[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.

[01:57] Shinra

[01:59] Shinra

    And now... Will we be able to save the poor,

[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!

    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.

[06:11] 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.

    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!

    Why did you all gather here today, anyway?

    It's pretty common to suddenly get tired

[14:13] Guy
    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.

    I can't prove that I have spiritual powers
    since you all lack them yourselves.

    Are you really going to try

[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

[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?

    Thank you very much!

    My body felt so heavy,

[17:30] Reigen
    Man, I'm bored.
[17:32] Reigen
    As it stands, I'm no

[17:35] Reigen
    Guess it's about time to wrap things up.
[17:39] Reigen
    I wonder what I should do next.
[17:41] Reigen
    Being a PI sounds pretty fun,
[17:43] Reigen
    but maybe not, since apparently they mostly
    do investigations on cheating spouses.
[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!

    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.
