Shaman King Episode 6: Kung Fu Master ----------------------------------------- -At the Hotel- Ren's Sister: Asakura Yoh...There's nothing great about him. I don't understand why you had such tough time. Haha. Don't feel bad Ren. I'll crush him for you. My duty is to support you. Samurai skills won't work on my main spirit. The Next Day Yoh running (gasping hard) Manta following Yoh on his mini bike Yoh: Let's stop for a bit...(stopping at a bench) Let me take a break, just a little one... Amidamaru appearing Amidamaru: Don't give up, Yoh-dono! You're already half done! Yoh sitting on the bench Yoh: You mean I still have half left?! Ah. If tears are the perspiration of the heart..Then perspiration is the tears of the body. Manta: Although, it's amazing that you've kept up this long. Yoh: What? Manta: Those weights...keep on getting heavier. Yoh: As of late, my food has been tasting great. Manta&Amidamaru: Ah? (mouth open) Yoh: In other words...It's like working out in order to eat tasty meals. Hahaha... Manta: That's...Isn't it tough? Yoh: Well, if I train, fighting will be easier for me and Amidamaru. Plus...If I think it' fun, it'll be fun. Amidamaru: Yoh-dono... Yoh stretching getting up from the bench Yoh: At this rate, I'll be able to eat 5 bowls of rice easily. Manta: His stomach certainly seems well enough. Yoh start to run again with Manta following behind Yoh and Manta passing a poster Manta stopping suddenly Manta: Ah! Yoh stop running turning around to see what's wrong with Manta Manta: Li Pailong?! (seeing the poster) On the Poster White Dragon Revival Fist of Anger Now Playing! Yoh: What's a Li Pailong? Manta: Huh?! You don't know?! Amidamaru&Yoh: Nope. Manta: Li Pailong is, in the history of movies. No, in the history of the human world! He's an action star from 17 years ago that will be renowned forever! Yoh: Oh... Amidamaru: Aku-shon Star? (Aku-Evil in Japanese) Is he a bad guy? Manta: No! Li Pailong is a kung fu hero who fights alone against evil, with his body alone! He has a super human body, so he can perform super actions! His strength booms all over the world! He is famous historically! Yoh: If it was 17 years ago, I wasn't even born yet... Amidamaru: This is after I died, so... Manta: You should watch this movie! It will change the way you think! Yoh: Um...Nah. Also, I don't have Anna's permission. (start running again) Manta falling off his bike Manta: Wait! Fist of Anger is one of his best titles! Ren's sister spying on them from a black van Manta: Li Pailong once said, 'In a battle of strength, the person himself, as well as the opponent, will be hurt.' As he said, recoil occurs on extreme force. When the limit of one's power is reached, he will be destroyed. It's like...'The Wildness of Flowing Water,' known by many. 'Thick tree branches can be broken easily, but thin and flexible small tree branches won't be broken.' Li Pailong mocks his opponent with feints and various kicking skills. And then...He gives his final blow when he spots an opening! How is it? Think it will be helpful in a Shaman Fight? Yoh: Shaman Fights are different from martial arts. Manta: Uh. That's true... Yoh: You...Why do you want me to watch Li Pailong's movie so much? Manta: Yoh-kun...I want Yoh-kun to know...The things I like...I want you to know them. Yoh: I see. Manta: The great thing about Li Pailong is...That strength is not only within fictional stories, but is in movies as well! Yoh: Ah. At dinner time -Inside Yoh's house- Yoh eating a big bowl of rice (more like swallowing down the rice without chewing) Anna watching TV Manta: He mixed up martial arts from across the world, and created his own Kung Fu, Daodan Do! Yoh: Daodan Do? Manta: It's called the most powerful martial art in the world. It's a one-hit sure-kill fighting art! Known as Daodan in China, in other words, it possesses the destructive power of missiles! Yoh: Eh? (leaning foward to hear) Anna: No. I won't give you any money to watch movies. Yoh&Manta: Ah?! Anna: Any problems? Yoh&Manta: Um... Yoh start to eat his bowl of rice again Manta sweat dropping Manta: Even so...Daodan Do's true objective isn't to defeat the enemy. Yoh: Meaning? Manta: Li Pailong's goal was, to understand himself through martial arts, and to find the greatest thing in the world. Yoh: You certainly know a lot. Manta: It's common sense, common sense. Anna: What are you talking about? Since he's weak, without realizing it, he admires strong people. Manta: Hah?! Anna: Admiration, is something that gets stronger the more far fetched it is. Manta in a corner (getting depressed) Yoh: Hey...If you get discouraged from just that, you won't be able to keep up... Manta: Far fetched...Yeah, Li Pailong is definitely way beyond my level... Yoh: Eh? Manta: 17 years ago, before he completed Daodan Do, he died mysteriously. Yoh: He's dead? Manta: Yea. Also, the body disappeared during the funeral...It's been a mystery until even now. Anna: A dead body...Disappeared? Yoh: Thanks for the meal! (after finishing his dinner) Manta: Anna-san...It'll be ok, right? Since Yoh-kun is training hard everyday, letting him taking a break once in a while...Anna-san! Anna: I'll go too. Manta: Eh? Anna: What? Manta: No, it's nothing... Yoh: Then shall we all go check it out? Li Paoling's strength. Amidamaru: I want to go too. -At the Theater- In the movie Man: This is where you will die, for disobeying me. Regret your actions in the other world...Foolish White Dragon! Yoh watching the movie Yoh: Oh! In the movie Li Pailong: Don't make me laugh! Taste my fury! (fighting the bad guys) Yoh: Ah! Amazing! Yoh getting punched in the face by Anna Anna: Shut up. After the Movie Outside the Theater Yoh: Ah! (stretching) Li Pailong is really great! Manta: Isn't he?! Yoh: Yeah, he was so cool! Manta: Going into the enemy's base all by himself... Yoh&Manta together: Don't make me laugh! Taste my fury! Acho, Acho, Acho! Anna: Simpletons... Amidamaru: I was touched too. This movie thing, it was the first time I've seen one, but...it was truly great. Yoh: The wildness of flowing water...Such a cool thing to say...(starting to go) suddenly bumping into a Chinese Zombie Yoh: What the... Manta: Yoh-kun! Yoh: Ah! Amidamaru: Yoh-dono! We've seen this guy before! More Chinese Zombies appearing Anna: Kyonshi. (Chinese Zombie or Frozen Corpse) Manta: Yeah...They're moving corpse puppets! Kyohshi! Yoh: Both of you, stay away. Yoh getting a metal pipe from a nearby alley Yoh: Amidamaru! Spirit Ball Mode! Hyoui Gattai! Manta: There are too many of them! Anna: It's alright. Yoh destroying the zombies easily Girl: He's better than I thought. What an amusing kid. Yoh: I think I'm getting pretty good. Amidamaru: Yeah. I feel stronger, and even more comfortable while we're united! Yoh: Heh...It wasn't only that food tasted better, after all this training...(hearing clapping) Huh? Girl: It was great. Asakura Yoh-kun. Yoh: Ah? Girl: Not being able to hold you off with that many kyonshi...I apologize for underestimating you. Yoh: Who are you? Girl: My name is...Tao Jun. Yoh: Tao Jun... Manta: Tao? Then... Jun: I'm Ren's big sister. Anna: Are you a Shaman also? Jun: Yeah...I'm a Priest. Yoh: Priest? Manta: I think...Priests are Shamans who can control kyonshi with mere commands. With words written on a charm...It's possible to program kyonshi with mutiple commands. Anna: Yeah. Jun: Priests are a part of the Shaman bloodline, who have decended down amongst our mighty kingdom. I came here because I have a favour to ask you. Yoh: Favour? Jun: For my lovely little brother, Ren. Could I take your samurai, Amidamaru? Yoh: Eh? Even if you asked nicely, I couldn't just say "Oh, is that all?" Jun: It would be to your own advantage to give it up nicely. Now, come out...My warrior...Li Pailong! Manta: Eh? Li Pailong? Li Pailong appearing behind Manta and them Yoh: She couldn't mean...? Manta: That's...! Li Pailong! Yoh: Ah! Manta: Ah! (both very surprised) Jun: You should fully understand his strength by now...After that movie. Yoh: Li Pailong's...Kyonshi... Manta: No way...That's... Jun: That's correct. Li Pailong is my main spirit. The strongest of the Tao family's possessions. The ultimate corpse weapon! Manta(very shocked): Possession?! Weapon? Jun: Now...Before I let Li Pailong move...Hand over your samurai. Yoh: No. Jun: Eh. Yoh: You don't want that, right Amidamaru? Amidamaru: Of course not. Jun: So you intend to stand in Ren's way until the end? Yoh: No. Amidamaru is my friend. That's why I can't trade him off like and item. Jun: Friend... Yoh: Yeah. Jun: Ha! What a stupid excuse. Yoh: It's true! Jun: It seems...I have no choice but to kill you. Combat seal! Equip! Pailong, teach that kid a lesson! Yoh: Amidamaru! Amidamaru: I know! Target the charm! Jun: Too weak! Pailong blocking the attack easily Yoh falling to the ground Manta: Yoh-kun! That is...Li Pailong's specialty, Nunchuku! Could it really be... Yoh getting up Manta: Li Pailong himself?! Jun: Of course. We priests control our main spirits within the spirit's own body while we manipulate them. Anna: Since it's their body to begin with...They can always maintain Hyoi 100 percent. (Hyoi 100 percent-100 percent state of fusion) Jun: That is correct. In other words, the ability of this kyonshi...Is the same as the living Li Pailong's. Manta: That's... Yoh attacking Li Pailong Li Pailong blocking, senting Yoh flying back Yoh: Damn! Jun: My Pailong's unstoppable power! With that body...Feel the pain! Li Pailong bunching Yoh hard on the stomach Yoh: Eh! Manta: Yoh-kun! Jun: Resistance is futile. You can't win against me. Now. Hand over that samurai. Yoh (in pain): Like I said...Giving and taking...Can not be done that easily! Jun: I see...You...So you don't mind being killed, right? Then I will do this. (adding more commands to Pailong) Pailong! Attack this kid until he dies! Pailong: Hojankyaku! Yoh: Eh! Jun: You're weak! Paiong: Jonenkyaku! Yoh: Ehh! Yoh landing on the ground hard Yoh: Ehh!! Yoh trying to get up Yoh: This guy's...really strong...(falling to the ground) Manta: Yoh-kun! (running to Yoh's side) Are you alright? Open your eyes! Jun: It's no use. Manta: Huh? Jun: No human can stand after being attacked by my Pailong. Step aside. I'll remove the samurai's spirit from that kid. Manta: Why? Li Pailong was supposed to be a guardian of justice...My... He was my idol...How could you do such a cruel thing? Jun: What are you talking about? Manta: Even if he's dead, Li Pailong is still Li Pailong! Anna: Li Pailong isn't the one at fault here. Manta: Eh? Anna: Even if it's his own body, he's still a kyonshi. The fact that he's being manipulated doesn't change. That's why...The bad one is the girl who's manipulating him. Manta: Then...Then Pailong is...Ignoring his own will. Jun: A shaman is someone who controls spirits. The spirit's will is meaningless. In our Tao family, to become a great shaman...We recieve our main spirits when we are children. Ever since I was born, 17 years ago, Li Pailong has been under my command. Manta: 17 years...Could it be? Jun: Yes. Li Pailong is...the best present ever given to me by my father. Manta: How could that be...That's too much...The Pailong I used to admire...was killed for this...I can't believe this. Jun: You're so stupid for crying. No matter how much emotion you show... Kyonshi don't have feelings. Yoh: That's not true! Jun: Ah?! Yoh: Spirits aren't things! (getting up from the ground) It's the feeling itself. There is no spirit without feelings! Manta: Yoh-kun! Yoh: I'm pretty tough. hehehe... Manta: Yoh-kun... Jun: Impossible! There shouldn't be anyone who can take Li Pailong's attacks and still stand! Yoh: Of course it hurt...But even so...to me and Amidamaru...attacks with any hesitation won't work. Jun: Hesitation, you say? Yoh: That's right. No matter how much you may control his body with the charm...You can't control his heart! Isn't that right? Li Pailong? tears running down from Pailong's eyes Manta: Ah! (surprised) Jun: Impossible! For a frozen corpse to have feelings...Ah! Asakura Yoh...Could it be, that the appearance of this boy...has reawakened Pailong's dormant feelings...That can't be! Pailong! He's not dead yet...Hurry up and finish him! What are you doing? Well! Well! Manta: Ah!!! (scared) Yoh: Just wait, Li Pailong! I'll take off that charm...(blocking Pailong's attack)And set your soul free! Jun: That's foolish. It's impossible to win against Li Pailong. Don't you get that by now?! Yoh: Of course I don't! I'll try until the very end! (going to attack Pailong) Pailong kicked him in the face Yoh falls to the ground hard, again Jun: That's why I said it was impossible. To my Li Pailong...an attack in that range is definite. Pailong...show him the way to death. Pailong! Pailong attacking Yoh again Yoh trying to block the attacks with the pipe Manta: Uh! Anna-san...Lend some power to Yoh-kun! Anna: I was never planning to help him. Manta: Eh? Anna: That's because...this is just another trial Yoh has to face to become Shaman King. If he loses to an opponent like this...he can never be one. I...Don't want to become the wife of a man... who doesn't even have a chance of success in the future! Manta: What?! What kind of woman are you? Anna: Shut up! Women are realistic. Even so...I think Yoh can be one... That's why I'm here. Yoh: Ah!! Pailong knocking Yoh to the ground Yoh landing hard on the ground, on his butt Manta: Yoh-kun! Amidamaru: My apologies, Yoh-dono. If only...If I had something resembling a real katana, I might be able to do something... Yoh(through pain): Something resembling a katana? Manta: What do you mean? Amidamaru: If I had a katana with a grip handle...I could destroy that absolute defense of his, and attack from outside his attack range. To slash off that troublesome charm. Yoh: From outside his attack range? Manta: *A katana with a grip handle...* Ah?! (seeing Jun and Pailong standing in front of them) Jun: Uh..Hahaha...You are a shameful samurai for blaming your lack of skill on a katana. Yoh and Amidamaru glaring at Jun Jun (to Manta): If you don't want to get involved...Get out of here. Manta: UH! This time, she's getting serious?! Jun: Hurry! Manta: Ah...! (running away) Yoh: Manta! Jun: He's a smart friend. Yoh: Manta... Jun: I can't play around with you any more. I'll finish this now... End of Episode 6
