends; he has indeed grown so much & grown more comfortable seeing and hanging around yokais.

Natsume sees a dragon shedding shiny sparkling scales. He then finds out Chobihige is depressed since his comb is broken. Natsume is hell bent on gathering a shiny dragon scale to gift to Chobihige so he can make a new comb! The dog circle finds out and everyone offers to help.

After the gift is given, we find out Chobi is actually the dragon! Neat! The episode ended with me going awwww, that's so sweet and a cool twist too. Really love this show.

The fact they held the writing held this part of a character hidden for so long is a testament to how amazing the world building and character development is. It truly is the best show ever.

edit: also is probably one of my favorite episodes, top 10 for sure

Natsume sees a white glittering dragon in the sky. Chobi's treasured comb is broken making him depressed. Natsume wants to get the scales dropped off by the dragon as a gift to replace the comb for Chobi. Seems Chobi is the white dragon once he used the comb made from the scale.
