I wonder if it really exists...
This 'Akuryo no Kagi'...
More terrifying is if some evil being gets hold of the key...
If so, monsters will be produced without end...
...and this world will soon be overrun by monsters...
I'm sure there's an evil being who's after the key. (Episode 6)
We must find it as soon as possible...
Before it falls into evil hands...
Yoshihiko~ YOSHIHIKO~!!
Oh~, The next word from Hotoke?
'Akuryo no Kagi'!
Found it yet?
Why do you ask? Why are you asking us?
Isn't it your job to tell us?
Hmm....Well...I really... really don't know what to do...
We haven't been able to find the real key...
About that... about that...
I feel so terrible, I'm becoming ill...
I haven't eaten anything other than curry for the past 3 days...
- You've been eating too much curry. - Please tell us already!
- Where we can find the real thing. - Alright.
Um... I think the next one is really very likely.
You've been saying the same thing all this while...
I'm...
...really trying...
...really trying my best...
Why would you say such mean things...
What...? What is this...? Are you crying? Are you?
So loud...
You look a mess!
Such a long cry!
That's enough... such a crybaby...Stop crying!
- Sure got it. - That's quick...
- Your next visit will be... - Oi. What is that? Oi!
- You! Shut it. - What do you have in your hands?
That must be something like a scroll in Hotoke's world...
How long are you going to keep showing off?
Eh? This? It's 2... 2....
What? 3 is coming out? Really? It gets even thinner? Seriously?
Hey wait! Who are you talking to?
- There it is. It's at Isis' castle. - Isis' castle...
It's about to... um...
...have a castle gate built. That's what it says right here...
Says who? Who's information is that?
According to the information downloaded from HotokeTunes...
Eh~...The king of that castle has a suspicious looking key...
Ne~...Is he really a real Hotoke?
Well, any who...Go to Isis' castle!
I'll continue to grow nameko mushrooms with this... (It's an IPad app to grow mushrooms)
Ne~ What's so fun about growing mushrooms...?

"Low Budget Action Adventure Story"
"Yuusha Yoshihiko and Akuryo no Kagi"
Your highness.
There's someone who claims to be Yuusha is here to see you.
What?
Yuusha!?
Interesting.
- Bring him in. - As you wish.
Yuusha yo!
This way please.
OH~!
So you're the Yuusha and companions.
Yes. I'm Yuusha Yoshihiko.
We're on the quest to find the 'Akuryo no Kagi' to seal away monsters.
We would like to have your key which is possibly what we've been searching for.
So you want that key?
So you do have it?
What Perfect timing!
- What do you mean by perfect? - Look!
All these mountains!
I'm going to clear these mountains...
...and build a large city right here!
A Strong country that no one can beat!
To do that, we'll need strong men.
So...
I've decided to have a Budo-kai*. (Martial Arts competition)
- Budo-kai? - I love dancing!
That's BuTO-kai*. (Ball dance party)
It's not that kind of dancing anyway.
The reward for the winner of this competition is...
...this key.
What is that key for?
I'm told this was taken from a monster when a traveler defeated it.
It's possibly a key to the treasure chest at a mountain to the west.
However, this treasure is protected by a fierce monster.
Therefore, it's only given to the strongest man.
So the monster had this key...?
- That's very suspicious... - Yes.
I can definitely feel the evilness emanating from this key....
Yuusha yo!
I want you to enter the competition and win it.
I want to see the strength of Yuusha!
When is this competition taking place?
- Today! - Today?
That's why I said it's perfect timing.
Fine.
I will win this competition.
Excuse me! Let us through.
That's quick! Yoshihiko is already listed.
Eh? No way! Where? Who is the opponent?
Nelson...?
My first opponent is....you?
- Are you... Nelson? - Yes I am.
The way I see it, this will be a quick fight.
You think so?
- The one that's quickly defeated is you. - Don't underestimate me, old man.
I've been practicing Kung Fu at the famous Torin-ji since childhood.
And the strongest one in Torin-ji is...
...me.
- What is Torin-ji? - It's the Kung fu headquarters.
- What the heck? - What? Feeling scared?
- If you want to withdraw, now is the time. - Withdraw you say? I will not!
I'm also an 8th level Judo and a 9th level Karate!
Once I defeated 10 black bears.
- If you want to withdraw, now is the time. - I will not!
If you get too close to me, I'll stink.
Are you okay with that? You'll stink too.
- Withdraw! - NO!
I'll stink with sweat!
- Withdraw. - I'll never withdraw!
If you don't withdraw, then I'll send you Hassaku Orange every month!
WHAT DID YOU SAY!?
I hate peeling that skin... It's troublesome Yoshihiko!
I'll peel it!
For the sake of world peace, I'll peel Hassaku...
You won't withdraw...?
You'll regret your decision.
I think he's weak.
We'll now begin the first match in B block.
All will be fought with bare hands. No weapons allowed.
If you step out of bounds, or lose consciousness...
...or die, you'll be declared defeated.
There's no time limit.
Competitors. Enter!
Good.
Go!
Begin!
Yuusha Yoshihiko!
Sah! Show me your strength!
Hey! Idiot King! Don't be interrupting the fight!
Merebu, Are you sure he's weak?
He'll be fine. He just lost concentration.
Not good. I was too careless...
I'll be ready this time.
Over here.
- He's fast. - Are you sure now, Merebu?
Just now...I couldn't see him...
I can't...He's too fast, I can't see him clearly...
He's too strong. If you don't give up, he'll kill you!
No. If I give up now, we'll never be able to get the key.
We can always get down on our hands and knees and beg the winner.
No. I must obtain it with my own abilities.
Give up, Yoshihiko. He's just too strong.
I will not give up.
I see you're a tough one.
However, this will finish you off!
YOSHIHIKO!
Ow...ouch...ouch...
Huh? What's wrong?
- Come fight me! - Ju..just...wait...
Ouch....Ow...
Hmm? What's the matter? What's wrong?
Don't tell me...
Your PUBIC HAIR got caught in the zipper!?
What...? What are you talking about?
There's No way for me to make that kind of silly mistake!
Here I come!
Ow... ow...ow...
There's no doubt!
His pubic hair is caught in the zipper!
His pubic hair getting caught will be very painful!
- Now's your chance! - Yoshihiko.
He's in pubic hair pain now!
When the pubic hair gets caught, it will be hard to get it out!
While he's trying to get his pubic hair out, attack!
But...I don't feel it's fair to attack in this situation...
- To take advantage now... - Don't be a fool!
Now is not the time to worry about his pubic hair!
After he went to the toilet, he didn't take care of his pubic hair.
- It's his very own fault! - I see...
Personal grooming is also one of the strengths...
Go back to the toilet to fix your pubic hair!
The Winner! Yoshihiko!
He did it!!
Pubic Hair Man Pubic Hair Man
B block second match! Yoshihiko vs Volcano!
I've finally found you!
- Serizawa! - Serizawa? (It's a part Yamada Takayuki played in Crows Zero)
- Who is that? - Don't act like you don't know.
Serizawa.
I've been training to defeat you just to get to the top.
I don't know. I don't know who this Serizawa is.
- I'm Yuusha Yoshihiko. - Don't play dumb.
Any who...
Once I beat you, I'll be the top at Suzuran* (*Name of the school in Crows Zero)
Serizawa...and Suzuran... What are you talking about?
I guess he is mixing up this Serizawa and Yoshihiko...
Well, I heard there are some doppelgangers who looks like you in this world...
But since he insists so much, they must really look alike.
BEGIN!
Dodge it! Yoshihiko!
And also watch out for his head butt!
Ho~...
The one who's called the 'King of beast' just keeps avoiding me?
What are you talking about? The King of beasts is a Lion.
You...
Did you forget your own nickname!?
Dodge it! Yoshihiko!
Good. Just make him run around and wear him out.
STOP!!
Why does he keep looking this way?
Beats me.
Please STOP!
Ah! He's looking. He's looking this way, right?
Why?
Good strategy Yoshihiko.
Wear him out by making him run around.
Good. He's getting tired.
Now's the time to attack.
- Yoshihiko! - Why the penguin...?
Get up Serizawa!
Don't think I'm done yet.
Why is he...looking this way...? Why?
Here...
Go outside...
Not good... It's a bad situation!
Um, We can win! I'm sure of it!
Are you a moron? How can we win in this situation?
- Murasaki, come with me. - What is it now?
Prepare yourself, Serizawa!
You're finished now!
Vol-chan~!
Get your ass over here!
Out of bounds! The Winner, Yoshihiko!
Wait!
Ad...address...
I knew it. He loves girls....
Semi-final!
Yoshihiko vs. Tashisun* (Name of villager in Dragon Quest II)
Oh! It's the semi-finals. How strong is this guy?
Since it's the semi-finals,
It won't be an ordinary fighter.
From here onwards, we won't be able to win by luck alone...
No matter how strong he is, we must win it.
Tashisun! Enter!
- AH~ So scary!
Bring it!
What the....?
What is this?
Maybe...even I can...beat him?
But...wait!
He's made it this far...
He Must have some kind of secret.
You're right.
I must not let my guard down.
BEGIN!
The Secret is...?
Maybe...there's....none...?
What's going on? He's too weak.
Is he really hiding some secret powers?
I'm tired. I need a break.
- He's weak. - Yoshihiko.
For some reason he's a weakling! Just finish him off.
I don't know how you've made it this far but...
I need to save my strength so I'll end this match.
Ah! We'll win this one.
How did he make it this far?
Brother! You can do it!
What the heck!?
Just you wait!
I'll win and feed you all the rice you want!
Where's your parents?
They're dead.
As the eldest, I must take care of my younger siblings.
And so many of them...
This is bad... It's Yoshihiko's achilles heel.
YOSHIHIKO!
Don't forget you're carrying world peace on your back!
You're right! I have a mission!
Brother! You can do it!
Brother Tashisun! You can't lose!
I can't do it!
Sooo....! That's how...
...you made it this far...
Yuusha...
You're too soft...
I can't...
I can't abandon those poor children...
Look! Mom...dad...
Our brother will win again.
That's right. if I lose, those children will have a happy life.
- Brother Tashisun! - - Brother Tansun!
- Brother Harris! - Brother Taru!
- Brother Agis! - Sis!
- Eh? - Yoshihiko!
Did you forget your mission?
Not good. That's how Yoshihiko is.
Yoshihiko!
The parents and siblings, are all FAKE!
- What did you say!? - They don't even have his name right!
Most of all, they don't even look like siblings at all.
I'm sure they're hired!
- Is that true? - You got me.
Out of bounds! The Winner! Yoshihiko!
Good work!
That was scary wasn't it?
Only one more match to go.
- Yosh, I'll go do 100 prayers! - No need.
By the time you finish 20 prayers, the match will be over.
Instead, in this perfect timing...
I've learned the best spell. I'm the best.
The best spell...?
Ah, You've finally learned the restoration spell?
No. This spell will help you win.
Listen well.
If I cast this spell, the person will...
Ready...?
...Scream out the name of his first love!
- Great! - Murasaki!
- You want me to cast on you? - NO! So embarrassing~!
Why not~?! Just this once!
Why don't you cast it on Danjo~...?
For now...
Let's not do that... (He recently divorced)
Why? Did something happened?
- Now's the chance! Murasaki! - Carlos!
- What the...? - YaDa! I'm so embarrassed...
I will quickly name this spell...
...as 'First Love'. That's the name.
- We'll be invincible. - Yes we will.
Once I cast this spell on the opponent...
He'll be so embarrassed, he'll run away.
Then I'll win the contest.
The Final match! Yoshihiko vs. Jackie Pyon!
It's just an old guy.
Yeah, a little flashy old guy.
BEGIN!
Hey! Hurry up and cast 'First Love'!
- 'First Love'! - Sumire-chan!
He really doesn't look embarrassed... at all.
His first love is a faraway memory by now.
What happened?
I didn't see anything...
Young Miss...
Can I touch you?
Nothing there?!
Who...are you?
It's me.
Eh!? By any chance...
THE Famous martial artist...?
Seriously?
Um...Sorry...
- I don't think I know you... - Ehhhh~!?
- Who...? - Ehhhh~!?
You better hurry and get up...
...or you'll lose...
Where am I...?
You're dead.
- I'm dead? - For now.
It seems that you've been sent here by Hotoke.
I must go back or be declared defeated.
It'll be fine!
The time below has been halted for now.
Eh!?
Eh? Eh!?
What's going on?
Areh? The time is frozen for everyone except for us?
How did this happen?
What am I supposed to do?
At your current skill level,
...you can't beat the old man.
Then...how...?
You must increase your strength here before you go back so you won't repeat the same fate.
Are you going to help me? Are you going to make me strong?
Well... that's all up to you.
To become strong, I'll do anything.
Fine, follow me.
Yes.
Let me warn you...
My training is very... SEVERE~!
I'm fully aware of that.
You're good!
It's a big one!
I don't have three but...
I have five!
Skip...
Ski...p!
Page one!
Here comes the noodles~!
It's coming!
I don't see it! I can't see it at all!
You're stronger now!
What did you say?
All I've done here was fooling around!
Then try...
..taking this water bottle away from me.
- You're stronger. - Seriously?
Even that Jackie Pyon...
...took three years to take that water bottle away from me.
- Three years..? - Would you like to try again?
Wait..ow...ow...ow ow ow...
Ow... wait...
- You're the strongest! - Thank you very much!
That water is called 'Power water'...
It'll multiply your power 100 times.
- Try it. - What did you say?
Yeah, yeah yeah...actually this is just plain water...
What powerful water! What's in it?
Ah, No, it's just from the river outside...
I can feel the power!
- I can really feel it! - How is that possible...?
With this I can beat Jackie Pyon!
Ah~ Yes... No problem...
He is really a simpleton fellow....
I'm back 100 times stronger!
Out of bounds! The Winner! Yoshihiko!
What the heck?
Yoshihiko!
While time froze, we moved him over there.
What...?
- How did I get here? - Don't think about it too much.
Things happen in life...
Well done!
Well done! Yuusha Yoshihiko!
It sounded like a critical hit.
That was a strong monster that you don't find often.
Do you think many different monsters will jump out if I open this...?
Um... we'll never know unless we open it.
Right...
What is this...?
Wow...
So there are some people still collecting these...? (Bell mark coupons. Collected at school to exchange for school supplies)
So that dragon was...
...protecting this with his life...
Maybe...if we collect a little more, we can exchange it for 'Akuryo no Kagi'...?
Um... collecting more...um...
...maybe we can get a vaulting horse...
So you were playing with an immortal wizard and then you came back?
That wizard must've had too much time to spare...
Brother...
I've mastered the western sword skill.
I can defeat the monster in one hit.
Un... deux... trois
