Rokudo Genma
Manual blurb
Genma's hobby is watching sumo matches, but when it got so popular he could no longer get seats, his heart and his wallet withered like leaves in the depths of winter.
"I want to watch sumo in the front row of Kokugi-kan!"
And so Genma turned to alms-begging in order to earn income. But...?

*Translator’s note: I hadn’t realized it until now, but Kokugi-Kan is a sumo hall; I’ll translate it as such in the dialogue, but I’ll continue to leave it untranslated when labelling rounds to match what appears onscreen.
Introduction
Genma was an older priest whose hobby was watching sumo wrestling. However, these days sumo was so popular that he was unable to get seats, and besides that, his pockets were woefully empty.
Genma: Aaaagh! I want front-row seats at the sumo hall!
And so Genma set out to earn money through priestly begging --- and the townspeople don’t yet realize how scary he can be.
Round 1: Bay Side Park
Genma: I’m Genma, a mendicant priest. Won’t you make a donation?
Gates: I have no money.
Genma: Nnngh, what a useless guy! Of course if he had any money he wouldn’t be sleeping in the park...
Gates: I am not “sleeping;” I am camping! Target confirmed; commencing attack!
(Game)
Genma: He really is broke, I didn’t get a thing! I’ll just have to keep begging.
Round 2: Psychic Burger
Wendy: Welcome to Psychic Burger, where the smiles are free of charge.
Genma: That’s not what I’m here for. I want you to give me all your money!
Wendy: You’re a robber, aren’t you!? HEEEEELP, THIEEEEEF!
Genma: But I’m a mendicant--- G’ahh, with all this noise, if I don’t beat her I won’t be able to get out of here...
(Game)
Genma: Not even being able to tell the difference between begging and robbery, what a troublesome girl.
Round 3: Convenience Store
Genma: I’m a mendicant priest. Won’t you give me a little of your allowance?
Emilio: Mister, who are you?
Genma: I’m an eminent priest who’s pursuing enlightenment! Instead of frittering away your money on childish things, you should give it to me!
Emilio: Wahh! I’ve heard about this guy shaking people down. What a bad man!
Genma: This child lacks discernment. I’ll just have to teach him a little lesson...
(Game)
Genma: You can’t just recklessly call someone a criminal, boy!
Round 4: Amusement Park
Genma: I’m a traveling mendicant priest. If you have any money, won’t you kindly give it to me?
Brad: Sure, I’ll give it to you.
Genma: Mm, you’re a good-hearted man.
Crazy!Brad: I’ll rip off those bunny ears and not give you a penny! I haven’t got money for pests like you!!
Genma: Not that it matters to me, but... You’re quite a character, aren’t you?
(Game)
Genma: Nnngh, this guy hasn’t got anything either! Have the gods and buddhas abandoned me!?
Round 5: Karaoke-Box
Genma: You there, young lady, I’m a mendicant priest. Since I listened to your song, give me an audience fee.
Sonia: What are you talking about? Isn’t it the audience who’s supposed to pay the singer!?
Genma: G’ahh, you’re all mixed up, you troublesome girl. If you say you won’t give it to me, I’ll get it from you this way!
(Game)
Genma: Still nothing! And I’m already at the sumo hall!!
Round 6: Kokugi-Kan
Genma: Drat! I’m at the sumo hall already, with no money... You there, who’s the richest person in this town?
Burn: I guess that’d be Wong. He’s the president of this huge company.
Genma: That’s good to hear! I certainly do thank you. ...But you too, give me your money!
Burn: Are you a priest or a devil!?
(Game)
Genma: Right then! If I go to this Wong person, I’ll get lots of alms and come back and see the sumo!
Round 7: Psychic Tower
Genma: Is this where Wong’s company is!? I’m the mendicant priest, Genma. Now give me money!
Keith: I’m sorry to say that in my secret organization, NOA, the budget for such extra expenditures... does not exist.
Genma: You’d better be nice and hand it over.
(Game)
Genma: He really doesn’t have anything... Wong, you just wait!
Final Round: Central Building
Genma: I’ve found you, Wong! I’m a mendicant priest. Now, give me alms!!
Wong: I’m not a Buddhist, and I fail to see how you are worthy of my money.
Genma: So you don’t think you’ll need me to overlook your evil deeds!?
Wong: Hmph. In that case, it seems that I’ll need you to die.
Ending
Thus Genma defeated Wong, and Wong’s many misdeeds came to light. Wong was arrested, and his company’s assets were seized, but where has Genma gone to?
Genma: Ahahaha!! Sure enough, ringside seats are the only way to watch sumo!!
Using money he took from the vault at Wong’s company before the police arrived, Genma bought a year’s reservation for a front-row seat at the sumo hall. But Genma, you realize that’s a crime, right?
Genma: That’s fine with me!!!
