    So, you're the one kidnapping children.
[00:24] ---
    Kitaro!
[00:25] ---
    Yokai and humans can't be friends.
[00:35] ---
    The world you see isn't all there is.
[00:38] ---
    There are things you can't see.
[00:41] ---
    See? In the darkness behind you...

    Stupid construction.
    I wish they'd finish already.
[02:19] ---
    Once the event starts, it'll be worse
    with all the traffic restrictions.
[02:25] ---
    Watching it on TV is good enough.
[02:28] ---
    My parents are saying
    they're definitely gonna go.
[02:46] ---
    But, won't tickets be hard to get?
[02:49] ---
    They'll be real expensive
    with all the scalpers.
[02:57] ---
    There's better ways to use that money.
[03:04] ---
    Huh?
[03:05] ---
    Kazuki?
[03:07] ---
    CHAPTER 3
[03:09] ---
    TANTANBO'S YOKAI CASTLE
[03:13] ---
    There's a strange rumor going around
    among the kids recently.
[03:18] ---
    Did we get a letter?
[03:21] ---
    No. Mana sent this.
[03:23] ---
    -"A strange rumor is going around."
    -"Oh-ho."
[03:24] ---
    Mana-chan, huh?
    You two have gotten close all of a sudden.
[03:28] ---
    That's not it.
[03:30] ---
    She just admires me for some reason.
[03:34] ---
    Her again...
[03:39] ---
    Dad, how's the water?
[03:41] ---
    It's perfect.
[03:43] ---
    So, what now, Kitaro?
[03:46] ---
    There's a rumor that children in the city
    are disappearing one after another.
[03:52] ---
    It probably isn't worth our concern.
[03:55] ---
    Wait a minute, Kitaro.
[03:56] ---
    Dad?
[03:58] ---
    You shouldn't underestimate
    rumors among children.
[04:03] ---
    Perhaps we should at least hear
    what she has to say.
[04:08] ---
    Fine. If you insist, Dad.
[04:12] ---
    Kitaro! Cat-san!
[04:14] ---
    Cat-san?
[04:16] ---
    Mana just started calling me that.
    Don't mind it.
[04:20] ---
    I see. So, over ten children
    have gone missing.
[04:25] ---
    Yes.
[04:26] ---
    But, it's just a rumor, right?
[04:29] ---
    I got reliable information by
    checking forums and asking my friends!
[04:35] ---
    Tell me, Mana-chan, why did you think
    to gather this info in the first place?
[04:41] ---
    Before, I didn't believe in
    things I couldn't see at all.
[04:47] ---
    But, after meeting Kitaro and Cat-san,
    I realized that such a world exists.
[04:52] ---
    So, I thought maybe
    I could help you guys...
[04:58] ---
    I see. I appreciate the sentiment.
[05:02] ---
    But, you should stop doing this.
[05:05] ---
    Why?
[05:07] ---
    Now that we're friends,
    I want to help out!
[05:10] ---
    Yokai and humans can't be friends.
[05:16] ---
    If you approach the world of yokai,
    the yokai will approach you.
[05:22] ---
    But, usually the worlds of yokai
    and humans don't mix.
[05:28] ---
    They shouldn't mix.
[05:31] ---
    Ghosts and yokai are better off
    being feared at a distance.
[05:39] ---
    I owe you for saving me
    and I'll make sure to check this out.
[05:45] ---
    But, never get involved in
    something like this again.
[05:49] ---
    Got it?
[05:55] ---
    I sense something.
[05:59] ---
    But, it's pretty weak.
[06:01] ---
    Twelve children have disappeared so far,
[06:05] ---
    but, from across the city to near a river,
    there's no correlation in location.
[06:12] ---
    I guess it's just a rumor after all...
[06:16] ---
    Just a second, Kitaro.
[06:18] ---
    There's a common link to
    all the places we've been!
[06:22] ---
    A construction site.
[06:25] ---
    Hold on.
[06:28] ---
    You're right.
[06:29] ---
    Every place with a rumor always has
    some new building being built!
[06:37] ---
    And so, this facility is
    being constructed at a rapid pace.
[06:45] ---
    This track is scheduled to be used
    for the opening ceremony.
[06:56] ---
    What are those pillars for?
[06:59] ---
    Pillars? Where?
[07:01] ---
    There, in the middle of the track.
[07:03] ---
    What? There's nothing there.
[07:06] ---
    You're crazy, Inuyama!
[07:09] ---
    Nobody can see them?!
[07:11] ---
    I should tell Cat-san and Kitaro!
[07:14] ---
    Yokai and humans can't be friends.
[07:18] ---
    Never get involved in
    something like this again.
[07:22] ---
    Got it?
[07:23] ---
    If I'm uncertain,
    I'll just cause trouble again.

[07:26] ---
    I should investigate more first...
[07:34] ---
    Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!
    If I'm late I'll get yelled at again!
[07:45] ---
    TANTANBO
[07:50] ---
    At last, a full set.
[07:52] ---
    This will be the last pillar.
[07:56] ---
    So, you're the one kidnapping children.
[07:59] ---
    You?!
[08:00] ---
    Be careful, Kitaro. It's the Tantanbo!
[08:04] ---
    Return the children you've kidnapped.
[08:06] ---
    I cannot. We require 13 human sacrifices
    for our objective!
[08:17] ---
    Remote Controlled Geta!
[08:24] ---
    He sank?!
[08:38] ---
    Fool. Stay there as a stone forever.
[08:56] ---
    Oh, Kitaro. That was a deft dodge!
[09:00] ---
    I had a bad feeling.
    The way he made the road ripple...
[09:04] ---
    He never had an ability
    to control concrete before.
[09:08] ---
    I wonder why the Tantanbo
    emerged now of all times.
[09:13] ---
    I thought he and the Futakuchi-Onna
    and the Kamaitachi
[09:17] ---
    were all sealed away in a stone
    along with the Yokai Castle.
[09:20] ---
    The Yokai Castle?
[09:21] ---
    It's a castle they built
    deep in the mountains a long time ago.
[09:25] ---
    But, why...?
[09:28] ---
    That's it! The construction sites.
[09:31] ---
    Could it be...?
[09:45] ---
    One?
[09:48] ---
    Help!
[09:49] ---
    Help me!
[09:51] ---
    Please!
[09:52] ---
    Someone!
[09:54] ---
    -Lemme out!
    -Let me out!
[09:58] ---
    Let me out! Please let me out!
[10:01] ---
    Help me!
[10:02] ---
    It's dark. I can't move... Mommy!
[10:06] ---
    People are...
[10:07] ---
    Please!
[10:08] ---
    Let me out!
[10:10] ---
    They're trapped inside?!
[10:16] ---
    "It looks like children are
    trapped inside pillars."

[10:23] ---
    Well, well.
    A young girl here by herself...
[10:27] ---
    She looks juicy and yummy.
    Maybe I'll eat her...
[10:28] ---
    FUTAKUCHI-ONNA, KAMAITACHI
[10:34] ---
    Wait, Futakuchi-Onna.
[10:36] ---
    Don't get in my way!
[10:38] ---
    This is perfect.
    We need one more kid for the last pillar.
[10:43] ---
    Right, Tantanbo?
[10:45] ---
    Right!
[10:47] ---
    Very well.
[10:53] ---
    Kitaro!
[10:55] ---
    SEND
[11:18] ---
    Hurry! The center of this incident
    is probably...
[11:22] ---
    Dad, look!
[11:53] ---
    GEGEGE NO KITARO YOKAI CASTLE
[11:56] ---
    TANTANBO AND KITARO WITH HIS FRIENDS
[11:58] ---
    -"Eek!"
    -"What?"
[11:59] ---
    "Scratch, scratch."
[12:01] ---
    The mountain where the Yokai Castle was
    sealed was reduced to nothing by humans.
[12:06] ---
    Concrete is made by mixing
    cement and gravel.
[12:10] ---
    Cement is made from limestone
[12:12] ---
    and gravel is made by
    breaking down mountain rocks.
[12:16] ---
    The stone that sealed the Yokai Castle
    must have mixed with those materials.
[12:20] ---
    As a result, concrete containing their
    shards were used in various constructions.
[12:26] ---
    That's why they can travel anywhere that
    contains such shards and control them.
[12:34] ---
    And the place where materials
    were used the most is probably...
[12:41] ---
    Kitaro!
[12:43] ---
    Look at this!
[12:45] ---
    It looks like the children
    are being held in these pillars!

[12:48] ---
    I had to know, so I came to check.
[12:51] ---
    I'm sorry to break my promise.
[12:53] ---
    But, please, you have to save everyone!!
[12:59] ---
    She's a good child.
[13:01] ---
    Yes.
[13:02] ---
    Hey!
[13:06] ---
    You're gonna help, right?
    We'll lend a hand.
[13:09] ---
    We still owe that girl for saving you.
[13:13] ---
    Wally Wall.
[13:15] ---
    Everyone...
[13:17] ---
    Thank you. I'll need your help.
[13:20] ---
    It may hurt, but don't worry.
[13:23] ---
    Inside those pillars,
    you won't age or die.
[13:27] ---
    You will support the Yokai Castle forever.
[13:31] ---
    Kitaro!
[13:33] ---
    Here goes!
[13:35] ---
    You're here!
[13:37] ---
    Watch it! What're you doin'?
[13:40] ---
    Let's go, too!
[13:44] ---
    Leave me be!
[13:46] ---
    I'm gonna be sick!
[13:48] ---
    Don't do that!
[13:50] ---
    Too slow. This'll finish it!
[13:52] ---
    Hair Needles!
[13:56] ---
    Old Man Crybaby, take out that wall!
[13:58] ---
    Got it!
[14:00] ---
    Anything to get down from here!
[14:06] ---
    Now!
[14:06] ---
    Wally Wall!
[14:10] ---
    Good going! I'll kiss you later.
[14:16] ---
    You're going nowhere!
[14:22] ---
    Dammit!
[14:24] ---
    Rollo Cloth, take care of him!
[14:26] ---
    Cotton copies!
[14:32] ---
    Be careful, Kitaro.
[14:33] ---
    Yes, Dad.
[14:42] ---
    Hair Needles!
[14:51] ---
    Paralysis Sand!
[14:55] ---
    My body...!
[15:01] ---
    Good going!
[15:02] ---
    That was easier than I--
[15:08] ---
    Here goes!
[15:11] ---
    That was easy.
[15:14] ---
    What?!
[15:16] ---
    You'll never defeat me like that!
[15:21] ---
    -Owie!
    -This is so easy my sickles are rusting!
[15:24] ---
    Remote Controlled Geta!
[15:27] ---
    Fool!
[15:29] ---
    So long as the Yokai Castle exists,
    we are invincible!
[15:39] ---
    Kitaro!
[15:48] ---
    Hold on, Kitaro!
[15:51] ---
    How pathetic, Kitaro.
[15:54] ---
    Tantanbo, what are you guys trying to do
    by resurrecting the Yokai Castle?!
[16:00] ---
    Let me ask you this.
    Looking at this world, how do you feel?
[16:06] ---
    After awakening from our long slumber,
[16:10] ---
    we saw humans had polluted, twisted,
    and wounded the world as they pleased.
[16:17] ---
    That's why I realized,
[16:19] ---
    this world does not need humans after all!
[16:23] ---
    This castle can absorb humans
    and turn them into yokai.
[16:28] ---
    Therefore, we decided that
    we should use that power
[16:31] ---
    and create a world of nothing but yokai!
[16:35] ---
    You would exterminate the humans.
    That's your objective?
[16:38] ---
    Indeed!
[16:39] ---
    We will show those humans
    who would scorn and consume this world!
[16:45] ---
    With the Yokai Castle, we can do that!
[16:51] ---
    Humans dismiss that which they can't see.
[16:54] ---
    They no longer fear the dark
    and have become arrogant.
[16:58] ---
    I've been annoyed at them, too.
[17:01] ---
    But, the moment you act like they do
    and try to exterminate them,
[17:06] ---
    you become no better...
    no, you become worse than them.
[17:10] ---
    Humans and yokai.
[17:13] ---
    To assume only one should exist
    is never right.
[17:17] ---
    I...
[17:20] ---
    I hate those who can't accept
    others that are different from them!
[17:26] ---
    Remote Controlled Geta!
[17:28] ---
    Internal Electricity!
[17:37] ---
    Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
[17:42] ---
    You got him?!
[17:43] ---
    It's futile.
[17:45] ---
    So long as this castle exists,
    we will continue to regenerate.
[17:50] ---
    Not even Kitaro can beat them?!
[17:52] ---
    There's no end to them reviving!
[17:55] ---
    This is terrible!
[17:57] ---
    They're truly one with the castle!
[18:06] ---
    One with the castle...
[18:09] ---
    Catchick, call the girl's phone!
[18:12] ---
    INCOMING CALL
    CAT-SAN
[18:22] ---
    Right there!
[18:40] ---
    Hold on!
[18:42] ---
    Kitaro...
[18:43] ---
    I knew you'd come.
[18:49] ---
    You dare!
[18:51] ---
    That's it. They can't use
    the castle's power anymore!
[18:55] ---
    -Now!
    -Right!
[18:57] ---
    How dare you!
[18:59] ---
    That's my line!
[19:07] ---
    Wally Wall!
[19:16] ---
    Kitaro!
[19:25] ---
    Finger Guns!
[19:29] ---
    Impossible...
[19:31] ---
    How could we...
[19:34] ---
    ...lose...
[19:44] ---
    They seem to be all right, physically.
[19:47] ---
    We can leave the rest to
    the human doctors.
[19:51] ---
    Thank goodness.
[19:54] ---
    I'm sorry! You were right, Kitaro.
[19:57] ---
    I got involved where I shouldn't have
    and ended up causing you trouble.
[20:02] ---
    Wait. Should she be apologizing?
[20:05] ---
    I'm pretty sure it's thanks to Mana
    that we beat them.
[20:09] ---
    Besides, this is all because you pushed
    her away with what you said, Kitaro.
[20:14] ---
    I know that.
[20:16] ---
    But...
[20:17] ---
    Speak up. This is unlike you, Kitaro.
[20:21] ---
    I was able to protect her this time.
    But, what about next time?
[20:27] ---
    That's why I didn't want her to
    get involved with things from our world...
[20:33] ---
    Wait a minute.
[20:35] ---
    The fact that you feel that way
    means you care about Mana.
[20:40] ---
    I guess you already think of her
    as a friend, don't you, Kitaro?
[20:46] ---
    That's...
[20:49] ---
    Listen, Kitaro.
[20:51] ---
    For yokai and humans, beings from
    different worlds, to live together,
[20:56] ---
    what do you think is
    the most important thing?
[21:00] ---
    It's to respect and
    to try to understand each other.
[21:06] ---
    Um, I'd like to know more about yokai
    and about you, too, Kitaro!
[21:12] ---
    I know I'm a bother,
    but, will you be my friend?!
[21:24] ---
    Oh very well...
[21:26] ---
    If I don't keep my eye on you,
    you're likely to get in more trouble.
[21:35] ---
    Mana.
[21:43] ---
    Still, it's curious.
[21:45] ---
    What is?
[21:47] ---
    The arrow you were shot with
[21:49] ---
    and the sorcery that was used to
    resurrect the Yokai Castle.
[21:53] ---
    We have no idea who's doing it
    or for what purpose yet,
[21:58] ---
    but here's hoping things don't get ugly.
