Boh: Right now, or I'll start crying.

Boh begins shedding a waterfall and sobbing.

Sen: Don't cry! Don't cry!

The Shikigami floats off Sen's back and in a voice much like Yubaba's--

???: What a spoiled brat.

All the students, "It talks?!"

It flies to Boh's head. Boh stops crying, curious.

???: Shut your big mouth. You're a bit of a porker, aren't you?

The Shikigami rests on the ground and a translucent woman appears in its place-- she looks nearly identical to Yubaba– the same blue dress, wrinkled skin, and massive nose. She looks down at her translucent body.

???: Hmm. Still see-through.

Kota "Is that Yubaba?"

Izuku "No. It's someone else."

The Hitachiin, Okumaru, and Pines twins, "A twin?"

Knuckles "Or a Doppelgänger?"

BOH: Mama?

???: You pea-brain. Can't you even tell me from your own mother?

The woman taps her finger, casting a white glow towards Boh, and the big baby transforms into a tiny, plump mouse.

???: There, now your body matches your brain.

She turns to the group.

???: Let's see, what else can we mess with?

The Kashira hop off and the Harpy tries to fly away, but the Yubaba look-a-like waves her sparkling finger and turns the harpy into a small, buzzing, yellow-beaked Crow-Fly, which drops to the floor aside Boh-Mouse. The Kashira are stacked on top of each other and transform into an imitation of Boh. The woman laughs and turns to Sen.

???: This is our little secret. You tell anyone else, and I'll rip your mouth out.

Sen stares cautiously, angrily at the woman.

Sen: Who are you?

Ussop "That's what we all want to know!"

Zoro "Please stop stating the obvious questions out loud."

'Yubaba' glides over to Sen.

???: Zeniba. I'm Yubaba's twin sister.

Connie "Twin sister?!"

All the twins, "Looks like we were right."

Zeniba: It was nice of you to lead me to this dragon's hideout, now hand him over.

Sen: What do you want with Haku? He's badly hurt.

Zeniba: Too bad. He stole my solid gold seal. It's magic and powerful, and I want it back!

Sen: Haku wouldn't steal. He's a good person.

Filo "Yeah he is!"

All of the younger kids in the theater cried out in agreement.

Italy "There is no way for a gentleman like Haku can turn his back on such a bambina carina after everything he's done for her."

Teba "Bam what?"

Romano "It means 'cute little girl' in our country's language."

Teba "I see."

Zelda "Different languages. How interesting!"
