[00:27] ---
    Hey, Miku!
[00:28] ---
    Show me your English homework!
[00:31] ---
    Huh? We had homework?
[00:34] ---
    You should've told me.
    I was home with a cold yesterday.
[00:39] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[00:40] ---
    Crap! Now what?!
    I was counting on you, Miku!
[00:49] ---
    Hey, Tsuchimiya!
[00:52] ---
    Did you do your English homework?
    Huh? Oh, yes.
[00:56] ---
    Really?! Can I borrow it?!
[00:58] ---
    Sure, okay.
    All right! Thank you!
[01:03] ---
    Tsuchimiya. Can I borrow it too?!
[01:06] ---
    Sure.
[01:11] ---
    What is it? An e-mail?
    Yeah. From the hospital.
[01:14] ---
    I didn't know your mom
    was in the hospital.
[01:17] ---
    I'm sorry for asking. You must
    be going through so much...
[01:21] ---
    Huh? No, it's nothing!
[01:23] ---
    I gotta go. You can just leave
    the notebook here when you're done.
[01:29] ---
    Bye!
[01:32] ---
    She's sure in a rush.
    She has it rough...
[01:38] ---
    Sorry to call during class, Kagura.
[01:40] ---
    Sheesh. I feel ashamed,
    always lying to my teachers.
[01:43] ---
    You were sleeping.
[01:45] ---
    You have drool on your face.
[01:52] ---
    Urgh!
[01:54] ---
    That's another one for my
    "Weird Faces of Kagura" collection!
[01:57] ---
    Delete that collection!

    The Cause of the Duty
[03:29] ---
    Is it me, or have there been more
    supernatural disturbances lately?
[03:33] ---
    Yes. I guess there
    have been lots of ghosts.
[03:36] ---
    It had been quiet for a while, too.
[03:39] ---
    It hasn't been like this
    for about three years.
[03:42] ---
    Three years...
[03:44] ---
    I call the last Pocky!
[03:47] ---
    That's not fair!
[03:48] ---
    The early bird catches the worm!
[03:52] ---
    The early bird catches the worm!
[04:10] ---
    How's that? How's that?
[04:12] ---
    Stop!
[04:13] ---
    Oh, come on, now!
[04:15] ---
    Stop! That tickles!
[04:17] ---
    Girls love what they say they hate!
[04:20] ---
    You're like a dirty old man, Yomi!
[04:24] ---
    Don't look, you pervert!
[04:26] ---
    Sorry about calling you
    both out of class today.
[04:31] ---
    Don't worry about it!
    This is our duty, after all!
[04:34] ---
    What, so it's okay
    for an old man to look?!
[04:37] ---
    Iwahata is of the other persuasion.
    Yes.
[04:40] ---
    That makes it okay to look?!
[04:42] ---
    Hey! Sakuraba!
[04:44] ---
    You...
[04:47] ---
    have a nice butt.
[04:49] ---
    D-d-don't look at me that way!
[05:04] ---
    Sorry for the wait.
    What are we dealing with?
[05:06] ---
    I'm closing in on it with the pipe foxes.
[05:15] ---
    A Category B. An Earth Spider.
[05:19] ---
    It's a jumbo-sized one today.
[05:21] ---
    I'll have the chimera take care of it.
    Call your pipe foxes back.
[05:25] ---
    Watch my back, everyone!
[05:27] ---
    We're rear support again?
[05:30] ---
    It's still too soon for you
    to take a lead role.
[05:33] ---
    You need to master the Michael 12 first.
[05:36] ---
    I have mastered it!
[05:37] ---
    Really? Then prove it sometime!
[05:45] ---
    Ranguren!
[05:51] ---
    Let's go!
[05:56] ---
    Let's give Yomi some backup!
    Right!
[06:14] ---
    Ranguren! Roar Wave!
[06:35] ---
    Ranguren! Crack it open!
[07:07] ---
    Kagura.
[07:19] ---
    A civilian?
[07:21] ---
    Yes...
[07:26] ---
    Are you okay? Are you hurt?
[07:30] ---
    You saw it, didn't you?
[07:35] ---
    Then that simplifies things.
[07:37] ---
    We're the Ministry of Environment's
[07:38] ---
    Supernatural Disaster
    Countermeasure Division.
[07:42] ---
    Basically, we're ghost
    elimination specialists.
[07:45] ---
    Ghosts?
[07:46] ---
    Ghosts often target people
    with strong psychic abilities.
[07:50] ---
    Worst case scenario,
    you can't rest in peace
[07:52] ---
    so you become a ghost yourself.
[07:56] ---
    You should stay away
    from places like this.
[08:01] ---
    You're never to speak
    about what you saw here.
[08:05] ---
    Come with me. We'll need
    you to sign an agreement.
[08:09] ---
    Don't throw away your life.
[08:14] ---
    I'll hold onto this. Okay?
[08:18] ---
    I'm sorry...
[08:21] ---
    They say there are no
    other ghosts in the area.
[08:24] ---
    Okay, mission complete. Let's go.
[08:29] ---
    How did you know
    what she was going to do?
[08:32] ---
    It was an educated guess. After a while
    you start to recognize these things.
[08:37] ---
    Oh?
[08:42] ---
    Tsuchimiya!
[08:44] ---
    This is thanks for yesterday!
[08:46] ---
    We made you a lunch.
    Let's eat together!
[08:50] ---
    Okay!
[08:55] ---
    It's good!
[08:57] ---
    Hey, Tsuchimiya. Is your
    mom's illness really bad?
[09:01] ---
    Yatchin...
[09:02] ---
    Oh, no, it's okay, don't worry!
[09:05] ---
    But you're really amazing. You even
    do your homework every day.
[09:09] ---
    It's nothing special.
    I'm just a little busy, that's all.
[09:12] ---
    What about your dad?
[09:15] ---
    Oh, he's hardly ever
    home because of work.
[09:18] ---
    I live at my relative's place now.
[09:21] ---
    What?! That's gotta suck!
[09:24] ---
    Not at all. It's fun!
[09:26] ---
    I get to goof around with my new
    sister and help her with her job!
[09:30] ---
    Job?
[09:31] ---
    Oh, uhh, you know,
    the family business!
[09:35] ---
    Wow! You work too!
[09:37] ---
    I'm still only an apprentice,
    though. I'm not very good at it.
[09:41] ---
    No, just the fact that you
    have a job is incredible!
[09:45] ---
    You think?
    We do!
[10:24] ---
    No! That is no good!
[10:28] ---
    Please use tea seed oil or clove oil
    when caring for a katana!
[10:36] ---
    They are the essence
    of the Japanese people!
[10:39] ---
    Ouch!
[10:41] ---
    Oh! Oh! Oh!
[10:44] ---
    What's the matter, Kagura?
[10:45] ---
    Yomi! Some creepy guy came in here!
[10:48] ---
    Oh, Master Michael!
    I didn't know you were visiting!
[10:52] ---
    Oh, Yomi! It's good to see you again!
[10:55] ---
    You know him?
[10:57] ---
    C'mon, introduce yourself.
    You're being rude.
[11:00] ---
    I'm Kagura Tsuchimiya...
[11:02] ---
    Oh! You must be Master
    Tsuchimiya's daughter!
[11:05] ---
    Nice to meet you!
    I'm Michael Kohara!
[11:10] ---
    Michael Kohara? You mean...?
[11:14] ---
    Yes, he's the renowned
    swordsmith who made that katana!
[11:18] ---
    Yes.
[11:20] ---
    He made the Michael 12?
[11:23] ---
    Yes!
[11:25] ---
    Master Michael makes
    the equipment for the SDCD!
[11:29] ---
    Yes.
[11:30] ---
    Why is he naked?
[11:32] ---
    Yes!
[11:33] ---
    I asked why!
[11:34] ---
    Let me see.
[11:36] ---
    Yes. It has a very nice shine.
    It's still practically new.
[11:42] ---
    Yes, they almost never let me fight.
[11:45] ---
    I told you, it's still too soon for you.
[11:48] ---
    Yomi. Could I see the Shishio?
[11:57] ---
    A great katana, as always.
[12:00] ---
    The spirit energy gushing
    from it is always wonderful.
[12:05] ---
    But...
[12:06] ---
    But?
[12:07] ---
    Its spirit energy is a little low.
[12:09] ---
    It looks like I'll need to resharpen it.
[12:16] ---
    I guess you'll have to fight
    without a Spirit Beast for a while,
[12:18] ---
    while the Shishio is being resharpened.
[12:22] ---
    It can't be helped.
    Everything needs upkeep.
[12:26] ---
    I wish I could use a Spirit Beast.
[12:29] ---
    That'd be perfect
    for times like this, right?
[12:39] ---
    Come here, Kagura.
    I'll scrub your back.
[12:44] ---
    Have you seen your dad at all?
    No, not really.
[12:48] ---
    You really should go say hi
    once in a while. He must feel lonely.
[12:51] ---
    I'm sure he's fine.
    He's never home anyway.
[12:57] ---
    Do you really think I should go home?
[13:01] ---
    Am I... a burden?
[13:05] ---
    Aww!
[13:06] ---
    Y- Yomi!
[13:08] ---
    You're so adorable, Kagura!
[13:10] ---
    Stop! That tickles!
[13:12] ---
    You should be my daughter!
[13:31] ---
    Oh, Master Michael is visiting?
[13:35] ---
    Yes. He's going to take
    the Shishio for a while.
[13:37] ---
    He also wants to work on any
    other SDCD Vanquisher weapons
[13:41] ---
    that require maintenance.
[13:43] ---
    Is that so? Then submit them all at once.
[13:46] ---
    All at once? But what if something
    comes up in the meantime?
[13:50] ---
    I guess it's finally time to have her
    serve as a main fighting member.
[13:55] ---
    Then...?
[13:56] ---
    There is no better
    training than real combat.
[13:59] ---
    Besides, it isn't nice
    to constantly rely on Rannie.
[14:03] ---
    Rannie?
[14:05] ---
    This is the perfect opportunity.
    Adjust their shifts.
[14:08] ---
    Understood. I will
    make the arrangements.
[14:10] ---
    Incidentally...
    Yes, Kiri?
[14:14] ---
    Why is he always naked?
[14:17] ---
    Good question...
[14:20] ---
    Dumbass!
[14:21] ---
    Oops...
[14:22] ---
    He's such an exhausting old guy...
[14:25] ---
    I'm amazed they don't arrest
    him for looking like that.
[14:28] ---
    Sometimes they do.
[14:30] ---
    I guess this means a short
    break from work, Yomi.
[14:33] ---
    I can fight without
    the Shishio, you know.
[14:37] ---
    Iwahata! Let me see
    the Vanquisher equipment!
[14:39] ---
    Most of it is out for maintenance,
    so this is all that's left.
[14:45] ---
    Maybe this might be
    a good girl weapon?
[14:48] ---
    Is that an iron?
[14:49] ---
    The Douglas 28,
    a Vanquisher Knuckle.
[14:53] ---
    Beat ghosts up with holy water
    steam and the knuckle itself!
[14:58] ---
    No good?
[14:59] ---
    Then some other possibilities are...
[15:02] ---
    The Paré 11,
    a Vanquisher chainsaw!
[15:05] ---
    The Jackson 33,
    a Vanquisher jackhammer!
[15:10] ---
    And the J. Fox 55,
    a Vanquisher boiler!
[15:13] ---
    Which do you prefer?
    They're all kind of lame...
[15:16] ---
    This is too heavy to even carry...
[15:19] ---
    I'll take this.
[15:20] ---
    Noriyuki! Come hang out with us!
[15:22] ---
    Sorry, I have a prior commitment today.
[15:24] ---
    Again?
    I have some matches to make up for.
[15:27] ---
    You two should go have some fun.
[15:30] ---
    Yomi! Let's practice with this!
[15:33] ---
    Okay! Let's go!
[15:36] ---
    You sure this is a good idea, Noriyuki?
[15:38] ---
    What do you mean?
[15:39] ---
    Sometimes you need to hang out
    with Isayama. You are engaged.
[15:43] ---
    I should just fawn over
    the person my parents chose?
[15:46] ---
    You have some feelings for her, though.
[15:49] ---
    I dunno. She already has her
    hands full with her "daughter."
[15:54] ---
    I shouldn't get in the way.
[15:56] ---
    That's true.
[15:57] ---
    C'mon, triple-20!
[16:01] ---
    She does care for her
    almost like a mother.
[16:05] ---
    Having a wife and daughter
    and all that arranged for you...
[16:08] ---
    That's gotta be rough.
[16:12] ---
    Nothing but 1s and 5s again!
[16:14] ---
    That's why I'm having
    fun now while I can.
[16:17] ---
    That's nice and all, but don't
    get me too involved.
[16:21] ---
    Why?
[16:22] ---
    Isayama'll hold a grudge against me.
[16:24] ---
    And she's *scary
    *when she has a grudge.
[16:27] ---
    That's true.
[16:32] ---
    I'm finally able to hit it.
[16:35] ---
    Is that even very strong?
[16:37] ---
    Master Michael's weapons are top-notch.
[16:40] ---
    The user's psychic energy can
    make them many times stronger too!
[16:45] ---
    Including your Michael 12!
[16:49] ---
    There were lots of
    weird weapons, though.
[16:51] ---
    Well, he is an artist.
[16:56] ---
    It's from the SDCD.
[16:59] ---
    There's a fluctuation in spirit energy...
[17:01] ---
    It's not far from here.
    Let's check it out.
[17:04] ---
    Yeah!
[17:10] ---
    Where are we? The old Shimbashi
    Station on the Ginza Line.
[17:14] ---
    It looks like it's being used now
[17:15] ---
    as a nighttime railroad
    warehouse and a break area.
[17:18] ---
    Don't touch the conductor rail.
    You'll die of electrocution.
[17:25] ---
    There really have been
    a lot of ghosts lately!
[17:28] ---
    Ghosts are attracted
    to places with evil energy
[17:31] ---
    which makes that
    evil energy even stronger.
[17:35] ---
    That vicious cycle is how
    "ghost spots" are created.
[17:39] ---
    But...
[17:40] ---
    But?
[17:41] ---
    There's always a source behind
    the original evil energy...
[18:17] ---
    Hey, this isn't half-bad!
[18:22] ---
    Category Cs. Ceiling Lickers...
[18:25] ---
    They especially love concrete stains.
[18:28] ---
    This should do it!
[18:51] ---
    It's out of holy water!
[18:59] ---
    Yomi!
[19:14] ---
    Yomi!
[19:18] ---
    I guess this one doesn't
    suit me after all...
[19:21] ---
    Thank goodness...
[19:24] ---
    What's that?
[19:28] ---
    Why is she down here?
[19:31] ---
    Wait, Kagura!
[19:39] ---
    A Category D! A reanimated
    spirit that's become a ghost!
[19:43] ---
    Then, she's already...?
[19:50] ---
    Yomi!
[19:51] ---
    Cut them down!
[19:52] ---
    But...!
[19:53] ---
    They're not human anymore!
[19:54] ---
    But they used to be!
[19:56] ---
    Spirits that have become
    phantoms have to be purified!
[19:59] ---
    Still...!
[20:00] ---
    They're long dead!
[20:04] ---
    Do it, Kagura!
[20:08] ---
    It is our job as Vanquishers
    to dispose of those
[20:10] ---
    who unleash the foulness
    of death in this world!
[20:13] ---
    I know that! But...!
[20:32] ---
    What?
[20:32] ---
    That's...
[20:40] ---
    Master Tsuchimiya...
[20:42] ---
    Father...
[20:46] ---
    Spirit Eater, unleash!
[20:51] ---
    Byakuei!
[21:01] ---
    Byakuei. Eat!
[21:23] ---
    That's the ultimate Spirit Beast,
    passed down in the Tsuchimiya family...
[21:29] ---
    Spirit Eater... Byakuei...
[21:44] ---
    Kagura. Put out your hands.
[21:49] ---
    Yes.
[21:56] ---
    I take it you know the duty
    of those of Vanquisher descent?
[22:00] ---
    Yes.
[22:01] ---
    I take it you also understand
    the enormity of that responsibility?
[22:05] ---
    Yes.
[22:06] ---
    Then devote yourself to that!
[22:13] ---
    Yes.
[22:15] ---
    Master Tsuchimiya...!
[22:19] ---
    Grow stronger.
