Who will walk away victorious?!
We will soon find out!
Fight!
The Masquerade Ball of Zaza Part 3
And the main event gets off to a roaring start!
It looks like they are sizing each other up and planning their
respective strategies with lightning speed.
The main event of this year's Masquerade Fighter's Ball
is finally underway! The Warrior of the Rising Son and Wonder Boy
are both fighting with their lives on the line
to be victorious in this final bout.
The Rising Son has his body covered from head to toe in heavy armor!
This makes it impossible for the Boy
to read the Son's facial expressions and body movements!
As for the Boy, he wears nothing even remotely resembling armor
and appears defenseless in front of his formidable foe.
That's amazing!
Oh man, what a fight!
You don't know what you're doing! This fight's far from over!
As the night approaches,
they continue to fight harder and harder!
This is quickly becoming the best fight I have ever witnessed!
They both struggle harder and harder and never seem to grow weary.
They've been at it now for five hours and not one person has left!
Every last person in the crowd is glued to this spectacle!
Incredible!
Everyone is too excited to go home.
I've never seen a fight as beautiful as this one in all my years.
I am at a loss for words.
Their bodies should not be able to take this for much longer.
Any normal person would have died from exhaustion by now.
It's almost like they're dancing together.
All right, it's finally over! The sun has risen and now it has set.
Looks like Jing has won!
Cube!
It can't be...
Stir!
Miss!
This can't be! The Warrior of the Rising Son is a girl?!
There is no longer any need to keep your mask on!
We'll get you!
Miss, Miss...
C'mon!
Miss, Miss...
Miss!
Stir, why did you have to...
Stir, answer me.
Open your eyes, please.
Stir, what did you say? Did you just say something?
It's here! The time has finally come!
The ringleader behind the plot
to assassinate the Madame has finally been exposed!
Even though he is only a child, he will receive the death penalty
for aiming for the life of the Madame, the worst crime imaginable!
Hey, Jing, are they going to put you away?
I think so.
Don't take off the Mask of Death!
Leave it on!
Leave it one! Don't take it off!
Quit copying me!
Baffle...
Back off!
Settle down, kid. We're on the same side. Back off!
Settle down, kid. We're on the same side.
But I'm not quite as forgiving as you are.
This guy tried to kill the Madame!
And for that he deserves a thousand deaths!
Are you good at cooking fowl? I can assure you I taste horrible!
But I have been told I'm sweet when in a woman's mouth.
Stop it, Baffle! If you don't stop...
Nothing can save you now, kid.
Unfortunately for you,
I have all the tools I need to cook any meal right here.
As you can see, everything's ready to go!
You will soon see the extent of my power.
Sounds nice.
What's the meaning of this, Baffle?
He's going to be punished, so don't worry about that!
Punished?
I'll punish him!
When I'm done with him, he'll be too tired to open his eyes!
I'll cut him so badly, all the blood in his body will dry up.
His body will be so full of fear,
he won't be able to move. That's how I'm going to punish him!
He isn't even human. He must be some kind of demon!
This little devil is going to bring ruin to the town of Zaza!
And I am here to perform the exorcism!
Devil...
Devil?
It is his fault that Miss Stir is in her present condition.
This is just the beginning of his ruin of this town!
We must destroy him before he is able to do anything else to us!
Stop right there!
I can't let you do whatever you want to him. That is not the law!
If a public execution is what you want,
I'll kill you both right now!
The least we can do is give him a fair trial!
How about it, kid?
Which way do you want to die? Though the system,
or in a duel like a man?!
What'll it be, kid?!
I know you want another chance at making a meal out of me.
No problem, why don't we have dinner together?
Mama, I'm doing my best.
I know I can never replace Lemon.
But I try hard for him too.
If I become the champion, could you please...
I'd love it if you would choose me.
Please, Mama?
Please...
Stir...
The sun is about to rise,
but not one spectator has left the arena all night!
This will be a great battle of life and death,
the likes of which our crowd here has never seen.
It appears that the entire town is here in the corrida right now!
We all await what will perhaps be
the final appearance of our Wonder Boy.
Hey, what's going on?!
Where is he?
Let's get on with it already! Where is he?
Let's get on with it already!
Everyone needs to just calm down.
I'm almost done with my pre-fight feast.
The crowd here needs to start showing
a little more respect for the fight.
And here he is.
It's already morning?
The morning has come.
This truly is a blessed star.
It has been perfect for millions of years.
Never too close or too far away...
Never too hot or too cold...
I can always rely on the sun. He is always there to gaze back at me.
I have been such a fool.
I have nothing but regret inside my heart.
I've never before even taken the time
to notice the simple beauty of a sunrise.
And the danger that it brings...
I can't believe that I almost lost another child because of it.
Water...
Water! Bring me some water!
You about ready now, kid?
No, please...
Get on with it!
It's already started?
Looks like the kid can't really hold his own.
This will be a tragedy if he doesn't return an attack soon!
Who would have ever suspected this?!
Didn't you know that cooking requires incredible skill?!
Well, before I finish you off...
How long have I been out?
Angostura! What are you doing here?!
Where are you going?
Stop ignoring me and say something already!
Stir...
What's wrong, Stir?
Mama...
After I take this devil mask off of you,
I'm gonna stuff and mount you like a little deer!
Hey, this isn't him! This is Angostura!
It was him! It was that damn bandit!
He stole the Vintage Smile!
The Vintage Smile?
That kid completely tricked all of us!
He is the Bandit King!
The Bandit King?!
He set up this fight as a diversion
to get the guards away from the palace!
No!
It's not our fault. We thought he was Mr. Angostura.
I have to hurry and tell Madame Earl!
Madame Earl! Miss Stir!
Madame Earl! I am incredibly sorry, but the Vintage Smile has...
Angostura?
It's okay. It's all right. He didn't take the Vintage Smile.
I'm so relieved.
Madame Earl is wearing it as we speak.
Bingo!
Hey, Jing, check it out!
I always suspected that he shared our profession.
Ginjou!
Hey, so you're the Bandit King
that can supposedly steal the stars out of the sky?
Now I believe all the rumors about your skill.
Hey, be careful and don't drop any of your bounty!
Thanks! You guys be careful too and don't get killed!
Baffle?
See you guys later!
I see you've chosen to take the path of thorns!
That's an excellent choice,
if you plan on dying today!
Ouch...
I've warned countless fools before you. You're in my world now!
You shall pay the price for not heeding my warning!
Jing, look!
I guess that's his real face.
He must have been wearing a human mask this whole time.
This doesn't look good, Jing!
Yeah, doesn't look good for him.
Kir Royale!
I can't believe this!
This is the Madame's real face!
How could you let the Bandit King use you like that?
It's all your fault! The Vintage Smile is gone!
You must hurry and get after the Bandit King immediately!
That's enough.
That mask is not the important thing here.
It's all right. Everything is just fine.
By the way, what happened with you and Stir when you went to see her?
Are you hiding something from me?
What did you do, Jing!? Look me in the eyes and tell me what happened!
My lady, Miss Stir...
I was wondering if I might have the pleasure of waltzing with you?
Oh my, it is quite kind of you to ask.
But I must kindly refuse.
Welcome back, Stir.
I am waiting for a certain someone to return to me.
I promised myself that he would be the next man I dance with.
Thank you though.
