[music playing over headphones]
[motor revving]
[music continues playing over headphones]
[tires screech]
[engine idling]
[ominous music]
-[MK gasps] -[motor revving continues]
Oh!
[chuckles nervously, gulps]
Oh, boy.
[MK grunts] Wait! Don't!
[grunting continues]
Oh, I've had it up to here
with those Speedy Panda delivery brick heads!
They've been sabotaging me all week!
Those punks with their flash frozen, microwave junk!
Convenience can never replace
[Pigsy] a traditional, home-cooked family recipe.
Yeah, but, they do do it quicker.
[chuckles nervously] All I'm saying is...
Maybe you could afford to pick up the pace?
"Pick up the pace"?
You're the delivery driver, you pick up the pace!
Every noodle from Pigsy's noodle shop
is handcrafted from scratch with love, care!
It's what our customers have come to expect!
Don't you worry about me, Pigsy.
I'm a loyal customer!
-More like a loyal "freeloader". -[Tang gasps in surprise]
I'm telling you, Pigsy.
If something doesn't change,
we're gonna be run out of business.
Ahh, you two don't get it.
I poured my heart into this place.
From the pots, to the utensils,
even my grandmother's antique windows--
[window shatters]
[soft thud]
Hmm.
"Attention, Pigsy's Noodles!"
"Prepare for your worst nightmare!
[Tang reading] "We challenge you to 'Food Wars'
"to determine which restaurant truly reigns supreme.
Signed, Speedy Panda."
So... Someone gonna tell me what the donk "Food Wars" is?
[Pigsy] Food Wars!
The ultimate arena for chefs to duke it out!
Where the victors are hailed supreme
above all others!
Speedy Panda! I accept your challenge!
-[crowd cheering] -[announcer]Welcome one and all
to Food Wars!
Today, two teams will compete in three rounds of food combat
in order to be crowned "Supreme Restaurant" champion!
Introducing first, for Pigsy's Noodle Shop,
Pigsy and his assistant, MK!
[crowd cheering]
And their opponents, Speedy Panda Convenience Mart
and its owners...
these guys!
-[crowd cheering] -[camera clicking]
[laughing wickedly]
Remember us, Monkie Kid?
We're your worst enemies...
Jin...
And Yin!
[both] The Gold and Silver Demons!
[both gibbering]
I'm sorry, who?
I don't even know you guys!
What have you got against my restaurant?
So, here's the plan, right.
We figure, if we put your Noodle Shop outta business,
then Noodle Boy is out of a job!
And if he's out of a job, he'll starve!
Which will make him weak. And then...
[Jin and Yin] We'll finally be able to destroy him!
[laughing maniacally]
-[both trilling] -[Pigsy groans furiously]
[announcer] It is now time for Round One!
The competitors will have to gather
all the ingredients they need,
and race from the Food Wars' ultimate pantry
to their respective kitchens at the center of the courtyard.
In three... two... one...
[horn blares]
MK! Catch!
Whoa! Slow down, Pigsy!
-[MK shrieks] -[Jin laughs]
Uh... Yin, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I have no idea what any of this stuff is.
Oh, don't worry about that.
[both laughing wickedly]
You sly dog!
[thuds]
-[MK grunts] -[motor revs]
[scratches]
I really am the greatest racer ever!
[screams]
[MK] Whoa...
-Kid! -[Jin and Yin laughing evilly]
Round One goes to Speedy Panda!
[announcer] In Round Two,
competitors will put their culinary prowess to the test
in a cook-off,
with the winner being chosen
by a panel of curiously selected judges!
[thuds]
[lively music]
[chuckling slyly]
We've gotta move!
Yes, I told you, good food takes time!
[slurps]
Just need to add one more ingredient...
Argh! Oops!
Clumsy us!
[both cackling]
[groans in frustration]
That was...
That was actually what was missing.
Ho-ho!
-MK! Go! -[gong echoes]
[announcer] And that's the timer!
Both competitors must now present
their culinary creations to our panel of judges.
Introducing our first judge.
Princess Iron Fan!
Ah, you've come to tussle with the champ?
Oh, please.
Like I have energy to waste on you, Noodle Boy.
I'm here to settle a debt and that's all.
[both] Aha!
I knew I shouldn't have made that blood oath.
[announcer] Judge Number Two.
It's none other than the Monkey King!
-[crowd cheering] -Monkey King!
I, Monkey King, fully endorse this product or sports event.
[announcer] And judge Number Three,
and, apparently, a fan favorite, this guy!
Thanks for having me. Great to be here!
You're the man, Tang! The Tang man!
Uh, Pigsy, something wrong?
[tense music]
[gulps nervously]
Oh! You're probably worried he's gonna vote against you
as some form of revenge
'cause you always treat him like garbage all the time.
Right? Is that it?
Would you shush?
[announcer] First up is Speedy Panda
with what looks like an assortment
of mushy dimsum filled with--
Mystery Meat!
With a side of deep-fried spring rolls
topped with whatever-sauce was in this packet.
It's edible... enough?
I'll take your word for it.
[tense music]
[retches, spits]
[Monkey King]Thank you for your interest in the Monkey King
and the Monkey King branded items.
[announcer] The judges aren't giving anything away.
Now, onto Pigsy's Noodles with what looks like...
[Pigsy] Family recipe Xinjiang pulled noodle soup!
Qing Man Yong!
[tense music]
[slurps]
Hmm...
[gasps]
[delightful music]
Ah!
Hmm.
There's no way I'm voting for your restaurant.
[Princess Iron Fan] My vote's for Speedy Panda.
-[MK and Pigsy groan] -[Jin and Yin chuckle]
Hmm.. Well, well, well.
I've been waiting a long time to say this to you, Pigsy!
My vote goes to...
-Pigsy's Noodles! -[crowd cheering]
Of course, it does! His food is a work of genius!
-You're kidding me! -Aw! Outrageous libel!
-[both sigh in relief] -[announcer] That's one vote
for Speedy Panda, and one vote for Pigsy's.
It all comes down to judge Number Three.
I, Monkey King, fully endorse this product--
[gurgling]
-Wait-- What? -[Jin growling]
He endorsed Pigsy's! He endorsed it!
[announcer] Winner of Round Two?
-Pigsy's Noodles! -[crowd cheering]
-That can't be legal! -What... just... happened?
[victorious music]
All right, Pigsy,
what say we up the ante a bit?
Let's make this final contest...
sudden death.
Yeah! Loser has to close their restaurant forever!
Don't gotta ask us twice!
We'll mop the floor with you, dorks!
Ah... Pigsy, I-- Uh...
[announcer] And now, the final competition?
Mascot Combat!
-Wait, huh? -Er... Say what now?
[loud action music]
[thumps]
[crownd cheering]
Yeah, cool, nice death machine!
That ain't got nothing on our... Oh...
[crickets chirping]
[clunks]
Okay. So, we might have a little problem.
I can't believe it?
I dedicated my life to that shop,
[Pigsy] but, now, I'm gonna lose it
to a couple of demons
'cause I was too arrogant to stand down.
You were right, MK.
No one cares about tradition, or centuries-old recipes.
They're being forgotten and replaced by...
[Pigsy sniffles] instant, microwavable junk...
No way!
I may not understand your irrational love for noodles,
or working hard,
or being angry all the time,
but you are always there when I need you!
So, it's time for me to return the favor.
Because Pigsy's Noodles... are noodles worth fighting for!
[auspicious music]
-[MK grunts] -[Pigsy screams]
[MK] Here...
comes...
[both] Monkie Kid!
[Pigsy and MK grunting]
[explodes]
[action music]
[metal clanking]
You see the look on their faces
when we unveiled our Panda Bot?
[chuckles] Yeah, we got this one in the--
-[blasts] -[crowd cheering]
Us, little guys, are fighting back!
Your tyrannical reign over the food sector
in this city is over!
No amount of convenience
will ever win the hearts of us food lovers!
Tang!
I was never going to vote against you, old friend.
[Yin] Oh, yeah?
Bring it on, little piggies!
[Pigsy] All right then, MK!
What do you say you and me show these two
what being a real chef is all about!
Well, go on then, lads!
[Jin] Get them!
[all roaring]
I knew I shouldn't have come back this season.
Hang on! We ain't got the budget for this!
-[Pigsy growling] -[others grunting]
[record scratches]
[thuds]
-Oi, what's all this then? -Well--
You spent all of your profits on that panda mech.
We ain't got enough money to pay our drivers!
Speedy Panda is bankrupt!
-What! Give me that! -Oh, yeah.
Must have been the hydraulics, yeah?
I told you about that.
We're not getting paid?
Okay, yes. So, traditionally,
people expect money when they do work.
But, it's like the pig man said.
No one cares about traditions anymore! Right?
[all yelps]
-[drivers grunting angrily] -[Jin and Yin straining]
[loud thud]
Order up!
[MK] I don't know if I got the broth right.
It's all right, kid, you got plenty of time to learn.
Hey, guys...
thanks for having my back, back there...
-You know it! -Always!
[Monkey King] Believe in yourself!
Even a smidge makes all the difference.
He-- He kinda said the thing!
[all chuckling]
[MK] He says that to me.
-He says that to me a lot. -[Pigsy sighs]
[calm music]
