Muku | *takes a deep breath*......Well then, I'd like to start the third MANMAN Grand Prix! |
Azuma | It's gotten to the third one already, huh. |
Muku | The rules are the same as last time; all members other than the participating teams will be the judges! Each person gets one vote, and the team with the most votes wins! |
Azuma | The winning pair will, of course, receive the right to appear on TV. |
Muku | Then without further ado, our first battle is "Kachikomi[1] Season" vs "Citrun"! |
| First up is "Kachikomi Season"! |
Banri | You guys don't know us, huuh!? I'm the leader, Banri, dammit! |
Azami | I'm his companion, Azamiii! |
Banri | Together we are ――. |
| "Kachikomi Season"!! Let's have a deadly fun time!!![2] |
| Ahh, school's such a pain. |
Azami | I get you; it seriously sucks. |
Banri | Besides, I get lectured a lot even though I don't do anything. |
Azami | Me too. I get hauled in just for leaving the lights on. |
Banri | I get you. I even get scolded about how to wear my clothes or greet people. |
Azami | They've gotten mad at me for eating candy because it was over 300 yen. They're stingy about everything a person does. |
Banri | Say, could it be we're talking about the same teacher? |
Azami | Maybe. ......Though we won't say who. |
| |
Tenma | Those two just looked at Sakyo-san...... |
Itaru | They know what they're doing. |
Sakyo | You guys...... |
| |
Muku | Next is "Citrun"! |
Tsuzuru | All right......Let's go! |
Citron | Let's do our best! |
| |
Muku | The panel has decided and the winner of the first bout is ――. "Citrun"! |
Citron | We did it! |
Tsuzuru | We've cleared the first hurdle! |
Muku | Continuing on, our second battle is "Triangle Mannequin" VS "MarshMugi"! |
Misumi | Hello~. We're Triangle Mannequin! |
Yuki | Meow. |
Misumi | This is my pet cat. Cute, isn't he~. |
Yuki | That's right, purraise me meow-re~. |
Misumi | Eh, h-he spoke!? |
Yuki | I went to Japanese school and meow-stered it. |
Misumi | Wow! A cat going to Japanese school is so poignant! |
| |
Tasuku | It's surprising that Rurikawa is the funny guy and Ikaruga is the straight man. |
Homare | His responses are reminiscent of Kazunari-kun. |
Taichi | If you mention summer and cats, you think of the Summer Troupe's second play, don't you! |
Izumi | You're right! It might be a homage to that. |
| |
Yuki | I'd like to get out of here soon, meow. |
Misumi | Why!? I'm the one looking after you! |
Yuki | You snore loudly at night and breathe loudly during the day. |
Misumi | Well I'm sorry about that; then I'll try my hardest not to breathe. |
Yuki | It's too late for that meow! Bye bye, meow! |
| ...... |
Misumi | What's wrong? |
Yuki | I have to play a game event after all, so I guess I can stay here for meow. |
Misumi | Going to school and playing games; just what sort of cat are you~! |
| |
Masumi | The straight man's character isn't consistent. |
Juza | Misumi-san seems like he's playing several roles. |
Kumon | Ahaha! Yuki's amazing for just carrying on with the gags! |
Chikage | Both the straight man and the funny guy seem to be doing that. |
| |
Muku | Next is "MarshMugi"; please step forward! |
| |
Muku | The results of the second battle are ―― "MarshMugi" wins! |
Tsumugi | We did it! |
Hisoka | I'm sleepy...... |
Muku | And now for our third battle ――. |
| |
Muku | It's finally the decisive bettle! |
Azuma | "Citrun" and "MarshMugi"......This reminds you of the second grand prix, doesn't it. |
Muku | That's right! The decisive battle of the second grand prix was also between these same pairs. As you'd expect, they are both truly talented pairs. |
| This is a fated match-up......Will "MarshMugi" obtain successive wins, or will "Citrun" achieve their coveted victory ―― Let's keep watching! |
Azuma | First is "MarshMugi". Do your best. |
Tsumugi | Hello~. |
Hisoka | Hello. |
Tsumugi | This is "MarshMugi". We're in your care. |
| Hisoka-kun is going to imitate a marshmallow now, so try and guess which sort of marshmallow he's imitating. |
Hisoka | Imitate a marshmallow......? |
Tsumugi | See, there are lots of different types of marshmallow, right? |
Hisoka | Yeah......? |
Tsumugi | For instance, let me see, I'll show you an example. |
| ...... |
Hisoka | ...... |
Tsumugi | That was a small candy shop's marshmallow just then. Now it's your turn. |
Hisoka | ......I'm already lost. |
| |
Guy | Tsukioka's performance is sophisticated, isn't it. |
Omi | Haha, as expected of last time's winners. |
| |
Tsumugi | Thank you very much. |
Muku | Next is "Citrun"; please step forward! |
Tsuzuru | We're finally here. |
Citron | Tsuzuru, let's go as we usually do! |
Tsuzuru | Yeah! |
| Hello~. |
Citron | Aaaaaction! |
Tsuzuru | What's that all of a sudden. |
Citron | It's the sign for the jokes to start. |
Tsuzuru | Manzai doesn't usually have a sign like that! |
Citron | Lately, I've been thinking I'd like to appear in a drama. |
Tsuzuru | That's sudden. Well, comedians take on acting jobs too sometimes. |
Citron | Tsuzuru, please help me practice for my telescopic debut. |
Tsuzuru | Television, not telescopic.[3] Fine, what role should I play? |
Citron | I'll be the producer, so you be the talent. |
Tsuzuru | Wait, that's not a drama! Those roles make it seem like a variety show! |
| |
Sakuya | Ahaha! That's Citron-san for you! |
Izumi | The retorts are on point! |
| |
Tsuzuru | Enough already! |
| Thank you very much! |
Citron | Thank you! |
Muku | This concludes all the manzai acts! Then, judges, please cast your votes! |
| |
Muku | It's time for the results! |
| The winner is......with 8 votes to 7, it's "Citrun"! |
Citron | Tsuzuru......We finally did it! |
Tsuzuru | W-We did it, Citron-san! |
Azuma | The right to appear on television is awarded to these two. |
Manager | H-How disabboinding~......! |
Kamekichi | We won't lose next time! |
