Are you... a yokai?

He's called Nuke-Kubi?
[00:20] ---
Boom Boom Hello, Eight TV.
[00:23] ---
I'm... I'm supposed to be
one of the chosen!
[00:30] ---
The world you see isn't all there is.
[00:34] ---
There are things you can't see.
[00:37] ---
See? In the darkness behind you...

CHAPTER 53
[02:29] ---
NARCISSISM OVERLOAD!
NUKE-KUBI'S CLOSE CALL
[02:34] ---
Tell us why you want to work here.
[02:38] ---
I've done numerous live streams,
which has honed my communication skills.
[02:45] ---
I'm sure I can put my experience
to good use in a sales job.
[02:50] ---
I see.
[02:51] ---
Our company motto is,
"Contributing to society and people".
[02:54] ---
What does contribution mean to you?
[02:58] ---
Contributing to society and people...?
[03:04] ---
Very well. That's enough.
[03:19] ---
Huh? You're...
[03:23] ---
Senpai!
[03:27] ---
So you're finally looking for a job!
[03:30] ---
How's it going?
[03:31] ---
It's fine.
[03:33] ---
When job hunting, you think, "What a drag!
I wish I'd just get accepted." right?
[03:40] ---
But the real drag comes
after you actually get a job.
[03:46] ---
Every day,
riding a packed train to work,
[03:50] ---
sucking up to annoying superiors...
[03:53] ---
And you're struggling just to pay
rent and living expenses.
[03:57] ---
There's no way to save up,
so I'm worried about after I retire.
[04:01] ---
Then why are you even working, senpai?
[04:04] ---
There's other, less restrictive jobs.
[04:07] ---
You mean like that OoTuber stuff
that you do?
[04:12] ---
No way. Only a chosen few can
make of living off that.
[04:19] ---
I mean, you're job hunting because that's
not enough to make ends meet, right?
[04:24] ---
Well...
[04:26] ---
Today's guest is the super popular
OoTuber, Hikakin-san!
[04:31] ---
Boom Boom Hello, Eight TV.
[04:34] ---
Hello, I'm Hikakin.
[04:35] ---
Will you listen to that crowd!
[04:37] ---
Thanks everyone!
[04:43] ---
Hey, Kitaro! What's the meaning of this?!
[04:50] ---
NUKE-KUBI
[04:52] ---
Nuke-Kubi, what's wrong?
[04:55] ---
YOKAI SPECIAL
[04:55] ---
I'm talking about this!
[04:57] ---
What about this?
[04:59] ---
Don't give me that!
[05:01] ---
It's supposed to be
a special about yokai, but...
[05:04] ---
it's all about you guys and
there's nothing in it about me!
[05:11] ---
I bet you paid someone off to have them
write all about you!
[05:16] ---
Otherwise I'd never get ignored like this!
[05:20] ---
Why would I ever do that?
[05:22] ---
What?! Are you trying to play dumb?
[05:25] ---
Now, now.
[05:27] ---
I'm sure the only reason
you're not in there
[05:30] ---
is because you're so famous
there's no need to write about you.
[05:35] ---
You think so?
[05:37] ---
I'm sure of it.
[05:39] ---
There's no point in writing
what everyone knows, is there?
[05:45] ---
I see! So that's it!
[05:49] ---
Kitaro, you've still got a long way to go.
[05:53] ---
Huh?
[05:55] ---
Here. You can shake my hand.
[05:58] ---
Everyone wants to shake
a famous yokai's hand, right?
[06:01] ---
No thanks.
[06:02] ---
Here! Come on, be flattered, Kitaro.
[06:05] ---
You're shaking a famous yokai's hand.
[06:07] ---
Well, I'll be going.
[06:11] ---
Good grief.
[06:13] ---
There's no telling what he'll do if he's
not the center of attention is there?
[06:24] ---
Hello, hello! It's the Charatomi Channel!
[06:28] ---
Today's project is
Charatomi's Yokai Walk!
[06:34] ---
Of course it's not like
I can just find a yokai...
[06:38] ---
You called?
[06:43] ---
Seriously?!
[06:44] ---
Are you... a yokai?
[06:47] ---
I know you're shocked that
a yokai as famous as me showed up.
[06:52] ---
Here.
[06:55] ---
You wanna shake my hand, right?
[06:58] ---
Not really.
[06:59] ---
Wait, are you really such a famous yokai?
[07:03] ---
Of course. Don't tell me you haven't
heard of the famous Nuke-Kubi-sama.
[07:08] ---
Nope, I haven't.
[07:10] ---
What?! That's impossible!
[07:12] ---
NO RESULTS FOR "NUKE-KUBI"
[07:14] ---
See? Nobody out there knows who you are.
[07:21] ---
That's not possible!
[07:32] ---
How could nobody know of me?!
[07:34] ---
There's no yokai stronger
or cooler than me!
[07:39] ---
I'm famous!
I'm not your garden-variety yokai!
[07:43] ---
I get it, I get it! Calm down!
[07:51] ---
You know, I kind of get how you feel.
[07:55] ---
I'm not like everybody else either.
I must be one of the chosen.
[08:01] ---
Wanna team up with me?
[08:03] ---
Let's show the world what I...
what we can do.
[08:12] ---
How have you been recently, Cat-san?
[08:15] ---
Same as ever.
[08:17] ---
And you?
[08:18] ---
There's nothing out of the ordinary...
[08:21] ---
Actually, I found this video
and I thought you should see it.
[08:27] ---
Today, using Nuke-Kubi's power,
[08:30] ---
we're gonna melt and freeze erasers!
[08:35] ---
Let's watch!
[08:37] ---
He's starting...
[08:40] ---
What heat! They melted!
[08:44] ---
Now it's cold!
[08:47] ---
They're frozen solid!
[08:49] ---
Unbelievable!
[08:51] ---
Him again! And with Nuke-Kubi!
[08:54] ---
He's called Nuke-Kubi?
What sort of yokai is he?
[08:59] ---
He gives off extreme heat from his head,
[09:03] ---
and extreme cold from his body.
[09:05] ---
When connected, they cancel each other out
and maintain a normal temperature, but...
[09:12] ---
But...?
[09:16] ---
Hello, hello!
It's Charatomi Channel's Charatomi and...
[09:20] ---
Nuke-Kubi!
[09:21] ---
Today's subject is this!
[09:24] ---
An alarm clock!
[09:26] ---
Well? Can he really melt this?
[09:28] ---
He did!
[09:30] ---
Delicious!
[09:33] ---
Whoa! It really melted!
[09:35] ---
SUBSCRIBERS
[09:49] ---
Excuse me. Are you Charatomi-san
and Nuke-Kubi-san?
[09:57] ---
That's right!
[09:58] ---
We always watch your videos! We're fans!
[10:01] ---
Thanks! How nice!
[10:03] ---
Please shake our hands!
[10:08] ---
Sure!
[10:11] ---
We're so lucky!
[10:15] ---
Young girls asking to shake my hand...
[10:18] ---
This is proof I'm a famous yokai!
[10:20] ---
I've become a genuine, real famous yokai!
[10:25] ---
This is nothing.
[10:28] ---
Okay, let's go record.
[10:30] ---
Right now?
[10:31] ---
Yeah. I told you we'd record
at least one video a day.
[10:35] ---
You've gotta upload every day
if you want more views.
[10:39] ---
But I'm famous enough now.
[10:43] ---
I've got people asking to shake my hand.
[10:46] ---
Besides, doing this every day is
tiring me out.
[10:50] ---
What are you talking about?!
[10:51] ---
Having people ask to shake your hand
isn't worth anything!
[10:54] ---
We're barely on a roll now.
[10:57] ---
I've got to become
a top class Japanese OoTuber
[11:00] ---
and make enough ad revenue
that I can live off of.
[11:04] ---
Otherwise I'll need to find a job!
[11:08] ---
Humans make no sense.
[11:10] ---
Regardless, I'm taking a break.
[11:13] ---
Let me get some shut-eye for once.
[11:15] ---
Hey, wait!
[11:17] ---
Good night.
[11:19] ---
Oh come on...
[11:33] ---
Crap! I've got an interview today!
[11:40] ---
Seriously, who schedules
an interview at rush hour?!
[11:45] ---
Hey, watch it!
[11:51] ---
What is that?
Is that the face of a living person?
[11:56] ---
That person... and that one...
[12:00] ---
They're all the same.
[12:01] ---
The doors are closing!
[12:11] ---
T-To be one of these side characters?
[12:15] ---
To be a cog of society?
[12:17] ---
Me?
[12:19] ---
No! I'm the main character!
[12:21] ---
Even if everyone else is a side character,
I'm the main character!
[12:25] ---
I'm not going to be like
one of these guys!
[12:41] ---
What a nice sleep.
[12:46] ---
My body's missing!
[12:52] ---
It's hot.
[12:53] ---
I don't feel like eating ramen
when it's this hot.
[12:57] ---
Really? I'm fine.
[12:59] ---
Well I'm not.
[13:01] ---
How come it's this hot
when it's not even summer!
[13:06] ---
What's that?
[13:09] ---
Two suns?!
[13:12] ---
No, that's Nuke-Kubi!
[13:17] ---
Oh no! Separated from his body,
Nuke-Kubi is getting hotter and bigger!
[13:22] ---
In the end, he'll explode!
[13:25] ---
If that happens, it'll be a catastrophe!
[13:33] ---
NUKE-KUBI
[13:36] ---
NUKE-KUBI ON A WALK
[13:38] ---
-"Ge."
-"Ge."
[13:39] ---
"Ge."
[13:41] ---
I can't...
[13:42] ---
So hot...
[13:46] ---
Everyone, please remain calm.
[13:49] ---
Currently, a second sun has
appeared in Japan, causing extreme heat.
[13:54] ---
Fires have broken out all over.
[13:57] ---
The Ministry of the Environment is
investigating...
[14:04] ---
Cat-san! Look at this!
[14:09] ---
Hello, hello! It's the Charatomi Channel!
[14:12] ---
Is everyone enjoying my surprise game?
[14:16] ---
The one causing this abnormal weather
is none other than me, Charatomi!
[14:21] ---
There's only one way to restore peace!
[14:25] ---
The treasure Game Master Charatomi
has hidden... is Nuke-Kubi's body!
[14:29] ---
Finding it is the mission
for you side characters!
[14:34] ---
Oh, don't forget to subscribe!
[14:36] ---
This guy...!
[14:38] ---
Did you see the Charatomi Channel?
[14:40] ---
We have to find Nuke-Kubi's body.
[14:43] ---
But, is it true?
[14:44] ---
Just stop Charatomi.
[14:47] ---
I'm the main character after all!
[14:49] ---
I've got a huge burst of subscribers!
[14:52] ---
Now I'm one of the top OoTubers!
[14:55] ---
"You scum."
[14:55] ---
Look at all those comments!
I'm so popular!
[14:56] ---
"Get real!"
[14:58] ---
"I'll get you."
[15:03] ---
I can't hold on!
[15:05] ---
Charatomi!
[15:08] ---
You two.
[15:09] ---
Why you...!
[15:10] ---
Hold on. It's okay, I get it.
[15:14] ---
You're here for my autograph, right?
[15:16] ---
An autograph pad? Your back?
Where do you want it?
[15:20] ---
It'll sell for a lot. I'm the biggest
OoTuber in the world after all!
[15:27] ---
Stop playing around!
[15:28] ---
Where's Nuke-Kubi's body?
[15:30] ---
Come on. Asking me is against the rules.
[15:35] ---
Get with the program.
[15:37] ---
Why are you doing this?!
[15:39] ---
Because I wanna be famous of course.
[15:43] ---
You're really hopeless.
[15:44] ---
Even if you get famous for this,
you'll only be hated.
[15:48] ---
You know you'll never become a popular
OoTuber, don't you?
[15:54] ---
You're scolding me?
[15:57] ---
What do yokai like you know about me?!
[16:02] ---
Even if I work,
[16:03] ---
without having a famous university degree,
I can tell I won't make enough to save up.
[16:08] ---
Yet, I'm supposed to ride crammed trains
and be a slave to superiors every day,
[16:13] ---
get scolded at work dinners
and have no free time?!
[16:16] ---
Can you even call that living?!
[16:18] ---
Even so...!
[16:20] ---
I'm... I'm supposed to be
one of the chosen!
[16:23] ---
I won't be some washed up adult.
[16:25] ---
If I can become a more famous OoTuber than
anyone, I can live the easy life!
[16:30] ---
That's how I'm supposed to live!
[16:36] ---
Hello?
[16:37] ---
Cat-san, I think I know
where Nuke-Kubi's body is!
[16:43] ---
Remember what you told me?
[16:45] ---
Nuke-Kubi's head gives off heat
and his body gives off cold.
[16:50] ---
I figured wherever his body is
would be colder.
[16:55] ---
I checked with an app and
there's one place that's really cold.
[16:59] ---
I'll send a map now.
[17:01] ---
Got it. Thanks.
[17:03] ---
Let's go.
There's no point talking to this guy.
[17:08] ---
Wait!
[17:13] ---
I won't... I won't let my game end yet.
[17:16] ---
I need to get more subscribers...!
[17:23] ---
Dammit! It's so hot!
[17:30] ---
Are you okay?
[17:36] ---
It should be somewhere around here.
[17:39] ---
Kitaro, there!
[17:41] ---
This is...!
[17:47] ---
Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
[17:56] ---
Found it!
[18:00] ---
Are you okay?
[18:09] ---
Hikakin?
[18:10] ---
What are you doing here?
[18:13] ---
Why don't we go over there?
[18:24] ---
What the hell is this?
[18:26] ---
With this weather,
I rented every snow machine I could.
[18:30] ---
It makes it pretty cool.
[18:33] ---
It's cool...
[18:36] ---
What the...?!
[18:37] ---
Hikakin!
[18:39] ---
Hikakin, over here!
[18:40] ---
Let's play!
[18:45] ---
Wanna have a survival snowball fight?
[18:49] ---
Hikakin, Hikakin!
[18:50] ---
Let's play!
[18:51] ---
Why?
[18:53] ---
I'm the one who set up this game.
[18:57] ---
I'm the main character!
[18:58] ---
Why are you acting like
you're the main character!
[19:02] ---
I'm just putting my all into
doing what I enjoy.
[19:08] ---
Putting everything into enjoying something
isn't as easy as it looks, though.
[19:13] ---
But, I think when people do that, they
finally become their own main characters.
[19:28] ---
It's all over!
[19:32] ---
Nuke-Kubi, we've brought your body!
[19:35] ---
Kitaro!
[19:39] ---
There!
[19:50] ---
Nuke-Kubi, are you okay?
[19:54] ---
Th-Thank goodness...
[19:57] ---
The temperature's back!
[19:58] ---
Thank goodness!
[20:11] ---
Do you think you're
getting away with this?
[20:15] ---
Maybe a little pain will
keep you from doing it again.
[20:18] ---
That man's words made me see the truth.
[20:22] ---
I'm not the main character at all.
[20:25] ---
I only care what people think
and can't find what I really love.
[20:28] ---
I'm a pathetic loser.
[20:32] ---
No one starts out finding what they love.
[20:37] ---
As you struggle to find
your place in this world,
[20:41] ---
eventually you'll come to understand
what you love.
[20:46] ---
Do you think so?
[20:48] ---
Yes. You'll be fine.
[20:52] ---
Thank you.
[20:54] ---
I want to try.
[20:56] ---
Anything...
I want to actually try hard at something.
[21:00] ---
Maybe then I can at least be
my own main character.
[21:05] ---
Try not to cause trouble
for people this time.
[21:15] ---
Thank you very much!
[21:17] ---
Hurry and serve the food!
[21:19] ---
Yes, sir!
[21:20] ---
Here's your food!
[21:22] ---
Cold sake?
[21:24] ---
Right away!
[21:25] ---
Welcome!
[21:29] ---
Here, senpai. This one's on me.
[21:32] ---
There's something different about you.
[21:36] ---
Huh? Really?
[21:38] ---
You've got
a gleam in your eye or something.
[21:44] ---
You put us all through hell,
but it looks like you've finally woken up.
[21:50] ---
I better keep up.
[21:52] ---
Let's both do our best.
[22:14] ---
You're a dream
