Episode 1: Madain Sari, Gaia
---ROUTE---
- Board the airship, Hilda Garde, and fly to the kingdom of Lindblum in Gaia. Once there, choose any of these marked vehicles then drive yourselves to Gizamaluke's Grotto. It is there, you'll find your next clue.
:: 'Sakura asks Tomoyo if she would like to form an alliance with some other teams…'
"Tomoyo, don't you think that we should form an alliance with, let's say Jigen and Lupin, since they're both fast and strong people?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not so sure about that… They could just abandon us any minute. How bout the other kids like us? Yoh and Horo seem to be very friendly.." said Tomoyo
---ROUTE---
- Go to Qu's Marsh which is north of the Dragon's Gate. Find a person named Quina, and he/she will give the next clue.
---ROADBLOCK :: Frogs and Oglops---
- A Roadblock is a task that only one person may perform. In this Roadblock, that person must search over 60 frogs and 40 Oglops with a Red Ribbon on it. It is up to them to select the animal of their choice, frog or oglop. There are only 30 frogs and 10 oglops with ribbons on them.
:: "Ewww. Frogs! Kaji, you could do this right?" said Ayu. "Erm, yea sure." Kaji said while being grossed out. Ayu went to see Vegeta & Bulma and asked, "Um, hey you guys. Which one of you will do the roadblock? "
:: Bulma said, "I think I'll let my husband do this one." Vegeta then whispered to his wife. "Honey, how many times have I told you not to talk to shoujo anime characters?"
An angry Ayu exclaimed, "What's wrong with being a Shoujo anime character?! The nerve of you to say that when you yourself had an intimate relationship with one!"
:: Bulma is shocked and said, "I beg your pardon! My husband did not have any affair whatsoever behind my back!" Ayu said, "Oh really. Vegeta, do you remember the girls from SailorMoon? The DragonMoon thingy? Hmmm…?" "How d-… Wha-… Why you!" Vegeta shouted while turning into a Super Saiyan.
---ROUTE---
- After completing the task, travel by Gargant (a large insect), and make your way to Treno. Once there, they must search for a fountain, and search for some coins, known as Stellazios with the symbol of Gemini engraved on it. Once you've acquired the stellazio, search around Treno to find a woman by the name of Queen Stella, and give her the coin.
---ROUTE---
- Afterward, go all the way back to Lindblum and go to Alexandria. A knight will give you the clue at the castle's gates.
---DETOUR :: Salesman or Theatre Man---
- A Detour is a choice between 2 tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this detour, teams must choose between Salesman or Theatre Man. In Salesman, teams must go to a pickle shop and sell 40 pickles which costs 5 Gil each. There's nothing confusing about the task, but forcing people to buy pickles could take a while. In Theatre Man, teams must see a play by the Tantalus Theatre Group. After the show, they must answer a series of questions regarding the play they have just seen. There's nothing exhausting about the task and remembering the scenarios could be easy, but watching the play consumes a lot of time.
:: "Akane were doing the Salesman thing! I think it's much easier." Ranma suggested. "Oh, okay then. The clue says that we should find an old lady selling pickles." said Akane.
:: When they started selling, a man carrying an aquarium full of lobsters bought some pickles from them…but…Ranma accidentally slipped on the guy's toe and dropped the glass aquarium. Cold water gushed out from the tank and splashed over Ranma…. The man was amazed by Ranma's sexy body and bought all 40 pickles. Ranma and Akane are currently 1st in line thanks to the guy.
---ROUTE---
- Travel by any means necessary to the Iifa Tree. You will receive your next clue at the tree's roots.
---ROUTE---
- Go to the PitStop, the Eidolon Wall in Madain Sari.
---PITSTOP :: The Eidolon Wall---
- This is the Eidolon Wall, the wall with ancient scriptures about the legendary guardians known as Eidolons. This is the first pitstop in the Amazing Race: Anime. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.
:: Ranma and Akane were the first to step on the mat and… "Ranma & Akane, you're the first team to arrive. However, the rules clearly state that application forms should be valid at all times. Since Ranma wrote Male in the Gender field and he is currently a woman, it is considered an act of Perjury. This is a punishable offense and results to an automatic disqualification. I'm sorry to tell you that you've both been eliminated from the race.
