SIGN    Red Panda
[00:06] KYOSHIRO
    Go on, Nabeshima. Time for a treat.
[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.
SIGN    Great-great-grandfather
[02:16] MOGURA
    Kyo-chan, have you already found a wife?
SIGN    Great-grandfather
SIGN    Grandfather
SIGN    Father
[02:18] KYOSHIRO
    Where'd that come from?
[02:20] TOSHIRO
    One last thing.
SIGN    Episode 4

SIGN    Paranormal Consultant
     Nekozuku Toshiro
[02:23] TOSHIRO
    Do you need a receipt?
[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.
SIGN    Growl
[05:24] KYOSHIRO
    It's probably not something
    human, but an animal.
SIGN    Yap Yap
SIGN    Thank you, Maggie-kun
     Gomoku Zoo's popular red panda
     Maggie-kun has gone to heaven
[05:30] YAEKO
    Maggie-kun the red panda has gone to heaven!
[05:33] YAEKO
    He died a peaceful death, huh?
[05:35] YAEKO
    He sure lived a long time.
[05:38] SHIO
    Maggie-kun the red panda?
[05:40] YAEKO
    He was my favorite red panda.
[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!
[06:05] SHIO
    True. Now that I think
    about it, that's so true.
[06:10] SHIO
    Actually, doesn't Magi-san kind
    of look like a red panda?
SIGN    Maggie-kun
SIGN    Magi-kun
[06:14] YAEKO
    He so does. I've always thought so.
[06:17] SHIO
    Right?
[06:18] YAEKO
    Yeah!
[06:22] YAEKO
    Do you hear weird noises coming
    from Magi-kun's workplace?
[06:22] SIGN

[06:22] SIGN
    Yatsume Store
[06:25] SHIO
    What?
[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.
[09:52] YAEKO
    Is something wrong?
[09:53] SHIO
    Did the shutter close oddly just now?
SIGN    Automatic
[09:57] YAEKO
    Huh? It won't open.
[09:58] YAEKO
    Magi-kun, are you okay?
[10:01] MAGI
    Yae-chan and Shio-chan?
[10:03] MOGURA
    Hey, don't touch anything!
[10:05] SHIO
    Is this safe to open?
[10:07] MOGURA
    It won't open!
[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!
[10:16] KYOSHIRO
    What?
[10:17] YAEKO
    What?
SIGN    Creaaak
SIGN    Hnnngh
[10:23] YAEKO
    What?!
[10:29] ALL
    What?!
[10:32] MOGURA
    Physical power beat spirit power.
[10:36] MAGI
    Come to think of it...
[10:37] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Tomorrow? I can't tomorrow.
SIGN    The Literature Department's Mysterious Musclehead, Fujimura
[10:40] FUJIMURA
    I gotta be in the audience for my
    friend's bodybuilding contest.
[10:43] FUJIMURA
    Sorry.
[10:44] FUJIMURA
    After that, I'm going to the gym, then
    work, then I have plans for dinner.
[10:49] MAGI
    You'll wear yourself out.
[10:51] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    My idol Inukai-san is throwing a party.
[10:54] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    There's no way I can't go.
[10:55] (Flashback) MAGI
    Inukai-san?
[10:57] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Their family's famous in the muscle world.
[11:00] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Their name always comes up in potential
    workplaces for muscles like us.
[11:05] (Flashback) MAGI
    "Muscle" is a kind of person now, huh?
[11:08] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Their family boasts special police,
    police officers, firefighters,
[11:12] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    martial artists, and security company managers.
[11:14] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    They're famous for their
    physical strength and skill.
[11:17] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Even Inukai-san's youngest high-school-aged
    daughter is stronger than me.
[11:22] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    I've got a long ways to go.
[11:25] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Inukai-san's youngest daughter...
[11:28] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Inukai-san's...
[11:29] (Flashback) FUJIMURA
    Inukai-san...
SIGN    Inukai-san
[11:33] NA
    Nothing is farther from death
     than an embodiment of life.
[11:37] NA
    The power to live is the power
    of muscles. It is energy.
[11:40] NA
    Her parents are special police, her
    grandparents were police officers,
[11:42] NA
    and her great-grandparents reached
    the rank of captain in just six months.
SIGN    Youth
[11:46] NA
    Some say she's defended girls
    and even boys from ruffians.
[11:51] NA
    According to rumors, a bodybuilding and
    adventure channel has their eye on her.
SIGN    Life
[11:55] NA
    Her nickname is "the Considerate Mad Dog."
SIGN    I want pancakes!
[11:58] NA
    Her brain simply lags behind
    her other abilities a little.
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?!
SIGN    Tremble
    Tremble
[12:51] KYOSHIRO
    Whoa!
[12:53] TOSHIRO
    Kyoshiro!
[12:55] MOGURA
    First it paralyzed us, now it's
    levitating objects like a poltergeist?
[12:58] MOGURA
    This guy's got skills!
[13:02] KYOSHIRO
    Inukai, calm down!
[13:05] SHIO
    You're floating!
[13:07] KYOSHIRO
    If I'm thrown against the
    floor, my bones will break!
[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!
SIGN    Badoom
[13:51] MOGURA
    Seriously? You're awesome, Shio-chan!
[13:54] MOGURA/ID
    Meanwhile, Kyo-chan looks like a confused
    cat from that short-lived fad.
[13:58] SHIO
    That was close.
[14:01] SHIO
    Are you hurt?
[14:02] KYOSHIRO
    No, I'm fine. Thanks.
[14:05] SHIO
    Not at all.
[14:06] YAEKO
    Magi-kun!
[14:07] MAGI
    Yae-chan.
[14:09] YAEKO
    Who's this suspicious person?
[14:11] YAEKO
    It's the professor!
[14:12] MAGI
    Yeah, it's the professor.
[14:15] YAEKO
    That means it was a spirit, right?
[14:17] YAEKO
    Where is it now?
[14:30] MAGI
    Yae-chan?
[14:31] YAEKO
    It's Maggie-kun the red panda!
[14:34] MAGI
    What? Maggie-kun?
[14:38] YAEKO
    Come here. Come here, buddy.
[14:40] YAEKO
    You must be Maggie-kun from Gomoku Zoo.
[14:42] YAEKO
    I'm Kirihara Yaeko.
[14:44] YAEKO
    What's wrong? Are you looking for your home?
SIGN    Fidget Fidget
[14:46] YAEKO
    Wanna come to mine?
[14:47] YAEKO
    I'd love to legally live with a red panda.
[14:49] MAGI/ID
    Yae-chan...
[14:51] MAGI/ID
    I had no idea she loved red pandas so much.
[14:53] MAGI/ID
    No, I had my suspicions,
[14:56] MAGI/ID
    but that's the character Busukure Red
    Panda from the popular game Boogie Crush.
[15:00] MAGI/ID
    I figured she liked them, but I didn't
    realize she was this serious about it.
SIGN    Glance
SIGN     Smack
[15:18] MAGI
    What? What?!
[15:23] YAEKO/ID
    Ma...
[15:25] YAEKO/ID
    Magi-kun achieved his final form!
[15:27] NA
    It's clear that Yaeko has
    some affection for Magi,
[15:32] NA
    but in this moment, that ascended to stanning.
[15:35] NA
    It evolved, like pouring egg over rice.
[15:40] SUKEKIYO
    Um, excuse me.
[15:42] SUKEKIYO
    What's going on right now?
[15:44] SUKEKIYO
    Is everything all right?
[15:46] TOSHIRO
    Your employee caught a Poke—
    I mean, it's all right.
[15:49] TOSHIRO
    We're making progress,
    so please take it easy in there.
[15:53] SUKEKIYO
    O-Okay...
[15:54] SPIRIT A
    How cute!
[15:56] YAEKO
    Maggie-san, look this way.
[15:59] SPIRIT B
    You look great, bud.
[16:00] MOGURA
    The spirits are enjoying this.
[16:02] TOSHIRO
    What should we do?
[16:04] SHIO
    Where's the red panda? I wanna see it!
[16:07] KYOSHIRO
    He's using Magi-san as a shield because
    he seems least likely to get angry.
[16:11] KYOSHIRO
    That's his final resort.
[16:13] MOGURA
    He's made himself right at home.
[16:15] MOGURA
    He's already starting to look like Magi.
[16:18] MOGURA
    What should we do?
[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?
[16:51] TOSHIRO
    Ikebukuro, send the spirits outside.
[16:56] MAGI
    What? No way. That's it?
SIGN    Yawn
[17:00] TOSHIRO
    It's over.
[17:02] TOSHIRO
    You'd have to be a freak to return after
    being threatened by a strange cat.
[17:07] TOSHIRO
    Of course, I'm exorcising those
    freaks more often than not.
[17:11] MAGI
    So most of your work is pretty dull.
[17:15] MOGURA
    So, what's Nabeshima doing?
[17:17] KYOSHIRO
    Nabeshima feels unmotivated right now.
[17:19] MOGURA
    What a cat.
[17:20] MOGURA
    It really does take training
    to handle animal spirits.
[17:25] TOSHIRO
    I'm sorry. We'll pay for the damage.
[17:28] SUKEKIYO
    Oh, no. I'll make headquarters pay for it.
[17:31] KYOSHIRO
    This type of physical cleanup
    is always more work.
[17:35] NA
    This world does not only belong to humans.
[17:38] NA
    There are far more things
    incomprehensible to humans,
[17:42] NA
    whether we notice them or not.

    Is it safe to say this is your true nature?
[18:35] SHIO
    My true nature?
[18:36] SHIO
    Hey, Senpai, where's your cat right now?
[18:38] KYOSHIRO
    You're way worse than any evil spirit.
[18:42] KYOSHIRO
    As far as you're concerned, since you
    can't see them, they don't exist.
[18:45] SHIO
    Come on out!
[18:45] KYOSHIRO
    It's for the best.
[18:47] KYOSHIRO
    Don't believe everything people say.

    I don't know.
[19:41] MAGI
    I don't mean your actual age.
[19:43] MAGI
    I mean physically.
[19:45] MOGURA
    Somewhere in my 30s, I guess?
[19:48] MAGI
    I've always found it odd.
[19:49] MAGI
    Wouldn't it be easier to gather
    flames as an energetic teen?
[19:53] MOGURA
    You idiot!
[19:55] MOGURA
    Don't underestimate the teenage years.
[19:57] MOGURA
    I'd get too hungry to get anything done.
[20:00] MOGURA
    It's too expensive.
[20:02] MOGURA
    In middle age, some days your stomach
    just decides to stop working,
[20:07] MOGURA
    and you can survive off practically nothing.
[20:09] MOGURA
    That said, if I go over 40, then I feel
    terrible about 20 days out of every month.
[20:15] MAGI
    It's tough being human.
[20:17] MOGURA
    Also, teens are easily distracted
    by every boob and butt they see.
[20:22] MAGI
    Aren't you still like that now?
[20:24] MOGURA
    Also, serious talk, a teenage
    body is peak physical form.
[20:29] MOGURA
    It costs too much flame to maintain.
[20:31] MOGURA
    Anyway, not to change the subject,
[20:34] MOGURA
    but people always want to know
    how old others are.
[20:37] MOGURA
    A person's age can affect
    your impression of them.
[20:41] MOGURA
    For example, Toshiro is middle-aged,
    but he's really young for a professor.
[20:45] MOGURA
    Or people might say "my eldest is already
    five" or "my youngest is still only five."

[21:02] MOGURA
    Thanks for the food.
[21:03] MOGURA
    This isn't very good, though.
[21:06] MOGURA
    So, what are you here for?
[21:08] MOGURA
    Despite kindly sticking your
    nose into people's business,
[21:11] MOGURA
    you try to get a read on people
    when you ask them for favors.
[21:14] MOGURA
    If you don't say what you came here for,
    I can keep talking for another ten hours.
