    I couldn't just abandon my work.

    The world you see isn't all there is.
[00:34] ---
    There are things you can't see.

    See? In the darkness behind you...

    CHAPTER 54
[03:26] ---
    DOROTABO, LIFE AND EARTH
[03:33] ---
    Dorotabo?
[03:34] ---
    Yeah.
[03:35] ---
    DOROTABO
[03:37] ---
    A farmer struggled to
    cultivate rough land.
[03:41] ---
    Finally, he was able to grow rice.
[03:44] ---
    But his son was a drunkard,
[03:47] ---
    and the fields were sold.
[03:49] ---
    Having died in grief, that farmer
    appears night after night
[03:54] ---
    moaning, "return my fields"
    again and again.
[03:57] ---
    Same as now.
[03:58] ---
    The Dorotabo's mad that you're
    messing up his land.
[04:04] ---
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[04:13] ---
    A yokai prevents your work.
[04:16] ---
    But your superiors only tell you to
    stay on schedule.
[04:21] ---
    You workers have it tough.
[04:22] ---
    You must be uneasy.
[04:26] ---
    That's where I come in!
[04:27] ---
    BIBIBI NO RAT MAN
[04:28] ---
    There's a yokai exterminating expert
    called Kitaro.
[04:32] ---
    Obviously, he won't work for free, but...
[04:36] ---
    We've got three available price plans...
[04:43] ---
    President Kurosu!
[04:44] ---
    P-President?
[04:47] ---
    Hello, Mr. President.
[04:48] ---
    Our best plan includes yokai
    extermination and counseling.
[04:53] ---
    I'll even throw in
    a signed photo of Kitaro...
[05:06] ---
    Never show your face again!
[05:10] ---
    Ow, ow! Ow! Ow!
[05:12] ---
    I said, ow!
[05:13] ---
    Be more gentle!
[05:16] ---
    Ouch!
[05:17] ---
    Stop being a fussy patient!
[05:20] ---
    Thirty years ago, those rice fields
    were made into a golf course.
[05:24] ---
    Having lost popularity, now they're
    turning it into a mega-solar power plant.
[05:29] ---
    I get why the Dorotabo's mad.
[05:33] ---
    Wait. Wasn't there trouble between
    the Dorotabo and humans 30 years ago?
[05:41] ---
    Kitaro?
[05:42] ---
    I'm going for a walk.
[05:53] ---
    Let's call it off!
[05:55] ---
    Ten people have run away already!
[05:58] ---
    Everyone's afraid to touch land
    where a yokai appears.
[06:05] ---
    Is that all you've got to say?!
[06:11] ---
    I've had it!
[06:24] ---
    You!
[06:30] ---
    It's been 30 years.
[06:38] ---
    So, 30 years ago...
[06:43] ---
    The Dorotabo went on a rampage
    trying to slaughter the humans.
[06:50] ---
    Unable to ignore it, Kitaro...
[06:57] ---
    Return...
[07:01] ---
    my...
[07:06] ---
    fields...
[07:15] ---
    H-He did it!
[07:17] ---
    The monster's dead!
[07:19] ---
    -We can get back to work!
    -Yeah!
[07:21] ---
    We've won!
[07:27] ---
    That's enough!
[07:30] ---
    The Dorotabo only wanted to
    protect his fields.
[07:35] ---
    Nothing changes with you humans.
[07:38] ---
    You act like you own this world.
[07:42] ---
    I never should have helped you!
[07:55] ---
    Kitaro, don't!
[07:56] ---
    But, Dad...!
[07:59] ---
    Don't!
[08:19] ---
    Three days later, my dad died.
[08:23] ---
    I'm sure you believe that's just
    karma for our human arrogance.
[08:29] ---
    The Dorotabo's appeared.
[08:35] ---
    Perhaps time healed his wounds.
[08:37] ---
    Or maybe his anger at
    the redevelopment awoke him.
[08:43] ---
    If you continue construction,
    he will again...
[08:46] ---
    The construction won't stop.
[08:54] ---
    So, what'll you do?
[08:57] ---
    Will you exterminate the Dorotabo again?
[09:00] ---
    Or will you
    exterminate us humans this time?
[09:25] ---
    Return my fields.
[09:29] ---
    Return my fields.
[09:52] ---
    Return my fields.
[10:01] ---
    Show yourself, Dorotabo.
[10:07] ---
    Return my fields!
[10:15] ---
    DOROTABO
[10:17] ---
    My fields!
[10:20] ---
    Stop it! I'm here to talk!
[10:43] ---
    DOROTABO
[10:46] ---
    KITARO AND DADDY EYEBALL
[10:48] ---
    -"No, no."
    -"Oh, what should I do?"
[10:49] ---
    "Look me in the eye and tell me."
[10:52] ---
    Kitaro.
[10:54] ---
    This is your land.
[10:58] ---
    I understand your hate of the humans.
[11:02] ---
    But...
[11:06] ---
    Dorotabo!
[11:08] ---
    I'll get them to stop construction!
[11:10] ---
    Give me time!
[11:12] ---
    Dorotabo!
[11:19] ---
    Please, Dorotabo.
[11:23] ---
    A yokai has appeared at the mega-solar
    plant construction site causing chaos.
[11:26] ---
    MYSTERY AT THE MEGA-SOLAR POWER PLANT
[11:28] ---
    We have unconfirmed reports of wounded...
[11:30] ---
    Dad.
[11:32] ---
    That's about your work, right?
[11:34] ---
    Is there a ghost?
[11:36] ---
    Ghosts don't exist.
[11:37] ---
    Liar!
[11:39] ---
    I'm not lying.
[11:41] ---
    Even if they do...
[11:46] ---
    Your dad's invincible!
    I'll beat up any ghost!
[11:56] ---
    What do you want to grow up to be?
[11:59] ---
    A strong man like you, Dad!
[12:02] ---
    I see.
[12:27] ---
    That city is on the verge of
    economic collapse.
[12:30] ---
    The power plant is their last hope.
[12:33] ---
    Plus a lot of money has already
    gone into it.
[12:36] ---
    They can't cancel it now.
[12:39] ---
    If they don't, someone will die.
[12:43] ---
    It could be you.
[12:47] ---
    What about your son?
[12:51] ---
    With human and yokai positions
    in conflict, whoever backs down loses.
[12:57] ---
    It's not about winning or losing.
[13:03] ---
    You hate us yokai, don't you?
[13:11] ---
    On his deathbed, my dad said...
[13:16] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:17] ---
    If I'd just run,
    this wouldn't have happened.
[13:23] ---
    But...
[13:24] ---
    Even so...
[13:27] ---
    When I work digging up the earth
    and driving in piles,
[13:32] ---
    it's like I'm making your future
    with my own hands.
[13:37] ---
    It feels that way.
[13:41] ---
    And so...
[13:43] ---
    I couldn't just abandon my work.
[13:50] ---
    Now that I've got a kid,
    I understand what my dad meant.
[13:56] ---
    I'm making his future.
[14:00] ---
    I believe the world he'll live in
    will be better for it.
[14:06] ---
    It doesn't matter if some yokai shows up.
[14:09] ---
    Even if I die.
[14:13] ---
    I can't just run away.
[14:21] ---
    If you hadn't helped us,
    we'd all have died back then.

[14:27] ---
    I didn't want to say all that to you.
    I'm grateful.

[14:33] ---
    But what can you do?
[14:35] ---
    This world ain't so simple
    that we can all just get along.

[14:41] ---
    Back then, I...
[14:44] ---
    I never should have helped you!
[14:48] ---
    That's what I thought.
[14:51] ---
    "Humans are selfish.
    They can't get along with yokai.
[14:55] ---
    Why bother trying?"
[14:58] ---
    But...
[15:00] ---
    Now...
[15:02] ---
    Thanks to my tipping off the press,
    that redevelopment project's toxic.
[15:09] ---
    It'll fall through on its own.
[15:11] ---
    I'm so considerate.
[15:13] ---
    You're just in it for money.
[15:18] ---
    An update on the yokai trouble.
[15:20] ---
    Apparently there was a death
    at this location 30 years ago.

[15:25] ---
    The rumor is spreading and reports say
    construction may be forced to shut down.

[16:08] ---
    Return my fields.
[16:19] ---
    Return my fields!
[16:29] ---
    It's been a long time.
[16:32] ---
    If you're waiting for me to run,
    then give up.
[16:35] ---
    This place belongs to humans.
    You're the one leaving!
[16:45] ---
    Well? Don't you hate humans?
[16:47] ---
    Try spewing your favorite line again!
[16:50] ---
    Return...
[16:52] ---
    my fields!
[17:16] ---
    Yes!
[17:18] ---
    Just as I thought!
[17:20] ---
    You only show up at night!
[17:22] ---
    And with that damp body...
    Your weakness is heat!
[17:35] ---
    Dorotabo!
[18:17] ---
    Looks like I've won.
[18:27] ---
    Shoot if you want.
[18:28] ---
    What?!
[18:29] ---
    But human advancement won't stop.
[18:33] ---
    We'll dig and drive piles,
    dig and drive piles,
[18:37] ---
    and build our future!
[18:39] ---
    My death stops nothing!
[18:44] ---
    No!
[18:46] ---
    Dad!
[18:49] ---
    Don't die!
[18:51] ---
    You followed me here?
[19:13] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:18] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:24] ---
    Could it be this rain...?!
[19:27] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:31] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:34] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:38] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:40] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:43] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:45] ---
    Dorotabo...
[19:47] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:50] ---
    Stop it.
[19:51] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:53] ---
    Please.
[19:54] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:57] ---
    Return my fields!
[19:59] ---
    Return my fields!
[20:02] ---
    Return my fields!
[20:05] ---
    Return my fields!
[20:10] ---
    Stop...
[20:15] ---
    Stop it!
[21:00] ---
    Thank you.
