**[00:00] ---**
You're not going anywhere!
**[00:10] ---**
I'm the one who will transcend time!
**[00:17] ---**
My right arm! Osamu Kirin!
**[00:20] ---**
Lead me to the Reiwa era!
**[00:28] ---**
Damn you.
**[00:30] ---**
You're doing everything you can
to prevent us from going!
**[02:23] ---**
Momotaro, Momotaro...
**[02:27] ---**
those millet dumplings
in your hip pouch...
**[02:30] ---**
please, could you share one with me?
**[02:35] ---**
OSAMU KIRIN
**[02:36] ---**
There are even demons
that never existed before.
**[02:40] ---**
Who the hell are you?
**[02:42] ---**
I am Osamu Kirin.
**[02:45] ---**
During the day, I'm a mild-mannered
middle-school teacher.
**[02:48] ---**
But that's just a disguise
to hide my true identity.
**[02:51] ---**
By night, I punish demons
that lurk in the shadows of this town.
**[02:58] ---**
But the truth is...
**[03:04] ---**
I'm the remains of the right arm
of Kirinmaru of the Dawn.
**[03:09] ---**
In other words, I'm a demon too.
**[03:21] ---**
I'm hopping out of here!
**[03:28] ---**
RAIN
**[03:33] ---**
*More demons are appearing with each day.*
**[03:37] ---**
*I wonder if this is
the Grim Comet's doing.*
**[03:41] ---**
*I'm pretty sure I sensed
a fragment of the Grim Comet*
**[03:45] ---**
*come falling in this area.*
**[03:51] ---**
Tomorrow, tens of thousands of people
will gather to see this concert.
**[03:56] ---**
I hope nothing happens.
**[03:59] ---**
However...
**[04:01] ---**
I don't have any millet dumplings
or any skilled retainers.
**[04:05] ---**
All I can do is stand by
and watch as humanity is destroyed.
**[04:11] ---**
Hmm?
**[04:12] ---**
What could that be? This presence...
**[04:14] ---**
It seems more demons
have appeared somewhere.
**[04:18] ---**
This sensation...
**[04:20] ---**
I feel like I know it
from somewhere.
**[04:24] ---**
The Grim Comet is roughly on
the opposite side of the Earth right now.
**[04:28] ---**
At this rate, it will probably
come crashing down tomorrow night.
**[04:33] ---**
There may not be much time left,
but until the Grim Comet falls...
**[04:39] ---**
I will protect this world.
**[04:42] ---**
THE BLACKOUT
**[04:43] ---**
"The Blackout."
**[05:00] ---**
There we go!
**[05:01] ---**
We've arrived in the Reiwa era!
**[05:03] ---**
TOWA HIGURASHI
SETSUNA
MOROHA
**[05:04] ---**
Ah, this smell sure brings back memories!
**[05:07] ---**
Something's not right!
I don't see the Grim Comet.
**[05:09] ---**
You're right. Why is that?
**[05:11] ---**
Does that mean it was nonsense?
**[05:14] ---**
Was it all a lie?
**[05:16] ---**
No way! That can't be!
**[05:18] ---**
Anyway, let's go to the school,
where Mr. Kirin is!
**[05:22] ---**
Towa?
**[05:24] ---**
MEI HIGURASHI
**[05:24] ---**
Towa!
**[05:26] ---**
Mei.
**[05:29] ---**
Towa!
**[05:30] ---**
Mei!
**[05:31] ---**
Welcome back, Towa!
**[05:34] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[05:35] ---**
I've been praying for you
and the others to come back
**[05:38] ---**
every day before I go to school!
**[05:41] ---**
Thank you, Mei!
**[05:43] ---**
Welcome back, Setsuna and Moroha!
**[05:46] ---**
Yeah. It's been a while, hasn't it?
**[05:49] ---**
Jeez!
**[05:50] ---**
You should have told me
you were all coming back!
**[05:53] ---**
Uh...
**[05:54] ---**
Oh, that's right!
Mom has a concert today.
**[05:58] ---**
Make sure you come watch it!
**[05:59] ---**
A concert?
**[06:01] ---**
Oh, my. Towa?
**[06:02] ---**
GRAMMY
GRANDPA
**[06:03] ---**
Grammy!
**[06:04] ---**
I see Setsuna and Moroha
have returned as well.
**[06:08] ---**
Oh. Well... you see...
**[06:10] ---**
I'm glad you all
seem to be in good health.
**[06:13] ---**
Welcome back, Moroha!
**[06:15] ---**
I'm back, Grandpa!
**[06:17] ---**
I'm so glad you're all back.
**[06:20] ---**
Grammy.
**[06:23] ---**
Ah, Buyo, how have you been?
**[06:26] ---**
Buyo was waiting for you too.
**[06:28] ---**
I see.
**[06:29] ---**
Thank you, Buyo.
**[06:30] ---**
HIGURASHI FAMILY'S CAT – BUYO
**[06:33] ---**
Wait! Sorry, but we don't
have time to be doing this!
**[06:36] ---**
Do you know what's happening
with the Grim Comet?
**[06:38] ---**
– Grim Comet?
– Grim Comet?
**[06:41] ---**
It resembles an ordinary comet.
**[06:43] ---**
Have you heard anything about it?
**[06:45] ---**
Let's see.
**[06:46] ---**
There wasn't anything
about such a thing on the news.
**[06:53] ---**
So does this mean it really was nonsense?
**[06:56] ---**
What's going on here?
**[06:58] ---**
Hey, what has Mr. Kirin been up to?
**[07:01] ---**
We've been seeing Mr. Kirin a lot lately.
**[07:05] ---**
He came by yesterday too.
**[07:07] ---**
He's always looking up at the Sacred Tree!
**[07:09] ---**
I see.
**[07:13] ---**
Anyway, let's go to the school!
**[07:17] ---**
We'll be going now.
**[07:18] ---**
Hold on just a second.
**[07:19] ---**
Setsuna! Moroha!
**[07:22] ---**
You'll stand out dressed like that.
**[07:27] ---**
Oh, my, those look good
on the both of you!
**[07:32] ---**
I feel like they stand out even more.
**[07:36] ---**
The coat that Setsuna is wearing
belongs to me,
**[07:38] ---**
but the winter coat Moroha is wearing
used to be Kagome's.
**[07:42] ---**
Wow.
**[07:44] ---**
Thank you!
**[07:46] ---**
Well, then, we'll be going now!
**[07:48] ---**
All right, see you later!
**[07:51] ---**
They just got back too.
**[07:52] ---**
They must have really wanted
to go to school.
**[08:03] ---**
Towa?
**[08:05] ---**
It's been quite a while, hasn't it?
**[08:07] ---**
Oh, g-good morning.
**[08:09] ---**
Oh, my God, she spoke to us!
**[08:12] ---**
That aside, Towa...
**[08:14] ---**
have you recovered from
your rheumatism and neuralgia?
**[08:17] ---**
It must be rough.
**[08:18] ---**
Hmm? What? Rheumatism? Neuralgia?
**[08:22] ---**
Um... oh. Yeah, I'm fine now.
**[08:25] ---**
Take care, Towa.
**[08:27] ---**
– Goodbye for now.
– Goodbye for now.
**[08:36] ---**
Mr. Kirin...
**[08:37] ---**
Huh?
**[08:38] ---**
Ah, why if it isn't Miss Higurashi.
**[08:40] ---**
It's been a while.
**[08:42] ---**
Your father told me
about your chronic pain.
**[08:45] ---**
Is it all better now?
**[08:46] ---**
Pain?
**[08:47] ---**
Oh... well...
**[08:49] ---**
Anyway, the Grim Comet!
**[08:52] ---**
How do you know about that?
**[08:54] ---**
Um, uh...
**[08:56] ---**
wh-what is it?
**[08:58] ---**
I see.
**[09:01] ---**
Now I see!
**[09:02] ---**
It all makes sense now.
**[09:04] ---**
So you were a half-demon, huh?
**[09:07] ---**
And it seems
that those other two are as well.
**[09:11] ---**
So you were the ones I sensed last night.
**[09:14] ---**
It seems I still have
much room for improvement.
**[09:17] ---**
That said...
**[09:18] ---**
I had no idea that I was
the foreign object in this world.
**[09:22] ---**
And that's why the Grim Comet
came to the world of Reiwa.
**[09:27] ---**
Mr. Kirin, where in the world
did the Grim Comet go?
**[09:32] ---**
Right now,
it's on the far side of the Earth.
**[09:34] ---**
You learned in school that
the Earth rotates, didn’t you, Miss Towa?
**[09:39] ---**
The only way we can see it today
is probably late at night.
**[09:44] ---**
So it wasn't nonsense after all.
**[09:46] ---**
In that case, we need to eliminate you!
**[09:54] ---**
I'm very sorry.
**[09:55] ---**
This all happened because of me.
**[09:58] ---**
– What?
– What?
**[09:59] ---**
Kirinmaru's right arm...
**[10:01] ---**
doesn't wish for the destruction
of this world?
**[10:04] ---**
I wouldn't think of it.
**[10:06] ---**
Indeed, I was Kirinmaru's right arm,
but I love this modern world
**[10:12] ---**
and especially the human world
more than anyone.
**[10:15] ---**
Humanity has built
such an advanced culture
**[10:18] ---**
which continues to develop.
**[10:20] ---**
They deserve to live on this Earth.
**[10:23] ---**
I have a hard time believing his story.
**[10:26] ---**
You can claim whatever you like.
**[10:32] ---**
Look out!
**[10:38] ---**
*Mr. Kirin really attacked a demon!*
**[10:41] ---**
Iron-Reaver, Soul-Stealer!
**[10:44] ---**
Scourge of Swallows!
**[10:51] ---**
I'm glad you girls were around to help.
**[10:54] ---**
As the Grim Comet draws near,
**[10:57] ---**
the number of demons that appear
in town increases with each coming day.
**[11:01] ---**
I suspect there may be demons
running wild somewhere in town today.
**[11:05] ---**
When the Grim Comet falls,
**[11:07] ---**
the town will be overflowing with demons
who will likely attack people!
**[11:11] ---**
I won't be able to do anything
about them at that point!
**[11:15] ---**
It's still too early to give up!
**[11:18] ---**
We're going to destroy the Grim Comet!
**[11:20] ---**
That's right!
**[11:21] ---**
That's why we went through the trouble
of traveling through time!
**[11:27] ---**
You're right.
**[11:28] ---**
We mustn't give up
until the very last moment.
**[11:31] ---**
Man proposes, God disposes.
**[11:35] ---**
Do your best and leave
the rest to Providence!
**[11:37] ---**
What an appropriate saying.
**[11:38] ---**
Then let's go destroy the Grim Comet!
**[11:41] ---**
You mustn't get too hasty!
**[11:44] ---**
None of you seem to be able to fly,
**[11:47] ---**
and I doubt you'll be able to reach it
with your weapons just yet.
**[11:50] ---**
So you'll have to do
what you can from the ground.
**[11:53] ---**
However, there's something
that concerns me.
**[11:58] ---**
Several fragments have fallen
from the Grim Comet.
**[12:02] ---**
I can sense their presence in this area.
**[12:04] ---**
DATES ADDED TO NATIONWIDE TOUR!
SPECIAL GUEST ANNOUNCED!
**[12:05] ---**
A big event is going
to be held here tonight.
**[12:10] ---**
If demons show up,
there will be many casualties.
**[12:14] ---**
Could you help me out?
**[12:16] ---**
Towa, look at this!
**[12:17] ---**
Oh!
**[12:18] ---**
DATES ADDED TO NATIONWIDE TOUR!
**[12:18] ---**
Mama Moe is having a concert?
**[12:20] ---**
GUEST VIOLINIST MOE HIGURASHI
**[12:21] ---**
Is this the concert
that Mei was talking about?
**[12:25] ---**
I want to reduce the number
of casualties as much as possible.
**[12:31] ---**
What should we do?
**[12:32] ---**
I don't think that Mr. Kirin is lying.
**[12:35] ---**
And besides, we can't leave
Mama Moe in any danger!
**[12:39] ---**
Shall we check
to make sure he's telling the truth?
**[12:42] ---**
Very well.
**[12:44] ---**
We shall assist you in slaying demons.
**[12:47] ---**
It looks like I've finally
come across my skilled retainers!
**[12:56] ---**
Here's the place Mr. Kirin mentioned.
**[13:00] ---**
I definitely sense demon energy.
**[13:02] ---**
There's something here!
**[13:03] ---**
Let's split up and find it!
**[13:16] ---**
– Towa!
– Towa!
**[13:18] ---**
So there are some after all.
**[13:20] ---**
It's just as Mr. Kirin said!
**[13:22] ---**
I guess that means he wasn't lying.
**[13:24] ---**
They've escaped into here, huh?
**[13:26] ---**
This is a problem.
**[13:27] ---**
I sense even stronger demon energy
than from those we saw just now!
**[13:31] ---**
We need to get that concert canceled!
**[13:34] ---**
Towa!
**[13:36] ---**
Mei?
**[13:37] ---**
Jeez, what are you doing here?
**[13:39] ---**
This isn't the back entrance.
**[13:42] ---**
Sorry. I got lost!
**[13:44] ---**
Setsuna and Moroha, did you come
to see my mom's concert too?
**[13:48] ---**
– Well... that's not exactly...
– Why we're here.
**[13:52] ---**
Come on! Hurry! Hurry!
Let's go to Mom's dressing room!
**[13:55] ---**
Whoa! Hold on, Mei!
**[14:03] ---**
6X'S DRESSING ROOM
**[14:12] ---**
What do you think?
**[14:12] ---**
MOE HIGURASHI
**[14:13] ---**
Good. Thank you.
**[14:15] ---**
Mom!
**[14:16] ---**
Oh, my!
**[14:18] ---**
I brought Towa and the others.
**[14:20] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:22] ---**
Is this your daughter, Ms. Higurashi?
**[14:24] ---**
That's right!
**[14:26] ---**
Wow, it's Julian.
**[14:29] ---**
Hello.
**[14:30] ---**
It's really the members of 6x's!
**[14:33] ---**
The three of you really came back!
**[14:36] ---**
Yeah, but we have a bit of an emergency.
**[14:39] ---**
Welcome back, Towa!
**[14:41] ---**
Have all of you been doing well?
**[14:43] ---**
Yeah!
**[14:44] ---**
Setsuna, have you
been keeping up with the violin?
**[14:46] ---**
Yes.
**[14:47] ---**
I'm so glad.
**[14:49] ---**
Please, we need you to stop this concert!
**[14:52] ---**
What's this all of a sudden?
**[14:54] ---**
Demons might show up at this venue!
**[14:57] ---**
Oh, my. I'm surprised
you know all about it.
**[15:00] ---**
Huh?
**[15:01] ---**
Ms. Higurashi, it's time for rehearsal.
**[15:04] ---**
Coming!
**[15:05] ---**
We're counting on you!
**[15:07] ---**
Sorry, Towa. I've got rehearsal,
so we'll discuss this later!
**[15:11] ---**
Oh, hold on.
**[15:14] ---**
I see.
**[15:16] ---**
In that case, we just
have to protect everyone ourselves.
**[15:20] ---**
*Okay!*
**[15:24] ---**
*Right arm! My right arm!*
**[15:43] ---**
They're here!
**[15:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:46] ---**
Above us!
**[16:20] ---**
There's no end to them!
**[16:22] ---**
In fact, they seem
like they're multiplying!
**[16:24] ---**
I guess we have to destroy
the Grim Comet after all.
**[16:29] ---**
Now I see.
**[16:31] ---**
The Spider Heads are simple pawns.
**[16:34] ---**
Their ringleader is within the venue.
**[16:37] ---**
Honestly, this is so troublesome.
**[16:44] ---**
*My right arm...*
**[16:46] ---**
*lead me to that world!*
**[16:49] ---**
That voice again.
**[16:51] ---**
*Can't you hear me, Osamu Kirin?*
**[16:53] ---**
*I'm the one who
will strike down the Grim Comet!*
**[16:57] ---**
If I lead you here,
**[16:58] ---**
you might be able
to destroy the Grim Comet...
**[17:03] ---**
but I can't allow you to bring about
the Degenerate Age in your world!
**[17:08] ---**
KIRINMARU’S DAUGHTER – RION
**[17:10] ---**
BEAST KING – KIRINMARU
**[17:13] ---**
My right arm...
**[17:15] ---**
why won't you obey me?
**[17:20] ---**
Riku.
**[17:21] ---**
Lord Kirinmaru...
**[17:23] ---**
I cannot overlook the fact that
you're treating Lady Towa as a vessel.
**[17:26] ---**
RIKU
**[17:29] ---**
I'll be the one
who will look after Miss Rion!
**[17:35] ---**
I shall borrow Madam's powers!
**[17:38] ---**
What?
**[17:42] ---**
Rion!
**[17:43] ---**
Forgive me!
**[17:45] ---**
Come back here, Riku!
**[17:49] ---**
Curses!
**[17:52] ---**
A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
**[17:57] ---**
A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
**[18:02] ---**
LOOK THIS WAY!
JULIAN
**[18:12] ---**
*Ms. Moe truly is impressive.*
**[18:14] ---**
GUEST VIOLINIST
MOE HIGURASHI
**[18:21] ---**
I knew they would appear!
**[18:24] ---**
*It looks so real.*
**[18:24] ---**
JULIAN
**[18:26] ---**
So you've appeared, ogre!
**[18:28] ---**
I'll slay you!
**[18:32] ---**
You can do it, Julian!
**[18:45] ---**
*Oh, my!*
**[18:46] ---**
*Towa and the others
are doing a surprise performance!*
**[18:50] ---**
*They should have told me!*
**[18:52] ---**
Towa!
**[18:55] ---**
People will get hurt if we do this here.
Let's go out back.
**[18:58] ---**
Cyclone Burst!
**[19:00] ---**
– Let's go!
– Right!
**[19:02] ---**
What... was that?
**[19:07] ---**
Wait, what?
Then what was that thing before?
**[19:14] ---**
Take this!
**[19:15] ---**
Sacred Arrow!
**[19:18] ---**
That Sacred Arrow...
**[19:19] ---**
Is she descended
from that legendary priestess?
**[19:25] ---**
That naginata hides
incredible power, doesn't it?
**[19:29] ---**
Zanseiken!
**[19:38] ---**
Towa! Don't use the Zanseiken!
**[19:41] ---**
Using it only a little
should be all right!
**[19:43] ---**
Th-That's the Zanseiken!
**[19:46] ---**
Was it the Kyuyokon
that absorbed that demon power?
**[19:49] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[19:51] ---**
I've gained some formidable retainers!
**[19:56] ---**
Thank you for coming!
**[20:04] ---**
Thank you, 6x's!
**[20:08] ---**
Wonderful!
**[20:09] ---**
Thanks to all of you,
**[20:11] ---**
the demon energy in this area
has disappeared.
**[20:14] ---**
What about the Grim Comet?
**[20:15] ---**
It's visible now.
**[20:17] ---**
– What?
– What?
**[20:25] ---**
– What?
– What?
**[20:25] ---**
Hold on a second!
That's the Grim Comet?
**[20:29] ---**
It's massive!
**[20:30] ---**
That thing is definitely bad news!
**[20:34] ---**
Don't you think it's odd, Towa?
**[20:36] ---**
What?
**[20:37] ---**
Something that vile is approaching.
**[20:40] ---**
So why are the people
of this time period acting so calm?
**[20:46] ---**
You're right.
That certainly is strange, isn't it?
**[20:49] ---**
Of course they're calm.
**[20:51] ---**
Normal humans can't see it.
**[20:55] ---**
If we don't destroy the Grim Comet,
