[00:02] Reigen
This is so boring, Mob.
SIGN Ura Sunday
[00:05] Mob
Doesn't that just mean
no one's being bothered by spirits?
[00:09] Reigen
I hate this.
[00:10] Mob
It's really peaceful.
[00:13] Reigen
But we need food on our table!
[00:15] Reigen
We have to make a move.
SIGN You don't know what true fear is

SIGN Urban Legends Encountering Rumors
[01:55] Mob
Urban legends?
[01:56] Reigen
Yeah. Surely you've discussed some
with friends at some point.
[02:01] Mob
I haven't, actually.
[02:03] Reigen
Really? They were super popular
when I was a kid.
[02:08] Reigen
Like Hanako-san in the bathroom
or the human-faced dog...
[02:10] Reigen
Or, if you want something newer, the Dragger.
[02:13] Reigen
We'll look up sighting reports online
and follow these urban legends.
[02:18] Mob
So it's like when we went
to find the tsuchinoko?
[02:21] Reigen
Not quite.
[02:22] Reigen
The Dragger is completely made up.
She doesn't exist.
[02:28] Mob
Then, why...
[02:29] Reigen
Places where urban legends are popular
[02:31] Reigen
tend to have a lot of people
who easily believe in the supernatural.
[02:34] Reigen
Meaning they're gold mines
for exorcism jobs.
[02:39] Mob
You're so excited about
this Schadenfreude search.
[02:41] Reigen
The key to successful
walk-in sales is a smile!
SIGN Spiritual Advice
SIGN Spiritual Advice
[02:48] Mob
That table is really low.
[02:50] Reigen
I didn't think this through.
[02:51] Reigen
Those are some cold stares...
[02:54] Mob
Uh, we might be bothering the pedestrians.
[02:56] Guy
Hey, you two.
[02:58] Guy
Who said you could
conduct your business here?
[03:01] Shin
You dare set up shop here knowing that I,
SIGN Rising Sun Spiritual Union
Shinra Banshomaru
[03:03] Shin
Shinra Banshomaru, the greatest psychic
of this century, hold jurisdiction here?
[03:07] Mob
He's the "greatest of this century," too?
[03:09] Reigen
What do you mean, jurisdiction?
[03:11] Shin
You're not a member of
the Rising Sun Spiritual Union?
[03:14] Reigen
I'm a freelancer.
The name's Reigen Arataka.
[03:18] Reigen
If you're also running a
spirit con—business,
[03:21] Reigen
could you introduce me to some clients?
[03:23] Reigen
I haven't had too many lately.
[03:26] Shin
I'm not about to help a business rival.
[03:30] Shin
Begone at once!
[03:31] Reigen
I respectfully decline.
[03:32] Reigen
What authority do you have?
SIGN Free psychic readings
[03:34] Shin
This is clearly a traffic violation.
[03:36] Reigen
You guys have no right to bring up the law.
[03:39] Shin
And what do you mean by that?
[03:42] Lady
Um...
[03:44] Lady
Are you psychics?
[03:46] Both
Yes?
[03:48] Lady
I'd like to discuss something with you.
[03:50] Reigen
Happy to help you out, ma'am!
[03:50] Shin
But of course!
[03:54] Shin
So what did you want to discuss?
[03:56] Lady
I've always been susceptible to spirits.
[03:58] Lady
I often attract ghosts and other
strange phenomena near me.
[04:02] Lady
Even as we speak,
there's something next to me...
[04:05] Reigen
Next to you? I don't—
[04:07] Shin
There definitely is. I see it.
[04:08] Reigen
Hey, stop making things up.
[04:10] Shin
What did you say, you swine?
[04:12] Reigen
Give me a break. Fakes like you
make my job so much harder.
[04:17] Reigen
Right, Mob?
[04:18] Mob
It's the spirit of a middle-aged man.
[04:20] Reigen
Let's get back on track.
[04:22] Lady
Thank goodness. You're actual psychics.
[04:25] Lady
When I asked about it on the internet,
all I got was irresponsible advice.
[04:30] Shin
What are you writing?
[04:31] Reigen
I can't believe I never thought
about a website.
[04:33] Reigen
I'll make one as soon as I'm home.
[04:35] Lady
And lately, I've been feeling
a really bad aura.
[04:39] Lady
I've only been able to get by thanks to
having a plate of salt in my apartment.
[04:43] Shin
I see. Textbooks confirm
the effectiveness of piles of salt.
[04:48] Reigen
Indeed. Even as we speak,
the sodium from this pile of French fries
[04:51] Reigen
is mitigating the negative effects.
[04:53] Reigen
Mob, don't eat too many of those.
[04:56] Lady
But then I realized that the reason
this eerie feeling has gotten worse lately
[05:00] Lady
is because of the sudden spread of
urban legends around this city.
SIGN Cuticle City Urban Legends
SIGN Human-Faced Dog
SIGN It's said that the vengeful spirit of a middle-aged
man who committed suicide possessed a dog.
It rummages through the trash downtown,
and if you call it, it'll say, "Just leave me alone."
SIGN Dash Granny
SIGN When you're driving on the freeway in the
middle of the night, you might hear a tapping
on your window. You'll then see a granny
running alongside your car at the same speed.
Apparently, if she outruns you, you'll get into a car accident.
SIGN The Red Raincoat
SIGN It wanders endlessly through the city in the rain,
dressed in all red. If someone sees the red raincoat,
they will die. However, if you're wearing something
red, your life will be spared.
SIGN The Dragger
SIGN Dressed in torn white clothing, the Dragger drags
people around until they are but lumps of meat.
When she was human, she suffered from horrible bullying,
and from that hatred, she'll capture children and drag them around.
SIGN Human-Faced Dog, Dash Granny, the Red Raincoat,
SIGN and of course... the Dragger.
[05:10] Lady
Please, eliminate all
of these urban legends.
[05:14] Shin
Come on... Who would take
such an impossible request?
[05:18] Reigen
Please leave it to me, Reigen Arataka!
[05:21] Reigen
I'll make sure they're wiped off
the face of this earth!
[05:25] Reigen
So, which course would you like to go with?
[05:27] Lady
"Course"?
[05:28] Reigen
I recommend this weekend combo deal...
[05:31] Shin
I must say, I was surprised
you accepted a request like that.
[05:35] Shin
And 20,000 yen if the request works out?
[05:37] Reigen
You'd ask for about that much, wouldn't you?
[05:39] Shin
I generally start at 200,000.
[05:42] Shin
If I actually took on this request,
it'd be more than 500,000—
[05:45] Reigen
Well, you'll still be helping me with this.
[05:48] Shin
I'm sorry? What did he just say?
[05:51] Reigen
Let's get going. If we keep wasting time,
the sun's gonna go down.
[05:54] Reigen
Um... Shinrin Maruo, was it?
[05:56] Shin
It's Shinra Banshomaru,
and I'm not going to help you!
SIGN Shinra Banshomaru
[06:00] Reigen
You heard her out with me,
so don't you dare run away.
[06:02] Shin
That makes no sense.
[06:04] Reigen
I'll make sure you get your cut.
[06:06] Reigen
Let's split up and do some investigating.
SIGN New Star of the Psychic World
[06:08] Reigen
Let's remember the three Cs:
contact, communicate, and consult.
[06:12] Shin
Oh, fine.
[06:14] Shin
I'll consider this charity work
and help you out.
[06:16] Reigen
Yeah, I'm counting on you.
[06:19] Reigen
Like you have anything better to do.
[06:20] Reigen
Mob, is Dimple around?
[06:23] Mob
Dimple, you're being summoned.
[06:25] Dimple
What do you want?
[06:26] Dimple
I'm making myself less visible
because I'm sick of talking to you.
[06:30] Reigen
Come on, don't be like that.
We're work buddies.
[06:33] Dimple
How?!
[06:34] Dimple
You just order me around—
[06:36] Reigen
Tail that chubster using
that stealth mode of yours.
[06:39] Dimple
Why should I?
[06:41] Dimple
If he runs off, just let him go.
[06:43] Reigen
Nah, I bet he's a super serious moron
that does everything by the book.
[06:46] Reigen
Meaning, if something were to happen to him,
[06:49] Reigen
it'd be my fault for making him do this.
[06:51] Mob
Please, Dimple.
It'd be better to avoid any accidents.
SIGN Watch out for suspicious people
[06:55] Dimple
Oh, fine.
[06:56] Dimple
This is give and take.
[06:58] Dimple
You're going to have to listen to one
of my demands sometime soon, Shigeo!
[07:02] Reigen
What's the matter, Mob?
[07:03] Mob
Well, it's like the client said.
Something's weird about this town.
[07:09] Mob
There might actually be something here.
[07:17] Mob
Why did we come to an internet café?
[07:19] Reigen
If I go around questioning kids,
people might think I'm someone suspicious.
SIGN Cuticle Middle School Dark Messageboard
SIGN Make sure you keep posting! (^o^)/
SIGN 2950. Another crappy day~
SIGN Name: Student A Date: 9/28 (Fri) 16:43
SIGN My teacher is so frickin' annoying. Who do they think they are, bossing me around every day? Totally ignoring them.
[07:24] Mob
Wow. It's all just a bunch of complaints.
SIGN Someone was sucking up to the math teacher today. It was so gross. Do people seriously enjoy doing that?

SIGN 2957. Re: This is scary I've heard of her, but I don't know anyone who's seen her
[07:30] Reigen
Hey, look!
SIGN Cuticle Park
[07:32] Reigen
Sighting report!
[07:34] Kid
We saw an old guy in red earlier.
[07:37] Kid
He tried to talk to us, so we ran away.
[07:39] Shin
What? When?!
[07:41] Shin
Wh-Where? Where was he?!
[07:43] Kid
Hey, that hurts! Let go!
[07:45] Kid
Why's this guy breathing so heavily?
[07:47] Shin
O-Oh, I'm sorry. I just got a bit excited...
[07:49] Shin
Uh, wait, I didn't mean excited
in that kind of way...
[07:53] Shin
Why are you looking at me like that?
[07:55] Kid
We're leaving now.
[07:56] Shin
Hey!
[07:57] Shin
You mustn't go alone! You're girls!
[07:59] Kid
Get away from us!
[08:00] Kid
This guy's a pervert!
[08:03] Shin
Hey, stop that!
[08:05] Shin
I'm not—
[08:06] Shin
Huh? What?
SIGN Stare
SIGN Stare
[08:08] Shin
N-No! I'm not a pervert!
[08:10] Shin
I'm an extremely well-known psychic!
[08:14] Lady
Did he just say psychic?
[08:15] Lady
Like that doesn't sound shady...
[08:17] Shin
Ow!
[08:18] Shin
Hey, don't throw rocks at me!
[08:20] Shin
Ow!
[08:21] Kid
That guy was so gross.
[08:22] Shin
Wait! I need that lead!
[08:24] Raincoat
Crap! The girls I was after!
[08:28] Shin
Wait, was that...
[08:30] Shin
Hold it right there!
[08:33] Shin
You must be the Red Raincoat!
[08:36] Akarain
Don't get in my way!
[08:38] Akarain
There's nothing fun about
exposing myself to another guy!
[08:41] Shin
So you're a flasher who goes after children?
[08:43] Shin
You filthy criminal!
[08:46] Kid
This is awesome! Creep versus creep!
[08:49] Kid
Get a video of this!
[08:53] Shin
I may not look it, but I was vice captain
of the sumo club in grade school!
[08:57] Akarain
I give up!
[08:58] Akarain
I give up, so let me go!
[09:01] Akarain
You got me...
[09:02] Akarain
Or so you thought...
[09:04] Akarain
I was on the track team
in middle school, fatty!
[09:08] Kid
Talk about playing dirty.
[09:10] Kid
But damn, he's fast.
SIGN Terror
[09:13] Reigen
This is the human-faced dog?
[09:15] Mob
That looks like marker.
I guess the sighting report was fake.
[09:19] Reigen
No, this is definitely the human-faced dog.
[09:22] Mob
What do you mean?
[09:23] Reigen
This is usually how rumors go.
[09:26] Reigen
To grade and middle school kids,
this is the real deal.
[09:30] Kid
Hey, someone's at our
human-faced dog's house.
[09:33] Kid 2
We should charge admission.
[09:35] Mob
Whose dog is this?
[09:37] Kid 2
The old guy who lives here.
[09:39] Kid
His eyes are bad, so he hasn't noticed
we scribbled on its face.
[09:42] Mob
A-Are you his grandkids?
[09:45] Kid
Huh? What gave you that idea?
[09:46] Reigen
Hey, you little shits!
[09:48] Reigen
I'll kick your asses the next time
you try to draw on this dog's face!
[09:52] Kid 2
So he says after he actually hit us.
[09:54] Kid
We're gonna tell the PTA on you.
[09:56] Reigen
Yeah, just try it.
[09:58] Reigen
You know what this world needs?
Adults who can keep you little shits in line!
[10:02] Reigen
Don't think that I, Suzuki Taro, am going
to be a pushover like your teachers.
[10:07] Mob
But you use a fake name anyway?
[10:10] Old
You'll give Terror a bath?
[10:13] Old
What a nice young man.
[10:14] Old
Was he that dirty? Then, I guess
I'll take you up on your offer.
[10:19] Reigen
Here, Terror.
[10:21] Reigen
Look at him happily wag his tail
with his ominous-sounding name.
[10:25] Reigen
Now, then...
[10:26] Reigen
We'll need before and after pictures
for our progress report.
[10:31] Mob
I wonder if he just likes dogs.
[10:33] Mob
Did you know it was just
a prank to begin with?
[10:36] Reigen
Of course I did.
[10:37] Reigen
Were you actually looking for
a dog with a person's face?
[10:41] Reigen
There, there.
SIGN Dog Shampoo
SIGN Dirt-be-gone
SIGN Boney Bones
SIGN Nom
[10:43] Reigen
Let's see if we can get
some hot water for him.
[10:51] Shin
What? You outta breath?
[10:53] Shin
Too bad for you. I may have been
in the sumo club in grade school,
[10:56] Shin
but in middle school,
I was on the table tennis team!
[10:59] Shin
I'm plenty confident about my stamina!
[11:01] Red
You're so out of breath, though.
[11:04] Red
Why are you chasing me?
This has nothing to do with you.
[11:08] Shin
Ever heard of citizen's arrest?
[11:10] Shin
Even a civilian can arrest
a criminal in the act.
[11:13] Shin
Let the blades of justice
strike you down, you pervert!
[11:17] Red
You seriously thought you caught me?
[11:19] Red
I led you here on purpose!
[11:26] Red
I will admit, this all started
as an unusual fetish.
[11:30] Red
But before long, I started finding pleasure
in rumors of me spreading around town.
[11:35] Red
I felt like some kind of celebrity!
[11:38] Red
Just by wearing this raincoat,
I feel unstoppable!
[11:43] Red
You wanna turn me in to the police?
[11:46] Red
I'd love to see you try!
[11:54] Red
He passed out.
[11:56] Red
But he and others saw my face, which will
make things harder for me in this town.
[12:01] Red
Guess it's time to leave.
SIGN No Trespassing
[12:21] Red
Who the hell are you?
Did you see everything?
[12:25] Hiki
Hey, aren't you thirsty?
[12:29] Red
What, it's just some crazy bitch?
[12:35] Hiki
Hey, aren't you thirsty?
[12:39] Red
Yeah...
[12:41] Red
Never been thirstier!
[12:43] Hiki
I'll let you drink until you explode, then!
SIGN Spirit Hold
[13:07] Shin
Spirit Hold! There, now you can't move!
[13:13] Shin
Damn it! I've not recovered from being tased!
[13:19] Shin
Wha—
[13:22] Shin
Where'd she go?!

[13:56] Dimp
Guess Reigen was right
to send me as insurance!
[14:01] Dimp
Talk about pressure...
Her aura's stabbing me left and right.
[14:05] Dimp
Guess I'll try to drag out all
of this guy's latent powers.
[14:10] Hiki
Hey, aren't you thirsty?!
[14:13] Dimp
You tryin' to hit on me?
[14:14] Dimp
I'm not a fan of forceful girls!
[14:23] Dimp
Take that!
[14:31] Dimp
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[14:38] Dimp
To think his manual would
save him this way...
SIGN Spiritual Worldism
for Psychics
[14:49] Dimp
His life comes first...
[14:50] Dimp
I'll happily turn tail and run away!
[14:54] Dimp
I need to send an SOS!
[14:57] Reigen
There, all clean.
[14:59] Reigen
Mob, how did you get that wet?
[15:02] Mob
I shouldn't have helped.
[15:05] Reigen
Hello, this is Reigen.
[15:07] Reigen
Hey, did you get any info...
[15:12] Reigen
Let's go.
[15:13] Reigen
The Dragger showed up.
[15:22] Dimp
No wonder she's trending
in the urban legends world.
[15:26] Dimp
Maybe because she's all over social media,
she's got way more energy fueling her.
[15:41] Dimp
And now she's going for function over form.
[16:09] Dimp
His Achilles tendon just snapped!
[16:11] Dimp
You damn fatty... You need to exercise more.
[16:23] (Flashback) Mob
Please, Dimple.
[16:25] Dimp
If I let this guy die,
Shigeo will lose faith in me.
[16:30] Dimp
And I can't let that happen!
[16:33] Dimp
He's going to be even bigger someday.
[16:36] Dimp
I can't mess up at a place like this.
[16:40] Dimp
Oh, shit.
[16:52] Mob
Thanks, Dimple.
[16:55] Reigen
Wow, so that's the Dragger?
[16:57] Reigen
Is that actually her?
[16:58] Reigen
I need to get a photo for proof.
[17:01] Reigen
Huh?
[17:02] Reigen
She's not showing up on my screen.
[17:04] Reigen
She ran!
[17:06] Dimp
That's a monster born from rumors.
[17:09] Dimp
You can't classify her as real or fake.
[17:13] Reigen
What do you mean?
[17:14] Dimp
The imagination of the masses,
[17:16] Dimp
and their fear and curiosity,
is what gave birth to her.
[17:20] Dimp
Her looks and her strength
was all decided by humans!
[17:24] Reigen
So you're saying their imagination
became reality?
[17:27] Shin
Th-That's right...
[17:29] Shin
And since we know about the Dragger,
we won't be able to exorcise her.
[17:32] Reien
Huh? Why?
[17:33] Shin
Wasn't there a time as a kid when you
were frightened by rumors about her?
[17:38] Reigen
True...
[17:41] Reigen
The Dragger would appear before kids
heading home from school,
[17:44] Reigen
snatching them up and
dragging them into the bog...
[17:47] Reigen
I didn't believe in Santa Claus,
[17:49] Reigen
but thinking about her on rainy days
as I passed street corners
[17:52] Reigen
would give me goosebumps, too.
[17:56] Shin
That fear is still burned into our brains.
[18:00] Shin
We're even trembling as we speak.
[18:02] Reigen
So I'm breaking out in a cold sweat
because I'm scared deep down?
[18:07] Shin
Powers used in fear only empower its source.
[18:12] Shin
My spiritual powers did nothing.
[18:15] Shin
She grows by absorbing the powers
of those who fear her.
[18:19] Shin
Attacking her is futile.
[18:22] Reigen
Then we have no choice but to run.
[18:24] Reigen
Mob, temporary retreat...
[18:26] Reigen
Wh-What is this?!
[18:28] Shin
I'm stuck!
[18:29] Dimp
This must be her doing.
[18:35] Reigen
She's huge!
[18:35] Shin
What?!
[18:44] Reigen
Didn't you hear him, Mob?
Your powers will be absorbed, too!
[18:48] Dimp
Wait, hang on a sec...
[18:51] Dimp
It's actually working!
[18:55] Dimp
I see... Shigeo...
[18:58] Dimp
He's detached from urban legends, fads,
and other hot topics among people.
[19:04] Dimp
He's completely out of the loop!
[19:08] Dimp
So he has no idea
what makes the Dragger so scary!
[19:20] Mob
It's a ghost that appears
on rainy days, right?
[19:22] Mob
It's not exactly not scary.
[19:24] Reigen
You don't get it!
[19:26] Reigen
The Dragger has a grip strength
of 500 kilograms!
[19:29] Reigen
Once she grabs you, you can't escape!
[19:31] Reigen
And she can swim 100 meters in 20 seconds!
[19:33] Mob
Oh, so that's the kind of character she is.
[19:36] Reigen
What, you think she's some
kind of OC or something?
[19:40] Reigen
You should at least pretend to be
scared or shocked by these things.
[19:43] Reigen
This is why nobody clues you in.
[19:45] Mob
But you used to say that
I didn't have to be like others.
[19:49] Reigen
Lip service gains importance
as you grow up.
[19:55] Shin
I got injured while I was unconscious?
[19:59] Shin
Anyway, thanks.
That was a valuable experience.
[20:02] Shin
I'm going to the police now to
talk to them about the flasher.
[20:05] Shin
Guess this is goodbye.
[20:06] Shin
Ow!
[20:08] Reigen
Yeah, take care.
[20:11] Reigen
Well, I guess we should check out
Dash Granny before we leave.
[20:23] Reigen
Looks like we got here at the perfect time.
[20:28] Reigen
Keep your guard up.
[20:38] Reigen
There she is! She actually showed up!
[20:40] Reigen
Mob! Exorcise her!
[20:46] Mob
Huh? One more time...
[20:51] Mob
Huh?
[20:52] Dimp
What's wrong, Shigeo?
[20:53] Reigen
She's coming! Hey!
[20:55] Mob
Oh, no... I can't exorcise her...
[20:58] Mob
The Dragger doesn't even compare...
She's too powerful.
[21:02] Both
What?!
[21:04] Reigen
Hey, come on now...
[21:06] Mob
What do we do?
[21:07] Reigen
There's only one thing we can do! Get away!
[21:09] Reigen
Run!
[21:10] Dimp
Hey, what happens if she catches up?
[21:12] Reigen
Apparently, she jumps on your back
and strangles you to death!
[21:18] Reigen
Run! Run! She's catching up!
[21:21] Reigen
Step on it, Mob!
[21:38] Reigen
Turns out she was just
some old lady running...
[21:41] Dimp
Couldn't you have used your powers
to teleport or something?
[21:46] Reigen
Why are you crying?
SIGN Scraped his face
[21:49] Mob
Because... I run every day...
[21:53] Mob
But that old lady beat me!
SIGN Ding...
[21:57] Dimp
It's not a competition, man.
[21:59] Reigen
Well, I got that old lady's picture,
[22:02] Reigen
so I guess our work here's done.
[22:05] Nar

traumatic experience with urban legends.

What is this?

What's wrong, Mob?
