Episode 5 A Shaman Who is Mature for Her Age ----------------------------------- A little bit of overlapping from the ending of the previous episode -At the Hospital (still)- Yoh (awaking up): Huh? Seeing Manta sleeping in a sitting position with Amidamaru's mortuary tablet in his arms Manta's slippers fall off his feet The sound of the slippers landing on the floor wake Manta up Manta: Good morning... Yoh: The weather's nice. The girl walking up the stairs of the hospital Yoh: That guy..What about Ren...? Manta: I don't know. Yoh: I see...Amidamaru. Amidamaru: How do you feel? Yoh: Not bad,(stretching his shoulder) but my body hurts here and there. Amidamaru: That's how you get stronger. Yoh: It's okay even if I'm weak...I really hate being in pain. Amidamaru: Humph. Yoh: Hehehe... Girl: Really, being lazy and all... Manta, Yoh, Amidamaru: Huh? Girl: The future looks rough.. Manta: Uh, excuse me..Who might you be? Girl: Shut up,...water meat bun. Manta (angry): Wa...Water! Girl: It's been a while, Yoh. Yoh: Ah, hi...Anna. Manta: Do you know each other? Yoh: Uh..A childhood friend... Anna: His fiancee. slience Manta&Amidamaru: Fiancee!? (very very shocked) Anna: Your injuries...They don't look like they're a big deal. Yoh: Ha... Anna: I'm thirsty. (talking to Manta) Juice. Go buy one for me (looking scary, or evilly). -In the Lobby- Manta: Who the hell is she...? Why do I have to run the errands..? Although I don't think too well of myself for following her orders...That's that. Why did you follow me? silence Manta: Let's go. She'll probably nag at us for being late. Yoh: Eh?! Already? Let's take our time and relax first, then go. Manta: Somehow, you don't look like you want to go back. sitting on a bench in the lobby Manta: So, the fiancee thing was real. Yoh: Yeah... Manta: That's a unique tale for this time and place. The parents deciding their kids will marry. Yoh: I guess it's that 'Shaman for Shaman'...Probably... Manta: Eh!?...Then, she's a shaman also? Yoh: Anna is a Spiritualistic Medium. Manta: Spiritualistic Medium...? Yoh: Ah...I knew this day would come...It's become quite a difficult situation... Manta: I understand...Even I wouldn't know what to do if my fiancee showed up so suddenly. Yoh: No, that's not what I meant. It's Anna. Every memory I have of her involves me crying at the end. Manta: *I think I can understand that feeling.* Yoh: Ah...I think I should run away... Manta: What about Amidamaru? Yoh: Huh? Anna: You're late. (holding Amidamaru as hostage)You were planning to run away, and forget about this samurai spirit? Amidamaru: Yoh-dono. (streams of tears running down his face) Yoh: Um! (standing up straighter) Manta: *She...She saw right through us...(with a sweat drop on his head)* Anna: I guess I was right after all. How shameful. Well that's fine...That's why I came here. (releasing Amidamaru) Yoh: Ah? A very happy Amidamaru went to Yoh's side Anna: From today on, you have to undertake my special training course. Yoh: Special? What's that mean? Anna: Don't you want to become a Shaman King? Then, do as I command. I won't do anything bad to you. Yoh: I...I have my own ways of carrying things out... Anna: ...Do you want to die? Yoh: Huh... Anna: For you as you are right now, Shaman King is a dream amongst dreams. Not only that, against all the Shamans gathering from all over the world, you won't even survive. Amidamaru: All over the world?! Manta: Survive...? What are you talking about? Yoh: Anna... Anna: Yes. People forgot about the existance of the great spirit, and acted solely on their desires. Now that the world is filled with chaos, the time has finally come to accept the king of spirits. Shamans from all over the world gathering, fighting over the Shaman's place as the savior of this world. 'Shaman Fight in Tokyo'. Manta: 'Shaman Fight'...'In Tokyo'? 'In Tokyo', she says. Anna: What's so funny? Water meat bun. Manta: Ah, uhm...scary... Anna: Humans only can reveal their true potential during an abosolutely critical situation. That's why... fighting is the best way to decide who will be the Shaman King. In Tokyo...Shamans from all over the world are already gathering. With their ideals in their heart, with their most trusted spirits. Amidamaru: Yoh-dono... Yoh: Yeah... Amidamaru: Then, that boy Ren, too? Anna: Knowing this, your need for special training is obvious, isn't it? Yoh: Um...Even so...I still think... I have my own way of... Anna: You have to live through the Shaman Fights! Manta: Why is she so worked up? Anna: Because, I want be the Shaman King's First Lady. Since you'll be my husband, you have to become Shaman King no matter what... As for me...You have to give me an easy life! Manta: What... Manta, Yoh, and Amidamaru: What's that!? A Week Later -Asakura's house- Manta: Who would have thought it would be such a huge building for one family... Door opening Yoh come out the door Manta: Yo! Yoh-kun...Eh?? Yoh falling on Manta Manta: Ah! Yoh-kun! Yoh-kun! Yoh-kun!!! Attaching such heavy things to your arms and legs...And then running 50 km everyday...It's hell...It's no wonder you collapsed after a week of this. Yoh: I think so too...But then, Anna is being persistent, saying 'Train, Train'... Manta: Um...Even so, I think I sort of understand her reasoning. Yoh: Huh? Manta: Because, to win in a shaman fight, the shaman's ability must match the main spirit's ability. No matter how strong the carrying spirit is, there's no point if the Shaman can't draw out 100 percent of his ability. Yoh: That much...I know already. That's why...No matter how hard it is, I must give it my all. To be a Shaman suitable for Amidamaru. Manta: So you are constantly reminding yourself, in order to endure this hard training? Yoh: Ahh...(crying) Manta: Even so...She doesn't seem to be watching you all day long, so Yoh-kun should be able to easily slack off, right? Yoh: The thing is...My body won't listen...My body's painful memories...I cried every time she caught me, ever since childhood... Manta: That's so sad...(with a sweat drop on his head) Yoh: And if I slack off by any chance, these guys will report everything to Anna, and she'll kill me...(pointing behind him) Manta: These guys...? (looking to where Yoh is pointing) Ah!!! (seeing four spirits) Yoh: They are the family who used to live in this house. There was a big tragic incident, that is...if you want to hear about it? Manta: I'm scared enough!...I should say, it's funny how well you're living in a place like this. Yoh: Well, for us, being haunted means nothing. Manta: Us...? Yoh: Anna and I. Manta: Eh?! You two are living together!? Yoh: Um. Manta: I guess that's somewhat expected for an engaged couple... Anna: Why are you slacking off? (appearing suddenly behind them) Yoh&Manta: Ah! Amidamaru: Yoh-dono...(being hold as a hostage, again) Spirit whispering to Anna Anna: It seems you only ran 10 kilometers today. Yoh: Ah, um...I was about to work on the rest... Anna: I see...Then, go. -At the Front of the House- Yoh running off Manta: Good luck, Yoh-kun...Well then, I'll be...(walking away) Anna: Stop right there. Manta: I...Is there something...? -Inside the House- Manta cleaning the floor Anna: After you finish that side, you have to do this side too! When that's finished, prepare dinner! Manta(muttering to himself): Why me?! Anna laying on the floor reading a magazine, while eating cookies, with Amidamaru (whose crying) tied beside her Somewhere, Yoh is running hard -In a Hotel- Ren taking a shower Ren coming out from the shower room Woman: You seem healthy, Ren. It's good to see that. Ren: What did you come here for? Big sister.. -Next morning- Yoh waking up went out to do his running exercise Yoh falling asleep at school Anna caught Yoh asleep, and made Manta and Yoh do a sitting position, without a chair outside the classroom Yoh doing more running after school Yoh doing sit-ups Yoh doing lifting weights Manta doing the cooking Anna watching TV, with Amidamaru (still crying)tied up beside her Manta and Yoh taking a hot spring bath after finish their work -Night Time- Asakura's house Anna closing the door after putting a blanket on Yoh, whose asleep at the entrance hall after coming home from his exercise -The Next Day- Inside a Hotel the ringing of telephone Woman: Front desk...Yes. Manager! Manager: Yes? Huh? Men bring three coffins to Ren's room Ren's sister: Thanks. (to a man, probably the manager, not sure) Man going out the door Ren: What do you plan to do with these puppets? Sister: I was thinking of dropping by to say "hello"...to the Asakura kid who hurt you.(taking out three spell charms) Three coming out from the coffins -At Yoh's Place- At the Entrance Hall Yoh getting ready to do his running exercise Yoh: Huh? Going out? Anna: I'm going to wander around. You better not slack off. Yoh: I know. Huh? Anna: When that guy Ren ambushed you again, the chances of you getting lucky and achieving Hyoi 100%...Are impossible. Yoh: Yeah...I know. -Outside the House- Anna: Later. Yoh: What are we going to have for dinner? Anna: I'll leave it to you. Yoh: That's my biggest problem... each going their own way Anna: Huh? (seeing a black van parked near the house) Anna walking past the van the van driving away Anna turning around, looking suspiciously -At the Park- Yoh: Huh? (still running) Manta waving to Yoh Manta: Amidamaru is still in her possession? (riding after Yoh in his bike) Yoh: Yeah. Manta, what about your supplemental vacation classes? Manta: Hmm? Only in the morning, today. Yoh: Hm. Even though its summer...You actually feel like studying? Manta: I like studying to begin with. Yoh: I can't understand. Manta: Yoh-kun, you train on a daily basis too, don't you? Yoh: I'm being forced to! Ah...I want to roll around inside the house. Manta: He-he. How many more kilometers today? Yoh: 30... Manta: Still that much...Huh? Isn't that the spirit from Yoh-kun's house? The spirit pointing to a direction Yoh: Ah! It's a signal to course change! I might have to run even further...(very depressed) Manta with a sweat drop on his head Yoh: Why this kind of place? Anna...She's not asking me to swim across here, right? Manta: From her, it wouldn't surprise me. The sound of tires screeching to a stop Manta: Huh? seeing a black van parked near them, with three hooded figure standing beside the van, each with a spell charm on the face Manta: Who are they? Yoh: Ah! Get away, Manta! The three figure(chinese zombies)throwing away their cloak, and begin attacking Yoh Yoh blocking the attack, falling to the ground because of the force of the attack Manta: Yoh-kun! Yoh-kun! Let's run! Yoh getting up from the ground Yoh: I don't want to run anymore today... Manta: Ah? What are you talking about!? There are three of them! And Amidamaru is... Yoh: It's okay. (taking off the weights on his wrist and leg)It'll work out somehow. Amidamaru: That's the spirit! (appearing suddenly) Manta: Amidamaru!? How? Anna standing in the shadow of a tree not far from them Manta: *It's no good, Yoh-kun. Your body is still too worn out from your running...It's not possible...Even with Amidamaru, you can't win! Yoh: Amidamaru! Spirit Ball mode! Hyoi Gattai! Amidamaru! the zombies attacking Yoh Yoh dodging the attack landing near a metal pipe picking it up then dodging a bunch of other attacks Amidamaru: These guys...are they Ren's companions? Or, could it be a different Shaman? Yoh: Don't ask me...*What? I can see my opponents' moves easily...And my body feels light.* A limousine pulling up near them Ren's sister looking out the limousine window Yoh dodging attacks from his opponents Manta: *Even though it's three on one, I can somehow just relax and watch.* Anna: *I guess the results of training are finally showing.* Amidamaru: We can't win just by dodging, Yoh-dono. Yoh: If you want to fight, you should say so honestly, Amidamaru. Defeating the zombies in one hit the zombies turning into dust the limosine driving away Anna looking at the limosine as it is driving away Manta: You were great, Yoh-kun! I was worried since you were facing three opponents. Amidamaru (after separating from Yoh): Me too! Unlike the Hyoi Gattai in the past, I was very comfortable uniting! Yoh: I, who hate to exercise, exercised that much...It's the outcome of my training! Amidamaru: Hm. Manta: Anna also, maybe she wasn't just a demanding girl...who seemed like a demon! Yoh: Um... -At Yoh's Place- Yoh: This...What is this...(more weights added to Yoh) Anna: Each is only 10Kg. (~22Lb) It's not too much, right? Starting tomorrow, run with those on. Yoh (whining): It's impossible! I can't even walk... Anna: That's to be expected if you want to become a Shaman King. If your main spirit is the King of Spirits, you can do anything you want with the world. Also, with me...you can...Anyways, hurry up and make food. Yoh looking at Amidamaru and Manta with streams of tear running down his face Amidamaru&Manta: Um. (turning their face away from Yoh, each with a sweat drop on their head) Yoh: Ah! (still crying) Manta: *Don't look at me like that...* (tears streaming down his face) Amidamaru: *I'm sorry, Yoh-dono.* (tears also streaming down his face) Anna: Hurry up and get the supper ready! Yoh! Yoh: Eh... -At the Hotel- Ren's sister: Asakura Yoh...There's nothing great about him. I don't understand why you had such a tough time. Heh...Don't feel bad, Ren. I'll crush him for you. ~End of Episode 5~
