Hot Summer Fete! Eating Bonanza! - Chapter 6: Play Off! Sum and Substance! - Episode 1

The final round commences, and Kolulu steps into the arena ready to win for herself and for Redluck. She warns Mash that she isn't the same person she was the day before, confident in the training she received. The food for the last round is lumber jelly dogs, a seafood version of the classic hot dog. As an experienced competitive eater who's eaten plenty of hot dogs, Mash believes his victory is secured.

Day three finally begins.

Spectators pack into the stadium, every person eager to catch the final showdown.

Announcer: Today's the day! Who's ready to witness an epic conclusion to an epic contest!

Announcer: And what a contest it's been! There were tears, cheers, and, oh, the atmosphere! Enough to rival the competitions of yesteryear!

Announcer: The sweat and tears shed these three days will go down in history!

Announcer: But whose name will be the one celebrated in the history books—the one to overcome the final challenge?

Announcer: We're about to find out, folks!

Announcer: It's time. Let's bring our contestants in!

Announcer: First, the dark horse who stampeded in with an explosive appetite!

Announcer: Give it up for Amira!

Amira: I'm going to eat the most. Then I'll become famous.

Vyrn: Amira! Show us what your appetite's made of!

Announcer: The force behind her bite definitely makes her a competitor to watch out for!

Announcer: But will that force be enough to carry her through the challenge ahead? We'll find out soon enough, folks!

Announcer: Next up, we've got a small warrior packed with resilience, persistence, and a will of steel!

Announcer: Let's give a warm welcome to Kolulu!

Kolulu: Whew...

Io: Kolulu! I know you've got this!

Redluck: No matter how it ends, this is it! Show us the results of your training, Kolulu!

Kolulu: (Io, Master... I can hear everyone's support for me clearly.)

Kolulu: (For all the people who believe in me... For the sake of Master's dream...)

Kolulu: I shall claim the title of champion!

Announcer: She knocked our socks off with her amazing comeback yesterday!

Announcer: And don't be fooled by her size, folks! She can easily outeat you or me—maybe she'll even outeat her opponents today!

Announcer: Last but not least, we've got our candidate voted most likely to stir up a storm and snatch the victory!

Announcer: You all know his name! It's the one, the only...

Announcer: Mash the Smasher!

Mash: Raaaah! This competition's miiineee!

Mash Fans: Mash! Mash! Mash!

Announcer: And the crowd goes wiiiild! Can you feel the love?

Announcer: His popularity isn't just for show! Will he be the one to claim his place in the competitive eating world?

Mash: Oho? Brave of you to show up.

Kolulu: ...

The two competitors lock gazes, neither surrendering to the other.

Mash: You've got spunk. I'll admit that much. But make no mistake: ya don't stand a chance.

Mash: Watch and learn how a pro does it, brat! Gahaha!

Kolulu: I'm not the same person I was twenty-four hours ago!

Kolulu: Underestimate me and you'll regret it!

Amira: The one who doesn't stand a chance is you, old man. I'm going to win.

Mash: Hah, you too? You brats sure are cocky!

Mash: Fine by me! I'll just have to give you a taste of reality!

Mash: Hey, announcer guy. Get this thing started, will ya? I'm sure we're all tired of waiting.

Announcer: R-right, of course!

Announcer: You heard him, folks! Let's get today's dish on the table!

Announcer: I hope you're all ready for a great spin on a summer classic...

Announcer: Lumber jelly dogs!

Announcer: An eating competition just isn't complete without a classic hot dog round to really test a contestant's capabilities!

Announcer: As you might have expected, we've replaced the meat sausages in these dogs with lumber jelly ones!

Announcer: Along with the texture change, they've been flavored with a special seafood sauce! It's simple, yet classy!

Mash: Hot dogs, eh? You brats are done for!

Mash: I've eaten more than ten lifetimes' worth of 'em! Ain't nobody know how to down hot dogs better than I do!

Mash: May as well give up now! Gahaha!

Kolulu: If you're talking about techniques, then I've learned exactly what to do from Master!

Mash: Oh, you've learned, have ya? Don't tell me you seriously think a single-day crash course is enough!

Kolulu: I won't deny that my training was hasty. But Master showed me the path to victory, and I believe in him!

Kolulu: You'll see soon enough!

Mash: Hmph, cheeky brat... You're startin' to piss me off.

Mash: I'm gonna crush ya!

Staff members bring out the food, and the stadium goes deadly silent.

Announcer: Sorry to keep you waiting, folks! Are we ready to get this show on the road?

Contestants: ...!

Announcer: Then let's bring this legendary competition to a close!

Announcer: Who among these three will prove their worth and become our new champion?

Announcer: Competitors, on my mark! Ready... Start!
