Episode 8 Shaman Life -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -At a restaurant- Ryu: I've decided. Men: What?! Ryu: I will become a shaman. -At the airport- A woman walking with an evil smile on her face -At the Yoh's Place- Ryu: Please! Let me be your student! Yoh: Are you asking me? Ryu: Who else can I ask? I want to be a shaman too! Manta: WHAT?! Man: He was deeply touched by Yoh-san's fight. Man2: This is going to be a long story... Man3: Yeah. Ryu: As you know, I'm reaching my end. There's no room in housing, or society for me. What enjoyment is there while riding on my bike with my friends? Even then, I need money for gasoline. The world is a harsh place. Whenever I'm on my bike, I think... where did I come from? Where am I going? I ride like a madman on the never highways. I believe that if I keep riding, I'll end up somewhere, at least. I'm just trying to say that...I have the heart of a traveller with nowhere to go. That's all. (drinking tea from his cup) Manta: So what are you trying to say?! Ryu: Master! Yoh: Huh! Ryu: During your fight, I saw a real man! As a man, becoming a Shaman is the only path for me! Please...let me become your student! I beg of you! Yoh: Um...I don't know what to say... Anna: Ok... Yoh: Huh? Ryu: Huh? Anna: Only if you pass the test. Ryu: I've finished! Mistress Anna! Yoh: Wow. Manta: Amazing. Ryu: When it comes to cooking, I even impress myself. Anna tasting one of the food Ryu gulping Anna chewing slowly Ryu: Mistress Anna? Anna swallowing Anna: You pass. You can start work immediately. Ryu: YES! Man: What kind of test IS this?!(whispering) Man2: What does she mean by 'start work immediatly'? (whispering) Yoh eating the food Yoh: This is really good! Manta: Yeah, it's like a pro's cooking! Anna: Compared to your cooking, there's a world of difference. Yoh&Manta: Yes, that's true. Ah! Yoh: Anna...you... Manta: Maybe she'll use Ryu as a housekeeper... Ryu: I did it! I did it! I did it...! Yoh: He doesn't even have a clue... -At Ren's Place- Ren drying his sweat with a towel after exercising Ren seeing Jun looking out the window -In the Elevator- Ren: You seem to be in shock ever since your proud doll was defeated. I'll carry out your revenge. Jun: We're finished. Ren: Huh? Jun: Because of us, Pailong has been changed into a doll. Ren and Jun walking into the living room to find a woman sitting on a couch Jun: Gei Yin. -At Yoh's Place- Anna: This is your training schedule. Do exactly as it says. Ryu: I understand. Mistress Anna, I will become a perfect shaman. Anna: That's the spirit. Ryu: Yes. Ryu washing the bath Man: Breakfast is at 7:30. (reading the schedule) The entire morning is spent washing and cleaning. Lunch is at 12:30. Break-time is from 1 to 2. After that, wash the bath. What part of this is training?! Man2: It looks more like a housekeeper's job list. Ryu-san... Ryu: Shut up. I'm busy training right now, I don't have time to talk to you. Man2: Training? Isn't this just washing a bath? Ryu: You don't understand anything. Man: That's because there's nothing to understand...this isn't training! Ryu: What? This is fantastic training! Man3: No...all you do is chores from morning to night! Ryu: The student is always supposed to take care of his master and do his housekeeping. Man3: But, when does your shaman training start? Ryu: Huh. I see you still don't understand. The skills aren't taught, you have to steal them. While I live with Master Yoh, I will help with housekeeping, and do as Mistress Anna thinks best. Men shaking their heads Ryu: Well then, it's time to steal some skills. Manta: *He's such a good natured person.* Men2: What's he doing? (spying on Yoh) Ryu: Fool. He's meditating. It's for focusing your mind. Manta: It's true that mental conditioning is very important for a Shaman, so that he can call the spirit into his body and merge with it. Ryu: See...do you understand now? Manta: But maybe... Ryu: Huh? Maybe...? Yoh yawning and stretching Yoh: Ah, that was a good nap. My legs are stiff! Ah ha ha ha. Ryu and men falling to the ground Man3: What was that? Manta: Ah hehe... It's always like this. Ryu: I see...I get it now! Manta: Huh? Ryu: During the day, he pretends to be stupid, and then he goes off and trains in secret. Way to go, Master! Manta: That's not quite it... -At Ren's Place- Jun: It seems our father doesn't trust us much. Gei Yin: Everything is for the sake of the Tao family. Ren must become Shaman King at any cost. Jun: Um. Yin: I will dispose of Asakura Yoh for you. Jun: You don't need to do that, Gei Yin. Yin: What? Jun: You heard me. We don't need your help. Yin: Asakura Yoh is still alive, isn't he? Jun: Leave here now, Gei Yin. Yin: I'm sorry, but... Jun: Then I'll have to make you leave. Yin: What do you mean? Jun: Pailong! Pailong walking out from his coffin Yin: I find this hard to understand. Yugai (a nanja girl spirit). Tao En-sama's commands are absolute. Jun: Pailong! Pailong: Okay, Tao Jun. Yin: What do you mean by 'Okay'? Pailong: I'll show you! (attacking) Pailong trying to punch Yugai, who's dodging Jun: Pailong. after awhile of punching and dodging Yugai defeated Pailong Jun: Pailong! Yin: A corpse does not feel pain...Nor does it die. Jun: Hm...! (apparently angry) Ren: That's far enough, Gei Yin. (pointing his weapon, Kwan Dao, at her) Yin: You too? Ren: Don't misunderstand me. I don't care at all what you do. But if you hurt my sister, I won't forgive you. Leave here. Yin walking out Yin: He's too simple. Jun: Why did you let her go? Ren: I ask the same of you. Jun: I don't know. I have a feeling that Asakura Yoh will show us the answer. Ren: Then you will never know the answer...because I intend to kill him. (walking out the door) Jun looking at the sky Jun: That's right. I may never know the answer. -At Yoh's Place- Yoh staring at the sky, lacking off again seeing Anna glaring at him Yoh went back to his training right away Anna: Why were you doing that? Yoh: What do you mean by that? Anna: Do you like idling away your time? Yoh: Idling? That's not right, I was just taking a rest. Anna: You rest too long. Ryu ironing, while staring at the two Yoh: It's because I'm an easy-going person. Anna: Ok, from now on, I'll add double the weight. Yoh: Eh?! Why? Anna: I've told you before, they need to be heavy, or they won't be effective. Ryu not paying attention while ironing Ryu ironing his own hand in the process Ryu: Ah! (in pain) Ryu sweeping at the front of the house Ryu: Oh(seeing Yoh)! Are you running, master? Have a good run. Yoh: I'll be expecting a great dinner...one of the greatest pleasures after training is eating! (jogging away) This is so troublesome... Manta: But it's good for you! (riding beside Yoh) Yoh: Yeah, but it's so boring Ryu walking down the street, shopping for ingredients walking by a store Shop owner: Come on! Everything is half price! Buy everything! Everything must go! Lots of women rushing to the store, crashing Ryu who's in their way Ryu crawling out from under the crowd's feet Ryu: Huh? Manta: What are you doing? Yoh staring down at Ryu -On the way home- Yoh: Here. (holding out a wooden sword) Ryu: What's this? Yoh: I broke yours when I borrowed it. Ryu: Oh. (taking the sword) -while walking- Ryu: Master? Yoh: Yes? Ryu: I probably shouldn't say this because I'm the student, but you are a bit lazy. Yoh: What? Ryu: I think that being a Shaman is a full time job. I've heard that there will be a lot of people like Ren gathering. If you don't train hard, then I don't think you will be strong enough. That's what I think, at least. Manta: But, Yoh-kun is getting stronger. Ryu: The more you train, the stronger you will become! Am I wrong? Um... Yoh: Look up there. That cloud formation looks so wonderful. If I could nap up there, it would be so great... Ryu: You like the clouds...and you like to drift along with the winds. But if you drift with the winds, you can not focus in a Shaman Fight. Yoh: Ah(seeing Yin standing ahead)? Yin: Prepare to die! Asakura Yoh! Ryu: Eh! Manta: Yoh-kun! Yugai appearing Yoh pushing Manta and Ryu aside Yugai attacking Yoh blocking the hit Yoh: Ah (in pain)! Ryu: Master! Yugai choking Yoh with her weapon Ryu: It's cowardly to attack a retreating opponent! (rushing to help Yoh) Ryu getting a kick from Yugai Ryu flying to a tree trunk Ryu's hair sticking to the trunk Yoh getting free Yoh: I thought I was going to die there...Thank you, Ryu! Ryu doing a victory sign Yoh: Amidamaru! Amidamaru: Here. Yoh: Let's go. Amidamaru! Spirit Ball Mode! Hyoui Gattai! Amidamaru going into Yoh's body Yin: *If you're a good boy, I'll send you to heaven painlessly!* Yin throwing three shuriken (throwing blades) at Yoh Yoh dodging them Ryu: Master! (throwing the wooden sword to him) Yoh catching the sword Yoh blocking with the sword Ryu: Is she another one of Ren's friends? Manta: I don't know, but somehow she feels similar to Pailong! Yoh still in defending mode Yoh throwing Yugai to the ground Yoh: It doesn't make any difference what weapons you use. Yin: Um. Then how about this? Yoh: Ah? Yugai using double team Ryu: It's an illusion! Amidamaru: Damn you! Using illusions! Yoh being tricked by Yugai's illusions Yoh getting beat up Yoh: Amidamaru. Amidamaru: Calm down, Yoh-dono. Now, close your eyes. Yoh: Eyes...Ok. Amidamaru: There is only one opponent. Don't be fooled by her tricks. Feel with your heart. Yoh hitting the real Yugai hard in the face Manta: He did it! Ryu: A...Amazing! Yugai using paralyzing gas Manta and Ryu falling to the ground Yoh: My body has become numb! Amidamaru: They've resorted to dirty tricks! Yugai throwing shurikens at Yoh Yoh blocking it while still paralyzed Yugai throwing shurikens again slashing Yoh's cloth and face Manta: Y...Yoh-kun! (still paralyzed and laying on the ground) Yin: *I will send you to the other world slowly.* Huh? Yoh: That's problematic. If I don't return home soon and make dinner, Anna will get mad again. Ryu: That's my job, master. (also still paralyzed and laying on the ground) Yoh: Is that so? Yin: You've gone numb in the head too. Good. Finish him off! Yugai! Yugai throwing shurikens straight at Yoh Yoh blocking them with the sword Yoh: Amidamaru is a samurai who killed a thousand people. To him, this numbness isn't a problem. Right, Amidamaru? Amidamaru: That's right! Yin: You talk too much brat! Shut him up! Yugai! Yugai throwing shurikens at Yoh again Yoh: Amidaryu! Senpu Battagiri! (blocking Yugai's attack and attacking her at the same time) Yugai jumping high in to the air, dodging the counter attack Yin: Your struggles are useless. Yoh: I can still move my body! (sending another Amidaryu Senpu Battagiri at Yugai) Amidamaru: You can't dodge in the air! Yugai getting hit by the attack Yugai shattering into a thousand pieces Yin: Ah...(shocked) Yoh: So, what do you plan to do now? Yin: Hm! (walking away) Amidamaru separating from Yoh's body Yoh: Ah...(in relief) That's good. I was barely able to do this much. Amidamaru: Hm. Ryu: Master Yoh is great! He pretends to be lazy when we are around but I bet he trains hard when no one is around. Manta: I don't think Yoh-kun's power works like that. Ryu: Then how does it work? Manta: Um. Well, Yoh-kun behaves the same way wherever he goes. He's so easy going that he can laugh just like he was during the fight. I don't really understand him. Ryu: If you don't know, then don't say you do! Manta: Ah hehe. Ren hinding behind a tree Ren: *Asakura Yoh...How can you laugh during a fight? (while walking away) Yoh: Are you two alright? Manta: We'd better go home! Anna will be waiting for us, I bet she's starving! Ryu: But my body is so numb, I can't move. Yoh: Huh? Anna appearing behind them Yoh&Manta&Ryu: Ah! (all standing straight up) Anna's eyebrow twitching while her stomach's growling from hunger -Meanwhile, in a place in China- Man: Asakura...Yoh...
