Dekin no Mogura: The Earthbound Mole A shady, self-proclaimed hermit named Momoyuki Mogura is banned from the afterlife. Now, he collects spirit-possessed will-o’-the-wisps in his lantern, hoping to make a comeback. Oddly enough, it seems that all those who encounter Mogura begin to see peculiar things. A mysterious and comedic story begins where the lives of the living and ghosts interact in the here and now!

[15:57] Mogura     Youngsters, reality always goes     in directions you wouldn't expect. [16:02] Mogura     This is your first spirit encounter! [16:11] Mogura     Mogura Momoyuki. [16:13] Mogura     "Mogura" means "hundred darknesses,"     and "Momoyuki" means "peach wood bow." SIGN    Mogura Momoyuki [16:16] Mogura     'Fraid I don't know whether it's     a lucky name or an unlucky one, [16:19] Mogura     but at this point,     I guess we're already acquainted. [16:25] Mogura     Here's my proper introduction. [16:27] Mogura     I'm a hermit, a rare kind     of person in this world. [16:29] Mogura     I'm sorry you had to make my acquaintance. [16:31] Magi     Peach wood bow? [16:34] Magi     Long ago, bows made from peach wood     were said to ward off misfortune, [16:37] Magi     so they're also used     to vanquish evil spirits... [16:41] Magi     I think, at least. [16:41] Mogura     Oh, you knew, huh? [16:43] Mogura     That's a liberal arts kid for ya. [16:45] Magi     But writing "Mogura" as "hundred darknesses"? [16:48] Magi     In terms of Japanese mythology... [16:50] Magi     It's like the opposite of Amaterasu Omikami.     That's super ominous. [17:02] Mogura     Just so you know, I don't have any cool     powers like exorcism or whatever. [17:07] Mogura     I just took a little fire from him. [17:10] Mogura     That dude's not an evil spirit or anything. [17:13] Mogura     He was probably just gazing fondly     at the little lady here or something. [17:16] Yaeko     Uh, that's kinda gross... [17:19] Mogura     Yeah, I guess it is, but... [17:23] Magi     Please explain what's going on here. [17:25] Mogura     All right. You're pretty quick     to make decisions. [17:28] Mogura     Magi-chan, Yae-chan,     come to my place for a bit. [17:31] Mogura     I'm about to tell you a really long,     crazy-sounding story. [17:34] Mogura     For now, just accept that. [17:36] Mogura     Also, the ending is basically,     "If you ever see any ghosts, let me know." [17:45] Mogura     When you think of ghosts, you probably     picture something like this, right? [17:49] Magi     Well... yeah. [17:50] Mogura     What do you think this is? [17:52] Magi     A ghost light? [17:53] Mogura     Right. [17:54] Mogura     We also call it demon fire. [17:56] Mogura     Specifically, it's something the dead produce     that guides them to the afterlife. [18:01] Mogura     Like how you decorate     with lantern plants during Obon. [18:03] Mogura     Those are named for the lanterns     said to be carried by the dead. [18:07] Mogura     Ghosts' souls contain that same fire, [18:09] Mogura     and it makes them able     to proceed to the afterlife naturally. [18:12] Mogura     It varies from ghost to ghost, though,     so some lose their way. SIGN    Welcome     Committee [18:15] Mogura     And demon fire is a by-product     of said fire leaking out of the soul. [18:19] Mogura     Remember when I told you     I was banished from the afterlife? [18:23] Mogura     Hey, cut it out.     Don't start thinking I need counseling. [18:28] Mogura     Just hear me out. [18:30] Mogura     The Sun stripped me of my right     to carry this fire in my own soul. [18:36] Mogura     So if I turned into a ghost,     I'd be guaranteed to get lost. [18:39] Mogura     In other words, I can't go to the afterlife. [18:44] Mogura     I can store the fire by-product     made by ghosts in this lantern. [18:48] Mogura     The plan is to get a bunch of it     so it'll guide me to the afterlife. SIGN    Squawk [18:57] Mogura     Hey, listen! I only need you     to remember the gist of it! SIGN    Squawk [19:01] Mogura     But that also means this is my flame of life. [19:04] Mogura     You saw me using it in a different way before. [19:07] (Flashback) Mogura     Well, shit. Now I have no choice. [19:10] Magi     So you did use some kind of illegal substance! [19:12] Magi     No wonder you didn't want us     to call the police! [19:15] Mogura     If we're being blunt, yes,     but watch how you phrase that! [19:18] Mogura     You might say I was charging my life force. [19:22] Mogura     Kinda like an energy drink or e-money, I guess. [19:25] Magi     Charging... [19:26] Magi     Oh! So, like, healing your wound? [19:30] Mogura     Nice, liberal arts kid. You catch on fast. [19:32] Mogura     This is what I love about literature nerds. [19:37] Mogura     To go even further, if I drink a lot, I can     maintain a state that keeps my body alive. [19:42] Mogura     In other words, I can age in reverse. [19:44] Magi     You really are just like a hermit. [19:46] Mogura     Yeah. The only part of it that sucks     is that I didn't ask for it. [19:52] Mogura     Get it? I can't go to the afterlife,     but I still live normally. [19:56] Mogura     That means I do get hurt, sick,     and hungry, and I age. [20:01] Mogura     I can only stay alive if I regularly     fix up my body with this fire. [20:05] Mogura     Above all, I can't survive     in this world without money. [20:09] Mogura     And to get that, I have to work. [20:11] Mogura     Living normally costs money. [20:13] Mogura     With some self-restraint, I can     save up a bit, but it harms my health. [20:17] Mogura     Going to the hospital costs money. [20:19] Mogura     Using the fire is free,     but I'm left with less each time. [20:23] Mogura     I have to keep this thing stocked with fire     while keeping up that kind of life. [20:27] Mogura     Whenever I happen to see a spirit,     like before, I mooch a little. [20:33] Mogura     This is literally     what it means to be tied down. [20:36] Mogura     It's a well-thought-out punishment. [20:37] Magi     Punishment? [20:38] Magi     It's punishment? [20:41] Mogura     That's right. SIGN    Drawer Street SIGN    Drawer [20:44] Mogura     They even gave it a clever name like "Drawer." [20:47] Mogura     This place is basically a prison. [20:50] Mogura     A drawer in which they stuff people     who can't go to the afterlife. [20:55] Magi     Hang on! [20:56] Magi     There was no street there when we     first came along, but then it appeared! [21:00] Mogura     It was there. [21:01] Mogura     You just weren't looking. [21:03] Mogura     Humans only see what they want to see. [21:06] Mogura     The things you're looking for     only turn up after you've looked all over. [21:10] Mogura     That's just how blind humans are. [21:13] Mogura     Missing a street or two happens all the time. [21:16] Mogura     Same with spirits. [21:18] Mogura     You just became aware of things     you didn't notice before after meeting me. [21:22] Mogura     Any questions so far? [21:26] Magi     I have a lot,     but it's all just so outlandish... [21:29] Magi     But weird things are happening,     so assuming it's true... [21:33] Magi     Stuff like "How old are you?"     and "Did you see Perry's ships arrive?" [21:36] Magi     and "What's the scariest thing     you've seen so far?" [21:39] Magi     My head's just a mess right now. [21:41] Mogura     Scariest thing, huh?     Never been asked that before. [21:46] Mogura     Let's see... [21:47] Mogura     It'd have to be the time when     consumption tax was implemented. [21:52] Magi     I get it, but come on. There's gotta be more. [21:55] Mogura     No, it's a huge problem! [21:57] Mogura     Every day, I have a meeting in my head     about whether to ditch my breakfast eggs! [22:00] Mogura     And experience tells me it's gonna     reach 10% someday! It gives me chills! [22:05] Mogura     That's how it was with the land tax, too! [22:08] Mogura     Also, the time I picked up a broken TV, [22:09] Mogura     and days after I fixed it and turned it on, [22:12] Mogura     I was asked if I was paying my license fees. [22:14] Mogura     It's insane. What the hell is with those guys? [22:17] Mogura     Who are they? The KGB? [22:20] Magi     Dude, that is the one comparison     you should not make. Ever. [22:24] Mogura     Hey, I paid it, though! I like Stretch Man! [22:27] Magi     You're actually a good guy, aren't you?! [22:30] Mogura     Anyway, that's the story. SIGN    Scratch Scratch [22:33] Mogura     You need money to do anything. [22:35] Mogura     I need fire, I need money, [22:37] Mogura     and I need to live a healthy     life if I want to move on. [22:41] Mogura     I save up, but I never have more.     You know how that feels, right? [22:45] Mogura     It's tough to balance saving and spending. [22:47] Mogura     I'd love to conserve resources     by never doing anything. [22:50] Mogura     That's the kind of mental state I'm stuck in. [22:53] Mogura     I do everything half-assed. [22:56] Mogura     There's too much I have to do,     and too much I can't do. [22:59] Magi     Oh, yeah. You did say you don't     even have a residency card. [23:02] Magi     Isn't there a way for you to get one? [23:05] Mogura     There is. [23:06] Mogura     I mean, it's just data. Anyone can falsify it. [23:10] Mogura     So long as there are people who need it,     there'll be people who do it for a living. [23:16] Mogura     There was a time when I made     fake IDs and family registers, too. [23:20] Mogura     But in 1942, I got careless. [23:24] Mogura     And that's why it eventually came to me. [23:26] Mogura     Can you guess what came to me? [23:28] Magi     In 1942?

[00:11] SIGN     Draft Notice     Mogura Momoyuki [00:13] MOGURA     I'd been careless. [00:15] MOGURA     I should've thought about what would     happen if I went to the battlefield. [00:20] MOGURA     It happened right after I bought my status [00:22] MOGURA     as an ordinary citizen with the money     I saved up during the Showa era. [00:26] MOGURA     I must've been drunker on     happiness than I realized. [00:28] MOGURA     At the time, I was glad to have passed     my physical exam for conscription. [00:32] MOGURA     I felt like I'd been accepted. [00:34] MOGURA     Thinking about actually being shipped out [00:37] MOGURA     suddenly made me see my situation     and returned me to my senses. [00:41] YAEKO     You couldn't say no? [00:44] MOGURA     That would've been tough for me. [00:46] MOGURA     First, it's tough to refuse     to take the physical exam. [00:49] MOGURA     Draft notices are sent to guys who pass     the exam, so we have no reason to refuse. [00:55] MOGURA     I passed second class. [00:57] MOGURA     I was skinny, but I'd been using     the flame to maintain my health. [01:01] MOGURA     You don't know what second class means? [01:03] MOGURA     You can look it up later. [01:05] MOGURA     Magi-chan, you know what     I'm talking about, right? [01:07] MOGURA     After all, you figured it out     immediately when I said 1942. [01:11] MOGURA     I'm impressed. [01:13] MOGURA     In fact, [01:14] MOGURA     those numbers are a reference to     7.62x39mm cartridges, right? [01:19] MOGURA     Rifle bullets. Seen 'em in movies. [01:22] MOGURA     Kubrick, was it? [01:23] MOGURA     You were wearing an M1911 shirt yesterday. [01:25] MOGURA     That's a gun, yeah? Am I right? [01:28] MOGURA     You're into that kinda stuff, right? [01:30] MOGURA     So you know a bit about it. [01:32] MAGI     Uh, yeah. I play a lot of FPSes. [01:35] MOGURA     Games, huh? [01:36] MAGI     But it's just for fun. I don't know that much. [01:39] MAGI     Sorry if I say something to offend you. [01:41] MOGURA     Oh, no. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. [01:45] MOGURA     Then you must know about     the Type 38 rifle, right? [01:48] MOGURA     I used to use one, but I know     hardly anything about them. [01:51] MOGURA     Americans had whatchamacallits.     Some Winchester or something. [01:54] MOGURA     Anyway, you know... [01:56] MOGURA     They hurt real bad if they hit you. [02:01] MOGURA     More than that, it ain't no fun to     point one at someone and shoot. [02:07] MOGURA     Anyway, I'm just whining. Sorry about that. [02:09] MOGURA     I'll admit they do look cool. [02:11] MOGURA     When I actually saw one, I thought, "Wow!" [02:15] MOGURA     And games are fun. [02:16] MOGURA     I've played them at arcades. [02:18] MOGURA     I can see how people get sucked into them. [02:20] MOGURA     I wish I had some, too. [02:22] MOGURA     Hard to pick up, though. [02:25] FX     Scratch     Scratch [02:25] MOGURA     But the battlefield is different. [02:28] MOGURA     I like movies, too, but reality is different. [02:33] MOGURA     The smell, the filth, the mosquitoes, the piss     and shit, the hunger, the itchiness, the pain. [02:38] MOGURA     Being bullied by officers, bodies     covered in grime, maggots in wounds. [02:42] MOGURA     When you're told to face right,     you face right no matter what. [02:45] MOGURA     I still dream about it. [02:46] MOGURA     Worst of all is I can see all     the spirits of the dead. [02:50] MOGURA     So many of them, both friend and foe. [02:53] MOGURA     It's pathetic, but I was     a bit traumatized by it. [02:58] MOGURA     It's the reason I still don't     want to buy a residency card. [03:01] MOGURA     Can't afford it anyway. [03:02] MOGURA     I know I could work someplace decent for     a while if I bought one, but still. [03:07] MOGURA     Most of all, it made me     use up all the flame I'd saved. [03:09] MOGURA     I had to start all over. [03:12] MOGURA     I told you from the start why I     explained all of this in detail. [03:17] MOGURA     Now that you can see 'em, let me     know if you run into any spirits. [03:24] MOGURA     I'm in the middle of collecting flames again.

[04:41] SIGN     Showa 18 [04:41] YAEKO     When I first saw Mogura-san,     I thought they looked similar. [04:44] YAEKO     Black and white photos are rare,      so it left an impression.

[05:09] YAEKO     I took his story with a grain     of salt, but if it's true, [05:12] YAEKO     then it's possible I was     born because of Mogura-san. [05:15] MAGI     If he could see lots of     spirits on the battlefield, [05:18] MAGI     I was thinking he could have saved more     fire by-product than he used. [05:23] MAGI     Even if he couldn't behave too     suspiciously in the army... [05:26] MAGI     But it's possible Mogura-san used more     fire on others than he did on himself.

[11:33] YAEKO     Are the Alps really that great? [11:36] YAEKO     What's wrong with the Kanto Plain? [11:38] YAEKO     C'mon, c'mon, c'mon. [11:41] MAGI/ID     I guess Yae-chan is even more     spineless than I am sometimes. [11:41] YAEKO     Tell me, Magi-kun. [11:45] (Flashback) MOGURA     Having someone to talk to is far     more necessary than you realize. [11:51] MAGI/ID     I might actually have it pretty good right now. [11:56] YAEKO     Oh, it's Shio-chan. [11:58] YAEKO     Right. They threw a welcome party. [12:00] MAGI     Oh, I didn't get one. [12:04] YAEKO     She's sending me a picture of it. [12:07] YAEKO     What? [12:08] FX     Fbbbt [12:11] SIGN     Drawer Street [12:13] MAGI     It's really here. [12:15] MAGI     Honestly, if this street weren't here,     I would've brushed this off as "I was drunk." [12:21] SIGN LEFT     Tater Chips     Potato Flavor [12:21] SIGN RIGHT     Donuts [12:21] MAGI     I'll blame everything scary on     him and make him resolve it. [12:25] SIGN     Guillotine Head Shop [12:29] MOGURA     It's your... pain. [12:32] MAGI     Is he singing something? [12:33] MOGURA     If you can live for someone. [12:35] YAEKO     He's singing "Get Wild"? [12:36] MOGURA     It's your dream... [12:37] YAEKO     But he's missing a lot of the words. [12:40] MAGI     Why is he singing so loudly? [12:40] MOGURA     You have nothing to fear. [12:42] MAGI     I already want to leave. [12:43] MAGI     He's even scarier than     spirits and living humans. [12:47] MOGURA     Why not? I like it. [12:49] MOGURA     Music is good. [12:51] MOGURA     Once you learn a song, you can     enjoy it even after you're dead. [12:54] MOGURA     You'll find that spirits really gather     at music festivals. [12:57] MOGURA     You should treasure that part of culture. [12:59] MAGI     What? Really? [13:01] MAGI     How am I going to attend festivals now? [13:03] MOGURA     If I hear a song I like at a record café,     I ask them to play it again until I learn it. [13:09] MAGI     What a pain in the ass! [13:12] YAEKO     Thanks. [13:13] MOGURA     Then I use the Internet at the     candy shop to look for the audio. [13:17] MAGI     You've gotten way too good at mooching! [13:21] MOGURA     Then I find a way to record     it on a cassette tape. [13:23] MAGI     What is this, the Showa era? [13:25] MOGURA     It's not like I have a choice. [13:27] MOGURA     I can't get a phone contract, and CDs     and LPs are too expensive for me. [13:32] MOGURA     You can listen to tapes without wifi,     so if anything, it's an amazing technology. [13:36] MOGURA     Cassettes are a luxury. [13:38] MOGURA     In the Edo period, all we had was live music. [13:41] MAGI     Seriously, how old are you?! [13:44] MAGI     No, wait! [13:45] MAGI     What are we even talking about? [13:46] MAGI     We didn't come here to discuss this! [13:49] MOGURA     Where'd that come from? [13:51] MAGI     You talk too much about unnecessary crap. [13:53] MOGURA     Do I? [13:55] MOGURA     As you get older, you spend more     and more time on idle chatter. [13:58] MOGURA     So, what? Did you come to     tell me you saw a ghost? [14:02] MOGURA     Or do you need advice? [14:05] MOGURA     Maybe you saw a photo of a spirit     and don't know what to do. [14:10] MOGURA     Paranormal activity with a precision instrument. [14:13] MOGURA     Happens a lot these days. [14:14] MOGURA     The TV goes crazy, the camera acts up,     weird voices come out of the phone. [14:18] MOGURA     You hear about it all the time. [14:19] MAGI     Enough of the occult crap. [14:21] MAGI     I don't understand the logic yet, [14:23] MAGI     but if you're the reason we can     see them, then do something. [14:28] MOGURA     Well, I think this'll solve the scary part. [14:33] MOGURA     That spirit photo looks like this to me. [14:37] MOGURA     What about you guys? [14:39] MOGURA     Listen, spirits are dead humans. [14:43] MOGURA     Don't think of them as hostile     just because they're creepy. [14:46] MAGI     They look like they're having fun! [14:48] MOGURA     They're human, after all. [14:50] YAEKO     They look hazy to me. [14:54] MAGI     I just see the eyes of lots of black shapes. [14:56] MOGURA     Yeah, they look different     depending on the person. [14:59] FX     Droop [15:00] MAGI     This is getting more and more occult. [15:03] MOGURA     You're still complaining about that? [15:05] MOGURA     Fine. [15:06] MOGURA     I'll show you a perspective that'll momentarily     interest even an occult-hating gentleman. [15:11] MOGURA     Imagine for a minute how you'll     someday become a spirit. [15:15] MOGURA     Then you can look at a girl's ass all you want. [15:17] YAEKO     Inappropriate, old man. [15:17] SIGN BLUE     Old Man [15:17] SIGN RED     Inappropriate [15:19] MOGURA     Just for a minute, yeah? [15:21] MAGI     I don't care that you're an ass man. [15:24] MOGURA     Anyway, there are so many     of them. That's unusual. [15:28] MOGURA     Is it because of the store or the girl? [15:32] MOGURA     Yae-chan, did you see anything     while you were working? [15:35] YAEKO     No, nothing. [15:36] MOGURA     I see. Well, you weren't looking for them. [15:39] MAGI     Are there rules behind how they appear to you? [15:43] MAGI     I'd rather they not look scary. [15:44] MOGURA     I won't say there aren't any, but it depends     on your condition and the spirit's. [15:48] MOGURA     You just have to get used to it. [15:50] MOGURA     Think of it as an Aha! moment. [15:52] MAGI     Blargh. The lack of rules makes me sick. [15:52] FX     Blargh [15:55] MOGURA     Don't think you can explain everything     about another person according to rules. [15:59] MOGURA     That's arrogance. [16:01] MAGI     Sorry. [16:01] FX     Gloom [16:03] MOGURA     Either way, I can't tell if     they're safe unless I see 'em. [16:05] MOGURA     Can I enter the store? [16:08] YAEKO     You could as a normal customer.

[16:23] MAGI     I don't notice anything unusual... [16:25] MOGURA     Look closely. [16:30] MAGI     There's something there! [16:32] MOGURA     See that? Try drawing them again. [16:35] MOGURA     She's extremely easily possessed. [16:35] SIGN     Leave us your feedback [16:38] MAGI     They're a bunch of criminals!

[16:46] MOGURA     If it were the shop, we'd     have to deal with them here. [16:50] MOGURA     Imaging me leaping into action here. [16:52] MOGURA     I could be reported to the cops.

I mean, she's cheerful and charming. [17:06] MOGURA     More than that, people unconsciously     look in the direction of "presences." [17:11] MOGURA     With all the spirits possessing     her, they can't help it. [17:14] YAEKO     All the customers were looking at her, too. [17:19] SHIO     Last order. [17:20] MOGURA     Then could I get this seasonal     fruit sou... souffle? [17:24] MOGURA     This pancake thing. The expensive one. [17:27] MAGI     That aside, why are you running up     a bill like I'm paying for this? [17:34] YAEKO     Thanks for waiting. [17:35] SHIO     Are these the people you     wanted to introduce to me? [17:38] YAEKO     Yeah. [17:39] SHIO     Hello. I'm Inukai Shio. [17:41] MOGURA     Hello. [17:43] SHIO     Which one of you is Yaeko-san's boyfriend? [17:45] YAEKO     Neither. [17:47] MOGURA     Miss, pardon me, but could     I ask you a few questions? [17:51] SHIO     Sure. [17:52] MOGURA     One, do you frequently hear odd sounds     even though nothing is there? [17:55] SHIO     Yes, I do. Always have! [17:58] MOGURA     Two, do you get oddly hungry? [18:00] SHIO     I do! [18:02] SHIO     I want ten servings of noodles with my ramen! [18:03] SHIO     Always have! [18:05] MOGURA     I'm certain now. She's always     been prone to possession. [18:09] MOGURA     Now how do we explain this to her? [18:11] MAGI     Crazy that she brushes it off     as just how it's always been. [18:14] SHIO     Huh? What? I'm prone to possession? [18:18] SHIO     Are you guys Ghostbusters?! [18:20] SHIO     Wow! Can you use the Force?! [18:23] MOGURA     Yeah, whatever. It's fine     if she learns everything. [18:28] SHIO     But there's nothing here. [18:29] SHIO     Is it here? [18:31] SHIO     Begone, evil spirits! [18:33] MAGI & YAEKO     She accepted that quickly! [18:35] MOGURA     Girls tend to accept it pretty easily. [18:39] MOGURA     Boys tend to demand an     explanation, deny it entirely, [18:42] MOGURA     or are hardcore paranormal enthusiasts. [18:45] MOGURA     Miss, do you not want to be possessed? [18:47] SHIO     No! What should I do?! [18:50] MOGURA     Then let's ask the spirits to leave nicely. [18:55] FX BLACK     Whoosh [18:55] FX RED     Smash [18:55] MOGURA     Stop chasing a young girl's ass around,     you hellbound reserves! [18:56] FX YELLOW     Whud [18:56] FX GREEN     Smash [18:56] FX BLUE     Smash [18:59] MOGURA     Get outta here! [19:00] SPIRIT A     What's your problem?! [19:01] SPIRIT B     We were just looking! [19:04] MAGI     That wasn't asking nicely at all! [19:06] MOGURA     Yeah, I know. Since it's important,     I wanted to phrase it politely first. [19:10] MOGURA     But spirits are pretty brazen     since people can't see them. [19:13] MOGURA     You always end up having to     drive them off like this. [19:17] MAGI     What about all that ethical crap you     said about spirits being human?! [19:21] MOGURA     It's like, you know... [19:22] MOGURA     "Don't date, focus on your studies! [19:24] MOGURA     (But you guys are dating, right?     Ah, to be young!)" [19:30] MOGURA     Like saying that at school. [19:32] MAGI     Your logic is infuriating! [19:33] MOGURA     You gotta pay lip service, you know? [19:36] MOGURA     Hey, look! It's rare that I     collect this much at once! [19:40] YAEKO     You're the one who mentioned     looking at a girl's butt all you want. [19:43] MOGURA     Now then... [19:45] MOGURA     We're done dealing with the ones     who'll leave when you tell them to. [19:49] MOGURA     The real problem starts now. [19:53] MOGURA     Don't make eye contact. [19:55] MOGURA     Don't act scared. Act normal. [19:57] MOGURA     He's only interested in himself. [19:59] MOGURA     He doesn't even see that something     happened to the spirits around him. [20:02] MOGURA     But if he realizes we've noticed him,     it'll be a real pain. [20:08] MOGURA     I was hoping she wasn't possessed     by one of those, but there he is. [20:12] MOGURA     Good grief. [20:13] MOGURA     We could leave him alone, since Shio-chan     doesn't seem bothered by him, [20:16] MOGURA     but sometimes spirits like him     switch to nice girls like Yae-chan. [20:20] YAEKO     What? [20:21] FX     Huff [20:22] MAGI     So he's an evil spirit. [20:23] FX     Pant [20:26] MOGURA     Nah, just needy. [20:26] FX     Hnf hnf hnf hnf hnf [20:30] MOGURA     I told you, spirits are human. [20:33] STALKER     A girl... [20:33] MOGURA     In other words, he's a stalker. [20:35] MAGI     Now that I get a better look at him, [20:37] MAGI     he's less supernaturally scary     and more simply creepy. [20:41] MOGURA     You think telling a stalker     to leave you alone will work? [20:45] MAGI     No. [20:46] MOGURA     Right? [20:47] MAGI     Living humans have the police. [20:49] MAGI     So what do we do about dead people? [20:52] MAGI     What we need is a proper exorcist. [20:55] MAGI     Someone who won't just make him     leave but can force him to pass on. [20:58] YAEKO     But Mogura-san, you can't     exorcise spirits, right? [21:01] MOGURA     No, but I know someone who can. [21:04] MOGURA     There aren't many real exorcists. [21:06] MOGURA     And they're stupid expensive. [21:08] MOGURA     But I've got a connection. [21:11] MOGURA     The thing is, they're even rougher and     crabbier than me, so you gotta watch how— [21:16] STALKER SPIRIT     Do you see me? [21:20] STALKER SPIRIT     Were you talking about me behind my back? [21:24] STALKER SPIRIT     Badmouthing me? [21:25] STALKER SPIRIT     You were badmouthing me, weren't you? [21:26] STALKER SPIRIT     Do you hate me? [21:29] MOGURA     Crap! [21:30] MOGURA     He realized we can see him! [21:33] MOGURA     Run! [21:33] MAGI & YAEKO     What? [21:36] MOGURA     The spirit's about to get real needy! [21:40] CLIENT     Hurry up and defeat the spirit possessing me. [21:43] KYOSHIRO     Everyone's always asking     me to "defeat" spirits.

[03:21] KYOSHIRO     Oh, did this thing latch onto you guys? [03:24] KYOSHIRO     You poor things. [03:25] MAGI     You know this person? [03:27] KYOSHIRO     Person? He's not a person. [03:32] KYOSHIRO     He's a sub-human creature being     punished for his screwup. [03:35] KYOSHIRO     A human would've been sent to     hell for making a mistake.

[03:46] KYOSHIRO     Hey, you. You seem nice,     so I'll tell you something. [03:49] KYOSHIRO     I don't know what he told you, [03:51] KYOSHIRO     but nothing good will come from     associating with shady sub-humans. [03:55] KYOSHIRO     Not only that, but he's     a typical trauma victim. [03:58] KYOSHIRO     There's no need to take this broken     creature's manic-depressive episodes [04:02] KYOSHIRO     and extreme behavior seriously. [04:04] KYOSHIRO     He tells practically everyone about his trauma. [04:07] KYOSHIRO     He's a racketeer who survives by     ingratiating himself with people. [04:10] MOGURA     Well, that's pretty harsh. [04:11] MOGURA     Anyway, this is Nekozuku Kyoshiro. [04:14] MOGURA     He'll exorcise this spirit for us. [04:15] MOGURA     These are Magi and Yae-chan. [04:17] KYOSHIRO     See? He's always like this. [04:20] KYOSHIRO     You leave out way too much information. [04:23] SHIO     I'm— [04:23] KYOSHIRO     I know who you are. [04:25] KYOSHIRO     You're that first-year, Inukai,     who's prone to possession. [04:27] SHIO     Yes! I'm Inukai Shio. [04:31] YAEKO     Shio-chan, you probably shouldn't     respond to everything on reflex. [04:36] YAEKO     Huh? Your uniforms match. [04:39] SHIO     You're right. Which means... [04:41] SHIO     All right! [04:42] SHIO     More people I can borrow textbooks     from when I forget mine! [04:45] KYOSHIRO     I'm a third-year. [04:46] YAEKO     No, Shio-chan. [04:48] YAEKO     We're all shocked that the exorcist     is a high school student. [04:52] SHIO     Oh, right. [04:54] MAGI/ID     We're not getting anywhere. [04:56] MOGURA     Anyway, you get the idea.     Could you handle that spirit? [04:59] KYOSHIRO     No, I do not get the idea. [05:01] KYOSHIRO     Let me review the situation. [05:03] KYOSHIRO     I don't know why, but you     met these people somehow. [05:06] KYOSHIRO     Not only that, but you've     exposed them to spiritual harm. [05:08] KYOSHIRO     You even dragged Inukai into it. [05:11] KYOSHIRO     And now you want me to fix everything for you. [05:14] KYOSHIRO     Did I get that right? [05:15] MOGURA     Yes. [05:16] KYOSHIRO     Die. [05:17] MOGURA     I can't. That's the whole problem. [05:21] KYOSHIRO     Let me get her consent first. [05:24] KYOSHIRO     Inukai, should I exorcise you? [05:27] SHIO     Huh? What? [05:28] SHIO     I mean... I guess so.

SIGN    Purr SIGN    Purr [06:16] MOGURA     Can't you see it? SIGN    Purr [06:18] MOGURA     That's the price of possessing great power. [06:23] KYOSHIRO     Ow. That hurts.

[06:33] KYOSHIRO     He steals my nutrients, so I can't gain weight [06:36] KYOSHIRO     and get these bags under my eyes. [06:37] KYOSHIRO     It sucks. [06:40] KYOSHIRO     Go on, Nabeshima.

[07:06] MOGURA     I guess that beats being eaten completely. [07:09] MOGURA     Now he won't be able to move for a while. [07:11] MOGURA     Someone from the afterlife will notice the      commotion and come to get him soon. [07:15] MOGURA     We'll let them handle the rest. [07:17] MOGURA     This is how the Nekozuku     family conducts exorcisms. [07:20] MOGURA     They've been possessed by     bakeneko for generations. [07:23] MOGURA     As a literature major, I'm sure you get     that they're still hated and feared. [07:28] MOGURA     The Nekozuku family turned that     into a way to make money. [07:31] MOGURA     They're exorcists. [07:32] MOGURA     They fight fire with fire. [07:35] MOGURA     But an exorcism by the family     head costs a fortune. [07:37] MOGURA     Meanwhile, Kyo-chan's still a trainee. [07:40] MOGURA     He'll defeat spirits for free. [07:42] MAGI     You know a lot of free services. [07:44] KYOSHIRO     I don't "defeat" spirits. SIGN    Purr [07:46] KYOSHIRO     Someone should eat your     brain for thinking that. [07:49] MOGURA     You're right. [07:50] MOGURA     You don't enjoy a sense of     justice when you do it. [07:53] MOGURA     My bad. [07:54] MOGURA     You appease the great cats so     they'll swat your victims. [07:58] MOGURA     That's the Nekozuku family style. [08:01] MOGURA     If the spirits are unlucky,     sometimes they're eaten. [08:04] MAGI     In other words... [08:06] MAGI     they're really good with cat toys? [08:08] MOGURA     That's right. [08:09] MAGI     They're like celebrity pet trainers. [08:11] MOGURA     Anyway, that's that. [08:13] MOGURA     I'll be taking some flames from this guy. [08:15] MAGI     He's like the old woman who     steals hair in Rashomon. [08:19] MAGI     It feels so fruitless. [08:22] STALKER SPIRIT     Girls... [08:24] KYOSHIRO     He won't give up. [08:26] KYOSHIRO     He probably never got a date in life. [08:28] KYOSHIRO     Go on, Nabeshima! Play! [08:39] MOGURA     Kyo-chan, be a little more careful. [08:42] MOGURA     You'll scatter the flames. [08:43] MAGI     What kind of logic is that? [08:44] MOGURA     You get more tofu by scooping     it out of the pot with a ladle [08:47] MOGURA     than poking it apart while trying     to pick it up with chopsticks. [08:51] MOGURA     It's the same thing. [08:53] MAGI     I think I get it, but was that     the right analogy to use? [08:56] MOGURA     Kyo-chan still hasn't mastered that yet. [08:59] MOGURA     The head of the Nekozuku family     does it way more neatly. [09:02] MAGI     Right, that! [09:03] MAGI     Um, is his father's name     Nekozuku Toshiro by chance? [09:08] MOGURA     Huh? I'm surprised you know. [09:10] MAGI     I knew it. [09:11] MAGI     Nekozuku's an unusual name. [09:14] MAGI     He's a professor at my university. [09:16] MAGI     He teaches fantasy literature     and is my seminar advisor. [09:19] MAGI     He's a fantasy author himself. [09:22] MAGI     He writes mysterious stories. [09:24] MAGI     His style and oddly specific     expressions are interesting. [09:27] MAGI     That's why I took one of his classes. [09:29] MOGURA     A fantasy author?

[09:56] MOGURA     I said from the start that you     could ignore all of this, [09:59] MOGURA     but now that you know, [10:02] MOGURA     you can change your perspective     and enjoy life a little more. [10:07] SHIO     I'm the only one who can't see anything! SIGN    Waaah [10:12] MOGURA     Well, life's easier for people like her. [10:15] MAGI     You're lucky you can't. [10:16] MAGI     The huge cat is actually pretty scary. [10:18] SHIO     I wanna see the bakeneko! [10:21] MOGURA     Either way, this situation is the     miracle of the century for me. [10:26] MOGURA     Shio-chan's easily possessed. [10:28] MOGURA     I probably shouldn't say it,     but that's great for me. [10:30] MOGURA     Magi and Yae-chan, let me know     if you see anything else. [10:34] MOGURA     You're both pretty sensitive. [10:36] MOGURA     Few people have brains and eyes     that can accept this so quickly. [10:39] MOGURA     Kyo-chan, I'll ask you to     handle anything I can't. [10:42] KYOSHIRO     No, you won't. [10:45] MOGURA     We make a great team. [10:47] MOGURA     I'd nearly given up, [10:48] MOGURA     but I've never encountered such a perfect     crew all at the same time before. [10:54] MOGURA     I might actually gather enough     fire to return to the afterlife. [10:58] MOGURA     I actually have some hope now. [11:00] MAGI/ID     Return? [11:01] MOGURA     That's all for today. It's late. [11:05] SHIO     What? 11PM? [11:07] SHIO     Oh, no! My mom's going to be mad. [11:10] MAGI     I have an essay due tomorrow. [11:12] KYOSHIRO     What's wrong with you people? [11:14] MAGI     Good morning. [11:18] MAGI     Professor Nekozuku, I just sent you my essay. [11:21] MAGI     Twenty pages on why children's literature     contains so many horror elements. [11:26] TOSHIRO     Yes, I received it. [11:28] TOSHIRO     Did you pull an all-nighter? [11:30] MAGI     Huh? Yeah, I guess. [11:32] TOSHIRO     That's not good for you. [11:33] TOSHIRO     You should be careful. [11:35] MAGI     I will. Excuse me. [11:37] TOSHIRO     Magi-kun, Kirihara-san. [11:40] TOSHIRO     I should warn you:     Stay away from Drawer Street. [11:44] TOSHIRO     It'll keep pulling you in deeper. [11:57] TOSHIRO     This isn't an easy life. [11:59] TOSHIRO     The shoulder stiffness is especially terrible. [12:02] MAGI     I think I'll go home for the day and sleep.

[12:19] TOSHIRO     Today I'm lecturing from Mie Prefecture. [12:22] TOSHIRO     Mie is the birthplace of Edogawa Ranpo. [12:22] MAGI     Professor Nekozuku goes on     business trips sometimes. [12:25] MAGI     He conducts his classes online when he does. [12:26] TOSHIRO     Ranpo was born in what is now known as Nabari. [12:28] MOGURA     Sometimes he travels for exorcisms. [12:28] TOSHIRO     When he was two, he moved to Kameyama     City and moved again after that, [12:31] MOGURA     He's famous by word of mouth. [12:32] TOSHIRO     repeatedly moving throughout his life. [12:34] MAGI     So that's how it is. [12:36] MAGI     I had no idea.

[12:47] TOSHIRO     In Japan, when we read stories     about non-humans living as humans, [12:52] TOSHIRO     we tend to interpret it as a god     or similar entity being punished.

[13:04] TOSHIRO     The people of the moon—in other words,     the residents of heaven—are above humans.

[21:39] NA     People say it is righteous to help others, [21:42] NA     while others believe giving up     on the hopeless is more noble. [21:47] NA     Even on our deathbeds, we don't     know the right answer. [21:52] NA     But this hermit who couldn't     even choose to die said, [21:56] NA     "This choice may lead to the     greatest miracle of the century," [22:02] NA     as though to comfort himself.

[00:12] MOGURA     I might actually gather enough     fire to return to the afterlife. [00:16] MOGURA     I actually have some hope now. [00:20] SUKEKIYO     Magi, do you know any mediums? [00:23] SUKEKIYO     Of course you don't. [00:25] MAGI     What? [00:26] MAGI     Actually, uh... [00:29] MAGI     I do. [00:33] OSHIRO     I want you to help my family. [00:35] OSHIRO     In exchange, my family will do anything     it can for you in the future. [02:12] MOGURA     Anyway, people in your family sure do     like to get married early.

[02:24] SUKEKIYO     What? Exorcists offer receipts? [02:28] TOSHIRO     Many people even purchase talismans     as a business expense. [02:32] SUKEKIYO     In that case, I'd like a receipt, please! [02:34] SUKEKIYO     I'm not paying for this out of pocket, Kaneda! [02:37] MAGI/ID     What happened between him and Kaneda? [02:41] SUKEKIYA     Do you belong to a religious corporation? [02:44] TOSHIRO     I'm self-employed. [02:45] TOSHIRO     I'm even registered and pay taxes. [02:48] TOSHIRO     Legal credibility is very beneficial. [02:52] SUKEKIYO     Seriously? Huh. [02:53] SUKEKIYO     It's odd to think our country runs     on taxes collected from exorcisms. [02:58] MOGURA     Assuming they don't vanish like ghosts     into the pockets of ministers. [03:03] SUKEKIYO     Does the Legal Affairs Bureau let     you register as an exorcist? [03:07] TOSHIRO     Well, actually... [03:09] TOSHIRO     Officially, my job description is     "cleaning, tidying, and estate liquidation." [03:14] SUKEKIYO     That's not wrong, but it's not really true. [03:17] MAGI     The tax office and Legal Affairs     Bureau sound a little lax. [03:19] TOSHIRO     Magi-kun, I'll tell you something     they don't teach you in college. [03:23] TOSHIRO     As long as they get their taxes,     the country doesn't complain. [03:27] MAGI/ID     Ain't that the truth. SIGN    The truth... [03:29] MOGURA     For generations, they've made a killing     off performing exorcisms for ministers. [03:33] MOGURA     Ministers get possessed by all sorts of things. [03:35] MAGI     What? Professor, you have a close     relationship with the government? [03:38] MOGURA     That's why the Nekozuku family's rich. [03:42] MAGI     Then you should cover more drinks     at our seminar's parties. [03:45] TOSHIRO     If there's anything else I can tell you, [03:47] TOSHIRO     it's that I am a self-employed exorcist and     college professor who writes on the side. [03:53] TOSHIRO     My tax returns are a pain in the rear. [03:55] TOSHIRO     If that sounds awful to you, then     become an office worker instead. [03:58] MAGI     This is hardly the time for career advice. [04:02] SUKEKIYO     So, um, how much is this going to cost? [04:05] SUKEKIYO     Not too much, I hope... [04:07] TOSHIRO     Actually, an exorcism isn't even necessary. [04:10] TOSHIRO     There's no need to pay anything at all. [04:12] TOSHIRO     But in this case, I believe     a performance is necessary, [04:15] TOSHIRO     so why don't I write a receipt for an amount [04:18] TOSHIRO     that will satisfy your headquarters.      Say, 10,000 yen? [04:21] SUKEKIYO/ID     I'm glad this exorcist is so understanding. [04:24] TOSHIRO     Since this man referred me, even if I charge     nothing, I'm obligated to fulfill my duty. [04:30] MAGI     Sounds like he really trusts you. SIGN    Scratch     Scratch [04:33] MOGURA     Yeah, I guess. [04:35] MAGI     Are you just gonna watch, Mogura? [04:37] MOGURA     What? I'm just, you know... [04:40] MOGURA     A pigeon waiting around someone eating     bread in case they drop crumbs. [04:44] MAGI     Does putting yourself down     that hard not make you sad? [04:48] MOGURA     What? You owe pigeons an apology! [04:50] TOSHIRO     Manager, sir, please wait here. [04:53] TOSHIRO     We'll let you know once the exorcism is over. SIGN    Murr [04:59] TOSHIRO     What is it, Ikebukuro? [05:02] TOSHIRO     Actually, it's possible that     there may be some difficulties. [05:12] MOGURA     Dang, there sure are a lot in here. [05:15] MOGURA     But they're all harmless. [05:18] MOGURA     Huh? What are they looking at? [05:20] KYOSHIRO     Mogura, there's something there.

[05:42] SHIO     Red pandas are those animals     that look like raccoons, right? [05:47] SHIO/ID     Wait, favorite red panda? [05:48] YAEKO     They're actually pretty     different from raccoons. [05:51] YAEKO     Raccoons walk like this, right? [05:54] YAEKO     But red pandas walk like this. [05:56] SHIO     Oh, you're right. [05:58] SHIO     Now that I look more closely, their     shape and pattern are different, too. [06:01] SHIO     You really like red pandas, huh? [06:04] YAEKO     I love them! They're so cute!

[06:26] MAGI     I've never been able to see     animal spirits before. [06:29] MOGURA     Animals are geniuses at hiding,     in life or after it. [06:32] MOGURA     Could you see Nabeshima at first? [06:35] MOGURA     Even now, he's kinda faint if     you don't pay attention, right? [06:40] MAGI     You're right. [06:42] MOGURA     But you and the professor noticed. [06:43] MOGURA     Noticing the presence of     animals isn't our specialty. [06:49] MOGURA     But Ikebukuro-san noticed right away. [06:52] MOGURA     After all, he's an animal, too. SIGN    Murr SIGN    Find Me [06:56] MOGURA     I'll say it again, but "seeing" is "noticing." SIGN    "Noticing" SIGN    "Seeing" SIGN    Spot the Difference [06:59] MOGURA     We don't notice things our eyes see     all the time. It's not just ghosts. [07:04] MOGURA     It's tough to find a snake hiding in the woods, [07:07] MOGURA     but an expert can, because they     can guess where they'll be. [07:10] MOGURA     If you're not constantly     guessing where things might be, [07:12] MOGURA     you won't even notice a savage     beast right next to you. [07:15] MOGURA     Husbands often don't notice when their     wives have changed their hairstyle. [07:19] MOGURA     Their eyes can see it,     but their brains don't notice. SIGN    Well? What do you think? [07:20] WIFE     Well? What do you think? [07:23] MOGURA     Anyway, what is that thing? [07:26] MOGURA     It's not a cat. SIGN    Yap Yap [07:31] MOGURA     What is that? A tanuki? [07:33] MAGI     It's a raccoon. SIGN    Grawr [07:37] TOSHIRO     I believe that's a red panda. [07:39] MAGI     What? [07:39] TOSHIRO     And that's a red panda's threat display. [07:42] MOGURA     Seriously? That's cute. [07:45] MAGI     The sound it makes is surprisingly scary. [07:47] MAGI     But what's a red panda spirit doing here? [07:50] MAGI     And red panda spirits are a thing? [07:52] TOSHIRO     It probably died in a zoo somewhere. [07:56] TOSHIRO     Perhaps it fled here after receiving     too much attention from human spirits. [08:00] MAGI     It's scared. Poor thing. [08:02] MAGI     Don't be afraid. [08:06] MOGURA     Don't excite it! [08:07] MOGURA     Animals don't think like humans! [08:09] MOGURA     They're pretty tough to handle! [08:11] MOGURA     In situations like these, stay calm! [08:13] MOGURA     The best thing we can do right now is this! [08:17] MOGURA     Ikebukuro-san, get 'im! [08:20] MAGI/ID     If this guy were the protagonist of a     manga or anime, he'd be utterly pathetic. [08:25] MAGI     Hey, wait! [08:26] MAGI     Maybe it's my ego talking, but should we be     exorcising the spirit of an innocent animal? [08:31] MAGI     Bakeneko exorcisms are so... violent! [08:35] MOGURA     That's what makes Ikebukuro-san so amazing. [08:38] MOGURA     What makes Toshiro worthy     to act as his master [08:41] MOGURA     is that he can make him     obey despite being a cat. SIGN    Silvervine SIGN    Silvervine [08:46] TOSHIRO     Don't eat him, Ikebukuro. [08:48] TOSHIRO     Just capture him. SIGN    Melting Cat SIGN    High On Silvervine [09:08] MOGURA     He closed the shutter! [09:10] MAGI     What? Red pandas can be poltergeists? [09:13] MOGURA     It's not because he's a red panda. [09:15] MOGURA     I think he's just really easily scared. [09:18] MOGURA     Scaredy-cats tend to throw     out all kinds of moves. SIGN    Aaahhh [09:22] MOGURA     Humans do the same thing. [09:24] MOGURA     We've been paralyzed! [09:25] MAGI     Typical. [09:27] MAGI     I know this isn't a great time,     but why do spirits paralyze people? [09:31] MOGURA     Broadly speaking, they     don't have physical bodies, [09:34] MOGURA     so it's easiest for them to affect     us using electrical signals. [09:37] MOGURA     In other words, our brains have been hacked. [09:39] MOGURA     Our brains think our bodies can't move. [09:42] MOGURA     That's why over-thinkers like     you are especially susceptible. [09:47] MAGI     What? [09:48] YAEKO     Excuse me! [09:50] YAEKO     We're stopping by on our way home from work.

[10:08] KYOSHIRO     Inukai, a spirit is keeping it closed! [10:11] KYOSHIRO     It's dangerous to touch! [10:12] KYOSHIRO     My dad and I are about to exorcise it,      so get away from there!

SIGN    Q: What are your thoughts on mathematics? [12:04] KYOSHIRO     I knew her as the easily possessed girl, but     at school she's famous for being energetic. [12:10] KYOSHIRO     I had no idea she was such a meathead, though. [12:13] KYOSHIRO     So that's why she's easily possessed. [12:15] KYOSHIRO     People with healthy bodies     are farthest from death. [12:19] KYOSHIRO     That's why people like Inukai     are strongest against spirits. [12:22] KYOSHIRO     At the same time, spirits are drawn to her. [12:25] KYOSHIRO     They're like moths drawn to a flame. [12:27] KYOSHIRO     By contrast, I have the ability     to exorcise and see spirits, [12:31] KYOSHIRO     but it also means I'm closer to death. [12:35] SHIO     Are you all right? Is it an evil spirit?! [12:37] SHIO     Is there anything I can do? SIGN    Do = Kill [12:41] SHIO     Where's the evil spirit? [12:42] SHIO     I can't see it, but where is it?!

[13:10] KYOSHIRO     I only weigh 40 kilos! [13:11] KYOSHIRO     I don't have much fat to cushion me! [13:13] SHIO     No way. [13:14] SHIO     But I weigh 55 kilos. [13:16] MOGURA     Isn't that because you've got lots of muscle? [13:19] MOGURA     Also, that's pretty normal for     someone over 160 centimeters. [13:30] MOGURA     Repairing this damage is gonna     cost more than the exorcism. [13:36] MOGURA     What's this powder? [13:37] MAGI     Gardening charcoal. [13:39] MAGI     People buy it for some reason. [13:41] MAGI     It's heavy, so inspecting     and stocking it is a pain. [13:45] MOGURA     Kyo-chan, are you okay? [13:47] TOSHIRO     Kyoshiro!

[16:19] MOGURA     It might become difficult to separate them. [16:21] TOSHIRO     Well, since he's not a     monster like a bakeneko... [16:26] KYOSHIRO     Honestly, animal spirits are harder     to remove than human spirits. [16:29] KYOSHIRO     It would actually be hugely helpful if he kept     possessing him and left the store on his own. [16:34] MOGURA     Magi. [16:35] MOGURA     You're the one who felt bad about     exorcising an innocent animal. [16:39] MOGURA     You look after it for a while. [16:41] MAGI     No way! [16:43] TOSHIRO     We'll have Magi-kun handle the red panda, [16:46] TOSHIRO     so now we can finally address      the human spirits. [16:48] MAGI     Oh, are you actually getting started now?

SIGN    Magi [05:15] MOGURA     When was the last time you visited your parents? [05:18] MAGI     New Year's. [05:19] MOGURA     People who live alone despite attending     a university in their parents' city [05:23] MOGURA     are generally independent,     want a convenient commute, [05:26] MOGURA     or have an awkward relationship     with their family. [05:28] MAGI     Your analysis can be annoying sometimes. [05:31] MOGURA     Tell him I'm an alumnus who     can supposedly see spirits. [05:36] MOGURA     It's better than making up an elaborate story. [05:39] MOGURA     And tell him Yae-chan introduced me to you. [05:41] MOGURA     In my experience, involving a girl     makes people lower their guard. [05:45] MAGI     This is the one thing you're good at. [05:48] MOGURA     Plus, you're calmer when Yae-chan's present. [05:52] MOGURA     It's surprisingly important     to do things with others. [05:55] MOGURA     It makes us feel safer and stronger. [05:58] MOGURA     Having Yae-chan with you must've played     a big role when you tried to help me. [06:04] MOGURA     You wanted to impress her, right? [06:08] MOGURA     If you'd been alone, you would've     panicked and lost track of me. [06:17] UMEHARU     Mo... [06:19] UMEHARU     Mom, Dad! [06:20] UMEHARU     He brought his girlfriend home! [06:23] MAGI     She's not my girlfriend! [06:32] UMEHARU     She's nice. [06:33] MAGI     What was that pause just now? [06:35] YAEKO     Say it. [06:37] YAEKO     Depending on your answer, I might stab you. [06:39] UMEHARU     I just thought she was nice and small. [06:42] YAEKO     Small? What's small? [06:44] YAEKO     In four words or less. [06:48] MOGURA     Hey, could you tell me what happened? [06:51] UMEHARU     Oh, right. Come in. [06:55] MOGURA     First, what's this Miya-chan girl like? [06:58] UMEHARU     I think I have a picture. [07:00] MOGURA     Big brother red panda,     little brother red panda. [07:04] UMEHARU     I have so many, I can't tell anymore. [07:07] UMEHARU     Which one is she? [07:08] UMEHARU     Oh, here. [07:12] MAGI     Why'd you take this picture? [07:15] MAGI     It looks like VHS-era adult video     packaging or a centerfold model... [07:21] UMEHARU     Miya-chan's great because she's so sexy. [07:24] MAGI     Also, are big breasts the     only thing you care about? [07:28] UMEHARU     As long as she's got big breasts,     nothing else really matters. SIGN    Damn it... [07:32] UMEHARU     Don't get me wrong. [07:34] UMEHARU     It's, uh, you know... [07:36] UMEHARU     My bad. I can't come up with an excuse. [07:38] UMEHARU     All I can say is sorry. [07:40] UMEHARU     I had my eye on a first-year named Inukai-san, [07:43] UMEHARU     but I gave up since she's     hanging out with Nekozuku. [07:46] UMEHARU     He's gloomy and scary. [07:47] YAEKO     Sorry, Magi-kun. Your brother sucks. [07:50] MAGI     I know. [07:51] MAGI     You're classmates with Kyoshiro, huh? [07:54] MOGURA     Small world. [07:56] MAGI     Do you see Miya-chan as a whole person? [08:02] MAGI     Don't you think you shouldn't     be showing us that picture? [08:06] UMEHARU     Miya-chan said being looked at     excites her, so it's okay. [08:11] UMEHARU     We exchange those kinds of messages, too. [08:13] MAGI     What?! Then you're perfect for each other! [08:16] UMEHARU     Her messages are insane, though. [08:18] UMEHARU     She'll send five thousand words     of "I miss you" over and over. [08:21] MAGI     That's actually kind of scary. [08:23] UMEHARU     What should I do? [08:24] MAGI     Don't ask me. [08:26] MAGI     Even if she stabs you, it'll be your own fault. [08:32] MAGI/ID     It would serve you right. [08:34] UMEHARU     What's that face for? [08:36] MOGURA     Are you two done joking around? [08:38] UMEHARU     Oh, sorry. [08:39] UMEHARU     Wait, I haven't introduced myself yet. [08:42] UMEHARU     I'm Magi Umeharu. [08:45] MOGURA     Come to think of it, what's your given name? [08:48] MAGI     Kuriaki. [08:49] MOGURA     Wasn't expecting that. [08:51] MOGURA     Magi Kuriaki, older brother. SIGN    Kuri (Chestnut)     Aki (Fall) SIGN    Ume (Plum)     Haru (Spring) [08:53] MOGURA     Magi Umeharu, younger brother. [08:55] MOGURA     Fall is chestnut season,     and spring is plum season. [08:58] MOGURA     Were you born in the fall and spring? [09:00] UMEHARU     Yeah, that's right. [09:02] MOGURA     Wait, you said you're 21, right? [09:05] MOGURA     If you're a third-year who hasn't turned 22     yet, did you fail to get into college once? [09:09] MAGI     So what if I did? [09:11] UMEHARU     You're sharp. [09:13] MOGURA     I wouldn't say that. [09:14] MAGI/ID     Mogura gains people's trust [09:16] MAGI/ID     like a shady fortune teller showing     off with rapid-fire observations. [09:21] MOGURA     Kuriaki-kun told me some of what happened,     but let me ask you a few questions. [09:25] MAGI     Don't call me that. [09:27] UMEHARU     Sure. It terrifies me, so I'll tell     you whatever you want to know. [09:31] MOGURA     First, tell me about the doll. [09:33] MOGURA     Was it an expensive-looking one     for decoration, or one for kids? [09:38] UMEHARU     For kids, I think? [09:40] UMEHARU     Like the baby dolls you see in commercials. [09:43] MOGURA     Was it new? [09:44] UMEHARU     No, it looked pretty old, like a     kid had played with it for years. [09:49] MOGURA     Next question. [09:50] MOGURA     Did the home have an altar? [09:53] UMEHARU     Yeah. [09:54] UMEHARU     I think that was an altar. [09:56] MOGURA     Were there any photos of a girl besides     Miya-chan on the altar or anywhere else? [10:04] UMEHARU     Come to think of it, [10:06] UMEHARU     I assumed they were pictures of     Miya-chan when she was little, but... [10:10] (Flashback) UMEHARU     Hello. Excuse the intrusion. [10:16] UMEHARU     The photo in the entryway might've     been of a family of four. [10:20] MOGURA     Then most likely the spirit is that girl     in the photo, and that doll was hers. [10:26] MOGURA     Possibly Miya-chan's older or younger sister. [10:29] MOGURA     I thought it might be a cursed doll,     but in this case, [10:33] MOGURA     it's probably just what's keeping     the family mentally stable. [10:37] MOGURA     The spirit's inhabiting that doll they     treasure and living with the family. [10:43] MOGURA     That part's not too scary. [10:47] MOGURA     Why do we find dolls scary, anyway? [10:50] MOGURA     Most people find human dolls     scarier than stuffed animals. [10:55] MOGURA     There's something about     them we find fascinating. [10:59] MOGURA     Originally, dolls were representations     of something else. [11:01] MOGURA     We transferred our own misfortune onto     them, letting them take our place. [11:04] MOGURA     That's the origin of Hina dolls. [11:06] MOGURA     Cursed straw dolls take     the place of the victim. [11:09] MOGURA     Humans recognize dolls as     substitutes for human beings, [11:14] MOGURA     so we think they have a will of their own. [11:15] MOGURA     That's why they're scary. [11:17] MOGURA     Of course, some of 'em have scary faces that     make you wonder why they were made that way. [11:21] MAGI     But why did my brother suddenly     start seeing spirits? [11:25] MOGURA     He's your brother. [11:26] MOGURA     You probably always had the potential for it. [11:28] MOGURA     But seeing is noticing. [11:31] MOGURA     Even if there were a spirit visible in Shibuya, [11:33] MOGURA     most people wouldn't realize it was a spirit. SIGN    Spirit [11:38] MOGURA     But if one showed at a known haunted spot,      most people would claim they saw a spirit. [11:42] MOGURA     Sometimes people notice because they're     in a situation or state of mind [11:46] MOGURA     that makes them look for     something that feels off. [11:48] UMEHARU     But the girl in the photo was young, and the     spirit was around Miya-chan's current age. [11:54] UMEHARU     She was, uh... pretty. [11:57] MOGURA     She could be synced up with Miya-chan     because of a strong attachment. [12:01] MOGURA     She considers herself equal. [12:03] MOGURA     From what I can tell, the family's     odd closeness is evidence of that. [12:08] MOGURA     Turn it on its head, and something will break. [12:10] MOGURA     It seems to me like they're afraid of change. [12:16] MOGURA     And... sorry, but I have to say it. [12:19] MOGURA     Based on what I've heard, there's a     clear difference between the sisters. [12:23] MOGURA     I'm more interested in     everything besides the doll. [12:27] MOGURA     While she's a good girl with her parents, [12:30] MOGURA     Miya-chan is desperate for approval and     has a highly dependent personality. [12:33] MOGURA     Then there's the spirit stuck so firmly     to Miya-chan that it's synced with her. [12:37] MOGURA     The unnaturally smiley and close family. [12:42] MOGURA     The cracks are already starting     to show on the surface. [12:47] MOGURA     So if we look deep down inside,      especially inside Miya-chan... [12:52] MOGURA     What will we find down there? [12:55] MOGURA     If you want confirmation, [12:58] MOGURA     ask Miya-chan for the truth,     but be prepared for it to hurt her. [13:02] MOGURA     If you don't want to get involved,     then don't ask. [13:05] MOGURA     Especially if a spirit is involved. [13:08] MOGURA     You can probably just ask her about the doll. [13:12] MOGURA     Despite everything I said, 99 out of 100     times, the doll would be a trauma thing. [13:18] MOGURA     Asking her about it won't     make her think you're crazy. [13:23] MAGI     You're right. [13:27] UMEHARU     I'll ask her about it. [13:30] UMEHARU     It might hurt her now, but after seeing that, [13:33] UMEHARU     I can't keep acting like I never noticed. [13:39] UMEHARU     Besides, I'm good at listening to girls. [13:43] MAGI     Every year, my old room turns into     a storage room more and more. [13:48] MOGURA     All right! Let's raid the place! [13:50] MIYA     Hello? [13:51] MIYA     I'm so happy you called, Ume-chan. What's up? [13:55] MIYA     Oh, right. The doll. [13:57] MIYA     Sorry. I forgot to explain. [14:00] UMEHARU     No, I'm sorry for bring it up. [14:02] UMEHARU     I wasn't sure if I should ask. [14:03] MIYA     No, I know. It's scary. [14:05] MIYA     It's just become so normal for us. [14:07] MIYA     Sorry. [14:09] UMEHARU/ID     So she was fine with me     asking about it after all. [14:12] MIYA     That was my older sister's doll. [14:15] UMEHARU/ID     He was right. [14:16] UMEHARU     Is she the girl in the photo on the altar? [14:18] MIYA     Yeah. Cute, right? [14:20] MIYA     Her name's Maya. "Ma" as in hemp, and "ya"     the same as mine, with the ear radical. [14:25] MIYA     Miya and Maya. [14:26] MIYA     She was in an accident when she was eight. [14:28] MIYA     I was seven at the time. [14:30] MIYA     Everyone thought she was so cute. [14:33] UMEHARU     Yeah. She was pretty. [14:34] MIYA     Yeah, unlike me. [14:37] UMEHARU     What?! You shouldn't say that! [14:40] UMEHARU     You're both great. [14:42] MIYA     I'm hideous. [14:44] UMEHARU     Hey, uh... why don't you     tell me about your sister? [14:49] UMEHARU     You can tell me whatever you want. [14:52] UMEHARU     If you don't get this stuff out,      it'll fester, you know? [14:59] MIYA     I loved my sister. [15:02] MIYA     They say sisters born a year apart     tend to fight, but she was so nice. [15:07] MIYA     My dad and mom were so sad. [15:10] MIYA     My mom especially had a really     hard time getting over it. [15:14] MIYA     I wish she'd lived. [15:16] MIYA     But there's a part of me that's     glad my pretty sister isn't alive. [15:23] MIYA     Sometimes I wonder if my parents would dote     on me like this if she were still here. [15:30] MIYA     And if she were alive, I wouldn't     want to introduce you to my family. [15:35] MIYA     You'd fall in love with her instead! [15:39] MIYA     All the girls love you. [15:40] MIYA     I don't know how to connect     with you except by being sexy. [15:44] MIYA     But I hate myself for thinking that way. [15:48] MIYA     Sorry for losing my composure. [15:49] MIYA     You must think I'm annoying. [15:52] UMEHARU     Actually, uh... I wonder why     you let it bother you so much. [15:59] MIYA     You're right. Why do I let it bother me? [16:03] MIYA     Probably because... [16:04] (Flashback) MOGURA     What will we find down there? [16:07] MIYA     "Why'd it have to be the cute older sister?" [16:09] MIYA     When my sister died, that's what my uncle said. [16:13] (Flashback) MIYA UNCLE     Why'd it have to be the cute older sister? [16:17] MIYA     He said, "Why'd it have to     be the cute older sister?" [16:30] MIYA     That uncle's sick right now. [16:33] MIYA     It's not looking good. [16:35] UMEHARU     Come to think of it, you said something     about visiting him when I went to hang out. [16:40] MIYA     Yeah. My whole family dutifully     visits him regularly. [16:45] MIYA     But I feel terrible that I'm not     actually sad on the inside. [16:49] MIYA     I genuinely want to get along     with my family and uncle, [16:53] MIYA     so I hate that I'm like this. [16:56] MIYA     Until the day my mom stops     taking care of that doll, [16:59] MIYA     I have to be a good girl like a doll, too. [17:03] MAGI     Mogura, stop eavesdropping! [17:06] UMEHARU     I don't think that's your burden to bear. [17:09] UMEHARU     Honestly, you should probably     put the doll to rest, too. [17:13] MIYA     One second. [17:14] MIYA     What is it, Mom? [17:15] MIYA     What? Why? [17:17] MIYA     It was on the chair this morning! [17:19] MIYA     Oh, sorry. [17:20] MIYA     Apparently my mom's panicking     because the doll's missing. [17:24] MIYA     I gotta go, okay? [17:27] MOGURA     It's missing? [17:28] MOGUYA     Hey! Where's your uncle now? [17:31] MIYA     At the New Yatsume Hospital. [17:32] MIYA     Wait, who is this? [17:34] MOGURA     New Yatsume Hospital... [17:35] MOGURA     That's west of here. [17:38] MAGI     Mogura? [17:38] MIYA     Wait, what? Who was that? [17:40] MIYA     Did he just go to the hospital? Why? [17:42] MIYA     Wait, I'm scared! I'm going, too! [17:45] MAGI     Let's go, too. [17:46] MAGI     Does he know how to get there without a map? [17:49] YAEKO     He's lived without a cell phone until now,     so he might have an internal map of the city. [17:54] MAGI     That must be it. [17:55] MAGI     Come to think of it, he bragged about knowing     most of the phone numbers of the nearby shops. SIGN    So annoying SIGN    Blah Blah SIGN    Blah Blah [18:01] YAEKO     That's amazing! That's an ancient power! [18:03] YAEKO     But it's also an annoying "back in my day" brag! [18:06] MAGI     He's fast, so we'd better hurry. [18:09] UMEHARU     What's going on? I'm going with you. [18:11] UMEHARU     Wait, did you hear all that? [18:14] YAEKO     Uh, yeah. Pretty clearly. Sorry. [18:16] MAGI     Mogura was actively trying to listen in. [18:19] UMEHARU     So was Miya-chan's sister's spirit     watching over her out of concern? [18:25] MAGI     I'd be worried too if my     sister turned out like that. [18:28] YAEKO     Relatives can be shockingly insensitive     about the things they say, but... [18:35] UMEHARU     Care to share your female perspective? [18:37] YAEKO     I'm not sure, but my gut tells me... [18:42] YAEKO     It's hard to put in words, but     this is a deep-seated problem. [18:46] YAEKO     If I were Miya-chan's sister, and something     were keeping me in this world, [18:52] YAEKO     would it really be as simple as a     desire to watch over her? [19:04] MIYA UNCLE     Maya? [19:05] MIYA UNCLE     I see. You're Maya, aren't you? [19:07] MIYA UNCLE     Have you appeared in my     dreams as a grown-up girl? [19:12] MIYA UNCLE     You were supposed to grow up this pretty, huh? [19:15] MIYA UNCLE     Miya and her family were so sad. [19:19] MIYA UNCLE     I was sad, too. [19:20] MIYA UNCLE     But it looks like I'm crossing over now, too. [19:34] MAYA     I can finally touch you. [19:39] MAYA     I've been waiting for this moment... [19:41] MAYA     You piece of shit. [19:43] MAGI     Mogura! [19:45] MAGI     We finally caught you. [19:47] MAGI     What's going on? [19:49] MOGURA     I'm worried about the uncle, [19:51] MOGURA     but I'm worried about her older sister, too. [19:56] MAYA     Your words turned Miya into a living corpse! [19:59] MAYA     That triggered everything! [20:02] MAYA     I felt so, so sorry for her! [20:06] MAYA     I stayed in this world     because I hated you so much! [20:13] MAYA     I've been waiting for this moment! [20:15] MAYA     While you were healthy, no amount of     speaking to or hitting you seemed to work! [20:20] MAYA     But apparently it was slowly affecting you. [20:23] MAYA     You grew weaker and weaker. [20:26] MAYA     I could drag you closer and closer. [20:28] MAYA     Now I can even hurt you! [20:32] MIYA UNCLE     What's going on, Maya? [20:34] MIYA UNCLE     I don't understand why you're so upset. [20:36] MIYA UNCLE     What's wrong with you? [20:38] MIYA UNCLE     Come on, Maya. Smile. [20:39] MIYA UNCLE     Don't say such nasty things. [20:42] MIYA UNCLE     You're ruining your cute face. [20:44] MIYA UNCLE     Come on, smile. Smile for me. [20:46] MIYA UNCLE     Smile. [20:48] MAYA     The way you talk pisses me off! [20:52] MAYA     Don't talk like that when you're     not prepared for the consequences! [20:59] MAYA     If you're going to be so nasty,     you'd better be prepared for it! [21:01] MAYA     If you're not, then keep your mouth shut! [21:04] MAYA     You're worth less than cockroach shit! [21:06] MAYA     I'll stuff your mouth with     rocks and sew it shut! [21:11] MAYA     You never said anything interesting     at New Year's, idiot! [21:17] MAYA     We were all just being considerate     because of your age! [21:21] MAYA     Did you know that?! [21:26] MAYA     You deserve to meet your end at the hands     of the niece you thought of as a doll. [21:35] MAYA     This is the most interesting     moment of your whole life! [21:40] MAYA     I'll give you my biggest smile ever! [21:45] MAYA     Miya, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! [21:49] MAYA     The least I can do is shorten his life! [21:53] MAYA     You think this is humiliating?! [21:56] MAYA     Mortifying? Unfair?

SIGN    Episode 6     "Brothers and Sisters" [01:36] MOGURA     It's dangerous to dwell on your     emotions in isolation. [01:39] MOGURA     It makes them fester. [01:41] MOGURA     That's one of the ways     an evil spirit is created. [01:44] MOGURA     She inhabited a small world,     interacting and speaking with no one— [01:47] MOGURA     in this case, shackled by her family. [01:50] MOGURA     Evil spirits are people whose     emotions were allowed to fester! [01:55] NURSE     Hey, wait! You can't go in there! [01:58] UMEHARU     I'll talk to her! [01:59] MOGURA     Thanks, little brother! [02:04] MOGURA     I don't know which room they're in. [02:05] MAGI     Idiot! [02:06] MOGURA     This hospital is huge. Where are they?

[02:19] MOGURA     Is this coward performing a threat display     in the direction of "something scary"? [02:23] MOGURA     Wow, he's like Kitaro's yokai antenna! [02:26] MAGI/ID     Even cowards are useful sometimes. [02:29] MOGURA     He's like Bubbles from the Michael     Jackson Mega Drive game. [02:33] MOGURA     I played it a ton when they     had it at the candy shop. [02:35] MAGI     I have no idea what you're trying to say! [02:41] MAYA     Time to die, old man! SIGN    Shrieeek SIGN    Shrieeek [02:47] MAYA     Who the hell are you? [02:49] MOGURA     If you do that, you'll be sent to Hell! [02:52] MOGURA     I've seen lots of spirits like you! [02:54] MOGURA     Did you know? [02:56] MOGURA     Unlike in this world, trials in the afterlife     are fiercely impartial and harsh! [03:00] MAYA     So what?! [03:02] MAYA     I'm gonna teach him a lesson     for treating us like nothing! [03:07] MOGURA     Magi, I bet you think it'd be quickest to have     one of the Nekozuku cats eat this spirit. [03:13] MOGURA     Well, so do I. [03:16] MOGURA     I try to think that way. [03:18] MOGURA     But I find that hard to swallow,     especially after hearing what happened! [03:23] MOGURA     Plus, there's something the     Nekozuku family can't do! [03:27] MOGURA     And that's this! [03:43] MAYA     Why? [03:44] MAYA     He's getting better. [03:50] MAYA     Damn! [03:51] MAYA     Damn, damn, damn! [03:52] MAYA     What did you do?! [03:54] MOGURA     Listen, miss. [03:55] MOGURA     This guy's probably not as     mentally strong as you think. [03:59] MOGURA     He's probably emotionally destroyed right now. [04:02] MOGURA     He'll have to live another decade-plus      after experiencing that. [04:06] MOGURA     That's hell. It's enough. [04:08] MAYA     Will that save Miya? [04:10] MOGURA     No! [04:11] MOGURA     Whether he lives or dies, it won't save her! [04:14] MOGURA     He may be the one who started it, [04:15] MOGURA     but now there are all kinds     of things feeding into it! [04:19] MOGURA     There's nothing you or I     can do about your sister. [04:22] MOGURA     I'm sorry about that! [04:24] MOGURA     I just want to give you one     less reason to go to Hell. [04:27] MOGURA     That's all I can do! [04:29] MOGURA     I can't interfere between     you sisters or your family. [04:33] MOGURA     Besides, I just met your little sister. [04:36] MOGURA     But I won't let someone who's trying     to save a person become a bad guy! [04:40] MOGURA     I won't stand for it, [04:42] MOGURA     even though it's one of the     world's unsolvable problems! [04:45] MAGI/ID     In that moment, I understood why     he's never gathered enough flames. [04:49] MAGI/ID     At the same time, I wondered     what he was projecting. [04:53] MIYA     Sis? [04:56] MIYA     It looks just like her. [05:01] MAYA     Miya. SIGN    Office [05:03] UMEHARU     I got in so much trouble. [05:05] UMEHARU     That nurse was cute, though. [05:07] YAEKO     Thank you, little brother panda—     I mean, Ume-chan. [05:11] YAEKO     I hope they're okay. [05:14] YAEKO     Oh, Mogura-san's not a bad guy or anything. [05:18] UMEHARU     It's okay. I know. [05:20] UMEHARU     Despite how he seems, my brother's     a good judge of character. [05:23] UMEHARU     He wouldn't bring over anyone really bad. [05:26] UMEHARU     My brother's surprisingly bad     at managing his relationships. [05:29] UMEHARU     He tends to get dragged into things. [05:31] YAEKO     I know what you mean. [05:32] UMEHARU     I'm good at relationships, so I know when     to stick my nose into people's business. [05:36] UMEHARU     That's why I don't mind talking to girls.     If anything, I enjoy it. [05:40] UMEHARU     People often say my brother's awkward     while I'm not, but it's not like that. [05:41] OLDER WOMAN     You've grown so much. [05:47] UMEHARU     Unlike me, he gets involved in situations     that don't benefit or hurt him, [05:52] UMEHARU     so it seems like he makes a lot of mistakes. [05:54] UMEHARU     He's actually just stupid. [05:56] UMEHARU     There's a part of me that envies him,     but I also get annoyed watching him. [06:01] YAEKO     Your brother's got a lot more baggage     about you than you do about him. [06:04] UMEHARU     I know. [06:05] UMEHARU     Oh, don't tell my brother I said that. [06:08] UMEHARU     By the way, that Mogura guy's     clothes are pretty ratty. [06:11] UMEHARU     Is he okay? [06:12] YAEKO     Uh, yeah. [06:15] UMEHARU     I saw someone like him a long time ago. [06:20] (Flashback) BOY A     Ume! [06:21] (Flashback) GIRL A     Umeboshi! [06:23] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI     Hey! [06:26] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI     What'd my little brother do? [06:27] (Flashback) GIRL A     Your brother always plays with     girls, even though he's a boy. [06:32] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI     Explain to me exactly what's wrong with that. [06:36] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI     If you can't, then you're just being bullies! [06:39] UMEHARU     Now that I think about it, he was always a     pedant who spoke before his brain caught up. [06:44] YAEKO     Yeah, I can picture that. [06:46] UMEHARU     He'd always end up crying, though. [06:49] YAEKO     I can picture that too. SIGN    Animal Candies [06:58] (Flashback) MOGURA     You're awesome! SIGN    Animal Candies     Per Candy ¥500~1000 [07:02] (Flashback) MOGURA     I present you with the First Order of Merit. [07:04] (Flashback) MOGURA     Here you go. [07:05] (Flashback) MOGURA     I made those. [07:07] (Flashback) MOGURA     Tell me how great they are. [07:09] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI     Uh, they're very good. [07:11] (Flashback) CHILD UMEHARU     Thank you. [07:13] (Flashback) MOGURA     Look at me, kids!

[07:21] (Flashback) MOGURA     Let the devil take those lame kids. [07:24] (Flashback) MOGURA     Hang in there, but don't strain yourselves. [07:27] UMEHARU     That guy's clothes were ratty, too. [07:30] UMEHARU     I suddenly remembered him. [07:32] UMEHARU     Now that I think about it, it was sketchy     to accept candy from a stranger. [07:36] UMEHARU     Oh, sorry. There's no point to that story. [07:39] YAEKO     I think the point is it's a good     thing you had your brother. [07:43] MIYA     Is that you, Sister? It is, isn't it? [07:46] MAYA     Miya? You can see me? [07:49] MIYA     It is you. You really are beautiful. [07:52] MIYA     I wish I were beautiful, too. [07:54] MIYA     How can I be beautiful like you? [07:58] MAGI     You can't. [07:59] MAGI     You don't need to be beautiful anyway. [08:01] MAGI     That's just lip service, though. [08:03] MOGURA     That's right. [08:04] MOGURA     Also, I hate to say it,     but I can't bring back the dead. [08:09] MOGURA     You should head to the afterlife on your     own before someone comes looking for you. [08:13] MOGURA     Act like you just got lost or something. [08:16] MOGURA     Your uncle can't cause any     harm for now, so hurry. [08:21] MIYA     Harm? [08:22] MIYA     Oh, I get it. [08:24] MIYA     You spooked our uncle to     give him an earful, right? [08:27] MIYA     That's why he's making that face. [08:30] MIYA     Thanks. [08:31] MIYA     That was laughably cruel. [08:36] MAYA     Yeah. [08:38] MAYA     It was. [08:39] MIYA     By the way, Uncle, should you be up? [08:43] MIYA     Should I go get the doctor? [08:44] MAGI     What? The doctor's coming? [08:47] MIYA     What? [08:48] MOGURA     Uh, you know, [08:49] MOGURA     hang in there, but don't strain yourselves! [08:51] MAGI     This is bad! We should go! [08:51] MOGURA     Don't go too crazy over your family either! [08:52] MIYA     Seriously, who are you? [08:54] UMEHARU     What? Bro, you're leaving? [08:55] MIYA     What? Ume-chan? [08:58] MIYA     Who was that guy? [09:00] MIYA     Huh? [09:03] MIYA     Sis? [09:07] UNCLE     Miya, I want to apologize. [09:09] MIYA     What? [09:11] MIYA     Apologize for what? [09:13] UNCLE     I can't remember. [09:15] UNCLE     I just know I want to apologize. [09:17] MIYA     What's the point if you don't know what for? [09:22] MIYA     Uncle, I said a lot of     things to the boy I like. [09:27] MIYA     It's different when     you say it out loud, huh? [09:30] MIYA     He might not like me anymore. [09:32] MIYA     What's this doll doing here, anyway? [09:36] MIYA     You know, this doll... [09:39] MIYA     You're Mom's older brother, right? [09:41] MIYA     Could you convince her to     put this doll to rest? [09:46] MIYA     She has to someday. [09:50] MIYA     She can't stay that way forever. [10:05] SHIO     Senpai, are you heading home this way, too? [10:10] SHIO     Oh, right. What's your astrological sign? [10:13] KYOSHIRO     Leo. [10:14] SHIO     This week's advice for Leo is... [10:16] SHIO     "Watch out for interpersonal issues!" [10:19] KYOSHIRO     Is that a horoscope? [10:21] KYOSHIRO     I don't like horoscopes. [10:23] SHIO     But they're fun. [10:25] KYOSHIRO     To be precise, I don't like people     who get too invested in horoscopes. [10:28] SHIO     It's just for fun. [10:31] SHIO     And invested? [10:32] SHIO     Are there people who take this seriously? [10:35] SHIO     Are there actually people who base all     their important decisions on horoscopes? [10:40] SHIO     People in my family ask their muscles first. [10:43] SHIO     Pump that iron! [10:45] KYOSHIRO     There are. [10:47] KYOSHIRO     What does asking your muscles mean, anyway? [10:49] KYOSHIRO     That sounds way more unusual. [10:51] SHIO     Uh-oh. Leos have the worst luck this week. [10:53] KYOSHIRO     I don't like horoscopes because     they make people say that stuff. [10:56] SHIO     You'll be okay as long as     you wear something black. [11:00] KYOSHIRO     Then I've got it handled. Nabeshima's black. [11:02] SHIO     Sounds like you take horoscopes     pretty seriously. [11:05] KYOSHIRO     Horoscopes are scarier when they're right. [11:09] KYOSHIRO     Later. [11:10] SHIO     Oh, okay. SIGN    Nekozuku [11:19] SHIO     What? This place is an ordinary family home? [11:23] SHIO     I thought it was the headquarters for     some organization or a rice granary. [11:28] SHIO     Your house belongs in a bishojo     horror-themed porn game. [11:33] KYOSHIRO     What are you talking about? [11:36] MOGURA     Hey, welcome back. [11:38] MOGURA     Hey, Shio-chan. [11:39] MOGURA     I see you're possessed again.     Give me some flames. [11:42] MOGURA     Why don't you stop in? [11:44] MOGURA     You can have some rich people tea snacks. [11:47] KYOSHIRO     Do you know what "restraint" means? [11:49] MOGURA     And normal spirits stay away since     they can tell bakeneko live here. [11:55] MOGURA     It's nice and quiet. [11:56] MOGURA     You can enjoy not being possessed for once. [12:00] SHIO     So it's a house with a protective barrier? Cool! [12:04] KYOSHIRO     It's not, but I guess you     can think of it that way. [12:07] (Flashback) WOMAN SPIRIT     Wow, sonny. You can even solve     this difficult problem? [12:11] KYOSHIRO     While I'm at home, I don't get exhausted     by spirits interfering with my life. [12:16] KYOSHIRO     Our family needs a place to relax. [12:19] KYOSHIRO     Which is why you two should leave. [12:21] KYOKO     Oh. [12:23] KYOKO     Kyo-chan, is this your friend? [12:25] SHIO     I'm Inukai Shio. [12:27] SHIO     Are you a master of barriers     and Senpai's master? [12:31] KYOKO     No, I'm his mother, Nekozuku Kyoko. [12:34] KYOKO     Are you the girl who rescued my     son at the hundred yen shop? [12:47] KYOKO     Shio-chan, do you like cake?! [12:49] SHIO     I love cake! [12:53] SHIO/ID     Did she just pause for a second? [12:56] SHIO/ID     It's like she was looking off into space. [12:58] KYOKO     Would you like to stay for some cake? [13:01] KYOKO     I just baked one. [13:02] SHIO     Yes, I'll have cake! SIGN    Hooray [13:04] MOGURA     Let's get down to business, Kyo-chan. [13:07] SHIO     This house is so nice!

[13:19] TOSHIRO     We owe him our lives. [13:20] TOSHIRO     The agreement demands that you put up with him. [13:23] TOSHIRO     After all, Oshiro-jiisan said     we'd do anything for him. [13:27] KYOSHIRO     There has to be a limit! [13:28] KYOSHIRO     I don't live to be harassed by him! [13:31] KYOSHIRO     What's he doing here, anyway?!

[13:50] MOGURA     Oh, I know. [13:51] MOGURA     I'll tell you about how I think     Tanaka-san's wife might be cheating. [13:55] KYOSHIRO     I couldn't care less. [13:57] KYOKO     I'd like to hear about Tanaka-san! [13:59] KYOSHIRO     Don't express interest! [14:00] MOGURA     C'mon, Toshiro. [14:03] MOGURA     Teach your son to have more respect for me.

SIGN    You Are Here [14:31] MOGURA     Say, how much property tax     do you pay on this place? [14:34] TOSHIRO     That's a drastic change of subject.

[15:33] SHIO     Ma'am, you must really love your husband. [15:36] KYOKO     I do. [15:37] KYOKO     I want Toshiro-san to shower me     with attention for my whole life.

[16:16] SHIO     It's great that your mom's so energetic. [16:19] KYOKO     That's right. I'm always full of life. [16:22] KYOKO     And Toshiro-san understands what it's     like to see things others don't. [16:27] SHIO     Ma'am, you can see spirits, too? [16:30] TOSHIRO     Well, Kyoko is, uh... [16:33] TOSHIRO     Actually, don't worry about it. [16:40] SAKURAKO     Kyoko-san, Kyoko-san! [16:41] SAKURAKO     Hello. Please... [16:43] SAKURAKO     Tell me my fortune! [16:45] SAKURAKO     Anyway, Kyoko-san, I've had     terrible luck this week. [16:49] SAKURAKO     I broke a plate, I stubbed my     pinkie toe, my flowers wilted, [16:53] SAKURAKO     and I've been having terrible headaches. [16:56] SAKURAKO     I must be stuck with some terrible luck again. [16:59] SAKURAKO     This always happens. [17:00] SAKURAKO     I'd like you to tell me my fortune again. [17:03] SAKURAKO     I'm begging you. Please help me! [17:06] MOGURA     Fortune-telling, huh? [17:09] MOGURA     Hey, my life line's short! What's up with that? [17:12] KYOSHIRO     Don't ask me. [17:14] MOGURA     That's Konosaka Sakurako-san. [17:16] MOGURA     Her husband's an executive at a foreign company, [17:18] MOGURA     and they've got two kids in     private boarding schools. [17:21] MOGURA     She's what people used to call     a lady from a good family. [17:24] MOGURA     She's also neighbors with     Tanaka-san the cheater. [17:27] KYOSHIRO     Where'd you get that information? [17:30] MOGURA     You can learn most things from Yoshida-san,     the cashier at Supermarket Miyajima. SIGN    Speaker Yoshida [17:35] KYOSHIRO     Seriously? Yoshida-san's crazy. [17:37] SAKURAKO     It's so encouraging, since you also     have high school-aged children. [17:41] SAKURAKO     You're incredible. [17:42] SAKURAKO     Please help me. [17:45] KYOKO     I've told you countless times, Sakurako-san, [17:47] KYOKO     but I can't tell fortunes. [17:50] KYOKO     I just see strange things. SIGN    Eye SIGN    Flip it around, and it's a cat's eye SIGN    The eye of Horus sees all SIGN    Or is it Kassandra of Troy? [17:59] SHIO     See strange things? Like what? [18:02] KYOSHIRO     How should I put it? [18:04] KYOSHIRO     Did you notice a weird pause when     you met my mom in the entrance? SIGN    Sluuurp [18:08] SHIO     Yes. [18:09] KYOSHIRO     Apparently she sees something     like prophetic dreams sometimes. [18:13] KYOSHIRO     I don't really get it, but she says     they're still or moving images. [18:17] KYOSHIRO     Not even she knows when she'll see them. [18:20] TOSHIRO     I ask that you treat this all as fantasy, [18:24] TOSHIRO     but Kyoko has always made friends with     everyone extraordinarily quickly. [18:28] TOSHIRO     Most people's first impression is that     she's crazy but likable for some reason. [18:31] TOSHIRO     I've learned from watching her     that she's a genius at empathy. [18:35] TOSHIRO     People like those who understand them. [18:37] TOSHIRO     In other words, people who quickly     infer what we're thinking and feeling. [18:42] TOSHIRO     Not in the sense that they say things that flatter us, [18:44] TOSHIRO     but that they won't say     things that truly offend us. [18:48] TOSHIRO     If the brain of someone with     such an extraordinary EQ [18:51] TOSHIRO     occasionally experienced     bugged visual information, [18:54] TOSHIRO     they might instantly read a     person's expression, voice, speech, [18:57] TOSHIRO     build, behavior, sweat, and context, [19:00] TOSHIRO     and their brain would     subconsciously produce images [19:05] TOSHIRO     of what may happen to them in the future. [19:09] TOSHIRO     That's my theory. [19:12] TOSHIRO     We had her examined once long ago. [19:14] TOSHIRO     They found nothing wrong with her,     but her brain was rather active. [19:18] (Flashback) KYOKO     I'm just glad I'm healthy! [19:20] TOSHIRO     So it's not fortune-telling. [19:22] TOSHIRO     She's just predicting possibilities. [19:24] TOSHIRO     But perhaps because she's so empathetic,     they're frequently correct. [19:27] SHIO     So, in other words... [19:30] TOSHIRO     Just think of it as "she sees strange things." [19:32] MOGURA     It's another case of "seeing is noticing." [19:35] MOGURA     The way psychologists and counselors speculate [19:37] MOGURA     about a person's disposition     and thought processes [19:40] MOGURA     makes them seem like mind-readers sometimes. [19:43] MOGURA     It's just about noticing things others don't. [19:46] TOSHIRO     That's not exactly correct,     but it's close enough. [19:49] KYOSHIRO     It's not harmful, so just think     of it as an idiosyncrasy. [19:52] SHIO     Got it! [19:53] KYOSHIRO     I really appreciate how     quickly you accepted that. [19:55] MOGURA     Kyoko-chan's interacted with me     since she married a Nekozuku, [19:59] MOGURA     but she still can't see spirits. [20:01] MOGURA     Maybe her brain decided she'd lose     it if she saw anything else strange. [20:07] TOSHIRO     We shared quite a bit with you, but we     don't typically tell others about this. [20:11] TOSHIRO     It's not worth the effort. [20:12] TOSHIRO     But with Konosaka-san... [20:17] (Flashback) KYOKO     Hello, Sakurako-san. [20:19] (Flashback) KYOKO     How's your cat Ricky doing? [20:21] (Flashback) SAKURAKO     Oh, hello. He's doing well. SIGN    Crash Hot Spot     Watch For Accidents [20:32] (Flashback) SAKURAKO     I trip so easily. [20:37] (Flashback) KYOKO     Wait, Sakurako-san! [20:39] (Flashback) KYOKO     You'll trip over a rock and get hit by a truck! [20:43] TOSHIRO     That correct prediction has     backfired in certain ways. [20:47] TOSHIRO     Since then, she's been wanting to know if     she's seen anything else at every turn. [20:53] MOGURA     She's not a bad person. [20:55] MOGURA     She's just prone to obsession. [20:57] MOGURA     She once fell into some shady religion... [21:00] MOGURA     According to Yoshida-san. SIGN    Popular For Some Reason      Speaker Yoshida [21:02] TOSHIRO     Where'd you acquire that     middle-aged lady skill? [21:06] MOGURA     When you live a long time, [21:07] MOGURA     you realize your mind will     break unless you learn from the [21:10] MOGURA     mental toughness of middle-aged ladies. [21:12] KYOSHIRO     Don't use pop psychology to say dark things. [21:15] TOSHIRO     All people, not just her, will believe     something if it's true only 20% of the time. [21:21] TOSHIRO     For example, even a horoscope     written for the public SIGN    Your personality is…               Kind      Introverted      Capricious      Can be a contrarian but actually honest      Shy      Don't particularly dislike people, want to make friends      Sometimes chatty      Occasionally struggle to express your thoughts      Sometimes bold      A little selfish      Life of the party [21:25] TOSHIRO     is bound to be correct in some     cases when written like this. [21:27] TOSHIRO     Fortune-telling itself isn't bad. [21:29] TOSHIRO     Having someone listen to you     is medicine for the mind. [21:33] TOSHIRO     But when those prone to assumptions     become obsessed, it can be dangerous. SIGN    You stole my work. I'm going to sue you.     The first sentence on page 162 is a blatant ripoff.      I demand an apology.

I can tell, and it lights my heart on fire!     This must be fate! Especially that one expression! [21:43] TOSHIRO     Wh-Who are you? SIGN    There's always one mild student stalker [21:45] MOGURA     Yeah, people tend to get     attached to guys like you. [21:51] TOSHIRO     In other words, it's human nature to make     strong assumptions based on small things. [21:55] TOSHIRO     And if we witness a prediction      that's 90% correct, [22:00] TOSHIRO     we're bound to think it's a miracle or a god.

[09:05] SAKURAKO     Exorcise? [09:09] MOGURA     Animals are so quick to flee! [09:12] SAKURAKO     I feel like my headache is gone. [09:14] SAKURAKO     Your son possesses supernatural powers, too. [09:18] SAKURAKO     He's also a very good son. [09:20] SAKURAKO     I'm so pathetic. [09:23] SAKURAKO     Kyoko-san, I envy you. [09:28] MOGURA     You finally said what you really feel. [09:31] SAKURAKO     What? [09:32] MOGURA     I heard what you said earlier. [09:34] MOGURA     You're too accepting and too reliant     on others, but you're a good person. [09:40] SAKURAKO     You were listening? Why? [09:42] SAKURAKO     Also, who are you? [09:44] MOGURA     But being too good a person     isn't a good thing either. [09:47] MOGURA     Your misfortune's been exorcised,     but you're not in the clear. [09:50] MOGURA     Unless you change, those nasty     creeps will come right back. [09:54] MOGURA     Both the living and the dead. [09:56] MOGURA     You gotta learn to complain and get mad. [09:58] SAKURAKO     But my husband doesn't like that. [10:01] SAKURAKO     Besides, I'm not in a position to complain. [10:05] MOGURA     Yeah, that's what everyone says. [10:07] MOGURA     I've seen plenty of men and women like you. [10:11] MOGURA     You've turned into Pavlov's dog. [10:13] MOGURA     I guess these days they call it     psychological abuse and brainwashing. [10:16] MOGURA     Does this ring a bell? [10:17] MOGURA     Circumstances vary, but verbally     abusive and domineering husbands [10:20] MOGURA     and super-hysterical wives     are textbook examples. [10:23] MOGURA     And they're generally with     very patient partners. [10:27] MOGURA     Also, forgive me if I'm wrong,     but going back a bit... [10:31] MOGURA     Were you raised to be especially     patient with your mother or father? [10:39] KYOSHIRO     Ma'am, don't put your trust in the wrong things. [10:42] KYOSHIRO     I hate "accurate fortunes" that rob people     of the chance to solve their own problems. [10:49] KYOSHIRO     Our family's fate to live short     lives was forcibly changed [10:54] KYOSHIRO     by the sacrifice of one kind person. [10:57] KYOSHIRO     I find it pathetic, [10:59] KYOSHIRO     so I solve all my other problems myself. [11:03] KYOSHIRO     Even when I can't, I find a way. [11:08] MOGURA     I can't agree, Kyo-chan. [11:09] MOGURA     Sorry to put a damper on that inspiring speech, [11:11] MOGURA     but that's asking for too much too quickly.

[21:19] MOGURA     What kind of festival is it? [21:21] YAEKO     It's based on a local legend. [21:24] YAEKO     Broadly speaking, it's an offering and     purification festival to quell the merfolk. [21:29] YAEKO     According to legends, the merfolk bewitch     people and drag them into the sea. [21:33] MOGURA     Merfolk, huh? [21:34] MOGURA     The coasts have lots of strange     legends about sea monsters. [21:37] YAEKO     Right? It's a reflection     of the dangers of the sea. [21:45] YAEKO     Um, Mogura-san. [21:47] YAEKO     Would you like to come, too? [21:51] MOGURA     Why? [21:52] YAEKO     My great-grandfather Kirihara Yuhachi... [21:57] YAEKO     He's still alive. He's 97 years old this year.

[02:04] YAEKO     I just figured he was a deeply     devout man from the country, [02:07] YAEKO     but you talked about how you     got us involved in all this, [02:11] YAEKO     and that's the reason we can see things now. [02:14] YAEKO     But there are many ways a person     can become involved, aren't there? [02:18] YAEKO     Even friendship or helping     someone counts as involvement. [02:22] YAEKO     I imagine it also depends on the person, [02:24] YAEKO     but if that's the case, it'd make sense     if my great-grandfather could see things. [02:29] YAEKO     Would you be willing to meet him? [02:32] YAEKO     And these days, he seems to spend more     time in the past than the present... [02:36] YUHACHI     We're transporting lumber     to construct the camp again? [02:41] YUHACHI     It's exhausting work since I'm so small.

[02:59] YAEKO     No, maybe I want to see what     will happen if you meet him. Sorry. [03:04] YAEKO     Is that a no? [03:05] YAEKO     Would it be dangerous? [03:07] YAEKO     Also, my hometown's seafood is delicious,     and you can eat all you want. [03:11] MOGURA     I want to go. [03:13] MOGURA     I want to go, but there's a problem. [03:15] MOGURA     I can't afford to travel! [03:17] YAEKO     I'll pay for it! [03:18] MOGURA     I can't make a student pay for me. [03:21] MAGI     What about all the food you made me pay for?

[04:57] (Flashback) YAEKO     We'll treat you to seafood. What do you think? [04:59] (Flashback) SHIO     I'm in! [05:00] (Flashback) TOSHIRO     There's no telling what people would say     if I accompanied a college girl by myself, [05:05] (Flashback) TOSHIRO     so I'd appreciate you making     this a family vacation. [05:07] (Flashback) KYOKO     Hooray! [05:09] YAEKO     Shio-chan, did you get your parents' permission? [05:12] SHIO     It was no problem. [05:13] SHIO     Our family motto is "make yourself     stronger by trying everything." [05:16] SHIO     I'll even take on a great white shark. [05:19] YAEKO     That's impressive. [05:20] YAEKO     Even Jason Statham could barely make that claim. [05:23] SHIO     Don't worry. "Shio" means "merfolk." SIGN    Shio SIGN    Merfolk [05:25] SHIO     My parents named me that     hoping I'd be a good swimmer. [05:28] YAEKO     That's what they meant? [05:30] SHIO     I'm planning to get certified as a lifeguard. [05:33] SHIO     I went to China with my older     sister to train in martial arts [05:35] SHIO     and Guam to practice firing     with live ammunition. [05:37] SHIO     I do all kinds of training. [05:39] YAEKO     You have an older sister? [05:41] SHIO     Yes. She bakes baguettes for me every morning. [05:45] SHIO     Hey, that rock is impressive. [05:47] YAEKO     Don't lean out too far. [05:50] YAEKO     The tidal currents here are unique. [05:53] YAEKO     Sometimes outsiders have accidents when     they swim carelessly in the water. [05:57] YAEKO     That contributes to the locals'     worship of merfolk and the sea. [06:02] MOGURA     Now that you mention it, people who      live by the sea rarely swim in it. [06:05] YAEKO     Yeah, that is common! [06:08] MAGI     Like how a lot of people born in     Tokyo almost never visit Shibuya. [06:12] YAEKO     They don't?!

[06:52] MAGI/ID     Somewhere to live away from the eyes of     the Japanese police, run-down as it is. [06:56] MAGI/ID     I don't understand it,     but he's friendly with that woman. [07:00] MAGI/ID     She even gives him candy. [07:02] MAGI/ID     If it were me, I wouldn't     want to leave that place. [07:05] MAGI/ID     But isn't falling into that     mental state the true cage? [07:10] MAGI/ID     I'd definitely lose my mind. [07:13] MAGI/ID     No, he probably actually has. [07:16] MAGI/ID     He's such a busybody despite that. [07:18] MAGI/ID     Everyone ends up asking him for favors. [07:21] MAGI/ID     Even though he's naïvely ethical,     opportunistic, and deeply human, [07:25] MAGI/ID     he'll make sacrifices to help     others despite his circumstances [07:30] MAGI/ID     in a way that's superhuman. [07:33] MAGI/ID     It makes me wonder... [07:34] MAGI/ID     Is our meddling really helping him? [07:38] YAEKO     Magi-kun, we're here. [07:41] YAEKO & SHIO     Yay! [07:47] MAGI     Um, shouldn't you tell your family you're here? [07:51] YAEKO     What? [07:53] YAEKO     You're such a city kid, Magi-kun. [07:56] YAEKO     At the moment we disembarked, [07:58] YAEKO     "Kirihara's daughter brought     outsiders to the island. [08:01] YAEKO     One boy her age, two roughly high school-aged     children, and three people in their 30s. [08:07] YAEKO     No criminal records."

I don't want to wait alone! [10:33] MAGI     You weren't lying when you bragged     about going 70 kmph on a bicycle. [10:39] MAGI/ID     Is that where they're holding the festival? [10:42] MAGI/ID     The sea looks so far down. [10:43] MAGI/ID     I guess Yae-chan's family lives     in the middle of the island. SIGN    Hey! Yaeko!     Welcome home!

[11:35] YAEKO     But my great-grandpa seems lively today. [11:38] YAEKO     I think it's because we have so many guests. [11:40] MOGURA     Sure. Then let's enjoy the festival together. [11:45] MAGI     This place is huge. [11:46] MAGI     Does this whole area belong to your family? [11:50] YAEKO     It's just big is all. It's not worth much.

[12:57] YAEKO     The actual festival is tomorrow. [12:59] YAEKO     That's the merfolk statue. It's the     main attraction of the festival. [13:04] MAGI     So it's that kind of merfolk. [13:06] YAEKO     You're allowed to take pictures. [13:08] MAGI     Great. A few photos would     be perfect for my report. [13:12] YAEKO     Right? Who doesn't pad their     reports with pictures? [13:16] YAEKO     Shooting that statue with arrows     is the highlight of the festival. [13:19] YAEKO     After that, it's set on fire. [13:21] MOGURA     I see. For warding off misfortune.

[13:34] MAGI     What is that? [13:35] MAGI     I'm more interested in that than the main event. [13:37] YAEKO     It's best to involve as many participants     as possible, which is why guests are welcome. [13:42] MAGI     Why don't you ever explain the     reasons behind the island's rules? [13:46] MAGI     Let me write about those in my report. [13:48] YUHACHI     Oh, a shooting range. SIGN    Shooting Range [13:50] YAEKO     Great-grandpa, do you want to try? [13:52] MOGURA     Hey.

SIGN    Mmmph [14:19] TOSHIRO     She's also demanding that     I acquire one of these devices. [14:24] MAGI     Wow, Great-grandpa! [14:26] SHIO     Very cool! [14:28] YUHACHI     You're not bad either. [14:30] MAGI     Oh, no. You're way better than me. [14:33] MOGURA     Come to think of it, he used to be a good shot. [14:36] YAEKO     My great-grandpa used to have a hunting license. [14:41] YUHACHI     Would you like to try, Sato-san? [14:43] MOGURA     I'm not Sato-san! [14:47] MOGURA     I suck. [14:48] MOGURA     I've always been terrible with guns. [14:50] YUHACHI     You can't hit anything, Sato-san. [14:53] MOGURA     I told you, I'm not Sato-san! [14:55] YUHACHI     You really suck. [14:56] YUHACHI     You're embarrassing yourself     in front of the young 'uns. [15:05] SHIO     Wow! Very cool, Mogura-san! [15:08] MOGURA     Go ahead and choose whatever     prize you'd like, ladies. [15:11] YAEKO & SHIO     Hooray! Thanks! [15:12] YUHACHI     Sato-san... [15:15] YUHACHI     Don't you think it's childish to     act that way towards your elders? [15:18] MOGURA     You old fart! [15:19] YAEKO     My great-grandpa seems      to be enjoying himself. [15:23] YAEKO     He's always been vain and competitive. [15:26] MAGI     He's a cute great-grandfather. [15:28] YAEKO     Anyway, both guns and bows     involve firing at targets, [15:32] YAEKO     but I guess you can be good     with one but not the other. [15:35] MAGI     Well, it depends on the person, [15:37] MAGI     but they work differently,     and the way you aim is different. [15:42] MAGI     I wonder if there are people     who are good with both. [15:45] MAGI     That'd be impressive. [15:47] YAEKO     That's how it works, huh? [15:49] MAGI     It depends on the person. It depends, but... [15:52] MAGI/ID     Does that mean he's used a bow for way longer? [15:57] SHIO     Yaeko-san, you can see the     ocean clearly from here. [16:01] YAEKO     That's the rock we saw coming in on the boat. [16:04] YAEKO     It's called Merfolk Rock, and... [16:08] YAEKO     It looks like something's emerging from the sea. [16:21] MOGURA     I see. So that's the merfolk. [16:24] MOGURA     Accidents at sea, capsized ships,     suicidal drownings, natural disasters. [16:28] MOGURA     A lot happens on the ocean. [16:30] TOSHIRO     So it's a collection of regrets at sea. [16:33] KYOSHIRO     It's not uncommon, but it's huge. [16:37] MOGURA     It must've emerged because of the festival. [16:40] MOGURA     Like I said when we dealt with the stalker     spirit, a lot of spirits want to be noticed. SIGN    Waaah [16:50] YUHACHI     O merfolk... [16:52] YAEKO     So this festival really is     for pacifying the merfolk. [16:56] YAEKO     On the boat here, I said the     tidal currents were unique, [17:00] YAEKO     but that rock, Merfolk Rock,     is also known as Arrival Rock. [17:04] YAEKO     When there's an accident at sea,     the body frequently washes up there. [17:09] MOGURA     That explains all the spirits gathered there. SIGN    Waaah [17:12] MOGURA     Their sense of individuality is weak. [17:14] YAEKO     Come to think of it, Maggie-kun performed     a threat display on the way here. [17:18] MAGI     Most people can't see that, right? [17:22] MAGI     This is going to be confusing     when I write my report. [17:24] TOSHIRO     There's a challenge to describing what     you've seen as though you haven't. [17:30] TOSHIRO     I experience it all the time. [17:31] TOSHIRO     Anyway, it's rare for these to     actually be shaped like merfolk. [17:35] TOSHIRO     It could be similar to Ikebukuro      and Nabeshima. [17:39] YAEKO     Merfolk really do exist. [17:42] YAEKO     Is that thing okay? [17:44] YUHACHI     Well, the merfolk is sad. [17:48] YUHACHI     Through worship, distance must be maintained     between this world and the afterlife. [17:53] YUHACHI     There's nothing we can do     about the merfolk's sadness. SIGN    Waaah [17:58] YUHACHI     All we can do is make sure     we don't get dragged in. [18:02] YUHACHI     It's important to draw a line. [18:04] YAEKO     He says that all the time. [18:06] YAEKO     Maybe he really can see it. [18:11] (Flashback) SOLDIER A     I'm amazed you recovered, Kirihara. [18:15] (Flashback) SOLDIER A     Youth is incredible, huh? [18:17] (Flashback) YUHACHI     I'm surprised, too. [18:24] (Flashback) YUHACHI     Can you see them, too? [18:26] (Flashback) MOGURA     What? [18:26] (Flashback) YUHACHI     Both you and I are in rough shape, huh? [18:30] (Flashback) YUHACHI     Be strong. [18:31] (Flashback) YUHACHI     Even if that's not an illusion, all we can     do is make sure we don't get dragged in. [18:37] (Flashback) YUHACHI     You give food to the dying, right? [18:41] (Flashback) YUHACHI     That's noble, [18:42] (Flashback) YUHACHI     but I think you need to draw a line. [18:48] YAEKO     Huh? [18:51] MOGURA     What is it, Yae-chan? [18:55] YAEKO     Um, Mori-kun? [19:00] YAEKO     Is that you, Mori-kun? No? [19:03] YAEKO     Um, is that... [19:06] YAEKO     It's Kirihara Yaeko. It's been a while. [19:09] YAEKO     Um... [19:15] MOGURA     Friend of yours? [19:17] YAEKO     Yes, but... [19:23] YAEKO     The festival eve event is starting. [19:25] MOGURA     Let's check it out. [19:29] MOGURA     Hey, Magi. [19:30] MOGURA     Don't stare too long. [19:32] MOGURA     Like I said, if an attention-seeking      spirit takes a liking to you, [19:35] MOGURA     you could end up possessed. [19:37] MAGI     Oh, right. [19:38] MOGURA     That must be what they mean by the merfolk     bewitching people and kidnapping them. [19:43] MOGURA     Pay it no mind.

[01:49] MOGURA     You gotta do everything you can to stop this. [01:52] MAGI     Shut up, old man. [01:54] MOGURA     Depending on the circumstances, you may     have to resort to illegal measures. [01:58] MOGURA     If you want, I'll help. [02:00] MOGURA     As far as society's concerned,     I don't exist, so I'm useful that way. [02:04] MAGI     Please shut up, old man. [02:06] YAEKO     You might be thinking, "Why does this matter?" [02:09] YAEKO     But it's normal to wonder     what happened to him, right? [02:12] KYOKO     True. Since you're here,     it might be good to talk to him. [02:19] MOGURA     Yae-chan, how'd you recognize him     as Mori-kun as soon as you saw him? [02:23] YAEKO     It was his doll. [02:25] YAEKO     I made it. [02:27] YAEKO     Back in high school, that game character     was obscure, so there was no merch of it. [02:32] YAEKO     Mori-kun liked the same game and wanted     something, so I made it for him. [02:36] YAEKO     Yeah, I can't figure it out     just by thinking about it. [02:38] YAEKO     I'm shocked and exhausted     from the merfolk thing today. [02:41] YAEKO     Let's go to bed. [02:42] SHIO     You're right. I'm disappointed     I couldn't see it, though. [02:46] SHIO     Yaeko-san, let's change     into our pajamas and chat. [02:48] YAEKO     Sure. Oh, right. [02:50] YAEKO     These are for when you sleep. [02:52] MAGI     What are these? [02:53] YAEKO     If a centipede falls from     the ceiling, use those. [02:56] MAGI     A centipede?! [02:57] YAEKO     Don't touch them with your bare hands. [02:59] YAEKO     Okay, good night. [03:01] MAGI     A centipede?! [03:02] MOGURA     You can eat centipedes, you know. [03:07] KYOKO     Come on, Yaeko-chan. Join us. [03:09] YAEKO     What are we talking about? [03:12] KYOKO     Yaeko-chan, who do you like? [03:15] KYOKO     I love my husband! [03:17] YAEKO     Yeah, it'd be a huge problem     if you loved someone else. [03:22] KYOKO     In that case, Shio-chan and Yaeko-chan,     are you a sadist or a masochist? [03:26] SHIO     What kind of topic is that? [03:28] YAEKO     Oh, please. [03:29] KYOKO     I'm a huge masochist! [03:31] YAEKO     I feel like these are indirect burns     against the professor of my seminar. [03:44] MAGI/ID     Spirits of the sea who have lost their     sense of self and cry like infants. [03:48] MAGI/ID     The island's festival. The people     in power. My friend from the island. [03:53] MAGI/ID     My friend's great-grandfather. [03:55] MAGI/ID     My friend's utterly transformed classmate. [03:58] MAGI/ID     Invited by a female friend, I rode     on the back of her motorbike, [04:03] MAGI/ID     met her family, and now I'm     staying at their house. [04:07] MAGI/ID     My future self 20 years from     now is probably yelling at me, [04:10] MAGI/ID     "Do you have any idea how     amazing this experience is?" [04:14] MAGI/ID     But for reasons I don't understand, [04:17] MAGI/ID     what I remember most is the middle-aged     man keeping up with us on a bicycle. [04:21] MAGI/ID     Who's the real monster, the merfolk or him? [04:24] MAGI/ID     I fell asleep while thinking about     that and woke up the next morning. SIGN    Shriek [04:37] ISLANDER 1     Oh, it's Mori-san's kid. [04:39] ISLANDER 2     Again? He's been like this for a few years. [04:42] ISLANDER 3     Must be tough for his parents. [04:44] ISLANDER 1     The parents are a bit... complicated, too. [04:53] YAEKO     Oh, Dad. How's Mori-kun? [04:56] FATHER     I was told he's doing fine. [04:58] YAEKO     Good. [05:00] FATHER     It was after you left for Tokyo. [05:03] FATHER     He started panicking easily. [05:05] FATHER     He's calmed down now. [05:07] YAEKO     I see... [05:13] YAEKO     I'm going out for a bit. [05:16] YAEKO     But maybe I'd be bothering him if I went now. [05:19] YAEKO     No, I'm going. [05:24] KOITARO     Oh, excuse me. [05:27] KOITARO     Can you stand? Take my hand. [05:29] FATHER     Sir? Welcome. [05:32] FATHER     Please, come in. [05:33] KOITARO     No, here is fine. [05:35] KOITARO     I heard you have guests, Kirihara-san. [05:39] KOITARO     I came to say hello and apologize. [05:44] KOITARO     I'm terribly sorry for the     disturbance caused by an islander. [05:49] KOITARO     The Mori family's son is     a bit mentally unstable. [05:53] KOITARO     We're all worried about him,     but don't let it bother you. [05:58] KOITARO     I apologize for this happening     during your visit. [06:00] KOITARO     We value the young people of the island, [06:02] KOITARO     so we get worried and fuss     over him more than necessary. [06:06] KOITARO     I haven't introduced myself yet. [06:08] KOITARO     My name is Samejima Koitaro. [06:10] MOGURA     I see... [06:12] KOITARO     This is my granddaughter, Yui. [06:14] YUI     Good to see you again, Kirihara-chan. [06:17] YAEKO     Oh, Yui-chan. [06:18] YAEKO     Haven't seen you since high school graduation. [06:20] KOITARO     Also, I heard a college professor     from Tokyo was visiting. [06:26] YAEKO     Oh, right. [06:29] KOITARO     I heard you study folklore and     are interested in our island. [06:33] KOITARO     Thank you for coming. [06:35] TOSHIRO     Not at all. [06:37] KOITARO     The Kirihara family has helped us     since before my mother's generation. [06:41] KOITARO     Their guests are our guests. [06:45] YUHACHI     Ah, it's the Samejima boy. [06:48] KOITARO     I'd love to show you around the island. [06:51] KOITARO     What do you say? [06:52] YAEKO     I'll meet up with you after I visit Mori-kun. [06:55] YUI     Better that you don't. [06:57] YUI     You'd be bothering them. [06:59] YUI     Let's go around the island, Kirihara-chan. [07:06] ISLANDER     Hello, sir. [07:07] ISLANDER     Good day. [07:09] MAGI     Like Yae-chan said, he seems important. [07:12] MOGURA     He's got a real way with words. [07:14] MAGI     Should you be saying that? [07:16] YUI     Are you Kirihara-chan's friend? [07:18] YUI     I saw you hit that target. [07:25] MOGURA     Oh, right. [07:26] YUI     I was impressed. [07:28] YUI     But you seem rather grown     up for a college friend. [07:31] YUI     Did you start attending college     after working for a while? [07:34] MOGURA     I, uh... [07:36] YAEKO     He's an alumnus. [07:39] YUI     Huh. [07:40] YUI     Anyway, it's amazing that     he's a college professor. [07:43] YUI     Are there a lot of people like him in the city? [07:46] YUI     He's so handsome. [07:47] YAEKO     I wouldn't say a lot. [07:53] KOITARO     This is the merfolk shrine. [07:55] KOITARO     Its official name is Samejima Shrine. [07:58] KOITARO     It was built by my ancestors. SIGN    Merfolk Island [08:01] YUI     It's simple, but here's a pamphlet. [08:08] TOSHIRO     I see. SIGN    Spring Festival          During the festival, people raise their hands above their heads.     This gesture resembles the one used to protect the islanders in the     legend and expresses reverence for the sea     and merfolk. The village chief's son led the effort to     pacify the malicious spirit, for which the islanders were grateful. [08:09] TOSHIRO     So there's meaning behind     that gesture at the festival. [08:12] KOITARO     It's just an imitation now, of course. [08:15] KOITARO     It must seem foolish, but it's important to us. [08:18] KOITARO     It's also a way for people     to learn about the sea. SIGN    The merfolk of the merfolk legend is enshrined...      head resembling an infant and body...      lures men into the sea with its voice...      originally a human girl...      child taken by humans...      became a malicious spirit, and its beautiful form      causing rough seas, and the surrounding eight islands...      said to have been destroyed in a single night...

[08:33] KOITARO     It's one of our specialties. SIGN    Shark Fish Cake [08:35] KOITARO     It's made from cod and shark. [08:38] SHIO     Jaws?! [08:40] KOITARO     Not Jaws. Mostly blue sharks. [08:43] KOITARO     Jaws is the title of a film, isn't it? [08:47] KOITARO     But around here, great whites and     tiger sharks do occasionally appear. [08:51] KOITARO     There are even records from the Edo period. [08:54] KOITARO     So there's meaning behind instilling a     fear of the sea through the festival. [08:59] SHIO     Jaws tastes good. [09:00] TOSHIRO     It's not Jaws. [09:02] KOITARO     Will that be useful to your report? [09:05] MAGI     What? Oh, yes. [09:07] MAGI     You know about that?     That's kind of embarrassing. [09:09] MAGI     Sorry. [09:11] KOITARO     No, I'm sorry. [09:12] KOITARO     It's a small island. Word gets around quickly. [09:18] ISLANDER     They're guests of the president. [09:20] ISLANDER 3     He's a college professor from Tokyo. [09:22] ISLANDER 4     Huh. [09:24] ISLANDER B     That's Kirihara-san's daughter. [09:26] ISLANDER B     She's friends with the Moris' kid. [09:28] ISLANDER A     But the Kiriharas have been here forever. [09:30] ISLANDER 1     The Moris still aren't ready for the festival. [09:34] ISLANDER 2     Now, now. [09:35] ISLANDER 2     Can't expect perfection yet. SIGN    Kirihara [09:39] MOGURA     So the Moris are new to the island, huh? [09:44] MOGURA     Oh, nothing. Sorry. [09:48] FATHER     You could tell? [09:50] MOGURA     I guess. [09:51] MOGURA     You can't help but hear rumors     while traveling around the island. [09:55] FATHER     Ah. [09:57] MOGURA     How people are treated seems firmly established. [09:59] MOGURA     I thought it might depend on     how long you've been around. [10:03] FATHER     It depends on how well you     understand the island. [10:06] FATHER     The Moris have lived here for six years. [10:09] FATHER     Our ancestors were already here     by the end of the shogunate. [10:12] FATHER     The Moris had a little screw-up with the     company right after they moved here. [10:18] FATHER     The father joined the company after me. [10:21] FATHER     About a year after he joined, he pointed     out a little mistake to the president. [10:28] FATHER     Confusing, right? That's the normal response. [10:31] FATHER     But sometimes it's not about being right. SIGN    Factory 3 SIGN    Factory 2 SIGN    Factory 1 [10:35] FATHER     On this island, the rest of us quietly go along     with some amount of that family's misconduct. [10:41] FATHER     What misconduct? Of course there's misconduct. SIGN    Factory 3 SIGN    Factory 2 [10:44] FATHER     How many businesses can claim     to be completely spotless? [10:48] FATHER     Often it's quicker to operate that     way as long as it's not a crime. SIGN    Shark Fish Cake SIGN    Shark Fish Cake [10:53] FATHER     After speaking with the president, you probably     understand why this island is prosperous. [10:59] FATHER     Outside the island, plenty of people     think us "naïve" and try to rip us off. SIGN    Honest Insurance [11:04] FATHER     They attempt to sell us all kinds of nonsense. SIGN    Sales Contract SIGN    Work Contract [11:07] FATHER     In reality, it's hard to judge. [11:09] FATHER     It's the president's family who lead     the charge in repelling those people. [11:16] FATHER     So the islanders tend to shun anyone     who defies the family even a little. [11:21] FATHER     But I'm not convinced that's for the best. [11:25] FATHER     When Yaeko said she wanted     to go to college, I was glad. [11:29] FATHER     Intelligence is a weapon. [11:31] FATHER     Nekozuku-sensei and everyone else, [11:33] FATHER     please help Yaeko learn as much as she can. [11:36] FATHER     I'm glad you came. [11:38] FATHER     As his senior, I should do more to     protect Mori-san and his family. [11:43] FATHER     Yaeko, let us handle the island.     You keep learning. [11:47] FATHER     Anyway, skilled bosses always have flaws, [11:52] FATHER     and we all make little mistakes. [11:54] MOGURA     True. Nekozuku-sensei became     a professor at his young age, [11:59] MOGURA     but he's so hopeless with domestic tasks that     he'd blow up a rice cooker without his wife. [12:04] MAGI     Really? [12:07] KYOKO     I'll allow it. [12:09] KOITARO     I'm back. [12:10] KOITARO     I showed our guests around the island. [12:12] SACHI     Thank you. You did a great job. [12:16] KOITARO     Yeah. I worked hard, just like you told me to... [12:20] KOITARO     Mama. [12:22] KOITARO     How's the Moris' son? [12:24] KOITARO     I don't want him to die because of me. [12:27] SACHI     You're such a kind boy. [12:29] SACHI     Don't worry about it. [12:31] SACHI     Let Mama take care of     everything and do as I say. [12:33] SACHI     Then you'll have no worries. [12:35] SACHI     What were our guests like? [12:37] KOITARO     There wasn't really anything special about them. [12:39] SACHI     Nothing special, huh? [12:42] SACHI     Oh, Yui. You did good as well. [12:48] MOGURA     Now this is an old map. Interesting. [12:51] FATHER     People have been living on this     island since the Keicho era. [12:55] FATHER     Our home is here, and President     Samejima's home is here. [12:59] FATHER     Did you see a large mansion when you arrived? [13:01] MOGURA     Oh, yeah. [13:03] MOGURA     It's huge. They're definitely     the major landowners. [13:05] MOGURA     So the old-timers are concentrated     in the center of the island. [13:08] MAGI     Huh. [13:09] TOSHIRO     I see. [13:10] FATHER     Yes. I suppose people settled     in the safest places first. [13:16] KYOKO     Oh, Kyo-chan. Where are you going? [13:18] KYOSHIRO     For a walk. I'm hungry. [13:21] YAEKO     Did you not get enough breakfast? Sorry. [13:24] KYOSHIRO     No, I just get hungrier than     most because of Nabeshima. [13:27] FATHER     Nabeshima? [13:29] KYOSHIRO     Don't worry about it. [13:30] FATHER     Can we get you anything? [13:32] KYOSHIRO     No, I'll get something at a food stall. [13:34] SHIO     A food stall? I'll go with you. [13:37] KYOKO     Kyo-chan, you're on a date with a girl. [13:41] MOGURA     If you say that, you'll upset Kyo-chan. [13:45] KYOSHIRO     It's fine. It'll seem less     suspicious if there are two of us. [13:47] SHIO     If we go alone, people will think, "Wow, this     person is eating a ton of stall food." [13:52] KYOSHIRO     You're the only one who does that. [13:54] YUI     How do you do, great-grandmother? [13:56] SACHI     Very good. [13:58] SACHI     Your "Steal Your Man 120% Success Rate Hyper     Tight Devilish Costume" is on point again today. [14:05] SACHI     Good girl. [14:07] YUI     Also known as my "Innocent     Princess ☆ Battlesuit." [14:10] POCHI 2     The other day, didn't you call it your [14:12] POCHI 2     "Real Innocent Girls Don't Wear Bursting     One-Size-Down Blouses Like This Outfit?" [14:17] YUI     Silence. Who just opened     his mouth? Step forward. [14:21] YUI     I said it's my Princess ☆ Battlesuit. [14:24] YUI     Don't forget the cute star between     "Princess" and "Battlesuit." [14:27] YUI     Expect to be punished later. [14:29] YUI     Also, I am innocent. [14:31] POCHI 2     Thank y—I'm sorry! [14:33] YUI     This outfit fooled the 40-something     who quit the company the other day. [14:37] YUI     He left his wife of 15 years     and asked to get married. [14:41] YUI     Like hell I'd do that! [14:43] YUI     Naturally, I tearfully said I'd step     back because I felt sorry for his wife. [14:48] YUI     So delicately, too! [14:51] YUI     He was useless, after all. [14:53] YUI     Destined to be driven off the island. [14:57] SACHI     You're such a talented great-granddaughter. [14:59] SACHI     I'm delighted. [15:01] KOITARO     Divorce, huh? [15:03] KOITARO     Hey, Mama. Was it right for me to get divorced? [15:07] KOITARO     I thought Manami was a pretty good woman. [15:11] SACHI     It's fine. [15:12] SACHI     She wasn't worthy of you, Koitaro-chan. [15:17] SACHI     I'm glad she gave you children, though. [15:19] SACHI     Now you have an adorable little granddaughter. [15:24] KOITARO     But finding a new wife is hard. SIGN    92 Years Old [15:28] SACHI     You're still only 58. You're in your prime. [15:32] SACHI     You should marry a young     lady instead of an old hag. SIGN    58 Years Old [15:35] KOITARO     You're right. SIGN    Goo-goo ga-ga SIGN    Bursting SIGN    Welcome to Hell [15:37] KOITARO     I'd like a wife who can reproduce your cooking. [15:41] KOITARO     There must be someone who can. [15:44] SACHI     Oh, there is. [15:45] SACHI     But I'll have to teach her. [15:47] KOITARO     She'd be lucky to have you teach her. [15:50] YUI     Nobody wants to wear this tight and thin     sleeveless blouse during this season, idiot. [15:57] YUI     It digs into my armpits and hurts. [15:59] YUI     I bet they're all red. [16:01] KOITARO     Mama, the Kirihara family's     daughter is small and young. [16:06] KOITARO     I bet she'd do as she's told. [16:07] SACHI     No, Koitaro-chan. [16:09] SACHI     Women like her look nice, but they're stubborn. [16:13] SACHI     Plus, she goes to college. [16:15] SACHI     Who knows how she'd talk back? [16:18] SACHI     You need to marry a good girl. [16:21] YUI     That sharp-eyed guest is Kirihara's     college professor, right? [16:26] YUI     His wife was hanging all     over him and got in my way. [16:29] YUI     I bet I could get the tallest     one if I pushed a little harder. [16:32] YUI     He's my type, but he barely responded to me. [16:36] SACHI     You're still so cute and "naïve." [16:39] SACHI     He had the eyes of a man     who's experienced a lot. [16:42] SACHI     You should go after one who knows nothing. [16:45] SACHI     The one with glasses would be better. [16:47] YUI     What? But he's so ugly. [16:49] SACHI     And you'll get burned if you     underestimate that professor. [16:52] SACHI     Be careful. [16:55] SACHI     I've had a lot of dealings with outsiders, [16:59] SACHI     but those who underestimate us finish weak,     so they're nothing to worry about. [17:03] SACHI     It's the people who don't get swept     up by our energy who are scary. [17:07] SACHI     You must always stay one step ahead of the     shrewd businessmen trying to rip us off. [17:12] SACHI     Yui, you have talent. [17:15] SACHI     You have to learn to lead this island someday. [17:18] YUI     I can do that. [17:19] YUI     Trapping Mori was easy. [17:22] SACHI     That's because I carefully trained     the islanders to be easily tricked. SIGN    Merfolk Island [17:28] SACHI     The merfolk legend is still incomplete. SIGN    Spring Festival          During the festival, people raise their hands above their heads.     This gesture resembles the one used to protect the islanders in the     legend and expresses reverence for the sea     and merfolk. The village chief's son led the effort to     pacify the malicious spirit, for which the islanders were grateful. [17:32] SACHI     Our ancestors should've made the merfolk more     villainous and given the story more of a moral. [17:37] SACHI     It's easier to instill a sense of good and evil     in people when the story's simple to follow. [17:41] SACHI     Well, I'll fix it eventually. [17:42] SACHI     In any case, be all smiles around our guests. [17:46] SACHI     My instincts tell me to be wary of them. [17:49] SACHI     Everything we do is to     preserve our family's peace. [17:53] SACHI     People with brains who offer their     opinions are the enemy of peace. [17:58] YUI     That's why I tried to get the Moris to leave     the island, but they just won't do it. [18:03] SACHI     It's because the Kiriharas are     oddly concerned about them. [18:07] SACHI     They should just go with the flow     like the rest of the islanders. [18:11] KOITARO     It's the father. [18:13] KOITARO     He's a little guy who seems carefree,     but he's pretty sharp. [18:17] SACHI     That's right. [18:19] SACHI     For now, we've painted the Moris' son as     someone constantly making fake suicide attempts, [18:23] SACHI     but the Kiriharas' father     might've realized it's not true. [18:27] SACHI     After all, that old fox encouraged     his daughter to study. [18:30] SACHI     The fact that they're old-timers is an obstacle. [18:32] SACHI     Well, we have various methods at our disposal. [18:34] SACHI     The other islanders will     believe anything we say. [18:38] SACHI     We can lie to them as much as we need. SIGN    Illustration SIGN    Looong Kitty [18:51] KYOSHIRO     I knew that merfolk was too big. [18:54] KYOSHIRO     It's accumulated all kinds of resentment.

[18:13] MAGI/ID     Oh, right. When we fell into the sea... [18:16] MAGI/ID     How long will it take to be seen     by a doctor on this island? [18:19] MAGI/ID     Surely not hours, right?

[00:55] WOMAN/NA     As the men cast off to return home,     the seas grew rough, [00:59] WOMAN/NA     a storm descended upon them,     and a horrifying merfolk appeared. [01:05] WOMAN/NA     They abandoned the child and attempted to flee, [01:08] WOMAN/NA     but they were eventually swallowed by the waves. [01:12] WOMAN/NA     The merfolk's face was that of the woman, [01:15] WOMAN/NA     but there was no trace of her beauty,     as she'd become an unsightly malevolent spirit. [01:21] WOMAN/NA     Following the instructions of Koetsu, [01:25] WOMAN/NA     the priest who came to the island,     the village chief's son said a prayer.

[07:39] MOGURA     The Hell Path, the harshest of all paths, [07:43] MOGURA     is divided into the Eight Greater Hells and     the Eight Cold Hells, each with eight realms. [07:47] MOGURA     Additionally... [07:48] MOGURA     Actually, that's enough about that.

[11:13] KOITARO     There are even records from the Edo period. [11:16] TOSHIRO     Apparently the island itself used to     be called Sameshima, or Shark Island. [11:20] YAEKO     What? [11:21] TOSHIRO     This describes the origins     of the merfolk legend. [11:24] TOSHIRO     Since you grew up on the island,     perhaps you've heard it. [11:28] TOSHIRO     It's a genuine folktale.     There's even a priest who suddenly shows up. [11:33] TOSHIRO     And this was written by Kirihara Yutaro-san. [11:36] TOSHIRO     In other words, Yuhachi-san's father. [11:39] YAEKO     Great-grandpa's dad? [11:41] TOSHIRO     Yes. The contents were quite interesting.

[12:27] YUTARO     After my son Yuhachi was discharged,     he remarked that he saw a merfolk. [12:35] TOSHIRO     To summarize, [12:37] TOSHIRO     the island's dark history caused a part-human     and part-fish mass of spirits to form, [12:41] TOSHIRO     and years of growth turned it     into a minefield of a monster. [12:46] TOSHIRO     You see it often in fairy tales, [12:48] TOSHIRO     but when animals are near humans who die      while experiencing powerful emotions, [12:52] TOSHIRO     the human's spirit possesses the     animal and turns it into a monster. [12:56] TOSHIRO     Bakeneko are one such example. [12:58] YAEKO     Or like in Santo Kyoden's "Baika Hyoretsu". [13:02] YAEKO     That was a goldfish. [13:03] TOSHIRO     The warning about not eating     beans in the old woman's presence [13:07] TOSHIRO     likely comes from that story as well. [13:09] YAEKO     Sir. [13:10] YAEKO     Let me pay for the exorcism. [13:13] YAEKO     I only work part-time now, but I promise     I'll pay once I get a proper job. [13:17] TOSHIRO     Thank you, but I've already been paid. [13:20] YAEKO     What? [13:21] TOSHIRO     In addition to those,     we found a first edition of [13:25] TOSHIRO     "The Restaurant of Many Orders"     in the Kirihara family storehouse. [13:28] TOSHIRO     Look it up. It's quite valuable. [13:32] TOSHIRO     Your great-grandfather gave it to me     for looking after you. [13:41] TOSHIRO     Mogura, he wants you to have     his moth-eaten rucksack.

[17:24] YUI     Where did that come from? [17:25] KYOKO     Evil deeds always come to light. [17:28] YUI     Please don't insult me based on conjecture. [17:31] KYOKO     You're smart.

[17:46] KYOKO     It's good to listen to older     women once in a while. [17:50] YUI     You're scaring me. What's your problem? [17:52] YUI     I don't know what you think     you heard, but please stop. [17:57] YUI     You don't need to worry about me. [17:59] KYOKO     What are the islanders to you?     What about Mori-kun? [18:04] KYOKO     Are those two important colleagues to you? [18:08] YUI     Oh, please. They're servants. [18:11] KYOKO     We have helpers, too,      but they're all important to us.

[18:43] KYOKO     And you're obsessed with     forcing others to obey you. [18:48] KYOKO     That's why you became excessively angry     with Mori-kun when he didn't obey you.

[20:09] TOSHIRO     Ikebukuro is currently eating     the "folk" half of the merfolk. [20:22] MOGURA     It's the merfolk's last gasp! [20:24] MOGURA     It went after her because she's     disheartened for some reason! [20:29] YUI     Something's holding me down! [20:31] ISLANDER A     The Samejima girl!

[20:52] KYOSHIRO     Why would you wear that to a beach? [20:55] MOGURA     Maybe she planned on doing a long-distance swim. [20:58] MOGURA     And if you wore that instead of underwear,     what were you going to do after you swam? [21:02] YAEKO     It's too dangerous! [21:04] YAEKO     Didn't I tell you the currents are unique? [21:07] SHIO     It's me! [21:09] YAEKO     Oh... [21:16] MAGI     Maggie-kun and I struggled     desperately in those waters. [21:24] WOMAN/NA     And so, a new merfolk legend was born. [21:27] WOMAN/NA     They say a young woman appeared and swam like     a fish to rescue the village chief's daughter. [21:35] WOMAN/NA     As her speed was superhuman, [21:38] WOMAN/NA     she must have been the merfolk     described in the island's legend.

[04:17] ISLANDER M     But remember when Kimura-san suddenly left? [04:20] ISLANDER N     Yeah, and ten years ago,     Suzuki-san had an accident. [04:23] ISLANDER O     I've never mentioned this before, but when     my husband made a mistake at the factory...

[07:08] MORI     What's Tokyo like? Is rent expensive? [07:10] YAEKO     Pretty expensive. [07:12] YAEKO     But if you're not picky,     you can find cheap places. [07:15] MORI     I don't know that I trust     what Tokyo considers cheap. [07:19] MOGURA     If you don't mind questionable properties,     I can show you a few places. [07:22] MOGURA     They're cheap. [07:23] MOGURA     I like visiting real estate offices just      to look at layouts and tour properties. [07:28] MAGI     What kind of recommendation is that?

[13:20] MOGURA     Naturally, they didn't have the     internet or GPS in the Keicho era. [13:25] MOGURA     Their maps weren't nearly as precise either. [13:28] MOGURA     That's why I like looking at updated maps. [13:32] MOGURA     I'm amazed by this era in which     you can pinpoint your exact location. [13:37] (Flashback) MOGURA     Why are there so many dentists downtown?! [13:40] MOGURA     Transportation options were way more limited. [13:42] MOGURA     Between checkpoints and bandits,     you couldn't move around freely. [13:46] MOGURA     There were no streetlamps,\nso people frequently got lost. [13:49] MOGURA     That's why I'd forgotten. [13:51] MOGURA     I think I've been to this island before. [13:54] MOGURA     It's totally different now, so I couldn't tell. [13:57] MOGURA     I traveled for a while, starting     in the Warring States era. [14:01] MOGURA     Dressing like a priest was     convenient for wandering around. [14:05] MOGURA     During times of war,     there are spirits everywhere, [14:10] MOGURA     so I tried to collect their flames. [14:13] MOGURA     But watching so many young people die makes     you forget what the point of life even is. [14:21] MOGURA     Ultimately, I came out even on flames. [14:24] MOGURA     I ended up saying something     about paying respects to spirits [14:28] MOGURA     because I couldn't stand it anymore. [14:31] MOGURA     I went by a lot of names,     but I think I used the name Koetsu, [14:35] MOGURA     which means the opposite of Mogura. [14:38] MOGURA     Depending on how you honor a spirit,     it can turn them into gods or even monsters. [14:44] MOGURA     I always stick my nose where it doesn't belong.

[15:32] YUHACHI     After all, the living pay their respects     so that they can move forward. [15:51] MOGURA     I'm glad I came. [15:54] MOGURA     Thanks, Yae-chan. [15:58] MOGURA     And, you know, life does have some meaning. SIGN    Panorama Island [16:11] SIGN     Drawer Street [16:24] KYOKO     It's pouring again today. SIGN    Purchased [16:30] SIGN     Yen [16:38] MAGI/ID     I brought this for him, but walking through     here on a gloomy rainy day scares me. [16:55] MAGI/ID     I've never seen anyone in here,     but it's in good shape despite that. [17:03] MAGI/ID     There's stuff strewn about,     but without human intervention, [17:07] MAGI/ID     this place should be more run-down. [17:10] MAGI/ID     I feel like the plants would be growing     more wildly without maintenance. SIGN    Chill SIGN    Shiver [17:20] MAGI/ID     Thinking about it gives me chills. [17:23] MAGI/ID     Maybe I'll just go home. [17:38] MAGI     Um, excuse me. [17:40] MAGI     Is Mogura in? [17:44] MAGI     I was going to give this to him. [17:47] UKIGUMO     I'm not sure. He might be out. [17:50] UKIGUMO     Eggs are on sale today. [17:52] UKIGUMO     If you'd like, I can hold onto that for you. [17:54] UKIGUMO     I'll make sure he gets it. [17:56] MAGI     Thank you. [17:59] MAGI/ID     Now that I think about it, [18:00] MAGI/ID     is it okay for me to interact with     this person when Mogura's not here? SIGN    Rustle rustle SIGN    Rustle rustle [18:05] MAGI/ID     Maybe I shouldn't pry,     but I have so many questions. [18:14] UKIGUMO     Is there liquor in these? [18:16] MAGI     Huh? Oh, yes. [18:18] UKIGUMO     That's a shame. He won't be able to eat these. [18:22] UKIGUMO     May I have them instead? [18:24] MAGI     Uh, sure. Go ahead. [18:26] UKIGUMO     Thank you. [18:28] MAGI     Is he allergic or something? [18:30] MAGI     Can he not eat sweets either? [18:32] MAGI     He might've said he doesn't     drink when we first met. [18:36] UKIGUMO     An allergy? [18:38] UKIGUMO     Yes, perhaps you could call it that. [18:40] UKIGUMO     He can have as much as is used in cooking. [18:43] UKIGUMO     After all, people don't cook     with liquor for the alcohol. [18:47] UKIGUMO     But he cannot consume liquor as an indulgence. [18:49] UKIGUMO     He cannot have any. [18:59] UKIGUMO     I'll make sure he gets this. [19:05] UKIGUMO     May I pass? [19:07] MAGI     Oh, excuse me. [19:08] UKIGUMO     Thank you. [19:10] UKIGUMO     Pardon these narrow streets. [19:15] MAGI/ID     What is with this atmosphere? [19:17] MAGI/ID     In a word, it's truly bizarre. [19:23] MAGI/ID     She was looking at Maggie-kun, wasn't she? [19:26] MAGI     Excuse me. [19:30] MAGI     You can see him, can't you? [19:33] UKIGUMO     Yes, I can. [19:37] MAGI     Um... Are there other people here? [19:41] UKIGUMO     Yes, there are. [19:43] UKIGUMO     Anyone capable of noticing this     street is free to travel through it. [19:46] MAGI     Who exactly is Mogura? [19:50] UKIGUMO     He's a human. [19:52] MAGI     Uh, yeah. I'm sure he is. [19:55] UKIGUMO     Though he was originally a god. [20:04] MAGI/ID     Honestly, my first reaction was     "Yeah, I had a feeling." [20:08] UKIGUMO     He doesn't drink because he used to be a god. SIGN    Offering [20:13] UKIGUMO     Liquor is an offering made to the gods. [20:17] UKIGUMO     Fallen gods have no right to consume it. [20:21] UKIGUMO     That's how it works. [20:24] UKIGUMO     His name used to be Ookamuzumi-no-yumi. [20:28] UKIGUMO     He can no longer call himself that. [20:30] UKIGUMO     There is nothing forbidding     you from interacting with him. [20:35] UKIGUMO     That said, I wouldn't recommend it. [20:38] MAGI     Who are you? [20:41] UKIGUMO     His lover. [20:42] MAGI     Mogura's? [20:43] UKIGUMO     Just kidding. [20:44] MAGI     What? [20:48] UKIGUMO     I'm just his jailer. [20:51] UKIGUMO     Because I am a jailer and not a     former god, I can consume liquor. [20:56] UKIGUMO     Liquor tastes good when mixed with ramune. [21:01] UKIGUMO     I do not smoke tobacco. [21:04] UKIGUMO     Ramune is one of the best     human-made indulgences. [21:08] UKIGUMO     Black Thunder chocolate and shrimp     chips are dangerously tasty, [21:12] UKIGUMO     so one must be careful not to overindulge. [21:14] MAGI     Um, sorry for asking so many questions,     but what's your name? [21:20] UKIGUMO     Forgive me. My name is Ukigumo. [21:23] UKIGUMO     You may also call me "candy seller." SIGN    Mogura Bath [21:28] MAGI/ID     Come to think of it, "Ukigumo"     was written on the bath house. SIGN    Ukigumo [21:35] UKIGUMO     I manage most of the bath house. [21:39] MAGI     What? [21:40] UKIGUMO     Only one room is "his home," which he created, [21:45] UKIGUMO     although he also uses the entire second floor. [21:50] MAGI/ID     It gave me chills when she said     that as though she read my mind. [21:53] UKIGUMO     Oh, he's here. [21:56] MAGI/ID     However, his affability that     clears away those chills... [22:02] MAGI/ID     is certainly godlike.
