The War Fan of the 47 Rōnin is the 83rd episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the 87th episode to be aired. Moat CrossingIn this Moat Crossing, players had to walk across these swinging platforms at the same time, and teams all did very well. The Blue Barracudas, Green Monkeys, Red Jaguars and Silver Snakes were the first four teams to hit their gongs.
Steps of KnowledgeSome of the boldest and most cunning warriors of Old Japan were the 47 Rōnin. As Lord Asano's bodyguards, they accompanied him to the Palace of the Shogun, the ruler of Japan, but somehow, the evil Lord Kira still managed to do away with Asano. Kobayashi, number one samurai, called the others together. "Boys, we messed up big time...and you know what that means." "We're unemployed?" "That too, but now we are rōnin— outcasts; we must find a way to get even." But Lord Kira was ready. "Double the walls, triple my guards, cancel my dental appointment— the rōnin are on the warpath!" For two years, Lord Kira waited for their attack, but the 47 Rōnin were secretly plotting their revenge. Finally, Kira relaxed. "Those wimps, they'll never attack. Reduce the guard!" The next night, the Rōnin crept across the snow. They fought valiantly through the guards and found Kira hiding in a bathroom. They did away with the evil lord, then surrendered to the Shogun. But instead of punishing them, he ordered their story be painted onto a war fan.
Temple GamesThe Red Jaguars are Joe, who plays basketball and collects keys, and Jillion, who plays volleyball, likes singing and collecting karaoke tapes. The Silver Snakes are Jeremy, who plays basketball and wants to be a standup comedian, and Elise, who plays basketball and rides horses. Lord Kira's Castle (Trampoline/Net Maze)[]The 47 Rōnin sneaked up to Lord Kira's castle and overcame the guards. Before Joe and Jeremy stood Lord Kira's castle, which they had to infiltrate from below. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to launch himself through the webbing, climb through, and throw the samurai back down through the hole. Once done, he had to go onto the next level and do it again. When either player reached the top, he had to throw the warrior through the hole and ring the gong. The player to ring the gong in 60 seconds won. Jeremy rang the gong with 36 seconds remaining, awarding him a half Pendant of Life. Japanese Garden Rocks (Pop-Up Tunnel)[]Some Japanese gardens are made not of plants, but sand and rocks which are valued for their interesting shapes or colors. While the Rōnin were plotting their revenge, they often passed secret messages to each other by hiding them under garden rocks. Before Jillion and Elise were a tunneled garden filled with colored rocks. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to crawl through the tunnel, pop through the hole, and grab the rock she found there. After that, she had to go on to the next hole. If the rock there matched the one she already had, she had to bring them back and drop them in her bin. If the rock did not match, she had to swap the one she already had with the one she found and go on to the next hole. The player with the most pairs in her bin in 60 seconds won. Elise only managed to find one pair, awarding her a half Pendant of Life. Jillion was unable to find any pairs. Tower Walls (Rubber Ring Toss)[]Lord Kira (expecting an attack) doubled the walls of his castle. The teams' task was to the double the walls of the towers before them. When Kirk gave the signal, The player on the ground had to throw a stone (really rubber) to his/her partner. Once his/her partner caught it, he/she had to slide toward the tower, toss it over the tower and go back for another. The team to build a wall of six rings around their tower or the team with the most rings around their tower in 60 seconds won. The Silver Snakes were unable to drop any rings around their tower, while the Red Jaguars won a full Pendant of Life with two rings around their tower, leading to a tie. Tiebreaker[]Olmec: "Samurai always wore two of these weapons: Slingshots…" Jeremy rang in before Olmec could finish, but he was correct when he answered "Swords", sending him and Elise to Olmec's Temple in search of the war fan.
Temple RunJeremy headed into the Crypt at a fast pace. After pulling his second, Jeremy was caught by the first Temple Guard with 2:51. Jeremy handed the guard his Pendant of Life and advanced into the Pit of the Pendulum. After knocking down the column, Jeremy was forced into the Tomb of the Headless Kings. Jeremy initially did not realize the skull was already resting on the camera-left king and proceeded to pull the vines. In his haste to find the skull, Jeremy inadvertently knocked the Pit-Tomb door closed. After finding the skull and placing it on the proper King, Jeremy climbed the ladder into the Chamber of the Sacred Markers. Jeremy then moved along the Top Floor until the second Temple Guard grabbed him in the Room of the Secret Password with 1:06. Elise launched into the Temple and while not as fast as her partner, she made great time at first. However, Elise soon encountered the re-locked Tomb door and was left confused. The door was reopened again with twenty-eight seconds left. Elise then rushed to the Room of the Secret Password, where time soon ran out.
