(The crowd cheers and Katie Couric is walking onto the set)
KATIE: Hello! Hello New York City and welcome to a special edition of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: Anime Style!"
(Crowd cheers)
KATIE: Tonight, 10 of Anime's all-stars have flown here to New York for a chance to win $1,000,000, and we have some of the greats with us. Wanna meet them?
CROWD: YEAH!!!
KATIE: Okay! Well here they are!
(Crowd continues to cheer as Katie introduces the contestants.)
KATIE: First off, from Tenchi Muyo, Kiyone Makibi! From The Big O, Roger Smith! From Ranma ½, Nabiki Tendo! From Final Fantasy X, Rikku! From InuYasha, Kagome Higurashi! From Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon! Also from Tenchi Muyo, Sasami Jurai! From Dragon Ball Z, Gohan! From Outlaw Star, Gene Starwind! And also from InuYasha, Inuyasha! Give it up for our Ten Contestants!
(The crowd cheers and the dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: Let's waste no more time. Let's get right to the fastest finger question right now. The person who gets it in the fastest time will be the first to get in the hot seat and play for $1,000,000. Okay, here's the question.
(Dramatic music plays again.)
KATIE: Put these "Pokemon" characters in order of appearance. A) Brock. B) Ash. C) Misty. D) Team Rocket. You have 15 seconds, starting now.
(Dramatic music plays for 15 seconds.)
KATIE: Okay. Time's up, and the correct order is... B) Ash. C) Misty. D) Team Rocket. A) Brock. And the person to get it in the fastest time is...
RIKKU: BOO YAH!!!
KATIE: Rikku from Final Fantasy X! Come on up here! You're the first to challenge the hot seat! Rikku, welcome to "Millionaire."
RIKKU: Thank you, Katie.
KATIE: So, you've been through two of the most storied battles in Final Fantasy's history. What must have been like in the heat of battles against Sin and Vegnagun?
RIKKU: Katie, they were the hardest battles of my life. But with my girls Yunie and Paine by my side, I had fun saving the world.
KATIE: Tell me what your reaction is when people compare you to Christina Aguilera.
RIKKU: As if! I look way better than Christina Aguilera! As a matter of fact, I take that as an insult!
(The crowd starts laughing. So does Katie.)
KATIE (laughing): Let's get to the game, Rikku. There are 15 questions in all that start with $100 and end with the $1,000,000 question. If you miss a question, you lose everything. Now if you are to get the $1,000 and the $32,000 question right, you are guaranteed to leave with that much money. You also have 3 lifelines. Ask the audience, Phone A Friend, or 50/50 where we take away two of the wrong answers. Now with that, Rikku, are you ready?
RIKKU: Oh yeah!
KATIE: Crowd, are you ready?
(The crowd cheers loudly in agreement.)
KATIE: Let's play "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!"
(Dramatic music plays again.)
KATIE: For $100, the main bad guy in Final Fantasy VII, is: A) Kefka. B) X- Death. C) Sephiroth. D) Sin.
RIKKU: I am 100% sure that the answer is C) Sephiroth. Final answer.
KATIE: She's right for $100.
(Crowd cheers.)
KATIE: $200 question now, Rikku. In Dragon Ball Z, the eternal dragon's name is: A) Shenron. B) Krillin. C) Seventeen. D) Inuyasha.
INUYASHA: Well you know it's not D, Rikku!
(The crowd laughs.)
RIKKU: As much as I'm tempted to say "D", I will say A) Shenron, final answer.
KATIE: She got it right! $200.
(Crowd cheers.)
KATIE: This is for $300. In Sailor Moon, What is Rini's sailor name? A) Sailor Sun. B) Sailor Asteroid Belt. C) Sailor Earth. D) Sailor Chibi Moon.
(The crowd is laughing hysterically.)
RIKKU: Well, if my name were "Sailor Asteroid Belt", I would have Queen Serenity shot dead.
(The crowd continues to laugh.)
SAILOR MOON: I would too, Rikku.
RIKKU: But I'm not too sure about this one.
NABIKI: Think, Rikku. Which one sounds like it makes sense?
SAILOR MOON (whispering): D! D! D!
RIKKU: Thank you for letting me think, SERENA! I will go with D.
KATIE: Making it your final?
RIKKU: It's my final.
KATIE: You and Serena are right! $300.
(Crowd cheers again.)
KATIE: This for $500. Here we go. Who won the last World's Martial Arts tournament? A) Mr. Satan. B) Number 18. C) Goku. D) Majin Buu.
RIKKU: Can these get any easier, Katie? A) Mr. Satan. Final answer.
KATIE: Got it for $500!
(Crowd cheers again.)
KATIE: For a guaranteed $1,000, here it is. Who is Tai's Digimon partner? A) Renamon. B) Veemon. C) Agumon. D) Gatomon.
RIKKU: My answer is C. Final.
KATIE: Got it for $1,000!
(Dramatic music plays and the crowd cheers.)
KATIE: Rikku breezed through the first five questions, but will she have any luck the rest of the way? Stay tuned to "Millionaire, Anime Style!"
(Dramatic Music Plays and the camera cuts to a commercial for InuYasha.)
KATIE: We are back and Rikku here is an Anime guru! But those were the easy questions, it gets harder the further you get up.
RIKKU: I was afraid you were going to say that, Katie...
KAGOME: Aww, suck it up!
RIKKU: Yeah, Kagome. You're right.
KATIE: Well, if you're ready Rikku let's get back into it.
RIKKU: Like Kirsten Dunst said, Bring it on!
KATIE: You heard her! Let's resume "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!"
(Dramatic Music Plays and crowd cheers.)
KATIE: For $2,000. In Dragon Ball Z, Majin Buu kills Babidi... A) While he is still Fat Buu. B) After he becomes Super Buu. C) After he comes out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. D.) While he is Kid Buu.
RIKKU: I think I'm gonna need a drink of water on this...
(Rikku takes a swig of water, and so does Katie.)
KATIE: You still have all three lifelines, Rikku.
RIKKU: I know, I know. But I don't think I'm gonna use one because I know Paine watches a lot of DBZ.
KATIE: Wanna call her?
RIKKU: No. I think I've got this. Let me think about this a minute. For all the times I've walked in on Paine watching either DBZ or the WWE, I should know this. I know it's not D. That's too late in the series. It's not C either for the same reason. I want desperately to say A. But I'm not too sure of myself.
KATIE: Wanna chop it down to two?
RIKKU: I am guaranteed $1,000 if I get this wrong, right?
KATIE: Yep.
RIKKU: I'm gonna chance it. A) When he's Fat Buu.
KATIE: You sure you wanna do this Rikku.
RIKKU: Never been sure of anything in my life.
KATIE: So that is your...
RIKKU: Final answer.
(Dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: She's right! $2,000 is yours.
(The crowd cheers and more dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: The $4,000 question coming up right now. What is the name of the ghost who haunts Kagome and Sota in episode 12 of InuYasha? A) Buyo. B) Tsuyu. C) Mayu. D) Jakken.
RIKKU: Now, this one I know. It is definitely C) Mayu.
KATIE: Final?
RIKKU: Final.
(Dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: Right again! $4,000.
(The crowd cheers and more dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: It is now worth $8,000, and here it is. In Outlaw Star, Aisha Clan- Clan finally finds hot spring serenity in... A) A secluded hot spring. B) The men's bath. C) A subway spring. D) A volcano.
RIKKU: Again, I'm not too sure of myself, Katie. But if I know Aisha Clan- Clan like I know Aisha Clan-Clan, it would not shock me at all if the answer were D. But I'm also leaning towards A as well. I think I'm gonna use that 50/50.
KATIE: Alright. Rikku wants to use 50/50. Her first lifeline. Computer, take away two of the wrong answers.
(B and C go bye-bye.)
RIKKU (sighs): I knew it.
KATIE: You are stuck with the two you think it is. A secluded hot spring or a volcano.
RIKKU: There is no way I'm using another lifeline. I will try my hardest not to use another one. A and D. D sounds more like Aisha though.
KATIE: You're leaning towards a volcano.
RIKKU: I think the volcano sounds a lot more like Aisha. Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and say D.
KATIE: You know if you get this wrong, you will lose $3,000, and you will be back down to $1,000.
RIKKU: $1,000 is a lot of money. But I want wads. I'm sticking with it, Katie.
KATIE: I have to ask ya, Rikku. Is that your final answer?
RIKKU: It is, Katie.
(Dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: I'm sorry to inform you that you are GOING ON! She got it right for $8,000.
(Crowd cheers and more Dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: And now the $16,000 question. In Tenchi Muyo! What is the name of Ayeka and Sasami's mother? A) Funaho. B) Tsunami. C) Misaki. D) Washu.
RIKKU: It's definitely not D. And I think in that series of Tenchi Muyo, Sasami and Tsunami are the same person. And I know that Funaho is Katshuhito's mother. So by process of elimination, I will say Misaki.
KATIE: Is that your final?
RIKKU: That's my final.
(Dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: She just won $16,000!
(Crowd cheers again, and more dramatic music plays.)
KATIE: This is for $32,000, guaranteed. In Final Fanatsy VI, Sabin and Edgar's Castle runs from the Figaro Desert to where? A) Jidoor. B) Thamasa. C) Miranda. D) Kohlengen.
RIKKU: Oh, crap. This is a toughie. Ooh. Help! I want to ask the aud.
KATIE: Asking the aud, huh?
RIKKU: Asking the aud.
KATIE: Okay, audience. Rikku needs help, so with your keypads, using A,B,C or D, vote now.
(Dramatic music plays for 10 seconds.)
KATIE: Wow. Undecided. 50% say it's Miranda. 25% say Kohlengen and 25% say Thamasa.
RIKKU: For some reason, I'm not liking Miranda. It's just a gut feeling I've got.
KATIE: You're disagreeing with Miranda?
RIKKU: Something is telling me that Miranda is wrong. So you know what? I think I'm gonna use my Phone-A-Friend.
KATIE: And who are you calling?
RIKKU: My best cousin in the world, Yunie.
KATIE: Okay, let's get High Summoner Yuna on the phone.
(Dial tone)
YUNA: Yuna here.
KATIE: Hi Yuna. This is Katie Couric from "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire."
YUNA: Hi, Katie!
KATIE: I've got Rikku here and she's stuck on a question. She will read the question, and you will have 30 seconds to answer it. You ready?
YUNA: Bring it.
KATIE: Okay Rikku, the floor is yours.
RIKKU: Yunie, Sabin and Edgar's castle runs from Figaro desert to A) Jidoor. B) Thamasa. C) Miranda. D) Kohlengen.
YUNA: And I was just shouting at the TV that the audience is on crack. Remember...FOREVER RACHEL! D!
RIKKU: You sure?
YUNA: Absolutely!
RIKKU: Thanks, Yuna.
YUNA: No problem!
KATIE: Well...
RIKKU: I had a funny feeling that it wasn't Miranda, and it sealed my confidence when Yunie said Forever Rachel. D, final.
(Dramatic music plays)
KATIE: Got it for $32,000!
(Crowd Cheers and Dramatic Music Plays.)
KATIE: Well, that's all the time we have for today folks. Rikku is up to $32,000 and has no lifelines. It's down to the nitty gritty for her! So we will pick up where we left off next time, when?
RIKKU: Next Thursday after "Sailor Moon!"
KATIE: From New York, everybody! Good night!
(Crowd cheers and fades to credits...for this episode.)
