[00:18] ---
    Put plainly, it's a law to
    destroy us yokai.
[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...

    "The scene was locked." "Only the victim's
    fingerprints were on the knife."
[02:16] ---
    So, what's this about "63 locations"?
[02:20] ---
    It's as it's written, Detective.
[02:23] ---
    He was stabbed in 63 places.
[02:26] ---
    So he died from stabbing himself 63 times.
[02:31] ---
    The Public Security Counselor
    dying like this...
[02:35] ---
    The press'll have a field day.
[02:40] ---
    It's just the rigor mortis relaxing.
[02:43] ---
    What is this?!
[03:04] ---
    CHAPTER 89
[03:06] ---
    THE CURSE OF TE-NO-ME
[03:11] ---
    Kitaro-chan!
[03:12] ---
    It's time for your regular pro bono work!
[03:19] ---
    Let's see, the sender this time is...
[03:27] ---
    My name is Youko Mibu.
[03:30] ---
    You see...
[03:33] ---
    My hands were taken.
[04:17] ---
    Every night,
    I dream of that terrifying old man.
[04:21] ---
    And every time...
[04:27] ---
    Help me.
[04:30] ---
    That old man will kill me!
[04:33] ---
    This must be Te-no-Me's doing.
[04:35] ---
    Te-no-Me?
[04:37] ---
    Te-no-Me possesses
    unbelievable optic power.
[04:40] ---
    Once his eyes glare at you, it's over.
[04:43] ---
    The cells in your hands change
    and move according to his will.
[04:50] ---
    TE-NO-ME
[04:52] ---
    But, at worst, he only plays pranks.
[04:55] ---
    He's not one to try to kill a human.
[05:07] ---
    This is just a temporary solution.
[05:22] ---
    Hmph. Not bad, whelp.
[05:31] ---
    I got it.
[05:35] ---
    PUBLIC SECURITY COUNSELOR'S
    MYSTERIOUS DEATH!!
[05:35] ---
    The Public Security Counselor
    who stabbed himself repeatedly...
[05:42] ---
    A company executive
    who strangled himself to death...
[05:46] ---
    A university professor who screamed, "My
    hands will kill me" and jumped off a roof.
[05:51] ---
    What does that Youko person do?
[05:53] ---
    I dunno.
[05:56] ---
    So she's a lawyer.
[05:57] ---
    LAWYER YOUKO MIBU ON MINORITY RIGHTS
[05:58] ---
    There's no connection between the humans.
[06:01] ---
    Is Te-no-Me
    killing humans indiscriminately?
[06:15] ---
    This will look better on INSTE
    than I thought.
[06:18] ---
    This will bring more visitors.
[06:20] ---
    How very wonderful.
[06:27] ---
    How very sad.
[06:35] ---
    Another fertile piece of
    the night's darkness has disappeared.
[06:40] ---
    Nurarihyon!
[06:48] ---
    Remote Controlled Geta!
[06:51] ---
    That's no way to greet someone, is it?
[06:55] ---
    That's enough, Shu-no-Bon.
[06:59] ---
    Here's a little gift for you.
[07:04] ---
    CONFIDENTIAL
[07:07] ---
    A law regarding the prevention of
    unlawful activities by yokai.
[07:13] ---
    In short, "The Anti-Yokai Act."
[07:16] ---
    ANTI-YOKAI ACT
[07:20] ---
    The Anti-Yokai Act?
[07:46] ---
    It's been a while since
    I had a dreamless sleep.
[07:49] ---
    This is thanks to you.
[07:50] ---
    Thank you.
[07:58] ---
    You know, this incident made me think that
    yokai were scary things.
[08:04] ---
    And yet you helped me.
[08:08] ---
    Humans are no different from yokai.
[08:10] ---
    There are bad ones and there are good--
[08:13] ---
    Youko-san.
[08:23] ---
    I'm sorry.
[08:37] ---
    Where is Ms. Mibu?
[08:39] ---
    She's absent.
[08:42] ---
    Let's begin.
[08:45] ---
    The Anti-Yokai Act.
[08:46] ---
    A law to protect human society
    from the threat of the yokai.
[08:51] ---
    They're currently going over it
    with specialists from various fields.
[09:00] ---
    Put plainly, it's a law to
    destroy us yokai.
[09:05] ---
    CABINET SECRETARIAT
    SECRET FUND BALANCE SHEET
[09:06] ---
    By pouring tons of secret funds into it,
[09:09] ---
    humans aim to create lethal weapons and
    an organization to crack down on yokai.
[09:17] ---
    Battling yokai terrorism
    is the most urgent issue!
[09:21] ---
    I intend to stake my political career on
    passing the Anti-Yokai Act.
[09:27] ---
    I expect your full support on this.
[09:30] ---
    To protect our Japan!
[09:37] ---
    Isn't it terrible?
[09:40] ---
    I suppose Te-no-Me-san felt that way.
[09:43] ---
    He began laying down punishment on
    committee members behind the Act.
[09:50] ---
    Indeed, Youko Mibu, who sought your help,
    is a member of the committee.
[09:58] ---
    You can't have gotten
    your hands on this so easily.
[10:03] ---
    Don't play stupid.
[10:05] ---
    Humans will sell out their allies
    if it's for money.
[10:10] ---
    They feel no guilt about it at all.
[10:12] ---
    You should be well aware of that, having
    spent more time with them than any of us.
[10:25] ---
    Very well.
[10:27] ---
    Then you should ask Youko Mibu directly.
[10:32] ---
    Kitaro-kun.
[10:34] ---
    You're not going to
    get in Te-no-Me-san's way, are you?
[10:40] ---
    He is a proud hero
    who stood up for the yokai.
[10:48] ---
    Humans who are trying to make a law
    to oppress the yokai.
[10:52] ---
    And Te-no-Me who is killing such humans.
[10:55] ---
    If what Nurarihyon said is true...
[10:58] ---
    what can we do?
[11:03] ---
    I'm going to see Youko-san.
[11:05] ---
    I-I'll go with you!
[11:08] ---
    I'll be fine on my own.
[11:23] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
[11:26] ---
    I thought you wouldn't protect me
    if I told you about the Anti-Yokai Act.
[11:31] ---
    But, Kitaro-san...
[11:32] ---
    I know it sounds like an excuse,
    but I'm against the Anti-Yokai Act.
[11:38] ---
    I made that clear at the committee!
[11:47] ---
    D-Don't do it, Kitaro!
[11:50] ---
    Hey, Kitaro!
[11:52] ---
    You have to run, Youko-san.
[11:57] ---
    He... took my hand!
[12:11] ---
    TE-NO-ME
[12:14] ---
    TE-NO-ME AND KITARO
[12:16] ---
    "Um... Um..."
[12:17] ---
    "Yes, I know."
[12:23] ---
    Te-no-Me's optic power?!
    When did he get you?
[12:27] ---
    Was it back at that temple?!
[12:34] ---
    What are you waiting for?! Hurry and run!
[12:41] ---
    What's wrong?!
[12:42] ---
    My hands won't move!
[12:45] ---
    No! Don't!
[12:49] ---
    No!
[12:52] ---
    I can't stop it!
[13:09] ---
    Thank you, Catchick.
[13:26] ---
    If we follow that, we can find Te-no-Me.
[13:30] ---
    This should do.
[13:33] ---
    I'm sorry but I can't lend you
    my chanchanko.
[13:36] ---
    You'll have to figure--
[13:37] ---
    Get out.
[13:40] ---
    Get out, you freak of nature!
[13:44] ---
    Let's go, Catchick.
[13:55] ---
    Thank you for showing up.
[14:32] ---
    You're here.
[14:40] ---
    If that beam hits you,
    you'll lose control of your hands.
[14:44] ---
    Be careful!
[14:46] ---
    Traitors to yokai!
[14:51] ---
    Dammit!
[15:00] ---
    Not yet!
[15:06] ---
    Got you!
[15:12] ---
    Return Kitaro's hand!
[15:28] ---
    Kitaro!
[15:29] ---
    Hold on, Kitaro!
[15:39] ---
    Catchick! Dad! Everyone!
[15:53] ---
    Stop it!
[15:57] ---
    This is the world that I see.
[16:00] ---
    It's just an illusion!
[16:01] ---
    Don't you see? If we don't act now,
    this scene will become a reality!
[16:14] ---
    Hold on, Kitaro!
[16:16] ---
    Kitaro!
[16:19] ---
    Only Nurarihyon-sama can lead the yokai.
[16:23] ---
    Be quiet!
[16:26] ---
    Kitaro doesn't have what it takes
    to live through this insane age!
[16:30] ---
    Shut up!
[16:49] ---
    What is that gun?!
[16:57] ---
    What's going on?
[16:59] ---
    I don't know.
[17:00] ---
    Clear the way!
[17:10] ---
    "The yokai have a right to live."
[17:13] ---
    "They're inhabitants of
    this country, too."
[17:15] ---
    "I know we can coexist."
[17:18] ---
    That's what I preached in the committee.
[17:22] ---
    The Anti-Yokai Act is dangerous.
[17:24] ---
    To have the Prime Minister force her rules
    without debate...
[17:28] ---
    Such a thing can never be allowed.
[17:37] ---
    But...
[17:40] ---
    Kitaro!
[17:42] ---
    Don't move!
[17:46] ---
    C-Calm down, Youko-san!
[17:48] ---
    I'm afraid of you!
[17:51] ---
    I can't believe in a world where humans
    and yokai live together anymore!
[17:58] ---
    But...
[18:00] ---
    But...
[18:03] ---
    I...
[18:06] ---
    What can I do?!
[18:11] ---
    A world where
    humans and yokai live together.
[18:16] ---
    I don't believe in that naively.
[18:20] ---
    But...
[18:24] ---
    I can believe in you.
[18:29] ---
    Seeing you ponder
    and struggle like that...
[18:35] ---
    You're the same as me.
[18:55] ---
    Who are they?!
[18:56] ---
    You?! Why are you here?
[18:59] ---
    Ms. Mibu.
[19:00] ---
    You've been under
    surveillance for a while.

[19:04] ---
    As a threat to this nation,
    just like the yokai*.
[19:11] ---
    Let go of her!
[19:15] ---
    Stop! Don't shoot!
[19:18] ---
    You will all die.
[19:22] ---
    As will the members of the committee.
[19:24] ---
    The yokai who follow my cause
    will slaughter the humans!
[19:35] ---
    Oh no!
[19:49] ---
    What?
[19:59] ---
    Everything is as Nurarihyon-sama planned.
[20:03] ---
    You must admire him.
[20:06] ---
    Te-no-Me-san,
    your death will not have been in vain.
[20:11] ---
    And now, it's time for a revolution.
[20:19] ---
    No suspicious activity by Youko Mibu.
[20:21] ---
    We shall continue surveillance.
[20:32] ---
    
"To all* yokai*,
    now is the time to stand up."
[20:37] ---
    The humans tried to create
    a most terrify law to oppress us.

[20:45] ---
    Scared by our comrade Te-no-Me's
    self-sacrificing terrorist efforts,

[20:51] ---
    the humans have disbanded their plan.
[20:51] ---
    RESIGNATION
[20:55] ---
    But they will most certainly
    bare their fangs to us once again.

[21:00] ---
    HOTBED OF TERRORISM
    WIPE OUT THE YOKAI
[21:01] ---
    Do not forget the hero's name!
[21:06] ---
    Te-no-Me!
[21:07] ---
    Do not forget his justice,
    his courage, his anger!

[21:17] ---
    Cat-san, are you okay?
[21:20] ---
    Of course. That explosion was nothing.
[21:23] ---
    "To all yokai"?
[21:27] ---
    What a crock.
[21:29] ---
    This world's shades of gray.
[21:32] ---
    Making everything black and white
    is just a hassle.
[21:35] ---
    Dad.
[21:36] ---
    What?
[21:38] ---
    It looks like the fight with Nurarihyon
    will be harder than ever.
[21:44] ---
    Kitaro, the path you believe in
    is long and winding.

[21:49] ---
    But I know you can make it...
[21:53] ---
    to the other end of that path.
[22:06] ---
    Bound by restrictive lines
    This overly sensitive, ominous town
