Fu... Sion... Bingo!!!

[Bray]

The following segment was previously recorded.

 

Freaks and geeks alike flood the Cobb Galleria Center. Most covered from head to toe in their favorite anime characters from history.

 

One lone Prince, covered head to toe in My Hero Academia merch, complete a custom wig and shoes, has made his home at the manga stand, eyeing down the latest edition of the MHA and Dragon Ball Super manga, both told entirely in Japanese.

 

Bray: SWEET! I’ve been waiting for this to come out! Has the English been released yet?

 

Worker: The translated version hasn’t been released globally yet, sir. I apologize.

 

Bray: … PERFECT! I’ll take it!

 

He shoves some bills in his face and makes off with the manga, immediately flicking through it page by page.

 

????: Well look who it is…!

 

Bray looks up from his manga, eyes glowing with red in anger of his reading being disturbed.

 

????: It’s self-proclaimed Anime Prince, Bray.

 

The camera pans over to reveal Lotus Flojo, who is also festive for the event as she’s currently covered in Persona 5 garb, cosplaying as Hifumi Togo. Standing beside her is Nicholas Bates, who is covered in FLCL gear.

 

Bray: Is… isn’t that Hifumi’s clothes.

 

Flojo: What are you… wait… you play Persona?

 

Bray: The Anime Prince loves Persona! What’s your favorite!?

 

Just as Flojo is about to answer Bray’s question, a wild Bingo appears by plowing over Bray.

 

Both men land on the floor in a heap.

 

Bray: MY MANGA….! What the... Bingo?

 

B17 shushes Bray and puts a finger to his lip. His eyes are wide and sweat is rolling down his face.

Nick Bates looks on confused, but still helps both men up.

 

Bray: [whispers] What are you doing here, Bingo?

 

B17 looks Bray up and down: You are not the same, Bray as before, but perhaps that is a good thing. I have just barely escaped the clutches of the dishonourable Thomas Archer and his goons. You must hide me, the both of you!

 

Bates: Um...why don’t you just Bingo Punch all of them?

 

B17: They have anti Bingo Punch force fields, and without my wig, I am powerless to overcome them. Now quick!

 

Bates: Why don’t we kick their legs out of their legs?

 

B17: ARCHER IS THE MASTER OF KICKING THE LEGS OUT OF THE LEGS! HE WILL BE PREPARED FOR THAT!

 

Bray, sensing that people are starting to stare, acts quickly grabs the closest costume he can find.

 

Bates: Great thinking Bray. Those Patty Mayonnaise fuckers won’t recognize him in that outfit.

 

Seconds later, Bingo has become one with a penis costume, showing great pride in his attire. He snaps out of his glory upon seeing Archer’s goons round the corner.

 

Bates: Here goes…

 

Bray: Flojo, take Ace and try to distract them if they get too close.

 

Flojo: I have to take… her???

 

Nearby, Ace is having a ball, shoving an unhealthy amount of cotton candy into her socket just as the goons are closing in. Reluctantly, Flojo grabs her by the arm and pulls her over towards the group.

 

Goon #1: You two! Have you seen a wigless man running around!?

 

Bray: Depends on what type of wig you’re talking about. There’s weaves, there’s extensions, there’s the Goku wig, there’s the Vegeta wig, there’s whatever our president has on his head, there’s-

 

The second goon darts his eyes towards the penis costume nearby.

 

Goon #2: Hey sir!

 

Immediately, Flojo and Ace slide right in front of him, faking a conversation.

 

Flojo: This series is great! Let me tell you!

 

Ace: ??

 

Flojo: Err, uh… Blu-Ray… great! [points to the cover] Outlaw Star!

 

Ace: Oh! Ya!

 

Flojo: [shoves the box in the goon’s face] Don’t you think it’s cool!

 

Goon #2: What the-? Get that junk out of my-

 

Flojo: Not sure if you know this, but manga reads from back to front, pretty much the opposite of American books!

 

Goon #2: I don’t give a… actually, I didn’t know that.

 

Flojo: Right? And even the text is…

 

Flojo pauses once she realizes that the text on the back is entirely in Japanese.

 

Flojo: You may not understand at first! After all, the dubbed version is superior to the subbed anyway.

 

As soon as she says this, Ace’s attitude takes a complete 180.

 

Ace: Nani?

 

Flojo: What? The dub is better than the sub.

 

Ace tilts her head, sporting a cheeky grin as she closes in on Flojo.

 

Ace: … Nihonjin wa yūshūdesu! [The Japanese is superior!]

 

Flojo: I beg to differ.

 

Ace: The fuck you just say?

 

Flojo: ...I’m sorry?

 

Ace: You heard me!

 

Flojo: Where… did… your Japanese accent go!?

 

Ace: Tell this man that subbed is superior to dub!

 

Flojo: You’re crazy.

 

Ace: That's not news! Now tell the man.

 

As the girls continue bickering, the goon next to them spots a manga stand and, curiously, goes over to it.

Bates: There’s also the Luffy wig, those are awesome!

 

Bray: I know right! It even comes with the hat! There’s also-

 

Goon #1: AGGHHHH! I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

 

He immediately rushes past the two, grabbing his cohort on the way, who has a bag full of manga as he spills out of the center. Bingo turns to the two and takes a deep breath.

 

B17: Well, that’s a relief. Thank you fine gentlemen.

 

Bray: Anytime Bingo!

 

B17: Anytime? ...In that case, I name you four honorary members of the Bingo Community!

 

Bray and Bates look at each other, like kids who’ve just gotten a taste of Halloween candy, and cheer with glee.

 

Bates: AWESOME!!!

 

Bray: COMMUNITEH!!!

 

B17: Yeah don’t do that.

 

Bray: Kay.

 

Bingo disappears from the premises, leaving Bray and Bates reveling in their glory while the women continue bickering in the distance.
