*GeGeGe no Kitaro*
**[00:18] ---**
H-How could you?!
**[00:21] ---**
You can see for yourself
how terrifying curses are.
**[00:30] ---**
*The world you see isn't all there is.*
**[00:34] ---**

**[00:37] ---**

**[02:06] ---**
Where are we going?
**[02:08] ---**
To see Taitanbo-sama.
**[02:10] ---**
Taitanbo-sama?
**[02:12] ---**
He's a guardian god who lives on
the forbidden mountain.
**[02:16] ---**
Do gods really exist?
**[02:18] ---**
This town has been protected by
that god since long ago.
**[02:24] ---**
Or so many people believe.
**[02:27] ---**
Yoichiro.
**[02:28] ---**
I'm sorry, Father.
**[02:31] ---**
Our Agata family has guarded
this forbidden mountain for generations.
**[02:37] ---**
When you turn 20, you'll take on
that role from your father, Kento.
**[02:43] ---**
That is your destiny.
**[02:48] ---**
We're here.
That's Taitanbo-sama's Spirit Stone.
**[02:55] ---**
Listen, Kento, a guardian has two jobs.
**[02:59] ---**
Offer prayer to the Spirit Stone
every four days without fail.
**[03:04] ---**
And...
**[03:05] ---**
never let anyone not born and raised in
this town approach here.
**[03:12] ---**
If these edicts are ever broken,
a terrible curse shall befall you.
**[03:20] ---**
A curse?
**[03:22] ---**
CHAPTER 70
**[03:23] ---**
SPIRIT AFFLICTION
MYSTERIOUS FOOTPRINTS
**[03:38] ---**
Let's go.
**[03:41] ---**
Kento, we shouldn't...
**[03:43] ---**
My 20th birthday is in a week.
**[03:46] ---**
I'm settling this before that.
**[03:49] ---**
What are you doing there?!
**[03:52] ---**
Dad.
**[03:53] ---**
Don't tell me...
you mean to harm the Spirit Stone?!
**[03:56] ---**
I won't be the mountain's guardian.
**[03:58] ---**
I'm leaving this town!
**[04:00] ---**
You'd break the edict?!
**[04:02] ---**
I'm sick of it!
**[04:04] ---**
Harm that stone and
terrible things will happen.
**[04:08] ---**
A terrible curse will befall you.
**[04:12] ---**
Who are you?
**[04:13] ---**
I don't believe in any curses.
**[04:16] ---**
Those two said the same thing as you.
**[04:22] ---**
And as a result...
**[04:27] ---**
What's wrong?
**[04:28] ---**
N-Nothing.
That stupid kid just ticked me off.
**[04:33] ---**
Let's go.
**[04:38] ---**
Thank you very much, Kitaro-san.
**[04:42] ---**
Your son's changed a lot.
**[04:48] ---**
Kento-san.
**[04:49] ---**
Do you have to destroy the Spirit Stone
of the forbidden mountain?
**[04:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:54] ---**
Are you sure?
If there really is a curse...
**[04:59] ---**
Shut up, Takashi!
**[05:01] ---**
There's no curse...
**[05:03] ---**
Grandpa?
**[05:05] ---**
Yes. He's dead.
**[05:09] ---**
You broke the guardian's edict!
That's why the town was cursed!
**[05:13] ---**
It's all your fault!
**[05:18] ---**
We're going back to the mountain.
**[05:20] ---**
Huh? Now?!
**[05:21] ---**
Kento, we shouldn't. I'm scared.
**[05:25] ---**
I've been bound ever since I was a kid.
**[05:28] ---**
By the edict of the mountain...
By my family's destiny...
**[05:32] ---**
And by my dad...
**[05:34] ---**
With that stone gone, I can be free.
**[05:37] ---**
But...
**[05:38] ---**
Chinatsu, stay here with Takashi.
**[05:42] ---**
Me and Wataru will do it.
**[05:43] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:53] ---**
That's careless of Dad.
**[05:55] ---**
Who cares?
Saves us from having to break in.
**[05:58] ---**
I guess so.
**[06:08] ---**
Kento, I checked the web.
**[06:12] ---**
Apparently, two strangers who came here
long ago are still missing.
**[06:20] ---**
Could it be that...
**[06:23] ---**
Wataru, you're talking about
curses now, too?!
**[06:26] ---**
Calm down. I was joking.
**[06:36] ---**
Okay, let's break it.
**[06:37] ---**
Okay.
**[06:38] ---**
Harm this stone
and terrible things will happen.
**[06:42] ---**
I warned you.
**[06:44] ---**
You again?
**[06:46] ---**
Your father told me.
**[06:48] ---**
I understand your resentment against
the edict and your destiny.
**[06:55] ---**
But...
**[06:56] ---**
Shut up! What do you know?!
**[06:59] ---**
The curse is real.
**[07:01] ---**
I'll tell you everything.
**[07:04] ---**
Thirteen years ago...
**[07:06] ---**
*The day after you first came here.*
**[07:09] ---**
*You suddenly fell deathly ill
and were given a few months to live.*
**[07:15] ---**
*What's more, the medicine
was extremely expensive.*
**[07:19] ---**
Could it be Taitanbo-sama's...
**[07:21] ---**
You're saying it's his curse?
**[07:24] ---**
*That's when those men arrived.*
**[07:28] ---**
You're from the Agata family?
The mountain's guardians?
**[07:32] ---**
Yes.
**[07:33] ---**
We have an offer for you.
**[07:36] ---**
You see, our fathers are the presidents of
famous super elite corporations.
**[07:42] ---**
As a result, since we were children
we've gotten anything we wanted
**[07:46] ---**
and led quite boring lives.
**[07:49] ---**
Basically, we seek stimulation.
**[07:51] ---**
So, why come to me?
**[07:54] ---**
We'd like to see your Spirit Stone.
**[07:58] ---**
Impossible! If an outsider enters
the mountain, a terrible curse will...
**[08:03] ---**
A curse! That sounds exciting!
**[08:06] ---**
That's precisely the sort of stimulation
we're seeking!
**[08:10] ---**
I refuse! Please leave!
**[08:13] ---**
How's a ten-million-yen recompense sound?
**[08:17] ---**
We just want a photo.
It's not a bad deal, is it?
**[08:21] ---**
We'll be back tomorrow.
**[08:25] ---**
*Your father, after much deliberation,*
**[08:28] ---**
*decided to accept their offer
without telling your grandfather.*
**[08:34] ---**
*But the next day...*
**[08:36] ---**
Don't tell me...!
**[08:42] ---**
Are you satisfied?
It's about time you should lea--
**[08:45] ---**
Hold on a minute.
We wired a whole ten million to the bank.
**[08:49] ---**
We deserve a little souvenir
to make it worthwhile.
**[08:53] ---**
N-No!
**[08:55] ---**
Now, now.
**[08:56] ---**
Don't!
**[08:59] ---**
H-How could you?!
**[09:03] ---**
Father!
**[09:04] ---**
Why?!
**[09:05] ---**
It's paternal love.
**[09:08] ---**
He broke the mountain's edict himself
so you wouldn't be cursed.
**[09:13] ---**
How touching.
Not like curses are real, though.
**[09:30] ---**
I-It's a curse!
**[09:32] ---**
Taitanbo-sama's been angered!
**[09:37] ---**
*I received a letter from your grandfather.*
**[09:41] ---**
*And I was asked to get
the stolen Spirit Stone fragment back.*
**[09:47] ---**
*And...*
**[09:48] ---**
Please protect my son and grandson.
**[09:53] ---**
I beg of y...
**[09:56] ---**
Father! Father!
**[10:01] ---**
He took on the curse himself.
**[10:04] ---**
But it's not over yet.
**[10:08] ---**
Ooh, that forbidden mountain has
several legends of buried gold.
**[10:14] ---**
Why hasn't anyone discovered...
**[10:17] ---**
That's it! The rumors of a curse
act as camouflage to hide it!
**[10:21] ---**
I better tell Nakamura about...
**[10:24] ---**
Huh?
**[10:27] ---**
I-It's gone.
**[10:29] ---**
It's gone!
**[10:30] ---**
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!
**[10:34] ---**
This stone is composed of some
as-of-yet undiscovered element!
**[10:40] ---**
That means...
the Spirit Stone is a meteorite!
**[10:43] ---**
Nakamura! W-We have a problem!
**[10:45] ---**
Ah, Yamada.
I've just made a huge discovery!
**[10:49] ---**
Forget about that! My pinky is gone!
**[10:54] ---**
Could it be...?
**[10:58] ---**
N-Now it's my ear!
**[10:59] ---**
A-Amazing!
**[11:01] ---**
Wh-What is?!
**[11:02] ---**
It could be caused by space bacteria!
**[11:08] ---**
My eye! My eye!
**[11:10] ---**
I'm right!
It's the discovery of the century!
**[11:14] ---**
You're wrong. That's the curse from
Taitanbo of the forbidden mountain.
**[11:18] ---**
Wh-Who are you?
**[11:21] ---**
I'm GeGeGe no Kitaro.
**[11:23] ---**
I'm here for
the Spirit Stone fragment you stole.
**[11:28] ---**
Kid, what are you talking about?
**[11:31] ---**
H-Hold on! Did you just mention a curse?
**[11:34] ---**
Yes.
**[11:36] ---**
If you don't hurry and return it
things will get even worse.
**[11:43] ---**
H-He's right! I-It's a curse!
**[11:45] ---**
Nakamura! Give the fragment to this kid!
**[11:49] ---**
What are you talking about?
There's no curse!
**[11:53] ---**
B-But... my face...
**[11:55] ---**
Your face? You've got tons of money!
**[11:59] ---**
You can fix that
with some plastic surgery!
**[12:02] ---**
You're right...
**[12:05] ---**
M-My face!
**[12:12] ---**
WATCH OUT, KITARO!
**[12:15] ---**
THIS IS BAD!
**[12:17] ---**
-*"Eek!"*
-*"What?"*
**[12:18] ---**
*"Scratch, scratch."*
**[12:21] ---**
Footprints...
**[12:24] ---**
Wh-What is this?
**[12:27] ---**
Don't you get it?
**[12:30] ---**
Your friend was erased by the curse.
**[12:34] ---**
Please return the Spirit Stone fragment.
Otherwise you too will...
**[12:40] ---**
Ridiculous!
**[12:42] ---**
Curses are unscientific!
**[12:44] ---**
I'll solve all these mysteries!
**[12:47] ---**
Kitaro, there's no point
in talking any further.
**[12:50] ---**
Taitanbo's curse takes not only the body,
but the heart as well.
**[12:56] ---**
Very well. In that case...
**[12:58] ---**
Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
**[13:03] ---**
If this stops the curse,
consider yourself lucky.
**[13:09] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[13:12] ---**
How is this lucky?!
**[13:21] ---**
Taitanbo's anger should subside now.
**[13:25] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[13:27] ---**
No. It's too soon to relax.
**[13:30] ---**
What do you mean?
**[13:31] ---**
Look at the sky.
The dark clouds haven't disappeared.
**[13:35] ---**
Why not? We returned the fragment.
**[13:39] ---**
How dare you get in my way!
**[13:41] ---**
Y-You!
**[13:43] ---**
Know what this is?
**[13:46] ---**
I'll blow you to pieces
along with that stone...
**[13:50] ---**
and take the fragments home!
**[13:52] ---**
Then my fame will...
**[13:55] ---**
Wh-What is this?!
**[13:58] ---**
It's Taitanbo-sama's curse!
**[14:01] ---**
I-I can't see! Help me!
**[14:05] ---**
Help!
**[14:13] ---**
After that,
the cloud covering the town disappeared,
**[14:17] ---**
and, Kento-san, your illness went away.
**[14:22] ---**
With everyone who broke the edict gone,
Taitanbo's anger finally abated.
**[14:28] ---**
The curse ended.
**[14:30] ---**
Lies! It's all made up!
I won't believe it!
**[14:34] ---**
Curses aren't real!
**[14:37] ---**
I guess trying to
convince you was a waste.
**[14:41] ---**
Very well.
**[14:43] ---**
You can see for yourself
how terrifying curses are.
**[14:50] ---**
Sure. Bring it on.
**[14:53] ---**
I'm going to be free. Curse me if you can!
**[15:00] ---**
Hey, give me that, Wataru!
**[15:06] ---**
I did it!
**[15:07] ---**
There was one more thing to tell you.
**[15:11] ---**
Shut up! Curses aren't real.
**[15:14] ---**
I'm finally free.
**[15:25] ---**
Welcome back, Kento-san.
**[15:27] ---**
Where's Chinatsu?
**[15:28] ---**
She was waiting but she just went home.
**[15:31] ---**
Oh.
**[15:32] ---**
Takashi, could you
carve this into a pendant?
**[15:35] ---**
It's for Chinatsu.
**[15:37] ---**
That stone... Is it...?!
**[15:40] ---**
What are you scared of? It's just a stone.
**[15:45] ---**
It's a pretty stone.
**[15:47] ---**
Got it. It'll be done by tomorrow.
**[15:50] ---**
There's no rush.
**[15:52] ---**
It's okay. I'll work all night.
**[15:56] ---**
Okay then.
**[16:02] ---**
Here's a present.
**[16:04] ---**
To celebrate my freedom
I had Takashi make it.
**[16:08] ---**
Wait, is this...
**[16:11] ---**
-I figured you'd be scared.
-Well, it's scary.
**[16:14] ---**
It's not scary. It's just a stone.
**[16:18] ---**
It's so pretty.
**[16:21] ---**
Could you put it on me?
**[16:23] ---**
Sure.
**[16:25] ---**
Sorry. It's from Takashi.
**[16:27] ---**
Hello?
**[16:28] ---**
*Kento-san, I think the curse is real.*
**[16:31] ---**
What?
**[16:33] ---**
*When I woke up this morning...*
**[16:35] ---**
*my pinky was gone!*
**[16:37] ---**
Your pinky's gone? Stop joking around.
**[16:40] ---**
*I'm not joking...!*
**[16:43] ---**
*My ear's gone now! And my nose!*
**[16:46] ---**
*H-Help me! Kento-sa...*
**[16:50] ---**
Hey! Hello?
**[16:52] ---**
What's wrong?
**[16:53] ---**
Takashi's acting funny.
I'll go check on him!
**[16:57] ---**
Takashi? You in?
**[17:01] ---**
Footprints?
**[17:08] ---**
What is this?!
**[17:11] ---**
Hello? Wataru?
**[17:13] ---**
We're going back to the mountain
to destroy that stone completely!
**[17:17] ---**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[17:19] ---**
Just hurry and...
**[17:22] ---**
What?
**[17:23] ---**
H-Huh?
**[17:25] ---**
Wh-What is this?!
**[17:32] ---**
Because I broke the stone...
**[17:35] ---**
Chinatsu!
**[17:37] ---**
Chinatsu!
**[17:39] ---**
What's wrong, Kento? You're all pale.
**[17:43] ---**
Wataru's dead. Takashi, too, I think.
**[17:46] ---**
But it's not any curse!
**[17:49] ---**
Curses aren't...
**[17:50] ---**
You know, I was thinking of
returning this stone.
**[17:54] ---**
Huh?
**[17:54] ---**
It's just, it gives me a rash that itches.
**[17:59] ---**
It itches.
It itches, it itches, it itches!
**[18:02] ---**
Kento! Help...
**[18:14] ---**
This is...
**[18:16] ---**
Damn you! Why isn't it me?!
**[18:19] ---**
Why Chinatsu and my friends?!
**[18:29] ---**
*Use this.*
**[18:35] ---**
Dynamite?
**[18:38] ---**
Okay. I'm sure I can destroy it with this!
**[18:41] ---**
I'll do it!
**[18:42] ---**
Take this!
**[18:54] ---**
I did it! How about that?!
**[18:56] ---**
I blew a god to smithereens!
**[19:27] ---**
Let go!
**[19:28] ---**
Let go! Let go!
**[19:38] ---**
Th-That was...
**[19:39] ---**
What in the world is going on?
**[19:42] ---**
We showed you what would happen
if you shattered the Spirit Stone.
**[19:46] ---**
We burned Sand Witch's special
Hallucination Sand in a Yokai Censer.
**[19:52] ---**
Everything you saw was an illusion.
**[19:55] ---**
Then... it wasn't real?
**[19:57] ---**
Right. But something similar would happen.
**[20:01] ---**
That's certain.
**[20:03] ---**
Kento!
**[20:09] ---**
Why'd you come?!
**[20:10] ---**
Because I was worried of course!
**[20:13] ---**
Me too!
**[20:14] ---**
Chinatsu... Takashi...
**[20:16] ---**
What now?
**[20:18] ---**
Do you still want to
harm this Spirit Stone?
**[20:23] ---**
We're leaving.
**[20:25] ---**
I said I have one more thing to tell you.
**[20:30] ---**
Thirteen years ago,
when he first brought you here,
**[20:35] ---**
your father had an idea.
**[20:37] ---**
He wanted to end the role of guardian with
him and let you live your life freely.
**[20:44] ---**
But the next day, you fell ill.
**[20:48] ---**
Your father blamed himself for it.
**[20:52] ---**
He thought Taitanbo must have realized
he meant to break the edict.
**[20:58] ---**
That's why he was so strict
in making you take on the role.
**[21:03] ---**
It was to keep you from
ever falling into harm again.
**[21:08] ---**
It was all to protect me?
**[21:11] ---**
It wasn't just him.
**[21:13] ---**
Your grandfather was
truly concerned for you.
