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. Keep your guard up. You can never be too careful.
Copy !req
57. Please, this body will make things all too easy.
Copy !req
58. Here we are. The Old I Watergate.
Copy !req
59. Look over there.
Copy !req
60. Huh?
Copy !req
61. Wait, Kei-kun, I feel like
we've seen her somewhere before.
Copy !req
62. Huh?
Copy !req
63. Pretty sure she was on TV.
Copy !req
64. She was the host of that old ghost show
we used to watch!
Copy !req
65. You're right!
Copy !req
66. TUG
Copy !req
67. TUG
Copy !req
68. TUG
Copy !req
69. TUG
Copy !req
70. TUG
Copy !req
71. TUG
Copy !req
72. Old ghost show? Tell me about her.
Copy !req
73. Hold on, lemme look it up!
Copy !req
74. TUG
Copy !req
75. TUG
Copy !req
76. TUG
Copy !req
77. Let's see... Here we are.
Copy !req
78. Spiritual Researcher Nagiko Shami.
Copy !req
79. She hosted a ghost show about ten years ago,
where she'd do readings at haunted places,
Copy !req
80. or make bonfires out of ghostly photos.
Copy !req
81. She's made a comeback in online videos recently.
Copy !req
82. She went viral after exorcising a taxi driver
who was acting weird at the Z Cemetery.
Copy !req
83. The Z Cemetery? That's an A-Rank haunt on our list.
Copy !req
84. She beat us to it!
Copy !req
85. Looks like she beat us to another one, too.
Copy !req
86. She also went to the Old K Tunnel
and made it back alive.
Copy !req
87. That one's an S-Rank.
Copy !req
88. This one here's an S-Rank, too, right?
Copy !req
89. Hey, lady.
Copy !req
90. I heard you're a super powerful medium. Prove it.
Copy !req
91. The hell is wrong with this kid?
Copy !req
92. WHAT?
Copy !req
93. Oh my God, Yayoi-chan!
Copy !req
94. You can't just walk up to someone and ask them that!
Copy !req
95. I'm so sorry, she just got excited
after hearing you were famous!
Copy !req
96. Wh... whoa.
Copy !req
97. For a second there, I sensed something horrible...
Copy !req
98. Did you come here knowing what this place is?
Copy !req
99. Yup.
Copy !req
100. If you're aware of the dangers, then follow me.
Copy !req
101. Are you sure?
Copy !req
102. Just be sure to stay real close.
Copy !req
103. We will!
Copy !req
104. I'm Keitaro Gentoga. This is Eiko Hozuki.
Copy !req
105. Nice to meet you!
Copy !req
106. And this here is Yayoi-chan, her cousin.
Copy !req
107. Shami-san, did you come here for an exorcism?
Copy !req
108. Yeah, you could say that.
Copy !req
109. Then for safety's sake, let me share with you
the story of what makes this place haunted.
Copy !req
110. Let's hear it.
Copy !req
111. Here's what I've got.
Copy !req
112. The Old I Watergate,
known locally as the "Red Watergate."
Copy !req
113. After a 1924 flood ravaged the area,
they built gates to control the flow of riverwater.
Copy !req
114. Though a newly-built facility has rended this one defunct,
Copy !req
115. the old watergate has been kept preserved
as a registered historic landmark.
Copy !req
116. During the day, people use the area
around the watergate for recreation,
Copy !req
117. but when night falls, the ghosts come out,
or so say the many who've seen them here.
Copy !req
118. People have claimed it was haunted
since as early as the 1960s.
Copy !req
119. Here's what some people have seen:
Copy !req
120. Ghosts lying in the same place
where their bodies were found.
Copy !req
121. Dark, humanoid shadows on the water.
Copy !req
122. Dismembered limbs floating on the surface.
Copy !req
123. A female spirit, standing atop the watergate.
Copy !req
124. An increased rate of suicide by hanging
in the years since the watergate was built.
Copy !req
125. A jizo statue erected to memorialize
those who drowned was found beheaded.
Copy !req
126. And that's where this list ends.
Copy !req
127. Yayoi-chan, I've been wondering...
Copy !req
128. I'm just not getting the same overwhelming feeling
I got at all the other places.
Copy !req
129. Let your guard down if you want, but you'll regret it.
Copy !req
130. Yup.
Copy !req
131. Huh?
Copy !req
132. There's a ton of weak spirits here.
Copy !req
133. We won't know more unless we check it out. Let's go.
Copy !req
134. Yup.
Copy !req
135. I gotta get home.
Copy !req
136. Me, too.
Copy !req
137. Let's go!
Copy !req
138. Let's hang out here again tomorrow!
Copy !req
139. Yeah!
Copy !req
140. What're you having for dinner?
Copy !req
141. Oh...
Copy !req
142. One's still there. Shouldn't he head home, too?
Copy !req
143. but when night falls, the ghosts come out.
Copy !req
144. Hey, kiddo. It's getting dark.
You should get home before it gets unsafe.
Copy !req
145. Whoa, our social recluse Keitaro is going for it!
Copy !req
146. Aww!
Copy !req
147. I bet your mom's got something yummy
ready for you at home.
Copy !req
148. You want me to look?
Copy !req
149. I live with my dad.
Copy !req
150. I don't have a mom.
Copy !req
151. He doesn't have a mom...
Copy !req
152. Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed.
Copy !req
153. You're quite the artist!
Copy !req
154. Dad brought home a mom.
Copy !req
155. He said I hope you can be friends.
Copy !req
156. We are best friends.
Copy !req
157. Guess that means he wants me to keep reading.
Copy !req
158. I like my mom.
Copy !req
159. I don't want my dad to be sad
Copy !req
160. so we are best friends.
Copy !req
161. Oh, God... Is he being abused?
Copy !req
162. Huh?
Copy !req
163. Why's he over there?
Copy !req
164. I wish I was inside.
Copy !req
165. But we are best friends.
Copy !req
166. My mom said I live on the balcony now.
Copy !req
167. It's cold outside.
Copy !req
168. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
169. If this is really happening,
then someone needs to call Child Services.
Copy !req
170. I've gotta ask him!
Copy !req
171. Kei-kun, what's wrong?
Copy !req
172. Kei-kun?
Copy !req
173. Keitaro?
Copy !req
174. A spirit's got hold of him.
Copy !req
175. But everyone can see that kid there.
Copy !req
176. Is he a spirit?
Copy !req
177. He's human?
Copy !req
178. Hey, kiddo...
Copy !req
179. Meatballs?
Copy !req
180. Did someone pack that for you?
Copy !req
181. Is there another drawing that explains it?
Copy !req
182. They must be cold.
Copy !req
183. It's cold on the balcony.
Copy !req
184. My mom brought a man home.
Copy !req
185. They are naked.
Copy !req
186. My dad came home
Copy !req
187. and got in a fight with the man.
Copy !req
188. Dad isn't moving.
Copy !req
189. I don't know why.
Copy !req
190. The other man killed his father?
Copy !req
191. My dad came home
Copy !req
192. and got in a fight with the man.
Copy !req
193. Dad isn't moving.
Copy !req
194. I don't know why.
Copy !req
195. First child abuse, now murder...
Copy !req
196. My dad went in with them
Copy !req
197. but he's not there anymore.
Copy !req
198. The man and my mom
Copy !req
199. are playing in the bathroom.
Copy !req
200. I heard lots of crunching noises.
Copy !req
201. It's cold on the balcony.
Copy !req
202. The man and my mom are playing in the bathroom.
Copy !req
203. My dad went in with them but he's not there anymore.
Copy !req
204. I heard lots of crunching noises.
Copy !req
205. It's cold on the balcony.
Copy !req
206. They gave me a box
Copy !req
207. and said throw it away.
Copy !req
208. It was full of meatballs.
Copy !req
209. They gave me a box and said throw it away.
Copy !req
210. It was full of meatballs.
Copy !req
211. I was going to throw them away in the river,
Copy !req
212. but I was hungry,
Copy !req
213. and I remembered
Copy !req
214. the picnic lunches
Copy !req
215. my dad used to make.
Copy !req
216. I was going to throw
Copy !req
217. them away in the river,
Copy !req
218. but I was hungry, and I remembered
the picnic lunches my dad used to make.
Copy !req
219. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
220. Hold on.
Copy !req
221. Don't. That isn't pork or beef.
Copy !req
222. That's...
Copy !req
223. his dad.
Copy !req
224. I was going to throw
Copy !req
225. them away in the river,
Copy !req
226. but I was hungry,
Copy !req
227. and I remembered
Copy !req
228. the picnic lunches
Copy !req
229. my dad used to make.
Copy !req
230. So I secretly ate them.
Copy !req
231. They didn't taste good.
Copy !req
232. So I secretly ate them.
Copy !req
233. They didn't taste good.
Copy !req
234. My arm's moving on its own!
Copy !req
235. My mom stabbed the man.
Copy !req
236. I was scared so I ran away.
Copy !req
237. But she found me near the watergate.
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. Keitaro.
Copy !req
242. Help... Help me...
Copy !req
243. Keitaro!
Copy !req
244. An illusion? But it hurt so bad...
Copy !req
245. Where'd he go?
Copy !req
246. My mom stabbed me again and again.
Copy !req
247. It hurt a lot.
Copy !req
248. Everything was black.
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. Did this... really happen?
Copy !req
253. My mom stabbed me again and again.
Copy !req
254. It hurt a lot.
Copy !req
255. Everything was black.
Copy !req
256. My mom turned me
Copy !req
257. and the man into meatballs.
Copy !req
258. She threw them over
Copy !req
259. the watergate.
Copy !req
260. My mom turned me and the man into meatballs.
Copy !req
261. She threw them over the watergate.
Copy !req
262. Now I know what was in those meatballs I ate.
Copy !req
263. Now I know what was in those meatballs I ate.
Copy !req
264. Dad...
Copy !req
265. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
266. Huh? What's that screaming?
Copy !req
267. Probably something the boy is doing.
Copy !req
268. He disappeared right before the screaming started,
almost like he was just a mirage.
Copy !req
269. I thought he was human, but I was wrong.
Copy !req
270. He used the humidity and the reflecting light
to make him appear to be physically present.
Copy !req
271. It's powerful enough to show others illusions,
and mask its own presence.
Copy !req
272. Did he just want me to know his story?
Is that why he gave me this?
Copy !req
273. I hate my mom.
Copy !req
274. I hate my mom.
Copy !req
275. No...
Copy !req
276. He didn't just want me to know his story...
Copy !req
277. Look!
Copy !req
278. A woman? A spirit?
Copy !req
279. Wait...
Copy !req
280. Take my place...
Copy !req
281. Hang from the rope!
Copy !req
282. He's mine.
Copy !req
283. Wow...
Copy !req
284. Shami-san!
Copy !req
285. My mom...
Copy !req
286. is gone.
Copy !req
287. Found her.
Copy !req
288. My mom is everywhere.
Copy !req
289. Everyone looks like my mom now.
Copy !req
290. I don't like it.
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. I'll turn them all into meatballs.
Copy !req
295. I'll turn them all into meatballs.
Copy !req
296. Damn it, I just got this body!
Copy !req
297. I was totally wrong about everything.
Copy !req
298. My mom Meatballs My mom Meatballs
Copy !req
299. Meatballs My mom Meatballs My mom
Copy !req
300. My mom Meatballs My mom Meatballs
Copy !req
301. Meatballs My mom Meatballs My mom
Copy !req
302. My mom, meatballs. My mom, meatballs.
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. Meatballs My mom Meatballs My mom
Copy !req
307. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
308. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
309. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
310. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
311. Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs...
Copy !req
312. He doesn't want us to understand
or sympathize with his story.
Copy !req
313. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
314. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
315. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
316. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs
Copy !req
317. He wants...
Copy !req
318. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
319. to manifest pure, indiscriminate rage.
Copy !req
320. A horrific story, told through drawings in a sketchbook.
Copy !req
321. A never-ending lament.
Copy !req
322. The unheard wailing of a young boy
and his grudge tear into Yayoi, Keitaro, and Eiko.
Copy !req
