Previously on Sumo Girl.
Sumo fan Hojo Gozen is allergic to almost
everything,
so her inventor father built her a robot
cat helper, Tora, and a bubble suit to
protect her.
Then Hojo's father went missing just as the
gangster Shikosha
came looking for him and the statue controlling
Gollum King and sidekick Orthi came to claim
the bubble suit.
Tora, however,
sacrificed itself and allowed Hojo to get away.
Now, the malfunctioning Tora has returned from its
watery grave, neutralized Shikosha,
and chosen the new name, Hell Kitty.
Nearby, Hojo has formed a temporary alliance with
the living trophy, Orthi,
and they're about to arrive at the building
where her father works.
Meanwhile, the recuperating Gollum King, with unsolicited
assistance from the Petrapebble people, searches Osaka for
his missing minion, Orthi.
Oh, how much longer? Shh. The golem king's
the one doing all the walking. Yeah. Yeah.
We're all comfy and cozy in this hood
of his.
Well,
I soaked up too much moisture and I
need a sprinkle.
Me too. Me too. Me three.
Can we go a little faster?
I weigh
seven hundred
earth
kilograms. No.
I cannot go
faster.
What about the eye thing?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a
good point. He's got a point there. Can't
you do that?
Can't you do that?
You know, where you look like a zombie
with your mouth open wide and you're drooling
all over the ground.
I'm
zombie king.
I'm looking for a statue's
eyes.
Yeah. That's it. That's the one.
Yeah. Yeah. Like that.
Oh, yeah.
That's funny. That's a good impression
of all of that. That's just great. Oh,
that's gold right there, comedy gold.
Yes. Yes. That's it.
Can't you look through queen Orthy's eyes and
see where she is?
I
already
tried
hours ago
but
all my strength
had not returned.
Perhaps
if
I ate
a few more rocks.
Oh, we can wait. We can wait. Don't
don't worry about us. We're we're doing fine.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're doing great here. I
mean, I'm fine. I'm I'm wonderful.
Enjoying the weather. I mean, it's perfect outside.
Look. Look at the I mean, it's great.
There's not even a chance of rain.
There's sun everywhere. Look at that bird. Look
at those flowers. Look. There's a monkey in
the tree. What a nice monkey.
He's a very happy monkey.
Pace yourself big god. Take your
time. Smell the cherry blossoms.
Well,
I don't need to sprinkle anymore.
Me too.
Way number three.
Alas.
Perhaps
you are correct.
Perhaps I
have recovered enough power
to try
one more time.
Now
be
still
and
be quiet.
Where are you,
little
worthy?
Thankety thank you, bubble bubble girl, for letting
Orthy ride on your shoulder. Orthy's wings were
getting tired, so she's very grateful.
Police are looking for us
so we can have you fled over the
plains like a yosee.
Oh. Orthi wholeheartedly
agrees.
Surely, surely I do. But,
what do you say? Little magic people with
the wings.
Fairly.
Orthy is not a Majakno.
And Orthy is not a Fairly.
Orthy
is an Orthy. Okay. Okay. Just stop
yelling.
Make it just building.
Where daddy walk is around the corner. Oh.
Orthy cannot wait till the mecca.
The the building your girl's daddy works at.
Shh. It sound like Paulie is already there.
Just
try be quiet
and let me look around corner. Okay?
K. Oh, Orice will.
How kiss someone so small,
be so loud?
They didn't
Listen.
I'm going to keep
cover your mouth
until you
stop talking.
Oh, no.
What is it?
My entire building
is and it disappear.
Sumo girl number four,
Kachi Nokori,
the winner who remains
by JS Earls.
Dispose. There's nothing to say here. Dispose.
The whole thing.
Hakone.
The whole thing.
It's Hakone.
Well,
maybe, baby. It just went for a walk.
Buildings?
Don't go for walks.
Not in real world.
If buildings go for walks in my world.
Your world is weird. Well, your world is
is
is whatever is hoarse and weird.
We
have to stop arguing and find out what
happened to daddy's building.
Now you have me doing it.
How high can you fly?
Oh, or you can fly high, high, high
in the sky. Just you watch me.
No. Don't.
I didn't tell you.
Kayo.
Now
let me see.
Well,
that's quirky jerky.
Yo Yo's daddy's building space is all wibbly
wobbly.
Maybe
maybe or if he looks a little closer,
I'll be able to
now she disappear?
Full study.
Now home.
Maybe.
Maybe they gone forever.
Maybe not. Maybe like a space warm hole
or something.
Maybe daddy alive in there.
I have to find out. We're gonna need
a bigger bubble.
Bubble voo.
Now I can bounce over those.
Let's
do
it. Hey, girl. You, you stop right now.
Get her before she's
daddy building.
Everything look like origami,
even you.
You too do.
Dorothy thinks it's awesome sauce apple sauce.
Well, I couldn't agree with you more little,
Dorothy.
And hello Miss Hojo.
Welcome to
Aikido.
He's called the keeper and he's super duper
pooper cool. Why does he look like a
currant?
Well, because
Kirans are super duper,
what Orothy said.
What's
a Kirin?
One sec. I got it written right here
under my hoof.
Hard to read in this polygon
dementia.
Oh, yeah. That's right.
The Kirin is a deer shaped dragon with
an ox tail and the horn of a
unicorn curved backwards.
That's you.
I reckon it is.
Now, Miss Hojo, if you'll kindly take a
gander over yonder, you'll see a door.
That other door leads to level one of
your game.
Squeak!
Orthy loves games. Orthy loves games. Orthy loves
games.
I don't wanna play games. I just wanna
find daddy.
For y'all, those two things
sort of go hand in hand.
You see, if y'all win my games, your
father is your reward.
But if y'all lose,
well,
let's just say that y'all don't wanna lose.
You know, your dad is a smart guy,
really smart. So smart he figured out some
things he should've left alone, like
how to get to this here polyhedral pocket
dimension.
When he did that he broke some rules.
Lots of them. And
we multidimensional
folk have some serious punishments for people breaking
set rules.
Now, we know your daddy's a good guy
and he didn't mean to break those rules.
Heck, he didn't even know they existed.
So
I talked to the others
and into this little
contest here.
And I said I'd make it hard but
fair.
It took some convincing, but eventually
they saw it my way.
What? I have to do.
We.
You and Orthy.
You're a team. Girl power and all that.
Yay.
Now, there's three levels. Each level, there's a
hidden paper with a handprint
and a signature like this.
TIGATA.
So much as an autograph,
handprint.
Or a hoofprint
like this one, see? It says the keeper.
All y'all gals gotta do is find the
papers before your opponents do. S- Strangers?
If either of y'all find the paper before
they do, the next door will appear. And
you wanna go through that door to get
to the next level. If you make it
through all three levels, then the last door
leads to Daddy!
Let's do this.
That's fine, mister the keeper.
I truly hope y'all find a way to
win,
and your world may depend on it.
Ote, be careful.
We not know who
or what
our foe is.
I'll source the grass and bottom halves of
trees for the paper. You
search the top half
in the branches and leaves. Okay?
K o.
Let's go shave Yo Yo's daddy o.
Excuse me, but
why are we all whispering?
Oh,
is there
a monster
in these woods?
Squeak.
You're the monster in the woods.
Oh, no. No. No. No. I'm a poo
bug, a bugbear,
a barbarian.
But I assure you that I am no
monster.
You look like a monster.
Golden King looks like a mobster too. But
deep deep deep deep deep deep deep
deep down,
he's still lumpy, but he's
nice
lumpy.
Oh, well, he sounds like a wonderful fellow.
Then you both stay here and I go
to find people.
I am not a bug.
That would be bugbear.
Don't forget the bear part.
Although,
I do rather like things
bugs make. I like honey.
Honey.
Oh, how I would like some honey, oh,
for my rumbly
tummy.
I don't see any bees,
but maybe I will find some honey in
these trees.
A bee is in the trees and honey
and the bees.
I now see the people
anywhere.
Or do not find it either.
Nope. Nope. Nope. We look everywhere.
It not like there's a 100 acres.
Where can it
be?
Why are you pointy pointing at PoohBug?
Is that the sumo paper?
It's almost stuck on the Pooh Bog's back.
I'm going to distract him.
You
fly around behind him and get paper off
his back. Thrill powder.
Hey, mister poobog.
You know how to sumo, Vassal?
Well, I do know how to wrestle,
but I'm afraid I don't know a sumo.
I will teach you.
Okay.
Well, I might as well. I haven't found
any honey.
All that
all that,
all that other thing I was supposed to
be looking for. Now what was it?
First, we draw a circle on the ground.
Oh, that oh, that looks rather nice. But
shouldn't we wait for your friend to join
us?
She's here. I don't see anything.
Where is she? I don't
Dorothy has it. Die.
Oh, bother.
Oh, that's right. It was a piece of
paper I was supposed to find.
Oh, that stings.
We're very sorry for kicking you, poo bug.
Yes.
Orty and Yo Yo are very, very sorry,
mister Buggy Wuggy Bear. Oh, that's quite alright.
My very little brain wasn't thinking the things
it should have been thinking.
You sweet girls deserve it.
And if I'm not mistaken,
I believe that your next door has appeared
behind you.
Look. Look. Yo yo. Adore.
I see it. I just
even in this weird origami vase,
this look exactly like a tachata
I make when I was little
with daddy.
Let's go save him.
Goodbye,
a toodleloo.
Now, let's see if I can find some
honey.
This
is the cruelest kitchen
ever.
Torta san would love this place.
They cook everything
itself.
Definitely better than the bus food.
This is a Huffle kitchen,
not our opponent on this level.
That keeper fella must think he is a
really clever throwin' alien
sugarbaker
in this cockamamie kitchen. I may come from
a rather long line of legendary chefs, but
I am not one of them.
I'm not a good cook either,
but that is how my mother was. Then
that is something we have in common, darling.
Aileen Sugar Bacon, bard extraordinaire.
And who do I have the pleasure of
competing against today?
Orthy is
Orthy, my bard lard. And this is Yo
Yo, the wonderful
sumo girl. A pleasure to meet you both.
And now that the pleasantries are out of
the way, but shall we begin?
Ready,
bet, grow.
Blue tech pots and pans on that side.
I'll check this side.
Did you find it?
No.
Only place we didn't know, look. It's a
bookshelf of cookbooks.
Me and Elliot, but
she woke it up before us.
Not if I dissect her. Not if I
dissect her. Not if I dissect her. What
do you have in mind, Auti?
Darling, please do not tell me one of
you fine upstanding women just threw cookie dough
at me.
So it was you, my little friend.
Oh, no. You didn't.
Food
flight.
It has to be here. No else it
can be.
My mother's car park. But how?
I found it.
Oops. Sorry.
Well, aren't you the clever little girls?
Well done.
Well done indeed.
Let's grow, grow, grow.
This look little like photos I see of
inside
of Osaka Castle.
But
I now remember so many soups
of some of our armor on display.
That paper differently
looks definite from the smothered one. It's my
mother's handprint and
her name, but
she died and tsunami long time ago.
I'm so sorry, Lee Yo Yo. It's okay.
I can save mom,
but
I can save daddy.
Who's your daddy?
That's very rude, mister Scaredy Knight.
Please forgive my friend Orbog here. He is
still
learning the ways of human humor,
if you can call it that.
Orbog?
Poor bug tell us about you. You're not
so scary.
Well, who's not so
so
buggy?
Why do you call bugbears?
Look more like cat bears if you ask
me.
Although he doesn't always
act like it.
Orvog is a respectable
paladin,
as am I. Gareth,
the Dragonborn
paladin,
at your service.
The Dim Pals are gonna help. No.
That's not,
entirely what I meant.
And it's
Paladins,
not
dim pals.
No, Orthie.
They're not gonna help us.
Neither are these suits of samurai armor that
had just come alive. Magic armor?
That's not fair. My magic doesn't work here.
Neither does mine. Just use your sword.
Be Big Catfish. Head upstairs.
Oh, check here.
Crill powder.
There are too many of them.
We don't want the girl to look anywhere
down here.
Agreed, Orbog.
And several are heading up the stairs.
Perhaps
perhaps the golden fey was correct.
Maybe these
animated suits of armor
are their competitors,
and we
were meant to be their allies.
We are Paladins, after all.
Better to die true
than to live a lie.
I read that on a carriage sticker.
Works for me.
I'll head upstairs and assist the little one.
I think Corti's coming to us
and bringing friends.
Armor lance.
Don't pass.
Not upstairs. Nope. Nope. Nope.
You girls,
search this level.
Orbog and I,
we will hold them off as long as
we are able.
Now go.
Tomo, Ababato.
Best guide, Jinkaus.
Mine swore to Valar.
Heart knowing only virtue.
Blade defending the helpless.
Hand upholding the weak. Mouth speaking only truth.
I'm doing the wicked.
You do really say that now.
Other much?
That actually make a sense. You're learning very
well.
Solo fairy guile.
Now
if I were less a Tagata,
where would I
the portrait.
It is a very nice painting.
No. No. No. No. No. It's a daddy.
And a painting of my father,
and it's the same size as the Tagata
Papers we find.
You're right, Yo Yo. It's the past paper.
Oh, no. No. No.
Clumsy Orthy plopped it.
It's a it's a folding itself into a
origami dragon
and flying.
Now other takatas are doing the same thing
and flying after it.
Follow them. Don't let them get away.
Do we have to keep howling them?
O Orthy doesn't like scary dung hens.
I do not know Osaka Castle even have
a dungeon, but I can't lose them.
Then Orthy will be Rave,
just like Yo Yo.
Okay.
We're almost at bottom.
Be careful.
Anything can be downhill.
Hello?
Ujou?
I I I is that you?
T
daddy? Daddy.
