Recap / Monster Rancher S3 E3: Battle for the Rookie Cup

Go To

The heroes enter the Rookie Cup, and learn that instead of money, a Mystery Disc is the prize for 1st place. A Disc, according to Holly's senses, that contains Tiger! The evil Pink Jam hears about this, and conspires to get both Tiger's disc and the one with Moo's soul. As it just so happens, a Muddy Jell is entering the Rookie Cup…

Mocchi fights his way to the final round, and goes up against an unreasonably powerful Muddy Jell. Before the match can end, another Muddy Jell appears and reveals the truth- the one Mocchi's fighting is Pink Jam in disguise! Mocchi is able to prevail against Pink Jam, and Muddy Jell, seeing that Mocchi beat the monster than defeated him, wisely forfeits. The heroes win the Mystery Disc and unlock Tiger.

Meanwhile, not wanting to return to Durahan empty-handed, Pink Jam and his Jell troops abandon the Baddies.


This episode contains examples of:

  • Lethal Chef: Suezo explains that while he and Golem were traveling together, Golem handled all of the cooking, having developed a dream to run his own restaurant someday. Unfortunately, since Golem normally eats rocks and drinks sand, his recipes could use some work.
  • Living MacGuffin: Tiger, sealed in a Mystery Disc, is one of the prizes for the tournament.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: Genki and the other monsters crowd around Tiger after he's unlocked, clambering all over him until he finally loses patience and snaps at them to back off.
  • Oh, Crap!: Holly's reaction when she senses Tiger's voice coming from the saucer stone the attendant just dropped.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Pink Jam and his Jells do this to the Baddies.
