The King of Bandits steals stars from the sky.
Jing may appear to be a young boy, but his remarkable skills make him one of the most feared thieves on the planet. Along with his feathered partner Kir, Jing travels from town to town, stealing anything of value regardless of the amount of security. But when he's in a pinch, he has one more trick up his sleeve: Kir bonds with Jing's right arm to perform the effectively deadly "Kir Royale" attack. And because of all this, Jing is infamously known by many as the "King of Bandits."

We meet Jing and Kir for the first time in this episode! They're at the Capital of Thieves and they've heard of the magnificent treasure of the Double Mermaids. They learn from a rickety old lady that the Mayor of the city named Cognac holds the only one of the Double Mermaids. She tells them to go see Vodka a vetran thief. Jing impresses Vodka by stealing his prized jewel and making him swallow it!! Vodka and his groupies join forces with Jing to get the Double Mermaids but their plan (involving making a hot air balloon out of their clothes) fails miserably. Jing asks the old lady that shows up once again what in the world a dragon like thingy lying on the ground is. She says that its one of the few birds that rarely lays eggs. They watch as it actually does lay an egg and Cognac's goons take it away. The old lady makes a cryptic remark about how Cognac was always taking children from their mothers. Vodka asks Jing if he has any ideas on how to get up into Cognac's tower whe

This is a strange episode but what episode of Jing isn't? We start by seeing an older man fishing and waiting for a ghost ship. It comes and puts him into a shock/coma or something. We find Jing entering Blue Hawaii and meeting Rose, (Rose has an ay ending sound to it so its Rosay!) She's the stand in sheriff and Kir takes and immediate liking to her seeing as how she's beautiful,... her father was the sheriff but he's also the old man from earlier. She thinks Jing looks suspicious so she starts to write up and report on him,...He tells her his name and the fact that he's a bandit very bluntly. He wants to know about the ghost ship,...and she tells him and shows what happened to her father. They go off together so she can keep an eye on Jing for suspicious behavior. They have a short couple of battles, one with an impossibly large monster made of coins, and the other with a living anchor (don't ask). They get in and Jing's acting weird,...(he's seems like a jerk to me, what do

Jing and Kir are in ZaZa planning to attend what was thought of as a masquerade ball, but it turns out the sign read "Mas Corrida", and corrida is a bullfighting term. Suddenly, Jing and Kir are in the middle of a nationwide masked gladiator tournament to determine the new Earl of ZaZa and receive the Vintage Smile, a pearl white mask Jing came to steal. Jing finds out from Angostura Sr., that Madame DuBonnet didn't mourn for the loss of her husband, but was severely crushed when her only son, Lemon, was murdered by his uncle. The Madame grew cold and heartless, and ordered these tournaments to force everyone to fight until no warrior is left standing. Her main targets are the D'Ice Brothers: Baffle, Crash and Cube, the three who assassinated Lemon. After humiliating an opponent in true bandit fashion, Jing witnesses Cube's devastating defeat at the hands of a mysterious warrior in blood-red armor and demon motifs.

During the time, more plotting from the D'Ice Brothers are in the works to take the role of Earl by force, while Jing plots his own caper.

After defeating Crash, Jing finds himself surrounded by all three D'Ice Brothers, but one Kir Royale later and the brothers get blasted. Having escaped the D'Ice Brothers' wrath, Jing finds himself face to face with the demonic warrior who brutalized Cube who is simply known as "The Warrior of the Rising Son".

The fight continued on until the night with Jing and the red-armored warrior matching each other blow for blow. Just as Jing disarms the warrior's sword, Cube smashes the warrior to gain vengeance. The armor shatters and to everyone's shock, it revealed Miss Stir! Before anyone can act, Jing carried Stir and jumped towards the Madame's balcony so she can rest. Baffle suddenly captures Jing and hopes to execute him, but Angostura halts Baffle letting him know the law in ZaZa. Jing, ever so crafty, decides to have one more battle with Baffle. However, before the match, he switched masks and clothes with Angostura in order to reach Stir and the Vintage Smile. During Stir's rest, the cold-hearted Madame cried and took off her mask revealing her face. Then, everything in ZaZa was back to normal. Jing got the Vintage Smile while his friend Ginjou got everything else. However, Baffle was on Jing's trail and Jing finally put an end to the D'Ice Brothers' evil with a Kir Royale blast. Afterwards, Kir started to get that look in Jing's eye that something happened between him and Stir. When the masquerade ball was back to dancing instead of fighting, Stir put off every man who wanted to dance with her so she can save the first dance for Jing.
