1. Dang... I finally climbed up the ladder
enough to get a TV appearance.
Copy !req
2. These greenrooms sure do
make you restless, though.
Copy !req
3. Reigen-san, you're up.
Copy !req
4. All right. Let's do this.
Copy !req
5. Mob Psycho
Copy !req
6. Oh, this must be it.
Jodo-sama's return to TV.
Copy !req
7. R-Reigen?
Copy !req
8. What the heck is he doing?
Copy !req
9. And now... Will we be able to save the poor,
Copy !req
10. unfortunate young man that's been possessed?
Copy !req
11. Let's introduce our two powerful helpers!
Copy !req
12. The first one needs no introduction.
Copy !req
13. The president of the Rising Sun
Spiritual Union, Jodo Kirin-sensei!
Copy !req
14. He's solved devastating problems for many.
He's the best of the best!
Copy !req
15. The other is making his
first appearance on TV.
Copy !req
16. Reigen Arataka-sensei!
Copy !req
17. Why, hello there. I'm Reigen Arataka.
Copy !req
18. You can find my business in Seasoning City.
Copy !req
19. What are some of your accomplishments up till now, Reigen-sensei?
Copy !req
20. It's hard to choose just one...
Copy !req
21. Oh, but I did defeat the Dragger.
Copy !req
22. Huh? That's awesome.
Copy !req
23. Looks like we can expect great things.
Copy !req
24. And now, let's bring out the boy.
Copy !req
25. To be extra careful,
since he may freak out,
Copy !req
26. we have him securely bound.
Copy !req
27. What do you think?
Copy !req
28. I see...
Copy !req
29. The footage we just watched
Copy !req
30. mentioned that he was possessed by a fox
after playing the Kokkuri-san game.
Copy !req
31. But to be more precise,
Copy !req
32. it's a ghost of a Rüppell's fox,
which are usually found in North Africa.
Copy !req
33. What's this? He was able to precisely
deduce the kind of ghost it is!
Copy !req
34. What do you think, Jodo-sensei?
Copy !req
35. The poor child...
being strapped down like that.
Copy !req
36. I'm hoping we don't have to keep
those things on him much longer.
Copy !req
37. I see. So we all feel the same.
Copy !req
38. And now, we're finally going to
witness the public exorcism!
Copy !req
39. But before that,
a word from our sponsors.
Copy !req
40. When we're back on air, we're going
to have Jodo-sensei do the exorcism.
Copy !req
41. Actually, why don't we have
Reigen-kun give it a shot?
Copy !req
42. Wha—
Copy !req
43. No one wants to see an old man.
Copy !req
44. Let's show the country how
a next-generation psychic does things.
Copy !req
45. Wasn't I just supposed to sit
there and comment today?
Copy !req
46. I'm trying to give you the spotlight here.
Copy !req
47. But if you're not up to the task, very well.
Copy !req
48. I'll do it, just as it says in the script.
Copy !req
49. The script?
Copy !req
50. I see!
Copy !req
51. One moment! I'll do it after all.
Copy !req
52. Okay... sure.
Copy !req
53. Reigen-sensei's going to
perform the exorcism this time.
Copy !req
54. We're coming back from commercial!
Copy !req
55. And it looks like we're just about
ready for this public exorcism.
Copy !req
56. The one performing this exorcism
Copy !req
57. is an exciting newcomer
who has had a meteoric rise!
Copy !req
58. Reigen Arataka-sensei! Are you ready?
Copy !req
59. Leave it to me! I, Reigen Arataka,
shall accept this job!
Copy !req
60. I shall successfully get rid of this spirit!
Copy !req
61. Live or not, this is still a TV show.
Copy !req
62. It's all a setup written by some scriptwriter.
Copy !req
63. If I do some random exorcism,
Copy !req
64. that'll quietly be the cue
for the boy to calm down
Copy !req
65. and the studio audience to clap.
Copy !req
66. Then the host will praise me,
and the show will be over.
Copy !req
67. Salt Splash!
Copy !req
68. And he just started throwing
a ton of salt outta nowhere!
Copy !req
69. The spirit possessing the boy
seems to be struggling in agony.
Copy !req
70. It's working! It's really working!
Copy !req
71. But it has never worked before!
Copy !req
72. This kid is acting!
Copy !req
73. Now that I know that,
I'm not pulling any punches!
Copy !req
74. Sorcery Crush Special!
Copy !req
75. Air Banishing Salt...
Copy !req
76. Punch!
Copy !req
77. A clean hit!
Copy !req
78. Well, it's been about 30 minutes
since the exorcism started,
Copy !req
79. but apparently, the spirit
just refuses to leave.
Copy !req
80. Talk about resilient.
Copy !req
81. Evil Spirit Detox Acupressure!
Copy !req
82. Holy Water Chop!
Copy !req
83. For real!
Copy !req
84. I've already used up all my special moves
Copy !req
85. and now I'm trying to keep
things going with ad-libs!
Copy !req
86. All right, let's have our
other psychic step in.
Copy !req
87. Huh?
Copy !req
88. Jodo Kirin-sensei, if you would.
Copy !req
89. W-Wait... Was I just an opening act?
Copy !req
90. Is he going to take all the glory?
Copy !req
91. Hang on a sec. I've almost got it.
Copy !req
92. Switching right now would be—
Copy !req
93. Look, we're live.
Copy !req
94. Reigen-kun, good work the last 30 minutes.
Copy !req
95. You wily, scheming old man!
Copy !req
96. All right, Jodo-sensei! Let's see you work!
Copy !req
97. My spotlight!
Copy !req
98. What am I supposed to exorcise here?
This boy isn't even possessed.
Copy !req
99. He's just acting.
Copy !req
100. Oh, come on, you geezer!
Get a clue!
Copy !req
101. Why'd you ruin all that setup
the program built up for you?
Copy !req
102. You are absolutely correct!
Copy !req
103. I'm impressed you were able to see the truth
Copy !req
104. when everyone in the studio has
been tricked this whole time!
Copy !req
105. A true psychic has just been revealed!
Copy !req
106. My name is Fukuda Suzuo, and I'm a child
actor from the Mongolian Spot Agency!
Copy !req
107. That was some brilliant acting!
Copy !req
108. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
109. I could barely tell he was acting!
Copy !req
110. Sci-fi researcher, Mogi-san,
what did you think?
Copy !req
111. I'd like to ask that gentleman over there
Copy !req
112. what all that "exorcism" crap was about.
Copy !req
113. What were you doing to a spirit
that didn't even exist?
Copy !req
114. Reigen-sensei, I'm sure our viewers
are wondering that as well.
Copy !req
115. Could it be... that you actually
don't have spiritual powers?
Copy !req
116. Come, now. Let's just say
this is how he works.
Copy !req
117. Excellent work, Jodo-sensei!
Copy !req
118. It should've been completely obvious
if the boy was possessed or not...
Copy !req
119. If you're a true psychic, that is.
Copy !req
120. Oh, I beg your pardon.
Copy !req
121. It's not like I'm referring to Reigen-san.
Copy !req
122. I'm sure he was trying to liven things
up for the sake of the program.
Copy !req
123. But I can guarantee that we
didn't ask him to do that.
Copy !req
124. What? Really? Poor Fukuda-kun.
Copy !req
125. It was basically torture.
Copy !req
126. Then what in the world were
you doing for 30 minutes?
Copy !req
127. Some new kind of dance?
Copy !req
128. I mean... It appeared as though that
boy was possessed by some spirit...
Copy !req
129. So I exorcised it.
Copy !req
130. Even if he was merely acting
like he was possessed,
Copy !req
131. spirits could come by at any moment.
Copy !req
132. What? A spirit was here?
I didn't even notice.
Copy !req
133. When did it appear?
Copy !req
134. About 30 minutes ago...
Copy !req
135. Right on the dot! I never knew
evil spirits were so punctual!
Copy !req
136. What kind of spirit was it? Huh?
What kind of spirit was it?
Copy !req
137. It was a man...
Copy !req
138. I think he was German...
Copy !req
139. Stop it, me! If you say another word...
Copy !req
140. It was Beethoven.
Copy !req
141. Du-du-du-dunnn!
Copy !req
142. Did you watch yesterday's ep
of Supernatural Detective?
Copy !req
143. I did! I laughed so hard!
Copy !req
144. That was basically a public execution.
Copy !req
145. That Reigen guy is hilarious!
Copy !req
146. Looks like Reigen's dug
himself into a hole...
Copy !req
147. There's no way that guy's a fraud.
Copy !req
148. I wonder if Reigen-san has
a plan to get out of this.
Copy !req
149. They're apparently making
a group for his victims.
Copy !req
150. Wanna go?
Copy !req
151. But we're not victims, though.
Copy !req
152. So he was a con artist after all.
Copy !req
153. It's probably his fault
we aren't getting any job offers.
Copy !req
154. I knew there was something off about him.
Copy !req
155. I'm gonna feed the media
even more bullcrap about him!
Copy !req
156. Hey, I might just be remembering wrong,
Copy !req
157. but isn't the place you work called
Spirits and Such Consultation Office?
Copy !req
158. It is.
Copy !req
159. Th-Then is your master's name...
Reigen Arataka?
Copy !req
160. Huh? Yeah, it is.
Copy !req
161. Y-You haven't heard?
Copy !req
162. Your master's getting bashed like crazy
on TV and the Internet!
Copy !req
163. We're getting a lot more actual jobs now.
Copy !req
164. If I become famous, I might be able to
break through to other media platforms.
Copy !req
165. That's all part of his plan.
Copy !req
166. Did he really think people
wouldn't find out?
Copy !req
167. And he calls himself a spirit medium?
Copy !req
168. I've actually been a victim
of spiritual fraud myself.
Copy !req
169. They wanted to undress for an exorcism.
Copy !req
170. God damn it! I was set up!
Copy !req
171. Those conniving bastards!
Copy !req
172. They used me as a scapegoat to boost
their ratings for like 30 seconds?
Copy !req
173. That conniving old man!
Copy !req
174. For now, I need to contain this and ensure
I don't become an even bigger meme.
Copy !req
175. Gah! They figured me out!
Copy !req
176. Is that how it's gonna be,
you little bastards?
Copy !req
177. Like I'd let a bunch of little shits who
don't know a thing about hard work beat me!
Copy !req
178. But the title and reputation of
"scam artist psychic"
Copy !req
179. spread like wildfire across media platforms
like a game of telephone.
Copy !req
180. And in three days, being the ultimate evil
had basically become Reigen's public image.
Copy !req
181. You can't be serious!
Copy !req
182. This isn't true at all!
Copy !req
183. How dare they spread these lies about me?
Copy !req
184. So basically,
Copy !req
185. I need you guys all to be my witnesses to
stop these guys from calling me a fraud.
Copy !req
186. All you have to do is talk to the media.
Copy !req
187. Huh?
Copy !req
188. Hey, why aren't you being
as annoying as usual?
Copy !req
189. Leave, now.
Copy !req
190. You can't fool us anymore.
Copy !req
191. Huh?
Copy !req
192. Hey, you can't be serious!
Copy !req
193. You probably thought we were prime prey!
Copy !req
194. We're not falling for that!
Copy !req
195. And here I thought he was a little cute, too!
Copy !req
196. Well, I guess the only thing I can do now
is wait until this all blows over.
Copy !req
197. What the heck? Are they actually
staking out my place?
Copy !req
198. There he is! That's Reigen Arataka!
Copy !req
199. Shit!
Copy !req
200. Don't run away!
Copy !req
201. Wait!
Copy !req
202. What was that so-called exorcism
you performed on that show?
Copy !req
203. Don't you think you need
to explain yourself?
Copy !req
204. You could at least give us some answers!
Copy !req
205. Are you off today?
Copy !req
206. The people aren't going to
be satisfied with this!
Copy !req
207. Everyone has their eye on you!
Copy !req
208. Yeah!
Copy !req
209. You can't run from this!
Copy !req
210. A press conference!
Copy !req
211. How about holding a press conference?
Copy !req
212. Huh?
Copy !req
213. A press conference?
Copy !req
214. Reigen Arataka, the man
who's garnered attention
Copy !req
215. for allegedly conning people
with psychic scams,
Copy !req
216. announced that he will be holding
a press conference tomorrow.
Copy !req
217. We believe the subjects that
will be discussed will include
Copy !req
218. if his previous activities
were indeed illegal,
Copy !req
219. and if he actually even
possesses spiritual powers.
Copy !req
220. That's...
Copy !req
221. Man... It'll be morning soon.
Copy !req
222. He's here!
Copy !req
223. Reigen has appeared!
Copy !req
224. Damn, that's bright.
Copy !req
225. Shit.
Copy !req
226. I thought I'd have a chance if
we were just going to argue,
Copy !req
227. but now my head's completely blank.
Copy !req
228. Calm down.
Copy !req
229. First, you need to get the reporters
to have a good impression of you.
Copy !req
230. F-First, I'd like to thank
you all for gathering...
Copy !req
231. Why did you all gather here today, anyway?
Copy !req
232. It's pretty common to suddenly get tired
of all this shit at the last minute.
Copy !req
233. What's with that attitude?
Copy !req
234. What?
Copy !req
235. Are you mocking us?
Copy !req
236. You're the one who said you'd
hold a press conference!
Copy !req
237. That's because you guys kept
stalking me to my house.
Copy !req
238. You basically made me hold this thing.
Copy !req
239. I have a few questions regarding
the fraudulent acts you've committed.
Copy !req
240. Hang on a sec.
Copy !req
241. By "fraudulent acts," are you
referring to my business?
Copy !req
242. Is there anyone here that can actually prove
I don't have any spiritual powers?
Copy !req
243. Or maybe any victims who can
prove they've been scammed?
Copy !req
244. There are a lot of people who've
reported that they've been scammed—
Copy !req
245. Right. Self-proclaimed "victims."
Copy !req
246. Why are you saying it like that?
Copy !req
247. Because it hasn't been proven.
Copy !req
248. Unless and until they are,
I can still call myself a psychic.
Copy !req
249. I'm not a criminal.
Copy !req
250. I'd be careful with how you
phrase things if I were you.
Copy !req
251. All right, I have a question.
Copy !req
252. Go ahead.
Copy !req
253. Do you actually have spiritual powers?
Copy !req
254. No comment.
Copy !req
255. Why won't you answer?
Copy !req
256. Because you won't be satisfied
unless I say "no."
Copy !req
257. I can't prove that I have spiritual powers
since you all lack them yourselves.
Copy !req
258. Are you really going to try
to talk your way out of this?
Copy !req
259. Judging from the broadcast the other day,
Copy !req
260. you do seem like you're
excellent at ad-libbing.
Copy !req
261. Tch.
Copy !req
262. Oh? Did you just click your tongue?
Copy !req
263. No, I was just testing the mics.
Copy !req
264. Uh-oh, now he's copping an attitude.
Copy !req
265. This guy's finished.
Copy !req
266. When did you start this
psychic business of yours?
Copy !req
267. About four years ago.
Copy !req
268. What were you doing prior to that?
Copy !req
269. I worked at some company.
Copy !req
270. Did that company have anything
to do with psychics?
Copy !req
271. No, not at all.
Copy !req
272. He's actually answering the questions.
Copy !req
273. What kind of problems did
people come to you with?
Copy !req
274. Stiff shoulders, spirit photos, and stuff.
Copy !req
275. Did they see any results?
Copy !req
276. Those cases have been solved.
Copy !req
277. Any particular case that stands out?
Copy !req
278. Getting rid of some urban legends.
Copy !req
279. Have you ever had any
conflicts with your clients?
Copy !req
280. I have not.
Copy !req
281. Have you ever sold any expensive
salt or prayer beads?
Copy !req
282. I have not.
Copy !req
283. Apparently, information about when you were
a student is spreading over the Internet.
Copy !req
284. That doesn't matter.
Copy !req
285. According to your graduation
essay, you wrote this...
Copy !req
286. "I want to be somebody."
Copy !req
287. What made you get into the psychic business?
Copy !req
288. Why?
Copy !req
289. Reigen-san looks pretty pale...
Copy !req
290. D-Don't keep making the
media outlets your enemy.
Copy !req
291. How wonderful. He's at a loss for words.
Copy !req
292. Something's wrong.
He doesn't have his usual zing.
Copy !req
293. Great Master Reigen...
Copy !req
294. What's wrong?
Copy !req
295. Why did I decide to live as a psychic?
Copy !req
296. It's not like it's lucrative,
and it's usually troublesome.
Copy !req
297. Thinking back,
Copy !req
298. there was a time when
I always did everything efficiently
Copy !req
299. and was filled with curiosity
about everything.
Copy !req
300. But then I got bored, quit my job,
and rented that office on a whim.
Copy !req
301. I ended up getting into this facade of a
job because of an ad I saw in a magazine.
Copy !req
302. That's right... I actually
meant to quit a long time ago.
Copy !req
303. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
304. My body felt so heavy,
but now I'm fine!
Copy !req
305. Man, I'm bored.
Copy !req
306. As it stands, I'm no
different from a masseur.
Copy !req
307. Guess it's about time to wrap things up.
Copy !req
308. I wonder what I should do next.
Copy !req
309. Being a PI sounds pretty fun,
Copy !req
310. but maybe not, since apparently they mostly
do investigations on cheating spouses.
Copy !req
311. Excuse me.
Copy !req
312. I came here because I saw your sign.
Copy !req
313. Sure thing.
Copy !req
314. How may I help you?
Copy !req
315. Er... Oh, it's just a kid.
Copy !req
316. What do you want, boy?
Copy !req
317. Um, I'm an esper.
Copy !req
318. Wha?
Copy !req
319. There are times when I can't
control my powers very well,
Copy !req
320. and it's scary.
Copy !req
321. You shitty little brat.
This must be a prank.
Copy !req
322. Did someone tell you to
come here and tell me that?
Copy !req
323. No. I haven't been able to
talk to anyone about this.
Copy !req
324. I thought you might be the same as me...
Copy !req
325. If I tried, I could see spirits, too.
Copy !req
326. A pathological liar?
No, maybe it's an overactive imagination.
Copy !req
327. Either way, he seems rather troubled by this.
Copy !req
328. Well, come on in.
Copy !req
329. Okay.
Copy !req
330. I was troubled a lot when I was a kid, too.
Copy !req
331. What's with this kid?
Copy !req
332. He's staring at me with
eyes brimming with hope.
Copy !req
333. This is serious.
Copy !req
334. This kid's in his own fantasy world.
Copy !req
335. I'll just come up with something
to get him to go home.
Copy !req
336. Listen. Just because you have psychic powers
Copy !req
337. doesn't make you any less human.
Copy !req
338. It's the same as people who are fast,
people who are book smart,
Copy !req
339. and people with strong body odor.
Copy !req
340. Psychic powers are just
another characteristic.
Copy !req
341. You must embrace that as a part of
yourself and continue to live positively.
Copy !req
342. The truth behind one's charm is kindness.
Copy !req
343. Become a good person. That is all.
Copy !req
344. May I come to talk to you again?
Copy !req
345. Yeah, I don't know about that.
I'm pretty busy, you know?
Copy !req
346. Anyway, you should go home for tod— Hot!
Copy !req
347. Hey, don't get bur—
Copy !req
348. Hey... You said you could
see ghosts, too, right?
Copy !req
349. Do you know how to exorcise them, too?
Copy !req
350. All right. Come again tomorrow
around the same time.
Copy !req
351. What? Really?
Copy !req
352. I'll show you how to use your powers.
Copy !req
353. Back then, I couldn't help but admire
this kid that walked into my life.
Copy !req
354. I wanted to grasp something for myself, too.
Copy !req
355. I wanted to become someone special.
Copy !req
356. Yet this is the result.
Copy !req
357. I haven't changed at all since then.
Copy !req
358. I just kept using him.
Copy !req
359. In the end, I couldn't become anything.
Copy !req
360. Maybe I was the one who was holding
him back from his youth the most.
Copy !req
361. Man, I said something really awful back then.
Copy !req
362. He wanted to change,
and yet I tried to cage him in.
Copy !req
363. Hey, Mob... Are you watching?
Copy !req
364. You've grown up so much. You know that?
Copy !req
365. That doesn't answer anything!
Copy !req
366. What kind of answer is that?
