AnimeZing Race: Leg 4

Previously in the AZR, six teams set out in Hanshin Republic and overcame challenges. Teams chose between two arts and some struggled serving okonomiyaki during roadblock. In the end, DN found themselves eliminated from the race. Five teams remain, who will be the next to be eliminated?

This is Hanshin and the third pit stop. The five teams must leave Hanshin twelve hours after they reached pit stop for a mandatory rest period. Kenpachi and Yachiru who first arrived at 3pm will depart at 3am.

"Using the gem, go to Edonis and find the Fairy Park." They found it in a map and got there in less than a minute. "Hours of operation: 10:00 am – 12:00 mn." Yachiru read from a sign.

Loveless and Furuba arrived at Edonis and hired a cab to get to Fairy Park.

Ranma1/2, as usual, jumped over things and arrived while the other teams are waiting by the gate.

Gravitation arrived after Yuki's 'gentle' persuasion with one of K-san's gun after the cab driver got them lost. They arrived as the gates were being opened. Each of their Mokonas spit out their clue as soon as they entered the park.

"Roadblock: Who's game for everything?" Everyone read.

A roadblock is a task that only one person may perform. In this roadblock, that person must finish an obstacle course through a section of the park, ride all the attraction and finish the arcade games.

Yachiru, Ritsuka, Ranma, Yuki and Yuki2 stepped up and received a section map and stamp book.

Everybody went through the rides easily, some ahead of the others due to their 'special' abilities. There were six attractions in total. At the arcade, Yuki finished easily especially the gun games; same with Yuki2.

"Go to the water park. Show your stamp book to get your next clue." Shuichi read. "That was unfair, I get bad roadblocks and you get the good ones." Shuichi complained while Yuki checked the park directory for the water park.

Ritsuka had problems regarding his height but arrived third at the photo sticker station for the last requirement. Ranma should have finished earlier but was distracted when he encountered a few lone cats in the park. Yachiru was last; her only excuse is that she hasn't seen video games before much more play it.

Gravitation arrived at the water park and received the clue. "Detour." Yuki read.

A detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this detour, teams must chose between Work or Play. In Work, teams need to participate in a dolphin show 30 minutes long. This can only be done one time at a time. In Play, teams will need to complete the water park section of the stamp book by riding all the rides indicated.

Shuichi chose Play to make up for the roadblock. They easily finished since there's no queue at each ride. The clue came out of Mokona's mouth after they got off the last ride.

"Go to Dream Capsule, the next pit stop. Give Chitose your stamp book to receive a pass for the next leg."

They found the Dream Capsules and arrived first.

Furuba, Loveless and Ranma chose Play and went on their separate ways. Loveless finished a few minutes ahead while Furuba was caught in a queue to the last ride.

Bleach seeing that queues are starting to grow, chose Work.

Ranma1/2 chose Play in hopes of not getting too wet but if Ranma turns to a girl they can sneak using hot water in between rides. They fell behind from the two other teams because they're sneaking around. Halfway through bribing people to get in front of the line and the 'trips', Ranma used up his supply of hot water and went in search for more. At some point Ranma run into Kyou in her hurry to get some hot water, ending up with an orange cat on her lap. After a few tense moments, Yuki2 grabbed the cat while Akane dragged Ranma the other way.

'They found our secret.' Were on each of the members' mind as Ranma used some of the newly acquired hot water and Kyou turned back to his original form.

Loveless arrived second while Furuba came in third place.

Bleach finished the show and was heading to the pitsop when Ranma1/2 got off their last ride. 'Anything goes' martial arts is no match with the shinigami's shunpo, eliminating Ranma1/2.
