chp 123: Genesis World Grand Prix Part II

pg01:

Scroll: Summary
Yamanobe-sensei came to us to ask us to enter the Genesis World Grand Prix
which happens once every 4 years. We accepted his request.
OP TEXT:
The calm before the storm...?
Forming a team with Captain, we flew to where the strongest Genesists gather,
Mpruin Chipepesbu Kingdom! How will this Grand Prix turn out?
Roman:
To really appreciate this chapter, please read "Genesis Generation" from Vol. 3!

Announcer:
And thus the 10th Genesis World Grand Prix will commence!

Announcer:
Before we begin, the acting General Manager of the Genesis Association,
Prince of Mpruin Chipepesbu Kingdom would like to give a few words.
Now we invite His Majesty for his opening speech.
Himeko:
Enough with all the "Gen"s...

Prince:
Er-
Ladies
and
Prince:
Gentlemen.
Yup.

Prince:
Did you know, my sister Genevieve married a man from Genova, Italy.
Prince:
He's called Geno and he sells generic medicine, which is generally expensive.

pg02:

Prince:
I think he's a genial generous gentlemanly genius.
With that, let the Genesis World Grand Prix BEGI-N!!
OP TEXT 2:
Everyone, do your best.
Himeko:
The hell is this guy talking about!

Announcer:
I shall explain the rules.
This will be a knockout tournament.

Announcer:
Here are the 16 participant countries.
Bossun:
Why do I only recognise Japan and China!
Himeko:
Are you sure Genesis is actually popular?!
Chart reads (from left):
Japan, East Cupeel, China, Nahn-ahn, Lesoppocountsland, Gajoun, South Taatam,
Mpruin Chipepesbu Kingdom, Goppah, Central Abrica, Zoolzoonlooznoo Republic, Ponzs.

Bossun:
Oh wait! One of them's a state in the US!
Chart:
State of Wyoming.
Switch:
It's the only part of America that plays Genesis.
Himeko:
Why the hell is that the only state!!

pg03:

Announcer:
And for the champions!
A silver-plated bronze medal with the word "Gold" embellished on it!
*Medal has the kanji for 'Gold'*
Himeko:
Don't make it so confusing!
Bossun:
Why the hell is it in kanji?!

Yamanobe:
Hahaha... Takahashi-kun.
Sorry about all this.
Bringing you to a weird country and all...
Captain:
It's alright, I'm enjoying this!

Yamanobe:
But you've only started Genesis just a while back, so it doesn't seem that exciting, right?
Captain:
Um...
yeah.

Captain:
But...

Announcer:
For the MVP, a golden lion brooch as proof that he is the King of Genesists!
TEXT ABOVE BOSSUN:
Whoa, that sounds kinda cool!
TEXT ABOVE HIMEKO:
I'm gonna be the MVP!
Captain:
Those three sure look fired up, don't they?

Captain:
I like people like them.
I'm glad to participate this tournament with them.

pg04:

Yamanobe:
...
Wow...
Takahashi-kun...

Yamanobe:
Takahashi-kun!
Whoa!
Yamanobe:
You'll be great! You're already hyped for Genesis!
Captain:
Se-sensei, you're overly passionate!

Announcer:
And the MVP will enjoy a year's worth of Mpruinese cuisine, such as
dried firefly damselfish sardines!
Himeko:
What kinda food is that?!

Captain:
I'll do my best!
Bossun:
Eh?
Captain suddenly became fired up!
Himeko:
We're gonna win this no matter what!

Announcer:
Thank you all for being so patient.
And without further ado!

Announcer:
The main event, a performance by KanGeni Eight!
*TL Note: Pun on Kanjani Eight, a Japanese band.*
Himeko:
The opening ceremony is way too long!
Bossun:
The hell is KanGeni Eight!

Announcer:
With the backup dancers from Genus Genea!
Himeko:
Enough already!!

pg05:

Block A
Round 1

Announcer:
The first round in Block A! Everybody's focusing on the east court!

Announcer:
Their potential remains unknown!
The first-timers from Japan!

Announcer:
On the opposite side, they have participated in every single Grand Prix. Wyoming, USA!
Himeko:
That state is way into Genesis, dammit!

Announcer:
Let the match begin!
All:
Let's have a good game!

pg06:

Captain:
B-Bossun, I'm still unfamiliar with the rules...
Bossun:
Yeah, that can't be helped.

Bossun:
Anyway, just follow our lead. You can pick up the rules along the way.
Himeko:
We can't wait to see how you'll do, Captain!
Captain:
Um, alright, I'll do my best... hope I won't be a baggage...!

Bossun:
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO, JAPAN!!
All:
YEAAAH!!

Referee:
Then, starting with Team Japan...
Please do the Warcry Dance.

Captain:
Huh?
What?

Captain:
What was that?
D-Dance?!
Himeko:
It's the Warcry Dance.
We did this before, it's the pre-match ritual.

Bossun:
HAI-HAI-HAI-HAI-

pg07:

Bossun:
Ton-ton-ton-ton-
Captain:
HUH?!!!

Bossun:
HAI-HAI-HAI-HAI-

Bossun:
Ton-ton-ton-ton-

Bossun:
HAI-HAI-HAI-HAI-
Bossun:
Ton-ton-ton-ton-

Guy 1:
Hey... That chick from Japan sure is moe.
Guy2:
Yeah...
Japanese girls sure are moe...
Box:
Thus, Captain suddenly became popular.

pg08:

Referee:
Slow Life!! (Match, start)

Bossun:
Bring it!!

Captain:
I can't be a burden to the rest...!!

Referee:
BREAAAAK!!

Captain:
Eh?
Announcer:
Lovin'(7) - Love (0)!
Bossun:
It's alright, Captain!
Captain:
Huh?!
Switch:
Just go with your instincts, Captain.

pg09:

Bossun:
I know it's hard to see the ball at first, Captain. It can't be helped
that you got a break, but at least aim for a breakthrough, okay?
Captain:
Okay.. Er, what?

Bossun:
If it looks like you can get a netting, go for it!
Captain:
Erm, sorry. I still need some time to adjust...
Referee:
Slowing Life! (Match, resume)

Captain:
Kyaa!!
Referee:
GIMME A BREAAAAK!!

Ref:
Love Generation (14) - Love (0)
Bossun:
Captain! Dodge it!
You have to either dodge it or net the ball!
Switch:
Go with your instincts, Captain.
Captain:
I don't understand any of this!! *sob*

Joanna:
Hahaha,
Is this really all the Huang offensive style of Japan has to offer?

Joanna:
Hunperand!
Captain:
... What?

pg10:

Captain:
What did she say?
Hunperand?
Captain:
The earphone didn't translate that...
Switch:
It's because that's a technical term in Genesis.

Switch:
It means "It's nothing".
Joanna:
Hahaha, I see Japan sent out some Beri (beginner) that doesn't even know the rules.


Joanna:
Looks like our only real opponent this time is East Cupeel, ahahahaha!
Bossun:
Eh?
I've seen this person somewhere... Was she in Biney's Mute Amp?!
*See chp. 96*
Switch:
Joanna MacDonald from Wyoming, USA. She's a famous Genesist.
Himeko:
Eh?
MacDonald... That means she married Andre?!
Captain:
Can we stop discussing all these trivial stuff?

Bossun:
Oi Joanna!
You know she's a beginner, so stop aiming for her all the time!
Joanna:
Ahahahaha
Pritz (I refuse).
Bossun:
The hell?!
Note on Switch's head reads Translator.

Joanna:
Isn't it natural to attack the opponent's weak point?

Guy 3:
That's right, Joanna.
But it seems mean to just attack that Beri, so let's not do that every time, alright?
Joanna:
Pritz.
Himeko:
She just refused so quickly.

pg11:

Bossun:
Don't mind her, Captain.
Himeko:
Yeah, it's not like they're impossible to beat.

Switch:
And from their way of speech, they definitely are the fodder characters.
Captain:
Huh, what?
Himeko:
Yeah, they're the type to die first in a horror movie.
Bossun:
Yep, no doubt about it.

Bossun:
We'll digest and assimilate them.
Captain:
Wait, what did you just say?

Box:
And the deathmatch continues.
Himeko:
What deathmatch?!
Box:
Team Japan was tougher than Team Wyoming expected. Both sides refused to give in...

Box:
Match point.
General Generator Generation (35) - Geneva (42)
Box:
The netting that will decide the game,
was landed by none other than

pg12:

Box:
the person who awakened the Genesist within her, Captain and her Morning Star.
Himeko:
Why does she look so cool, dammit!

Announcer:
Game set!
and much waaaaanted, Japan! //???
*Pun on game set and match*
Captain:
Huh?
Sket:
You did it, Captaaaaaain!!

Captain:
I think I've gotten used to this!
Let's keep this up for the next match!
Sket:
Suspender! (Understood)

Box:
Team Japan has entered the 2nd round!
Himeko:
The hell, East Cupeel lost?!

pg13:

Elite Four:
Fufufu, Japan, huh.
They sure are interesting.

Elite Four:
But they aren't a match for us, the Elite Four.
Elite Four:
Yeah.
The real battle is in this Block B.

Elite Four:
The outcome has already been decided.

Box:
In the Block of Death, Block B

Box:
The Elite Four (self-proclaimed) were defeated.
Himeko:
What the hell was that?!
Bossun:
Then why were they even introduced?!

Box:
After that, Team Japan
grew stronger as Captain improved.
Box:
And they advanced past the 2nd and 3rd round.

pg14:

Box:
Now, the final match!
Announcer:
Let us begin the final match: Japan vs Mpruin Chipepesbu Kingdom!

Himeko:
Our final opponent turned out to be the host country...
Switch:
They must be really good, since Genesis is their national sport.

Bossun:
Oh, we'll be fine.
Bossun:
Nothing to be afraid of.
Captain:
There's nothing to be afraid of!
Bossun:
Eh?

Captain:
Hunperand! (It's nothing)
Bossun:
Captain?!

pg15:

Bossun:
You are really fired up... using technical terms, even...
Captain:
Of course I am!
We've made it here, time to give our best!

Yamanobe:
Strategy-wise, I think you should go with the basic Dragon A formation.
Captain:
Pritz (I refuse).
Yamanobe:
Eh?!

Captain:
They are a very defensive team. I think we should go on the offense, starting
with the Falcon formation and then shifting to the Griffon.
Bossun:
Um
Right
Bossun:
That's true, but...
Switch:
Suspender!

Captain:
I'll command from the midfield.
Bossun and Himeko-chan, take both wings.
Bossun:
Eh?!
Himeko:
Suspender!
Bossun:
H-hold it, Captain!

Bossun:
Erm, aren't I the captain of this team...?
Captain:
Pritz.
Bossun:
Huh??!!!

Captain:
I'll be the captain.
Bossun:
Captain?!!!

pg16:

Captain:
HAI-HAI-HAI-HAI-
Box:
Takahashi Chiaki became the captain.

Box:
Blessed with good atheletic sense-
Captain:
Let's go, everyone!
Himeko:
Suspender!
Box:
with her passionate and serious attitude,
In this short period-

Captain:
Stardust Capture
Box:
She became the peerless, ultimate Genesist.
Bossun:
What's with that finishing move!!


pg17:

Announcer:
Game set!

Announcer:
The champions-
JAPANNNNNN!!!
All:
We did it!!!!

All:
We won, we won-!!!
All:
We're awesome!!

Himeko:
It's all thanks to Captain's effort!
Captain:
Ehhh that's not true! It's thanks to everybody!
Announcer:
And without further ado, the MVP is...

Announcer:
from Japan,

Announcer:
Chiaki Takahashi!!!
Captain:
Eh?

pg18:

Bossun:
You did it, Captain!!!
Captain:
Eh? M-Me?
Himeko:
Yeah you! That's great, Captain!

Captain:
I-
I'm so happy...

Captain:
that I get to eat dried firefly damselfish sardines!
Himeko:
Huh?
Oh yeah, I guess only you'd be happy about that...

Joanna:
Hi
Chiaki
Captain:
Joanna!

Joanna:
For calling you a Beri (beginner) just now...
I'm sorry.
Bossun:
Joanna turned out to be a nice person?!
Switch:
This scene out of a sports manga sure is pointless.

Announcer:
As proof that you are the King of Genesists, you will be presented with golden lion brooch!
Captain:
Wow!!

Captain:
I'm so glad! I'm gonna wear this even at school!
Announcer:
Finally, the special privilege for the King!

pg19:

Announcer:
You may become part of the royal family!
Captain:
Huh?

Prince:
OHHHHHH MY BRIIIIIIDEEEE!!!!
Captain:
HUH?!!!
Prince:
You will become my bride!
Captain:
What?!!

Captain:
Please hold on for a second, I don't wanna be a princess!
I want to return to Japan!
Prince:
What are you saying?! Everybody was fighting for the right to be royalty!
Captain:
I don't care!

Prince:
Fufufu, I've taken a liking to you.
I've prepared a banquet of the finest food in the country!
Prince:
Let us begin the wedding ceremony immediately!

Captain:
Pritz.
Prince:
EH?!!!!
Bossun:
Alright, let's go home.
ED TEXT:
What a Hunperand privilege...
