Episode 10 Fate of 600 Years ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Evening- Yoh&Manta: Huh. Huh(breathing hard). We're back. Anna: You're late! Manta: Late? It's about the same as usual. Anna: (Vein poping) I'm hungry! Manta: Then ask Bokutou no Ryu to... Anna: He's not here yet. Yoh&Manta: Eh? Man1: Ryu-san? You aren't going to YOh-san's house? Man2: You said you were going to become a shaman by training at Yoh-san's place. Ryu: It's impossible for me. Man1: Ryu-san... Ryu: Ah... Man3: Hey, Muscle Punch, know anything that'll cheer up Ryu-san? Man1: At this rate, we're going to feel down too. Muscle Punch: Knowing somethng like this would happen, I secretly prepared something. Men: Uh! Man1: Really? Muscle Punch: A special remedy to cure Ryu-san. That is... Men: That is? Muscle Punch: The Best Place! Narrator: The Best Place. It is the last Arcadia. Where people embark on a journey to find their true place of belonging. Longing for a place of tenderness and happiness. This is a tale about Ryu of the wooden sword. A man without a home, alienated from society. Accompanied by friends of similar fate, they search for a place that will accept them. A courageous journey that will lead them to an untainted Best Place. Ryu: This is...our new Best Place. Muscle Punch: Funbari Bowling. Funbarigaoka Kagesha. 30 minutes bus ride. 10 minute walk. It used to be Funbarigaoka's #1 private resort. But because of its location, no one came and they had to close. All: Oh... Muscle Punch: But this place is still alive! (turning on the power) All: Oh...! Muscle Punch: Hehe. I messed around with the wiring. We can now play games or go bowling if we want. How about it, Ryu-san? Isn't this the BEST Best Place? Ryu: Muscle Punch. You're such a... Muscle Punch: Ryu-san. Ryu: (punching Muscle Punch in the face) You just don't understand what the Best Place is! Muscle Punch: What's wrong with this place, Ryu-san?! Ryu: First of all, it's too far from the train station, and there are no shops nearby. Muscle Punch: That's...We're not looking for an apartment. Ryu: That's not it! The Best Place is...not a playground. Wasn't it a place where we could rest our hearts and feel at ease? All: R-Ryu-san! (all very tearful) Muscle Punch: I was wrong. Let's search for it once again. For our place of rest! Ryu: Good. You understand. Farewell...temporary Best Place. Man4: But I wanted to at least play one game. Man1: Yeah. there aren't many places that let you play for free. Man2: We came to such a remote place. Man5: And didn't do anything. All: Ah...What a waste. What a waste. Muscle Punch: S-Sorry, Ryu-san! Man6: W-We accidentallyl... Ryu: You guys...Ah...! All: Nice. Ryu-san. Ryu: Calm down. Clam down. Muscle Punch: Let's play all night, Ryu-san! Ryu: Yeah. It's not like we can't play at places other than the Best Place. All: Yeah! -Yoh's Place- Anna: It tastes bad. I can't eat this. Remake it. Yoh&Manta: Eh?! Yoh: I knew it. Manta: I've already made it ten times though! Anna: Speed, sense, and good ingredients are needed for cooking. You don't have any of those. Manta: Ingredients? Yoh: But we don't have anymore. Anna: Go buy them if we ran out. Manta: Ah?! Yoh: I knew it. Manta: Shopping at this time...Anna-sa is so cruel. Yoh: She's been spoiled by Ryu's cooking. Manta: Ryu of the wooden sword is really good at cooking. Why did he suddenly stop coming? Yoh: Eh? Manta: Eh? That bowling center is supposed to be closed. Voice: You go next, Silver Sun! Voice: Ball Boy, don't lose! Ball Boy missing the bowling bins Men: Ha Haha! Man5: Again? Ball Boy? Man3: That's the 10th time in a row. Ryu: I know. From now on, instead of Ball Boy...you are now Gutter Boy! Men: Ha hahaha! Ryu: Um? (noticing two people coming) Ryu in hiding Ryu: I knew it! Master Yoh and Manta. Why are they here? Yoh: Oh, so it was you guys. Men: Uh? Ball Boy: Yoh-san! Manta: Where's Ryu of the wooden sword? Ball Boy: Ryu-san... Man7: He was here a minute ago. Ball Boy: Ryu-san? Where are you? Men6: Yoh-san is here. Men:8 Ryu-san. Men1: Ryu-san! (checking the man's washroom) He's not here. Ryu-san. Where are you? Ryu-san! Ryu hiding in the woman's washroom Ryu: I'm sorry. Master Yoh. I can't face you right now. I gave up my dream of becoming a shaman. Uh?! What? It's just a lizard. Manta: Ah? (noticing a lizard)Lizard... Yoh: What's wrong? Manta: Yoh-kun. Doesn't it feel strange here? Amidamaru: Manta-dono can feel it too? Manta: Amidamaru. Amidamaru: An abnormal spirit roams here. Yoh: It's a grudge. Manta: Grudge? Yoh: I don't know who it is...but something with a lust for vengeance is roaming about. Muscle Punch: Ryu-san! Ball Boy: Please come out already! Yoh: It looks like the reason why this place was closed...wasn't just because of the location. Muscle Punch: Ryu-san! Men1: Ryu-san! Yoh: When you find Ryu, tell him to leave immediately. Muscle Punch: What do you mean? Yoh: Hm...How should I put it...People shouldn't be here. Ball Boy: Ahhh! Muscle Punch: Don't scream like that all of a sudden. Ball Boy: I've heard a story from my grandmother. This land is cursed. New stores always close. Yoh: Well, that's pretty much it. (going outside) Muscle Punch: Ryu-san! Where are you? Men1: Please come out! -Outside- Amidamaru: Yoh-dono. Yoh: I'll talk to Anna. She's the expert on evil spirits. Manta: You're right. It isn't good having this in our neighborhood. Yoh: Um. Manta: What's wrong? Yoh: Aren't we forgetting something? Manta: Huh? Amidamaru: I believe we came out to buy ingredients for dinner. Yoh&Manta: Ah!! Yoh: That's right! Manta: I wonder if the store's still open! Yoh and Manta hurrying away to buy the ingredients Ryu: (sighing) Men1: Ryu-san! Men5: We're going to leave without you! Ryu: I guess I'll go.(sighing again)(looking into a mirror)What a miserable face. (combing his hair) Alright (finished combing)! Voice: I've finally found him. Ryu: Who... it it?! ...Guess it was nothing. Voice: I've waited 600 years to find someone I could reach. Ryu: Um... Voice: You want to become strong, right? I'll give you strength! Ryu: Ah...!! Men: Eh? Ball Boy: T-That was Ryu-san screaming... Muscle Punch: That way! Men1: Ryu-san! Ryu: Why are you making...such a ruckus? (eyes unfocused) Men1: You were here, Ryu-san. Muscle Punch: It's about time we got out of here. Yoh-san just came. He told us to leave this place. Ryu: Huh? Muscle Punch: We've had enough fun. And...this isn't the Best Place. Ryu: You...Don't get it. (punching Muscle Punch in the face) Ha hehehe! Muscle Punch: W-Why? Ryu: This is a wonderful place. Truly the Best Place. Why must we leave. Muscle Punch: He's behaving differently than before... Ryu: Alcohol! Alcohol! Today's the splendid day of revival! Bring lots of alcohol! Men: Ryu-san... Ryu: Ha hahehehe! Ryu eating tons of food Ryu: Um? What is this? I'm not getting drunk at all. Muscle Punch: It's not sake. It's just cola. Ryu: (spitting the cola out at Muscle Punch's face) I told you to get alcohol! Muscle Punch: But Ryu-san, you're still too young. (wiping his face with a handkerchief) Men1: Yoh always said that you'd drink alcohol after 20. Ball Boy: Plus, the store clerks won't sell that stuff to us underaged kids. Ryu: What a boring world it has become. I forgot the most important thing. You guys! Know of a sword called Harusame? Men1: Harusame? The edible Harusame? Ryu: Katana! A katana! Didn't you hear me?! Ball Boy: Speaking of which, I heard about it from my grandmother. Ryu: Eh? Ball Boy: She said that a samurai named Amidamaru used that sword. Ryu: Where is it now? -Yoh's Place- Manta: See you tomorrow Yoh-kun. Yoh: Be careful on you way home. Manta: It's this late already?! Figures since Anna-san was finally satisfied, on the 25th try. Anna: Take care of the dishes. Yoh: Huh?! By myself?! Anna: We're going to investigate the evil spirit at the bowling center tomorrow, right? I need to do some research. Yoh: Did you find anything? Anna: Looks like that area was a hideout for thieves. Yoh: Thieves? Anna: If it could be stolen, they stole everything from food to lives. A cruel, merciless group of thieves. The name of their leader was...Tokageroh. Manta: Eh? That's...(seeing Ryu and the gang)I'm pretty sure he looked like Ryu of the wooden sword. I wonder why he's at the museum. -Inside the Museum at Night- Muscle Punch: Let's stop Ryu-san! Ball Boy: If we stop now, we can call it a prank. Ryu: This...(ignoring them) Is revenge against him! Muscle Punch: I don't know about this revenge, but this isn't like you Ryu-san! Men1: That's right. We'll become thieves. Men7: You always said that stealing makes your family sad. Ryu: You're in my way. Muscle Punch: Ryu-san! Why a real sword? Ryu of the wooden sword using a real sword... It doesn't make sense! Ryu: That's okay. I am the thief, Tokageroh. Stealing is what I do. (stabbing him in the leg with a knife) Muscle Punch: Ahhh! Men: Muscle Punch! Ball Boy: I can't believe it! Man7: He actually stabbed him! Man1: You've got to be kidding me! How could you, Ryu-san!? What did Muscle Punch do?! Tokageroh: You guys are too naive. In this world, the one who steals is the winner. Money, women, even posture. Manta: Did he say Tokageroh! A spirit has possessed Ryu of the wooden sword. Is that Tokageroh? Tokageroh: Let me make it clear. The next person who defiees me...won't get off so easily. Men: Um... Tokageroh: Hehehe...So this is where it was. (breaking open the case containing Harusame) To kill him with his own sword.(picking Harusame up) That is my That is my revenge. Manta running out of the museum Manta: This is bad. I have to tell Yoh-kun and Amidamaru. Ryu (Tokageroh) jumping out of a window and landing in front of Manta Ryu: Did you think that I wouldn't notice? You're too naive. You're friends with Amidamaru right? Your name is Manta. Manta: No. He's not Ryu of the wooden sword. (trying to escape) Ryu stepping on him Ryu: I won't let you escape. You still have an important role to play. The role of hostage! (stepping on him hard) Manta: Ahh!! -Yoh's Place- Amidamaru: Um? Manta-dono! Anna: Manta. -At the Bathroom- Yoh: Uh? Manta. (opening the bathroom window) Guess it was nothing.(doing his business) Amidamaru: (Poping in from the window) It wasn't your imagination, Yoh-dono! Yoh: Ahh Ahhh...!! Amidamaru! Amidamaru: I felt it as well. Probably the same feeling as Yoh-dono. Yoh: What? Did something happen to Manta? But...this kind of feeling is the beginning... Anna: Someone with spiritual ability has bonded somewhere. In other words, it's a message from the stars. Japanese call it a 'notice from the insects'. I felt it too. Amidamaru: What was it, Anna-dono?! Yoh: Forget it! Stop gathering around here! -After changing clothing- Yoh: Let's hurry. I'm worried about Manta. Amidamaru: Anna-dono. Do you know where Manta-dono is? Anna: It'll be quick if I ask some nearby spirits. Voice: That isn't necessary... Yoh: Ah! Tokageroh: For I have come. Manta: Umumm...(mouth taped) Yoh: Manta! Tokageroh: Stop! Don't come any closer. Try something stupid and your house will be burned down. Men7: Hey Ryu-san. Let's stop already. Men8: You want to burn this place down after what you did already? Tokageroh: Ha hehe. It's none of my concern. I only have one goal...Amidamaru! It's to get revenge on you! Yoh: Ryu, how can you see Amidamaru? Anna: It means that he has a spiritual sense. He's being possessed by something. Why don't you show your ugly face already? Tokageroh: Hey hey. Watch your words, missy. Who do you think I am? I am the great thief, Tokageroh! I'll have my revenge from 600 years ago! Ha hehehe...Ha ha haha... ~End of Episode 10~
