*GeGeGe no Kitaro*
**[00:19] ---**

No. From destiny.

*Yui Ramu Nochi*
**[02:55] ---**
What a foolish thing!
**[03:09] ---**
Just like always.
**[03:10] ---**
You do nothing but make the wrong choices.
**[03:15] ---**
ADELE
**[03:16] ---**
Isn't that right, Agnes?
**[03:20] ---**
Adele...
**[03:21] ---**
AGNES
**[03:24] ---**
You think you can run?
**[03:25] ---**
This castle is...
**[03:26] ---**
No. From destiny.
**[03:31] ---**
Give me the ring, Agnes.
**[03:33] ---**
Never!
**[03:45] ---**
Agnes!
**[03:49] ---**
After her!
**[03:57] ---**
Who...?!
**[04:00] ---**
I'll choose where I go!
**[04:12] ---**
*Little witch, little witch
Little girl of magic*
**[04:17] ---**
*Where you proceed is my desire*
**[04:25] ---**
CHAPTER 27
**[04:27] ---**
INVASION! THE BACKBEARD ARMY
**[04:35] ---**
*Bi, bi, bibibi no bi*
**[04:39] ---**
*Any opportunities for profit anywhere?*
**[04:43] ---**
*The reason the sky's so blue*
**[04:47] ---**
*The reason the fish aren't biting at all*
**[04:50] ---**
*It's all the fault of politics*
**[04:56] ---**
Huh? What?
**[05:07] ---**
They're *yokai* who drifted to Japan.
**[05:10] ---**
Drifted?
**[05:16] ---**
Their home country was ruined,
and they barely escaped with their lives.
**[05:22] ---**
It's a sad story.
**[05:27] ---**
And so...
**[05:29] ---**
*Yokai* of Japan, I must swallow my pride
and beg of you.
**[05:33] ---**
Please let us use these woods as...
**[05:37] ---**
MIMINAGA
**[05:38] ---**
Don't finish that thought.
**[05:40] ---**
Huh?
**[05:41] ---**
Though from different lands,
we're all *yokai*.
**[05:45] ---**
Stay here as long as you like.
**[05:49] ---**
This is Japanese *sake*. Want some?
**[05:51] ---**
Hold on a second!
**[05:53] ---**
Rat Man, you're against this?
**[05:56] ---**
Hah! Do I really look like
such a heartless guy?
**[06:01] ---**
Everyone's absolutely welcome here!
**[06:03] ---**
So, about the rent...
**[06:06] ---**
Rat Man!
**[06:07] ---**
I-I-I-I'll hold the deposit and key money!
**[06:11] ---**
Give it a rest!
**[06:13] ---**
Come on! Don't be like that!
**[06:15] ---**
Huh?
**[06:21] ---**
From now on we're family! Brothers!
Best of friends!
**[06:24] ---**
If you ever need anything,
don't be afraid to ask for it!
**[06:29] ---**
From him.
**[06:32] ---**
Later!
**[06:35] ---**
That Rat Man...
**[06:38] ---**
We'll return your jewels later.
**[06:40] ---**
It's fine. You were kind enough to
take us in anyway.
**[06:43] ---**
So, what happened where ya guys came from?
**[06:50] ---**
Whenever I ask them,
they always act like this.
**[06:59] ---**
We followed the unique waves
emitted by the ring,
**[07:02] ---**
but someone interfered,
and the signal was temporarily lost...
**[07:06] ---**
Fool!
**[07:09] ---**
Adele.
**[07:11] ---**
That ring is the key to
the Brigadoon Project.
**[07:16] ---**
I'm sure you're aware of that.
**[07:19] ---**
Yes! I swear I shall get the ring back.
**[07:27] ---**
Adele-sama.
**[07:31] ---**
Wolfgang.
**[07:34] ---**
I see you got the riot act.
**[07:38] ---**
WOLFGANG
**[07:39] ---**
So, have you found where the ring is?
**[07:42] ---**
Yes. Japan.
**[07:44] ---**
Very well.
**[07:46] ---**
Then allow me, Wolfgang to go there.
**[07:57] ---**
As thanks for your welcome, allow us to
offer specialty cooking from our country.
**[08:09] ---**
Fortunately, the forest was
full of ingredients.
**[08:13] ---**
Is it not your liking?
**[08:15] ---**
N-No, that's not it!
**[08:17] ---**
Catchick, you're being rude.
**[08:20] ---**
Obviously food culture is different in
different countries.
**[08:29] ---**
This is perfect with some *sake*.
**[08:52] ---**
Don't be stupid! We can't beat them!
**[08:56] ---**
We'll fight nonetheless!
**[08:59] ---**
We can't just sit back
after what they did to our home!
**[09:10] ---**
Dancing's the only way
to deal with the pain!
**[09:20] ---**
I can't sleep...
**[09:23] ---**
We're counting on you.
**[09:24] ---**
I'm not looking forward to this.
**[09:29] ---**
That's the case.
**[09:31] ---**
Hmm. So you won't even let us
grieve for our home?
**[09:37] ---**
It's not just about the music.
**[09:55] ---**
Biddy is a *yokai* who pees in rivers.
It can't be helped.
**[10:01] ---**
There's also...
**[10:06] ---**
The Take-Nezumi spirits are *yokai*
that eat bamboo. It can't be helped.
**[10:12] ---**
Different countries
have different customs.
**[10:15] ---**
I'm aware of that.
**[10:18] ---**
But, if you can't accept our customs,
**[10:23] ---**
you never should have
allowed us to live here!
**[10:26] ---**
If I may,
**[10:28] ---**
Japan has the saying, "one should
conform to the custom of the land."
**[10:32] ---**
Respecting diversity is the
mainstay of international norms!
**[10:36] ---**
Diversity!
**[10:37] ---**
Inclusion!
**[10:39] ---**
Political correctness!
**[10:41] ---**
Japan's human rights awareness can
only be described as medieval!
**[10:45] ---**
In order to be respected
as a nation in international society...
**[10:49] ---**
You let him out-debate you?!
**[10:51] ---**
In that case,
**[10:53] ---**
you should reply, "In Rome they say,
'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'"!
**[11:00] ---**
Huh. I've never heard that saying before.
**[11:08] ---**
But it's our land...
**[11:11] ---**
But they took all our jewels...
**[11:15] ---**
-It's unfortunate.
-Indeed.
**[11:18] ---**
Miminaga-san,
couldn't we talk this over again?
**[11:21] ---**
We've talked enough.
**[11:23] ---**
Keeping out of each other's way.
**[11:25] ---**
That's probably
the best option, Kitaro-san.
**[11:30] ---**
Hmm.
**[11:32] ---**
The refugee problem.
**[11:33] ---**
It's an issue we cannot avoid
living in the 21st century.
**[11:42] ---**
You're the one who complicated things
by taking the jewels!
**[11:46] ---**
Yet here you are with that smug
talk show host expression!
**[11:49] ---**
You piss me off!
**[11:52] ---**
It's not my fault!
It's the cryptocurrency market!
**[11:55] ---**
What?!
**[11:57] ---**
Ow!
**[11:58] ---**
What's wrong, Rat Man?
**[12:08] ---**
A jewel?
**[12:09] ---**
I kept one as a keepsake.
**[12:12] ---**
Did we ever have a jewel like that?
**[12:15] ---**
Something's strange.
**[12:22] ---**
My spell of mimicry was broken
from the outside?!
**[12:25] ---**
No. Someone used Adele's magic stone?
**[12:30] ---**
Who are you?
**[12:32] ---**
Agnes-sama.
**[12:39] ---**
Wolfgang!
**[12:41] ---**
Please return to the castle, Agnes-sama.
**[12:45] ---**
-What's going on?
-Don't know.
**[12:47] ---**
Th-That's...!
**[12:49] ---**
Th-That's one of the guys
who ruined our country!
**[12:55] ---**
What?!
**[12:59] ---**
WITCH
**[13:03] ---**
MALAY *YOKAI* MIMINAGA
**[13:04] ---**
-*"Yeah, yeah. You're hot and cold."*
-*"Huh?!"*
**[13:05] ---**
*"What'd I do?"*
**[13:23] ---**
They destroyed our home and our friends!
**[13:28] ---**
You've come after me, Wolfgang.
**[13:33] ---**
Agnes-sama, Adele-sama is
disappointed in you.
**[13:38] ---**
Hey, you.
**[13:49] ---**
We're trapped!
**[13:51] ---**
Wh-What is that?!
**[13:53] ---**
Stay there.
**[13:56] ---**
I was correct for coming
in Adele-sama's stead.
**[14:00] ---**
You've both just lost your mother.
**[14:04] ---**
You should at least support each other
like sisters for now.
**[14:14] ---**
Dad, what is that?!
**[14:16] ---**
It must be Western magic.
**[14:23] ---**
Honestly.
**[14:25] ---**
I promised Adele-sama to bring you
and the ring back unharmed.
**[14:31] ---**
Don't force my hand any further.
**[14:36] ---**
Let go of me! Let go!
**[14:38] ---**
The Brigadoon Project cannot proceed
without that ring, you see.
**[14:44] ---**
The Brigadoon Project?
**[14:45] ---**
It can't be... Japan, too?!
**[14:50] ---**
Who said you could speak?
**[14:56] ---**
Don't try it!
**[15:02] ---**
The reason you're still alive
**[15:05] ---**
is because you didn't have the spirit
to die with your homeland.
**[15:09] ---**
It's because you're garbage!
**[15:18] ---**
Cowardly, homeless filth.
**[15:22] ---**
H-Hey!
**[15:24] ---**
This time... This time...!
**[15:26] ---**
What?
**[15:28] ---**
I'll protect our new home!
**[15:33] ---**
No!
**[15:40] ---**
Miminaga!
**[16:02] ---**
Finger Guns!
**[16:08] ---**
He broke Adele's barrier spell
with one hit?!
**[16:12] ---**
Oh? Interesting.
**[16:14] ---**
This is for Miminaga!
**[16:21] ---**
What?!
**[16:22] ---**
How ruthless!
**[16:25] ---**
This is unforgivable!
**[16:28] ---**
I am Wolfgang.
**[16:30] ---**
What is your name?
**[16:32] ---**
I'll need to know to
carve it into the grave.
**[16:35] ---**
Kitaro!
**[16:36] ---**
GeGeGe no Kitaro!
**[16:39] ---**
The moon isn't out yet,
but this should be fine.
**[17:01] ---**
Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
**[17:06] ---**
Whoops!
**[17:07] ---**
Take this!
**[17:16] ---**
Hey, you!
**[17:24] ---**
Hair Needles!
**[17:25] ---**
Hah!
**[17:28] ---**
Oh no you don't!
**[17:32] ---**
Where's my jewel?
**[17:34] ---**
Th-That was just me using a mimicry spell
to disguise myself.
**[17:38] ---**
Dammit! Just my luck!
**[17:41] ---**
One more question.
**[17:42] ---**
Where can I run that's safe?
**[17:48] ---**
You're useless!
**[17:49] ---**
So long!
**[17:52] ---**
*Where can I run?*
**[17:54] ---**
You think you can run?
**[17:56] ---**
This castle is...
**[17:57] ---**
No. From destiny.
**[18:09] ---**
Wally Wall!
**[18:14] ---**
Japanese *yokai*, is that all you've got?
**[18:25] ---**
But...!
**[18:26] ---**
He's regenerating any damage he takes!
**[18:30] ---**
Does he have any weaknesses?!
**[18:32] ---**
I don't know much about Western *yokai*.
**[18:36] ---**
I know.
**[18:38] ---**
I'll carve this on the grave,
**[18:40] ---**
"GeGeGe no Kitaro rests here.
He couldn't do anything."
**[18:47] ---**
Die!
**[18:50] ---**
You?!
**[18:52] ---**
Use this!
**[18:55] ---**
Is this...?
**[18:56] ---**
It looks like a silver bullet.
**[18:58] ---**
Silver?
**[19:01] ---**
Kitaro!
**[19:09] ---**
Finger Guns!
**[19:21] ---**
Agnes-sama!
**[19:23] ---**
A silver bullet...
**[19:25] ---**
You'd tell the Japanese *yokai*
the weakness of one of your own?!
**[19:31] ---**
Go tell Adele,
**[19:33] ---**
I'm going to fight my destiny.
**[19:41] ---**
He disappeared?
**[19:42] ---**
It's a magic stone of teleportation.
**[19:51] ---**
If we'd had
another chance to talk it over...
**[19:55] ---**
The results would have been the same.
**[19:57] ---**
I know.
**[19:59] ---**
But...
**[20:11] ---**
Who are you?
**[20:13] ---**
What was that Brigadoon Project
they were talking about?
**[20:18] ---**
-Protect me.
-Huh?
**[20:20] ---**
They're after me.
**[20:23] ---**
Protect me.
**[20:26] ---**
All right. What's your name?
**[20:30] ---**
It's Agnes.
**[20:31] ---**
Nice to meet you, GeGeGe no Kitaro.
**[20:48] ---**
I just let my guard down this time.
Send me back to Japan again.
**[20:53] ---**
Next time is with everyone.
**[21:01] ---**
VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN
**[21:05] ---**
CARMILLA
**[21:09] ---**
We're taking our strongest forces.
**[21:11] ---**
But...
**[21:13] ---**
Backbeard-sama has commanded it.
**[21:22] ---**
BACKBEARD
**[21:25] ---**
We shall now begin a war
with the Japanese *yokai*.
**[21:31] ---**
The Great Yokai War!
**[21:40] ---**
*War... People...
