    Get up, Arata!
[00:19] ---
    Ow!
[00:22] ---
    Morning, Arata.
[00:25] ---
    K-Kohaku?!
[00:27] ---
    What?
[00:30] ---
    I tried to copy the clothing
     worn by humans in this era.
[00:33] ---
    Did I get this outfit wrong?
[00:36] ---
    Should I find something
     more tailored for male tastes?
[00:39] ---
    N-Nah, I don't care. Do what you want.
[00:43] ---
    By the way, why are you here?
[00:46] ---
    Is there a problem?
[00:47] ---
    This is my room.
[00:48] ---
    I don't get it.
[00:50] ---
    Why can't I be in your room?
[00:54] ---
    How come the cat's okay, but not me?
[00:57] ---
    I'm Arata's friend.
[01:00] ---
    I guess telling you that I want
     my privacy probably won't work.
[01:04] ---
    You weren't like this before.
[01:11] ---
    Hey, what was Seimei like?
[01:14] ---
    You're asking me to remember old times?
[01:16] ---
    That's a very human thing to request.
[01:19] ---
    It doesn't make sense to tell
    you about yourself, though.
[01:22] ---
    Don't blame me. How would I know?
[01:26] ---
    If you forgot, then fine.
[01:28] ---
    I'll tell you.
[01:33] (Flashback) ---
    You're really telling me you came
     from a place beneath this country?
[01:36] (Flashback) ---
    That's right.
[01:38] (Flashback) ---
    I'll tell you more.
[01:43] (Flashback) ---
    You're here.
[01:45] (Flashback) ---
    And I came from a place that's
     basically the opposite side.
[01:48] (Flashback) ---
    We live on a ball?
[01:51] (Flashback) ---
    Wouldn't the people on the other side fall off?
[01:55] (Flashback) ---
    The people on the other side
     wonder why you don't fall off.
[02:00] (Flashback) ---
    You tell such interesting stories, Kohaku.
[02:02] (Flashback) ---
    Tell me more.
[02:03] (Flashback) ---
    Okay, how about that for
    the countries on the other side,
[02:06] (Flashback) ---
    the stars are in different positions?
[02:08] (Flashback) ---
    What? What does that mean?
[02:12] ---
    He had a real thirst for knowledge.
[02:16] ---
    You told somebody from the Heian
     period that the Earth is round?
[02:20] ---
    You seemed so interested in the stars, though!
[02:24] ---
    And...
[02:25] ---
    Crap! Time to get to work!
[02:26] ---
    Gotta go!
[02:33] ---
    Always in such a hurry.

    I guess for now we can assume he's harmless.

    Yeah.
[04:17] ---
    And we can't go trying
     anything on a god of calamity.
[04:21] ---
    He's less like a god and more like a NEET.
[04:25] ---
    Who knows what goes through his head?
[04:27] ---
    Well, Anothers are basically like typhoons.
[04:31] ---
    It's a waste of time to try and figure
     out what a typhoon's thinking.
[04:35] ---
    Typhoons, huh?
[04:42] ---
    That's so funny!

    It's that Ears of Sand guy!

    He's no different than any other human.
[07:14] ---
    Ever since Gongen-san left,

[07:53] ---
    Anothers aren't "nice" or "not nice."
[07:56] ---
    It's possible that they needed you
     to drink before they could consume you.
[08:00] ---
    Consume me?
[08:01] ---

[08:04] ---
    They just spend the whole year drinking there.

    and were the boss of this area, kinda.
[10:41] ---
    They were from the ward office, right?

    What were they doing here?

    They had their reasons.

    What's that?

    What?

    He came over with the US Army
     after the war, and stayed here.
[12:12] ---
    So you're the Ears of Sand, huh?
[12:18] ---
    Y-Yeah, that's right.

    Be careful.
[12:30] ---
    Behind you.
[12:35] ---
    Was that...
[12:36] ---
    That was a police officer he was carrying.
[12:39] ---
    Let's follow him!
[12:40] ---
    Right!
[12:45] ---
    This is what they call a "kamikakushi,"
     a random disappearance.
[12:47] ---
    That police officer won't be coming
     back unless we save him.
[12:52] ---
    Haguro-san!
[12:53] ---
    Their eyes met, and he was taken away.
[12:59] ---
    Where are they going?
[13:01] ---
    To its territory.
[13:03] ---
    You need to follow a certain
     set of steps to enter.
[13:06] ---
    Sounds like a pain to do every time.
[13:08] ---
    That's how Anothers work.
[13:16] ---
    That's Kabukicho's Kio Inari shrine?
[13:20] ---
    A shrine is holy ground.
[13:22] ---
    He's using a place like that as his base?
[13:35] ---
    I get it... That's him!
[13:39] ---
    Another number one, the one who disappeared!
[13:45] ---
    Why did he come back now?
[13:47] ---
    More importantly, how do we save Haguro-san?
[13:50] ---
    The Another doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
[13:51] ---
    We can't do much with him right in front of us.
[13:55] ---
    What do we do?
[13:58] ---
    That's him!
[13:59] ---
    Yeah! Him!

[14:04] ---
    Hey!
[14:08] ---
    What's wrong, Arata?
[14:10] ---
    I found out that Another's name.
[14:13] ---
    His name? What is it?
[14:17] ---
    Kio Gongen.
[14:21] ---
    Isn't that the god of this shrine?
[14:26] ---
    I never thought I'd see you again.
[14:29] ---
    Huh, Seimei?
[14:32] ---
    This is probably gonna be
    another thorn in my side...
[14:35] ---
    He's upset! He's upset!
[14:37] ---
    The Ears of Sand guy's upset!
[14:39] ---
    Listen, you!
[14:40] ---
    So, Seimei, what do you want from me?
[14:44] ---
    Please give us back that person, Haguro-san.
[14:50] ---
    Give him back?
[14:51] ---
    Yes!
[14:52] ---
    He needs to stay here with me.
[14:56] ---
    I just drank a little too much and fell asleep.
[15:00] ---
    Now that I'm awake,
    we need to throw a festival.
[15:04] ---
    A festival?
[15:06] ---
    D-Don't tell me you want him as a sacrifice?
[15:10] ---
    I won't eat him!
[15:12] ---
    He just needs to stay here and drink with me.
[15:15] ---
    For a hundred years or so.
[15:16] ---
    A hundred years?!
[15:18] ---
    Miyako, what are you two talking about?
[15:20] ---
    He says he wants to drink sake with
     Haguro-san for a hundred years.
[15:25] ---
    That sounds just like an Another.
[15:27] ---
    From his family's perspective,
     that's the same as him dying!
[15:32] ---
    He has a family!
[15:34] ---
    Please let him go!
[15:38] ---
    Is it that big a problem?
[15:41] ---
    Then will you take him back by force?
[15:44] ---
    Seimei, I accept your challenge.
[15:48] ---
    You idiot! Why did you piss him off?
[15:50] ---
    But...
[15:51] ---
    Let's have a drinking party, then!
[15:56] ---
    You? I remember you.
[16:00] ---
    Hey, Kio Gongen.
[16:01] ---
    Wouldn't it be better to have
     a festival with more people?
[16:05] ---
    That's true!
[16:07] ---
    Why not have a drinking contest
    with the three of them, then?
[16:11] ---
    And if they win, you give the man back.
[16:16] ---
    Hey, don't just decide that!
[16:19] ---
    At times like these, don't you save
     everybody and go back with everybody?
[16:23] ---
    Well...
[16:25] ---
    Oh? This time you're abandoning him?
[16:29] ---
    Miyako, what are they saying?
[16:31] ---
    Well... we're having a drinking contest,
     and if we win, he'll give Haguro-san back.
[16:37] ---
    Hang on, you're agreeing to a contest
     with something that size?!
[16:41] ---
    I can't think of another way.
[16:43] ---
    Miyako, tell him you accept as long
     as it's something humans can drink.
[16:46] ---
    Is that okay?
[16:48] ---
    This is a serious situation.
     We don't have a choice.
[17:17] ---
    Next!
[17:19] ---
    Here you go!
[17:26] ---
    Oh, no... It's worse than I thought.
[17:31] ---
    Sorry...

     have him send reinforcements.
