Episode 138
Grandfather Happosai! A package has come for you! Here you are.
Who is it from? It just says, "To Master Happosai.
" Well, never mind.
Oh? Master! What's that? Oh! It's--! Don't be rude! Aw, Master, can't you tell us what it is? We'd like to know, too.
Grandfather Happosai, won't you tell us? In time.
Meanie.
Not very nice.
What's going on, anyway? Who knows? It's come at last.
Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong with Happosai? He hasn't stepped out of his room.
A very important package came for him.
An important package? - What is it? - He wouldn't even tell me.
The Master's been shut up in his room since it arrived.
Tendo, I've got a terrible feeling about this.
You have? You, too, Saotome? It's probably somethin' stupid again.
Here, Ranma! Grandfather Happosai! The Secret Demon Festival is soon to be held.
Secret Demon Festival??! It sounds so scary.
Look at this.
Why, it's--! Exactly.
This is what was delivered to me.
Huh? This is tough.
Be careful with that! It's the historic sacred object of the Secret Demon Festival.
- Sacred??! - Sacred??! Ranma, let's see it.
It just looks like an old empty can.
Listen well.
For over a thousand years the Secret Demon Festival has been attended by masters of various martial-arts forms.
Tested there were the skills of only the chosen.
The last one standing at the end was recognized as the best.
It was the gateway to success for youths who hoped to open their own schools.
Did you know that, Dad? No, never heard of it.
I never dreamed such a secret contest existed.
But for those who lost-- Their lives as martial artists were finished.
Kaput.
How tragic their end as martial artists.
For you, it should not be difficult to imagine.
What kind of fight is it? Pshaw! The rules are very simple.
Merely protect this sacred object from the foes.
Who are the foes? The promoters of the Secret Demon Festival.
They do not easily show themselves.
In other words, they are unseen foes? Yup.
Didn't we play that when we were little? With empty cans? - Kick-the-Can, you mean? - Yes, yes! It's like Kick-the-Can.
Wait a minute--? You want me to participate in this Kick-the-Can? Afraid? Fine.
I'll do it.
I wonder what's happened? They're both terribly gung-ho about it.
Isn't Happosai unusually serious, somehow? That's what's creepy about it.
It's only Kick-the-Can, though, right? They'll get tired of it soon.
I'm not so sure.
After that light workout, we'll begin intensive training! Harden your heart against all things! I know that! So where do we start? First, we start with roadwork! What? Just the basics??! Fool! Strength is everything in this battle! You'll never win without basic physical strength! Go! Okay, okay! They're here! Over there! Position-Shift Move? Happo Fire-Burst??! What the heck's goin' on??! No--! Sly ol' lech.
He's got me goin'.
Tsk, tsk.
We haven't even started.
He's got a long way to go.
Happy Pharmacy Ranma's crazy.
Every day he's covered with bruises.
W-What was that??! It's empty--! Checkmate! Who's there??! Not again! Not another distraction tactic, Saotome? Take this! It looks like he got away.
A cunning wretch.
Huh??! Where's my piece, Saotome??! I had checkmate! You're a cunning panda.
I'm home! Something weird happened to me! What's that, Akane? Dad! Didn't you hear a strange sound under the floor? Actually, we just heard suspicious noises in the garden, too.
Oh, what's everybody doing here? Grandfather Happosai! Don't get excited.
It's perfectly natural.
The participants in the Secret Demon Festival are gathering in this house.
- More rice! - Of course! Ranma! You're full of spirit, aren't you??! Good grief! His appetite's even better when he's hurt! Quiet, you.
Anything-Goes School of Martial-Arts Tip: "When injured, eat, eat and sleep!" Ranma, if you should lose the Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts namely, the Tendo Training Hall, will lose its successor.
Saotome, let's not talk about that now! No, Tendo! We must discuss it before the fight-- It'll be fine! We've got Akane.
Right? If Ranma loses, you can run the school yourself, right? Th-That's ridiculous! Oh, you want Ranma to take over the school, after all? Quiet! What's that got to do with anything??! Quit arguin'! Thanks for dinner.
I'm gonna get more sleep.
Now, Ranma, tonight it's finally time to test your skills.
Thanks to your trainin', my body can withstand hard knocks.
All right.
You and I must protect this until daybreak.
You cannot lose this to the enemy.
Nor, even, can you let it fall off this roof.
If that happens, we'lllose? Exactly! Any questions? - No! - Fine! Soon a signal will mark the start of the Secret Demon Festival.
Be on your guard.
Ranma? It's you, Akane? - Don't your bruises bother you? - They're nothin'.
Are you really going to stake your future on this fight? Ranma Kasumi! Are you still awake? I'm sure Ranma will be fine.
Go to bed now.
It's festival time! Who's the demon tonight? - Who's the demon? - Who's the demon? So they've come? The fight seems to have begun.
It seems to have begun.
That's the demon! Who's the new demon? He's the new demon.
Geez! Where the heck are they comin' from??! He's leavin' them to me? Interestin'.
Happosai! Guard the can! Take that! Wha--??! Th-They disappeared! A c-cat! It had to wander here, of all places! Shoo! Scram! This ain't no cat! Get away! Sorry, Happosai.
You're still not a demon.
I know! Are those guys spooky, though? So our methods weren't enough, after all? That's what makes it interesting.
That's why he's the demon.
Blast you, monsters! Quit sneakin' around! Come out and fight fair! Damn--! I ain't losin' to them! Ol' geezer, whip out some of your tricks! Hey! Old man! You're asleep??! An' don't come back-k-k! Rats! Those no good--! Okay, I'll fight 'em all alone! It'll be dawn soon.
It won't be long now.
Hang on, Ranma.
It'll be morning soon! I gotta finish them off!! I know! I gotcha!! Geezer! Gimme the Happo Fire-Burst! Happo Fire-Burst? Wha' for? Just gimme it!! Just take this! Saved! They didn't get this.
You were magnificent, Son-in-Law.
C-Cologne??! That's the Son-in-Law.
You did well.
You've got real spirit, son.
W-Were you those shadows??! Game over.
Galling, but we lose.
You were my foes? That's right.
Look, it's daybreak.
What a beautiful sunrise.
As if to celebrate your victory.
What a fun night.
Quite satisfying, I must say.
Game??! I thought my future depended on that battle! Future? What do you mean? I see! So Happy's been spinning tall tales again? Here! The prize as promised.
Take it.
Wha--??! Happy still wants these things at his age--! - What an incorrigible old coot! - Then this battle was--??! We old friends have an all-night reunion game every ten years.
Your participation made this year's event very exciting! Happy was a great organizer this year.
What an interesting guest he brought.
That dirty ol' coot! Toyin' with the fire of my youth--! I slept like a log! Is the reunion game over? Oh, sweet!! And they're mine, all mine! Why, you old That wasn't FUNNY!
Who is it from? It just says, "To Master Happosai.
" Well, never mind.
Oh? Master! What's that? Oh! It's--! Don't be rude! Aw, Master, can't you tell us what it is? We'd like to know, too.
