World Tour

Pao Pao Cafe

"Oh wow, Pao Pao Cafe!"
"I finally made it!"
"Thanks so much for the help."
"I know that my boy is here, and I wanted to surprise him."
"So I had to be discreet and disguise myself before I showed up."
"But I guess I got here too early."
"The festivities haven't started."
"Oh, wait! It's Andy!"
"(Andy) ...Still got my number, Terry."
"(Terry) Nah, this time was real close eh."
"(Andy) Hahaha! "
"(Andy leaves)"
"Terry?"
"(Terry)Oh... hey Mai."
"So both of you were here."
"(Terry) Sorry... I don't think Andy meant anything by leaving without saying goodbye. We can catch up to him. You wanna try?"
"He was telling me that he found a rad chanko stew joint here in Metro City."
"I know. He didn't mean it. "
"That's why I'm bummed out. It happens."
"So... He got better?"
"(Terry) Oh yeah. But you know... the kid's still got plenty of room to improve. And so do I."
"You two are definitely brothers, you know that?"
"Always talking about getting tougher, and I'm just chasing him. I'm always the one losing out."
"And I guess you're looking to get stronger too, right?"
"Come on, admit it. When we were fighting, you were taking a *good* look at me."
"If I piqued your interest, I can teach you all the Shiranui techniques you can handle, and a little more."
"I do need to return the favor, so?"
"Okay. Come find me in Aokigahara."
"Now don't keep a good girl waiting!"
"Bye!"

Aokigahara

"Oh, you finally made it."
"The Shiranui clan welcomes you."
"I'm guessing you didn't make this trip just to sightsee. You're here to learn Shiranui-style ninja arts."
"Good. I like it when people are looking to challenge themselves."
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Mai Shiranui, successor to the art of Shiranui-style ninjutsu."
"Better not expect me to go easy on you!"
"What's that? My outfit?"
"People love to comment on it, but it's something that has a storied history that I'm proud of."
"It was passed down to me along with the Shiranui-style. I did make some enhancements here and there, though."
"I did away with the heavy chain mail, which made it easier to move around in..."
"And it may not look like it, but it's very fire-resistant."
"But most importantly, it's cute!"
"Sure, it may be a little...fashion-focused for a ninja..."
"But a girl needs to do her job in style! Hahaha!"
"Shiranui-style ninja arts have been around since the Sengoku period in Japan."
"There are those who called us heretics. Still others say we're the ones who hunted heretics down."
"But they don't know much more than that."
"Andy and I are successors to the teachings of my Grandfather Hanzo."
"My grandfather was the sweetest man I knew..."
"But he was also unbelievably talented ninja. It was almost scary."
"He wasn't easy on Andy when he trained him."
"I remember when he first joined the dojo."
"Anyone could tell he was desperate to become stronger."
"He was just a boy, but he carried so much on his shoulders. You could see the sadness in his eyes."
"My grandfather gave everything he could to teach him what real strength was."
"And in return, Andy was focused on doing anything he could to improve."
"A little too focused, if you ask me though..."
"The only thing I didn't like about him was that he wouldn't pay enough attention to me."
"But now, we're both successors to the Shiranui style."
"My focus is on ninjutsu, and his is physical techniques."
"Between the two of us, the Shiranui-style is in good hands, if I do say so myself."
"And I know that my grandfather is cheering us on from up in heaven."
"...Or rather, our wedding, that is! Aha!"
"Do you cook your own meals?"
"I love cooking. I think I'm pretty good at it too."
"Course, I was completely hopeless when I first started."
"I remember a time back when I was little, I made rice balls for my grandfather."
"He was always so busy, he barely had time to eat, let alone cook. So I thought I'd try to help."
"I tried so, so hard. Thinking back now, I don't think a single one was any good."
"But he couldn't stop saying how good they were.He had such a big smile on his face."
"I was so used to getting in double during training, you can't imagine how happy that made me."
"His reaction made me want to get better, so I started practicing any chance I had."
"And now I'm an awesome cook!"
"I even make my own osechi for New Year's. Ever heard of it? It's traditional Japanese food."
"Andy loves it. He says mine is delicious."
"One of these days, I'll make sure to whip you up a box."
"I took a trip to Metro City recently and had a thought."
"There really are a lot of hot-headed people over there, huh?"
"All I did was ask someone directions and they whipped around and stomped over to me."
"And get this, they called me, *ME*, lazy!"
"I get trying to hurt someone's feelings, but come on!"
"They had a mean look on their face, and gestured with their feet for some reason."
"But I made sure to give them a good... and painful lesson in manners."
"I have some advice for you if you're going to stick around that place."
"Master the Shiranui-style so you can take on anyone who challenges you."
"Ever since Andy met with Terry recently, he's always playing video games in his free time."
"My guess is he played against his brother in something and lost."
"And now he's practicing to make sure that it doesn't happen again."
"Don't get the wrong idea. I have no problem with video games."
"But if he spends all of his time doing that when he's not training..."
"That cuts into *my* Andy time!"
"That Terry, always getting in the way..."
"How do I spend my free time?"
"Preparing the perfect wedding."
"...Is what I'd like to say, but actually, I enter quite a few tournaments."
"You have experience in that kind of thing, don't you?"
"One of the popular tournaments right now is called "King of Fighters.""
"Ever heard of it?"
"It's a martial arts tournament they hold in South Town."
"Some really good fighters show up. It's the perfect testing ground to see how much you've improved."
"But obviously that comes with one caveat."
"Winning's not easy."
"You have to beat Andy and his brother Terry."
"Joe Higashi, the Muay Thai champ, and Kim Kaphwan, the Taekwondo master."
"Billy Kane, the bojutsu user, and Raiden, a mammoth of a wrestler."
"Not to mention Geese and Krauser."
"There's not an easy win among them."
"But I'm not one to give up easily."
"I know you've fought against plenty of fighters yourself."
"And I guess the tournament is my own journey to test my strength."
"I fight as the successor to the Shiranui style of ninjutsu."
"But I've met plenty of women who are as tough as they come."
"You may have heard of some of them."
"Like Chun-Li. She's very famous."
"If I ever had to fight against women like that..."
"I'd win. I'd be the best of them all."
"I won't lose to anyone. Not in fighting or beauty."
"I'll even be the best at living in happiness with the person I love."
"Is that bad? What can I say, I have confidence."
"I'm the best in Japan! No, the world!"
"Ninjutsu comes in many different forms, and styles can vary wildly from each other."
"Some styles use kunai and caltrops, while others focus on hand-to-hand combat."
"I've even heard stories about techniques that can make the old turn young again."
"One thing's for certain though, the different flavors of ninjutsu make things way more interesting!"
"Most people think all ninja techniques are designed to be unorthodox and dazzle the senses. How about you?"
"The reality is that our techniques are fairly plain."
"Oh, and I'm *well* aware that my appearance may make people think otherwise."
"I know a few people who spend their time journeying to become stronger..."
"You look like that type."
"There's value in knowing what one's student has seen on their travels, too."
"I kind of want to give it a try. Would you show me the ropes?"
"Sounds like a plan! Lead the way, my disciple!"

Fête Foraine

"This place is really something! Look at all the shops, it's so festive and cute!"
"I don't know about having a fight in such a glitzy place like this..."
"But I do know that a girl like me can have a lot of fun here."
"Hehe, I'm pretty photogenic, wouldn't you say?"
"Hm...chocolate...vanilla...I can't choose! How about both?"
"Okay, say "fluffy dango"!"
"They said this place is also used for some photo shoots for models!"
"This is cute! Maybe it'd be a good souvenir."
"Whew! Yup, this place is definitely fun!"
"Training shouldn't be all about strict routines and abusing your body...you know?"
"Sometimes, you need to give your body and mind a reminder why you're training in the first place."
"See? There's always a good side to every situation!"
"Now, where to next?"
"Sounds like a plan! Lead the way, my disciple!"

The Colosseo

"I didn't know what to expect from the Colosseo, but this place is pretty cool!"
"I can almost hear the screams of ancient gladiators duking it out, all for the adoration of the audience!"
"Having a sparring session here would motivate any fighter to keep training!"
"How about it? Let's have ourselves a quick fight! Strength and honor, as they say around here!"
"Hm, do I see something running down your forehead? Why yes, it's the blood, sweat and tears of a panting martial artist!"
"See? There's always a good side to every situation! Now, where to next?"
"Sounds like a plan! Lead the way, my disciple!"

Ranger's Hut

"(Blanka-chan) I am the jungle spirit!"
"(Blanka-chan) Blanka-chan!"
"Huh? What!? Something's coming!"
"Time to show off the power of Shiranui-style ninja arts!"
"(Blanka-chan) Sorry, but I'm actually not the real Blanka-chan. But thanks for fighting with me!"
"(Blanka-chan) Here's something for you. Not everyone would've given me the time of day, but you did."
"Oh, that gift looks pretty cute... in a horrifying kind of way."
"They said it was a Blanka-Chan Doll? ...Well, it's the thought that counts, right?"
"If you don't want it, can I have it? I'll even give it to Andy as a surprise gift!"
"Thanks so much!"
"Hehe, Andy's going to love it! My Ugly Cute, I know it!"
"See? There's always a good side to every situation! Now, where to next?"
"Sounds like a plan! Lead the way, my disciple!"

Tian Hong Yuan

"Huh? What's with that hat?"
"Hm...I've seen this somewhere before. And is this a note...?"
"Ah, I get it!"
"You're a jiangshi, right!?"
"Hmm..."
"Wear something that ties into this area...?"
"I see, so this part of the trip is to learn about cultures and their way of thinking."
"Well, it doesn't hurt to try it on, I guess!"
"There's no better way to learn the way of the land than by partaking in the culture!"
"You know, I think I have a better idea of what makes you tick."
"Maybe we should head back now?"

Aokigahara

"So a journey of strength isn't all about training. There's plenty of fun to be had too."
"Huh? It was like a date?"
"Maybe you should find that special someone and go on a trip with them."
"You and I are master and student. Nothing more. Nothing less."
"...But I will admit that among the people I mentor, you're definitely a special one."
"Thank you for the special trip I had a lot of fun!"
"Now I have to give Andy his special present, hehe."
"You're from Metro City, correct?"
"Then you may be familiar with Bushinryu ninjutsu."
"It's a fighting style with a storied history, much like the Shiranui style."
"I've heard there's a Bushinryu user in Metro City with a big thing for sneakers."
"I wonder what they're like. Maybe I should pay them a visit!"
"Oh, you're going to need this technique. Attempt to use it in battle, and see how it feels."
"Interview time! How do you usually train yourself?"
"A journey to get stronger... You sound a lot like Terry."
"He'd walk in a random direction and fight anyone who he felt would be a good test."
"I've got the dojo to worry about, so I can't exactly drop everything and go travel like a vagabond."
"But I do understand the desire to test your mettle against a strong, unknown opponent."
"You should continue your journey. I have no doubt that it will make you stronger."
"Street fighters, hm. I see."
"South Town has its share of loose cannons itching for a fight."
"Sometimes they'll hold tournaments for the best fighters around."
"You may find yourself at home in South Town, in a good way, of course."
"I'll show you around town if I ever get the chance."
"Let's do some sparring, shall we?"
"Are you ready?"
"Good answer. Here I come!"
"If you ever need some help, call me. I'm happy to help you out."
"It seems like you've learned several different fighting styles."
"I've only ever used Shiranui-style ninja arts."
"I don't believe that anyone can say definitely which approach is better."
"What people can agree on is that taking the learning process seriously is vital."
"Listen to me, I'm starting to sound like a real teacher now, aren't I? Aha!"
"Look at the time! It's quarter-past time for you to learn a new technique!"
"I can see you're starving for something cool. Then let me teach you this technique."
"Ready to do it?"
"I knew we were on the same wavelength! Show me what you've learned!"
"Nice to see what you're capable of!"
"I heard people get pretty emotional when they teach someone, and eventually that person surpasses them."
"My grandfather must have felt the same way when he was teaching me."
"So now that you've had a sampling of Shiranui-style ninja arts, what do you think about it?"
"Aw, my cute-as-a-kitty pupil is saying all the right things. But you're absolutely right. It's powerful indeed!"
"But that power only comes through proper training!
"Hehe, you're observant!"
"I always ensure that every strike, every swing of my hips is elegant and beautiful, like I'm dancing."
"One time I had a group of kids come into the dojo, wanting to learn how to defend themselves."
"But they didn't take it seriously. They just wanted to look cool like Andy does."
"Most of them gave up pretty quickly."
"Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't kick them out. They weren't willing to put in the effort, that's all."
"A few stuck around, though. They even learned quite a bit."
"But here's the lesson that you should learn."
"Your reasons for starting something don't matter. Appearance, coolness factor, it's all fine."
"What matters is being able to stick with it and learn something regardless of the reason you started."
"Now that you know what I mean... Get with it! C'mon, time for practice!"
"Hmmm... I get the feeling that you want to tangle with me...Know what I mean?"
"Perfect! Bring it on!"
"Mmm, you're not quite there. Good luck next time!"
"Good fight! I may have to start taking you seriously soon."
"Do you know what's just as important as training? Getting plenty of rest."
"Some people just can't help but work even when they're taking a break, though."
"Andy's like that. I'll be sitting, reading a book..."
"Then he'll jump out of his chair and start doing push-ups."
"He really does work too hard."
"Some people get on me for my costume. They think it's pointless in a real fight."
"But I don't see a problem with having a favorite outfit that gets you in the right mindset for a fight."
"Plenty of fighters have their favorite setups. One guy I know can't fight without his hat."
"And there's another guy who only wears a pair of little shorts and nothing else! Do you have anything like that?"
"Kung fu, boxing, Taekwondo, wrestling, bojutsu..."
"I've encountered my fair share of fighting styles, but I've never been defeated by any of them."
"It makes sense though, since I'm the greatest Shiranui-style fighter in the world! Hahaha!"
"You're doing great, but I think it's time to add a bit more spice to your repertoire."
"Observation is also good practice. Perhaps I could show you some Shiranui techniques in a real fight."
"Call me whenever you find a good opportunity. I'll put on a show that'll blow your mind!"
"The first kanji character in the word "ninja" can be read as "shinobu.""
"Do you know what it means?"
"Correct. It means to hide or conceal yourself."
"...What's with that look?"
"I get it. You're thinking how my outfit would make it hard for any ninja to conceal themselves."
"Exactly. It can mean to endure something difficult or painful."
"True ninjutsu is the result of enduring adversities. Some are visible, but most are hidden."
"Training demands that you endure, endure, and endure some more."
"By refusing to quit, these accumulated experiences will make your skills blossom into something great."
"I may stand out compared to other ninjas because of my looks and how I dress..."
"But that's because I've blossomed into greatness. Remember that!"
"I can't believe I'm already teaching you this one! Time sure does fly."
"Come on! Give it to me!"
(Answer "no") "Aw, you're my student! There's no need to hold back!"
"Come on! Give it to me!"
(Answer "yes") Good! Great job!"
"I know you've been coming here for quite a while now..."
"But not many people actually know how to find this place. It's completely hidden within the Aokigahara forest."
"You won't see any tourists or climbers stumbling across the dojo by mistake."
"Though what else would you expect from a place where ninjas live, am I right?"
"I've fought a lot of strong people."
"But it feels like goldilo -- I mean, Terry, is on a different level altogether."
"I know he doesn't look like he takes things seriously, but his desire for strength has never wavered."
"I understand why Andy tries so much to be like him. Even if I do get a little jealous sometimes."
"Ninja master? You mean me?"
"I guess if you think about it that way, that *is* what I am..."
"I'm sure you know plenty of other ninja masters. Just call me Mai like you always do."
"So it's finally time..."
"You know exactly what you have to do!"
"Incredible!"
"You did great. There's nothing left for me to teach you."
"You're ready to go out in the world as a true user of Shiranui-style ninja arts!"

I'll take it off your hands then...It's the thought that counts. Thank you." (Giving a gift to Mai)
"This tape.. You know my taste in music then, huh? A demo tape with no name and no title...I'll give it a listen what I get a bit of time. Thank you." (Reaction to Heavy Metal Demo Tape)
"You found another? I gave the first one a try, but it wasn't quite my thing. But you never know what you'll get with these." (Reaction to Heavy Metal Demo Tape)

The present itself is nice, but you knowing what I'd like makes me feel much happier! Thank you. I'll take good care of it." (Reaction to Oriental Hairpin)
