[00:02] ---
    Akihabara, the city of dreams,
[00:02] ---
    "Akihabara"
[00:04] ---
    is now under threat from mysterious
    monstrosities known as the Bugged Ones.
[00:10] ---
    The people of the city formed
    vigilante organizations to resist them,
[00:14] ---
    but the invasion of the Bugged Ones
    only grew worse each day.
[00:18] ---
    This is a story of Tamotsu Denkigai,
[00:21] ---
    a young man who gained
    the power of the Bugged Ones,
[00:23] ---
    and his merry friends, who stood up
    to defend the peace in Akihabara.
[00:27] ---
    "Electric Mayonnaise"
[00:37] ---
    Jeez. I'm glad my parents
    sent me food, but...
[00:42] ---
    Big Bro! Mom sent rice!
[00:44] ---
    Th-This is first-class
    "Koshihikari" brand rice!
[00:49] ---
    Who would have thought the hideout
    wouldn't even have a rice cooker?
[00:53] ---
    Ma doesn't cook at all, it seems.
[00:56] ---
    Surprising, because she eats
    five times more than others.
[00:57] ---
    I know, right?
[00:59] ---
    Shut up! I specialize in eating!
[01:02] ---
    It's not like Tamotsu cooks either.
[01:04] ---
    I don't cook doesn't mean I can't.
[01:07] ---
    Don't make Big Bro cook!
[01:09] ---
    Seems like the kind of thing Tamotsu
    would spend way too much money on.
[01:12] ---
    Yeah. One time, he said he would make curry.
[01:17] ---
    He started by hand-picking and mixing spices,
[01:20] ---
    stewed the soup for three
    days and three nights,
[01:22] ---
    and separated rice grain by grain.
[01:25] ---
    It took him a week to finish cooking!
[01:27] ---
    Hey! I spent time on the pickles, too!
[01:29] ---
    Don't worry, I can make curry.
[01:33] ---
    Arisa, you can make curry?
[01:34] ---
    I'm great at it!
[01:36] ---
    I see. Hmm?
[01:38] ---
    Moi?
[01:41] ---
    What's that? Some kind of special event?
[01:44] ---
    What's that...?
[01:46] ---
    Cardboard boxes.
[01:52] ---
    Wow, how is that possible?
[01:55] ---
    Isn't it heavy?
[01:56] ---
    I'm afraid his neck might break.
[01:58] ---
    That's...
[02:00] ---
    M-Master?!
[03:38] ---
    "TRIP 8 - Akihabara Grand Tournament"
    "Duty Free Electronics"
[03:38] ---
    You really knew him?
[03:40] ---
    He didn't react at all.
[03:40] ---
    "TRIP 8 - Akihabara Grand Tournament"
[03:42] ---
    It was definitely my kung-fu master
    from my training days in China!
[03:47] ---
    Training in China?
[03:49] ---
    So that's how you became so strong.
[03:51] ---
    Moi, it was a very tough training.
[03:55] ---
    But it was a great experience for me,
    because until then, all I ever did was study.
[03:59] ---
    Ten years ago, I graduated
    the Ultimate University in the US.
[04:04] ---
    I then went on a trip to discover
    what I really want to do.
[04:09] ---
    What? You're a college graduate?
[04:11] ---
    So you're actually smart...
[04:13] ---
    I thought I could find that
    special something if I expanded my views.
[04:17] ---
    So, I traveled all over
    the world to see things.
[04:25] ---
    I perfected curry in India,
    learned about British humor in England,
[04:29] ---
    and harnessed my wild side in Africa.
[04:32] ---
    Wow, you've been everywhere!
[04:34] ---
    Too greedy.
[04:36] ---
    In other words, I've been to many countries
    and have done many things.
[04:41] ---
    One of them was my meeting my master.
[04:44] ---
    "Master"
[04:46] ---
    I only trained under him for about a year.
[04:49] ---
    He trained not just my body,
    but my heart as well.
[04:53] ---
    When things were tough,
    or when I encountered difficulties,
[04:57] ---
    and also when I was having fun,
    he was always with me.
[05:00] ---
    After that, I mastered the martial arts,
[05:03] ---
    then came to Japan to
    master the way of the otaku.
[05:07] ---
    So that's what you did
    before coming to Japan.
[05:10] ---
    I guess you're not just a weird foreigner.
[05:12] ---
    Moi!
[05:13] ---
    But why is this master guy here?
[05:16] ---
    I don't know.
[05:18] ---
    He did say he wanted to take his family
    on a trip to Japan one day...
[05:22] ---
    Anyway, let's buy that rice cooker!
[05:25] ---
    "Rice Cooker Section"
[05:27] ---
    "This item is sold out"
[05:31] ---
    Why is it all gone?
[05:33] ---
    It's all sold out...
[05:34] ---
    Not even the display models?
[05:36] ---
    I'm sorry, all rice cookers
    are sold out today...
[05:40] ---
    Huh? How can we cook rice, then?
[05:43] ---
    Is it normal for just rice cookers
    to fly off the shelves like this?
[05:45] ---
    What a shopping spree...
[05:47] ---
    Tamotsu, look.
[05:51] ---
    Moving tower of cardboard again...
[05:53] ---
    Can it be...?
[05:56] ---
    That customer has purchased them all today.
[06:01] ---
    Wait a sec!
[06:03] ---
    Hey! At least listen!
[06:07] ---
    Long time no see, Master!
[06:11] ---
    Moi! You could have told me
    you're coming here!
[06:20] ---
    Oh, someone you know? Interesting.
[06:24] ---
    Her attack power is off the charts...
[06:29] ---
    Who are you? Do you know my master?
[06:32] ---
    Me? I am in charge of managing this man...
[06:36] ---
    Diva Risa McWhite.
[06:39] ---
    Risa McWhite? The Risa McWhite?
[06:43] ---
    Do you know her?
[06:44] ---
    She's a mysterious promoter who suddenly
    appeared in the world of martial arts!
[06:48] ---
    She acquired other organizations rapidly,
[06:50] ---
    and supports her fighters
    not just from behind the scenes,
[06:54] ---
    but also forcefully, sometimes going up
    on the ring and becoming champion herself!
[06:58] ---
    Promoter? What does she
    want with your master?
[07:02] ---
    It's simple... He's now
    my tool to conquer Akiba!
[07:08] ---
    What?!
[07:09] ---
    Is that what the shopping spree is for?
[07:12] ---
    That's right. We will buy cheap
    duty-free goods as a foreigner,
[07:18] ---
    then resell them to Japanese people
    at full price to confuse the retail market.
[07:20] ---
    We will conquer Akiba amidst the chaos!
[07:24] ---
    How crazy...
[07:26] ---
    What an unscrupulous reseller...
[07:29] ---
    You must be a Bugged One!
[07:32] ---
    Oh, good guess.
[07:35] ---
    You've found me!
[07:37] ---
    Wow! It's the usual sequence!
[07:39] ---
    What about my master?!
[07:45] ---
    It can't be...
[07:46] ---
    He is my loyal servant,
    purchasing rice cookers for me.
[07:52] ---
    How dishonorable...
    Or rather, who would bother?
[07:55] ---
    I don't believe my master
    would be controlled so easily.
[07:57] ---
    But he is; it's not up to debate!
[08:02] ---
    It's a bit hard to go sell to retailers
    with flies like you buzzing around...
[08:10] ---
    Master?!
[08:12] ---
    Unless you enjoy pain, you should leave.
[08:21] ---
    This pressure... He's strong!
[08:24] ---
    Everyone, stand back!
[08:26] ---
    Master! Snap out of it!
    You weren't like this!
[08:32] ---
    Arisa!
[08:35] ---
    If you're going to get in our way...
[08:37] ---
    Do it!
[08:39] ---
    Here he comes!
[08:53] ---
    Big Bro!
[08:58] ---
    I will face you.
[09:16] ---
    Beloved customers!
[09:18] ---
    Grappling in our store is strictly forbidden.
[09:21] ---
    You are bothering our
    other customers as well...
[09:26] ---
    If you continue...
[09:28] ---
    ...we must take appropriate action.
[09:32] ---
    Quiet, please.
[09:34] ---
    S-So sorry!
[09:37] ---
    "Duty Free Electronics"
[09:41] ---
    Wow, that shopkeeper was something.
[09:43] ---
    We can't cause trouble to people
    just because we want to protect Akiba.
[09:47] ---
    But we also can't just
    let our fight fizzle out.
[09:51] ---
    I will provide the battleground.
[09:54] ---
    What?!
[09:55] ---
    A great venue, fitting
    for two kung-fu elites!
[09:59] ---
    Yes... The Great Akiba
    Tournament is now open!
[10:03] ---
    What?!
[10:06] ---
    Great Tournament...
[10:12] ---
    "Great Tournament"
[10:25] ---
    The Akiba special arena
    is super full, Kage-san!
[10:28] ---
    Yes, I can't tell how many people there are.
[10:31] ---
    Who would've thought someone would
    organize this in the middle of Akiba?
[10:34] ---
    It is unexpected.
[10:56] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen!
[10:59] ---
    Introducing the first fighter!
    From Hunan, China, weighing 154 pounds...
[11:06] ---
    ...he is the kung-fu champion
    of the world, Ma Ster!
[11:12] ---
    Here comes Ma Ster! He appears
    quite ready, with the Devil Panda style!
[11:18] ---
    He has the coolest entry.
[11:20] ---
    Given how suddenly this event
    was organized and announced,
[11:25] ---
    who would've thought so many people
    would view this fight in Akiba?
[11:29] ---
    Yes, he's, like, a sudden charismatic leader
    of the ring or something.
[11:35] ---
    Indeed!
[11:46] ---
    Look! It's Ma Ster's Extreme Akiba Pose!
[11:50] ---
    The audience is warmed up, too!
[11:54] ---
    And look, Diva Risa is outside
    the ring with the mic!
[11:59] ---
    Listen up, boys of Akiba!
[12:03] ---
    Today, I brought the strongest man alive
    so that I can rule Akiba.
[12:08] ---
    What?! Risa will rule Akiba?!
[12:12] ---
    First, those so-called vigilantes
    who pretend to defend this town.
[12:17] ---
    Nobody asked them,
    but they claim to be so righteous.
[12:24] ---
    It's true, the vigilantes have no legal grounds,
    just an unwritten code!
[12:28] ---
    --But their intentions are true.
    --Risa sucks! Risa sucks! Risa sucks! Risa sucks!
[12:33] ---
    In order for me to do as I like,
[12:36] ---
    I assure I will squash you one by one.
[12:42] ---
    Wait, this song, could it be?!
[12:50] ---
    Moi!
[12:54] ---
    And his opponent! From Helsinki, Finland,
    weighing 112 pounds...
[13:01] ---
    ...Arisa Ahokainen!
[13:07] ---
    Look! It's Arisa Ahokainen, from the vigilante
    group Electric Mayonnaise and Friends!
[13:13] ---
    Today, she represents all vigilantes
    to defeat Diva Risa and her ambitions,
[13:17] ---
    and will take on Ma Ster!
[13:19] ---
    Arisa and Ma Ster are both
    great kung-fu martial artists!
[13:22] ---
    Let's look forward to this great fight!
[13:29] ---
    Master, please wake up!
[13:32] ---
    You can't listen to that person!
[13:35] ---
    It looks like these two have some history!
[13:39] ---
    Yes. Arisa is actually Ma Ster's apprentice!
[13:44] ---
    The master vs. apprentice fight
    of the century is about to begin!
[13:50] ---
    The battle for the peace of Akiba has begun.
[13:54] ---
    In this Grand Tournament,
    the rules are very hard core!
[13:56] ---
    Yes. Not only is he a kung-fu master,
[13:59] ---
    given that there are no rules,
    we have no idea what Risa has up her sleeve.
[14:05] ---
    So Arisa must pay attention
    to both her opponent and her back.
[14:09] ---
    It seems like Arisa has the edge
    in terms of raw power!
[14:14] ---
    He swings her towards the ropes!
[14:16] ---
    His technique is astounding!
[14:19] ---
    Ooh! A devastating blow!
[14:21] ---
    That really hurts when
    you don't see it coming.
[14:23] ---
    Hey! No fair!
[14:24] ---
    No rules means everything goes!
[14:28] ---
    Oh no! The referee is down!
[14:31] ---
    Now! Do it!
[14:36] ---
    O-Okay, then...
[14:38] ---
    Ma Ster, don't you care about
    what would happen to your family?
[14:42] ---
    Oh no! Ma Ster's family is being
    held hostage and in forced labor!
[14:47] ---
    It seems like they are growing lettuce
    in a mountainous village!
[14:52] ---
    Do it!
[14:55] ---
    No, master!
[15:00] ---
    My god!
[15:01] ---
    Arisa!
[15:02] ---
    This is dangerous!
[15:07] ---
    Is he jumping from there?!
[15:11] ---
    It's the Master Tombstone Bomb!
[15:13] ---
    My goodness!
[15:14] ---
    Oh no, our Spanish language casters!
[15:17] ---
    Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
[15:20] ---
    Wow, wow, great! Are they okay?!
[15:23] ---
    Look, Ma Ster is pulling
    out... a kendo stick!
[15:36] ---
    Weapon attack fails!
[15:41] ---
    Rapid-fire chops! Arisa is on fire!
[15:46] ---
    One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six!
[15:51] ---
    Hmm? What's this?
[15:53] ---
    It looks like the waiting room.
[15:58] ---
    Sorry, Arisa, Tamotsu... I let my guard down.
[16:01] ---
    Help, Big Bro!
[16:03] ---
    Those are Electric Mayonnaise members!
[16:05] ---
    Oh no! They've been taken hostage, too!
[16:09] ---
    What?!
[16:12] ---
    Very dirty.
[16:14] ---
    Let's end this nonsense.
    Do you care about what happens to them?!
[16:19] ---
    Dammit, I was wondering where they went!
[16:22] ---
    Ma, Niwaka...
[16:26] ---
    Ma Ster begins his counterattack!
[16:30] ---
    No! No!
[16:32] ---
    Just give up already!
[16:34] ---
    Even with no rules, this is bad!
[16:39] ---
    There it is! It's Ma Ster's Shaming Spread!
[16:43] ---
    He's cornering her,
    both physically and psychologically!
[16:48] ---
    But if I retaliate, the two of them would...
[16:52] ---
    I have to do something... I know!
[16:55] ---
    Ma Ster releases her!
    What is he doing? What's this?!
[17:02] ---
    It's a bunch of tables!
[17:04] ---
    This is the setup for Ma Ster's signature
    high-altitude move, the Last Emperor Press!
[17:10] ---
    Ma Ster begins climbing the giant ladder!
[17:13] ---
    He's careful.
[17:14] ---
    If he succeeds, this match
    would be over, right, Kage-san?!
[17:17] ---
    This was his finisher in
    the Chinese tournament as well.
[17:25] ---
    What?!
[17:25] ---
    Tamotsu!
[17:26] ---
    TM2! TM2! TM2! TM2!
[17:37] ---
    Are you okay?!
[17:38] ---
    Tamotsu!
[17:39] ---
    Thank you, Big Bro!
[17:41] ---
    He did it! Now Arisa is
    free to counterattack!
[17:45] ---
    Dammit!
[17:50] ---
    Wow, this is intense!
[17:54] ---
    Both fighters are down!
[17:57] ---
    It's your chance, Ma Ster! She is still down!
[18:00] ---
    Finish her with this!
[18:07] ---
    Don't you care about your family?!
[18:11] ---
    Huh? Don't you care?!
[18:20] ---
    Ow! What are you doing?! I'm not the enemy!
[18:24] ---
    My wushu is not for doing
    such dastardly deeds.
[18:29] ---
    Ma Ster suddenly betrays!
[18:31] ---
    What is going on?!
[18:33] ---
    Something could have happened
    from the impact of the landing.
[18:37] ---
    Or perhaps Risa's slap.
[18:45] ---
    Risa is down!
[18:48] ---
    Master.
[18:50] ---
    The fight is not yet over.
[19:12] ---
    There it is, the signature
    Clothesline from Mapo Tofu!
[19:18] ---
    A sweet tune is played on the master's groin!
[19:22] ---
    Brace yourself, Master!
[19:26] ---
    Could it be?!
[19:31] ---
    Here it comes! Arisa's signature finisher...
    Lovely Final the End of Attack!
[19:46] ---
    One! Two!
[19:48] ---
    Three!
[19:51] ---
    The master-apprentice fight of the
    century has been won by the apprentice!
[19:58] ---
    Oh no! This is bad!
[20:00] ---
    Attacked after such fatigue, not good.
[20:03] ---
    Because of you, my plans to sell
    cheaply-bought rice cookers at retail price
[20:08] ---
    is ruined beyond repair!
[20:10] ---
    What now?!
[20:12] ---
    That's Tamotsu!
[20:14] ---
    Akiba belongs to everyone!
[20:17] ---
    I can't allow a stingy idiot
    like you to run amok!
[20:25] ---
    Taste the peculiar techniques of Tamotsu!
[20:34] ---
    Even if you defeat me,
    another reseller will rise to take my--
[20:39] ---
    Enough already!
[20:40] ---
    Time to give up already!
[20:44] ---
    It's the legendary two-platoon move,
    the World of Gonzo!
[20:48] ---
    They did it!
[20:59] ---
    I'm sorry to ruin your town like this.
[21:03] ---
    Don't worry. I'm strong, you know?
[21:07] ---
    Yes... I know.
[21:09] ---
    But it's good to see both you
    and your family are safe.
[21:15] ---
    I am obviously in need of more training,
    to be manipulated by someone like her.
[21:19] ---
    I will restart my training from scratch.
[21:21] ---
    Remember, everyone! Our town, Akiba,
    will be defended by us, the vigilantes!
[21:28] ---
    Moi, moi! We will continue
    to defend the peace in Akiba!
[21:33] ---
    Please help us Electric Mayonnaise help you!
[21:36] ---
    Ready, everyone!
[21:38] ---
    Electric Mayonnaise!
[21:42] ---
    ELM! ELM! ELM! ELM! ELM!
[21:52] ---
    "The End"
[23:26] ---
    Stop! Tamotsu! Your life points
    dropped to zero a long time ago!
[23:29] ---
    If you continue the card battle...
[23:30] ---
    I'm sorry, Mayo. It seems like
    this is the end of the line for me.
[23:32] ---
    No!
