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 SIGN    Enter SIGN    Mob Psycho 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!

[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?! SIGN    II SIGN    Mob Psycho     100 SIGN    II SIGN    Mob Psycho     100 [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.
