    Objection!
[00:19] ---
    Kitaro did nothing wrong!
[00:24] ---
    Why you...!
[00:30] ---
    The world you see isn't all there is.
[00:34] ---
    There are things you can't see.

[02:25] ---
    Kitaro-san, you're under arrest.

    CHAPTER 42
[02:36] ---
    MOMON-JII'S SCHEME
    THE GREAT YOKAI TRIAL
[02:41] ---
    So, why was Kitaro arrested?
[02:45] ---
    Yeah! What'd they say he did?
[02:49] ---
    Well, it seems...
[02:52] ---
    Wait! What crime is
    my son being arrested for?!
[02:56] ---
    GeGeGe no Kitaro,
[02:58] ---
    there's a warrant for your arrest for
    the obliteration of the Hitotsume-Kozo.
[03:03] ---
    There must be some mistake!
    The Hitotsume-Kozo is a harmless yokai!
[03:07] ---
    Kitaro would never obliterate him!
[03:11] ---
    Save your defense for...
[03:13] ---
    the Great Yokai Trial!
[03:17] ---
    Dad!
[03:18] ---
    Kitaro!
[03:20] ---
    Dad!
[03:26] ---
    A crime of obliteration?!
[03:27] ---
    Did Kitaro do something to
    the Hitotsume-Kozo?
[03:31] ---
    Of course not!
[03:33] ---
    Isn't obliteration
[03:34] ---
    a crime in name only,
    that hasn't been used in centuries?
[03:40] ---
    It's from the age when
    conflict between yokai was unending.
[03:44] ---
    Can that still apply today?
[03:47] ---
    The law is still the law.
[03:50] ---
    But, the Great Yokai Trial
    hasn't been held in the past century.
[03:55] ---
    Kitaro innocent.
[03:58] ---
    Of course he is. Someone set him up.
[04:01] ---
    Are you sure?
[04:05] ---
    Hear me out.
[04:06] ---
    How many yokai do you think
    Kitaro's defeated until now?
[04:17] ---
    See? Maybe this arrest is just a cover
    and that's what they're really after.
[04:23] ---
    Rat Man!
[04:24] ---
    Wait, wait, wait!
[04:26] ---
    I'm just saying we should calm down
    and settle everything in court!
[04:31] ---
    That's surprisingly sensible for you.
[04:34] ---
    What Rat Man says may be right.
[04:38] ---
    The Great Yokai Trial is sure to
    reach a fair verdict.
[04:46] ---
    I'm going to check the old scriptures
    and go through past trial records.
[04:51] ---
    Everyone gather yokai who'll give
    testimony that benefits Kitaro.
[04:55] ---
    -Okay!
    -Cotton copies!
[04:57] ---
    She's completely ignoring me
    by not reading my texts!
[05:01] ---
    I was hoping to go out tomorrow.
[05:04] ---
    I guess Cat-san's busy?
[05:08] ---
    ...and so, Kitaro is innocent!
[05:13] ---
    Maybe I'm not being persuasive enough?
[05:16] ---
    Practicing your testimony,
    Old Man Crybaby?
[05:19] ---
    You need to calm down.
[05:21] ---
    Who can calm down?!
    Kitaro's trial is tomorrow!
[05:26] ---
    This is unlike you.
[05:28] ---
    How about a drink to get you going?
[05:31] ---
    That's considerate of you.
[05:33] ---
    Now, now, now. Drink up.
[05:54] ---
    Judged and condemned
    Guts spilled bare

[05:58] ---
    Soaked in blood or facing death
[06:03] ---
    With Kitaro bound by law
[06:07] ---
    How will the scales of judgement tip?
[06:11] ---
    Will it be cruel judgement?
    Will it be heartless betrayal?

[06:43] ---
    Where's the rest of our defense?
[06:45] ---
    It doesn't make sense for Sand Witch
    and the others not to come.
[06:49] ---
    Maybe the ones who set this up
    did something.
[06:53] ---
    Careful with your defense.
[06:56] ---
    The Great Yokai Trial is now in session.
[07:02] ---
    In consideration of
    those who can only come out at night,
[07:07] ---
    the gallery will be shrouded in darkness.
[07:10] ---
    GeGeGe no Kitaro has been charged by
    the prosecution
[07:13] ---
    for the crime of the obliteration of
    the Hitotsume-Kozo.
[07:16] ---
    Does the prosecution concur?
[07:19] ---
    MOMON-JII
[07:21] ---
    Dai-Tengu-sama, against the defendant,
    GeGeGe no Kitaro,
[07:25] ---
    the prosecution demands a
    500-year liquefaction penalty.
[07:29] ---
    Dai-Tengu-sama,
    the defendant pleads not guilty.
[07:33] ---
    Let the prosecution's witness,
    the Yobuko, take the stand.
[07:41] ---
    You witnessed the scene of
    the Hitotsume-Kozo's obliteration.
[07:46] ---
    Is that correct?
[07:48] ---
    Yeah.
[07:49] ---
    Is the individual who obliterated
    the Hitotsume-Kozo in this courtroom?
[07:53] ---
    I don't wanna say.
[07:55] ---
    You may just point if necessary.
[08:04] ---
    -I...
    -Silence.
[08:07] ---
    Please share with us the details of
    what you saw.
[08:12] ---
    It was a few days ago...
[08:15] ---
    I was walking along the swamp
    to go fishing.
[08:20] ---
    Stop! Please don't!
[08:22] ---
    What did I do to deserve this?!
[08:26] ---
    Hitotsume-Kozo?
[08:27] ---
    You didn't do anything.
[08:29] ---
    Kitaro?
[08:31] ---
    It's because you didn't do anything.
[08:33] ---
    Yokai are of no use to humans.
[08:38] ---
    I'm GeGeGe no Kitaro.
[08:41] ---
    A yokai who obliterates yokai for humans.
[08:45] ---
    Hair Needles!
[09:03] ---
    Hitotsume-Kozo was...!
[09:05] ---
    Kitaro said he was a
    "yokai who obliterates yokai for humans."
[09:10] ---
    Are you sure of that?
[09:14] ---
    You also witnessed the obliteration of the
    Hitotsume-Kozo by hair needles?
[09:19] ---
    Yeah.
[09:20] ---
    The prosecution submits
    evidence number one,
[09:23] ---
    hair needles from the scene.
[09:25] ---
    Number three and seven,
[09:27] ---
    Kitaro's geta and a geta footprint
    left at the scene.
[09:37] ---
    The court acknowledges that they are
    a perfect match.
[09:43] ---
    No further questions.
[09:45] ---
    Yobuko-san, do you go fishing often?
[09:49] ---
    Every now and then.
[09:51] ---
    Do you often encounter friends then?
[09:54] ---
    Hardly ever.
[09:56] ---
    That's strange.
[09:58] ---
    So, at a place
    you rarely encounter friends,
[10:02] ---
    you just happened to stumble upon
    the Hitotsume-Kozo being obliterated?
[10:07] ---
    Objection!
[10:08] ---
    This questioning is irrelevant!
[10:11] ---
    No, it has very important relevance!
[10:14] ---
    Objection overruled.
[10:15] ---
    Continue.
[10:17] ---
    Well?
[10:17] ---
    Now that you mention it, you're right!
[10:20] ---
    In a location
    you rarely encounter friends,
[10:23] ---
    you coincidentally stumbled upon
    the Hitotsume-Kozo being obliterated.
[10:28] ---
    Don't you think it's strange?
[10:30] ---
    You happened to,
    coincidentally, just by chance...
[10:34] ---
    Try to remember clearly.
[10:36] ---
    Did you really see the moment when
    the Hitotsume-Kozo was obliterated?
[10:42] ---
    Was it really the defendant who did it?
[10:46] ---
    Isn't it possible you were set up
    just so you could be a witness?!
[10:52] ---
    Objection!
[10:54] ---
    The defense is intentionally
    leading the witness
[10:57] ---
    by repeatedly saying "coincidence!"
[11:00] ---
    The fact that it may have been a setup
    is unsubstantiated speculation!
[11:04] ---
    Objection sustained.
[11:06] ---
    Strike the defense's words
    from the record.
[11:13] ---
    No further questions.
[11:14] ---
    What a shame!
[11:16] ---
    Shouldn't she pace herself more?
[11:19] ---
    Kitaro good guy.
[11:22] ---
    Kitaro innocent.
[11:24] ---
    Talk about unconvincing...
[11:26] ---
    Well, don't worry about it.
    This is what best friends are for.
[11:31] ---
    We're counting on you, Rat Man!
[11:35] ---
    What is your relation to the defendant?
[11:38] ---
    We've been
    best, best, best friends forever!
[11:41] ---
    Refrain from unnecessary embellishment.
[11:44] ---
    Yessir.
[11:45] ---
    As his best friend,
[11:48] ---
    do you believe the defendant would ever
    obliterate the Hitotsume-Kozo?
[11:53] ---
    As his best friend,
    it truly pains me to say this, but...
[12:00] ---
    it's absolutely possible!
[12:02] ---
    Wh...?!
[12:03] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[12:06] ---
    Continue.
[12:08] ---
    The defendant always acts as
    a friend of the humans
[12:11] ---
    and regularly obliterates us yokai!
[12:16] ---
    -Rat Man...
    -Silence.
[12:19] ---
    The Nobiagari, the Tantanbo,
    and numerous others have been obliterated.
[12:24] ---
    All to help the humans!
[12:26] ---
    Our kin!
[12:30] ---
    That many?!
[12:31] ---
    He's an ally of the humans?!
[12:33] ---
    You've been helped by Kitaro, haven't you?
[12:36] ---
    Kitaro is a friend!
[12:38] ---
    The defendant is
    a traitor to the yokai world.
[12:41] ---
    Why you...!
[12:44] ---
    Order!
[12:47] ---
    This court will not allow such behavior!
[12:51] ---
    Control yourself
    or you will be thrown out!
[12:55] ---
    Forgive me.
[12:56] ---
    No further questions.
[12:58] ---
    The prosecution?
[12:59] ---
    The prosecution has no questions.
[13:02] ---
    However, I would like to call upon
    one more witness.
[13:07] ---
    There was no prior notification of
    such a request.
[13:12] ---
    It's a very important witness.
[13:17] ---
    Then let the prosecution's witness
    take the stand.
[13:32] ---
    Mana-san...?
[13:33] ---
    Why...?!
[13:37] ---
    HITOTSUME-KOZO
[13:40] ---
    KONOHA-TENGU
[13:42] ---
    -"Eek!"
    -"What?"
[13:43] ---
    "Scratch, scratch."
[13:44] ---
    Why?
[13:46] ---
    A human?!
[13:47] ---
    Dai-Tengu-sama, a human cannot be
    a witness in the Great Yokai Trial!
[13:53] ---
    Mana Inuyama is the only human
    granted free passage to the GeGeGe Forest.
[13:58] ---
    I believe she is
    qualified to be a witness.
[14:01] ---
    If she can enter the GeGeGe Forest,
    we will accept her as a witness.
[14:08] ---
    What is your relation to the defendant?
[14:12] ---
    We're friends.
[14:14] ---
    Have you ever witnessed the defendant
    obliterate a yokai?
[14:20] ---
    What's "obliterate"?
[14:21] ---
    To destroy one's physical form
    from this world.
[14:25] ---
    You've witnessed such a thing,
    haven't you?
[14:30] ---
    Kitaro did nothing wrong!
[14:32] ---
    Answer with a "yes" or a "no".
[14:41] ---
    Yes.
[14:42] ---
    Did you hear that?
[14:44] ---
    The defendant was so bold as to obliterate
    one of our own in front of a human.
[14:50] ---
    Kitaro was only trying to protect humans!
[14:53] ---
    He obliterated yokai to protect humans.
[14:57] ---
    Is that right?
[15:00] ---
    He really obliterated yokai!
[15:02] ---
    Kitaro is an ally of the humans!
[15:04] ---
    But there are good humans too.
[15:07] ---
    A yokai obliterated yokai!
[15:09] ---
    But there are bad yokai too!
[15:11] ---
    You like humans, don't you?
[15:13] ---
    What?!
[15:14] ---
    You're a disgrace to yokai!
[15:17] ---
    Traitor! Traitor!
[15:20] ---
    Have you ever seen these before?
[15:25] ---
    Do you know to whom they belong?
[15:28] ---
    Answer the question please!
[15:31] ---
    I believe they're Kitaro's.
[15:33] ---
    Speak up.
[15:35] ---
    I believe they're Kitaro's!
[15:39] ---
    The prosecution rests.
[15:40] ---
    The defense may examine.
[15:46] ---
    The defense has no questions.
[15:51] ---
    Catchick...
[15:53] ---
    Why, Cat-san?!
    Kitaro's ruling is on the line here!
[15:57] ---
    Both sides have completed their arguments.
    We shall now deliberate.
[16:07] ---
    Kitaro has to be innocent!
[16:10] ---
    We have reached our verdict.
[16:13] ---
    With numerous pieces of evidence and
    testimony, Kitaro is definitively guilty!
[16:19] ---
    He is sentenced to
    500 years liquefaction!
[16:22] ---
    But...!
[16:23] ---
    Take Kitaro to
    the execution site immediately.
[16:26] ---
    Carry out
    the liquefaction sentence right--
[16:29] ---
    Please wait!
[16:32] ---
    I will not dispute the verdict.
[16:34] ---
    However, though he is a yokai,
    500 years may as well be a last farewell.
[16:40] ---
    Please! Please allow me to
    speak of my son and I!
[16:46] ---
    Very well.
[16:50] ---
    It was a dark and stormy night...
[16:54] ---
    Cat-san, at this rate Kitaro will be--
[16:56] ---
    This trial is a farce!
[16:58] ---
    We have to find the real culprit
    or we can't prove Kitaro's innocence!
[17:02] ---
    But there's no time!
[17:04] ---
    Huh? Haven't you heard it before, Mana?
[17:07] ---
    Daddy Eyeball-san bragging
    about his son.
[17:09] ---
    Together with Mizuki,
[17:11] ---
    -we borrowed a room over the store.
    -Who's got time for this crap?
[17:14] ---
    Old Man Crybaby-san, wake up!
[17:16] ---
    Mana.
[17:18] ---
    This is how you do it!
[17:23] ---
    Mana-chan?
[17:26] ---
    There's no time!
    I need to get to the trial!
[17:28] ---
    It's already over!
    They found Kitaro guilty!
[17:32] ---
    What?!
[17:33] ---
    Why were you asleep?!
[17:35] ---
    Rat Man offered me
    a drink to get me going.
[17:39] ---
    I knew it was him!
[17:42] ---
    Sand Witch-san!
[17:47] ---
    A Bake-Garasu!
[17:49] ---
    Gemme outta here already!
[17:51] ---
    Are these hair needles?
[17:53] ---
    That Momon-Jii got me with his
    Nose Hair Bind!
[17:56] ---
    Nose Hair Bind?!
[17:58] ---
    Could it be that the hair needles that
    obliterated the Hitotsume-Kozo were...
[18:03] ---
    Momon-Jii's... nose hairs?
[18:08] ---
    Money trumps friendship every time.
[18:10] ---
    Friends betray, but money never does.
[18:13] ---
    What a lot of money.
    I wonder how much there is.
[18:17] ---
    At least a hundred million.
[18:22] ---
    You sewer rat!
[18:24] ---
    You were dazzled by money
    and betrayed Kitaro?!
[18:27] ---
    Betrayed is a bit much. What's 500 years?
[18:30] ---
    For a yokai, that amount of time isn't--
[18:32] ---
    It's different!
[18:35] ---
    500 years for a yokai...
[18:37] ---
    and 500 years for a human...
[18:40] ---
    is different.
[18:43] ---
    Fine already.
[18:46] ---
    Just then a huge wall of water came and--
[18:49] ---
    You've spoken for quite enough.
[18:52] ---
    We shall now commence with the sentence.
[18:57] ---
    Bring the liquefying solution here!
[19:04] ---
    Dai-Tengu-sama!
[19:05] ---
    Remove his clothes
    and put him in the liquefying solution.
[19:11] ---
    Kitaro-san...
[19:14] ---
    Hold it right there!
[19:17] ---
    Dai-Tengu-sama,
    this whole thing is a setup!
[19:20] ---
    A human brat has no right to speak!
[19:23] ---
    Say it in front of everyone!
[19:25] ---
    I get it! I get it!
[19:28] ---
    My testimony was a lie.
[19:30] ---
    A lie?
[19:31] ---
    Don't forget that the geta print matched!
[19:34] ---
    I actually stole that geta,
[19:37] ---
    handed it to Momon-Jii,
    and returned it to Kitaro later.
[19:41] ---
    He said he'd pay me quite handsomely.
[19:43] ---
    Will you believe the word of a half-yokai
    who admits to lying?
[19:47] ---
    You're the keeper of the law,
    Dai-Tengu-sama!
[19:49] ---
    Here's a nose hair that Momon-Jii
    used to tie me down.
[19:54] ---
    It's the same as the weapon used to
    obliterate the Hitotsume-Kozo!
[19:59] ---
    Momon-Jii!
[20:03] ---
    Why did you do this?!
[20:06] ---
    I was told if I entrap Kitaro, I would
    be made the top of the yokai world!
[20:11] ---
    He was the one
    who let me take Kitaro's form!
[20:15] ---
    Who was it?! Say his name!
[20:18] ---
    He said he had no name!
[20:23] ---
    Kitaro is innocent!

    Momon-Jii is guilty of obliterating
    the Hitotsume-Kozo and other high crimes
[20:31] ---
    and is sentenced to liquefaction!
[20:35] ---
    You can spend the next 700 years
    as a liquid to regret your sins!
[20:39] ---
    Rat Man! For falsifying evidence,
    you are sentenced to 100 spankings!
[20:43] ---
    I-I-I was put up to this by Momon-Jii!
[20:47] ---
    Suffer yourself to be bound!
[20:49] ---
    No! I don't wanna be spanked 100 times!
[20:53] ---
    Thank you, everyone.
[20:54] ---
    You're always the one saving me, Kitaro.
[20:57] ---
    Well, both Mana and I worked hard,
[21:00] ---

    the tea shop will do?
[21:03] ---
    Okay. I'll think about it.

    -How dare you!
[21:41] ---
    -Nor deceased
    -We won't forgive humans!
[21:43] ---
    -Merely filling an empty vessel
    -He's no yokai!
