RAMEN FIGHTER MIKI
You may stammer when you speak, but deep in your heart...
You've got instincts that burn in a blaze of glory.
I know it's in you.
In love and at play somehow you have a reserved kind of common sense.
I'm sure that at this rate... ...it'll just be an everyday prototype of life.
Boys and girls, round and round Dance a radical dance
It's a delusion that you want to dance it, so shout, Live de Dive, Wild Spice
If you can just fly for a second...
You want to lay claim to your dreams.
Go forth into the invincible present! Get up and go!
I've been doing the same thing over and over again.
Onimaru Miki!
I'm challenging you to a fight, Nya!
I'm going out for delivery!
I'm challenging you...
I'm busy!
I don't know why, but I don't remember anything after that.
That's it!
I open the right side door, so I bump...
...into Miki Onimaru and receive a surprise attack!
I'll just enter by opening the other door today, Nya!
Miki Onimaru! I'm challenging you to a fight!
I'm going out for delivery!
Nya, nya, nya...
Wait...
I forgot the container!
What are you doing here? You're in the way!
I'm challenging you...
I'll fight you when I'm done with my delivery!
I'll fight you after I'm done with my delivery!
You better, Nya!
Don't make a detour, Nya!
Okay! I'll just eat until Onimaru Miki comes back, Nya!
Missus, I would like one fried rice, Nya!
Okay!
WIN BY WORKING
So slow!
When is she coming back, Nya?
You don't have to keep eating like that.
I'm home!
Sorry I'm late. I made the delivery but also helped them make renovations.
Late...
You're late!
How long does it take to make a delivery, Nya!
I don't need to be preached at by you!
Anyway, just go make another delivery.
It's for Someya-san on 3rd street.
Okay!
Aren't you gonna fight me?
After I finish my delivery!
Yes, this is Onimaru restaurant.
Ah, Endo-san. Two orders of ramen?
Thank you very much.
Did you just take another order?
Of course. This is what we do.
After that, she'll clean the front of the store, then fix the tables...
Looks like she won't have time to fight you today.
Endo-san's place, Nya?
That's right.
Hello! This is Onimaru restaurant, Nya!
Oh my, that was quick.
I was going to clean and do some laundry, but...
Mother! This ramen is still hot!
Like the one we eat at the restaurant.
I wonder what kind of detours Onimaru Miki usually makes, Nya.
Nishiyama-san, are you working at the Onimaru restaurant?
I'm trying to reduce Onimaru Miki's workload, Nya.
I see. Good luck!
Okay!
I'm back, Nya!
That was quick!
Onimaru Miki is just too slow, Nya!
You're right.
What else do you want me to do, Nya?
I can finally get some lunch.
Hello.
Welcome, Nya!
What?
Here's your ramen.
Thank you. I'll help myself.
Kankuro, since when did you start working for the Onimaru restaurant?
I have to reduce Onimaru Miki's workload, Nya!
I want to fight her!
Can I get some fried rice?
Okay! Fried rice, right?
Here! Your fried rice, Nya!
Wow, that was fast!
Is it just me? I feel like Onimaru restaurant is doing very well.
I mean, they do well all the time.
But today is somewhat different.
Can I get some dumplings?
Nya!
Okay! Your dumplings!
Every order comes out real fast today!
Plus it tastes much better and makes me want to eat another bowl!
Could it be that people are...
...coming here not to watch the violence and fights...
...but are coming to actually eat ramen?
That was uncalled for!
I guess Onimaru restaurant operates normally now.
Yes, thank you for ordering from us everytime.
Tsuji-san's place on 4th street wants two orders of ramen...
Fine!
I'm heading out, Nya!
I'm back, Nya!
So fast...
Thank you.
That young man sure works hard.
What?
Yes, he sure does.
I'm glad you got yourself a good worker. I'm coming back again.
Thank you very much!
He works hard and leaves a good impression with the customers.
Yeah.
I wish he were my son.
I'm sure if he works hard, he'll be a good working member of society.
I wonder what screwed up this young man's life...
Your daughter...
Thank you very much!
Can you take down the store curtain?
Sure thing, Nya!
Today was really busy so you must be tired.
But it feels good to work hard and sweat, Nya!
Here you go.
What's this?
Your pay for working today.
But...
It's okay.
You worked really hard for us today.
Thank you, Nya!
Now I can pay for the pension, Nya!
No!
I don't want this, Nya!
I wasn't working for money, Nya.
You...
I was working so I can fight with Onimaru Miki!
Yeah, you're right.
But Kankuro, Miki didn't come back from her delivery yet.
What?
She was supposed to go to Someya-san's place...
I wonder where she went for a detour...
She's making way too many detours, Nya!
I'm back!
I was over at Someya-san's place helping them get rid of termites.
Late...
You're late!
Stop screwing around! This is a food service, Nya!
What?
I don't need you to tell me how to do my job...
He should.
What?
When you were making detours, he was working real hard for us.
What do you mean?
I'll explain it for you.
Megumi?
Onimaru restaurant did very wellntoday because of his hard work.
As a result, my store didn't do so well.
What? You're kidding!
It's true!
You're no longer needed!
I want you to work hard as our main worker starting today!
You can count on me!
No...
Welcome! Welcome!
Damn.
There you are, Onimaru-san! You look wretched.
We don't need useless people like you in this competitive society!
All right then!
I'll fight you! As a poster girl of this store!
As you wish, Nya!
I've been waiting for this all day long, Nya!
I'll gladly accept this challenge Nya!
I'll watch to see who wins the fight!
Listen up!
First one to deliver the ramen to Gondo's place wins.
Got it, Nya.
This should be exciting to watch!
You're right, but...
Why do you have to wear that?
What are you talking about?
This is to determine who's the best poster girl, Nya.
We have to fight under the same conditions.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered fair, Nya!
I really respect you when you say things like that...
On your mark!
Get set!
Start!
I won't lose to him when it comes to running...
What?
Why?
Amazing!
I don't know why, but my body feels very light today, Nya!
Mutekan News
Did you figure it out, folks?
Why is he faster than Miki-chan today?
Why is he faster than Miki today?
It's because he's wearing a skirt today!
There's very little air resistance to his lower body, so he can run faster than usual!
Yes, I'll be right there!
Thank you for waiting! I'm from Onimaru restaurant!
Wait a minute, why are you closing the door, Nya?
Please let go! I'll call the cops!
What are you saying?
Anyway, just take the ramen, Nya!
I won, I won!
This is what a real poster girlnis capable of!
I lost...
I guess I lacked experience as a poster girl...
I don't think that's the reason.
If I don't make any detours, then I can deliver them just like that!
Then you should always do that!
I'll try...
In a way, this fight doesn't count.
Anyway, you should accept his challenge, Miki!
What? Why?
Missus!
We don't have any deliveries and he did all the chores yesterday, so...
...we pretty much have nothing to do.
You can go ahead and fight.
Great.
All right, Nya!
Fight!
You know what?
Maybe you should just work.
Nya.
Usually I enter from the right, but I entered from the left last time, and...
Onimaru Miki! I'm challenging you to a fight!
I'm going out for delivery!
But it backfired.
Now, how should I do this today?
I got it!
What was I thinking? I forgot the most important thing!
Which door do I open to win?
I can't approach this with that kind of negative attitude, Nya!
I should go in fair and square from the right!
Onimaru Miki! I'm challenging you to a fight!
Smells good!
It's the start of another beautiful day!
CLASH! NISHIYAMA KANKURO VS. KANNAZUKI MEGUMI
Onimaru Miki! I'm challenging you to a fight!
Huh? Where am I?
You finally woke up.
What happened...
Oh, you don't remember?
Onimaru-san beat you...
I see!
I was supposed to go fight Onimaru Miki today!
Did I win? Or did I lose?
You probably lost.
Again?
Nishiyama-san, you really want to beat her that bad?
Of course!
I live to beat Onimaru Miki, Nya!
I can't waste time like this! I have to go challenge her again!
You never learn, do you?
You don't even stand a chance against her.
Can't you realize that?
That's not true, Nya!
We always fight pretty well!
Accept the fact that you're weak already!
Anyway, you may have realized that she's also my enemy.
I know that! But you're no match for her, Nya!
Look who's talking...
And I'm going to make a proposal.
How would you like to work with me to defeat her?
No thanks!
My body just can't take you and your dirty tactics.
Your body?
I'll get upset and stay in bed for about a month. I'm very delicate, Nya.
He's small-minded...
And if I'm fighting Onimaru Miki, then I can't let others intervene, Nya!
He's such a stubborn guy.
Since I'm at a disadvantage when it comes to one-on-one combat...
I thought I could use him as my pawn.
But...
If you want me to help you get revenge, then I'm all for it.
Huh? I don't get it.
It's an act of kindness! When people need help...
...then I just have to help them, Nya!
Huh?
I owe you one for treating my wounds today.
I'm going to help you get your revenge, Nya!
I don't really understand what he's talking about...
...but I think it's best if I take this offer.
I understand.
You can help me out then!
Then we have a deal, Nya.
I now have a useful pawn that I can use for my own!
Prepare yourself, Onimaru-san! Now I can deal a crushing blow to you!
Now that we've decided... let's train!
Train?
We'll be arriving in front of Hanamimachi park.
Please let the passengers out first and enter the train without...
...pushing other passengers.
For the municipal bus, please use the staircase at the center of the platform.
Thank you for riding! This is the last stop in front of Hanamimachi park.
What exactly are we doing?
We're training of course, Nya.
How can you call this training?
You just don't get it.
This is called the train fist and unicycle fist!
Train fist and unicycle fist?
That's right! I came up with these fighting techniques...
...to help me beat Onimaru Miki, Nya!
It looks kind of stupid, but...
...we can beat Onimaru-san with these, can't we?
No, I used them, but she beat me anyway.
Then it's useless!
But if we use them simultaneously, we might be able to beat her, Nya!
Using one of them might not be effective, but if we use both...
...it'd be twice as effective!
If we use twice the power, then we can beat Onimaru Miki, Nya!
What's wrong with him?
What he's saying doesn't make sense, but his words are...
...powerful and very persuasive.
After all, I was right about him. I can beat Onimaru-san with his help!
I understand, Mr. Nishiyama!
So you understand now.
Let's do our best to beat Onimaru-san!
Okay! Let's go with the plan, Nya!
I'm serious!
Listen up, Kannazuki Megumi!
Unlike a shrimp, humans are much slower moving back than moving forward.
When you move backwards in fear, you'll always get stuck.
If you must strike, then go for a counter, but watch out for the faint!
Umm...
Nya!
What the heck?
Why do I have to fight with that monster alone?
Why are you so mad, Nya?
I got your letter of challenge.
Yes?
I was surprised to see that you want to face me one-on-one.
What?
Letter of challenge?
I gave it to her. You don't have to thank me, Nya.
How could you do this to me?
You accept the fact that you're both enemies and your mind can be ready.
No one can interfere as well!
This is what you wanted, right?
No way!
I'll pierce you with my skewers!
I can't use them with these on!
If that's the case, I'll have to fight!
Go, Kannazuki Megumi!
Show her what you've learned!
The train will be arriving soon...
...for Hanamimachi on track number two...
She wasn't able to use her footwork very well.
Maybe it wasn't a good thing to combine the two techniques in one.
Maybe it wasn't a good thing?
Don't worry. Just give everything you got, Nya!
I can do no such a thing!
Besides, fighting her face-to-face isn't my kind of style!
I like sending threatening letters anonymously...
...leaving an Onimaru card at the scene of a crime...
...to drive her existence out of this society.
I just can't fight fair and square!
This is how I fight!
Isn't this ridiculous? I don't know what to do.
That's just not right, Nya!
Even if you succeed in getting your revenge, will you really be satisfied?
Of course I will!
Unlike you, I'm pitiful! Helpless people have their own way of doing things!
I'm tired of doing things in an orderly way!
That's it!
I have a visceral dislike for you, Nya!
Is that right? You may be big, but you have no brain!
If you two hate each other that much, why don't you...
...settle this right here?
She just wants to see us...
...beat each other up.
Okay, I'll give you a reward!
If you can beat Megumi, then I will face your challenge anytime!
Really, Nya?
And Megumi, if you beat him, then I will...
...shave my head and apologize for everything I did to you.
In front of my mother!
I'm sorry!
You promise? You better keep your promise!
Amazing...
I'll do anything to see Onimaru-san kneel before me!
This girl...
I can feel it!
She smells just like her, Nya!
Against Kannazuki Megumi, my body is defenseless and senses danger!
I'll fight her with full force!
I'm not going to stop!
I'll be victorious and embarrass Onimaru-san!
Onimaru-san kneeling, kneeling, kneeling! Bald, bald, bald!
Her eyes...
...show that she tries to live even though she's in a dangerous position...
...with Onimaru Miki everyday.
I like eyes like that...
If we met in a different way, then maybe we could've been friends, Nya.
I was thinking this would be fun, but no matter...
...who wins this fight, it won't be fun for me.
I don't want to fight him everytime.
I definitely don't want to kneel before Megumi with my head shaved.
And so...
There's only one answer!
I'll just take you both down!
What are you doing?
We will have to fight her together!
No, I refused to work with you, Nya!
You told me once...
Using one of them might not be effective, but if we use both...
It'd be twice as effective!
What?
Unbelievable! Making detours again!
So this fight...
What was the point of fighting?
You don't fight fair and square and I hate that, Nya!
Don't make me repeat myself!
I like to fight dirty! That's the way I like it!
I'm never going to work with you again, Nya!
I don't want to work with you either!
Nya, nya!
As you go running into the sunset, you can only see what's in front of you.
And you go past me like the wind. So l can't take my eyes off you.
Even when I'm focusing on going home... Whenever I'm lost and want to cry...
I know you're going to make a mess of everything...
...by laughing out loud and jumping around.
You don't care what others may think. And you also hate what's not fair.
After you've run off there's a breeze left behind...
A breeze made of your smile.
You're invincible and bouncy... When you're serious you're wonderful.
You're awkward and you're a bad liar. But even so, l love you.
You're invincible and bouncy...
When you're serious you're wonderful.
I love that smile of yours, so someday I'll look out for you...
Do you always wear a skirt?
Not always! I wear it once in a while for my job, Nya.
What do you do?
It's a secret, Nya.
