Episode 11 Rain That Falls in Spring ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anna: Why don't you show your ugly face already? Tokageroh: Hey hey. Watch you words, missy. Who do you think I am? I am the great thief Tokageroh! I'll have my revenge from 600 years ago! Man7: Tokageroh? What are you saying, Ryu-san? Anna: What a stupid name. Tokageroh: What did you say? Yoh: Manta! Amidamaru: Manta-dono! Anna: Tokageroh...You led the group of thieves who wreaked havoc here 600 years ago. Tokageroh: Ah hehehe. So you knew? Then you should know why I came. Amidamaru! It's to kill you with this sword! All: Huh! Anna: It's probably just a wooden sword. Tokageroh: Unfortunately, this is a real sword. It's not a very good sword though. Manta: Um Ummm...! Tokageroh: All of this...is to get my revenge, Amidamaru. For killing me 600 years ago! Amidamaru: Who are you? Tokageroh: Wait a minute! Don't tell me you forgot. I'm the great thief. Lord Tokageroh! Yoh: Is that true, Amidamaru? Amidamaru: How can I remember? I've killed so many evil people. I can't remember them all. Anna: I'm guessing that you're weak. Tokageroh: What? Amidamaru: How are you going to kill Amidamaru's spirit? Tokageroh: Simple. I'm going to kill him when he merges with that kid over there. Yoh: I see. Amidamaru: This isn't the time to be agreeing with him, Yoh-dono! Tokageroh: Hurry up and merge damn it! Don't you care about him? Manta: Um Ummm... Anna: It doesn't matter really. All: Eh?! Manta: Um Ummm?! Anna: Yoh is a man who will become the Shaman King. I can't let him be killed by the likes of you. Tokageroh: By the likes of me?! Who do you think you are? Anna: I am the one who will become the wife of the Shaman King. Yoh: Anna... Tokageroh: I see. I see. Manta: Then let me get rid of him for you! Anna: Yoh! (throwing a wooden sword to Yoh) Yoh catching it Amidamaru: Now! Yoh charging at Tokageroh Yoh: Hyoui Gattai! Amidamaru! Amidamaru: From this distance. We can get to him before his sword reaches Manta-dono... And break it, even if it is real. (begin to attack) Tokageroh: Hm. I knew you would do that. Anna: Yoh, don't! Manta: (after getting the tape of his mouth) That sword is Harusame! Yoh: Haru... Amidamaru: ...same?! Tokageroh blocking the attack with Harusame Still battling Yoh: This... Amidamaru: Is indeed Harusame! Tokageroh: That's right. This is Harusame. The sword you used to kill me. I won't be satisfied by just killing you. I have to make you suffer. Amidamaru: You, just for that... Tokageroh: That's right, I stole it. A samurai getting killed by his own sword...I get excited just thinking about it. Amidamaru: Just for that, you stole Harusame?! Tokageroh: Besides, there aren't many masterpieces like this. It didn't even budge after taking your attack. Amidamaru: Harusame isn't just a masterpiece. Harusame is...Harusame is... Yoh: Amidamaru? Tokageroh: You're open! Tokage Styled Mukugii.(sending Yoh flying) Manta: Yoh-kun. Men: Ah...Ryu-san killed him! Tokageroh: It's amazing how you were able to dodge it from that position. Yoh landing on his feet Yoh: Uh. Tokageroh: That's Amidamaru all right. Well then. We're back to where we started. Hurry up and let me kill you Amidamaru. Or I can't be held responsible for what's going to happen to him. Amidamaru: Damn you... Yoh: Manta! Anna: There are 3 ways to save Manta. First, as he wants, you let him kill you. Or damage the body he has possessed until it can't move. If the body is immobilized, he will leave Ryu's body and Manta will be saved. On the other hand, Ryu might die. Man1: Anna-san...What are you saying? Anna: And the last option...break his weapon, Harusame. Amidamaru: Harusame?! Anna: He will lose his only means of attack and we can easily save Manta. Amidamaru: But Harusame is... -Flashback- Men: Ahhh! (running away) Damn you! Yoh stupid brat! We'll remember this! Amidamaru: Had enough yet you thieves?! The next time you try to raid my farm, I'll slice you all in half! Mosuke: What?! You broke another one of my swords? Eh? Amidamaru?! Amidamaru: The sword was too weak. Can't you make a better sword Mosuke? Mosuke: I need good steel to make a good sword. Amidamaru: But I can't protect everyone without a good sword. Mosuke: If you want a sword that badly, why don't you steal one off a samurai? If you don't want to, there are plenty of them in the mountain battlefield remains. Amidamaru: Mosuke! Mosuke: Don't stare at me. You, me, and the kids here...all drifted here after having our parents killed by bandits. I know what you're feeling. You don't want to do the same things as those bandits. Amidamaru walking away Mosuke: Wait. I'll do something about the sword. If I keep on forging such weak swords... My father's knife will laugh at me. Amidamaru: Mosuke! -Few Days Later- Amidamaru: Amazing! No matter how I use it, it won't even scratch. So this is my new sword. Mosuke: Ha hahaha. Think differently about my skill now? -Night Time- Amidamaru: You said a few days ago that you couldn't make a good sword without good steel. I see. You must have found some. Mosuke: Somewhat. I want you to become Japan's #1 swordsman. It would feel great if Japan's #1 swordsman wielded my sword. Amidamaru: Hey, what's wrong? This sword is great, but...Hey, don't tell me... Mosuke: Don't worry about it. My father's knife was reborn as a sword. If you take good care of it, it'll be fine. Amidamaru: Mosuke... Mosuke: I believe that you can protect us. A tear dropping on to Harusame Mosuke: Amidamaru? Amidamaru: It started raining all of a sudden. It's still spring and yet...Harusame. Mosuke: Eh? Amidamaru: This sword, let's call it Harusame (means spring rain). Mosuke: That's a good name. -End of Flashback- Amidamaru: And you're telling me to break Harusame? Anna: In your current state...The last option is impossible. Harusame is a masterpiece that can cut through stone. In order to break it, a full forced attack must be exerted on it. If there is even a little bit of uncertainty in your heart...Your attack will be easily repelled...and you'll definitely be hit by a counter-attack. Tokageroh: Now...hurry up and decide. Either you die. Or he dies. I'm counting to 3. One...two... Yoh: Manta! Manta: Ah...ahhh... Tokageroh: Three! Amidamaru: Wait! Tokageroh: Too slow! (being stopped by his men)These guys! Man: Space Shot! Man1: Blue Shuttle! Man8: Abachi! Manta: What the?! Tokageroh: What the hell are you guys doing?! Manta: Ah! Ryu's friends are fighting him. They shouldn't be able to see Tokageroh but... Ball Boy: We couldn't stand it anymore. Muscle Punch: The fact that our Ryu-san is acting like trash. (lumping) Men: Muscle Punch. Muscle Punch: Hey, sorry to make you guys worry. You okay, Manta? Manta: Yeah. Muscle Punch: We too, understand. That the Ryu-san right now isn't normal. Tokageroh: You know what will happen if you disobey me, right? I'll kill you! Blue Shuttle: Enough already, Ryu-san! What could possibly make you want to kill someone?! Space Shot: It's true that before you were violent and hated by people but...you were kind to us. Have you forgotten about the beginning of junior high? You talked to me, even though I was new! On the night of the festival, you helped me when I was surrounded by yakuzas! Abachi: That's right! When I ran away, Ryu-san gave me a cooked sweet potato by the riverbank road. Man7: On that cold night, you treated me to meat buns. I can't forget it. Muscle Punch: Ryu-san's voice when he said that he would find the Best Place for those who had no place in society! -Flashback- Ryu: We're friends, right? -End of Flashback- Men: Ryu-san! We're friends, right?! Tokageroh: Friends? Friends...Friends...Friends...Friends...Friends...Friends...That word makes me sick! Amidamaru: Stop it. Tokageroh! You no longer have a hostage. Tokageroh: You're right. Then how about this?! (pointing Harusame at his own throat) If you move, I'll kill him! Manta: This time, he took Ryu of the wooden sword as his hostage! Tokageroh: He's your friend, right? Is it alright to abandon your friend? If you value his life...Put down your weapon and slowly walk over here. Didn't you hear me?! I told you to put down your weapon! Yoh: Are you sure about this Amidamaru? Amidamaru: I have no more doubts. Tokageroh: You...you don't care about your friend? Amidamaru: Ryu of the wooden sword has taught me... Tokageroh: Eh? Amidamaru: How important friends are. And has reminded me...that in order to save friends... Tokageroh: H-Hey. Don't tell me... Amidamaru: There are times when one must make sacrifices! Tokageroh: He's going to destroy the sword? To save the others? Amidamaru: Shinkuu Buttagiri! Tokageroh: No way! Impossible. Harusame is broken?! Impossible. This can't be! Wasn't Harusame a precious gift from his friend? How can he break it just to save a kid? Amidamaru: It's true. Harusame was a precious sword. But that sword was created by Mosuke with his father's knife to save others. That is why I...will throw away any object no matter how important it may be. Even if it is Harusame! -Raining- Yoh: Your plan has failed. Will you give up and enter the afterlife? Tokageroh: Give up...And enter the afterlife? Yoh: That's right. Tokageroh: I can't do that. Amidamaru&Yoh: Tokageroh! Tokageroh: The name Tokageroh...was given by my mother to survive no matter what! I did many evil things to live. Tricking people. Hurting people. That's why...I can't lose to people who help each other! To those who babble about how important friends are! Amidamaru: Tokageroh! Tokageroh reaching for the broken blade Tokageroh stopping suddenly Tokageroh: What's going on? My body...has no strength left. Anna: Two souls in one body puts a lot of stress on it. Because of your forceful entry. And the fact that Ryu hasn't gone through proper shaman training. His body couldn't handle it. It's over. Just enter the afterlife! Yoh stopping Anna Yoh: Hey. Do you really want a friend? All: Eh? Amidamaru: Yoh-dono. Tokageroh: Don't kid me. Are you telling me to help everyone? Muscle Punch: We aren't helping everyone! We are helping each other towards a common goal. That's what friends are for. Didn't you say that. Ryu-san?! Yoh: Live no matter what eh? Wasn't there a way to live with your friends? Tokageroh: Um! Yoh: It might be too late but...I'll be your friend. Tokageroh: Are you serious? Yoh: Yeah. Tokageroh: Eh! You're all talk. Yoh: Oh, is that so. Um...How about I lend this body to you? All: Eh?! Anna: What do you mean?! Amidamaru: Yoh-dono?! Manta: Are you going to merge with Tokageroh? If you do that... Tokageroh: I might kill you the second I take control of you. Yoh: So be it. Amidamaru: This isn't right! Yoh: Amidamaru. Amidamaru: Why must Yoh-dono become a victim? Espectially to your kind?! Yoh: Don't worry. Amidamaru: Yoh-dono! Yoh: Now then. Whenever you're ready, Tokageroh. Tokageroh: Alright. As you wish, I'll merge with you. And destroy your body! (merging with Yoh) Amidamaru: Yoh-dono! Anna: Yoh! Tokageroh: Ha heh... He's such an idiot. Lending me his body just to get killed. (picking up the broken blade) Well then, where should I start? Anna falling to her knees Anna: It can't be...He really gave his body to him. Manta: Yoh-kun! Tokageroh: Useless! Useless! I'm in complete control of his body. I can't believe his kindness. Anna: What was he thinking? That idiot... Manta: Anna-san. Ahhh! What should I do?! Tokageroh: Damn it...I can't believe this...(tearing) Manta: Eh? Tokageroh: How could he. He knew that he could've been killed. Yet he was still able to do such a kind thing. Amidamaru: He believed that you were his friend. Tokageroh: Friend... Amidamaru: Because he believed that you were his friend. He trusted you. And was able to entrust you with his body. While you were alive. You were always worried about survival. You had no time to be at peace. What you really needed was, a place of peace. In other words, you needed friends. Tokageroh: My god...That means the second I merged with him...I had already lost. -Stopped Raining- Manta: Amazing! Yoh-kun was able to plan that far? Anna: Of course not! Manta: Uh? Anna: He just selfishly thought of it like that. He's kind even when he's about to die! How dare he make a fool of me. Starting tonight I will add the Special Menu. (burning angry) Manta: Scary! Men: Ryu-san! Blue Shuttle: Ryu-san! Do you recognize us? Yoh: You're done? Tokageroh: Yeah. Men: Ryu-san. Ryu-san. Ryu-san. Tokageroh: Friends aren't bad. Right? Men: Get a hold of yourself. Ryu-san. Yoh: Yep. Men: Wake up! Ryu-san! ~End of Episode 11~
