< Description: Chapter 14: Run Manta Run >

Jun: You want to free my Pyron? Nonsense. You should realize that you couldn't do anything.
Yoh: That I don't know, but at least now I can stop his nunchaku. So, the only thing left is to take off that paper.

< Yoh attacks Pyron >
Yoh: Now, Pyron will be free.
Manta: Great! That's perfect attack.
Jun: So what? You still can't do it. Remember, Pyron is a legendary kung-fu master. And Kung fu's real strength can be shown at point blank range!

< Pyron knee kicks >
Jun: Take that!
Manta: No way! He moves faster than Yoh.
Jun: Ha, ha, ha. You should accept your defeat. Take this! And you have to hand over your samurai now, or else.

< Yoh is hit by nunchaku >
Manta: Ah, even that plan doesn't work. Now what should we do? Anna, please try to use your magic to help Yoh.
Anna: No, I won't.
Manta: Eh?
Anna: This is a test. If he loses this easy fight, he is not the one I want to marry.

Manta: You are a witch!
Anna: I am sure he will defeat them. Just wait and see.
Manta: ??
Yoh: Ah… That was quick.
Amidamaru: My apologies, Lord Yoh. If only I had a sword…
Manta: A sword?
Yoh: What do you mean?
Amidamaru: If only I have a sword, or something else of the same shape…

Amidamaru: …I can break down that iron-wall defense, and get rid of that paper from the outside range.
Jun: Shameful, shameful. Blaming others for your own failure. That is the ghost that my brother desires? Doesn't seem to be any good. Right, Pyron? I hate confrontation, but I have little time left. You know that it's tiresome controlling ghosts.

Manta: Arh… she really intends to kill Yoh. Arh~~~.
< Manta runs away >
Yoh: Manta!
Jun: Hm, that is a wise decision.
Yoh: Manta…
< Funbari Hill shopping district >
Manta: Hang on, Yoh. I will find a sword for you.

Manta: But all the souvenir shops are close. And I just couldn't break into museum to steal Harusame! How can I find a sword in the middle of the night like this? But Yoh is in big trouble. I will try to find a sword, no matter what!
< a wooden sword appears >
Manta: Woo hoo, a wooden sword! Why does it appear here? Well, it doesn't matter. Let me take it to Yoh first.
???: Hey!

Ryu: Why do you hold on to my sword? What do you want?
Manta < thinking >: This is … Ryu's sword. Of all the people in this world, Why him? Why do I have to be in the situation like this? I don't think he will lend me his sword.
Angel Manta: Don't hesitate! Where else will you find a sword?
Devil Manta: Idiot! Let's run away before we get killed!

Angel Manta: Hey, but if you get that sword, that samurai can win!
Devil Manta: Who cares? It's every man for himself.
Angel Manta: You coward. Friendship is the most important thing now!
< Angel dispels Devil >
Manta: Can I… borrow this sword?

Ryu: That's too much!
< Ryu punches Manta >
Henchmen: Ha, ha, ha, are you crazy? Why does Ryu-san have to lend you his sword?
Muscle Punch: Moreover, he is really in the bad mood now because he lost his front hair.
Ball Boy: If you don't want to die, I suggest you to get lost.
Manta: If I run away, you will die.
Apache: Yoh?
Space shot: You want some more?

< Manta is beat up >
Manta: Please, let me have it.
Henchmen: Shut up!
Manta: I don't have time to explain this… but
Henchmen: We don't care!
Manta: This is emergency, please!
Ryu: You are so stubborn.
< Manta lays on the ground >
Ryu: What does this punk want?
Henchman: He he, don't sweat it, Ryu-san. Let's go to find our new lair.
Manta: Wait…

< Manta smacks Ryu with his Encyclopedia >
Manta: Why don't you get it!! I don't have time for this!! Illiterate punk like you have to be punished by my wisdom punch!!
Henchmen: Arh~~~ Zombie !!!!

< Back to fighting scene >
Jun: Shouldn't you call it quit, Yoh? The more you resist, the more you will get hurt. That samurai will be mine, no matter what.
Yoh: Shut up. I don't want to get hurt, but if I quit, Amidamaru will be in tough situation.
Jun: I just can't get this 'friendship is more important than life' thing. How can friendship create something useful?

< Manta appears, beaten up, with a sword >
Manta: How about 'it can bring him a sword to beat you'?
Yoh: Manta, I thought you ran away! What's up with that scar?
Manta: We can talk about that later.
Jun: A wooden sword!
Anna: That's not bad. You can find a sword, even though getting beaten up.
Manta: Even myself is surprised, but Yoh used to help me…

Manta: I have to help him, because we are friends.
Jun: Friend…
Yoh: Manta, you…
Manta: Now stand up. You have to defeat them. Don't let my effort be in vain.
< Manta faints >
Yoh: Manta! Well, what do you think, Amidamaru?

Amidamaru: This is perfect! I will not let Manta and his determination down!

Jun: 'Let down'? That is just a wooden sword. It can't do anything! Pyron, use your kung fu to finish that brat and his broken sword!
Yoh: Yes, this feeling. I can use it. Come on.

< Yoh parries Pyron's kick >
Jun: Much quicker! As if he becomes a different person!
Yoh: That's when I have a compatible object! To control the sword's speed is the real samurai art.
< Yoh imbalances Pyron >
Jun: Pyron lost the momentum!
Yoh: Take this, Pyron!

Yoh: The Amida's Buddha slash wave!!!
