The third Apocalypse Hotel episode, titled ‘A Smile is the Ultimate Ambiance,’ begins 50 years after Nojyujarmar’s departure, when another alien ship crashes in Ginza. The Procione family, tanuki disguised as humans, claim to be human.

Yachiyo, believing them, welcomes them until the Environment Checker Robot’s combat mode reveals their true forms. The family explains they fled a war-torn planet and found Earth through a ghost ship. Despite their unruly behavior and the damage caused, Yachiyo’s stern words lead them to repent.

Ponko, the daughter, expresses a desire to work at the hotel. Apocalypse Hotel Episode 4 may center on Ponko adjusting to hotel duties under Yachiyo’s guidance. As a Tanukian unfamiliar with human customs, Ponko may struggle with hospitality training and etiquette.

Other members of her family may also ask to become staff, possibly causing chaos or comedic setbacks. Additionally, the episode could introduce a new guest at Gingarou Hotel, continuing the trend of unusual visitors. This may come alongside updates on the fate of humanity, following earlier implications of their extinction.
