Appearances

Cutie Honey Manga

Every Yuri-fan's dream come true almost

There is a scene where Honey lotion on her wounds from Miharu Tsuneni whipping her. She survives the bombing of the school but is killed by a flamethrower from the second head of Dragon Claw soon after finding out about Honey Kisaragi being Cutie Honey.

Cutie Honey Anime

Natsuko in the 73 anime

Any romantic attraction she has for Honey is downplayed in the TV series. She is kind and nice and sweet and very feminine but gets wacked off in the middle of the series by Sister Jill (TV episode 14). Also her character design is different in the anime (where she resembles a girl who made a brief appearance in one issue of Devilman before getting killed by a demon) from the manga.

New Cutey Honey

Another girl named Natsuko appears in the fifth episode as a criminal who wants to use a nucular bomb to get a ransom; she joins Honey's group by the sixth episode, often stays near Chokkei Hayami, and calls him "boy" to his annoyance. Her presence reminds Honey of her old friend of the same name who died in the original versions of Cutie Honey. She is confused about Honey's promise to protect her until Chokkei explains what happened to the original Natsuko. However, neither Honey or Natsuko have any romantic feelings toward each other.

Cutey Honey Flash

Nat-chan in Cutey Honey Flash

In Cutey Honey Flash, Natsuko appears again as Honey Kisaragi's best friend and classmate. However, there is no romantic connection between them and Natsuko is portrayed as being a typical boy crazy teenage girl.

Re: Cutie Honey

The femminine one is almost always lighter skinned than the masculine one in anime

In this version, she is a police officer who is trying to solve the mystery of Panther Claw and Honey. She doesn't seem to like Honey at first but warms up to her later and later goes out of her way to save Honey's life. After leaving the government and kissing Honey(in a scene LONG overdue) she becomes a detective and starts a business with Honey(and maybe most likely a romantic relationship).

Cutie Honey Universe

Nice Pitts!!

This is the only anime adaptation of Cutie Honey where Nat-chan has the same appearance as her manga counterpart and her being openly lesbian isn't toned down. In episode 3, she meets Inspector Genet and goes on a date with her. She gets attacked by Badfly Claw in a department store after changing into a new outfit that Genet was going to buy her but Naoko Sukeban and her gang arrive and save Nat-chan before Honey arrives to save them.

Cutie Honey vs Devilman Lady

no Weinstein! I don't consent!

In here she is gaying out with Scarlet Hamano and they see a peeper outside the window and she screams and alerts Honey. Scarlet says Natchan is not wearing a top as she was sweaty and Scarlet was drying her off(that sounds even more x rated). Later, Natchan is with Scarlet again and a daemon beast attacks and nat's screaming alerts Devilman Lady and Cutey Honey. Devilman Lady busts in and fights off the demon beats but natchan thinks both are bad guys. After word spreads of the monster attack like its Urotsukidoji or w/e, Honey comforts Nat-chan and meets Ichigo Koyama who's a rival to Scarlet in Rhythmic Gymnastics. Later, its night and Ichigo Koyama is b--ching out over her lust for Natsuko and wanting to shred her nips and turns into a monster, which triggers Jun to transform, who's roar warns Honey who wants to fight but has to deal with a freaked out Natsuko. But Scarlet comes in, p-ssed that Natchan is hugging a thicc babe like Honey and Natchan explains she was just scared. Scarlet buys it but starts grabbing Honey's b00bs and talking about how big they are compared to Natchan's, then rips her night gown open to get a good look at em and compliments their rich shape. Later after Ichigo is J FK'd by Lan Asuka's group, word has it she's left to study abroad and Honey and Nat watch Scarlet do gymnastics like Akemi from Urotsukidoji and Scarlet is malcontent over honey spending time with Nat. Later, Natsuko is writing a diary and sayz Scarlet scares her(Is this one of those very special episodes about domestic violence that's pretty common among queers?) and a tentacle monster busts in and captures Nat. hiney transforms and Unicorn Panther is watching and sees the light and says to attack. Honey fights the tentacle monster which is revealed to be Scarlet and leads her through the woods to let it drop Natchan but Jun in beast mode attax Scarlet and says she's on honey's side.
