[Okino] "I am Okino."

My entire existence,

I have been training for this day.

For this hour.

For this moment.

Terra Karana is a place of danger.

Peril awaits at every turn.

Victory is impossible...

Without a proper guide.

I am that guide.

They call me Okino,

Samurai of Terra Karana.

If I am worthy,

I will lead my Master to triumph.

That is my sole purpose in life.

For I am Okino!

Oh golly, what do we have here?

I am Okino, Samurai of Terra Karana.

I will be your guide through the three deadly challenges

you must surmount in order to defeat the Red Dragon and--

Ho-ho-ho-hold your horses.

You are saying a lot of words really fast.

Let's start over.

Deadly challenges.

Three.

The Forest of Discontent,

the Cliffs of Hysteria,

and finally, the Maze of the red dragon.

Oh. The who?

The Red Dragon.

[gasps] Samurai stuff, huh?

I knew I should have got some armor!

And this Red Dragon fella,

he's got the key thing right?

-The Keytana, yes. -Ho-ho!

And I need to get that to win the game!

Got it, Pocono!

-Okino. -Well same thing.

Okie dokie now,

you say the Forest of Discontent's up first?

Master!

[beeps]

When I'm done with it,

it'll be called the Forest of--

[screams]

Oh, my. That was a doozy.

Guess I didn't see that coming.

As your guide, allow me to suggest that we take cover

-and proceed in a more-- -Oh come on,

what are the chances of the same thing happening twice!

[chuckles] Yee-ha!

[warbles]

Master, perhaps it would be better if we--

Went around the thorn!

I got it this time! We'll go this way!

[screams]

[sighs]

Because you only have one life remaining,

it is of grave importance that you--

Go the other direction!

This ain't my first rodeo.

[chuckles, screams]

Master!

[clangs]

[whirring]

[gasps]

[tense music]

[sighs]

I failed that Master.

Some Masters are difficult.

[Okino] I must try harder.

I will not fail again!

I am Okino!

-[gasps] -[Okino] I am Okino.

I will be your guide through the three deadly challenges

you must surmount in order to--

Ooh, ooh. I read about this on a gamer blog.

There's like, what, the Emo Woods

or Forest of Melancholy or something?

Discontent. [sighs]

Forest of Discontent.

Right, and then it's the Hysterical Cliffs?

Cliffs of Hysteria, but yes.

And you'll help me get through all this?

It is my sworn duty to protect and aide you!

Phew! That's great!

I think we're gonna make a great team together, Okino.

Come on!

[screams]

-No! -[screams]

[warbles]

[woman screams]

Seriously?

-[yelling] -[thuds]

Oh, come on.

[sighs]

[Okino] Providing guidance to my Masters

has proven to be

a difficult path, but this is my purpose

and I will persist.

I am Okino!

No!

[man groaning]

-[creature burps] -[sword clangs]

Ooh! Ah.

Mm-mm. [vomits]

[sighs]

-[screams] -[grunts]

Ow!

[whirring]

[exhales sharply]

[Okino] My entire existence,

I have been training for this day.

For this hour.

For this moment.

Terra Karana is a place of danger.

Peril awaits at every turn.

Victory is impossible.

[Okino snoring]

-[zapping] -[clanging]

Who goes there?

Huh?

I am Okino, samurai of Terra Karana.

I will be your guide

through these three deadly challenges you must--

Ah. A fellow guide.

Well met!

We hope you will forgive our suspicion, good samurai.

For we have faced many deadly traps

and ambushes on our journey.

Uh, you have...

Travelled long?

We have!

It fills me with pride

to say that I have served my master well

And my guidance has protected him

through many perils.

That is most honorable...

To be clear, you're saying your master

has not repeatedly been destroyed?

Certainly not.

He has not run into the same trap

over and over, despite all warnings?

Of course not.

And has not been caught in a bear trap?

Or by Swamp-Teeth?

Thankfully, no.

The advice of my faithful guide

has spared me from any such lamentable fate.

Most impressive.

And... [sighs]

...to what do you ascribe your great success,

brother samurai?

My great skills and extensive training

-are vital, of course... -Of course.

But more than anything else,

I rely on a positive mental attitude!

A positive mental attitude?

Yes, eternal hope.

Endurance.

Belief in one's self.

Behold, my wakizashi is sharp.

But lo, my will is sharper!

My katana is strong.

But my heart, stronger!

Thank you, brother samurai,

for your words of wisdom!

You have inspired me!

I am happy to be of service.

Come, master.

There are many challenges still ahead. Let us go.

Lead on, my fine, faithful servant.

We shall overcome them together.

[action music]

Fate has sent me a message!

A message of inspiration!

My own disillusionment has been the source of my failure.

It is I who must change.

Okino must become a better samurai!

[Okino] As I train my body...

[straining]

I also train my mind.

My will is sharp!

-[grunting] -[clanging]

[Okino] My heart is strong!

My faith is reborn!

For I am Okino.

I am Okino. I--

Good samurai, will you please guide me?

I know I must face the Forest of Discontent,

the Cliffs of Hysteria,

and the Maze of the red dragon.

And I do not think I can survive

without your wise counsel.

Watch out!

[grunting]

[Okino] Up!

Oh, oh!

Follow me!

We are almost there.

You can do it, master.

[grunting]

Behold, the Maze of the red dragon!

You are the first of my Masters to come so far.

We're not stopping here.

Together you and I will reach the first keytana,

-and go on to-- -[squawks]

-[woman screams] -Master!

No!

[Okino] There is no excuse.

My shame is complete.

I disgrace the very title "Samurai."

"Okino" will now become a word people use

to describe how terrible something is.

"How was your day?"

"It was Okino!"

It is time to hang up my sword.

I am unworthy.

I will never guide another Master to their doom.

This I swear on my--

I still don't get how you got that group of nutjobs

to do everything you say.

The League of Jays aren't "nutjobs."

They're fans. And they're awesome.

Just 'cause they're fans

doesn't mean they're not nutjobs.

You're just jealous because--

Can we focus for a second on the reason we're here?

To get one of the three keys

we need to unlock the final arcade cabinet

and get into Unagami's Temple?

Right. What were they called again?

The, the key things?

Keytana.

Oh. Hi.

Who are you?

I am terrible.

I was a guide.

It was my duty to lead adventurers such as yourselves

through this land.

Uh, it's not anymore?

I have failed too many masters.

To my endless shame.

Well, we would be honored to have your help,

humble samurai.

Yeah, because we really have no clue what we're doing.

I mean like none.

Don't worry, buddy, we've lost plenty of fights too.

[Cole] But you can't let it get you down, right?

I'm Lloyd. What's your name?

I...

am Okino.
