Stu and the Otaku Six travel to Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Louisville where they interview America's Greatest Otaku contender Joey Hansell from Indianapolis, a lifelong anime fan, avid collector, and aspiring voice actor. The Otaku spots that the Otaku Six visits for this week includes Shofuso Japanese House and Garden that features traditional Japanese house with a teahouse and Japanese garden; GenCon where you can release the inner gamer in you; the "Bridges to Japan" at the Indiana State Fair where visitors can learn all about Japanese culture; and Ultra Pop, a short that sells popular cultural figures from Japan and the US. With all of the excitement going on, will the Otaku Six be able to complete this week's Otaku Challenge? How will the teams be able to collect one penny from one hundred different people to prove that "even trash, when piled up, becomes a mountain?"
