BTW, Ranma is in female form for the entire episode. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voices: Ranma's stopped cheering for Kunou-sempai?! Even worse, looks like he changed to the Seisyun Campus player! Ranma: If I help Seisyun Campus to win, it'll be my victory. Mariko: M-A-R-I-K-O Mariko is the goddess of victory. My cheering will keep Kunou-sama from defeat!! -------------------- (Ranma-chan cheers on the Seisyun swordsman, twirling batons ) Ranma: Keep aaaat it! I looove ya! Sign: Kunou Tatewaki (17) Kunou: (Just who is this drifter...) (Suddenly you appeared, and the pony-tailed girl started cheering for you!) I cannot allow it!! -------------------- Kunou: Experience utter defeat at the hands of Kunou Tatewaki!! (Kunou furiously attacks the hapless Seisyun swordsman) Mariko: The sure-killing "Baton Cutter"!! (Mariko sends six batons spinning towards the Seisyun swordsman) Students: While defending against Kunou's sword, avoiding the batons will be impossible! Ranma: We'll see about that!! -------------------- (Ranma throws batons, which intercept Mariko's in mid-air. They all fall directly on Kunou's head) Referee: Batons hit!! Mariko: Kyaaaa, Kuno-sama!! Ranma: Behold! the "Baton Rendezvous Avalanche Attack"!! I've already worked out how you move those batons! Mariko: "Baton Cutter" again! Ranma (throwing batons): How much longer do I have to do this!! -------------------- Mariko: Cheerleading martial arts special skill... "Equal Will Pole-baton Crush"!! Seisyun sw.: ! Ranma: ugf!? Students: The baton stretched!! -------------------- Ranma: G.. Goddamn... Mariko: hee... T-O-D-O-M-E todome [the final blow]!! (Suddenly, the Seisyun swordsman intercepts the extended baton. ) -------------------- Hiroshi: Oh, the white-masked swordsman protected Ranma! Daisuke: What kind of devotion is this!? [lit. "the love they held to each other"] Mariko: "Golden Dipper Cloud"! Hohoho, it's here already! Students: Ohh, the pom-poms form a cloud... (The Seisyun swordsman jumps to join Mariko on the "cloud" of pom-poms carried by the cheergirls, but is dragged under) Mariko: Ohohoho, you fell straight into the trap! It's the secret team skill, "Cloud Above Ants' Hell"! Learn its name! -------------------- Ranma: Are you gonna make him! (Ranma-chan grabs a bugle from the Fuurinkan supporters, blowing away the cheergirls) "Fanfare Trumpet Pain Agitation Breakup" of love!! Hiroshi: Nice follow! Daisuke: Aren't they a neat combination! Ranma (embracing the Seisyun swordsman): Hohohohoho, of course! We've been in love since we met! Students: Ohh! The swordsman blushed?! -------------------- Kunou: You fiend, tempting the pony-tailed girl!! (Mariko whisks away the Seisyun swordsman's bokken with tape, as Kunou lunges forward) Mariko: "Flying Tape Spiderweb Imprisonment" of love!! Kunou: Taste defeat!! Ranma: "Great Sword-Assisting Double-cut Kick" of love! -------------------- (Ranma jumps on Kunou and breaks the tape with a kick, then throws the bokken back to the Seisyun swordsman) Ranma: Take it! (The Seisyun swordsman fails to catch it.) Seisyun sw.: ... Ranma: ... pal, that was pretty clumsy. Hiroshi: To get angry just because he was told he was clumsy... Daisuke: Who in the world could it be... -------------------- Mariko: Ohoho, after all, that couple was made impromptu! You think you could triumph over the history of Kuno-sama and Mariko's love!? Ranma: Who are you kidding! You haven't even been acquainted 10 days! -------------------- Mariko: "Pom-pom Wave Surfing" of love! Students: Whaat!? The pom-pom turned into needles... -------------------- Mariko: "Flying Sky Pom-Pom Bomber"!! (The spiked pom-poms fly towards the Seisyun swordsman, first ripping apart the bokken, then tearing off the kendo mask) -------------------- Ranma: Ah... (This isn't a joke any more!) (You can't fall down now!) (Ranma holds the swordsman in his arms) Come on, hang in there!! I love you!! -------------------- Akane: Really? Ranma. (The Seisyun swordsman was...) Ranma: Akane...!? (Ranma turns to stone.) Mariko: (I've got you now!!)
