[00:08] Mob     Mezato-san. G-Good morning. [00:12] Mob     Why didn't you come to our     meeting spot yesterday? [00:17] Mezato     Oh... Morning, Mob-kun. [00:20] Mezato     Sorry about our plans yesterday... [00:23] Mezato     I totally forgot about them. [00:25] Mob     You forgot...? [00:27] Mezato     The brass had a meeting     the day before the gathering. [00:30] Mezato     And that's when he appeared... [00:33] Mezato     The true founder. [00:35] Mob     Huh? [00:36] Mezato     I'm sorry I dragged you into this when     you were clearly the wrong person. [00:40] Mezato     Don't worry about it anymore. [00:47] Mob     Don't worry about what anymore? [00:50] Mob     Wait, what's going on? SIGN    Ishikawa Naoko SIGN    Ishikawa Naoko SIGN    Yoshida Tetsuro SIGN     SIGN    Kageyama Shigeo SIGN    Mob Psycho SIGN    Divine Tree 1      The Founder Appears SIGN    Body Improvement Club [02:28] Tome     Sorry, I totally forgot. [02:32] Tome     I have no idea why I     suddenly forgot, though. [02:38] Mob     Does it have something to do     with the Psycho Helmet Religion? [02:42] Tome     Huh? How did you know? [02:44] Tome     Some members approached me yesterday     and invited me to some seminar, [02:47] Tome     and I ended up way more interested     in that than the universe. [02:52] Tome     Boys, starting today, this room is     no longer for the Telepathy Club, [02:55] Tome     but the Salt MS branch of     the Psycho Helmet Religion. [02:57] Inukawa     What? [03:00] Inukawa     What the heck are we supposed to do? [03:02] Tome     We will pray to the Psycho Helmet Religion! [03:05] Tome     Apparently, you'll be blessed     if you do five minutes a day. [03:08] Inukawa     That's random as hell. SIGN    Hideaway Café SIGN    Spirits and Such Consultation Office [03:11] Reigen     So the gathering for the Psycho     Helmet Religion yesterday... [03:14] Reigen     That video has over two million views. [03:18] Reigen     Well? That's the guy who became the founder.     Does he look familiar? [03:23] Mob     No, not at all. [03:27] Reigen     He is a psychic, right? [03:30] Reigen     After that display, everyone there fell in line. [03:33] Reigen     If this guy's gonna be the founder... [03:36] Reigen     Sadly, I don't think they'll need you anymore. [03:40] Reigen     Well, whatever.     You were never the type anyway. [03:46] Mob     So what's this important thing     you wanted to talk about? [03:49] Reigen     Oh, yeah... [03:52] Mob     Pictures of buildings? [03:53] Mob     Wow, those cracks are intense... [03:56] Reigen     Buildings deteriorating due to     some supernatural phenomena. [04:00] Reigen     I went to have a look up close,     and it wasn't due to faulty construction. [04:04] Reigen     The cause was plant roots. [04:07] Reigen     Thinking back, I guess that one building     had already been affected, too. [04:12] Reigen     The roots across the city are [04:14] Reigen     busting through reinforced steel and     concrete to scour for nutrients. [04:18] Reigen     I thought it might be some exotic plant, [04:20] Reigen     but the source of the roots     was the worst possible place. [04:24] Reigen     The culprit is the most popular     thing in the city right now... [04:29] Reigen     It's the Divine Tree. [04:31] Mob     The broccoli? [04:33] Reigen     Yup! Meaning if we let that     thing continue to run wild, [04:35] Reigen     all we'll ever get are those jobs     asking us to investigate buildings. [04:38] Mob     Is that really a problem? [04:40] Reigen     It's a lot of work, and worse,     it doesn't bring in any money. [04:43] Reigen     Not to mention, we are slightly     responsible for that thing, too. [04:48] Reigen     Mob... I need your help. [04:51] Reigen     We're going to go destroy that broccoli! [04:57] Mob     All right. [04:59] Female Believer     Hello! Please take one. [05:02] Passerby     Uh... what is this? SIGN    The Divine     Tree's Bounty [05:04] Female Believer     It's a powder made from     part of the Divine Tree. [05:07] Female Believer     Think of it as a nutritional tonic. [05:09] Customer 1     They have a new menu item! [05:11] Customer 2     I want the Divine Tree parfait! [05:13] Customer 3     They have Divine Tree croquettes, too! [05:15] Customer 4     You can even sample stuff! [05:16] Customer 5     Seasoning City sure is putting a lot     of effort into bringing tourists in. [05:20] Boy A     What's that? [05:21] Boy B     Divine Tree candy, I guess. [05:23] Boy C     Is it good? [05:24] Boy D     What's it taste like? [05:26] Boy E     Hey! [05:28] Teru     Oh, homemade cookies? [05:32] Teru     "I sprinkled some Divine Tree powder     on them, which increases vitality, [05:36] Teru     so please eat them and feel better." [05:39] Teru     I guess they were handing out this     powder in front of the station, too. [05:47] Teru     Yup, it's totally normal. [05:49] Teru     I'm sure the powder just     has a placebo effect. SIGN    Milk [05:55] Teru     This is great...     The Divine Tree... is amazing. [06:00] Teru     Psycho Helmet-sama... Huzzah. [06:07] Teru     Powerful brainwashing that totally     takes over your emotions... [06:11] Teru     This is what they're     handing out in the city? [06:13] Teru     They won't get away with this. [06:16] Teru     Now I'm mad! [06:19] Teru     The source of the brainwashing seemed     to be coming from the Divine Tree. [06:23] Teru     I'm gonna destroy it and     get it out of this city! [06:29] Teru     Must be past here.     Sorry, but I'm gonna open up a hole. [06:38] Teru     A barrier? [06:49] Teru     I guess you were expecting me. [06:57] Teru     Wait. Is that you, Kageyama-kun? [07:01] Teru     I guess he just looks like him. [07:03] Teru     Who are you? What are you doing here? [07:07] Psycho Helmet     Who am I? I'm... [07:11] Psycho Helmet     God, of course. [07:15] Teru     God? God... Of course. [07:19] Teru     I beg your pardon, Psycho Helmet-sama. [07:23] Teru     Please forgive me. [07:26] Psycho Helmet     Look what you did to the Divine Tree     that empowers my existence... [07:30] Psycho Helmet     I'll let this slide for today.     Now go home. [07:33] Teru     Thank you very much. [07:34] Psycho Helmet     Carry on being faithful. [07:37] Teru     Yes. Faith. God. Psycho Helmet. [07:43] Teru     Divine Tree. Religion... [07:46] Teru     Empty? [07:48] Psycho Helmet     Tch. Man, you're a pain in the ass, too. [07:54] Teru     How dare you?! [07:59] Teru     How dare you brainwash     me not once, but twice? [08:03] Psycho Helmet     It's not brainwashing. This is a blessing. [08:07] Psycho Helmet     For those who have nothing and     long for a place to belong... [08:11] Psycho Helmet     I'm giving them exactly that. [08:17] Psycho Helmet     Come on, now. Are you trying to kill me? [08:20] Teru     Well, you're not a person, are you? [08:22] Psycho Helmet     Correct. [08:24] Psycho Helmet     I am God! [08:26] Psycho Helmet     You're a bit off your rocker     if you're going to defy God. [08:29] Psycho Helmet     Go on! Just think about it! [08:32] Teru     He's trying his brainwashing again... [08:34] Teru     That's enough! [08:36] Teru     Your brainwashing signal [08:39] Teru     forcefully makes people venerate     the Psycho Helmet Religion. [08:45] Teru     But strong emotions can fight it     and overcome the brainwashing. [08:54] Psycho Helmet     Here I come. [08:59] Teru     I've had enough of all of you fools     trying to control people through power. [09:05] Teru     That won't help make you God, [09:08] Teru     nor will it make you the star. [09:14] Teru     Now, then. I wonder who you actually were. [09:18] Teru     What's this? [09:28] Shop owner     Minegishi-kun, you can take your break now. [09:31] Minegishi     Thank you... Sir. [09:34] Shop owner     What is it? [09:34] Minegishi     There seems to be something     wrong with the plants. [09:37] Minegishi     These flowers were fine this morning,     but now they're wilted. [09:41] Minegishi     It's as if they've had the     life sucked out of them. [09:46] Minegishi     I think we should find out the cause— [09:47] Shop owner     Minegishi-kun. [09:49] Shop owner     I told you you're on break,     so take your break already. SIGN    Smiley Flowers [09:58] Minegishi     Who knew that having a     proper job was so rough? [10:04] Minegishi     Even weeds on the side of     the road are weakened. [10:07] Minegishi     And the crack is bigger than yesterday. [10:09] Minegishi     What's causing this? [10:13] Minegishi     What tree are you from? [10:17] Minegishi     I see. [10:19] Minegishi     The Divine Tree. [10:21] Minegishi     It's stealing the energy     from all of the plants in the city. [10:26] Minegishi     If this is left unchecked,     the land will start to die. [10:29] Minegishi     I'm glad I realized this early on. SIGN    Tea [10:33] Minegishi     You grew far too greedily. [10:35] Minegishi     This is an order. Do not— SIGN    Let's be respectful SIGN    Let's make sure to take any     dog poop home with us [10:39] Shop owner     Hey, Minegishi-kun. How long of     a break do you plan on taking? [10:45] Shop owner     Huh? Minegishi-kun? SIGN    Tea [10:48] Mineigishi     Impossible... [10:53] Teru     You sure are persistent.     How long are you gonna keep regenerating? [10:59] Psycho Helmet     You won't be able to stop me. [11:03] Psycho Helmet     Will you, Hanazawa? [11:06] Teru     I see. [11:08] Teru     I guess you really were just     a worthless evil spirit. [11:11] Teru     So what's with that appearance, Dimple-kun? [11:15] Dimple     I used the stems of the Divine     Tree to create a body [11:18] Dimple     and designed it with the icon of the     Psycho Helmet Religion in mind. [11:22] Dimple     Because the believers wouldn't be able     to see me if I remained a spirit. [11:25] Teru     What are you after? [11:27] Teru     Does Kageyama-kun know     you're flying off the handle like this? [11:30] Dimple     Shigeo doesn't matter.     I've only ever had one goal. [11:35] Dimple     And that's to become a modern God. [11:39] Teru     I see. That's a shame. I never thought     I'd have to eliminate you again. [11:44] Teru     I'll just tell Kageyama-kun     that you quietly passed on. [11:48] Teru     This is goodbye!

[12:08] Mob     It feels like we're being watched. [12:12] Reigen     You mentioned that you thought     you were finally becoming popular. [12:15] Reigen     Everyone goes through a stage of     feeling overconfident, but... [12:19] Reigen     I wouldn't go around talking about it. [12:22] Reigen     Because you're going to     regret it in a few years. [12:27] Mob     You said you wanted to destroy that broccoli.     What did you have in mind? [12:32] Reigen     Well, I have actually thought it through. [12:35] Reigen     Simple, right? SIGN    1. Lift it up with psychic powers.      2. Carry it off.      3. Sink it into the ocean. [12:37] Mob     Um... So I'm the one who's going     to carry it to the ocean... [12:40] Reigen     Yup. I'm going to secure routes     and guide you there. [12:44] Mob     This is gonna be a lot of work. [12:47] Mob     It'd be great if we can     find someone to help. [12:50] Reigen     Well, Serizawa's at school...     How about your brother? [12:54] Mob     Ritsu... He had a student     council meeting today, [12:56] Mob     so he might still be at school. [13:02] Mob     Ritsu! [13:03] Reigen     Heya. [13:05] Ritsu     Uh... [13:06] Ritsu     I'm pretty sure it's impossible     to lift that thing, Nii-san. [13:10] Mob     A while back, a few of us carried a piano. [13:13] Mob     It would've been impossible alone,     but we could do it together. [13:18] Mob     So maybe we can do this, too. [13:22] Psycho Believer     Here is powder from the Divine Tree. [13:24] Psycho Believer     Here you go. It's great for your health. [13:26] Reigen     What's the matter?     Do you wanna bail after all? [13:28] Ritsu     Er... [13:29] Reigen     Come on, Ritsu-kun! [13:31] Reigen     If we don't do something, we won't be     able to live in Seasoning City anymore! [13:34] Reigen     My mom said that when she planted     watermelons in her yard, [13:37] Reigen     it killed off all of the     other plants and flowers. [13:40] Reigen     Just look at the size of it!     It's probably sucking all life out of the soil. [13:45] Ritsu     Okay, okay. I got it.     I'll help you out. [13:53] Mob     Is something wrong? [13:54] Ritsu     No, it's probably nothing. [13:58] (Flashback) Kamuro     Prayer time? [14:00] (Flashback) Kamuro     What do you mean by that? [14:01] (Flashback) Makihara     We're going to offer a prayer     so we can have another blessed day. [14:06] (Flashback) Tokugawa     What are you talking about?     Are you feeling all right, Makihara? [14:10] (Flashback) Tokugawa     What would we be praying to anyway? [14:13] (Flashback) Makihara     We'll be praying to Psycho Helmet-sama,     who embodies the Divine Tree. [14:18] (Flashback) Makihara     All in favor, say aye. [14:20] (Flashback) Tokugawa     Hey, Makihara— [14:21] (Flashback) Student Council A     Aye. [14:22] (Flashback) Student Council B     Aye. [14:23] (Flashback) Student Council C     Aye. SIGN    • The number of class mobilizations by time period     • Things we want to do by next year     • Each grade ..... reports, classes with guidance     • Do we elect a Miss and Mister Salt Middle from the third-years, too?     • Total results of how satisfied the people of the region are     • The president's summary [14:25] (Flashback) Tokugawa     Wait! This is insane. [14:27] (Flashback) Tokugawa     Quit fooling— [14:29] (Flashback) Kamuro     Now, now. [14:30] (Flashback) Kamuro     No reason to decline so hastily. [14:33] (Flashback) Kamuro     It is always difficult     to accept new opinions. [14:36] (Flashback) Tokugawa     Kamuro?! [14:39] Ritsu     Nii-san, have you heard of     the Psycho Helmet Religion? [14:42] Mob     Huh? Are you interested in it, too, Ritsu? [14:45] Ritsu     No way. But there are a lot of believers at our school, apparently... [14:49] Ritsu     And the rate at which it's spreading is bizarre. [14:52] Ritsu     And their object of worship, or whatever... [14:55] Ritsu     is that Divine Tree, apparently. [14:58] Reigen     Hm... Meaning if we destroy the broccoli,     we'll be making enemies of those people. [15:05] Reigen     But everything I've looked up about them     suggests they're pretty harmless. [15:09] Reigen     They sell merch and hold discussions. [15:12] Reigen     It seems more like a fan club     rather than a religion. [15:15] Reigen     It's like a gathering where they all     obsess over something unusual, pretty much. [15:20] Ritsu     And you'd usually call that strange. [15:23] Reigen     Of course, we should be on our guard. [15:25] Reigen     They might even try to     get in our way. Hm... [15:29] Reigen     Let's just go with pulling it out quickly and get the hell out of Dodge. [15:33] Ritsu     My head hurts! [15:35] Ritsu     I'll have some sugar. [15:37] Mob     Ritsu, you took some candy to school? [15:40] Ritsu     Oh, this? I got it from     the student council president earlier. [15:44] (Flashback) Kamuro     Kageyama-kun, before you go home, here. [15:48] (Flashback) Ritsu     What are these? [15:49] (Flashback) Kamuro     Apparently, it's a candy being made     to lure tourists to the city. [15:52] (Flashback) Kamuro     But my father got a bunch of samples     at the prefectural assembly. [15:58] (Flashback) Ritsu     Sure, thanks. [15:59] Kamuro     You're a lifesaver. [16:01] Ritsu     Have one, Nii-san. [16:03] Mob     Thanks. [16:05] Ritsu     You too, Reigen-san. [16:06] Reigen     Oh? Er, I'll take one for later. [16:09] Mob     I'll have mine later, too. [16:12] Mob     After I pull out that broccoli. [16:15] Ritsu     Could we make a pit stop on our way there? [16:21] Reigen     He sure is walking fast. [16:23] Mob     Where are you going, Ritsu? [16:27] Mob     Ritsu? SIGN    Seasoning City Civic Center [16:29] Ritsu     In here. There are some people     I want to introduce you to. [16:33] Reigen     This is the civic center. [16:41] Mob     Ritsu, who are these people? [16:44] Ritsu     They're members of the     Psycho Helmet Religion. [16:47] Reigen     Huh? [16:48] Ritsu     Nii-san, let's rethink this. [16:50] Mob     R-Rethink what...? [16:52] Believer     You can't play dumb with us. [16:54] Believer     You're trying to destroy the Divine Tree? [16:57] Ritsu     The Divine Tree brings peace     to everyone's hearts. [17:01] Ritsu     We need the Divine Tree in our city. [17:03] Reigen     Hang on a sec... [17:05] Reigen     When did you start leaking     information to these guys? [17:07] Mob     Ritsu, what's wrong? [17:09] Ritsu     I just suddenly realized that I     need to protect the Divine Tree. [17:13] Ritsu     And then I just had a feeling that     everyone would gather here. [17:17] Reigen     What are you planning to do,     bringing us here? [17:22] Reigen     That candy! [17:24] Ritsu     Have a seat, Nii-san.     You too, Reigen-san. [17:27] Female Believer     Here you go. Have some tea, too. [17:30] Male Believer     No need to be so guarded. [17:32] Male believer     Let's talk this over peacefully. [17:34] Male believer     How about it? [17:48] Ritsu     I guess they're not even willing to listen. [17:54] Mob     I don't think we needed to run that fast... [17:57] Reigen     If we stayed there, [17:58] Reigen     we would've fell under some group     hypnosis and ended up believers. [18:02] Reigen     Take out your candy, right now! [18:04] Mob     My candy? [18:06] Reigen     That place had a bunch of these. [18:08] Reigen     This might be how Ritsu got brainwashed. [18:11] Mob     Ritsu got brainwashed? [18:14] Mob     I can't leave him like that. [18:18] Reigen     Calm down! [18:19] Reigen     He doesn't seem to be in any real danger yet,     so we need to carefully look into— [18:22] Old man     Hey, there... [18:24] Old man     Resistance is futile.     Psycho Helmet-sama sees all. [18:33] Reigen     Mob, I think you're right. [18:37] Reigen     We're definitely being watched. [18:39] Reigen     Huh? What the hell is that shirt? [18:41] Reigen     Why did you take off your jacket? [18:42] Mob     I got hot after we ran. [18:46] Reigen     Keep it on. Your school jacket     has higher defense points. [18:51] Passerby (left)     Trying to do something     about the Divine Tree? [18:54] Passerby (right)     But that's impossible. [18:56] Jodo     Reigen Arataka. [18:58] Reigen     Gah! [18:59] Jodo     I heard that you were plotting     to cut down the Divine Tree! [19:02] Jodo     I'm going to lecture you and— [19:04] Jodo     He ran away! [19:07] Reigen     Damn it! [19:09] Reigen     Looks like most of the people in the city     have become Psycho Helmet Religion believers. [19:14] Mob     How did this happen? How can we... [19:18] Reigen     Psycho Helmet is an unknown psychic. [19:21] Reigen     I have no idea what he's thinking,     let alone what his endgame is. SIGN    Psycho Helmet Religion [19:25] Reigen     I'm sure he'll try to interfere     if we go to the Divine Tree. [19:29] Reigen     If he's some kind of villain, let's free     everyone from their brainwashing, [19:32] Reigen     even if it means taking him down. [19:46] Reigen     Say, Mob. [19:48] Reigen     What do you think about     the Psycho Helmet Religion? [19:51] Reigen     Do you think they're bad guys? [19:54] Mob     No. I don't think they're bad people. [19:58] Mob     They were just having fun     doing something as a group. [20:02] Reigen     You think so, too? I also— [20:05] Mob     But things are different since     their new founder appeared. SIGN    We are looking for our God.     Psycho Helmet Religion [20:11] Mob     If that person is a fake and is fooling     everyone into worshiping them, [20:16] Mob     I don't like how they're doing things. [20:19] Reigen     But, Mob... [20:21] Reigen     There never was a true founder,     so how can you call him a fake? [20:26] Mob     Huh? [20:27] Reigen     Are you trying to say that     you're the true Psycho Helmet? [20:33] Mob     No... [20:34] Reigen     The founder's existence was based     on a false image to begin with. [20:39] Reigen     I don't actually think     Psycho Helmet's a bad guy. [20:43] Reigen     Every community needs a leader. [20:46] Reigen     It's natural to think of him     as the president of a club. SIGN    We've Got This Party SIGN    Yumeji Nagao SIGN    Kimino Machio SIGN    Be Greedy SIGN    Yumeji Nagao SIGN    Tomorrow's Party SIGN    Morita Riki [20:49] Reigen     I'm sure he's mostly just responsible     for figuring out their group activities [20:53] Reigen     and making sure everything runs smoothly. [20:54] Reigen     I'm sure it's a tough job. [20:56] Reigen     He's pulling off something     you're not capable of doing. [21:00] Reigen     You don't need to hold a grudge     against him or anything. [21:03] Reigen     In the end, the one who     has the most fun wins. [21:06] Reigen     Maybe it's not a good idea to take     their Divine Tree away from them [21:09] Reigen     if they need it so badly. [21:13] Reigen     All right. Let's head home, Mob. [21:18] Mob     Master Reigen... This is just a hunch... [21:22] Mob     but have you been brainwashed? [21:26] Reigen     Me? [21:27] Reigen     Well... I see. [21:31] Reigen     So this is what it feels like to be accused     of being brainwashed when you're not. [21:41] Reigen     The hearts of the citizens are far     more important than the city. [21:45] Reigen     Most of the people in the city are     believers of the Psycho Helmet Religion. [21:49] Reigen     We should just respect that.
