01x05 - Common Sensei

[bunniefuu]

[traditional music playing]

Whoa! [grunts]

[groans]

Man, this was my good face.

-Hyah!
-[thud]

How did you find me?

You're a nature Yokai.
This is the most naturey place in Neo Edo.

What do you want?

I want to be the greatest samurai alive.

Karasu-Tengu, I need you to be my sensei.

Anyone I train would develop
supernatural fighting abilities.

It would be dangerous
to teach these to one such as you!

[Karasu-Tengu] Hyah!

[both grunting]

[Karasu-Tengu] You are too impulsive!

You act without considering
the consequences.

How can I trust you?

Wait, wait, what did you say?
I can't fight and listen at the same time!

-[both grunting]
-[weapon whooshing]

[grunting]

-[whooshing]
-[slashing]

-[whooshing]
-[Karasu-Tengu gasps]

Hmm.

I'm already pretty good. You wouldn't
even have to train me that much!

[traditional music continues]

-[yelling]
-Hyah!

[grunting]

[whooshing]

Whoa!

[grunts]

Do you have any final words?

Three.

Sic her, Spot!

[growls]

[whooshing]

[Spot chomps]

-Oh, Spot. I am very disappointed in you.
-[Spot] Mm. Mm.

[theme music playing]

[solemn music playing]

[Lady Fuwa] Well?

[ominous music playing]

I've brought the scroll, as you commanded.

And gum?

Uh, what?

Didn't I command you to bring gum?

Who did I command to bring gum?

[humorous music playing]

Hmm. Excellent.

We will not let the sudden appearance
of Yokai in the city

interfere with our plans.

With this information,
we are ready to attack the temple

and seize the Ki-Stone.

Hmm. [smacks gum]

Neo Edo will be mine!

[sinister chuckle]

[smacks gum]

Hmm.

Does the gum undercut my whole… image?

You can be honest.

Um… uh… a little.

Ugh. I knew it. [spits]

[ominous music sting]

Thank you, Chizu.

You have always been my favorite.

We attack at midnight!

Chizu, you must make sure
no one is in the temple at that time.

If anyone remains… [chuckles]

…eliminate them.

Eliminate them?

Of course.

No one must stand in our way.

Not even your new friends.

They tell me you have been spending
a lot of time with Usagi, Kitsune and Gen.

You must distance yourself.

Feel nothing for them.

The Ninja Crew is your only family.

To put anyone before us
would be dishonorable.

Understood.

Tonight, precisely at midnight,

Neo Edo is ours!

[evil music rises and fades]

[intriguing music playing]

[gasps]

[low growling]

[tense music playing]

Hmm?

[Usagi grunts]

[panting]

Hyah!

[intense music playing]

[Usagi] Hyah!

[clang]

Hyah!

[grunting]

Hmm.

I missed on purpose.

Ha!

Whoa!

[grunts]

Ah!

I missed on purpose too.

[traditional music playing]

Interesting.

Usually when someone picks
a Kaikishi weapon, it's a sword.

Or some other flashy, dramatic weapon,

and yet you chose this simple yo-yo.

It was an accident.

There are no accidents.

One time, I got a grape
stuck in my nose for a whole year.

There are some accidents.

[gasps] Whoa!

[grunts]

This yo-yo is the one thing about you
that impresses me.

I may, possibly,

consider becoming your sensei.

If you can prove yourself.

I'll do anything!

Almost anything.

Uh, okay, I just thought
of six things I won't do.

Uh, eight. Uh, no-no-no, 11.

You must defeat three urban Yokai
who are the enemies of nature.

Some call them
The Three Enemies of Nature!

Descriptive.

Long ago, before all Yokai
were imprisoned in the Ki-Stone,

these three were feared across the land.

Sakuran, Hakai, and Giman,

also known as Distraction,
Destruction, and Deception.

All three despise nature.

They prefer cold,
lifeless stone buildings.

[child laughter echoing]

[Karasu-Tengu]
Sakuran and Hakai are powerful Yokai.

They can possess any object
and create mayhem.

[thunderclap]

[slashing]

[Karasu-Tengu] Giman is a shape-shifter.
It deceives the unwary.

[Usagi] That doesn't sound so bad.

-[Karasu-Tengu] It then eats them!
-[growling]

Ah!

You must defeat these three Yokai
and return them to the Ki-Stone.

Done.

Wait. How do I do that?

Some Kaikishi weapons
can transfer the spirit energy of Yokai

into the Ki-Stone.

Yours is one of them.

Did you not know that?

Hmm, this thing
didn't come with instructions.

[sighs] It can also help you find Yokai.

It is sensitive to our presence.

[Yo-yo hums]

Whoa.

I can feel it!

It will lead you to the Yokai you seek.

But you must treat it with respect.

Of course, I-I'm, like, super respectful.

Everyone knows.

I will prove myself to you.

[sniffing] Yeep?

[whooshing]

This I swear!

Yeep-yeep! Yeep.

[adventurous music playing]

[engine revving]

[sighs]

You may be tough, but I'm tougher.

And there's no way
I'm gonna let you beat me!

[roars]

Ha!

There we go.

Hi, girlfriend!

I think the term you're looking for
is "work acquaintance."

I said I would help with this,
so I am helping.

[Kasa-Obake growling]

Thanks, Kasa-Obake.

[squishy taps]

[rattles]

[lock clicks]

[whirs]

[dings]

[refrigerator] Hello.

I am pleased to be your new
Takahashi Freezematic Encoldinator.

Please select a nickname for me.

Ugh!

Noted.

You may now call me:
[in Chizu's voice] "Ugh!"

Chizu! I can't reset that.

-[Spot yeeps excitedly]
-Guys, guys!

Karasu-Tengu kicked my butt
and then agreed to be my sensei!

-How awesome is that?
-Really?

Yes!

Well, no.

W-w-well, maybe.
I just have to defeat three Yokai.

[scoffs] You don't have
to fight monsters to get trained.

Just go see my guy, Bargain Bunji.

Well-- Who? No!

Karasu-Tengu will turn me
into the ultimate samurai!

[mockingly] Yeah, if you survive.

But Bargain Bunji
gives you a cookie after every session.

His mind's made up, Gen.

Come on, let's do this thing.

-Hyah!
-[Spot] Yeep.

I'll do it alone.
A true samurai needs no one.

Uh-uh. No way are you going
after these Yokai without us.

-We're all coming with you.
-Yeep.

Yeah, we're a team.

We're friends!

We're not friends.

We're barely a team.

I want no part of this.

Okay, then you can stay here and clean up.

Make sure you get under the refrigerator.

[refrigerator] I am your new best friend:

[in Chizu's voice] "Ugh!"

Fine. I'll go.

All right, you guys can come
and watch me fight Yokai.

[Usagi] But do not get in my way!

[refrigerator, in Chizu's voice] "Ugh!"

Worst nickname ever, guys.

[stove] That's nothing.

My nickname is, "Nickname."

[traditional music playing]

Huh? Whoa!

-Ha-ha.
-[trolley bell dings]

-Usagi!
-Whoa!

This is why you need us!

You don't have city reflexes.

You keep stopping and looking at things.

[sarcastic] Yeah, what a weird thing to do
when I'm looking for something.

-[yo-yo humming]
-[Spot] Huh?

-[machinery whirring]
-Huh?

[loud clanking and whirring]

[Usagi] Whoa.

That is amazing.

[whirring]

[loud clang]

I've never seen
constructionbottos in action.

[Gen] Huh. Those bottos
are actually really cool.

I never stop to look at this stuff.

[excitedly]
Look at the crane with the magnet.

It's huge!

It's just a construction site.

How about we hit the arcade?

No, I need to find these Yokai!

Destruction, distraction, deception.
Destruction, distraction, deception.

[Spot] Hmm?

Hey, if you're looking
for a distraction Yokai,

you gotta check out the arcade!

It's the most distracting place
in the whole world.

I'm distracted just being near it!

Um… What's an arcade?

You've never been in an arcade?

You have to check it out, country boy!

Chizu, let's have a little fun.

I agreed to fight Yokai with you.

That's all.

Come on. I'll buy you some yakitori.

-I don't like the way you said "buy."
-Okay, I'll go.

I'm starving.

Usagi? We doing this?

All right.

But only because we might find a Yokai.

A-and just for five minutes.

[insanely upbeat arcade music playing]

[Kitsune laughing]

[Usagi] Whoa!

[dings]

[mimicking engine sounds]

[chuckles]

[laughing]

[Usagi] Whoa. Whoa!

[both laughing]

[Gen grunting]

[laughing]

Ah! Oof!

[Chizu chuckles softly]

[upbeat arcade music continues]

-[Usagi] Hyah!
-[laughing]

Get 'em! Everybody hates Ninja!

Hmm?

[upbeat music continues]

-[laughing]
-[Usagi] Huh?

[chuckling]

[grunts] Hyah!

[chuckles, grunts]

[screams, whimpers]

[shrieking]

[Gen crying]

[dings]

[Usagi laughing] Ow.

[chuckles]

How did it get so dark in five minutes?

We were in there for seven hours, guy.

I told you it was distracting.

You guys made me waste the whole day!

Nobody made you do anything.

I practically had to drag you away
from that Ki-Cycle game.

Well, y-yeah, but I…

Yeah, that was pretty awesome actually.

[yo-yo humming]

[Spot] Huh?

I'm getting something!

There's a Yokai nearby!

[Spot] Yeep-yeep!

[frantic music plays]

Whoa.

I think…

-[Chizu panting]
-…it's right…

[panting]

-…here?
-Huh?

[yo-yo stops humming]

[Usagi] Hmm.

[laughing]

Don't hurt me!

Okay, are you a Yokai?

Or are you like that talking refrigerator?

I could be both!

And you're that rabbit
who attacks Yokai for no reason!

[cans whooshing]

You're giving me a reason right now.
Stop it.

Check it out! Free yogurt.

This is a good day.

Are you Sakuran, or Hakai, or Giman?

My name is Jihanki.

[panting] Stay away! Don't hurt me!

I don't want to hurt you!

Would you stop throwing yogurt cups at me?

[sighs relieved, chuckles]

Okay. Ha. Sorry I jumped to conclusions.

There's a lot of
anti-Yokai sentiment around.

I'm only here because my stupid yo-yo
led me to the wrong Yokai.

Ah!

Well, with a Kaikishi weapon,

you need to concentrate
on the exact Yokai you're looking for.

Oh.

-Um… thank you.
-[Spot] Yeep.

You're welcome.

Enjoy your ill-gotten yogurt!

-That was awesome.
-[slurping]

Would you fight an iced-tea
vending machine next?

I'm thirsty.

Come on.

I have to focus
on the Yokai I'm looking for.

Distraction, destruction, deception.

Distraction, destruction…

We're gonna follow him, right?

Let him deal with this himself.

[Gen] We're going.

[thundering music playing]

[all screaming in panic]

[whirring]

[Usagi] That constructionbotto!

It's possessed by a Yokai!

Okay, obviously, you're not going to try
to fight this thing by yourself, so I--

Ikuzo!

I admire his ambition,

but I'm concerned
about his decision-making.

[tense music plays]

-Hyah!
-[clang]

[whirring]

Are you one of the Three Urban Yokai?

[Hakai] Hakai!

-Hyah!
-[thuds]

Hey, I think this might be Hakai!

Is he… happy about this?

Karasu-Tengu…

has sent me…

[grunts]

…to defeat you!

Hakai!

Hakai, I challenge you--

Ah!

[grunts]

[intense music playing]

[groans]

-[gasping]
-[Spot] Yeep-yeep!

[straining] Don't help me!

Let me fight this thing on my own.

-Surrender… and you won't get hurt.
-Hakai!

[heroic music playing]

[grunting]

[whirring]

[grunting]

Hyah!

[whirring]

[Usagi grunting]

Whoa!

[grunts]

[gasps]

[whirring]

[Hakai] Hakai!

[torch blowing]

[grunts]

Okay. Maybe I need a little help.

Finally!

[heroic music playing]

[grunting]

[tense music]

[grunting]

[steam blowing]

Whoa!

[grunts]

[clangs]

Hyah!

[gasps]

[tense music continues]

[whirring]

[straining]

[clangs]

-[chittering]
-Fine.

Yeep-yeep!

[Gen grunting]

-[grunts]
-[electricity crackling]

[gasps]

-[thud]
-Oof!

[grunts, gasps]

[rattling]

-[heroic music]
-[rattling stops]

[straining]

[Usagi grunting]

[Spot straining]

Okay, how strong… is this… chain?

[clangs]

-[gasps]
-[Gen grunts]

[grunting]

[thuds]

-[music fades]
-[gasps]

[sudden music sting]

Gen, you guys lead it that way.

[whistling]

[clangs]

[Gen] Hey, Sprocket Brain, chase me!

Hakai!

[suspenseful music playing]

[heroic music playing]

[scraping]

[grunts]

-[clangs]
-[grunts]

-Heads up!
-[scraping]

[grunt]

[loud crash]

[sighs] Seriously,
that yo-yo is, like, indestructible.

I know, right?

-[clangs]
-[all] Huh?

[menacing music playing]

Hakai!

Hey, I really thought
that would take care of it.

[whirring]

[thuds]

[victorious music plays]

It's stuck! It can't get away!

[whirring]

[explodes]

Oh, unless it does that.

Hakai! [groans]

You are an angry little
disembodied Yokai, aren't you?

Hakai! [grunts]

I gotta trap this in the Ki-Stone
before it gets free.

Let's go!

[Hakai] Hakai! Hakai!

We attack at midnight!

What? It's almost midnight!

[panting]

Guys, wait!

Hakai! Hakai!

[Hakai grunting] Hakai!

Hakai!

Hakai!

I'm sorry I didn't let you guys
help me when I needed it.

It's okay. I had fun.

Yeah, I feel like we really bonded today.

Guys, wait!

Uh, let's go to Gen's house first.

Or, uh, sushi!

Who wants sushi? [chuckles nervously]

[Hakai] Hakai, Hakai, Hakai.

Hakai, Hakai, uh… Hakai!

Hakai-Hakai!

Hakai. Hakai-Hakai!

Hakai…

That's the angriest balloon
I've ever seen.

[door creaks]

[Hakai] Hakai! Hakai, Hakai!

Hakai, Hakai, Hakai! Hakai.

Hey, uh, we should go back to the arcade.

Uh, to… celebrate. [chuckles]

Right now!

Hakai, Hakai, Hakai!

Tetsujin, any idea how I can
get this Yokai back in the Ki-Stone?

Would it help if it was slippery?

I have some machine oil
around here somewhere.

Who wants to go for fruit cups?
Huh? I-I-I have a coupon.

[chuckling nervously]
We should leave. Now!

No, I have to trap Hakai,
but I don't know how.

Hakai, Hakai, Hakai!

[grunts]

-Hakai!
-Super Yokai trapping powers… activate!

Hakai, Hakai…!

Really? That's your best guess
at how this works?

Kinda desperate, Usagi.

Hakai!

Maybe there's a magic word,
like… presto! Or… kotodama!

Maybe we should go to the library
and look it up. Right away!

You could try asking respectfully.

It's worth a shot.

-[Hakai] Hakai, Hakai!
-Um…

Yo-yo, today I learned
how much I need my friends.

Now I need you too.

I ask, with the deepest respect, help me.

[fading] Hakai, Hakai, Hakai…

[gasps]

[dramatic music playing]

[electricity crackling]

[grunts]

[traditional music playing]

-[whooshing]
-[Miyamoto Usagi] Do you have it?

Death to the Shogun.

He cannot be allowed to live.

[screams]

[all gasping]

-[sighs]
-Meep!

-Meep?
-It worked.

But… I had a vision.

My ancestor was meeting with a Ninja.

Surely he wouldn't work
with the Ninja Crew. And he said--

Usagi, we have bigger problems right now.

[suspenseful music playing]

Whoa. Those are real Ninja!

You should have left when I told you to.

No!

[suspenseful music cl*max]

[closing theme music playing]
