Summary
Stephen, Mal, and the Fangamer crew spend the morning at Nakano Broadway, the "mecca of anime, manga, and video games." There's a ton to take in, from figurines to video games to players guides. Oh, and there's a P.T.-esque hallway in the middle of it all. Stephen and Mal pick up a loose copy of MOTHER 2.

Baseball is the focus of the afternoon, specifically a game between the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants (home team) and the Tokyo Yakult Swallows (cross-town rivals). Tokyo Dome is also home to a few amusement park rides and the Shonen Jump store. At dinner, Kevin tries "Oko-soba", which he assumes is a combination betwen okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake) and soba (buckwheat noodle).
