Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi 1x9

Directed by Atsushi Takahashi

Arumi has left Sasshi out of pure frustration; probably because she looks like a goblin and probably due to the fact that she's grown to over 50 feet high, but that's beside the point. Eutus, however, has agreed to help Sasshi get back home and reveals the truth to him, as well as their karmic connection. He decides to allow Sasshi to become a Onmyou apprentice, but the help he's going to receive from Eutus is going to be more than minimal.

1. Sasshi and Arumi had vowed to each other that they would get back to their own world this time.

2. Oh, but then, but then...

3. The place they arrived at was Tokimeki Campus Shopping Arcade.

4. It was a world overflowing with cuties, putting Sasshi's carnal desires into overdrive.

5. Of course, Arumi's the one who ultimately suffers.

6. At any rate, Arumi turned into a goblin for some reason.

7. No matter what she did, everything backfired on her.

8. I guess this was a world that was convenient only for Sasshi.

9. Finally, Arumi-chan lost it.

10. She just left Sasshi and wandered off somewhere.

11. And then, Eutus appeared.

12. "Stay at my place tonight." Huh?

13. Where's your place? Is it close by?

14. How many minutes 'till we get there?

15. Aren't we there yet?

16. Your house is awfully far away.

17. Oh, you've been walking?

18. What the heck is this? A movin' walkway?

19. People from Osaka always choose to walk, they can't help it.

20. This is not a moving walkway.

21. Here, regardless of whether you walk or run, the distance you traverse won't count.

22. We are currently traveling through a locus between karmic bodies whose fates are linked.

23. In this place, you can jump in any direction above the first seven dimensions, which includes time.

24. Did you get that?

25. Mister, I hate to say this,

26. I'm pretty far down on the stupid end, even for a grade school kid.

27. I'd forgotten.

28. In other words, no matter how far we go in space-time, the location will always remain Abeno.

29. Oh, I know about that.

30. We've jumped to so many different places, I'm practically sick of it.

31. Does that mean we're goin' to another weird shoppin' arcade?

32. In that case, take us somewhere sharp, kinda like you.

33. What is this?

34. A goblin! I've become a goblin!

35. It seems your fate is not linked to this world.

36. Fate?

37. That's right, fate.

38. Like saying, "It was fate" after an unexpected encounter.

39. Also, talk of marriage is called discussion of fate.

40. Oh, right.

41. The one with the Chinese character that looks a lot like "green", huh?

42. Just until the other day, I'd thought the phrase was "stinking green".

43. The world and the people in it are linked to one another by fate at all times.

44. If a soul's chain of fate to that world is broken, that individual has no choice but to become a goblin.

45. You are an existence that does not fundamentally belong in this world.

46. Don't worry.

47. You'll become human again when you go back to your own world.

48. I'm more of a city boy.

49. I suppose maybe it's only natural that my fate's not linked to this depressin' field.

50. Oh, I see! That's why Arumi turned into a goblin.

51. Arumi and pretty girl games have their fate linked about as much as an old lady from Osaka and a Catholic nunnery.

52. Let's get going before the sun sets.

53. We'll be traveling in three dimensions from here.

54. What? So, we're gonna walk in the end anyway? What a pain.

55. What the heck? If you've got a car, just say so already.

56. I'm a weak 21 st century kid, ya know.

57. Twenty-first century?

58. Whoa! It's a helicopter!

59. Hey, Mister, what's that?

60. Come on, Mister!

61. Mister!

62. Episode 9 It Cries! The Bush Warbler * Heiankyo

63. Do not look up!

64. It's a goblin! There's a goblin flying in the sky!

65. Hey, this wouldn't happen to be ancient Kyoto, would it?

66. Lookin' at it from above it had a sort of checker-board pattern.

67. I feel like maybe I'd seen it in a social studies book or somethin'.

68. Or was that Japanese class?

69. Good job figuring it out.

70. Historically speaking, we're in the Heian Era.

71. The 10th century city of Kyoto.

72. This place is not like the nonsensical shopping arcades that sprang forth from your mind.

73. As long as you make scientifically correct jumps, you can travel to proper worlds like this one.

74. Then, you mean this is the real world?

75. Real?

76. No, come on, hold on a second, Mister Eutus!

77. What's a helicopter doin' in the proper Heian Era?

78. That's right, you're a goblin.

79. This will be the first time I've ever invited a goblin into my home.

80. Uh, sorry about that.

81. Well, then, pardon me.

82. What's such a common livin' room doin' in the Heian Era?

83. There we go!

84. And he's a mega ordinary middle-aged guy too.

85. What? Oh, the bathroom's in the corner over there.

86. It's the type that spouts warm water.

87. Paper's a luxury item here.

88. Pitcher Takahashi throws!

89. Strike!

90. Mister, who the heck are ya?

91. I can understand that you can't buy toilet paper in the Heian Era,

92. but then, where're ya gettin' this electricity from?

93. Electricity?

94. The chi of yin, the chi of yang, spiritual chi, and the 24 seasons of the year.

95. If it's about chi, that is indeed my field of specialization.

96. Mister, didn't you say you were a scientist?

97. Yes, that's right, but in this era, we're not called that.

98. Here, we are called Onmyou mystics!

99. Onmyou mystics? You mean those Onmyou mystics?

100. The ones that used shikigami?

101. The ones that even the rulers of that time feared?

102. It was hugely popular among office ladies and stuff,

103. and there was some guy who got mega famous off it...

104. Yumemakura Baku?

105. Wrong!

106. Let's see, what was it?

107. I know! It's Abe, Abe...

108. Abeno Midosuji?

109. Hey, how does a grade school kid like you know such an old song?

110. Oh, I've got it.

111. Ashiya Douman!

112. Wrong! That's the bad guy!

113. The good guy! The good guy!

114. Oh, that's Abeno Seimei.

115. That's right.

116. So, do you get to meet such famous people here?

117. I'm Abeno Seimei!

118. Okay, never mind the jokes.

119. This is not a joke!

120. What? Then you're the real Abeno Seimei-san?

121. That's right.

122. Wow...

123. Aren't you a little more surprised?

124. Well, I thought it might be somethin' like that.

125. Then, what's with the non-Japanese soundin' name, "Eutus"?

126. Well, I'm sort of looking to break out into the worldwide scene.

127. Whoa, talk about shady.

128. That's a shikigami.

129. This thing?

130. Before, I was making full use of twelve of them for cleaning and laundry and such,

131. but they were really loud.

132. I shut off all the other ones and put them in storage in the shed under the bridge.

133. This is awfully different from the image I had.

134. I don't know what image you're talking about, but it has nothing to do with me.

135. All right! All right!

136. There's a place called Abeno Seimei Shrine in the neighborhood of our shoppin' arcade.

137. They hold a festival every summer,

138. but does that got anythin' to do with you?

139. Oh, that.

140. You said your name was Sasshi, right?

141. What's your last name?

142. Imamiya.

143. Your family run a bathhouse?

144. Yeah.

145. But it's been put out of business 'cause of the redevelopment, so there's no Turtle Bath anymore.

146. You sure know a lot, Mister.

147. What about the girl who was with you?

148. Asahina Arumi.

149. She's from Masayuki's family, isn't she?

150. Amazin'! I guess that's why you're an Onmyou mystic!

151. I had no idea you could figure out stuff like that too.

152. Masayuki's Arumi's grandpa.

153. No wonder.

154. You should exist outside the karmic body over here, and yet your fate is linked to mine.

155. I've been thinking about why that might be, now I know why.

156. What do you mean, "now I know why"?

157. You remember Mune-mune?

158. The young woman who's always chasing me around?

159. The giant-breasted girl with glasses, Mune-mune!

160. That's your granny, you know.

161. No way!

162. Grandma's name was Imamiya Mune...

163. I was born into a family that governed the entire Abeno area in the land of Settsu.

164. Since I was not in line to inherit the family estate,

165. I travelled to Kyoto at a young age,

166. and through an introduction on my mother's side,

167. I met the Kamo family and followed the path of Onmyou mysticism.

168. Of course, while you're training, you're not allowed to visit your homeland.

169. I built a reputation for myself as an Onmyou mystic, gained my independence, and came to have a house of my own.

170. It was only then that I first received permission to return home.

171. It had been a full 20 years since I had last been to Abeno

172. and there were few people left whom I knew,

173. but my childhood friend, Masayuki, gave me a warm welcome.

174. Masayuki had a wife.

175. Her name was Mune.

176. At first, my sense of obligation towards her husband, Masayuki,

177. led me to be the lady's confidant and I advised her on her troubles as an Onmyou mystic, but...

178. When a man and a woman's fates are linked,

179. no one can stop them from falling in love.

180. As my visits to her came and went, Mune and I eventually became very fond of each other.

181. There was a large laurel tree at their home.

182. I remember once when the tree was rustling in the breeze and for some reason, we weren't able to take our eyes off it,

183. so we both just stood there, gazing at it as if entranced.

184. Right around that time,

185. my name was beginning to be known in the lmperial Court.

186. I was to visit the lmperial Palace for the first time, so I had to return quickly to the capital.

187. I left without even having time to say goodbye to Mune,

188. but when I got there, I discovered that the stories circulating about me were all truly ridiculous.

189. Things like, I killed a frog with a leaf, or that I dueled a Buddhist priest from Harima.

190. They had absolutely nothing to do with the Onmyou way.

191. However, such legends were well received and I was swamped with work all the time as a result.

192. Matters concerning Abeno were slowly pushed aside, outside my field of awareness.

193. One day, on my way home,

194. a large laurel tree caught my eye.

195. "It's rustling, even though there's no breeze..."

196. I immediately got my things together and left for Abeno.

197. There, awaiting me, was the worst possible reality.

198. Having learned of the relationship between Mune and me,

199. Masayuki had gone mad with jealousy and killed Mune, then killed himself.

200. He had just passed away shortly before my arrival.

201. I cradled Masayuki's still-warm body against me and I was filled with remorse.

202. I decided that I would use all the powers available to me...

203. to bring Mune and Masayuki back into this world once again.

204. The Taizanfukun ceremony, a secret rite,

205. was said to revive the dead.

206. It was the culmination of the Onmyou Way, the ultimate technique.

207. I had never heard of an instance where it had been successful.

208. The purpose of Onmyou techniques was to twist the upcoming realities,

209. thereby avoiding bad events that were expected to happen.

210. This means that with each instance, you and the client leap from the world that event is happening in,

211. to a world where that event does not happen.

212. As long as you follow the proper and orderly linkage of fates, you cannot easily wander into nonsensical worlds.

213. But the Taizanfukun ceremony was an exception

214. and it fundamentally differed from those other spells.

215. Reviving the dead means nullifying what has already happened, in other words, cancelling the past

216. and for the parties concerned to go live in a completely new world.

217. This results in an enormous leap, which ignores the permutations of linked fates.

218. Had the ceremony worked as it was supposed to?

219. I found myself standing alone in a strange land.

220. Scenery I had never seen. Trains and buses coming and going.

221. These buildings...

222. Abeno, one thousand years later.

223. It took me a while to comprehend.

224. In that world, Masayuki was alive.

225. And so was Mune.

226. But unlike me, who had suddenly appeared,

227. those two existed as residents of this world.

228. I learned that Masayuki and Mune were not together in this world.

229. I thought that we might be able to find a better way this time.

230. I thought this might be a world where my wish would be fulfilled.

231. And so, you built the Abenobashi Shoppin' Arcade. I see.

232. Which means, you're the reason why Arumi and I are bein' put through this whole mess.

233. Hey! So, what're ya gonna do about it?

234. The reason? For what?

235. We've been dragged into these weird worlds and we've ended up pilotin' giant robots, gettin' chased by dinosaurs,

236. and we can't go home!

237. Those weird worlds based on your geeky hobbies seem to me like nothing more than you having fun.

238. Wrong!

239. You remember those bird and turtle signs in the four cardinal directions of the shoppin' arcade?

240. The last one of those, the pelican, fell with Masa-jii and broke!

241. And right after that, funky things started happenin' all over town!

242. I don't really get why my hobbies are the only ones that become real,

243. but anyway, we're trapped in these neat, but annoyin' worlds!

244. But scientifically speaking, that's impossible!

245. Then what is scientifically possible?

246. Those statues of the four godly beasts were simply there to activate the flow of chi.

247. If they broke, the chi in the town would only go stagnant and in fact, things would just stop happening.

248. If such an enormous leap were to happen,

249. it's possible to think that an echo of the Taizanfukun ceremony I conducted there somehow took effect.

250. See? It is your fault after all.

251. I swear!

252. Every year, ever since I was little, I've carried the portable shrine durin' the festival, worshippin' you, "O Seimei, O Seimei."

253. Now, I find out that you're just a stupid old guy, who makes trouble for other people.

254. It's so stupid and pitiful, I can't even cry or fart.

255. It's true, I'm the one who summoned Taizanfukun,

256. O Seimei, my butt!

257. but its power was activated because you, Sasshi,

258. wanted very badly to nullify someone's death!

259. Me?

260. Someone died?

261. Masa-jii...

262. So, that's it.

263. I never expected the fate linking Masayuki to me would curse you too.

264. That time, Masa-jii...

265. No, Masa-jii got hooked and saved, I'm sure of it.

266. The thing that fell was...

267. As long as you keep denying Masayuki's death,

268. you won't be able to return to your own world.

269. Then, if we go back, Masa-jii will...

270. Most certainly be dead.

271. Mister...

272. No, Seimei-sama, isn't there, isn't there any good way?

273. No.

274. I won't call you a stupid mister anymore, so please forgive me!

275. Isn't there, isn't there any good way to solve this?

276. No.

277. Scientifically speaking, there's none at all.

278. Don't be so heartless!

279. This heartlessness is due to a logical conclusion!

280. Abeno

281. Custodian's Room

282. So long, Pops!

283. Man, I'm so bored.

284. Hey, I didn't notice before. My horn's gone.

285. I suppose being able to cry is a child's prerogative.

286. How about becoming an Onmyou mystic?

287. Learn how the world works, gain lots of knowledge, stand at the pinnacle of scholarly achievements,

288. and then you can decide for yourself.

289. Should you return to your original world? Or not?

290. Asahina Arumi's fate will also be in your hands.

291. Both Arumi and Masa-jii?

292. I'm going to decide for them?

293. Mister, you said I've got potential, right?

294. Yeah, that's exactly why you're in this current situation.

295. All right! I'll study!

296. I'll study harder than I've ever studied, become an Onmyou mystic and take Arumi to the best possible world there is!

297. Good!

298. But Arumi's kinda impatient.

299. I doubt she'd wait for me for 20 years...

300. Custodian's Room

301. You are the perpetrator!

302. Number 2!

303. Namiko-san!

304. The TV here doesn't have anythin' good on.

305. Oh, damn it!

306. Sasshi, you idiot!

307. Master, good mornin'.

308. Master, I had no idea you dressed like that too, my lord, Sir.

309. I'll have you know,

310. adults don't get to goof off all the time like you kids.

311. I've got work to do.

312. I've got some goblins to banish.

313. Since you're a goblin, go off somewhere and make a geekland or something.

314. Hey! You said you'd teach me the science and techniques of the Onmyou Way!

315. I don't know!

316. Thinking about what you really are, it's suddenly sounds absurd!

317. What I really am?

318. You mean, 'cause I'm a goblin?

319. What's this?

320. Introduction to the Onmyou Way

321. It's a trial kit for Onmyou mystic training.

322. Read the instructional materials in there and study.

323. What's up with that? That's like totally cuttin' corners!

324. C'mon, Mister, teach me properly! C'mon, c'mon!

325. Who cares?

326. Just hurry up and get out of my sight!

327. To be continued

328. Next time on...

329. You shut yer yap!

330. Having spent some time being bored and with few appearances,

331. Arumi seizes the right to do the next episode preview from Sasshi.

332. Does the Onmyou mystic training that Sasshi is about to embark on

333. only exist in order to appease Arumi?

334. Arumi, no fair! The preview is my...

335. Sit still, why don't ya?

336. Arumi once again recovers the right to the preview, and she finds herself in a new world.

337. Its utter stupidity causes the girl to abandon all hope.

338. Next time, "Fluffy, Bubbly, Abenobashi Fairy Tale Shopping Arcade!"

339. Next Time Fluffy, Bubbly Abenobashi * Fairy Tale Shopping Arcade

340. All right, next time, it's going to be a circus! A circus!

341. Uh, it ain't a circus.
