Police | “There’s no escape, Oswald! You’re surrounded! Give up and turn yourself in!” |
Oswald | “Hmph. Like hell I’ll get caught.” |
Police | “Wha—a hot air balloon!?” |
| “Chase him! Don’t let him go!” |
Oswald | “Geez. Guess I’ll have to go into hiding for a while.” |
| “Hm? What’s that—.” |
| “A tornado!?” |
| “Kuh—.” |
| |
Izumi | (Oswald, about to get caught for serial fraud, escapes in a hot air balloon and arrives in the wonderful land of Oz...) |
Rick | “Who are you, sir?” |
Oswald | “My name is Oswa—Oz.” |
Rick | “Sir Oz... The great wizard Oz!” |
Oswald | “Wizard?” |
Rick | “You were using magic to fly through the air just moments ago!” |
Oswald | “Oh, that’s—.” |
| “...No, wait. I can go along with this.” |
Izumi | (His exchanges with Rick have really improved. He’s making perfect eye contact.) |
Oswald | “I am the Great Wizard Oz.” |
Rick | “Sir Oz, please save this country!” |
| “Wicked wizards control the territories to the east and west; they might attack this peaceful city at any moment.” |
| “Please defeat these evil wizards!” |
Izumi | (Oswald makes the citizens build a city for him; he then says he’ll cast a spell to turn it into emerald...) |
Oswald | “Now put on those glasses and open your eyes.” |
Rick | “The city is green—!?” |
Oswald | “Indeed. I have transformed it into emerald with magic. From here on out, this city shall be known as the Emerald City.” |
Citizen A | “The Emerald City...!” |
Rick | “Incredible, Sir Oz!” |
Citizen B | “Cheers for Sir Oz! Cheers for the Emerald City!” |
Oswald | “They’ll even be fooled by such a simple trick...” |
| |
Izumi | (Oswald makes everyone wear glasses and successfully fools them into thinking his trickery is magic. He begins living a life of leisure.) |
Oswald | “Man, this is heaven. The cops are probably still after me, so I guess I’ll stay here until things calm down.” |
Rick | “Sir Oz, can we please—.” |
Oswald | “...Please? What? Oh, that’s right. You said you wanted me to defeat the wicked wizard.” |
| “My stomach isn’t doing well today.” |
Rick | “Sir Oz, how about today?” |
Oswald | “My head isn’t doing well today.” |
Rick | “Sir Oz, today—.” |
Oswald | “My glasses seem to be doing poorly today.” |
| |
Rick | “Please, Sir Oz, let us go today!” |
Oswald | “Sigh... I guess I have no choice. Then please prepare, this, that, and so forth, for my journey.” |
Rick | “Yes, sir!” |
Izumi | (Oswald finally gets off his backside and departs on a journey to defeat the wicked wizards...) |
| (He plans on escaping during the journey, but Rick says he wants to become his apprentice, and follows him...) |
| (Hoping to buy some time, Oswald goes to meet the good wizards first...) |
Oswald | “Wizard of the North. I am the Great Wizard Oz.” |
Wizard of the North | “Oz? Are you a new wizard? Greetings.” |
Oswald | “My citizens asked me to depart on a journey to defeat the wizards of the east and the west. I would like to ask you for your help.” |
Wizard of the North | “My, how brave of you. I will do the little I can to assist you. Lend me your hand.” |
| “I give the Wizard of Oz the blessings of the Wizard of the North.” |
| “Now nobody can hurt you.” |
Oswald | “Nobody?” |
Wizard of the North | “Yes. However, it will have no effect against wizards more powerful than I. That is to say, it will have no effect on the wizards of the east and the west. |
Oswald | “Useless...” |
Wizard of the North | “Did you say something?” |
Oswald | “No, nothing at all. Excuse me then.” |
Izumi | (His scene with Citron-kun is also completely different from before: their exchanges and pauses are in sync.) |
| (Citron-kun has also really improved at saying his lines. He’s just as good as Chikage-san.) |
| |
Oswald | “Wizard of the South. I am the Great Wizard of Oz.” |
Wizard of the South | “You have business with me?” |
Oswald | “I’m on a journey to defeat the wizards of the east and the west. I’d like to ask you for your help.” |
Wizard of the South | “It’s got nothing to do with me.” |
Oswald | “These evil beings might hurt you one day if you leave them like this.” |
Wizard of the South | “Fine. Here, blessings for you.” |
Oswald | “What effect does this have?” |
Wizard of the South | “It’s the blessing of rain. It’ll be useful in dry weather.” |
Oswald | “Sigh. Why is everyone so useless...” |
Wizard of the South | “What was that?” |
Oswald | “No, it’s nothing. Excuse me.” |
Izumi | (Masumi-kun has learned to assert himself on stage. He’s conveying the cocky air of the Wizard of the South well.) |
| |
Oswald | “Wizard of the East. My name is Oz.” |
Wizard of the East | “What? Who are you.” |
Oswald | “I moved into the central city a little while ago. I came to deliver you a warning.” |
| “The Wizard of the West has been acting suspiciously lately. It seems he’s plotting to steal the land of the Wizard of the East.” |
Wizard of the East | “I don’t believe it. There’s no way he would betray me.” |
Oswald | “It’ll be too late by the time you find out whether or not it’s the truth. Be very careful.” |
Wizard of the East | “...I suppose I’ll strengthen my defense just in case.” |
Oswald | “I’ll stop the Wizard of the West from advancing this way at the central city.” |
Wizard of the East | “What? Do you mean that?” |
Izumi | (The Wizard of the East is suspicious of Oswald, but he is ultimately deceived by his smooth talking.) |
| (Chikage-san really shines here. Tsuzuru-kun is also doing a good job expressing the Wizard of the East’s uncertainty.) |
Rick | “Sir Oz, what were you discussing? What about defeating the Wizard of the East?” |
Oswald | “There’s no need. If we wage war, there will be many casualties. It’s best to resolve things as peacefully as possible.” |
Rick | You really are incredible, Sir Oz! |
Izumi | (Finally, they go to meet the Wizard of the West...) |
| |
Oswald | “Wizard of the West. My name is Oz. The Wizard of the East seems to be plotting an attack on this land.” |
Wizard of the West | “What?” |
| “...He does seem to be strengthening his defenses.” |
Oswald | “You can tell?” |
Wizard of the West | “I only have one eye, but as a trade-off, it can see everything.” |
Oswald | “I’ll stop the Wizard of the East from coming this way at the central city.” |
Wizard of the West | “You? For what reason?” |
Oswald | “If two powerful wizards fight one another, this entire country will be put in danger.” |
Wizard of the West | “Hmph. Well, do as you please.” |
Izumi | (The Wizard of the West is the most suspicious of Oswald... This dynamic of trying to outfox each other really suits Chikage-san and Itaru-san.) |
Oswald | “The wizards of the east and west have promised me their loyalty. From here on out, the Emerald City will be peaceful for eternity.” |
Citizen A | “Cheers for Sir Oz! Cheers for the Emerald City!” |
| |
Izumi | (Oswald wins over the people’s hearts and begins to act as their king.) |
| (He fools citizens who beg him to grant their wishes with his tricks and collects their tributes...) |
Citizen A | “The wizard looked like a giant beast.” |
Citizen B | “No, when I met him, all I saw was a giant floating head.” |
Citizen A | “He truly is a great wizard; his appearance is ever-changing.” |
Rick | “Sir Oz! Everyone in town is talking about you!” |
Oswald | “Hey, wait, you can’t come in now—.” |
Rick | “Sir Oz? Why are you holding a giant head?” |
Oswald | “Ah, well, this is....” |
Rick | “Do you need help carrying your luggage? This way, everyone—.” |
Oswald | “Stop! I get it. I’ll tell the truth. I’m getting tired of this make-believe game anyway.” |
Rick | “???” |
Oswald | “I’m not a wizard. My transforming appearance was all a lie. See—I was simply moving this head with strings.” |
Rick | “Moving the head with strings??? What do you mean???” |
Oswald | “See, like this....” |
Rick | “Wow, amazing! As expected of Sir Oz! The head is floating!” |
Oswald | “No, what I’m saying is—.” |
Rick | “Please teach me that spell one day!” |
Oswald | “...Whatever.” |
Izumi | (Oswald tries to expose his secret to Rick...) |
| (It’s proof that he’s inadvertently letting Rick into his heart. Chikage-san is expressing this change of heart....) |
| (Eventually, the Wizard of the West, who remains suspicious of Oswald, challenges him to a magical duel.) |
| (Oswald tries to use this opportunity to escape...) |
