1. This is the knife.
Copy !req
2. Could you tell me a bit more about it?
Copy !req
3. Sure. The curse cuts up anything that touches it.
Copy !req
4. The old man who owned it touched it by accident,
Copy !req
5. and it cut his arm straight in half,
all the way up to his torso.
Copy !req
6. His family brought him and the knife here for the service,
Copy !req
7. but honestly, I can't figure this thing out.
Copy !req
8. You're a fellow practicioner.
Copy !req
9. Think you can handle it, Oswald?
Copy !req
10. I'll give it a shot.
Copy !req
11. But I hope this means if you hear anything about that
mummified left arm of ours, you'll contact me right away.
Copy !req
12. Yeah, of course.
Copy !req
13. One question before you start, though.
Copy !req
14. Go on.
Copy !req
15. Who's this lady?
Copy !req
16. A friend of mine who's also a practicioner.
She's quite famous, too.
Copy !req
17. She's famous?
Copy !req
18. Why don't we have her handle this matter, then?
Copy !req
19. Shami-san?
Copy !req
20. Already on it.
Copy !req
21. That'll do it.
Copy !req
22. Too dull to gut even a fish, now.
Copy !req
23. You can touch it now... Holy shit.
Copy !req
24. I told you.
Copy !req
25. Right, we'd better be off.
Copy !req
26. Let us know if you hear anything.
Copy !req
27. H-hold on a sec!
Copy !req
28. You of all people should be fine, but I gotta ask.
Copy !req
29. You haven't been replaced, have you?
Copy !req
30. Would you like me to tell you where to find
every last nudie mag you hid in the temple?
Copy !req
31. Yeah, you're fine...
Copy !req
32. It's good you checked. Those of us with the gift
are in the most danger of being cursed.
Copy !req
33. But this is why I'm always very careful,
and in constant contact with everyone.
Copy !req
34. Rest assured, it won't happen to me.
Copy !req
35. It's been happening a lot recently.
Copy !req
36. One of my buds got swapped the other day.
Copy !req
37. We took care of it, but we never found his spirit,
so he ended up dead.
Copy !req
38. Don't worry. I never travel alone,
so I've always got a buddy to protect me!
Copy !req
39. W-well, good.
Copy !req
40. You hear that, Shami-san? People keep getting replaced.
Copy !req
41. Sounds like it.
Copy !req
42. They've got no idea spirits
can read their memories once they're inside.
Copy !req
43. They can talk their way through any conversation.
Copy !req
44. Unless they really screw up, no one will notice.
Copy !req
45. And these spirits can even use the powers
the person once possessed.
Copy !req
46. And the more powerful they are,
the more likely they'll walk themselves into trouble.
Copy !req
47. With their enemies' abilities at their disposal,
Copy !req
48. it's all too easy for those evil spirits
to find new bodies for their friends to take over.
Copy !req
49. Speaking of which, how are you enjoying that new body?
Copy !req
50. You saw what I did. It's plenty powerful.
Copy !req
51. Now I can give you and that old man Nankobo
a run for your money.
Copy !req
52. That's wonderful.
Copy !req
53. I'll keep asking around for leads.
Copy !req
54. Where are you headed?
Copy !req
55. I'm gonna get this set up.
Copy !req
56. ANIMOSITY WARD
Copy !req
57. Keep your guard up. You can never be too careful.
Copy !req
58. Please, this body will make things all too easy.
Copy !req
59. Here we are. The Old I Watergate.
Copy !req
60. Look over there.
Copy !req
61. Huh?
Copy !req
62. Wait, Kei-kun, I feel like
we've seen her somewhere before.
Copy !req
63. Huh?
Copy !req
64. Pretty sure she was on TV.
Copy !req
65. She was the host of that old ghost show
we used to watch!
Copy !req
66. You're right!
Copy !req
67. TUG
Copy !req
68. TUG
Copy !req
69. TUG
Copy !req
70. TUG
Copy !req
71. TUG
Copy !req
72. TUG
Copy !req
73. Old ghost show? Tell me about her.
Copy !req
74. Hold on, lemme look it up!
Copy !req
75. TUG
Copy !req
76. TUG
Copy !req
77. TUG
Copy !req
78. Let's see... Here we are.
Copy !req
79. MEET THE INCREDIBLE SPIRITUALIST
Copy !req
80. NAGIKO SHAMI
Copy !req
81. Spiritual Researcher Nagiko Shami.
Copy !req
82. She hosted a ghost show about ten years ago,
where she'd do readings at haunted places,
Copy !req
83. or make bonfires out of ghostly photos.
Copy !req
84. She's made a comeback in online videos recently.
Copy !req
85. She went viral after exorcising a taxi driver
who was acting weird at the Z Cemetery.
Copy !req
86. The Z Cemetery? That's an A-Rank haunt on our list.
Copy !req
87. She beat us to it!
Copy !req
88. Looks like she beat us to another one, too.
Copy !req
89. She also went to the Old K Tunnel
and made it back alive.
Copy !req
90. That one's an S-Rank.
Copy !req
91. This one here's an S-Rank, too, right?
Copy !req
92. Hey, lady.
Copy !req
93. I heard you're a super powerful medium. Prove it.
Copy !req
94. The hell is wrong with this kid?
Copy !req
95. WHAT?
Copy !req
96. Oh my God, Yayoi-chan!
Copy !req
97. You can't just walk up to someone and ask them that!
Copy !req
98. I'm so sorry, she just got excited
after hearing you were famous!
Copy !req
99. Wh... whoa.
Copy !req
100. For a second there, I sensed something horrible...
Copy !req
101. Did you come here knowing what this place is?
Copy !req
102. Yup.
Copy !req
103. If you're aware of the dangers, then follow me.
Copy !req
104. Are you sure?
Copy !req
105. Just be sure to stay real close.
Copy !req
106. We will!
Copy !req
107. I'm Keitaro Gentoga. This is Eiko Hozuki.
Copy !req
108. Nice to meet you!
Copy !req
109. And this here is Yayoi-chan, her cousin.
Copy !req
110. Shami-san, did you come here for an exorcism?
Copy !req
111. Yeah, you could say that.
Copy !req
112. Then for safety's sake, let me share with you
the story of what makes this place haunted.
Copy !req
113. Let's hear it.
Copy !req
114. Here's what I've got.
Copy !req
115. The Old I Watergate,
known locally as the "Red Watergate."
Copy !req
116. After a 1924 flood ravaged the area,
they built gates to control the flow of riverwater.
Copy !req
117. Though a newly-built facility has rended this one defunct,
Copy !req
118. the old watergate has been kept preserved
as a registered historic landmark.
Copy !req
119. During the day, people use the area
around the watergate for recreation,
Copy !req
120. but when night falls, the ghosts come out,
or so say the many who've seen them here.
Copy !req
121. People have claimed it was haunted
since as early as the 1960s.
Copy !req
122. Here's what some people have seen:
Copy !req
123. Ghosts lying in the same place
where their bodies were found.
Copy !req
124. Dark, humanoid shadows on the water.
Copy !req
125. Dismembered limbs floating on the surface.
Copy !req
126. A female spirit, standing atop the watergate.
Copy !req
127. An increased rate of suicide by hanging
in the years since the watergate was built.
Copy !req
128. A jizo statue erected to memorialize
those who drowned was found beheaded.
Copy !req
129. And that's where this list ends.
Copy !req
130. Yayoi-chan, I've been wondering...
Copy !req
131. I'm just not getting the same overwhelming feeling
I got at all the other places.
Copy !req
132. Let your guard down if you want, but you'll regret it.
Copy !req
133. Yup.
Copy !req
134. Huh?
Copy !req
135. There's a ton of weak spirits here.
Copy !req
136. We won't know more unless we check it out. Let's go.
Copy !req
137. Yup.
Copy !req
138. I gotta get home.
Copy !req
139. Me, too.
Copy !req
140. Let's go!
Copy !req
141. Let's hang out here again tomorrow!
Copy !req
142. Yeah!
Copy !req
143. What're you having for dinner?
Copy !req
144. Oh...
Copy !req
145. One's still there. Shouldn't he head home, too?
Copy !req
146. but when night falls, the ghosts come out.
Copy !req
147. Hey, kiddo. It's getting dark.
You should get home before it gets unsafe.
Copy !req
148. Whoa, our social recluse Keitaro is going for it!
Copy !req
149. Aww!
Copy !req
150. I bet your mom's got something yummy
ready for you at home.
Copy !req
151. You want me to look?
Copy !req
152. I live with my dad.
Copy !req
153. I don't have a mom.
Copy !req
154. He doesn't have a mom...
Copy !req
155. Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed.
Copy !req
156. You're quite the artist!
Copy !req
157. Dad brought home a mom.
Copy !req
158. He said I hope you can be friends.
Copy !req
159. We are best friends.
Copy !req
160. Guess that means he wants me to keep reading.
Copy !req
161. I like my mom.
Copy !req
162. I don't want my dad to be sad
Copy !req
163. so we are best friends.
Copy !req
164. Oh, God... Is he being abused?
Copy !req
165. Huh?
Copy !req
166. Why's he over there?
Copy !req
167. I wish I was inside.
Copy !req
168. But we are best friends.
Copy !req
169. My mom said I live on the balcony now.
Copy !req
170. It's cold outside.
Copy !req
171. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
172. If this is really happening,
then someone needs to call Child Services.
Copy !req
173. I've gotta ask him!
Copy !req
174. Kei-kun, what's wrong?
Copy !req
175. Kei-kun?
Copy !req
176. Keitaro?
Copy !req
177. A spirit's got hold of him.
Copy !req
178. But everyone can see that kid there.
Copy !req
179. Is he a spirit?
Copy !req
180. He's human?
Copy !req
181. Hey, kiddo...
Copy !req
182. Meatballs?
Copy !req
183. Did someone pack that for you?
Copy !req
184. Is there another drawing that explains it?
Copy !req
185. They must be cold.
Copy !req
186. It's cold on the balcony.
Copy !req
187. My mom brought a man home.
Copy !req
188. They are naked.
Copy !req
189. My dad came home
Copy !req
190. and got in a fight with the man.
Copy !req
191. Dad isn't moving.
Copy !req
192. I don't know why.
Copy !req
193. The other man killed his father?
Copy !req
194. My dad came home
Copy !req
195. and got in a fight with the man.
Copy !req
196. Dad isn't moving.
Copy !req
197. I don't know why.
Copy !req
198. First child abuse, now murder...
Copy !req
199. My dad went in with them
Copy !req
200. but he's not there anymore.
Copy !req
201. The man and my mom
Copy !req
202. are playing in the bathroom.
Copy !req
203. I heard lots of crunching noises.
Copy !req
204. It's cold on the balcony.
Copy !req
205. The man and my mom are playing in the bathroom.
Copy !req
206. My dad went in with them but he's not there anymore.
Copy !req
207. I heard lots of crunching noises.
Copy !req
208. It's cold on the balcony.
Copy !req
209. They gave me a box
Copy !req
210. and said throw it away.
Copy !req
211. It was full of meatballs.
Copy !req
212. They gave me a box and said throw it away.
Copy !req
213. It was full of meatballs.
Copy !req
214. I was going to throw them away in the river,
Copy !req
215. but I was hungry,
Copy !req
216. and I remembered
Copy !req
217. the picnic lunches
Copy !req
218. my dad used to make.
Copy !req
219. I was going to throw
Copy !req
220. them away in the river,
Copy !req
221. but I was hungry, and I remembered
the picnic lunches my dad used to make.
Copy !req
222. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
223. Hold on.
Copy !req
224. Don't. That isn't pork or beef.
Copy !req
225. That's...
Copy !req
226. his dad.
Copy !req
227. I was going to throw
Copy !req
228. them away in the river,
Copy !req
229. but I was hungry,
Copy !req
230. and I remembered
Copy !req
231. the picnic lunches
Copy !req
232. my dad used to make.
Copy !req
233. So I secretly ate them.
Copy !req
234. They didn't taste good.
Copy !req
235. So I secretly ate them.
Copy !req
236. They didn't taste good.
Copy !req
237. My arm's moving on its own!
Copy !req
238. My mom stabbed the man.
Copy !req
239. I was scared so I ran away.
Copy !req
240. But she found me near the watergate.
Copy !req
241. My mom stabbed the man.
Copy !req
242. I was scared so I ran away.
Copy !req
243. But she found me near the watergate.
Copy !req
244. Keitaro.
Copy !req
245. Help... Help me...
Copy !req
246. Keitaro!
Copy !req
247. An illusion? But it hurt so bad...
Copy !req
248. Where'd he go?
Copy !req
249. My mom stabbed me again and again.
Copy !req
250. It hurt a lot.
Copy !req
251. Everything was black.
Copy !req
252. My mom stabbed me again and again.
Copy !req
253. It hurt a lot.
Copy !req
254. Everything was black.
Copy !req
255. Did this... really happen?
Copy !req
256. My mom stabbed me again and again.
Copy !req
257. It hurt a lot.
Copy !req
258. Everything was black.
Copy !req
259. My mom turned me
Copy !req
260. and the man into meatballs.
Copy !req
261. She threw them over
Copy !req
262. the watergate.
Copy !req
263. My mom turned me and the man into meatballs.
Copy !req
264. She threw them over the watergate.
Copy !req
265. Now I know what was in those meatballs I ate.
Copy !req
266. Now I know what was in those meatballs I ate.
Copy !req
267. Dad...
Copy !req
268. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
269. Huh? What's that screaming?
Copy !req
270. Probably something the boy is doing.
Copy !req
271. He disappeared right before the screaming started,
almost like he was just a mirage.
Copy !req
272. I thought he was human, but I was wrong.
Copy !req
273. He used the humidity and the reflecting light
to make him appear to be physically present.
Copy !req
274. It's powerful enough to show others illusions,
and mask its own presence.
Copy !req
275. Did he just want me to know his story?
Is that why he gave me this?
Copy !req
276. I hate my mom.
Copy !req
277. I hate my mom.
Copy !req
278. No...
Copy !req
279. He didn't just want me to know his story...
Copy !req
280. Look!
Copy !req
281. A woman? A spirit?
Copy !req
282. Wait...
Copy !req
283. Take my place...
Copy !req
284. Hang from the rope!
Copy !req
285. He's mine.
Copy !req
286. Wow...
Copy !req
287. Shami-san!
Copy !req
288. My mom...
Copy !req
289. is gone.
Copy !req
290. Found her.
Copy !req
291. My mom is everywhere.
Copy !req
292. Everyone looks like my mom now.
Copy !req
293. I don't like it.
Copy !req
294. My mom is everywhere.
Copy !req
295. Everyone looks like my mom now.
Copy !req
296. I don't like it.
Copy !req
297. I'll turn them all into meatballs.
Copy !req
298. I'll turn them all into meatballs.
Copy !req
299. Damn it, I just got this body!
Copy !req
300. I was totally wrong about everything.
Copy !req
301. My mom Meatballs My mom Meatballs
Copy !req
302. Meatballs My mom Meatballs My mom
Copy !req
303. My mom Meatballs My mom Meatballs
Copy !req
304. Meatballs My mom Meatballs My mom
Copy !req
305. My mom, meatballs. My mom, meatballs.
Copy !req
306. My mom Meatballs My mom Meatballs
Copy !req
307. Meatballs My mom Meatballs My mom
Copy !req
308. My mom Meatballs My mom Meatballs
Copy !req
309. Meatballs My mom Meatballs My mom
Copy !req
310. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
311. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
312. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
313. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
314. Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs...
Copy !req
315. He doesn't want us to understand
or sympathize with his story.
Copy !req
316. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
317. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
318. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
319. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
320. He wants...
Copy !req
321. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
322. to manifest pure, indiscriminate rage.
Copy !req
323. A horrific story, told through drawings in a sketchbook.
Copy !req
324. A never-ending lament.
Copy !req
325. The unheard wailing of a young boy
and his grudge tear into Yayoi, Keitaro, and Eiko.
Copy !req
