**[00:02] Reigen**
Dang... I finally climbed up the ladder
enough to get a TV appearance.
**[00:05] Reigen**
These greenrooms sure do
make you restless, though.
**[00:09] AD**
Reigen-san, you're up.
**[00:15] Reigen**
All right. Let's do this.

Oh, this must be it.
Jodo-sama's return to TV.
**[01:57] Shinra**
R-Reigen?!
**[01:59] Shinra**
What the heck is he doing?
**[02:01] Mori**
And now... Will we be able to save the poor,
***SIGN*** Host
***SIGN*** Ebihara Morizo
**[02:04] Mori**
unfortunate young man that's been possessed?
**[02:07] Mori**
Let's introduce our two powerful helpers!
**[02:12] Mori**
The first one needs no introduction.
**[02:13] Mori**
The president of the Rising Sun
Spiritual Union, Jodo Kirin-sensei!
***SIGN*** Jodo Kirin
**[02:18] Mori**
He's solved devastating problems for many.
He's the best of the best!
**[02:23] Mori**
The other is making his
first appearance on TV.
**[02:26] Mori**
Reigen Arataka-sensei!
**[02:30] Reigen**
Why, hello there. I'm Reigen Arataka.
**[02:34] Reigen**
You can find my business in Seasoning City.
***SIGN*** Do Spiritual Powers Actually Exist!?
***SIGN*** Special!
**[02:36] Mori**
What are some of your accomplishments up till now, Reigen-sensei?
**[02:41] Reigen**
It's hard to choose just one...
**[02:44] Reigen**
Oh, but I did defeat the Dragger.
***SIGN*** Mogi Tatsuya
**[02:46] Satake**
Huh? That's awesome.
**[02:48] Mori**
Looks like we can expect great things.
**[02:51] Mori**
And now, let's bring out the boy.
***SIGN*** Spooky
**[02:54] Mori**
To be extra careful,
since he may freak out,
**[02:57] Mori**
we have him securely bound.
***SIGN*** Go to Reigen-sensei!
***SIGN*** Go to Reigen-sensei!
**[03:07] Mori**
What do you think?
**[03:09] Reigen**
I see...
**[03:10] Reigen**
The footage we just watched
**[03:12] Reigen**
mentioned that he was possessed by a fox
after playing the Kokkuri-san game.
**[03:17] Reigen**
*But to be more precise,*
**[03:18] Reigen**
* it's a ghost of a Rüppell's fox,*
* which are usually found in North Africa.*
**[03:21] Mori**
What's this? He was able to precisely
deduce the kind of ghost it is!
**[03:25] Mori**
What do you think, Jodo-sensei?
**[03:27] Jodo**
The poor child...
being strapped down like that.
**[03:30] Jodo**
I'm hoping we don't have to keep
those things on him much longer.
**[03:32] Mori**
I see. So we all feel the same.
**[03:37] Mori**
And now, we're finally going to
witness the public exorcism!
**[03:41] Mori**
But before that,
a word from our sponsors.
**[03:46] AD**
When we're back on air, we're going
to have Jodo-sensei do the exorcism.
**[03:50] Jodo**
Actually, why don't we have
Reigen-kun give it a shot?
**[03:54] Reigen**
Wha—
**[03:55] Jodo**
No one wants to see an old man.
**[03:58] Jodo**
Let's show the country how
a next-generation psychic does things.
**[04:03] Reigen**
Wasn't I just supposed to sit
there and comment today?
**[04:08] Jodo**
I'm trying to give you the spotlight here.
**[04:12] Jodo**
But if you're not up to the task, very well.
**[04:14] Jodo**
I'll do it, just as it says in the script.
**[04:16] Reigen**
*The script?*
**[04:18] Reigen**
*I see!*
**[04:19] Reigen**
One moment! I'll do it after all.
**[04:24] AD**
Okay... sure.
**[04:25] AD**
Reigen-sensei's going to
perform the exorcism this time.
**[04:28] AD**
We're coming back from commercial!
***SIGN*** Supernatural Detective
Special!!
**[04:32] Mori**
* And it looks like we're just about*
* ready for this public exorcism.*
**[04:37] Mori**
*The one performing this exorcism*
**[04:39] Mori**
* is an exciting newcomer*
* who has had a meteoric rise!*
**[04:42] Mori**
*Reigen Arataka-sensei! Are you ready?*
***SIGN*** Karaoke
**[04:46] Reigen**
* Leave it to me! I, Reigen Arataka,*
* shall accept this job!*
**[04:51] Reigen**
*I shall successfully get rid of this spirit!*
**[04:55] Reigen**
*Live or not, this is still a TV show.*
**[04:59] Reigen**
*It's all a setup written by some scriptwriter.*
**[05:03] Reigen**
*If I do some random exorcism,*
**[05:04] Reigen**
* that'll quietly be the cue*
* for the boy to calm down*
**[05:07] Reigen**
*and the studio audience to clap.*
**[05:09] Reigen**
* Then the host will praise me,*
* and the show will be over.*
***SIGN*** Splashity Splash
**[05:21] Reigen**
Salt Splash!
**[05:23] Mori**
And he just started throwing
a ton of salt outta nowhere!
**[05:27] Mori**
The spirit possessing the boy
seems to be struggling in agony.
**[05:30] Mori**
It's working! It's really working!
**[05:33] Reigen**
*But it has never worked before!*
**[05:36] Reigen**
*This kid is acting!*
**[05:39] Reigen**
* Now that I know that,*
* I'm not pulling any punches!*

Air Banishing Salt...
**[05:50] Reigen**

**[05:51] Mori**
A clean hit!
**[05:54] Mori**
Well, it's been about 30 minutes
since the exorcism started,
**[05:58] Mori**
but apparently, the spirit
just refuses to leave.
**[06:01] Mori**
Talk about resilient.
**[06:02] Reigen**

**[06:04] Reigen**

**[06:11] Mori**
All right, let's have our
other psychic step in.
**[06:14] Reigen**
Huh?
**[06:15] Mori**
Jodo Kirin-sensei, if you would.
**[06:20] Reigen**
*W-Wait... Was I just an opening act?*
**[06:23] Reigen**
*Is he going to take all the glory?!*
**[06:25] Reigen**
Hang on a sec. I've almost got it.
**[06:28] Reigen**
Switching right now would be—
**[06:30] Mori**
Look, we're live.
**[06:34] Jodo**
Reigen-kun, good work the last 30 minutes.
**[06:37] Reigen**
*You wily, scheming old man!*
**[06:39] Mori**
All right, Jodo-sensei! Let's see you work!
**[06:42] Reigen**
*My spotlight!*
**[06:45] Jodo**
What am I supposed to exorcise here?
This boy isn't even possessed.
**[06:49] Jodo**
He's just acting.

* Oh, come on, you geezer!*
* Get a clue!*
**[06:56] Reigen**
* Why'd you ruin all that setup*
* the program built up for you?!*
**[06:59] Mori**
You are absolutely correct!
**[07:01] Mori**
I'm impressed you were able to see the truth
**[07:04] Mori**
when everyone in the studio has
been tricked this whole time!
**[07:07] Mori**
A true psychic has just been revealed!
**[07:16] Boy**
My name is Fukuda Suzuo, and I'm a child
actor from the Mongolian Spot Agency!
**[07:19] Mori**
That was some brilliant acting!
**[07:22] Boy**
Thank you very much!
**[07:24] Satake**
I could barely tell he was acting!
**[07:26] Mori**
Sci-fi researcher, Mogi-san,
what did you think?
**[07:29] Mogi**
I'd like to ask that gentleman over there
**[07:33] Mogi**
what all that "exorcism" crap was about.
**[07:36] Mogi**
What were you doing to a spirit
that didn't even exist?
**[07:39] Mori**
Reigen-sensei, I'm sure our viewers
are wondering that as well.
**[07:45] Mori**
Could it be... that you actually
don't have spiritual powers?
**[07:50] Jodo**
Come, now. Let's just say
this is how he works.
**[07:54] Mori**
Excellent work, Jodo-sensei!
**[07:56] Jodo**
It should've been completely obvious
if the boy was possessed or not...
**[08:01] Jodo**
If you're a true psychic, that is.
**[08:03] Jodo**
Oh, I beg your pardon.
**[08:05] Jodo**
It's not like I'm referring to Reigen-san.
**[08:08] Jodo**
I'm sure he was trying to liven things
up for the sake of the program.
**[08:12] Mori**
But I can guarantee that we
didn't ask him to do that.
**[08:15] Satake**
What? Really? Poor Fukuda-kun.
**[08:19] Mogi**
It was basically torture.
**[08:20] Jodo**
Then what in the world were
you doing for 30 minutes?
**[08:24] Jodo**
Some new kind of dance?
**[08:27] Reigen**
I mean... It appeared as though that
boy was possessed by some spirit...
**[08:31] Reigen**
So I exorcised it.
**[08:32] Reigen**
Even if he was merely acting
like he was possessed,
**[08:35] Reigen**
spirits could come by at any moment.
**[08:37] Jodo**
What? A spirit was here?
I didn't even notice.
**[08:41] Jodo**
When did it appear?
**[08:43] Reigen**
About 30 minutes ago...
**[08:44] Jodo**
Right on the dot! I never knew
evil spirits were so punctual!
**[08:51] Jodo**
What kind of spirit was it? Huh?
What kind of spirit was it?
**[08:55] Reigen**
It was a man...
**[08:57] Reigen**
I think he was German...
**[08:59] Reigen**
*Stop it, me! If you say another word...*
**[09:05] Reigen**
It was Beethoven.
**[09:06] Jodo**
Du-du-du-dunnn!

**[09:30] Taro**
They're apparently making
a group for his victims.
**[09:32] Taro**
Wanna go?
**[09:34] Hanako**
But we're not victims, though.
**[09:36] Hat**
So he was a con artist after all.

It's probably his fault

They used me as a scapegoat to boost

Don't you think you need

***SIGN*** To Arataka – From Mom
***SIGN*** I'll show you a top secret way to...
***SIGN*** You seem to be in a lot of trouble. I prepared an apology for you to say at the press conference, so if you get in trouble, just read that. Learn your lesson from this, quit this scamming business, and get a real job. I know your dad doesn't say it much, but he's worried about you. You should come home. You haven't been home lately at all. This is the perfect opportunity for us to all have a family meeting. I'm on your side.
***SIGN*** Apology
***SIGN*** Thank you all for gathering here today.
I'm sorry that you all had to take the time

First of all, I'd like to apologize to all the people I've troubled,

I'd like to take this opportunity to formally apologize to everyone.
I'm so terribly sorry for everything I've done.

What's with that attitude?!
**[14:14] Lady**
What?!
**[14:15] Guy**
Are you mocking us?!
**[14:16] Guy**
You're the one who said you'd
hold a press conference!
**[14:19] Reigen**
That's because you guys kept
stalking me to my house.
**[14:21] Reigen**
You basically made me hold this thing.
**[14:24] Lady**
I have a few questions regarding
the fraudulent acts you've committed.
**[14:28] Reigen**
Hang on a sec.
**[14:29] Reigen**
By "fraudulent acts," are you
referring to my business?
**[14:32] Reigen**
Is there anyone here that can actually prove
I don't have any spiritual powers?
**[14:37] Reigen**
Or maybe any victims who can
prove they've been scammed?
**[14:40] Guy**
There are a lot of people who've
reported that they've been scammed—
**[14:43] Reigen**
Right. Self-proclaimed "victims."
**[14:45] Guy**
Why are you saying it like that?!
**[14:47] Reigen**
Because it hasn't been proven.
**[14:50] Reigen**
Unless and until they are,
I can still call myself a psychic.
**[14:53] Reigen**
I'm not a criminal.
**[14:55] Reigen**
I'd be careful with how you
phrase things if I were you.
**[14:58] Guy**
All right, I have a question.
**[15:00] Reigen**
Go ahead.
**[15:01] Guy**
Do you actually have spiritual powers?
**[15:03] Reigen**
No comment.
***SIGN*** Recording
**[15:05] Guy**
Why won't you answer?
**[15:07] Reigen**
Because you won't be satisfied
unless I say "no."
**[15:11] Reigen**
I can't prove that I have spiritual powers
since you all lack them yourselves.
**[15:14] Guy**
Are you really going to try
to talk your way out of this?
**[15:18] Guy**
Judging from the broadcast the other day,
**[15:20] Guy**
you do seem like you're
excellent at ad-libbing.
**[15:23] Reigen**
Tch.

**[15:39] Reigen**
About four years ago.
**[15:40] Guy**
What were you doing prior to that?
**[15:42] Reigen**
I worked at some company.
**[15:44] Guy**
Did that company have anything
to do with psychics?
**[15:47] Reigen**
No, not at all.
**[15:49] Guy**
He's actually answering the questions.
**[15:51] Guy**
What kind of problems did
people come to you with?
**[15:54] Reigen**
Stiff shoulders, spirit photos, and stuff.
**[15:57] Guy**
Did they see any results?
**[15:59] Reigen**
Those cases have been solved.
**[16:00] Guy**
Any particular case that stands out?
**[16:04] Reigen**
Getting rid of some urban legends.
**[16:06] Lady**
Have you ever had any
conflicts with your clients?
**[16:08] Reigen**
I have not.
**[16:09] Guy**
Have you ever sold any expensive
salt or prayer beads?
**[16:12] Reigen**
I have not.
**[16:13] Guy**
Apparently, information about when you were
a student is spreading over the Internet.
**[16:17] Reigen**
That doesn't matter.
**[16:19] Guy**
According to your graduation
essay, you wrote this...
**[16:23] Guy**
"I want to be somebody."
**[16:29] Guy**
What made you get into the psychic business?
**[16:35] Reigen**
Why?
**[16:37] Teru**
Reigen-san looks pretty pale...

What's wrong?
**[16:52] Reigen**
*Why did I decide to live as a psychic?*
**[16:57] Reigen**
* It's not like it's lucrative,*
* and it's usually troublesome.*

Thank you very much!
**[17:25] Lady**
My body felt so heavy,
but now I'm fine!
**[17:30] Reigen**
*Man, I'm bored.*
**[17:32] Reigen**
* As it stands, I'm no*
* different from a masseur.*
**[17:35] Reigen**
*Guess it's about time to wrap things up.*
**[17:39] Reigen**
*I wonder what I should do next.*

*Being a PI sounds pretty fun,*

**[17:48] (Flashback) Mob**
Excuse me.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Mob**
I came here because I saw your sign.
**[17:51] (Flashback) Reigen**
Sure thing.
**[17:53] (Flashback) Reigen**
How may I help you?
**[17:54] (Flashback) Reigen**
Er... Oh, it's just a kid.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Reigen**
What do you want, boy?
**[17:59] (Flashback) Mob**
Um, I'm an esper.
**[18:02] (Flashback) Rei**
Wha?
**[18:03] (Flashback) Mob**
There are times when I can't
control my powers very well,
**[18:06] (Flashback) Mob**
and it's scary.
**[18:07] Reigen**
* You shitty little brat.*
* This must be a prank.*
**[18:11] (Flashback) Reigen**
Did someone tell you to
come here and tell me that?
**[18:14] (Flashback) Mob**
No. I haven't been able to
talk to anyone about this.
**[18:17] (Flashback) Mob**
I thought you might be the same as me...
**[18:21] (Flashback) Mob**
If I tried, I could see spirits, too.
**[18:23] Reigen**
* A pathological liar?*
* No, maybe it's an overactive imagination.*
**[18:28] Reigen**
*Either way, he seems rather troubled by this.*
**[18:32] (Flashback) Reigen**
Well, come on in.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Mob**
Okay.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Reigen**
I was troubled a lot when I was a kid, too.
**[18:42] Reigen**
*What's with this kid?*
**[18:43] Reigen**
* He's staring at me with*
* eyes brimming with hope.*
**[18:45] Reigen**
*This is serious.*
**[18:47] Reigen**
*This kid's in his own fantasy world.*
**[18:50] Reigen**
* I'll just come up with something*
* to get him to go home.*
**[18:53] (Flashback) Reigen**
Listen. Just because you have psychic powers
**[18:57] (Flashback) Reigen**
doesn't make you any less human.
**[19:00] (Flashback) Reigen**
It's the same as people who are fast,
people who are book smart,
**[19:02] (Flashback) Reigen**
and people with strong body odor.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Reigen**
Psychic powers are just
another characteristic.
**[19:08] (Flashback) Reigen**
You must embrace that as a part of
yourself and continue to live positively.
**[19:13] (Flashback) Reigen**
The truth behind one's charm is kindness.
**[19:16] (Flashback) Reigen**
Become a good person. That is all.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Mob**
May I come to talk to you again?
**[19:22] (Flashback) Reigen**
Yeah, I don't know about that.
I'm pretty busy, you know?
**[19:26] (Flashback) Reigen**
Anyway, you should go home for tod— Hot!
**[19:28] (Flashback) Reigen**
Hey, don't get bur—
**[19:35] (Flashback) Reigen**
Hey... You said you could
see ghosts, too, right?
**[19:41] (Flashback) Reigen**
Do you know how to exorcise them, too?
**[19:46] (Flashback) Reigen**
All right. Come again tomorrow
around the same time.
**[19:49] (Flashback) Mob**
What? Really?
**[19:51] (Flashback) Reigen**
I'll show you how to use your powers.
**[19:55] Reigen**
* Back then, I couldn't help but admire*
* this kid that walked into my life.*
**[20:00] Reigen**
*I wanted to grasp something for myself, too.*
**[20:03] Reigen**
*I wanted to become someone special.*
**[20:07] Reigen**
*Yet this is the result.*
**[20:10] Reigen**
*I haven't changed at all since then.*
**[20:12] Reigen**
*I just kept using him.*
**[20:15] Reigen**
*In the end, I couldn't become anything.*
**[20:19] Reigen**
* Maybe I was the one who was holding*
* him back from his youth the most.*
**[20:26] Reigen**
*Man, I said something really awful back then.*
**[20:29] Reigen**
* He wanted to change,*
* and yet I tried to cage him in.*
**[20:37] Reigen**
*Hey, Mob... Are you watching?*
