the throat.

HE DANCES YOU TO THE BAR

The guest of honor you've all been waiting for.

HE'S HOLDING YOUR HAND

ARMY AGAINST THE TABLE

The Castle of Takeshi!

Takashi Castle (Japan)

An army of 100 brave warriors

attempted to capture the first fortress, Ueda
Castle.

of Lord Shinya Ueda.

34 years after the last battle,

Takeshi Castle has strengthened its defences

and is wiping out the warriors one by one.

Sixty warriors survived and made it past the third
fortress.

60 FIGHTERS SURVIVED

The road ahead of them splits in two, and new
battlefields open up.

THE FIRST CASTLE: CASTLE OENTA

Big plate.

And now I'd like to move on

to a new game we've made.

-New? Yes, we have new, dynamic games.

SHINYA WENTA, MASTER OF THE FIRST CASTLE.

I can't wait for you to see it.

OSAMU SHITARA & YUKI CHIMURA

-Good.
-Our staff is very tough.

It's clear he doesn't want winners.

That's how this show has always been.

Next game is the Bracarians!

"THE NEXT GAME IS THE NEXT GAME!

This is probably the first time you've heard it.
Don't be afraid!

I believe in your abilities. You will win!

Here we go! Attack!

There are more of them than last time.

NISHIKIGOI: HASEGAWA & WATANABE TAKASHI ARMY

The Nishikigoi duo.

Listen, soldier! Not a single one of you will
pass!

You will not pass!

I'm controlling the situation with these levers.

Don't even think about coming through here!

RIGHT-HANDED ROTATION

You're gonna break it, you idiot!

What do we do with it now?

Our comedians are nervous about ruining a set.

I DON'T KNOW.

-I'll give it my all! She's a storyteller.

NARRATOR: SHIZUKA KAVANAUGH

-You got it! Get him!

Don't be nervous!

GET OUT OF THE ARMS AND CROSS OVER.

Nice balance!

-You can do it! He's gonna make it!

Jump over. Jump!

-Don't stop! This is bad. He's a tough nut.

Beautiful!

Is he gonna keep going like that?

-He pushed her back. He's got her cornered for
good.

-That's good. Jump on top!

She's got great balance!

-Go for it! Well done!

She's gotta hurry.

Here comes the next arm.

-Good. Get up.

He keeps pushing her back.

-Keep going after the jump! Take your time.

There she goes. He's got her.

If you lose your balance, you'll fall.

That's the way it is. It's hard.

Takeshi, here I come!

MASAKO TOMATO HOUSEHOLD TOMATOES

Back here again, after 35 years.

-She's a well-behaved woman. Good. Relax!

Don't touch that.

It was very difficult.

-Easy! Don't touch that.

-There she is. She's coming! Cheetan.

CHITAN - FAIRY SCREW (ETERNAL 0 YEARS OLD)

What is this thing?

What is it?

-Cheetan. Cheetan? Okay.

-Cheetan! It's gonna be a tough fight.

-They're all excited. Right down to the bone.

Look out!

-Cheetan! Follow the arms.

-He's doing fine. Here, it's all right.

No, be careful.

Her head is huge.

-You got it! Come on, Cheetan!

-Look up. Her head's blocking her.

Oh, man!

A stupid thing.

BORUNYAN STONE CLIMBER STONE FAIRY (PERMANENT 33)

-Here comes another one. It's Borunissan.

Another mascot.

What's so cool about that?

He can't see where he's going.

-Great move. No...

What a shame.

Looks like no one can get through.

NARRATOR: JUNE HATTORI

Suddenly, the army has a powerful helper!

JACKIE CHAN CELEBRITY MEME

Jackie-chan, known for his Jackie Chan
impersonation, lifts the gauntlet.

-He's well-skinned. No more gas!

-Very good! Like watching a Jackie Chan movie.

Like this.

-Nice! What? What's he doing?

It was supposed to be a sure thing.

But it fell off after the second arm.

No way!

Why did they bother to call him?

-I thought he'd do well. Yes, sir.

DAI HIRAYAMA

The brave offensive of the militants continues.

IMARI HIRAOKA

-It was a dangerous thing to do.
-Careful!

It was dangerous.

Meanwhile, Makaroni, a member of the Sengoku
Resistance,

came very close to victory.

Get in the water!

MAKARONI - SENGOKU RESISTANCE

Get down!

You're doing very well! Well done!

-He'll make it! -Careful!

No! It's broken!

One more arm and he would have finished. He was so
close.

I thought he was gonna make it!

We got off cheap. He's gone too far.

It's getting tough.

We'll use a new weapon.

BUBBLE MACHINE

That machine will make it even harder for them to
get across.

They've made things as hard as they can!

Dishonest, Nisikigoi!

The next player came here to find love.

-It's me! I'm going! It's Maya.

Get them!

I'm shading!

She's just looking for love.

MAYA - LOOKING FOR A SON-IN-LAW

Go on, don't stop!

Let's go!

-What happened? How...

You bubbles, you bubbles, it only lasted six
seconds.

He was knocked out immediately.

Imoto, who came with her son, has something to
confide.

KAORI & SAKURA IMOTO MOTHER AND SON

Chief Kimura, I love you!

KAORI IMOTO KIMURA FAN, HOME

-Cardula! And from me.

-Well done! We're talking about a full frontal
as*ault!

Don't stop!

-Crush her! Jump on top!

-Come on! Hold on!

Excellent!

No!

It fell!

Are you going to say goodbye to the chief?

I love you, chief!

Thank you! Thank you! You did your best!

Ignoring the bubble machine, the army attacks with
a vengeance!

SAKURA IMOTO - HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT CAME WITH HIS
MOM

MIYU CANDA - TELEPRESENCE

ASUKA TAKAGI LEADER "TAKAGI BAKUFU"

Welcome to the Avenue of Hell.

Get over the bump!

KENIA FURUKAWA "TAKAGI BAKUFU"

AKINKO - DANCE LOVER

It was hard, wasn't it?

-I have no idea what happened. Are you okay?

Next up, with an average age of 50, is the Hibiya
singles club.

It's a bunch of middle-aged gentlemen who work for
big companies.

THE HIBIYA SINGLE GUY CLUB

I've already thought about how we're going to win
this game.

-We're all set. Yes.

I want them to do well.

I'm gonna win! Go get him, my 55-year-old.

TOSHITAKA HOSHIY, HEAD OF THE CLUB HIBIA.

Go get him, Josey!

Here comes Hosoy, who works at a foreign credit
union.

-Good! Very good!

-Don't rush... No!

It's over too fast!

Why was he in such a hurry to move on?

WHY WAS HE IN A HURRY TO MOVE ON?

Yoshio Yoda. He works at the University of Tokyo

and is the oldest of the group.

Faster! Yes! Come in.

His face is full of foam.

-Good, keep going! Come on!

-He's on the last arm! See how he's doing.

What? Why did he fall?

-He was in the foam. He got too close!

It didn't go well.

Yoda was blinded by the bubbles.

He lost his balance and fell down the final
straight.

The bubbles worked.

It's okay, we're getting better every lap.

IPEY SUYAMA CLUB MONOZYGUE CHIBIYA

Long live the Hibia Club!

Our third fighter, Suiyama, is a distinguished
former diplomat.

Pass the bubbles if you can.

We're the same age.

-Try it. Hold on. Good.

-He's determined!
-Pass the second arm.

-Don't stop! He's one of the youngest guys in the
club.

Get up! Get up and jump!

-Come on! Jump on top!

-Jump! Don't stop! You're getting close! Go!

He did it!

-He did it! He did it! He's gonna...

Come in!

GO!

-I won! Bravo to Club Hibilla!

-Look at this. In the bubble.

He won. We're all happy for him.

Grab her!

-I won! Bravo!

-They're his enemies, aren't they? Yes.

-We are his enemies. Good thing you remembered.

He managed to get past the third arm, which no one
else could do.

Finally, we have the first winner in this game.

He's an enemy, but I'm glad he got through.

Yeah, good stuff.

-You're the first winner. Really?

-Yeah. Good!

-Congratulations. Thank you.

Even the Nisikigoi, your enemies, are grateful.

Follow his example!

Make us proud, Masaru! You are a star!

Here's the club's best and youngest athlete. Will
he make it?

-I'm afraid they're gaining ground. Trouble.

-Our eyes fourteen... Here he comes!

MASARU IKENDA CLUB MONOZYGOTIC HIBIA

-I'm gonna rip! Look at him.

Let's go!

-He's young. The youngest in the club.

Go, Masaru!

-He's got rhythm. Move it...

-Whoa! He's moving too fast.

-It's like he's out of a manga. That was close.

Good, he's gonna make it.

-Club Hibia's making good moves. He'll make it.

He's got the net up.

.

That's amazing.

What a guy!

That's a great Club Hibilla. Another one made it.

-He beat us!

Don't stop! Let's go!

Tasked with continuing that winning streak, the
legendary...

Here he comes.

A player from the famous show, Sasuke.

The 56-year-old Katsumi Yamada is known as "Mr.
Sasuke",

due to his long involvement in the show.

Katsumi Yamada Mr. Sasuke

He came to Takeshi Castle carrying his famous
past.

However, he did not leave a good impression at the
Dragon God Lake.

-He'll do better here. You think so?

I've made it my goal to compete in all the games

and show you what I can do.

It's no use if I don't make it to the end.

He can't afford to play it so cool.

Yamada set out to win the title of "Lord of
Takeshi Castle".

-His story can't end here. Good luck.

CACHUMI YAMANDA Mr. SAKKE

He wants to redeem himself.

-Make sure he loses! Jump, Yamada!

He has to win.

-Calm down! He looks calm.

He looks calm.

Let's go!

f*ck it!

Jump now!

-Go! You can do it!

Bye!

I can't!

You can't get any dumber than that. What was that?

That sucks. What was he thinking?

Why do we call him "Mr. Saske"?

-What happened, Yamada?

-It can't be! Why did he fall so fast?

-Can we see it again? It was a mess.

Mr. Saske tried to jump, but he couldn't balance.

He fell without even having time to jump.

-Awesome. -Dude!

Legend, what went wrong?

-The bubbles... Yeah?

What's up?

-Everything slipped. Obviously!

That's what bubbles do.

He's unacceptable!

The legend has lost. Let's see how the next one
does.

The popular youtubers, the AUN.

Two of the four members of the group passed the
Wave.

Their physical abilities show great promise.

They'll probably win at everything.

-They're strong players. -Really.

HUNDRED - ACROBAT AUN

-I'll show you how it's done! Great!

Hey!

First up is their captain, who's had some
difficulties.

Will he be able to redeem himself?

All right!

All right!

-He's the team captain, isn't he? Yes.

He's not very good.

KANDA - ACROBAT AUN

-It's Kanda. I'll clean up for the team!

-Let's go, Kanta. Go, Kanta!

Kanda hasn't been defeated so far.

-Great! Interesting choice.

-Well done, Kanta. Good.

He's showing us new tricks.

He's very fast.

-One arm left. It'll pass.

-No... Nice!

-Well done! He did it.

.

Kanda should be their leader.

Don't say that.

-Very good! Well done, Kanta!

-He's great. Great.

-You bought it! Well done, Kanta.

It looked like a piece of cake, like you move like
that every day.

That's a short drive.

No, I don't move like that.

In the end, five people defeated the Brats

and five got the Fighting Award.

10 FIGHTERS REMAIN

Five people made it.

Let's move on to the next fortress, fearless
soldier.

Yamada's performance was dismal again.

Don't underestimate him like that.

Did he succeed at anything?

Here, he barely had time to stand before he fell.

He was terrible, wasn't he?

He's getting older.

-I'm getting mad. His body's wearing out.

Then he shouldn't fight.

He's a laughingstock.

I have a hope he'll make it.

That's why we keep giving him the Militancy Award.

Didn't you give him too many chances?

Here's one of the most notorious games,

The Devil's Kingdom.

AVOID THE DEMONS AND GET OUT OF THE LABYRINTH

There have been many variations. Today, what are
the new traps?

Well done, my warriors! You made it this far.

Do you have the guts?

Yes!

Can you continue?

Yes!

Good. Good. Look over there.

That building is the Devil's Kingdom.

Time to attack the next fortress!

Yes! [Laughing]

Oh, great!

We are in the Devil's Kingdom. We'll do the
reporting.

NAKANISHI & NASU COMEDY DUO NASHUNAKANISHI

DAMONA CAMERA

He's doing well, but that corner...

It's horrible.

-You're missing the little b*stard in there. Yes,
I am.

Get out of here!

And they throw you in the lake?

Let's see.

-I will triumph! The Rocket News guy.

Here we go.

Good luck!

GO HATTORI, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF ROCKET NEWS 24.

He is strong and very quick.

Wrong way.

-It's nobody's fault. Who was that?

GOPRO IMAGE

-Who was that? There's a stranger in there.

-What happened back there? It was an old man.

-who yelled at me. What do you mean?

I thought he was a demon and he yelled at me.

IF YOU HIT HIM, HE YELLS AT YOU.

-He started scolding me. How did it feel?

I was upset. I didn't expect this.

So he just yells? That's it?

Parkour ninjas can attack with water bombs from
above.

PARKOUR NINJAS THROW WATER BOMBS

-Ninjas are the new obstacle, right? Come on!

TOMONORI YUZAKI HAPPY ENGINEER OF UNIQUE
PRODUCTION UNITS

Nice dive.

MINA COMPAGAYASHI PRODUCER IN THE SWIMMING SECTOR

Let's go, Comaneci!

She said it with all her heart.

-Nice moves! Well done.

-She needs to run a little faster... No! Watch
out!

Nice try.

-He was on a roll, that's why he fell. Yes.

-It's a tough game. I'm gonna kick a*s!

Yeah, you are.

Nurse Nakano got the Fighting Award

for her bravery in the Swim in the Wave.

Will she win in the Devil's Kingdom?

-I remember her, she's the nurse. Yes.

AOI NAKANO - HOSPITAL

-No!

They got her right away.

Here! For your good effort.

Bye-bye!

-He threw her away like a piece of trash. Yes.

-I've got it. Say that again.

I've got it.

-He's gone! He said it so calmly.

Don't let demon attacks ruin the game!

Next up...

You're gonna run into someone

-if there are so many of them. Sure.

Cheri Yoshitake will make it!

Cheri, you're gone!

CHERI YOSHITAKE - COMEDIAN

Watch out... No!

Get out!

-It was fast. He jumped on his own.

= SYNC:SSÇÈÂÈÂ

He had power, but he was in and out in less than
four seconds.

Cherry is in a tough spot.

-He's a bum.
-Come on!

He reminds me of something...

-I'm ashamed of myself. Don't say that.

Be ashamed.

Here comes the group of female students.

-We'll do our best! The student group.

They're friends from grade school, right?

I promise I'll cross over!

MIRI HATHAWAY - STUDENT TEAM

-Go get 'em, Katomi! Go get 'em, Katomi!

-They're determined to find you. I wouldn't want
to get caught.

-No! Get out of there! Run!

-He made it! Yes, that way!

Get away!

-Keep going! Keep going! No! They got her.

They got her!

She almost made it!

Another door was left!

The worst.

-Yes! Out!

Right there.

Look at this.

The demons cornered her, but she got away.

= SYNC:SSÇÈÂÈÂ

When they finally caught her,

the finish line was two steps away.

Too bad!

How did I do? Did I make progress?

-Yes, there was one more door. Really? Only one
door?

-Yes, you were very close. Big disappointment!

When the target is a woman, Kurochan sees through
walls.

-I hear that's his special gift. That's not fair!
He sucks!

-I'm gonna beat the demons! Let's go.

IBU HANJUDA - STUDENT GROUP

-It's bad. They're too fast.

The demons move like lightning.

Your lips are turning blue.

Let's get married, now that you're a blue demon!

-No, thanks. You don't like me?

-Can I... Wait!

-He's trying to get away. Kurochan!

Why did he fall too?

Why did you pull me?

-What happened? Will you tell us what's going on?

He asked me to marry him and I pulled him down
with me.

-You jumped in the water with him? Yes.

-Will you explain what happened? Tell us.

I'll get the production mad at me again!

The next team is from Sonan.

The friendship of the mothers brought the two
families together.

You guys, see? Daddy's gonna kick a*s!

-The father is young. Very young.

-Get them! You got it!

TAKAKI SUGIYAMA FAMILY FRIEND FROM SONAN

-Good. They haven't found him yet.

-Look at this. He might make it.

-No! He was too close.

You're screwed!

The next door was the exit.

-That's right. I made a big mistake.

-I couldn't stop my momentum. I lost it.

HALF A SOUS VIDE FAMILY FRIEND FROM SONAN

I'll get revenge!

-You got it, Misato! Why is he giggling?

She's from the Sonan family.

-She's good. A good trick to avoid getting caught.

She's doing great.

No! You'll get caught!

-Good. Run! He's starting to panic!

-Get in trouble. He ran into the guy who's talking
to them!

He's the most horrible one of all.

-Don't put that thing on me! They got her!

-The old man is the scariest. Yeah.

Some random guy out of nowhere.

There goes your pretty little face.

-It was a family from Sonan! They threw her out.

You're done.

The strongest athletes get very close to the
finish line.

KOI OKAZAWA SLACKLINE CHAMPION

Even Matsumoto, the balancer, lost at this last
door.

-It was too close. No way!

-No one's ever made it. It's hard.

Maybe it's time to call upon the gods.

We'll test Icenzo, a young priest in charge of
three Shinto temples.

Will the priest or the demon come out on top?

Let's go.

YOSHIRO IKENO - SHINTO PRIEST

There he is.

He's doing very well.

-Is he fast? Will he make it? No, go around.

Wait!

-He made it. Great. Well done!

.

-Well done, priest! He knew where to go.

-Maybe it really was God's will. He was fantastic.

Very nice and very cool.

Terrible luck.

He opened a door to escape from a demon, and came
out at the end.

And barely escaped another demon coming around the
side.

He's the only one who has defeated the Devil's
Realm.

ONE WARRIOR REMAINS

-Perfect. The sole victor. Is he?

-Congratulations. Thank you. I did it.

-You were very fast. Did you have charms up your
sleeve?

However, the real challenge is getting to the
final stage.

At this rate, the army will be wiped out.

The battle was difficult.

Get him!

Damn it!

-We got him. Hold him.

The demons have captured Chief Kimura...

and froze him in carbonite.

What do we need these hilarious stories for?

-I was... Lord Wenda, after this, the army will be
in a state of chaos.

-will be forced to retreat. Right.

We have their leader, so we have the upper hand in
the battle.

You'll be well served!

I can't change characters right away. Don't make
me get into this story.

Without the chief, the army won't know which way
to go.

-Should Kimura have been in another show? No.

-That's not the reason. No.

Let's see what our virtual count has to say.

-You did a good job catching Kimura. I agree.

-We have him. Now the castle is safe.

Yes. But can we continue with the consolation
games?

We want to see more.

How about it, Mr. Momoi Kaori?

What should I say?

I don't concern myself with such trivialities...

That's a very bad imitation. Who was that?

What he's not good at, he's lousy at.

CONSOLATION GAMES - REGISTRATION

Two fortresses remain.

WITH ONE VICTORY YOU RETURN TO THE BATTLE

These games give the defeated a chance to return
to battle.

Good luck.

The first consolation game is "You Can't Get Away
With It".

-I'll do wonders. -The Rocket News.

MASANUKI SUNAKOMA EDITOR OF ROCKET NEWS

That's a positive, since it's not one of the
quizzes.

You're right. Hurry up. Hurry up.

Too slow. Like I said, too slow.

Maybe it's more than the stairs indicate.

-It's too steep. You're right.

-It's right in the middle. Let's go!

MARCO SENGOKU RESISTANCE

Although he's the leader of the Hibilla Club,

Josoy hasn't contributed to the team's success.

-Come on, captain. You got it.

TOCHITAKA HOSOY CLUB MONOZYGOSHI HIBIYA

-He did it. Good for him.

-The team will be thrilled. Yes! I'm in!

RETURN TO THE FRONT

I did it!

-Did you see how happy he is? He's back with a
vengeance.

The next consolation game is the Slime Quiz.

The quiz...

I'm gonna win, the world be damned!

Question: what color is Giant Panda's tail?

-What color is a panda's tail? White? Oh, white.

-B, black. Black or white...

-White, I'd say. And they're all the same?

MIYU KANDA - TELEPRESENCE

-It was white. Poor thing!

CORRECT ANSWER A: WHITE

-But isn't it black? No. It's white.

-Which one belongs to the canines? The chitan!

-A, the catbird or B, the jackal. She's even
dirtier.

You got it, Cheetan.

-Cheetan's back in the game. Declare yourself in.

CORRECT ANSWER B: THE JACKAL

Oddly enough, Cheetan has strong general
knowledge.

RETURN TO BATTLE

Chitan rejoins the game.

Her last consolation game is Rope of w*r.

Let's go.

-You got it. It's the Sengoku...

-What did we call them? Sengoku Resistance.

The Amares brothers.

Get them!

Ready, go!

-This could be a good match. Those two are strong.

Winner, the Takashi army.

Ready, go.

In this game, your luck depends on which opponent
you draw.

TOMOYA NAKAMURA EXECUTIVE

A weak opponent guarantees your return to the
front.

RETURN TO BATTLE

ASUKA TAKAGI LEADER OF TAKAGI BAKUFU

But there were times when the game turned out
differently.

Here he is. It's Yokokawa.

Look out! He's strong, the bodybuilder.

I feel bad. Play along, girls.

All right! All right!

-He gave them the advantage. The two girls are
going into battle.

-Let's go! Come on, you got it.

Maybe they'll make it.

-Good fight. I'm with the women.

-They didn't make it. Winner, Takeshi's army.

Liar!

MIRI HATHAWAY - STUDENT GROUP

Captain Kato is the team's last hope of staying in
the game.

-Who will he face? Go get 'em.

-Sumo wrestlers. Tough opponents.

-You got it. What...

Come on, everybody!

The whole team?

Is that possible?

They'll fight two against five.

How will it end?

They're not moving at all.

-They might make it. Let's go!

They did it.

The other guy was just sitting there watching.

RETURN TO THE FRONT

-Good for them. They are continuing in the game.
Thank you very much.

With its excellent team effort, the company
returns to the battle. Congratulations.

Well done.

Our 29 heroes head to the sixth fortress in hopes
of reaching the final battle.

29 FIGHTERS REMAIN

Next up, an old game that the audience loved.
Mushroom.

HOLD ON TO THE MUSHROOM AND LAND ON THE FLOATING
ISLAND

Let's check out how hard it is,

a warrior of the Takeshi army gave it a try.

YUKI CHIMERA TEST PLAYER, "THE GREAT ONE"

-It's cold up here.
-I went to test it.

-They made you do it? Yes, I tried it.

It's too high.

Here I go. What did you just say?

Well, so...

Are you serious? I can't even get a grip on it.

How do the others do it?

Just hold it.

-Are you serious? Hold on. There's no way I'm
doing this.

-You're supposed to test it. Sorry, I can't even
get up.

-What do we do with the apology? You should try
it.

What was that?

Honestly, I don't know why they put that video up.

If you have weak arms and a lot of weight, it's
impossible.

Is it really that hard?

We brought the mushroom to the studio.

You can't hug it with your hands, so use the rope.

-Hold it like this. You want to try?

-Be careful. Please.

That's amazing!

-I did it. You're amazing.

That was a bad day, wasn't it?

-Maybe. Today you can do it.

Get your feet wet.

I'm useless.

-Unacceptable. I can't do it.

This track is called the Mushroom.

How many fighters do you think can make it?

Leave the mushroom at the right time.

That's right.

It's that kind of game.

MUSHROOM, DIFFICULTY 90%.

KAORI IMOTO KIMURA FAN

No way.

No way.

I'll try!

It's not slippery.

HOLD ON TO THE MUSHROOM AND LAND ON THE FLOATING
ISLAND

-She's still whispering. Awesome.

I guess that's unlikely.

-Nice try. It's close.

It's a tough game.

DAI CHIRAYAMA TAXI DRIVER, MODEL, ACTOR

It's hard even when it's not spinning.

It's dangerous.

He landed with his face.

MAYA MAYA DANCE LOVER

If I catch you, I won't let you go.

-Maya. She's holding on tight.

Maybe she'll make it.

She's down. There she goes.

It's hard to stay on him once he starts spinning.

Maya, the love-seeker, fell long before the
target.

And she fell awkwardly.

I'll do what I can.

Good luck.

IMARI HIRAOKA, THE 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO HATCHED IN
THE LAKE

Good. Keep it up.

-You got it. Careful. He fell.

That was close.

You were too close.

He dropped at the right time, but the target was
further to the right.

-Indeed. Looks painful. She's flexible, though.

I'm gonna rip.

-Good luck. Shizuka!

NARRATOR: SHIZUKA KAVANAUGH

You can do it!

-It goes fast. He did it! He did it!

-No way! Does that count? Seriously?

Really?

Lord Wenda, we've put some goo on the island.

As in, you're not going to let them win.

Awesome.

Manitari, the game that's harder than it looks.

It's hard to even stand on the floating island.

Good luck, soldiers.

-How to win? It's very hard.

And now two guys from the popular YouTube channel,
AUN.

AUN ACROBATS, YOUTUBERS

I have not failed at any game.

Surprisingly, Kanda has won at every stage so far.

Will he achieve an outright victory?

On the other hand, I have failed at everything.

-I've won in the consolation games.
- Do they call you "Ryu the Phoenix"?

In those games he was like a phoenix rising from
the ashes.

May he pass this round.

He's their leader, but we may not see him for a
long time.

THE CASTLE OF TAKESHI

The sun set, and the scene was plunged into a
mysterious atmosphere.

-It's getting even harder.

First up goes Kanda, who has not failed so far.

I will not be beaten by a mushroom!

-Strong guy.
-Will he manage to dominate completely?

On him.

That makes sense, it's very difficult.

-He slipped right away. It's hard.

-It's not easy to land there._ -It looks very
slippery.

He was a little late to let go of the mushroom.

The dream of winning at all stages vanished at
once.

-It's not easy at Takeshi Castle. Come on!

Ryu, you got it!

Lean on me!

The lucky man who came back winning in two rounds
of consolation.

RIO THE PHOENIX WINNING IN TWO GAMES OF
CONSOLATION

Fantastic!

Amazing!

How did he do it?

-Unbelievable! The Phoenix!

-He did it! I didn't think anyone could do it.

Ryu!

-Great. Well done.

-Did you see that? It looks great.

The AUN phoenix has risen from the ashes again,
becoming the first

winner of the game. He'll move on to the next
stage.

HE'S GOING TO THE FINAL BATTLE AT CASTLE WENTA.

-Awesome sight.
-He did it.

-Congratulations. Thank you.

It's the first official game I've won. I'm
overjoyed.

You want to share it with someone?

With Japan...

No, with people all over the planet.

-Did you have to think about it? Why did he change
his mind?

-You go from one success to another! Yes, and I
hope to keep it up.

Matsumoto, the radiologist who beat the
Bracciarians.

Will he succeed in Manitari?

-Come in. That's right.

I'll win!

TOSHIHIRO MATSUMOTO - RADIOLOGIST

Maybe he'll succeed.

He did it.

-How? Well done!

Right on target.

How did he not slip?

-I did it! Unbelievable.

-Amazing. Amazing.

He almost slipped when he landed. But he managed
to stay in place.

-He almost fell. But he held on.

A great moment, with two winners in a row. We'll
see them in the final battle.

GOING INTO THE FINAL BATTLE AT CASTLE WENTA

What's going on here? The army is closing in on
us.

-I'm not letting them win another battle. It's
terrible.

Add those rules!

We have an extra rule.

FIRE ENGINE

With all that smoke, you can barely see the
floating island.

Don't retreat, fearless soldier! Go forward!

Why is the Count so impatient? Only two men passed
the game.

He's ruthless.

Next is Kato, the only fighter in the group of
female students who continues.

-Good luck. I'll do my best.

-You can't see the island. It's awesome.

MIRI HATHAWAY - STUDENT TEAM

-Where is it? You can't see anything.

You got it.

With all the smoke and lights, it's hard to judge
the distance.

-Too bad. How'd it go?

It was unfair, the smoke thing. I couldn't see
anything.

It was blocking visibility.

-Smoke is an exaggeration. Even after that,

the smoke machine continued to plague the army.

-Why did he come in before the students played?
Come on.

The difficulty level went up dramatically.

One by one, the fighters sank in defeat.

-It's not fair. They even turned on the lights.

Only two fighters could win.

The army has been decimated.

Look, smoke!

So close!

-How's that guy doing? Yes, him.

NO DEFEAT SO FAR. WILL HE KEEP WINNING?

Icenault, the priest who's won every game so far.

Will he conquer the Castle of Takeshi?

-He's formidable, isn't he? Yes.

I'm going!

IKEENO YOSHIRO PRIEST - NO DEFEAT SO FAR

-He lost. Yes, but only for a little while.

Too bad.

-He's got a lot of potential. Yes, indeed.

Better to fall backwards.

He fell when he should have, but he ended up in
the water.

because he had too much momentum.

-He almost lost a hair. He slipped.

But not all hope was lost.

CLUB MONOZYGOSHIBIA

Club Hibilla, classy barbers with great potential.

Their strength is their ability to analyze their
failures.

They used their analytical talents to defeat the
Bracharians.

And they even won two in a row.

They are our heroes.

This team is very effective.

Finally, we're using all of our skills.

You're wet.

These guys are the athletes, and I'm their
official supporter.

That's why I'm hoarse.

First up is Josoy, the team captain.

TOSHITAKA HOSOY, LEADER OF THE MONOZYGOTIC HIBILLA
CLUB.

-How can you stop with this kind of momentum? -I
can't.

He hit the target, but couldn't stay up.

Isn't it better to jump earlier?

Next up is Suyama, the first to win in Bracara.

-You got it. You'll make it.

-No! He didn't win this time.

You can do it, Masaru.

-Too bad. But he will. Masaru will make it.

The hope of the team

is Masaru Ikeda. Born and raised in Canada,

and speaks fluent English.

-Final stage, here I come. Masaru! Masaru!

The youngest and best player in the club. Is he
gonna make it?

He's going down.

That's awesome!

The key is to fall backwards.

-You're right. He did very well.

-How come he didn't slip? He's great.

-He did it! The Hibilla Club promises a lot.

He took too long to jump...

He did it!

I did it!

.

-He's the third to win. I did it!

Just as he was about to slip, he lifted his feet
to balance himself.

Look what he did.

He survived, and earned a spot in the final
battle.

HE MAKES IT TO THE FINAL BATTLE AT CASTLE WENTA

-Great, the last one got through. Our guy.

-Perfect. Isn't it?

The last fighter for tonight is Katsumi Yamada,
Mr. Saske.

He can put up a good fight after all.

He was hoping to win the title of "Mr. Takeshi
Castle",

but after his victory at the Border Wall, his
performance has been poor.

I keep losing, but I'm moving on with the Fighting
Award.

I hope to win and have everyone say "Bravo".

-Good luck! You can do it!

Let's go!

Mr. Saske is going into battle.

Yamada!

-Yamada, it's your last chance. He'll make it.

-I think so too. It's Mr. Saske.

-Yamada! Yamada!

Everybody's excited.

Ready.

-Yamada! Yamada!

Come on, hit the target.

Find the target.

He couldn't hold on.

-He didn't even win a single game. True.

Hit the target in the center.

It looked perfect, but...

Unfortunately, Mr. Saske slipped.

He's been in the water all day.

-Not just here. All day long. Too bad, he fell.

3 WARRIORS REMAIN

There are three warriors left, and with them we'll
go to the final battle.

We can now finish with Yamada.

We've seen his last round.

I confess

that our staff is unacceptable in measuring the
degree of difficulty.

You said they put slime on the floating island?

Lord Wenda, don't let them hear you.

It's a secret, supposedly. When I went to do the
test

the Chief of Staff was dropping something, like
this.

I can't say for sure if it was slime.

There's no doubt about it.

-Well, that leaves three warriors. Amazing.

That's who we'll be fighting in the final round.

BATTLE WITH THE LORDS - THE ARMY GETS A MILLION IF
IT WINS

Will they fight with us?

Yes, Lord Wenda. You will be in the final battle.

-All we need is three opponents. That's right.

-Yes, our staff is clever. Got it.

Shall we say hello to the virtual count before the
final battle?

-I was expecting more goo. He didn't need any
more.

-Hey, that's an earl. Wasn't the one we had
enough?

Look to win. Three warriors made it to the end.

Don't worry. No one wants to give away a million
yen.

A pep talk, Mrs. Devi?

I was playing a game called "Mushroom".

I played Sumo and Calligraphy and it all ended up
in the water.

That's how I spent my time.

The quality was terrible.

At this point, Count Takeshi is having fun making
fun of people.

Let's do our best in the final battle. Shall we
go?

Let's go win.

Without Chief Kimura, the army is at a
disadvantage.

However, the heroes are heading to the final
b*ttlefield, Castle Ueda.

And now the lord will appear.

When did you have time to break it?

He already started the destruction.

SHINYA WENTA, LORD OF THE FIRST CASTLE

You'll pay for this, you idiots.

-The lord is a little crazy. Look here.

One useless plumb bob left.

I'll throw it at their heads.

He's gone.

My lord, we have captured Chief Kimura.

I've seen a lot of stage objects in my life. This
one is not worth one.

-Don't say that. Look there. Don't say it.

Look how defenseless the three warriors are.

Idiots!

-They need to get an answer. Yes.

Tell them how you feel.

We made it this far.

-I'll fight tooth and nail. That's good.

-I will triumph in this battle! Very good.

I'll give it all!

-That's you! Excellent.

-Look at this! He's on edge.

-What do you think? We got them.

-Let's get it over with. No problem.

YABUSAME

The final battle is called "Yabusame".

HIT THE TARGET ON THE ENEMY'S CARRIER. TIE IF BOTH
HIT.

One by one, the opponents enter a carrier. The
army one moves.

They fire shots at the target on the opponent's
carrier.

The army wins if he throws his ball into the red
basket.

Takeshi's army wins if it hits the blue target.

However, if they both hit the target, it is a draw
and no points are scored.

Bring in the carriers carrying weapons and
fighters.

-I like that it's fancy.

-Very showy. Lord Wenda, you go first.

I like it. It's kind of like walking in

-in robotic armor or something. It's because it's
got a c*ck.

The first fighter.

Ryu. He returned to the front every time through
the consolation games.

He proved his athletic ability

with his victory at the challenging Manitari.

I'm going to win anyway.

We are honored that our teammate made it to the
final battle.

-Really. I'm very proud of him.

I hope he brings us victory.

The Army's goal is a hole that barely fits the
ball.

Will he hit Takeshi's army under these adverse
conditions?

RUIU VS. SHINYA WENTA

In the first round, the army is facing Ueda.

What will happen?

YABUSAME DIFFICULTY LEVEL 200%

-We're going to the final game.

WITH A SINGLE VICTORY, THE ARMY WINS THE CASH
PRIZE.

Watch out, Lord Wenda. They're tough warriors.

Leave it to me.

-All I need is one shot. Sounds good.

The first round begins.

Three,

two,

one.

Go!

-You hit him! You got him!

-You hit the target. See?

-Damn it! Okay!

THE ARMY FAILED.

Is the game over?

Winner, Lord Ueda.

VICTORY FOR THE ARMY OF TAKASHI

I don't even know what happened, it was all too
fast.

Is it too difficult?

The army's ba*ls came close to the target, but
missed.

On the other hand, Ueda failed with the first five
ba*ls,

but hit the target with the sixth and seventh.

Ryu, the first Army fighter, was defeated.

HATTA

Was it difficult?

The carrier is moving faster than I expected.

And the opponent's target is just a hair's breadth
away.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but it's set up so that our team can dominate.

It's very fast.

It all happens very quickly.

I'm going to try to have fun with it.

Next up is Matsumoto, the radiologist.

He hasn't lost a game so far.

He's the best of the best.

WITH A SINGLE VICTORY, THE ARMY WINS THE CASH
PRIZE

Yuki Himura takes over the Castle defense.

I'm getting nervous.

The pressure is greater because we have the
advantage.

MATSUMOTO VS. CHIMURA

Will the army recover?

Yabusame, round two.

-Let's go! Let's go!

Three,

two,

one.

Go!

-You got it. Good luck!

sh**t!

-I got him. You finally got him.

THE ARMY FAILED

Hooray!

VICTORY FOR THE ARMY OF TAKESHIT

-Well done, Himura. Thank you.

I was nervous that it took so long.

Himura kept aiming, but with gaps between shots.

He hit the target on the third shot, but he didn't
realize it.

and he struck again, scoring a second hit on the
fifth shot.

The Army's first shot hit the target edge to edge.

Indeed, the army fought a hard battle.

Many shots reached the enemy's net. One, in fact,
went in.

It came within an inch of the target.

-Did it hit the net? It came very close.

I just missed her.

I didn't get hit. My defense is impeccable.

We have no defensive tools.

Last up is Masaru Ikeda of the Hibilla Club.

-You wanna switch? Say "hooray" for me.

He's the youngest and best player on the team,

and he's won every battle except Dragon God Lake.

It is in him that the team now hopes.

We saw the mistakes of the other two players.

I believe in him. He's a quick learner.

What's the plan of attack?

I'm going to turn my weapon at a 90-degree angle

and fire relentlessly at the target.

-Yes, sir. Let's say our prayers.

WITH A SINGLE VICTORY, THE ARMY WINS THE PRIZE
MONEY.

In defense of the castle, Osamu Sitara.

The fate of the Castle is in my hands. I can't
afford to lose.

-No way. Absolutely.

SIKEDA AGAINST SHITARA

Will the army magically recover?

Yabusame, the last round.

-Your last round is yours, Sitara. Let's go!

-I'll be done in one shot. Easy. One shot?

Seriously? In that case, we'll give you fewer
ba*ls.

I'd rather not.

-Look to win. No way I'm losing.

-Good! Damn, I'm getting nervous.

-The last round of Yabusame is starting. Let's go!

Three,

two,

one.

-Good luck! You got it!

-sh**t! Don't stop!

-sh**t! Don't stop at all!

sh**t!

All the ba*ls are gone.

THE ARMY FAILED

-Well done. You broke him.

VICTORY FOR THE ARMY OF TAKESHI.

You hit him several times.

The army came close, but couldn't hit the
opponent's target.

Sitara, instead of a measured attack, preferred a
savage hammering.

Having received a total of eight blows, the army
was lost.

Hooray!

You were sh**ting like you were playing Godfather.

-I had to ensure our victory. It was good, though.

Victory is ours after all!

VICTORY FOR THE ARMY OF TAKESSIE

-Wonderful. It was perfect.

What a great Castle of Takeshi.

To show my gratitude, I'm going to shop for
another chainsaw from Amazon.

I want that toy in Hibia.

-They're going to redevelop the park. We should
put pressure on it.

Let's recommend it. Let's get signatures.

-Better than the outdoor gym. Let's keep it.

Unbelievable! How could they let the army get this
far?

Wenda's a p*ssy.

What? Has the chief disappeared?

I have no choice.

It's my turn to take over.

*OFFiCiAL

NEXT: THE TIGHTWADS ATTACK

The battle to take the second fortress begins.

An army of stalwart athletes and Sasuke's
contestants.

With so many victors, Takashi Castle may well
fall.

We did it!

I want to be "Lord Takashi Castle".

THE BACKDROP OF KATSUMI YAMADA'S BATTLE

HE ENCOURAGED EVERYONE MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE

Stone, scissors, paper.

HE RAISED MORALE WITH UNPARALLELED PASSION

Stone, scissors, paper. Yes!

Thank you. Thank you. Hooray!

Smile.

COLLECT MORE SOUVENIRS

HELP MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE

-Thank you. Did you make it?

Without Saske, I wouldn't be here. Thank you very
much.

BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST BENEFITS OF ANYONE
ELSE.

It sucks.

Did it appear anywhere that I'm Mr. Saske?

Oh, sh*t.

THANK YOU, MR. SASKE.
