**[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.
