Episode 18 Yoh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tamao: Very soon...someone who will bring Yoh-sama misfortune is coming closer and closer from the east. Raccoon Spirit: A long one and a small one. Fox Spirit: Destroying them... Raccoon Spirit: ...is your duty, Tamao. Fox Spirit: What's wrong? Tamao: I'm...not sure if I can do this alone. I'm still an apprentice. If those two are strong, don't you think it's better to ask Yohmei-sama?. Fox Spirit: What are you talking about? Raccoon Spirit: You can do it, I mean you have us for help. Tamao: But... Fox Spirit: What are you doing? If you don't hurry, your precious Yoh-sama will be... Tamao: No, that won't happen. Raccoon Spirit: Then we gotta do it. What are you going to do, Tamao? Tamao: Let's go. Ponchi, Conchi. Fox Spirit: Roger that. Raccoon Spirit: Let's destroy them! ~Horo Horo during a Shaman Fight~ Horo Horo: Take this! Kau Kau Puriwenpe! Man: Aw...! Pirika: You did it! You got your second win! Horo Horo: Alright! Pirika: Now you can qualify for the main tournament! Horo Horo: Yeah! Karimu: Great job for becoming this strong. Losing to Yoh Asakura wasn't in vain. Horo Horo: If he comes into my hands...he's basically nothing to me. What should I say... I guess you could call me one of the geniuses. HA..HA...! Right, Pirika? Pirika: Onii-chan (used in Japan when talking to Big brother or brother who's older than you) I...I...(crying) Horo Horo: Pirika. Thanks. I came this far because of your training. (talking emotionally) Pirika saying with Horo Horo still talking in the background: I'm so relieved about the fact that these training tools I prepared for the main tournament didn't become a waste. Horo Horo in background: Honestly, your training was so hard that I even wanted to run away. (still in his own world) Pirika: Now, Onii-chan, you're going to start training for the main tournament now. Horo Horo: What?! But Pirika-san... Pirika: Stop complaining and wear this! Horo Horo: Come on, please, give me a break today! Wahhh! Karimu (watching from the side): Good luck, Horo Horo. (tears streaming down his face) Pirika: Here, this is for you, Kororo. A special steel sandbar leaf. -Kororo alarmed Horo Horo: *Hurry and come to the main tournament, Yoh.* ~On the Road~ Manta: We're almost at Izumo. Ryu: Yeah. Manta: After this...I can finally see Yoh-kun... Ryu: Yeah, I want to see Master Yoh as quickly as possible too. But Manta...where should we go after we get to Izumo? You don't know where Master Yoh's house is, do you? Manta: I heard that the Asakura family is one of the most talented shaman families there are. We might find some clues if we go to temples and such. Ryu: I see. Well, let's go to the nearest temple then. Manta: Sure. Ryu: But when I put sunglasses on in the night, I can't see anything. Hahaha! Manta: Someone, help me! ~At a Temple~ Ryu: And...how do we find out? Manta: Um. If I can find a Shinto priest, he might know about it. Female Voice: Leave from this place. Ryu: Huh? Female Voice: I will not forgive anyone who tries to get in Yoh-sama's way. Leave from this place! Long one and small one! Manta: Don't say things that aren't necessary! Spirits: Hehe. You two...if you don't leave from this right now...you'll be in pain for a while. Manta: A raccoon and a fox? Ryu: Who the hell are you guys? Raccon Spirit: Our names are Ponchi... Fox Spirit: ...and Konchi. Konchi: We'll deliberately show you our strengths! Ryu: Hmph. How weak. Tamao: Ponchi! Konchi! Are you okay? Both Spirits: Tamao! (crying and running to Tamao) Manta: That is... Konchi: That really hurt!! Ponchi: That young man is really cruel! Manta: H...Hello. Didn't you just say 'Yoh-sama?' How do you know him, and what is the relationship between you two? Tamao: Well... Ryu: Please go out with me! Manta&Tamao: What?! Ryu: I am Bokutou no Ryu. Manta (the background): Ryu-san? Ryu (self-absorbed): My hobby is to find the Best Place. Please! Go out with me! Tamao: W..We...We... Well, I'm sorry! Actually, I already have someone who I like. Ryu walking towards Tamao with a bouquet of flowers shaped in a heart Ryu getting closer with lips outward, getting ready to kiss her Tamao: Nooo!!! Konchi: (hitting Ryu with his tail): Don't get carried away!! Ponchi aiming at Ryu's ball ~DONG~ Manta: R..Ryu-san? Ponchi: It's your turn now! Manta: Ahhh! Ponchi: Tamao! (strangling Manta) Tamao: That was very scary. Ponchi: Stop crying already. Let's finish them all! Tamao: Okay. Ponchi: How do you like this? Tamao: I'll say this again. Leave this place immediately. If you do, we won't harm you anymore. Ponchi: So, make up your mind. Manta: I...refuse. I came here to find Yoh-kun. I won't go home until I see Yoh-kun again! Tamao: Konchi! Konchi: Yeah. Tamao: Are you sure you're not going to leave this place? Manta: I'll give you the same answer no matter how many times you ask me. I'm not going home. Tamao: Then I'm going to have to demolish you. Konchi, let's go. Konchi in...Planchette! Manta: Oversoul? Who are you? Tamao: I am a training monk who serves under the Asakura family, Tamao Tamamura. This will be the last time. Are you staying? Or are you going to leave from this place? Manta: I came...here to see Yoh-kun. I will not turn back! Tamao ready to kill Manta Anna: Stop it, Tamao! Manta: That voice is... Tamao: A...Anna-sama! Manta: And Amidamaru too! Anna: I heard something that came out from your fortune telling. Tamao. Ponchi sweating Tamao: Yes, sir. It said that these people will bring misfortune to Yoh-sama. Anna: I see. Misfortune, eh? Raccoon and fox over there... Both Spirits: Yes ma'am?! Anna: Come over here. Both: Yes sir! Both sweating Ponchi: Well, Anna-sama...do you have anything to say, ma'am? Anna: Konchi. Konchi: Yes ma'am?! Anna: Is there something that you should tell me? Konchi: Well...nothing much really. Anna: Oh, is that so? Ponchi. Ponchi: Yes ma'am? Anna: Come towards me. Ponchi: Yes ma'am. Anna smashing Ponchi Ponchi: Waaaaaaaah! Anna-sama... Everyone terrified Ponchi: You are hurting me! Anna: Konchi. Konchi (scaried to death): I'm really sorry, ma'am! Tamao: Anna-sama, what is going on...? Anna: That long one and that small one are...Yoh's friends. Tamao: Eh. Eeeeeeeeh!?!? ~On a Path~ Anna: These two animals did something to your fortune telling. Konchi: Because we were a little bored lately and... Ponchi: ...since our bodies got rustly,we were thinking of doing some light exercise. Tamao: No way! Then, I did all that without realizing it? Aah, as I thought, I am still a greenhorn. Anna: Putting that aside, I didn't expect you to come this far. Manta: I didn't want to lose a friend. Anna: Do you really understand, Manta? Finding out more about Yoh...means getting involved deeply in the world of Shaman. The possibillity for you to be dragged into danger becomes higher. Manta: I've already made up my mind. Anna: Manta-kun...(keeps on walking, with a slight smile on her face) Tamao: Excuse me, Manta-san. I... Manta: Really, don't mind about it. Ponchi: But, Tamao, your fortune telling itself was not wrong. Tamao: Uh? -Asakura Resident- Manta: This is...Yoh's house...I didn't expect it to be this big. Anna: It's just simply old. Manta: It's not the subject...AAGH! Amidamaru: What's wrong, Manta-dono? Manta: It just hit me...I totally forgot about Ryu-san. Anna: Don't mind about him. It's Ryu that we are talking about. I bet he's seeing sights of Izumo in high spirits right now. -Shrine- Mikihisa: Ryu-kun. Wake up Ryu-kun. Ryu: Ah! Go out with me! (grabbing on to the man's leg) Mikihisa: ...Ryu-kun...come with me. -Resident- Tamao: This building was built about 600 years ago, and at one time, 191 students were living in here. Manta: That many? Tamao: That's what I heard. At that time, it was really lively. But, for now, it's only me who is a resident student who is training here. Anna: It's the trend of the times. We can't do anything about it. Tamao: I brought them with me, Yohmei-sama. Yohmei: You are Manta Oyamada-kun, right? I've heard a lot about you. Manta: Um, it's a pleasure to see you. Umm, I... Yohmei: I know. You came to see Yoh, right? Manta: Yes... Yohmei: Yoh is...dead. Manta: Ah.. Yoh-kun is dead? Why?! Yohmei: This will be a true statement if he doesn't come back within few days. Manta: What do you mean? Yohmei: Come with me. -In front of Cave- Ryu: Is it that terrifying hole? Mikihisa:Do you want to try yourself? Ryu: Is it possible? Mikihisa: Only if you promise me to come back when you feel danger, even if it's a tiny bit. If you go in deep, there will be no mending. -Other Side of the Cave- Manta: Then, Yoh is training in here to gain this Furyoku. Yohmei: That is right. If he's alive, he comes out of this hole. Manta: Yoh-kun. Yohmei: Wait. Inside of the hole of Yomi is the world of complete naught, where no light or sound would reach. If one without shaman training enters, he absolutely dies. It won't be any help if you go in there. Manta: But! Anna: Yoh entered in the hole with his own will. We don't have any right to stop him even if something happens. Manta: Anna-san... Anna: Only thing we can do is...just to wait for him to come out. -Inside the Cave- Ryu panting: Shit. It's really pitch black. There should be hands in front of my eyes, but I can't see anything. Are my eyes open or closed? Ah! Well, it's just a water drop. Wha...What is is going on here? Sound has...disappeared! Am I talking out loud right now? Or am I just thinking inside of my head? After all, am I alive? Uwaaaa!! (running out of the cave) Mikihisa: How was it? Ryu: What is it about his hole? Are you saying Master Yoh went in such a place? Mikihisa: Yeah. Although he's my son, I can't believe he actually went into this hole. Ryu: Mikihisa-san... -Night time at Asakura Resident- Tamao: Are you having a hard time falling asleep? Manta: Tamao-san. What are you doing this late? Tamao: I can't fall asleep either. Manta: I see. It's such a quiet place here. Tamao: Yes. But well, I don't know anywhere else but here. Manta: Is that so? Since when did you live here? Tamao: Me? I've been here since I was 4 years old. Manta: 4 years old...then, you've been training since you were that small? Tamao: Yes, but I was a real crybaby when I was small. I was always crying during the training. Yet, I still often cry. Manta: So do I. Tamao: But Yoh-sama is... Manta: I see. You've been training with Yoh-kun. Tamao: Yes. Yoh-sama kept smiling even during a very hard training. I saw him like that and that always made me determined to work hard. Manta: The guy you said you liked was... Tamao: Yoh-sama needs Anna-sama. Although it's the trend of the time, it's Yohmei-sama's way of thinking that the House of the Asakura cannot be extinct. For wives of Asakura, women with capability as shaman are required. Also...the one who is worried about Yoh-sama the most is probably Anna-sama. -Scene of Anna pouring a bowl of water onn herself- Manta: Yoh-kun is coming back, right? Tamao: Of course he is. -Next Morning- Tamao: Uhh, excuse me. Just a little while ago, my fortune telling said Yoh-sama was coming out of the Hole of the Yomi today. Manta surprise: Uh?! -At Hole of the Yomi- Yohmei: What you were saying was true, right, Tamao? Tamao: Yes. I am positive. Manta: Yoh-kun. Voice: Well well...we thought we couldn't see Yoh Asakura anywhere, he was hiding in a place like this. Voice2: He was hiding in a place like this. Manta: Who are they? Tamao: Long one and small one! Two girls jumping down from a cliff, the long one got stuck in sand Yohmei: Hmph, they seem like participants of the Shaman Fight. Girl2: It's not my fault. Anna: I'm guessing they are trying to get him out of the way before the offical fight starts. What a shameful thought. Girl1: Hurry up and come out of the sand! Hurry up! Girl2: Just wait! (finally getting out) Well, that's a rude thing to say. This is a legitimate stratgy. Manta: Strategy? Girl2: I'm sorry to say this, but I'll have Yoh Asakura dead. Milly, are you ready? Milly: Ok, Elly! (using her spirit to cave-in the exit) Elly: If that hole is closed, Yoh Asakura won't be able to come out, right? Yohmei sending out his leaf spirits Elly: Don't get in my way. Yohmei: Hmm, looks like you can fight a little. Milly: Another shot is on its way! Manta: Stop it! Milly: There is no such fool that would stop when he's told to stop. Anna looks on Elly: Good job, Milly. Do more! Manta: Uwaaa...!! Elly: I said not to get in my way. I'll cut you into pieces. (Anna throwing Harusame past Elly) What are you doing that for? Anna: I just retured it to its owner. Elly: Owner? Yoh: Nice, Anna. Manta: Yoh-kun! Yoh: It's loud out here. Huh? Who are you? Milly: Damn, what are we gonna do, Elly? Elly: What we are gonna do is what we are gonna do. I'm gonna cut you into pieces! Yoh: Hey! What are you doing all of a sudden? Milly: There is no time for you to look aside. Yoh: What is going on? Amidamaru: Yoh-dono! Hurry up and Hyoui Gattai. Yoh: What is it? You are too, Amidamaru? Amidamaru: What do you mean "You are too?" Hurry up and... Yoh: Even if you say so. Amidamaru going into the Harusame Elly: It's not good. Milly, hurry up! Milly: I know it already. (shoting her crossbow spirit) Yoh: Ah. Milly: It's not giving him any damage. Yoh: What is this? Amidamaru: Yoh-dono, they are trying to kill you. I am going to support you, so hurry! Yoh: Now I see what is going on. Why are you talking, Amidamaru?! Amidamaru: Now that you've mentioned it. Yohmei: The result of the training seems appeared already. Tamao: Uh? Yohmei: Yoh's Furyoku increased its level and now is incomparable with the earlier one. As a result, Yoh's Oversoul has attained evolution. Tamao: Evolution... Elly: It doesn't seem good, Milly. Milly: What are we going to do? Amidamaru: Yoh-dono. Yoh: Then, let's try and see the result of training. Elly&Milly: Ahhh. Yoh: Amidaryuu...Gokoujin! Elly&Milly: Ahh!! (both flying far away into water) Yoh: Well, they flew a lot. Amidamaru: I was surpirsed as well. Yohmei: It tells us that your Oversoul has evolved. Yoh: Jicchan. Yohmei: It's good for you to come out of the hole safely, Yoh. Yoh smiling, noticing Anna looking at him Anna turning her back to him (bit embarrassed) Anna: I guess you worked harder than you ever did. Yoh: You think so? Anna: For now, I would say you did a great job. (display of a smile on her face) Yoh: Thank you. Anna: There is someone waiting for you. Yoh: Uh? (turning his head, but seeing sparkling Ponchi and Konchi) Anna kicking both of them aside, revealing Manta Yoh: Manta. Manta: Yoh-kun. Well...I...I want to be friends with Yoh-kun all the time. Well... Yoh: Manta... Anna: How about telling him the truth? Amidamaru: She's right, Yoh-dono. Yoh: Um, well. I was, well, at that time...(stomach growling) Uh. Both laughing Manta: Let's go home, shall we? Yoh: Yeah. Tamao. Tamao: Yes. It's been awhile since I ate one of your meals. Can you cook a good meal for me? Anna turning from a happy face to a frowning/angry/annoyed face Yoh: O..o.oww. Why are you doing this, Anna!? (Anna pulling on Yoh's ear) Tamao: Yes! -End of Episode 18-
