I wish I was out there...
He deserves his position as the captain of the kendo team.
Yeah!
I'd almost forgotten, but he's invincible with a sword in his hands, isn't he?
Shinzou's strong!
In this game, your reach gives you a real advantage-biba!
A bamboo sword is longer than your arms-ge!
With a fierce roar, Takemitsu continues his attack!
And he dodges!
He dodges!
Tsubaki continues to dodge!
This is strange...
Why
Why isn't he attacking?
Episode 12: Shooting Gang Star Etc...
Bossun, don't you think Shinzou is moving a little slower?
Well, when the match goes on this long, I suppose he's tiring out.
It couldn't be...
What's wrong?
Won't have at me?
What's wrong?
Perhaps I should ask you that.
It's about time...
The effect should have dissipated.
Shinzou's making a face like an idiot!
Maybe...
The Friske has run out!
Huh? But it was supposed to last 20 minutes.
Perhaps the period of effectiveness was shortened by all the frenetic movement.
That bastard... He's been waiting for this from the start!
Blah...
I am aware that you are able to maintain full concentration for a limited time
due to the psychosomatic effect of a refreshing mint.
I am also aware of the weakening aftereffect.
Rev-rev-rev-rev-rev...
I've been waiting for this time, you fool!
F-Failure...
That's very much like Tsubaki-kun to know so much about the students.
He's playing dirty.
And you should talk, Daisey-chan?
You've already lost, Samurai.
Ouch!
Food coloring
The second blow!
The third!
It's a huge comeback!
Shinzou!
Instantly! This comeback has come like lightning out of the blue!
Tsubaki has taken advantage of Takemitsu's lack of stamina,
and with a single punch combination taken 3 points!
Get it together, Shinzou!
He was planning to run out the clock on the Friske?
That man has impressive information gathering skills.
So, that's what gets your dander up?
Crap, we're screwed!
He's completely out of it!
He's about to fall over!
Switch, out with your Friske!
I'll shoot it into his mouth like the last time!
Unfortunately, I do not have any Friske with me today.
My latest snack of choice is this:
Gumin-gumi!
Note: Gumin = The Ignorant Masses
Or Gumi-gumi for short!
What the...
And the only thing shortened is the "n"!
You people are so useless when it counts!
He'll have to do something using his own power...
Damn it...
Even though he's strong...
He really is strong!
A true samurai is ready for battle at any time, in any place.
Someone like you who relies on some strange psychosomatic effect...
...is weak!
Bogus Samurai
Bogus samurai!
Weak?
I?
Why have I become this weak?
Has nothing really changed since that time?
He's all bent over!
Switch, hand one to me!
I can see it!
Men!
I am ashamed.
It is my ideal to be able to use my full strength from now on without a Friske, however.
Well, just take it one step at a time.
If you need any help, just ask.
Not like we have anything better to do.
I am in your debt!
Next time, try fighting me without a Friske!
W-Well...
Actually, I like how your character stands out more when it's beefed up by the Friske.
My character?
What do you meaneth?
Bossun-dono... Himeko-dono... Switch-dono...
I hath hoped to repay you...
Listen well, Shinzou.
Those who are samurai shall ne'er forget a debt of gratitude.
This is a trial(shiren)...
I must overcome it...
I must repay the debt...
And now, I will hand down this "shiren".
The fastest sword in the Takemitsu School.
This will end it!
Shinzou, when the time comes, those who are samurai...
Shinzou!
...fight with their lives on the line!
Shinzou!
W-With that, Takemitsu has destroyed 1 of the 2 balls he has left himself!
U-Um, do you understand the rules?
G-Good luck...
You bastard... What the hell was that for?
I am a samurai!
I only have one life to risk!
Shinzou... That's scary.
And thanks to that, my eyes art wide open!
He...
Yeah! He's gotten control of himself!
Tsubaki still has 4 balls left!
Takemitsu is at a major disadvantage!
You are an admirable opponent.
I take back what I said before.
Now we fight, samurai!
Have at me!
Takemitsu Ryuu Iai Kenpo
Go!
Go, Shinzou!
Takemitsu Ryuu Iai Kenpo - Shiren Takemitsu School Sword Drawing Technique - Four-fold
Shiren!
The two clash in a blazing attack, and Takemitsu's sword has destroyed all four balls!
Shinzou! I knew you were crazy strong!
The winner of the second stage, Spirit Fighter-biba...
...is Takemitsu Shinzou of the Sket-dan-ge!
Sket Machine #1, you rock!
Oh, you!
Fight me next, 'kay?
Congratulations on graduating from Friske!
Uh... 'Tis thanks to all of you.
Whoops, we overdid it.
'Tis because I wanted to be of help to you, Sket-dan.
'Twas a precious match that allowed me to focus on my weakness!
Looks like you won't be needing Friskes anymore.
Shinzou?
He's passed out while standing up!
It must be since he squeezed out more concentration power than usual.
He hasn't gotten control of squat, has he?
I lost.
My apologies.
Blargh
Food Coloring -> Strict Discipline
There wasn't anything wrong with your way of aiming for his weak point.
But...
It looked to me like that samurai wasn't fighting against you...
He was fighting against himself.
We're still at 1-1.
Leave the rest to us.
Isn't that right, Daisey?
I will handle this.
Next up is a shooting game, Shooting Gang Star-biba!
Will the participating members from each team gather up!
Good luck!
I'll handle this.
Yes! I have faith!
But once before, when we played catch in the back field, he was seriously all over the place.
Flashback
Now that you mention it...
Hey, Switch...
I cannot allow shame to befall our leader who decided the order.
Yeah, but...
I might have no control, but leave it to me!
No control?!
Switch!
No control?
I shoulda beaned ya and went myself!
Beaned ya! Beaned ya! Beeaaan!
Shut up!
Argh, enough already!
Don't say any more!
The two participants have moved to a special stage next to this stadium.
This abandoned building will be the stage for this game.
There are over 100 cameras installed inside the building-biba!
We can watch how the battle goes in real-time on this multi-screen-ge!
This tournament's budget is nuts!
I bet I know...
Yes. The Unyuu Group is sponsoring it.
Sponsored by: The Unyuu Group
Figures.
It looks like both players are ready!
Up for the Student Council team: Asahina Kikuno-biba!
Versus the Sket-dan's Usui Kazuyoshi-ge!
The rules are simple. It's a 1-on-1 survival game.
Each player is equipped with two special infrared revolvers.
There are 6 shots in each revolver-biba.
Also, you can only use the second pistol when the bullets from the first are used up-ge.
For ease of use, these revolvers are equipped to make a...
...noise when they are fired.
When the sensors on your head are hit by the infrared rays...
...your opponent gets a point.
You are free to move anywhere in the building-biba!
You start in the front and rear entrance, and whoever gets 3 points first is the winner-ge!
There are no judges for this match.
Everyone in the stadium will act as witnesses!
Asahina Kikuno.
Second-year, Class G, number 25.
Birthday: Nov. 7th. Blood type: O.
Her hobby is...
...collecting stuffed animals!
(*sound of stifled laughter*)
Her special skill is solving pure-white jigsaw puzzles.
(*sound of more stifled laughter*)
What is that supposed to mean?
You creepy stalker, Usui Creepoyoshi.
If you're misguidedly trying to appeal to me by showing how much you know about me, stop it now.
Her personality is calm and composed.
She abuses her opponents with cruel taunts. Her mouth is her greatest asset.
(In other words she's a total sadist!)
Devoting herself to the activities of the Student Council,
her ideal is to never disobey the orders of her superior.
(Maybe a little bit masochistic?)
Perhaps if your ears are too clogged with wax to hear,
I'll dig them out all the way from right to left!
It's said that her ponytail and glasses are her most charming aspects.
(Oh, yeah?)
Despite her poison tongue, her cool beauty and strict words
gain great support from a certain segment of creepy masochist guys.
(Kreepy)
DOSIM.
Drown in a gutter and die, come back to life, then die again!
Dobu de Oborete Shinde Ikikaete Mata shine!
I think we just saw the first jabs as they exchange a few words to start...
Despite all these witnesses, no one could hear what they were muttering.
Well, all I know is that Switch looked mad.
Now it's time for the gun battle between the two gang members in black, Miss Daisey and Mr. Switch!
Start!
Shiren Four-fold
Himeko's Cooking
Shiren!
I told you to julienne the cabbage!
Note: Julienne is 千切り in Japanese, which literally means "1000 cuts"
Oh, one thousand?
That hurts baaaaad!
Please do your best, Daisey-chan!
Easy does it!
It is not a good plan to run around aimlessly here.
The proper procedure would be to hide yourself and ambush your opponent.
If her opponent thinks she'll take that strategy, Daisey will win.
Calm, and faithful to her orders, plus there's no doubt in her actions.
She's exactly the type you don't want to face in this kind of game.
All right! We struck first!
Don't miss!
To miss at such a range... You have zero marksmanship.
It's a hit!
Miss Daisey gets a point first-ge!
Zero hesitation!
She's scary, man!
She isn't scared of getting shot herself at all!
Is she some robot assassin that came from the future?!
Where are you hiding? Come on out.
Daisey-chan, please do your best!
She would be scary like this...
I feel for you, Mr. Switch.
There you are, sewer rat!
That idiot! He's lost control and is shooting wild!
You can't hit her like that, no way!
He hit her?!
Even a blind chicken finds a kernel of corn now and then, yes?
I'll give you that lucky shot.
Now stop hiding, and face me!
There!
The computer?
Yeah, Switch!
He sampled the sound with his computer!
He used a trap to lure her close!
Admirable!
With that, they are tied at 2 points!
What's the matter, Daisey-chan?
Hurry up and shoot!
No, she can't.
And neither can he.
Out of bullets?
Yeah... Both of them have shot 6 rounds at this point.
To shoot again, they have to pull the gun out with their left hand.
I should thank you.
Your unflinching pursuit made ensnaring you in my trap all the easier, Miss Daisey.
Bluffing is pointless.
I know that gun you hold is empty.
It seems like this will be a battle to see who can draw their second gun the fastest.
No. I still have one shot left.
Don't be a fool.
I won't fall for that bluff.
I counted the gunshots.
And if you were mistaken?
What's that mean?
That repeated firing was a trap.
One of them was actually an audio sample.
There were four gunshots, but I only shot three bullets.
The key point is when switching guns.
Of course, I have no intention of allowing you the chance to draw the gun on your left hip.
The End.
Oh, what an ingenious scheme!
Mr. Switch even laid a trap by misleading the number of shots he fired!
Shatch, you're awesome!
Shatch!
I was thinking "that idiot" just before, but you really are awesome!
Just as I predicted, your careful count of the number of shots
made ensnaring you in my trap all the easier, Miss Baby.
What? Won't you shoot?
Even you with zero aim should be able to hit me.
Hurry up and end it.
Don't get suckered into it!
Get closer, you dunce!
I won't let you live it down if you lose!
He shall be fine!
Get closer!
Switch-dono is more calm than anyone!
Do it, come on!
Daisey-chan, please do your best!
Mimorin, do you understand the situation?
I have one last thing to say.
You're not just creepy, you're also a coward.
Note: KIMOi = Creepy/Digusting. KIMO ga chiisai = lacks guts
D.O.S.
Dull Otaku Stalker.
*anger*
He shot!
Off
He missed!
Don't move.
The tables are turned.
The End.
In the time that Mr. Switch missed, she quickly drew her left gun!
Miss Daisey plotted her course to victory!
Looks like you really are out of bullets this time.
Just as you said, the key point is when switching guns.
And I will not give you an opening to draw your left gun.
It was all too easy making a comeback, Mr. Wild Pitch.
We're screwed.
We're totally screwed.
Switch-dono...
The way he is now...
Could it be!
Why're you makin' that cool face?!
You dolt!
If it comes to this, I shall rather...!
How's you committing harakiri gonna help?
Shut up!
Calm down!
Let's believe in Switch.
He still has a chance to win.
And what are you doin' acting all cool like?
Believing in him created this predicament!
Where the hell is this chance of winning, huh?!
Spit it out!
She hasn't...
Oww!
That pinching seriously hurts!
She still hasn't noticed something!
There's a chance if he uses that.
If... If he can get just a tiny opening...
Enough talking.
Die.
Which is it?
The same time!
They both shot!
It's a tie-biba!
In this case, whoever shot first is the winner-ge!
And I have the timing results right here!
Here they are!
Shooting one-hundredth of a second faster...
Mr. Switch! Usui Kazuyoshi is the winner!
Switch, you're awesome!
How? He didn't switch hands and shot the gun smoothly with his left...
Perhaps you overlooked it because you are used to me using the computer to speak.
But I continued to converse even while holding the gun in my right hand.
That's just you being used to typing with your left...
I'm a switchhander, I can use both my hands.
Ambidextrous = Switchhander
Don't try it if you can't do it!
I lost.
But it was quite entertaining.
I wish I could have tried on the black dress!
It's impressive that you look just the same, even though you lost.
As expected from you, Daisey-chan.
Or so I thought, as she picks up a stuffed animal...
Pet-pet-pet-pet-pet...
It looks like she's in shock...
Next up is the second-to-last game-biba!
The love simulation game, "Tales of Confession"-ge!
Will both teams please send up their participants?
Where's Momoka?
Why isn't she here? Why hasn't she come?
You called her, right?
You see, Momoka couldn't come.
She said she had voice acting work...
Everything's been so crazy, I forgot to tell you before...
Yeah...
What'll we do?!
What'll you do?!
What'll happen?!
Loss by forfeit.
But Bossun, I called a replacement!
Then when is this Sket-dan's ringer showing up?
Guess who?
Ah, you're here! Sket Machine #2!
Uh, who are you?
So sorry I'm latesies!
Rrrrroman!
What the heck?
You called Roman?!
Why Roman?!
Roman, of all people?!
Prince!
I came because I heard you were in trouble!
It had to be that Romantic Bomber of all people...
Will she even put up a fight?
There ain't time to be picky!
The next competition is one of love.
Depending on the rules, there is a chance...
I see! The explosive power of being trapped in her Otome World is quite something...
She just might be able to do it!
Sorry 'bout that, Roman!
Will you do it?
Sure, I will.
So... What is it?
What did you call me here for?
There's no time, so we'll fast-forward through the explanation!
...so you see, we're in some serious competition here!
Understood!
If my friends are in trouble, I will save them!
Up for the Student Council team is Unyuu Mimori-san!
Good luck, Mimorin!
For the Sket-dan team, Yabasawa Moe-san!
That's your cue! Go get 'em, Roman!
I, Roman? No...
I am Yabasawa Moe!
Whatever!
You forgot this.
Ah, I'm finally here!
This is the city of Bristol!
Uh, no!
The final game is about to start!
That's it.
Place your bet, Fujisaki.
If you lose, you'll quit the Sket-dan.
And of course, if I lose...
Hold it, wait a sec...
What's with that?
I have a mean personality.
Next time: Pixy Garden.
Fine, I get it. I'm in!
But don't think I'll do what you expect!
We're...
Sket Dance!
