JW794 Defeat the Evil Fish

[Pacification of the Provinces Arc] Episode 7: Defeat the Evil Fish

During the reign of the 12th Emperor, Emperor Keiko.

Yamato Takeru (hereinafter Takeru) and his party arrived in Sanuki Province (modern-day Kagawa Prefecture) with a mission to exterminate an evil fish.

They were greeted by the Governor of Sanuki, Prince Kamukushi (hereinafter Mukk), and the residents of Sanuki, Carlos and Jose, but...

Carlos: "It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

Jose: "We have appeared since Episode 724!"

Takeru (17): "Are these people joining the battle as well?"

Mukk: "They worked for us during the previous extermination, so..."

Carlos: "Please leave it to us."

Jose: "The sea around here is like our own backyard, you see..."

Takeru (17): "That is very reassuring."

Just then, Mukk's mother, Ikawahime (hereinafter Ikawa), arrived.

Ikawa: "Prince? It has been a long time."

Takeru (17): "Oh! Lady Ikawa! I am glad to see you are in good health!"

Ikawa: "I am overjoyed to see that you, too, are in good health, my Prince."

Takeru (17): "By the way, have you heard that my brother-in-law Inase (Prince Inaseirihiko) has become the Governor of Harima (modern-day southern Hyogo Prefecture)?"

Ikawa: "Yes. We have received word of this as well. Once the evil fish is defeated, I intend to go to Harima to visit."

Takeru (17): "Is that so... Then, in order to fulfill your wish, Lady Ikawa, I must defeat the evil fish quickly."

Ikawa: "I am counting on you."

Mukku: "Then, 'Takeru'... I shall see for myself just how capable the War God's martial prowess truly is."

Takeru (17): "Understood!"

And so, the group jumped onto a boat and set out to sea, but...

Evil Fish: "Gooo!"

Nakka: "I wasn't told it would be this big!"

Yocchan: "To think it's bigger than the boat..."

Mukku: "My apologies. I should have told you beforehand."

Takeru (17): "Brother-in-law, have you seen it before?"

Mukku: "I have defeated one before."

Carlos: "It was introduced in Episode 724, but you haven't read it, have you?"

Takeru (17): "I... I am sorry."

Jose: "You don't need to apologize."

The giant evil fish...

Will the group be able to defeat it safely?
