Real-deal Bibage Battle?
It's a game tournament that this cellphone game company called Bibage
is putting on where anyone can participate.
Cellphone games? Like... those?
Robber Royal
Right.
They use those games as motifs for a real physical competition.
This picture is merely conceptual... probably.
And you want to participate in this tournament?
Right!
But you need 5 people on a team, so I can't do it all by myself...
A game tournament, huh?
I didn't realize you were such an aggressive person, Yabasawa-san.
As you seem to expect, it's not the games I'm interested as much as the grand prize...
The prize?
Look. See my game avatar?
I-It's Yabasawa-san!
It's basically her!
But I can tell there's something fundamentally different!
Where?! What's the difference?!
The mouth, perhaps.
That's it!
That's right. The mouth is wrong.
Honestly speaking, there's a whole 'nother aspect that's crucially different, but...
Well, there's that, yeah.
Anyway... The mouth is wrong.
And the grand prize is a collection of special parts...
3 Mouth
which has this mouth in it!
It's Yabasawa-san's mouth!
3! 3! 3!
Her mouth's a 3!
I was trying to control myself, but I can't any longer!
Oh geez...
You want that 3 mouth, and so you want us to join you in the tournament, yes?
What? For a 3 mouth? A 3 mouth?
3?
D-Don't call it a 3!
But, Yabasawa-san...
You just said 3(san) again!
Next time you say it... Yabas.
Y-Yabas?
You want us to join a tournament just for a mouth for your avatar?
But, now that I know it's there, I can't help but want it!
I can understand how you feel, but...
Bossun, look at this.
Huh? A Real-deal Bibage Battle poster?
There!
The characters from the popular manga "The Student Council!" finally make their debut in Bibage?
Before I came here...
Hey, take this.
Looks like the manga characters are appearing in the cellphone games.
As advertising, the principal asked us to appear in the tournament.
The president of the game company and the principal are friends or something.
Man, what a pain this is gonna be!
Well, right now I can't get motivated for it,
but if somebody like your Sket-dan were to join in, I think it'd be a lot of fun.
Not your problem, though.
Later!
Coincidentally, it seems as though the Student Council will be participating in this tournament.
What say you?!
So, that's the deal.
What'll we do?
I don't mind one bit.
Finally, the time has come for all the ladies of the country to witness my visage...
I, as well!
How much money do you think it will cost to win?
You can't do that, Mimorin!
Don't buy our way to victory!
And you, Daisey?
You don't like this sort of fluffy stuff, right?
I have no need for roundabout words.
Your orders are absolute, President.
Simply tell me to "do it", and it shall be done.
Then
Then, do it.
Understood.
Hold on a second!
I am against this!
We are to work for the betterment of the school, and that is all!
There it is... "Tsubaki's Proclamations".
But everyone is raring to go, right?
I-I'm just...
Well, I figured you'd say something like that, Tsubaki.
Say what?!
Those Student Council bastards are gonna be in the tournament?
They just keep on gettin' more and more full of themselves!
Well then, that's another story!
Let's burst their bubble and bust up their business!
And my grand prize? The 3 mouth?
I'll turn all those losers' mouths to 3s!
I think you've lost sight of the point...
Oh, crap!
3s! 3s!
3s, damn it! 3s!
Fine. I'll go break the bad news to the principal.
I apologize.
It's fine, really.
But in exchange, you will now be known as:
"Get With the Progra-Man!"
Get With the Progra-Man!
Wha...
This is Usui, from the Sket-dan!
Righto, I gots news for you!
My, our Sket-dan is gonna be participating in the Real-deal Bibage Battle!
That house gonna be a-rockin'!
Hey, Get With the Progra-Man.
Y-You mean me?
I got mail from Specs over at the Sket-dan.
Wait, how does he have my mail address?
He says that the Sket-dan is gonna be participating in the tournament.
What say you!?
Well, that's another story, then.
Activities like this are not a problem, occasionally.
Let us join the tournament!
To defeat the... I mean, because our one and only Principal requested it!
What are we to do with him?
The Sket-dan, eh?
They'll make things interesting.
Okay, it's decided!
Got it, everyone?
When we do something, we do it to win!
That's an order from your President!
Right!
And thus, the curtain is raised
on a head to head battle between the Student Council and the Sket-dan!
Hey! Who's that guy just standing here?
Sket Machine #1
And we're short a person!
You have my sword!
And there you have it. Shinzou's in.
Sure, but why'd he accept so quickly?
Do you just have a lot of free time?!
As you can see, I hath totally become hooked on these games,
and I know all manner of strategies!
That's what I figured, so I invited him!
So much for being a samurai...
And now we've gathered all the needed members!
WE WILL WIN!
Yeah...
For the 3 mouth!
Everyone, Yaba-rigato...
Episode 11: Real-deal Bibage Battle!
And so, the day of the tournament.
Well, look at what we have here.
What a coincidence indeed.
You're... Matsuge-kun from the Student Council, was it?
I heard a rumor you'd be coming, Sket-dan.
Could it be you've come to engage us in battle?
Like this has anything to do with you!
It's a request! Yes, a request.
Our goal is to get Yabasawa-san's 3 mouth!
3 mouth?
I have no idea what you're talking about!
I'm saying that we are seriously aiming to take the grand prize!
Better start thinking up excuses for when you lose fair and square!
There will be no need for that!
We have also come here to win!
We won't hold back, so prepare yourself!
And thus, their battle over Yabasawa-san has finally reached its culmination!
Oh, my! Yabas!
Stop adding freaky narration!
And with that, we start the qualifiers for the first ever Real-deal Bibage Battle!
I am plain ol' Nitta, doing the play-by-play.
But since I have so little appeal, we have these mascot girls, or MGs for short.
I'm Biba-chan, Biba!
I'm Ge-chan, Gege!
We'll be helping-bibage!
Whether you're watching online...
Or on the live relay-ge!
Is this sort of appeal going to work?
Thanks for your support!
Oh! The battle is already heating up!
In fact, the battle is so amazing
that even the animators can't draw it, so they bailed out-biba!
A battle so fearsome, there are no words for it in the script-ge!
Perhaps because Kaimei Academy's Sket-dan and Student Council were of the same mind,
both teams were extremely motivated, and made it through the qualifiers!
And then, like an unstoppable force, they rose through the ranks,
and finally the two teams meet in the final round!
Cutting to the chase, aren't we?
It's more convenient this way.
Yeah, but it's all so fast!
Right! It's time for the finals of the Real-deal Bibage Battle!
It's the Student Council Team versus the Sket-dan team-biba!
Which team will be crowned the winner-ge?!
Shut up with the biba-biba and the ge-ge already!
What the hell is with the annoying little characters?
But... I don't mind them.
We'll introduce the competitions for the finals-bibage!
Who from each team will participate in each competition-biba?
Decide on the order-ge!
The battlefield will be...
...this!
The first competition is the cooking action game, Cooking Coliseum!
It'll be a cooking battle-biba!
You're good at cooking, right, Yabasawa-san?
Yeah, pretty much.
Then we're counting on you to handle the first competition!
Yabas! (Leave it to me!)
Yabas!
The second competition is the fighting game, Spirit Fighter!
It's a serious battle where you fight in the flesh-ge!
That's a job for Himeko!
Yeah! Leave it to me!
I got plenty of experience with fightin'!
The third competition is the shooting game, Shooting Gangster!
It's a competition with guns-biba!
My time has come! I'll do it!
Even if my body is pushed beyond its limits...
I'll activate my full-power concentration mode!
Yes! I hath high expectations!
So lame...
The fourth competition is the love simulation game, "Tales of Confession"!
It's a love simulation game that happens in real-life-ge!
That's your cue, Switch!
Love-simulation games? Leave it to me!
And the final competition is...
A secret! Look forward to it-bibage!
I'm counting on you to close it out!
I-I art going last?
Although I don't know what kind of game's gonna be coming...
I'll leave it to you, since you have experience in all kinds of cellphone games!
Yes, but...
Don't worry!
Just get mentally prepared...
Treat it like a kendo match!
Understood!
First Second Third Fourth Fifth
Yabasawa Moe Onizuka Hime Fujisake Yusuke Usui Kazuyoshi Shinzou Takemitsu
Okay! This order will work perfectly!
Perfect.
I can't even consider another formation than this, it's so flawless.
Yeah. It's so perfect, it's scary.
Special Yabas!
I-Is something the matter, Yabasawa-san?
Ultra Yabas!
Just spit it out, 3 mouth!
This is my avatar.
Why is your name Porunga?
Switch is fine! How annoying!
This is my avatar!
Your name ended up "Possun"...
Oni Yabas!
What in the world happened?
Yeti... escaped.
Again!?
So, I have to catch him before bad stuff happens in the neighborhood.
Therefore... bye-bye.
Even though I'm not participating, I'm sure you'll win for me-bas... -bas... -bas...
Wait!
Now we don't have enough members!
And this was all for your 3 mouth in the first place!
Hold it, Yabasawa-san!
What the heck? She went home.
Yabas!
We're in danger now!
What seems to be the matter?
Uh, one of us went home... Yeti, see...
What the hell are you people doing?
My bad!
Well, since you can't participate in the finals like this, I'll accept a member change.
Find yourself a substitute as soon as possible!
W-We owe you a debt!
Call someone!
Momoka will do!
Himeko, phone!
Roger!
Um...
Can we take down the member plaques-biba?
I think it's not a good idea to have Yabasawa-san go first.
Oh, right!
We have to buy time until Momoka shows up!
As late as possible... The fifth round?
No, that's a pretty heavy burden...
Then, the fourth? Um...
Sket-dan team! Hurry up-ge!
Hurry-ge, hurry-ge, hurry-ge!
Did I make it?
At long last, the finals begin!
The first competition, a cooking battle: Cooking Coliseum!
Up first for the Student Council team is Shinba Michiru!
Hi!
Bossun, about Momoka...
Up first for the Sket-dan team, Onizuka Hime!
First
Second
Third
Fourth
Fifth
Is this really going to be okay?
I think you hath shuffled more than necessary.
I was panicking and my head just blanked!
Ah... So he's up against Hime-chan...
It matters not who we face.
Shinba-san should not lose in a cooking battle.
The Student Council once ate Shinba's home cooking during a retreat.
It was even to the taste of the picky Tsubaki.
- From the Student Council Diaries
We don't need that narration!
And how do you know that?
Delicious...
I've got plenty for seconds!
We should be fine leaving it up to him.
Yes, indeed.
Will Himeko-dono be worthy to this challenge?
I dunno, 'cause I never ate anything she cooked...
Let's cheer her on anyway!
Himeko-dono!
But her favorite food is pelocans...
I suspect her sense of taste is totally busted.
Himeko-dono!
The theme is cooking with eggs!
We have prepared fresh eggs, as well as many other ingredients, so please use them freely!
Um, are you listening?
To what?
Um, do your best.
There's a 20-minute time limit-biba!
These five judges will decide whose cooking is more delicious-bibage!
Judges!
Without further ado: Cooking Coliseum Battle Kitchen...
Think Go!
Is that supposed to sound cool?
*Gong*
And the battle begins!
Right, Himeko! Fry 'em!
Just fry 'em!
Mix the eggs like bam! Then fry 'em, bam!
We call it the Great Omelet Operation!
Idiots...
You're underestimating me!
What? She's cutting up ingredients?
It seems like she'th almost actually cooking...
Onizuka is proceeding smoothly with the chopping!
That's it! She's actually cooking!
And she's cooking like a pro!
That kind of activity is not in my Himeko database!
Shut it!
I've never cooked for you before...
...but I like cooking.
Now that I think about it...
She keeps the clubroom really clean.
I'm so used to it I never notice.
She is actually very good at housework!
Then, could it be...
She might do it!
That's the way, Himeko!
Himeko-dono!
Onizuka is off to a good start-biba!
On the other hand, Shinba is-ge?
Hey, Michiru! Concentrate on the match!
You damn narcissist!
Hurry and start cooking, please!
Michi-sama FC Shinba-fans
There's no need to rush.
We're cooking eggs, right?
I'll take it easy a little while longer.
Such confidence-biba!
And while he was doing that...
10 minutes have passed-ge!
Onizuka is continuing to cook, like clockwork!
She looks like a young Japanese inn proprietress preparing her special "I Once Was a Wild Lass" course!
Was that really necessary?!
It looks like she's not bad at all...
Perhaps it's time for me to start.
Shinba was slow to act, but now he's going into action-biba!
I wonder what kind of dish he'll make-ge?
He's frying the egg?
The Great Omelet Operation...
Is this going to work out?
Let us believe in him.
*Gong*
And that's the gong that signals the end of the competition!
There it is-biba!
It's over-ge!
Now, we start by tasting Onizuka's cooking!
Oyako-don!
Oyako-don: Literally "Parent-Child Bowl". A bowl of rice with chicken and egg
A golden brown oyako-don-biba!
It doth look not bad.
Delicious!
R-Really?
It's really that delicious?
The aroma of the steam that was emitted the second I opened the lid
was so splendid, I can't even describe it.
W-What?
The taste of the juice is solid and delicious!
And I can't say anything about the broth!
Are you speaking that way on purpose?
I can't put the tastiness of this chicken into words!!!!
It's awesome, so awesome I can barely stand it!!!!
This kid's so high strung... Is there a point?
And the highlight is the egg... There's nothing more to say.
All you people have said is that you can't say anything!
Just say something concrete!
I'm speechless about the smell of the mitsuba!
Mitsuba: a mint like garnish
Enough already!
Do these people have zero vocabulary to describe taste?
Nope!
That's a high score-ge!
All the judges have heaped praise, one after another-ge! Ge! Ge!
Can you quit with that already?
Why-ge?
Yum! This is seriously good stuff!
Excellent, Himeko-dono!
This is really good!
You go, girl!
Continuing, we now have Shinba's cooking!
T-This is...
An omelet!
My!
The simplest of all egg dishes!
A plain omelet!
T-This is...
And now, the judge's decision!
The score was 5-0.
The winner is...
The Student Council's Shinba Michiru!
Where's the camera?
A plain omelet is one of the very basic dishes any cook learns.
In other words, it is a dish which reflects the skill of the cook more than any other.
Shinba Michiru has the skills of a pro!
No, even among pros he's top class, I feel!
Onizuka's oyako-don was delicious, BUT!!!!
Her opponent was a cut or two above.
I don't have any words!
Yup, that's all they say-biba.
I thought you were screwing with me,
but the reason you waited till the end was to serve the omelets while they were still warm.
Oh, my...
I just didn't want it to use up the time for pictures!
A coincidence, that's all.
I accept my loss.
He did it! It was delicious.
Take this seriously, playboy.
Personally, I preferred Hime-chan's oyako-don.
Hey... You can compliment me once in a while, you know?
Shinba-san, I believed in you.
Sorry. I lost.
Now, now... No need for that.
'Twas a fierce battle!
Yeah! It was crazy delicious!
It's true that their omelet was delicious too, but honestly, I couldn't tell which was better.
I had no idea you could cook!
Well, after all...
If someone eats it and says "gross", I'll be really hurt!
And it hurts me to know that I knew so little about someone so near.
Next time, cook something for us to eat!
Sure.
What would you like?
Hamburger steak... or fried chicken?
W-Why are you crying?
I don't know!
My feelings are all in a jumble!
Now, let's start the second competition!
Up second for the Student Council, Tsubaki Sasuke!
For the Sket-dan, Takemitsu Shinzou!
Himeko-dono, wait there a moment.
I shall go get a little revenge.
Samurai
The second competition is the one and only physical competition in the tournament!
Spirit Fighter-ge!
Tsubaki is dan-ranked at both karate and judo-biba!
And Takemitsu is the captain of the kendo team-ge!
This is gonna be a good match-bibage!
Each of the participants have 5 special colored balls on their body!
The first one to destroy all the balls on their opponent is the winner!
You can choose any weapons you want-biba!
They're all safe to use.
I choose this!
Sword
Takemitsu chooses a sword, as we'd expect-ge!
I choose these!
Glove
Tsubaki chooses gloves-biba!
He's not using a weapon against a sword?
That's one crazy strategy, Tsubaki!
Hey, is it okay for him to eat that?
The effect of the Friske lasts for 20 minutes.
As long as he eats it right beforehand, it shouldn't be a problem.
Both contestants, forward!
Now!
Yeah! Go get 'em, Shinzou!
I go.
Good luck, Tsubaki-kun!
Begin!
This is a one-game match with no time limit-biba!
Please watch me, Himeko-dono!
And the instant the match begins, we see the flash of Takemitsu's sword as he swings sharply!
Tsubaki narrowly dodges it!
And he goes again! A furious assault!
He's fast-ge!
But Tsubaki continues to evade him-ge!
Tsubaki-kun sure is something, isn't he?
But his opponent isn't exactly chopped liver either!
I shall avenge Himeko-dono!
Food Coloring
Takemitsu's sword drew "first blood"!
The Student Council Room
Our guest today is Kuramoto Ayumi-san.
I'm worried again because Yagi-chan still seems depressed.
Well, we'll have to do something about that, won't we?
Next Time Episode 12: Shooting Gangster Etc...
KNY. Kusare (Rotten) Nanpa (Flirtatious) Yarou (Bastard).
If you like, I can prepare a truck full of snacks...
That idea is rejected, Mimorin.
I've got it. Leave it to me.

We're the Student Council!
