CHAPTER 11
**[02:52] ---**
CONQUER JAPAN! THE 808 TANUKI ARMY
**[03:06] ---**
Huh?
**[03:09] ---**
What the...? The moon split.
**[03:11] ---**
What's going on?
**[03:12] ---**
-Whoa!
-Is it some sort of CG event?
**[03:14] ---**
The moon's falling!
**[03:25] ---**
Huh?
**[03:26] ---**
-It stopped.
-You're right!
**[03:27] ---**
What's going on?!
**[03:28] ---**
*I repeat, civilians are asked
to refrain from going out.*
**[03:30] ---**
SECOND MOON APPEARS OVER TOKYO BAY
**[03:32] ---**
*Currently, the second moon-like object...*
**[03:34] ---**
Mana, what should we do?
**[03:37] ---**
Mana!
**[03:38] ---**
But I can't connect to the internet!
**[03:40] ---**
I can't use RAIN messenger!
**[03:42] ---**
Complaining about the internet
at a time like this?
**[03:44] ---**
I can't reach Dad either!
**[03:47] ---**
Don't worry about him.
**[03:49] ---**
Why are you so confident?
**[03:51] ---**
He goes to the office even when all
the trains are down from a typhoon.
**[03:55] ---**
He'll come home no matter what.
**[04:00] ---**
*This is to the government of Japan.*
**[04:03] ---**
*Hand over control to us,
the 808 Tanuki, immediately.*
**[04:07] ---**
*The second moon is but a warning.*
**[04:11] ---**
*Resist, and something even worse
shall befall Japan.*
**[04:15] ---**
What do we do?!
**[04:17] ---**
But, they're *tanuki*!
**[04:18] ---**
Dealing with *tanuki* is like a joke.
Never saw it coming!
**[04:22] ---**
The second moon is a reality!
**[04:25] ---**
100 meters across, it remains
stationary at 500 meters in the air.
**[04:29] ---**
Taking control of the airwaves is
a violation of radio laws!
**[04:32] ---**
Prime Minister. Victory to the quick.
Let's shoot down the second moon!
**[04:37] ---**
And who will take responsibility
if we do that?
**[04:40] ---**
Then what do we do?!
**[04:42] ---**
First, for bay areas A to H,
**[04:45] ---**
send an emergency evacuation order to
anyone within 5 km of the second moon.
**[04:49] ---**
Place a curfew over the other areas.
**[04:52] ---**
*A curfew has been placed
over this entire area.*
**[04:58] ---**
*"Cat-san,*tanuki *are on TV demanding*
*the government hand over Japan!!"*
**[05:00] ---**
Oh man.
**[05:00] ---**
*"Error. Message cannot be sent.
Please try again."*
**[05:02] ---**
It's still no good...
**[05:04] ---**
I know!
**[05:09] ---**
I should put a letter in
the Yokai Mailbox.
**[05:14] ---**
I think it was around here.
**[05:16] ---**
Mana-chan!
**[05:19] ---**
Oh, Rat Man-san. Don't scare me like that.
**[05:23] ---**
What are you doing?
The city's under martial law.
**[05:26] ---**
Where are you going?
**[05:27] ---**
I was taking this letter to
the Yokai Mailbox.
**[05:30] ---**
Hmm. Kitaro, huh?
**[05:33] ---**
*Tanuki* folks! I've got a traitor here!
**[05:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:52] ---**
It's the age of the *tanuki* now.
**[05:54] ---**
Right, boss?
**[05:59] ---**
We don't want Kitaro
getting involved right now.
**[06:03] ---**
Take the young girl away.
**[06:09] ---**
No! Let go!
**[06:11] ---**
Let go of me!
**[06:24] ---**
"The 808 Tanuki have appeared
and Japan's in trouble!
**[06:28] ---**
Help!! Mana Inuyama."
**[06:30] ---**
Hmm. The 808 Tanuki, huh?
**[06:32] ---**
You know of them, Dad?
**[06:34] ---**
Yes.
**[06:36] ---**
The 808 Tanuki were a group of *tanuki*
that once occupied the Shikoku region.
**[06:42] ---**
Gyobu-Danuki, the *tanuki* with
the greatest *yokai* power, leads.
**[06:46] ---**
With Danichiro, Danjiro, Danzaburo, and
their *tanuki* followers, they number 808.
**[06:52] ---**
The reason they ruled Shikoku
**[06:54] ---**
was largely due to the power of
the Yokai Beast they worship.
**[06:59] ---**
However, over 200 years ago,
a famous monk
**[07:03] ---**
was said to have used a paper talisman
to seal them away.
**[07:07] ---**
So, if the 808 Tanuki
are back, that means...
**[07:10] ---**
Indeed. Someone must have broken the seal.
**[07:13] ---**
Kitaro, we can't just sit around!
**[07:15] ---**
Right, Dad.
**[07:19] ---**
Two moons?
**[07:21] ---**
No. One is the Yokai Beast's egg.
**[07:24] ---**
Its egg?
**[07:25] ---**
Yes. The Yokai Beast comes from
a 700-year-old snake, called the Koryu
**[07:30] ---**
that enters a mirage and lays its egg.
**[07:33] ---**
That egg falls to the earth,
and after centuries underground,
**[07:38] ---**
it rises to the sky once again.
**[07:42] ---**
What does that mean?
**[07:44] ---**
Gyobu-Danuki and the others don't seem to
know how to get that egg down from there.
**[07:50] ---**
If it should fall to the earth, the Yokai
Beast will awaken and it'll be a disaster.
**[07:55] ---**
We have to do something first...
**[08:03] ---**
What?!
**[08:04] ---**
What is it, Catchick?
**[08:06] ---**
It's saying the *tanuki* have taken Mana!
**[08:17] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:18] ---**
They're under this rock?!
**[08:21] ---**
This is a Shakushi Rock.
**[08:23] ---**
They used to be on the side of
lonely rural roads,
**[08:27] ---**
but with the housing development, this one
ended getting left in a place like this.
**[08:42] ---**
I didn't realize there was
such a tunnel beneath Tokyo.
**[08:45] ---**
The 808 Tanuki must have
used underground tunnels
**[08:50] ---**
to get from Shikoku to Tokyo.
**[08:54] ---**
Gyobu-Danuki-sama!
**[08:57] ---**
What?
**[08:58] ---**
GYOBU-DANUKI
**[09:00] ---**
This is Mana Inuyama.
She's friends with Kitaro.
**[09:05] ---**
Kitaro is the *yokai* you mentioned before
who acts like a hero?
**[09:11] ---**
That's right. Because of them, I don't
know how many times I've been hurt!
**[09:16] ---**
He's always helping you!
**[09:19] ---**
Listen, Mana-chan.
This is the world of *yokai*.
**[09:22] ---**
Human or *yokai*, you can tell
whose words carry more weight, right?
**[09:32] ---**
Kitaro!
**[09:36] ---**
Prime Minister, in five minutes defense
forces will begin the second moon attack.
**[09:40] ---**
Is that all right?
**[09:43] ---**
But...
**[09:44] ---**
Why are you hesitating?!
**[09:46] ---**
It'll be too late once
there's secondary damage!
**[09:51] ---**
So you're Kitaro!
**[09:52] ---**
Oh? Isn't he handsome?
**[09:55] ---**
808 Tanuki, give Mana back!
**[09:58] ---**
Kitaro, was it?
**[10:00] ---**
Have you never read
the Yokai Dictionary preface?
**[10:05] ---**
You mean that stuff about the 21st century
being the age of *yokai*?
**[10:09] ---**
That's right.
**[10:10] ---**
Our rule is prophesized destiny,
so to speak.
**[10:14] ---**
If you consider yourself a *yokai*,
what problem is there for you?
**[10:19] ---**
I'm not interested in anything like that.
**[10:22] ---**
The humans will eventually
be ruled by us *tanuki*.
**[10:26] ---**
Kitaro.
**[10:28] ---**
You will convince the other *yokai*
to come under our rule!
**[10:34] ---**
I could never do that!
**[10:37] ---**
Do you care what happens to
this female if you refuse?
**[10:42] ---**
Hurry and decide, Prime Minister!
**[10:44] ---**
If something should happen,
who's going to take responsibility?!
**[10:48] ---**
You're saying that now?!
**[10:57] ---**
-Prime Minister!
-Prime Minister!!
**[10:58] ---**
-Prime Minister!
-Prime Minister!!
**[11:01] ---**
Fine...
**[11:03] ---**
Do it.
**[11:19] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[11:32] ---**
THE 808 TANUKI
**[11:35] ---**
KITARO AND RAT MAN
**[11:37] ---**
*-"No passing."
-"Ge."*
**[11:38] ---**
*"Look me in the eye and tell me."*
**[11:39] ---**
The foolish humans have
knocked down the moon!
**[11:43] ---**
They didn't realize
it was the Yokai Beast's egg!
**[11:46] ---**
Ah! So that means at last
our Yokai Beast-sama shall awaken!
**[11:52] ---**
Yes. Thanks to the humans!
**[11:55] ---**
Well, the Yokai Beast-sama
will take care of the humans.
**[12:01] ---**
The problem is...
**[12:03] ---**
the *yokai*.
**[12:07] ---**
Kitaro, I have an idea.
**[12:10] ---**
For now we...
**[12:13] ---**
Don't you have an answer?
**[12:16] ---**
All right.
**[12:18] ---**
Kitaro?
**[12:19] ---**
I'll do as you say!
**[12:21] ---**
In return, release Mana!
**[12:23] ---**
You're a brazen one!
**[12:25] ---**
Like we'd release our hostage!
**[12:28] ---**
Very well.
**[12:30] ---**
Gyobu-Danuki-sama!
**[12:32] ---**
However!
**[12:32] ---**
Huh?
**[12:36] ---**
Let go!
**[12:43] ---**
Listen up!
**[12:44] ---**
If Kitaro is unable to control the *yokai*,
I shall activate my spell!
**[12:48] ---**
It will turn you into a *tanuki yokai*!
**[12:52] ---**
What?!
**[12:53] ---**
I don't want that!
**[12:55] ---**
If you don't want it, then make sure
you ask Kitaro to do as we say!
**[13:02] ---**
Mana!
**[13:04] ---**
Kitaro!
**[13:06] ---**
Make sure you keep your promise.
**[13:08] ---**
Otherwise, she'll become one of us!
**[13:20] ---**
Man, that hurt!
**[13:22] ---**
Kitaro, that was a mean move earlier.
**[13:24] ---**
Rat Man, what do you intend to do
by following the 808 Tanuki?
**[13:29] ---**
Screw intensions.
It's the age of the *tanuki*-sama now.
**[13:32] ---**
And I'm the 808 Tanuki-san's
first underling.
**[13:36] ---**
I'll get my cut.
**[13:37] ---**
So hurry up and get the other *yokai*
under control for me, huh?
**[13:43] ---**
Remote Controlled Geta!
**[13:46] ---**
You bastard!
**[13:48] ---**
Remote Controlled Geta!
**[13:52] ---**
Catchick.
**[13:54] ---**
Take care of Mana. And tell Sand Witch
and the others about this.
**[13:57] ---**
Got it!
**[13:58] ---**
What will you two do?
**[14:00] ---**
We have a job to do!
**[14:03] ---**
Let's go, Kitaro!
**[14:05] ---**
Yes, Dad!
**[14:24] ---**
What?!
**[14:26] ---**
Something's shining!
**[14:35] ---**
What is happening?
**[14:49] ---**
What is that?
**[14:50] ---**
A giant creature?!
**[14:52] ---**
Is this the *tanuki*'s doing?!
**[14:54] ---**
Is this what they meant by "something even
worse shall befall Japan"?!
**[15:13] ---**
*Target the unidentified creature!*
**[15:16] ---**
*Fire!*
**[15:17] ---**
Roger!
**[15:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:34] ---**
Our weapons don't work at all?!
**[15:37] ---**
The F-35s are on their way.
**[15:39] ---**
The second and third attack helicopter
teams are also moving out.
**[15:43] ---**
If that unidentified creature goes wild
and there are casualties,
**[15:48] ---**
it's going to be the government's fault.
**[15:51] ---**
We'll shoot and shoot and shoot
like crazy. I swear we'll take it down!
**[15:55] ---**
Are you sure about that?
**[15:58] ---**
I'm the one who's going to
have to take responsibility!
**[16:03] ---**
*Locked on target.
Requesting permission to fire.*
**[16:06] ---**
All right! Show them mankind's power!
**[16:09] ---**
*Roger.*
**[16:15] ---**
Yes!
**[16:16] ---**
See? Science is victorious!
**[16:18] ---**
They're only *tanuki* after all!
**[16:21] ---**
Huh?!
**[17:21] ---**
This is... the *tanuki*'s... power?
**[17:37] ---**
*We have just been attacked
by the unidentified creature.*
**[17:39] ---**
DON'T BOW TO THE *TANUKI*'S TYRANNY!!
AKIRA TAKAMI
**[17:39] ---**
-We must unite to overcome this crisis!
-*Please evacuate...*
**[17:44] ---**
Dad! Mom!
**[17:46] ---**
Mana!
**[17:47] ---**
You're all right!
**[17:49] ---**
Honestly! Where were you?
**[17:51] ---**
We looked for you.
**[17:53] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[17:55] ---**
Let's just get to the shelter!
**[17:57] ---**
Okay!
**[18:02] ---**
Catchick, is this it?
**[18:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:05] ---**
Okay. Leave it to me.
**[18:10] ---**
Huh?
**[18:19] ---**
It's no good.
**[18:20] ---**
It moved easily earlier...
**[18:23] ---**
Wally Wall.
**[18:26] ---**
Wally Wall.
**[18:29] ---**
Wally... Wall!
**[18:34] ---**
You're kidding!
The entrance was just here!
**[18:36] ---**
You got away, so they must have
closed off the tunnel.
**[18:40] ---**
What're we gonna do now?
**[18:42] ---**
Gonna do or oughta do, our only choice is
to leave it to Kitaro and Daddy Eyeball!
**[18:47] ---**
Just a little further to the Kaname Stone!
**[18:50] ---**
The Kaname Stone?
**[18:51] ---**
It's the source of the Yokai Beast
and the *tanuki*'s energy!
**[18:56] ---**
Our only hope to save Japan
is to destroy it!
**[19:00] ---**
Hurry, Kitaro!
**[19:02] ---**
Yes, Dad!
**[19:04] ---**
Prime Minister, it's time to decide.
**[19:08] ---**
If the Yokai Beast-sama goes on a rampage,
Tokyo, no, Japan will be decimated.
**[19:14] ---**
If you had just handed over power to us,
you wouldn't have unnecessary casualties.
**[19:22] ---**
Well?
**[19:24] ---**
If I hand over power, all the
responsibility goes to you, you know?
**[19:29] ---**
Of course. We're well aware of that.
**[19:35] ---**
So, what will it be?!
**[19:38] ---**
Very well...
**[19:41] ---**
We'll do as you say...
**[19:43] ---**
-Prime Minister!
-How could you?!
**[19:48] ---**
*The*tanuki *took control from us...*
**[19:51] ---**
*Is this... my fault?!*
**[19:57] ---**
This is the Kaname Stone...
**[20:00] ---**
Kitaro, destroy it!
**[20:02] ---**
Yes, Dad!
**[20:04] ---**
Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
**[20:17] ---**
Kitaro!
**[20:20] ---**
D-Dad...
**[20:23] ---**
Kitaro!
**[20:25] ---**
B-But...
**[20:32] ---**
No more. I can't run any further...
**[20:34] ---**
Hey, look!
**[20:37] ---**
K-Kitaro?!
**[20:40] ---**
That idiot touched the Kaname Stone!
**[20:43] ---**
Wh-What do you mean?!
**[20:45] ---**
Gyobu-Danuki-sama placed a curse
on the Kaname Stone.
**[20:48] ---**
It turns *yokai* that touch it to stone.
**[20:51] ---**
A curse?!
**[20:53] ---**
Hold it!
**[20:55] ---**
Don't touch! Touching him
will turn you to stone, too.
**[20:58] ---**
Well, a half-*yokai* like you
might be all right.
**[21:02] ---**
I wouldn't try, though.
**[21:05] ---**
They put a curse on it...
**[21:09] ---**
I'm sorry, Kitaro! This is my fault!
**[21:13] ---**
Hold on! I swear I'll rescue you!
**[21:18] ---**
*Citizens of Japan!*
**[21:18] ---**
THE AGE OF *TANUKI*!
THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT HANDS OVER POWER
**[21:21] ---**
*Today, the Japanese government has
handed over power to the 808 Tanuki.*
**[21:27] ---**
*We*tanuki *shall*
*oversee your safety and future.*
**[21:32] ---**
*We shall be amending your laws
as necessary,*
**[21:35] ---**
*so watch for government announcements.*
**[21:37] ---**
Kitaro...
**[22:06] ---**
*Oeoeo*
**[22:06] ---**

**[22:07] ---**

In what you can't see*
**[22:11] ---**

If you close your eyes*
