    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] ---**

**[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!

**[11:59] ---**
    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] ---**

**[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.
