human respect through fear!

NOTICE OF CLOSURE
**[03:27] ---**
Here. Eat up.
**[03:30] ---**
No home, no money, no future.
We've both got pathetic lives.
**[03:34] ---**
Eat up, brother. No need to be modest.
**[03:39] ---**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[03:41] ---**
Y-Y-You bastard! Stop!
**[03:45] ---**
This is my best suit...
**[03:52] ---**
How?
**[03:54] ---**
Sink him at sea or bury him
in the mountains. It doesn't matter.
**[03:57] ---**
Just do it.
**[03:59] ---**
M-Mister Ameyama?
**[04:01] ---**
What?
**[04:02] ---**
That guy you're sinking or burying,
how much has he skipped out on?
**[04:07] ---**
Ten million.
**[04:08] ---**
That's unforgivable!
**[04:10] ---**
By the way, I only owe... one million yen.
**[04:15] ---**
-I'm no monster.
-Thank gosh!
**[04:17] ---**
It's just a million, so,
**[04:20] ---**
you can choose whether to be pushed
or whether to jump yourself.
**[04:24] ---**
Wh-What?!
**[04:29] ---**
H-H-Help m-me!
**[04:42] ---**
K-Kami-sama!
**[04:53] ---**
What is that?!
**[04:59] ---**
What's going on?!
**[05:05] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[05:07] ---**
Falling towards the sky. How about that?
**[05:10] ---**
Huh?
**[05:18] ---**
KAMINARI
**[05:21] ---**
I-It's Kaminari-sama! Help!
**[05:25] ---**
Ameyama-san, are you okay?
**[05:27] ---**
Of course not! That's a monster!
**[05:30] ---**
Personally, you humans are much scarier...
**[05:33] ---**
You there, *yokai*.
**[05:36] ---**
You're the one who called me, correct?
**[05:38] ---**
No, no, I didn't call... Oh!
**[05:41] ---**
K-Kami-sama!
**[05:44] ---**
I was asking for god. I said, "Kami-sama,"
not "Kaminari-sama."
**[06:01] ---**
Honestly. One bang from my drum
**[06:05] ---**
and people used to run
crying that I'd take their bellybuttons.
**[06:08] ---**
Now, they all act like I don't even exist.
**[06:13] ---**
I'm called for the first time in a while,
so I show up in high spirits and...
**[06:18] ---**
Hey! Where are you going?!
**[06:21] ---**
I'm still talking here!
**[06:30] ---**
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it, hold it!
**[06:33] ---**
Move, puny *yokai*.
Mock me and you'll regret it!
**[06:37] ---**
Mock you?! I would never!
**[06:39] ---**
Considering that power of yours,
I'd like to talk business.
**[06:43] ---**
Biz-ness?
**[06:44] ---**
Hey, Ratty, what are you talking about?!
**[06:49] ---**
Town revitalization... And...!
**[06:53] ---**
Hey, Kitaro, aren't you concerned at all?
**[06:57] ---**
About what?
**[06:58] ---**
About Rat Man.
**[07:00] ---**
Come to think of it,
I haven't seen him recently.
**[07:08] ---**
BIBIBI ELECTRIC COMPANY
**[07:14] ---**
Let's hope he's not up to no good again.
**[07:19] ---**
Check.
**[07:23] ---**
I'm too distracted
thinking about Rat Man to focus.
**[07:27] ---**
That's enough for today.
**[07:28] ---**
Hey, Kitaro!
**[07:30] ---**
No fair!
**[07:35] ---**
Things are looking good, mayor.
**[07:38] ---**
Thanks to you.
**[07:40] ---**
Exactly! Or so I'd like to say.
**[07:44] ---**
But, it's all thanks to that power plant.
**[07:52] ---**
We sell the electricity
that Kaminari makes to humans for cheap...
**[07:57] ---**
We lure factories and businesses
to this town...
**[08:02] ---**
And then, Mister Ameyama,
you switch jobs from mob boss to mayor...
**[08:08] ---**
Then we cook the books...
**[08:12] ---**
It's the perfect money-making system.
**[08:17] ---**
Damn. Not again.
**[08:18] ---**
KAMINARI
**[08:21] ---**
Yes, yes. I-I'll be right there.
**[08:26] ---**
Sensei, you rang?
**[08:32] ---**
You're late. When I call,
come in three minutes.
**[08:35] ---**
I-I'm very sorry, sensei!
**[08:45] ---**
So, what did you want?
**[08:47] ---**
L-Look.
**[08:48] ---**
Take a look at BiBiBi Electric Company's
mascot character, Kaminari-sama!
**[08:49] ---**
KAMINARI-SAMA SOUVENIRS
**[08:54] ---**
BIBIBI ELECTRIC COMPANY MASCOT
KAMINARI-SAMA
**[08:55] ---**
The electricity's cheap...
**[08:55] ---**
*"Kaminari-sama is booming?!"*
**[08:57] ---**
Lots of people come...
**[08:59] ---**
Business is booming...
It's all thanks to Kaminari-sama!
**[09:00] ---**
*"What are some reactions
from passerbys?"*
**[09:05] ---**
The savior of this town
is loved by all the residents.
**[09:05] ---**
MASCOT CHARACTER SPECIAL
**[09:10] ---**
Isn't it cute?
**[09:12] ---**
Cute?!
**[09:14] ---**
See that? See how much
the humans respect me?!
**[09:21] ---**
*What a pain.*
**[09:26] ---**
*Well, as a result,
he's working 24-7 for no pay,*
**[09:31] ---**
*so it'd be blasphemous to complain.*
**[09:33] ---**
Hey, Rat Man.
**[09:36] ---**
Yes, sensei!
**[09:37] ---**
-Let me meet this woman.
-Huh?
**[09:42] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[09:44] ---**
If people learn their cheap
electricity source is *yokai* secretion,
**[09:47] ---**
our company would go under!
**[09:53] ---**
Then I won't make electricity anymore!
**[09:55] ---**
I'll set it up for you. Happy?
**[10:01] ---**
Today, the popular Kaminari-sama
has come to visit us in the studio!
**[10:06] ---**
*Please... You're supposed to be
a guy in a suit.*
**[10:09] ---**
You look like the real Kaminari-sama!
**[10:12] ---**
Indeed. I am real.
**[10:16] ---**
U-Uh...
**[10:18] ---**
Listen, woman.
**[10:19] ---**
I shall make you my wife.
**[10:21] ---**
Okay, cut! That's it!
**[10:23] ---**
S-Sorry about that!
The guy inside's a new part-timer.
**[10:27] ---**
He hasn't really gotten
the hang of his character.
**[10:32] ---**
What was that?!
**[10:33] ---**
A trick! Just a little performa--
**[11:07] ---**
Hey, Ratty. Look at this.
**[11:11] ---**
It's about the bribes we paid off the city
council with. We could be in trouble.
**[11:13] ---**
THE DARK UNDERBELLY OF M CITY ELECTRICITY
**[11:15] ---**
Give me a break. I'm exhausted from
kissing up to Daddy Big-Drums.
**[11:20] ---**
We've got the BiBiBi Electric Company
Festival this weekend.
**[11:23] ---**
*It's just sleep chills
I let my tummy hang out*
**[11:27] ---**
*So I got cold, baby*
**[11:34] ---**
What a pain!
**[11:37] ---**
BRIBERY, TAX EVASION
**[11:38] ---**
AUTHOR, YURIKO IGARASHI
**[11:59] ---**
Hello, police? I think I'm being followed.
**[12:02] ---**
*Where are you? We'll be right th--*
**[12:10] ---**
Who's there? Show yourself!
**[12:34] ---**
Help me! Help me! Help me...!
**[12:52] ---**
*YOKAI* OF KAMINARI
**[12:56] ---**
PLAYING *SHOGI* WITH EVERYBODY
**[12:57] ---**
*"-No, no."
"-Oh, what should I do?"*
**[12:58] ---**
*"Look me in the eye and tell me."*
**[13:00] ---**
How many times do I have to tell you?!
Make the lights more flashy!
**[13:05] ---**
Problem solved.
**[13:07] ---**
DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK?!
**[13:08] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:10] ---**
What did you go and do that for?!
**[13:13] ---**
The culprit's a *yokai*. No one'll know.
**[13:16] ---**
You idiot! You don't get it at all!
**[13:20] ---**
There's a guy who always gets involved
with incidents like this...!
**[13:26] ---**
Let's go, Kitaro!
**[13:27] ---**
Yes, Dad!
**[13:29] ---**
I refuse!
**[13:31] ---**
Sensei, if you go down
this business is done for!
**[13:34] ---**
Please, just until things blow over!
**[13:37] ---**
I don't know how strong
this Kitaro kid is,
**[13:41] ---**
but who do you think I am?!
**[13:45] ---**
I'm Kaminari-sama!
No, I'm god, I'm Kami-sama!
**[14:01] ---**
I'll show you a real festival!
**[14:05] ---**
T-Trying to control an unpredictable guy
like this was impossible from the start...
**[14:17] ---**
There it is!
**[14:18] ---**
All of you, fear me and worship me more!
**[14:22] ---**
Here it comes!
**[14:26] ---**
A whoop! And a whoop!
**[14:29] ---**
We can't get close like this!
**[14:30] ---**
Rollo Cloth!
**[14:32] ---**
Hold tight!
**[14:34] ---**
Here we go!
**[14:39] ---**
How insolent!
**[14:44] ---**
Ouch!
**[14:45] ---**
I got burned!
**[14:56] ---**
It looks like this place
has its own gravity.
**[14:59] ---**
That's what saved you.
**[15:09] ---**
You're the one who killed
the magazine reporter, right?!
**[15:16] ---**
Indeed I am!
**[15:22] ---**
Hair Needles!
**[15:29] ---**
It's not working!
**[15:32] ---**
Chanchanko!
**[15:38] ---**
Nimble little brat.
**[15:41] ---**
How about this?!
**[15:47] ---**
What?!
**[15:51] ---**
I control the gravity of
this place as I please!
**[15:58] ---**
My body's getting crushed...
**[16:10] ---**
Had enough, boy?!
**[16:14] ---**
N-Not yet!
**[16:17] ---**
Stubborn little brat.
**[16:20] ---**
Have a good taste of the electricity
I've saved up in my drums!
**[16:34] ---**
This will end it!
**[16:39] ---**
That's enough of that!
**[16:41] ---**
Old Man Crybaby!
**[16:42] ---**
What nonsense is this?!
**[16:54] ---**
I'm solid as a rock!
**[16:57] ---**
Well done!
**[17:00] ---**
How's that? Old Man Crybaby's heavy
when he's stone, isn't he?
**[17:09] ---**
Are you all right, Kitaro?!
**[17:11] ---**
Somehow.
**[17:12] ---**
Kitaro-san, did ya beat Kaminari?
**[17:16] ---**
Not yet...
**[17:17] ---**
Then ya better hurry!
**[17:20] ---**
-Yeah!
-Wait!
**[17:22] ---**
We can't win like this.
We need a little preparation.
**[17:26] ---**
What?
**[17:32] ---**
I can't be beaten by such an old man.
**[17:36] ---**
Wh-Where's Kitaro?
**[17:37] ---**
He probably ran off terrified.
**[17:40] ---**
All right. Gather the humans
and we'll begin the recital.
**[17:47] ---**
Look around you!
Who's going to come hear you sing now?!
**[17:54] ---**
See? They're coming!
**[17:55] ---**
That's different!
**[18:02] ---**
This is why I was against relying on some
suspicious electricity from the start!
**[18:07] ---**
-You were grateful!
-Ouch!
**[18:11] ---**
Dad, how's this?
**[18:13] ---**
Good job.
**[18:15] ---**
But, what is this?
**[18:18] ---**
Give me your ear.
**[18:25] ---**
A-A monster!
**[18:43] ---**
I show kindness
and this is how you repay me?!
**[18:46] ---**
That does it!
**[18:48] ---**
I shall now garner
human respect through fear!
**[18:51] ---**
And to start with, I'll make
an example by destroying this town!
**[18:56] ---**
*Oh crap. I better get out of here...*
**[18:59] ---**
So you were pulling the strings.
**[19:03] ---**
Crap!
**[19:09] ---**
Oh, dammit!
**[19:11] ---**
Sensei, please take care of him!
**[19:14] ---**
Ouch!
**[19:18] ---**
Boy, you've come to be defeated again?
**[19:21] ---**
No. I've come
**[19:23] ---**
to defeat you!
**[19:26] ---**
Try it...
**[19:31] ---**
if you can!
**[19:45] ---**
It's over.
**[19:58] ---**
No more banging drums for you!
**[20:00] ---**
Wh-What is that power?!
**[20:04] ---**
It's called the power of electricity!
**[20:06] ---**
Using your electricity,
Kitaro's become a powerful electromagnet.
**[20:12] ---**
Ch-Cheeky little whelp!
**[20:15] ---**
Remote Controlled Geta!
**[20:19] ---**
Curse you!
**[20:25] ---**
I'll pour electricity directly into you!
**[20:36] ---**
You're not the only one
**[20:39] ---**
who can do electric attacks!
**[20:43] ---**
What?!
**[20:45] ---**
He's draining my electricity?!
**[20:50] ---**
Here's a retaliatory
**[20:52] ---**
Internal Electricity!
**[21:06] ---**
Police.
**[21:07] ---**
We're here about your tax evasion
and the destruction of the power plant.
**[21:14] ---**
Old Man Crybaby.
**[21:15] ---**
You were a real help.
**[21:16] ---**
It was nothing.
**[21:22] ---**
As they say, easy come, easy go.
**[21:25] ---**
If you've learned your lesson,
you should change your ways and... Huh?
**[21:31] ---**
That Rat Man.
**[21:37] ---**
*Bi, bi, bibibi no bi*
**[21:39] ---**
BEWARE OF TELEPHONE FRAUD
**[21:45] ---**
S-Sorry, Kitaro! I'll be good I...
**[21:54] ---**
You again?!
**[22:00] ---**
K-Kami-sama is so cruel.
