Scene 1
どのかごで行くんでえ (Dono kago de iku ndē) 乗らねぇんだな (Noranē nda na) 四択か 難しいぜ (Shitaku ka muzukashī ze) 次のノルマは3だ. (Tsugi no noruma ha 3-da.) Translation: Going in which cage Do not ride it Four choices are difficult The next quota is 3.

As the third round's first three-script question appears on the scroll at the top of the screen and its four possible answers are shown below it, the six "do-not-disturb" hotel signs hanging on hooks above the answers with the Kanji text of Jikan (時間) to their left will disappear (one for every second); you will have to press one of the four Answer Buttons to answer it before they all disappear, or your lord will lose a life-onigiri. If your answer is correct, a red "O" will appear around your chosen Kanji numeral as your lord receives 50 points for every tenth of a second he has remaining and one of the three correct-answer lights above him turns on - but if it's incorrect, a blue "X" will appear on top of the chosen Kanji numeral as he loses a life-onigiri. Once you have answered three questions correctly (if you are using MAME to play this game, the virtual cabinet has a "Show Correct Answer" setting which can be set to "Yes"), the game will return to the map as both lords proceed onto the second scene and the following Kanji/Hiragana text appears in its bottom-right:

二之国 丹後 (Nino kuni Tango) 思えば遠くに (Omeoba tōku ni) 来たものだ (Kitamonoda) Translation: Second country Tango If I think about it, it came in the distance

Note: It is also possible to press a button to select one of the other three cages at the start of a scene, and doing so may cause one of three other Kanji texts to appear in it: Ni-taku (二択), in which case the Kanji/Hiragana text of Ungaīna ni-takuda ze (運がいいな 二択だぜ) shall appear at the top of the screen and the questions shall only have two possible answers, Mitaku (三択), in which case the Kanji/Hiragana text of San-taku ka yōjin shite iki na (三択か 用心して行きな) shall appear at the top of the screen and the questions shall only have three possible answers, or Chikamichi (近道), in which case the Hiragana/Kanji text Medetē na chikamichi wo iki na (めでてぇな 近道を行きな) will appear at the top of the screen and the scene is skipped; when either Ni-taku or Mitaku appear in a cage you select read the word "four" in the above description's "four possible answers" as "two" or "three"; also, if Chikamichi (近道) appears in a cage you select at the start of a fourth scene, the boss of the scene will not skipped as they must be defeated.

Scene 2
どのかごで行くんでえ (Dono kago de iku ndē) 乗らねぇんだな (Noranē nda na) 四択か 難しいぜ (Shitaku ka muzukashī ze) 次のノルマは4だ. (Tsugi no noruma ha 4-da.) Translation: Going in which cage Do not ride it Four choices are difficult The next quota is 4.

This scene is much the same as the previous one (only there are four correct-answer lights above both lords, instead of three); once you have answered four questions correctly, the game returns to the map as they proceed to the third scene and the following Kanji/Hiragana text appears in its bottom-right:

三之国 伊勢 (San'no kuni Ise) 問題は難しく (Mondai ha muzukashiku) なるぞ. (Naruzo.) Translation: Third country Ise The problem will be difficult.

Scene 3
どのかごで行くんでえ (Dono kago de iku ndē) 乗らねぇんだな (Noranē nda na) 四択か 難しいぜ (Shitaku ka muzukashī ze) 次のノルマは5だ. (Tsugi no noruma ha 5-da.) Translation: Going in which cage Do not ride it Four choices are difficult The next quota is 5.

This scene is much the same as the previous two (only there are five correct-answer lights above both lords, rather than four); once you have answered five questions correctly, the game returns to the map as they proceed to the last scene and the following Kanji/Hiragana text appears in its bottom-right:

四之国 山城 (Shi no kuni Yamashiro) 京の都でひと (Kyō nomiyako de hito) あばれ!! (Abare!!) Translation: Fourth country Yamashiro Rampage in the city of Kyoto!!

Scene 4
どのかごで行くんでえ (Dono kago de iku ndē) 乗らねぇんだな (Noranē nda na) 四択か 難しいぜ (Shitaku ka muzukashī ze) 次のノルマは6だ. (Tsugi no noruma ha 6-da.) Translation: Going in which cage Do not ride it Four choices are difficult The next quota is 6.

This scene is much the same as the previous three (only there are six correct-answer lights above both lords, rather than five); once you have answered six questions correctly, this round's boss, who is wearing a tunic with an indistinct circled Kanji character on it, will appear on the right side of the screen:

わてが関西の旅主 (Wate ga Kansai no tabi-nushi) ておま. (Te o ma.) Translation: Show yourself as a traveller in Kansai.

みあげた根性して (Miageta konjō shite) まんな、よー来は (Manna, yōrai ha) った. (Tta.) Translation: I looked up and got a lot of guts, yeah.

The screen shall then pan down to reveal four doors with the Kanji numerals for 1 to 4 on them as their categories are displayed at the top of the screen:

一 アニメ (Ichi Anime) 二 自然・科学 (Ni Shizen kagaku) 三 支学・芸術 (San Sasō-gaku geijutsu) 四 グルメ・旅行 (Shi Gurume ryokō) Translation: 1 Anime 2 Natural Science 3 Supportive Arts 4 Gourmet Travel

When you press a button to select a door (and a category), that geisha who sits on the inactive player's side of the screen in a one-player game will walk up to it as it slides open and enter it; you then have to answer seven questions of your chosen category correctly (indicated by the seven correct-answer lights above the lords). Once you have done so, the screen shall cut to a shot of both lords sitting on the now-defeated-and-tied-up boss on its right side:

もうあかん. (Mō akan.) 堪忍や! (Kan'nin ya!) わての負けや. (Wate no makeya.) Translation: I cannot resist you any more.

Bonus Scene
The game shall now proceed to its next bonus scene, which has an old man speaking the Hiragana text Sukina torī wo erabu noja. (すきなとりいをえらぶのじゃ. ) in its bottom-right, as the arrangement of its paths rapidly changes several times; once they have stopped, both lords' heads will appear in two of the four torii at the top of it and the four boxes at the bottom of it are revealed to contain either one, two or three life-onigiri, or the Katakana text Suka (スカ). The lords' heads will now automatically start moving down the screen, going along a horizontal path every time they come to one until they reach one of the boxes at the bottom of it - and once again, whatever ones they were, the game shall then proceed to the fourth round which is set on Chūbu. The Hiragana text Sukina torī wo erabu noja. also means "Choose your favourite torii", implying the buttons may also be used to choose a starting one.
