Episode 15 Bone Killers ------------------------------------------------------ On the street Karimu: They aren't selling... Shilva: Yeah. Karimu: Our traditional crafts help guide troubled souls. Why aren't they selling? Shilva: Yeah. Karimu: (sighing) These are hard times too. Shilva: If we can't sell these, we'll have to skip a meal. Karimu: Oh well...We'll have to go to a convenience store and get some expired bentos-That's not it! It's about Yoh Asakura's next oponent, Faust VIII. ...That guy is too dangerous. Unless you make him forfeit the next fight, Asakura Yoh will die.I know of your interest in that boy.That's why I'm warning you. Shilva: We don't have the right to make a fighter forfeit. Karimu: Shilva! Shilve: I've got it, Karimu. Karimu: Huh? Shilva: They aren't selling because your face is so frightening that customers don't approach. Karimu: Really? -Yoh's Place- Dinner Time Yoh gulping down his food Anna slowly chewing her food Horo Horo: Why do they say "Don't feed brides autumn eggplants"? Yoh: Stupid fool. Anna: (vein popping) That's you guys. Horo Horo: Really? Horo Horo and Yoh both starting to eat again Manta jumping on to the table and pointing at Horo Horo with the rice spoon Manta: Hey! Why are you here?! Horo Horo: It's alright isn't it? We're neighbours. Yoh: That's right. Food tastes better with company. -Later On- Horo Horo: I'm full. That Pirika though...(having a bowl of tea)Every other word is training, training. I can't even relax to have a meal. I mean, I only have to beat two more people. Anna sipping tea Horo Horo: Doesn't she believe in my strength? And she makes these crazy training routines. Yoh and Manta sweat dropping Anna getting up Horo Horo: They get harder by the day. Jeez. Anna walking away Horo Horo: I never have a chance to rest...(drinking his tea) Pirika: I found you! Horo Horo spraying out the tea in his mouth Horo Horo running away Pirika: I won't let you get away. (trapping him with a fishing net) Yoh and Manta grinning Anna sighing at the doorway Pirika: God! What did you mean by ditching your training? (towing him away) If you lose the next match, you'll be out of the preliminaries! Horo Horo: It's your weird training routine! It's impossible to complete in one day no matter how hard you try! Pirika: What are you saying big brother? Don't you care about your dream of becoming the Shaman King? Horo Horo: It's going to be fine! I just need to win twice. Don't worry about these trivial things. Yoh: That's right. It'll be ok. Pirika and Horo Horo: Um? Yoh: Things always work out in the end. Pirika (furiously): What's that? Don't say irresponsible things like that. You ruined our dream. Yoh: What? (shocked) Pirika: Asakura Yoh, I'll never forgive you. (leaving, towing Horo Horo along in the fish net) Horo Horo: Yoh! Don't think too much about what she said, ok? Yoh: Yeah... Horo Horo: See ya. -In the Out Door Bath- Yoh sighing Manta: You never thought that someone whould say that, huh? That you ruined their dream. Are you still thinking about it? Yoh: Ah...I'm not good at being disliked. Manta: It's that way with everybody. It can't be changed. Beating someone without hurting them, is impossible. The Shaman Fight is a huge race every five hundred years that only one person can win. There's only one dream intact at the end. Yoh: One dream huh? Manta: You're striving to become the Shaman King for your own dream, right? Yoh: Um...I just want to have an easy life. Manta: But how will you know when your dream has come true? Yoh looking up at the moon Yoh: Hey... Manta: Huh? Yoh: Do you think that the dreams that lose in this race will disappear? Manta: Huh? If there are a hundred people, there are a hundred different dreams. They won't disappear just because they lost. Yoh: Yeah, so you'd think. Manta: I wouldn't like a world where everyone had the same dream. Yoh: Yeah. Manta: Maybe the person who becomes the Shaman King will create a world where anyone can work towards their dream. Anna: And it will be the man who will let me have an easy life. Yoh&Manta: Ah! Anna: Your next match has been decided. Next Sunday. The place is: Chokohama Foreigner Cemetary. (throwing Yoh the Oracle Bell) Yoh catching it Yoh: (reading the display on the Oracle Bell) Faust VIII. Manta: That's the next opponent? Anna: You just have to beat that guy. Please finish this and pass the preliminaries. It's a pain following you every fight. Manta: Huh?! How could you enter a men's bath so easily?! Anna: Do you have something you don't want seen? -Next Day- -raining- Yoh sneezing Yoh: How far did Anna go to buy an umbrella? Manta: Why didn't you bring at least one umbrella? Yoh: Yesterday's weather forecast didn't mention rain. Manta: Aren't weather forecasts supposed to be checked on the day in question? Yoh: Oh... -On Anna's way walking back to the cemetarry Shilva: Anna Kyoyama-chan, right? I need to speak with you. Manta: I wonder what kind of person he is. Yoh: Huh? Manta: Faust VIII. Today's opponent. Yoh: I don't know. I wonder what his fighting style is. Manta: I wonder why he wants to become the Shaman King. Yoh: We'll find out when we fight. Manta: You're not curious? Yoh: It'll work out. (beginning to listen to his music) Manta: Yoh-kun. Amidamaru: If there are a hundred people, then there are a hundred different dreams. That is what you said, Manta-dono. Manta: Amidamaru. Amidamaru: Even if you speculate about someone you don't know, you won't understand anything.That's why Yoh-dono fights. And tries to understand their true feelings. Manta: Yoh-kun. -In a Restaurant- Anna: Forfeit? You're telling me to make You lose without a fight? Shilva: That's right. He can't fight with that guy. Anna: Why? Shilva: It's... Anna eating her food Shilva: I was troubled over whether or not to say something like this to a specific paricipant. Even when he was facing a choice between life and death. Yoh-kun made the decision to fight and participate in the Shaman Fight. But I don't want Yoh-kun to die. He's...Faust VIII is...too dangerous. Man: Yoh Asakura-kun I presume? Yoh: Yes. Thats' me. Man: Hi. Nice to meet you. I am today's opponent, Faust VIII. Please be gentle. Yoh: ...Please to meet you. Faust VIII: I'm glad. I was wondering what I'd do if you were a scary person. Yoh: Oh. Manta: Is this person really a shaman? Yoh: He really screws with a person's rhythm. Amidamaru: You must not let your guard down, Yoh-dono. Yoh&Manta: Huh? Amidamaru: This man, has an unnatural smell of death. Shilva: Two weeks ago, Faust VIII killed his opponent. He continued attacking, even after his opponent's Furyoku faded. And seriously injured a priest who came to stop the fight. Once Faust loses control. He's like an wild, untamed dog. He will not stop. And,today's arena is clearly to his advantage. Anna: Arena? Shilva: Yes. Faust is, a necromancer. Anna: I see. That's why you want him to forfeit so badly. Shilva: That's right. If you care about Yoh-kun, make him forfeit today's match! Anna: Yoh will fight. Shilva: Why?! Anna: Whoever the opponent is, it doesn't matter. Shilva: You don't care about Yoh-kun? Anna: If this is a test for the Shaman King, Yoh will accept anything. And...I believe that Yoh will become the Shaman King. (exiting the restaurant) Shilva: She lives up to the expectations of a bride chosen by the Asakura family. No wonder why Yoh-kun became strong. How reckless, I almost forgot about my job as a priest. This fight...I must see it to the end. Amidamaru: Faust, whatever. The smell of death that you emit, can't be hidden no matter how hard you try. Faust: It's not my intention to deceive you. Of course the smell of death is stained upon me. (taking off his coat, revealing a skeleton) Yoh&Manta: Ah. Faust: I am, a necromancer. Yoh: A necromancer. Manta: I think it's people who use necromancy, the ability to control the dead. Faust: Exactly. I Oversoul the souls of the dead into corpses. This is the relic that I use to make my spirit physical. Manta: Huh?! Your name..it isn't Dr. Faust is it? Yoh: Dr. Faust? Faust: Oh? I'm surprised that you know. Yes, infact, I'm his descendant. Five hundred years ago, the genius scholar who was said to have mastered everything from alchemy to magic. He was also a necromancer. Now with the knowledge passed down from my ancesters, I have gained his power. Yoh: Wow, that's amazing. Manta: This isn't good Yoh-kun! Dr. Faust is a legendary necromancer, he's been said to have wielded the power of demons! If he has that person's power... Yoh: Oh! He's wearing a white coat because he's a descendant of a scholar! Manta falling over Manta: Ah! That has nothing to do with anything! Faust: That's exactly right. Manta: Huh? Faust: I was a doctor. As a doctor, I felt the happiness of saving many lives. But...in the end...I wasnt' able to beat the thing called Death. I wasn't able to bring back the dead. But someday...I will find the answer to overcoming Death. By any means necessary. Manta: I don't think it's possible to overcome Death. Faust: (furious) What?! Saying it's impossible. Dont' say it so easily. (the skeleton becoming alive) I won't forgive anyone who makes fun of my research! Yoh: Stop it! Manta didn't mean any harm by what he said! Manta: Yoh-kun. Faust: Alright. I'll forgive you. But in return. You will help me in my research in figuring out life's true nature. Yoh: What? Faust: Lost souls. Hear my voice! Now, for one time, I will give you the chance to return to your bodies. Yoh&Manta looking around uncertainly Yoh: What? Skeletons coming out from their graves Manta: Bones! Yoh: Manta! Amidamaru: Manta-dono! Two skeletons carrying Manta away Manta: Yoh-kun, help! Amidamaru: Yoh-dono. Yoh: Let's go Amida- Faust's skeleton hitting Yoh in the back, knocking Yoh down Faust: Please don't interrupt my research. I'm the kind of person who has to finish everything I start. Yoh: Faust...You! Faust: Eliza, my love (to his skeleton), please lend me a hand. Amidamaru: Yoh-dono! Yoh: Wait! A skeleton grabbing his leg Yoh trying to free himself a bunch of skeletons grabbing on to him Yoh: Damn! Manta being tied to a cross Manta: Ah!! Yoh: Manta! Faust: Looks like we are prepared. Let's begin the research. What is life. If your organs are moving, can it be said that you are alive? Or...How long can they be stopped, before you question whether you are alive? Manta: What are you going to do? (panicing) Faust: Can't you stay calm? My hands might slip. (sticking his hands INSIDE Manta's body) Yoh&Amidamaru: Ah! Manta: Ahh...!! Yoh: Stop! Faust! Manta isn't involved, right? Faust: It's ok. (still poking around inside Manta's body) There's no pain. Manta in pain Faust: Oops! I'm sorry. So...Let us examine the most important part in determining life and death. Your heart is beating really fast...Should we just make it stop? Manta: Ah... Yoh: You! (desperately trying to break free from the skeletons)Just wait! I'll save you right now! Manta! Faust: It's no use. You can't escape from my bones. Manta: Yoh-kun... Faust: Oh? Your breathing is irregular. Manta: Yoh-kun. Yoh breaking free, destroying the skeletons Faust: No way...My bone prison was broken. Yoh glaring angerly at Faust Faust: Anyone who disturbs my path. I will kill! Those who haven't shown yourselves until now! Listen to my command, and revive! My minions. Make that child bones! (ground exploding) Bone dead reborn! All of the grave's bones reviving The bones piling on top of Yoh, burying him alive Manta: Yoh-kun! Faust laughing insanely Faust: How unsatisfying! Asakura Yoh! Manta: No...Yoh-kun. Could it... Faust: Well, I will make this child a real experiment... A bright light shining from the pile of bones Faust: What?! Yoh breaking out of the pile of bones Faust: He crushed my bones in an instant! That's his Oversoul? Manta: Yoh-kun. Yoh: I will not forgive you, Faust VIII! ~End of Episode 15~
