    The fear and ecstasy
    on the borderline between life and death!
[02:18] ---
    I'm sure I can shoot it here.
[02:22] ---
    The ultimate photo I'm seeking!
[02:34] ---
    It couldn't be...
[02:36] ---
    MUKURO VILLAGE
[02:38] ---
    Dammit!
[02:40] ---
    I came here, and still...
[02:42] ---
    Will nothing surpass that photo?

    CHAPTER 78
[03:04] ---
    THE MORYO OF MUKURO VILLAGE
[03:11] ---
    Kuno-san.
[03:12] ---
    Since when has that woman's ghost
    been haunting you?
[03:18] ---
    A few days ago, I went to
    a village lake for a photo shoot.
[03:24] ---
    And then...
[03:26] ---
    Since then,
    ever since I returned to Tokyo...
[03:31] ---
    There were rumors that
    that village was haunted by a yokai.
[03:35] ---
    That must be why...
[03:38] ---
    I have an important exhibition soon.
    It has to succeed no matter what.
[03:44] ---
    Please, you've got to do something!
[03:48] ---
    I understand.
[03:51] ---
    Thank goodness.
[03:53] ---
    I have a meeting from now until tonight.
    Come with me.
[03:57] ---
    Before we go, one question.
[04:00] ---
    Where is that village
    with rumors of a yokai?
[04:06] ---
    It's Mukuro Village.
[04:09] ---
    Mukuro Village...
[04:14] ---
    Dad, it's been 50 years since
    the Mukuro Village incident.
[04:19] ---
    Yes. And if this ghost is
    because of that yokai...
SIGN    KYOHEI KUNO PHOTO EXHIBITION "BORDERLINE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH"
[04:26] ---
    This could be very bad.
[04:29] ---
    Are you Kitaro-san?
[04:32] ---
    I'm Okochi, the owner of this gallery.
[04:37] ---
    My son is a huge fan of yours.
    Could I get your autograph?
[04:41] ---
    Um, I've never given an autograph...
[04:53] ---
    Must be my imagination.
[05:04] ---
    Stop! Hair Needles!
[05:11] ---
    Stop!
[05:16] ---
    Remote Controlled Geta!
[05:38] ---
    Dad, I've heard
    that beast-like scream before.
[05:44] ---
    That ghost must be...
[05:47] ---
    There's no mistake.
[05:49] ---
    MORYO
[05:50] ---
    It's the Moryo.
[05:54] ---
    The Moryo?
[05:56] ---
    Yes.
[05:58] ---
    He's a terrifying yokai that
    possesses human corpses and controls them.
[06:04] ---
    Corpses...
[06:06] ---
    I'm curious about something.
[06:08] ---
    When he appeared before, the Moryo never
    left his home of Mukuro Village.
[06:11] ---
    MUKURO VILLAGE
[06:14] ---
    But this time,
    he followed you all the way here.
[06:21] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:23] ---
    You look pale.
[06:25] ---
    Obviously. Anyone would
    after being attacked by that monster!
[06:30] ---
    Could it be you know
    who that girl's corpse is?
[06:36] ---
    I don't. I've never seen her before.
[06:41] ---
    I see.
[06:44] ---
    H-Hey! Where are you going?!
[06:47] ---
    The Moryo hates strong light
    and is only active at night.
[06:51] ---
    The sun will be up soon.
[06:54] ---
    He won't attack again today.
[06:59] ---
    I looked into Kyohei Kuno's past for you.
[07:04] ---
    He had stable work as a photographer
    who took beautiful pictures of women.
[07:10] ---
    Four months ago,
    his style changed drastically.
[07:14] ---
    He suddenly started taking
    stimulating photos using the theme,
[07:17] ---
    "Beautiful women and
    the borderline between life and death."
[07:20] ---
    His popularity took off.
[07:23] ---
    Four months ago, something happened to
    change Kyohei Kuno's style.
[07:28] ---
    There are endless rumors among the
    industry, but his answer never changes.
[07:34] ---
    He says,
[07:35] ---
    "It's the nature of a photographer."
[07:38] ---
    The nature of... a photographer.
[07:41] ---
    Hmm. Something about this case
    doesn't sit right.
[07:48] ---
    Why is Kuno-san being
    targeted by the Moryo?
[07:53] ---
    The answer must be...
[07:55] ---
    in that place.
[07:55] ---
    MUKURO VILLAGE
[08:08] ---
    You shouldn't take pictures here.
[08:18] ---
    Are you from this village?
[08:22] ---
    C-Could I... take your picture?
[08:28] ---
    What's... your name?
[08:31] ---
    Mizuha.
[08:38] ---
    Mizuha.
[08:40] ---
    I was...
[08:42] ---
    unsatisfied with anything I took,
    and seeking a place to die.

[08:47] ---
    You let me regain my confidence
    as a photographer.

[08:55] ---
    And the second time,
[08:57] ---
    you awakened the talent within me...
[09:02] ---
    with this picture.
[09:06] ---
    But now...
[09:09] ---
    This picture... torments me.
[09:14] ---
    MUKURO VILLAGE
[09:21] ---
    Kitaro-san.
[09:24] ---
    It's been a long time.
[09:30] ---
    If you're here,
    that means you already know.
[09:35] ---
    The barrier that had the Moryo sealed
    in this lake has been broken.
[09:41] ---
    Yes.
[09:42] ---
    The Moryo is currently inhabiting
    a woman's corpse.
[09:47] ---
    I see. I thought as much.
[09:50] ---
    Do you know who she is?
[09:55] ---
    She's my daughter.
[09:57] ---
    Her name is Mizuha.
[10:00] ---
    The night the barrier was broken,
[10:02] ---
    she appeared before me as a spirit.
[10:07] ---
    She looked so sad.
[10:14] ---
    Mizuha was an orphan.
[10:16] ---
    I had looked after her at the temple
    since she was five.
[10:21] ---
    But a few years ago, she left the village
    saying she had found a lover.
[10:28] ---
    What was her lover's name?
[10:30] ---
    I believe it was...
[10:32] ---
    Kyohei Kuno.
[10:37] ---
    He was a talented youth
    working as a photographer.
[10:43] ---
    Mizuha said he took her picture
    when they first met at this lake.
[10:51] ---
    She said in her letter that
    they were very happy together.
[10:58] ---
    And yet...
[11:03] ---
    I promise I'll save Mizuha-san.
[11:12] ---
    Why isn't anyone here yet?
[11:18] ---
    Hello?
[11:21] ---
    What?! The model
    chickened out and cancelled?!
[11:24] ---
    Unacceptable! Get a replacement now!
[11:27] ---
    I finally found you.
[11:28] ---
    Huh?
[11:31] ---
    Are you the replacement model?
[11:34] ---
    Kuno-san, cancel tonight's shoot.
[11:37] ---
    What?
[11:39] ---
    This is Catchick.
    She's friends with Kitaro.
[11:43] ---
    This is an abandoned hospital
    where they say real ghosts appear.
[11:47] ---
    It's like asking the Moryo
    to come get you.
[11:50] ---
    If you want to live, cancel the shoot.
[11:55] ---
    I can't!
[11:56] ---
    I need the ultimate photo
    I'm satisfied with for my exhibition!
[12:03] ---
    A photo that surpasses that...
[12:05] ---
    "Surpasses that"?
[12:08] ---
    I'm doing this shoot.
[12:10] ---
    If you're Kitaro's replacement,
    then do your job and protect me!
[12:14] ---
    -Hey!
    -Catchick.
[12:16] ---
    It looks like he won't be talked down.
[12:19] ---
    We'll have to use our backup plan
    until Kitaro returns.
[12:24] ---
    Our backup plan?
[12:28] ---
    MORYO
[12:31] ---
    MORYO AND KITARO
[12:33] ---
    -"Where ya goin'?"
    -"Yay, yay!"
[12:36] ---
    And it's complete.
[12:38] ---
    This is...
[12:39] ---
    An octagonal magic circle.
    A barrier to defend against the Moryo.
[12:44] ---
    Will that really work?
[12:50] ---
    Oh no! Get in the magic circle!
[12:53] ---
    Huh?
[12:54] ---
    Quickly!
[12:58] ---
    What's going on?!
[13:19] ---
    Don't worry!
[13:20] ---
    So long as we're in here,
    the Moryo can't see or hear us!
[13:31] ---
    It really can't see us?
[13:35] ---
    Now if only Kitaro gets here...
[13:40] ---
    What is that voice?!
[13:42] ---
    He's summoning... his kin!
[13:46] ---
    Its kin?
[13:48] ---
    The evil ghosts infesting this hospital.
[14:05] ---
    There's so many!
[14:06] ---
    Kuno-san!
[14:08] ---
    We're sorry,
    the replacement model finally...
[14:10] ---
    Huh?
[14:12] ---
    What?! What?! What?!
[14:22] ---
    That's it! That expression!
[14:25] ---
    That's the borderline
    between life and death I wanted to take!
[14:30] ---
    What are you doing?!
[14:34] ---
    That's it!
[14:35] ---
    That's it! That's it!
[14:39] ---
    Oh no! The octagonal magic circle!
[14:43] ---
    So there you are!
[14:50] ---
    Run!
[15:27] ---
    Sorry to take so long!
[15:31] ---
    Kitaro!
[15:33] ---
    You're in the nick of time!
[15:35] ---
    Moryo!
[15:37] ---
    Release Mizuha-san's soul!
[15:41] ---
    Remote Controlled Geta!
[15:50] ---
    MORYO
[15:53] ---
    Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
[15:58] ---
    Th-The pain!
[16:01] ---
    Yes! We've captured the Moryo!
[16:09] ---
    Wh-What happened?
[16:11] ---
    Her soul was released by the Moryo
    and she became a corpse again.
[16:19] ---
    I see.
[16:21] ---
    Thank goodness.
[16:22] ---
    "Thank goodness"?
[16:24] ---
    What exactly do you mean by that?
[16:32] ---
    I heard from the head monk
    in Mukuro Village.
[16:35] ---
    You were Mizuha-san's lover.
[16:39] ---
    And yet you said you didn't recognize her.
[16:43] ---
    Th-That's...
[16:46] ---
    Why were you afraid of Mizuha-san's ghost?
[16:50] ---
    Could it be...
[16:54] ---
    because you... killed Mizuha-san?
[17:00] ---
    I-I didn't kill her!
[17:03] ---
    It was an accident!
[17:06] ---
    An accident?
[17:07] ---
    I fell into a rut with my work again.
[17:12] ---
    So that day, I went to Mukuro Village
    with Mizuha...
[17:18] ---
    to recapture that spark I felt
    when I first took her picture.
[17:25] ---
    It's no good. I feel nothing.
[17:28] ---
    Don't worry. You have talent, Kyohei.
[17:32] ---
    I know you'll take pictures
    that move peop--
[17:35] ---
    I can't anymore!
[17:40] ---
    Kyohei!
[17:44] ---
    This is it! This feeling!
[17:46] ---
    Kyohei...
[17:48] ---
    This is the picture I wanted to take!
[17:52] ---
    Help!
[17:58] ---
    That's the same as killing her.
[18:02] ---
    Even so, how could you blame me?!
[18:05] ---
    Mizuha's death awakened me!
[18:07] ---
    And now my pictures
    move the souls of so many people!
[18:13] ---
    What I did was
    in the nature of a photographer!
[18:23] ---
    Impossible!
[18:27] ---
    Fifty years and I'm finally free!
[18:29] ---
    You won't seal me away so easily!
[18:37] ---
    Stop it, Moryo!
[18:40] ---
    Shut up!
[18:42] ---
    Kitaro!
[18:45] ---
    That girl's feelings were intense.
[18:49] ---
    She thought of nothing but you.
[18:53] ---
    Thanks to those strong feelings,
[18:56] ---
    I could break the barrier
    and escape that lake at last.
[19:00] ---
    As a show of thanks, I'm going to kill you
    and claim your body!
[19:08] ---
    H-Help me!
[19:17] ---
    Finger Guns!
[19:29] ---
    What just happened?
[19:33] ---
    Dad.
[19:34] ---
    Look there.
[19:43] ---
    Mizuha-san... saved us?
[19:47] ---
    But she was already dead.
[19:50] ---
    She shouldn't be able to move,
    much less flip that switch.
[19:56] ---
    Then... how...?
[20:00] ---
    I had assumed Mizuha-san's
    strong feelings towards you were hate.
[20:08] ---
    But I was wrong.
[20:10] ---
    The Moryo twisted her feelings
    into something entirely different.
[20:17] ---
    Once she was free, Mizuha-san...
[20:20] ---
    She loved the one who let her die
    until the very end.
[20:31] ---
    This is quite the success.
[20:34] ---
    Thank you very much.
[20:36] ---
    And this last photo you put up.
    It's truly amazing.
[20:41] ---
    So beautiful. It's like she's really dead.
[20:46] ---
    Yes.
[20:52] ---
    She really died.
[20:56] ---
    What?
[20:58] ---
    To take this photo,
    I crossed the borderline of humanity.
[21:05] ---
    I killed Mizuha.
[21:15] ---
    Mizuha.
[21:18] ---
    I'm sorry. I couldn't keep my promise.
[21:24] ---
    Kyohei.
[21:26] ---
    I love the photos you take.
[21:32] ---
    When I met you,
[21:34] ---
    I learned the joy of life.
[21:38] ---
    So, please never give up your work.
[21:43] ---
    After all, it's our dream.
[21:52] ---
    Promise me.
