The Masquerade Ball of Zaza Part 2
He's been defeated!
Cube de Ice takes his first loss!
Who could that other warrior be? Where did he come from?
That bastard... Who could that other warrior be? Where did he come from?
That bastard...
All we know about this strange armored warrior
is that he comes from another land far in the east!
I am sure that this new, bright warrior should be dubbed,
the Warrior of the Rising Son.
Warrior of the Rising Son?
Hey, Jing! Things were going well for our plan to snag the
Vintage Smile before this dude showed up.
We've got to keep our eyes on the prize, Jing.
You're right.
There he is, the guy from the fight! You're right.
There he is, the guy from the fight!
Hold on, slow down, ladies.
Are you his manager?
What kind of stuff does he like?
Does he have a girlfriend? What kind of stuff does he like?
Does he have a girlfriend?
Oh, he'll easily win his next fight!
But of course! We wouldn't want to let you girls down now, would we?!
You're weak! You'll never win the championship.
Your eyes are going to spin just like that mask on your head.
What about your eyes?
Hey, you're the Madame's...
Let me go!
Got it? We're expecting the Bandit King to strike any minute,
so don't let your guard down.
Grandfather!
Angostura, what's wrong?
Miss Stir has gone missing.
I wonder if she went to the carnival?
Ever since her younger brother was assassinated,
she has never been allowed to leave the palace.
At a time like this, when everyone in the town is wearing masks,
is really the only time when she can freely walk the streets.
This is Kir!
This amazing young boy continues to prance through the competition here
like a comet, passing his second and third opponents with ease!
No one knows how to put an end to this spectacular upset.
He is well on his way to the finals,
but the Warrior of the Rising Son is also performing quite well.
If they both keep up the same pace,
a bout between the two of them is inevitable!
Hey, you've got to be ready for everything in this business.
Now then...
The best fights of this amazing tournament are still yet to come.
Hey!
Watch this, shouldn't take that long. Hey!
Watch this, shouldn't take that long.
The time has come for the bout
between the Warrior of the Rising Son and Ginjou.
Ginjou is finally ready to put his money where his mouth is.
His cheap, street fighting style has gotten him this far,
but will it be enough to defeat the Rising Son?!
Fight!
He comes out fighting! He was drinking pure alcohol,
and starts things off with his unique drunken fireball attack!
It doesn't connect! Son continues to successfully dodge them all!
His light steps allow him to avoid every attack!
Ginjou didn't hit him once! The proud Ginjou must face
the fact that his sake attack is useless.
He might as well be throwing strawberry syrup on the Son!
How about this!
Hey brother, no more of this prancing around like a girl!
Ginjou! Where is Ginjou?!
I have been defeated.
I know when to admit my defeat. Sorry for not dying for you guys.
Later...
Mr. Ginjou has been respectfully defeated,
and thus ends the White Corrida for today.
And now, we begin the Black Corrida.
This is the traditional illumination of the stage.
Guess it's time to go to work.
Miss Stir, have you returned home?
The Madame wishes to see you.
Miss?
Please excuse me!
Oh, it's just you Angostura.
What do you want?
What's this?
Isn't this the medal my mom gave you?
You always carry this around with you like a good little boy?
I'm surprised that cold bitch ever gave anyone anything.
I never see Her Highness' true expressions because of the mask.
So this is the closest I can get to understanding her feelings.
That's pretty foolish.
Here, what did you want? Does my mom want me?
Yes, Ma'am.
I'll be there after I change clothes. Yes, Ma'am.
I'll be there after I change clothes.
Oh, thank God.
If she would have found this I would have just died.
But what was she doing sitting here in her underwear?
Stir, the fight is about to begin. Get ready.
I'm sick of these fights. It's just the same thing every year.
This will be the last year of the masked battle
if there's anything I can do about it!
It's you?!
What's up?
What are you doing? You can't be here. What's up?
What are you doing? You can't be here.
I'm a little lost.
You're not lost!
This palace isn't the kind of place you can just wander in to!
There are more guards than usual, to keep the Bandit King out.
Is that so?
How about this one?
That's the dress my mom used to wear to the balls.
She looked so pretty in that dress, dancing all night.
But now all of the balls are for fighting.
I have never even danced once in my entire life.
What a coincidence, neither have I.
I think that dancing would suit you much better than fighting.
Go join the guards stationed at the eastern gate.
Yes, Sir.
What's wrong?
We've just received word that the thief is somewhere in the palace. What's wrong?
We've just received word that the thief is somewhere in the palace.
Are you lost too?
No, I just like to jump up on stuff like this.
Find him!
He's getting away.
Good luck in your match.
Just as expected, Baffle of the Ice Brothers
has made a quick meal of his opponent!
I can't believe how hard that guy hits!
And next we have the little Boy Wonder
versus the middle of the three Ice Brothers, Crash de Ice.
Fight!
Looks like you could use a little trim, kid.
Your clothes look a little too big for you.
With my special tailoring technique
your clothes will fit good as new in no time.
Just don't complain if you lose a few body parts in the process!
Crash de Ice is turning the kid's clothes into a uniform of death!
He is utilizing his incredible scissors as his only weapon!
His skill with those scissors
has earned him the well-deserved title of Tailor of Demons.
What do you think you're doing with that? You're no tailor!
You amateur!
Jing, you idiot! What are you doing?
What are these? The candles for the altar at your funeral?!
Staying up past your bedtime and playing with fire,
you're being a bad boy.
Now it seems it has come time to make the final alterations.
The boy is done for if the tailor catches him
with the spinning blades of those scissors!
I hope red is your color, kid.
What the?
Whoa! It appears as if Crash has been defeated.
He has been brought to his knees! What happened?!
Oh, now I see. He's the only one encircled in the flames,
and with all that armor on, he's steaming like a human boiler!
Seems like all of his tailoring equipment has backfired on him!
When I'm done with you,
you'll be too small to fit into baby's clothes!
It's all over folks! Nobody thought he could do it!
I told you Jing could never lose with girls like you watching.
It looks like it's fine.
That Bandit King...
Grandfather?
This will soon be the most important heirloom in the palace.
What!? Are you saying that the heir has been decided upon?
Don't worry about that. There is talk about that kid, Jing,
earning the right if he becomes the champion.
But the champion has never received the right to the throne before!
The Ice Brothers have always been the champions,
even without the promise of the throne.
I think that kid is going to make it through.
There is no one else.
If Lemon were still alive,
this is about the time he would have started his rule.
There's just something about that kid.
He reminds me a lot of the Earl when he was younger.
What should we do now?
This town is ours, we've earned it. The Madame owes us big time.
We need to do something before she abandons us and it's too late.
We cannot allow anyone else to take the throne.
Got it?
Come in.
What is my mother doing?
She has already retired for the evening.
She said that tomorrow
we will all be watching the fight from some very special seats.
It is the most important match I guess.
Mother still doesn't want to admit that Lemon is gone.
Did you guys come all this way just to ask me to dance?
I guess not.
Can't you can be more original than a night attack in an alley?
If you leave this town right away, we'll spare your life.
But you guys haven't even started dancing.
You leave us no other choice than to throw you out in a body bag!
What's going on here?
What is the meaning of this, Baffle?
Bug off! Don't get in our way or you'll end up just like him, kid!
Even though they're not wearing masks,
I can't seem to tell these runts apart.
Are you mocking the tools of my trade, boy?!
Kir Royale!
Get him!
This way!
Stop them!
They're getting away!
Thank you.
I can't believe they almost killed me.
You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Finally, this is the moment that we have all been waiting for.
The Warrior of the Rising Son versus Wonder Boy.
This fight will separate the man from the boy,
and show us our true champion!
Madame Dubonnet herself is gracing us with her presence tonight
as she watches the fight from her own special seat.
This fight will possibly go down in all of history!
One of these two warriors will become the heir to the throne.
But of course, we mustn't forget about Baffle de Ice,
who still has a chance to become the heir.
But according to rumors around town,
the Rising Son's beautiful fighting style
has captured the hearts of the people around town.
He is favored to win the crown.
And now, without further ado...
Who will walk away victorious?!
We will soon find out!
Fight!
