1. Moving along, turn to page 44
in your textbooks.Copy !req
2. Are they open?Copy !req
3. Mr. Yokota...
Sorry I'm late again...Copy !req
4. Katayama, what's wrong
with your back?Copy !req
5. Hm?Copy !req
6. Oh. It started swelling
for some reason.Copy !req
7. And down we go...Copy !req
8. What is that?Copy !req
9. Gross, it's like a snail shell!Copy !req
10. That's so freaky...Copy !req
11. What the heck?Copy !req
12. Gross!Copy !req
13. A spiral...Copy !req
14. What's that sound?Copy !req
15. Snakes!Copy !req
16. Those two snakes
are coiled around each other!Copy !req
17. Gross, that's so creepy!Copy !req
18. They're fighting, aren't they?Copy !req
19. They're at each other's throats.
Just like our parents.Copy !req
20. They're not fighting...
They're mating.Copy !req
21. I hear that they still don't
know where Azami is.Copy !req
22. Yeah...Copy !req
23. It must have been rough
for you, Kirie.Copy !req
24. You were questioned by the police
about the disappearance, right?Copy !req
25. Yeah...Copy !req
26. Say, Kirie...Copy !req
27. Did you know that they've
started burying people again?Copy !req
28. Huh?Copy !req
29. They're burying bodies
instead of cremating them.Copy !req
30. Those huge spirals have been swirling above
the Kurouzu crematorium lately, right?Copy !req
31. Yeah...Copy !req
32. They're trying to write it off
as a freak of nature,Copy !req
33. a combination of a furnace malfunction
and unique local weather patterns,Copy !req
34. but I hear there have been spirals
above crematoriums in other cities, too.Copy !req
35. But only when someone
from Kurouzu-cho is cremated,Copy !req
36. Doesn't that blow your mind?Copy !req
37. Yeah...Copy !req
38. I guess it's because people think
it's better than seeing those spirals,Copy !req
39. but I can't believe there's actual dead bodies
buried along the path we take to school.Copy !req
40. It makes my hair stand on end...Copy !req
41. Let's walk faster, yeah?Copy !req
42. Boo!Copy !req
43. Goshima! I love you!Copy !req
44. Don't jump out at people
like that, Yamaguchi!Copy !req
45. Did I get you?Copy !req
46. Don't even bother trying
to get her attention.Copy !req
47. Kirie already has a boyfriend.Copy !req
48. Sure, I know!Copy !req
49. But I want to land a pretty girl
like you as my girlfriendCopy !req
50. and give everyone
the shock of their lives!Copy !req
51. For the love of...Copy !req
52. This is why everyone
calls you Jack-in-the-Box!Copy !req
53. Scaring people is my thing!Copy !req
54. Well, I don't want anything
to do with it or you.Copy !req
55. Please stop bothering me.Copy !req
56. Let's go, Shiho.Copy !req
57. Goshima!Copy !req
58. I'm not giving up!Copy !req
59. Mark my words,
I'll make you fall for me!Copy !req
60. - Stupid punk!
- We warned you to stay away from her!Copy !req
61. Come on, Yoriko!Copy !req
62. No! Let go of me, Dad!Copy !req
63. Yoriko!Copy !req
64. Little bastard!Copy !req
65. Kazunori!Copy !req
66. - March, young lady!
- No! Kazunori!Copy !req
67. Are you okay?Copy !req
68. Kazunori?Copy !req
69. They're warped and twisted...Copy !req
70. Huh? Who are?Copy !req
71. Do you remember, Goshima?Copy !req
72. We moved here when I
was in grade school.Copy !req
73. Into that old row house that
had been abandoned for yearsCopy !req
74. that everyone calls
the Poorhouse.Copy !req
75. Sure, Shuichi and I
would go over sometimes.Copy !req
76. Yoriko's family lives in
the same row house,Copy !req
77. but our families
hate each other.Copy !req
78. Everyone's hearts are
twisted beyond recognition.Copy !req
79. I think it's because they can't accept
the poverty they've found themselves in.Copy !req
80. So twisting themselves
into knotsCopy !req
81. is their only way to shield themselves
from that reality.Copy !req
82. When two twisted people
lock horns with each otherCopy !req
83. they become entangled,
and things go totally out of control.Copy !req
84. It's impossible for them
to get untangled.Copy !req
85. Your families are twisted beyond recognition?
But you're not like that at at all.Copy !req
86. Thanks.
I appreciate that, Goshima.Copy !req
87. I like to think that Yoriko and I
haven't become twisted yet.Copy !req
88. The thing is... We're planning
to run away together.Copy !req
89. What?Copy !req
90. By train the day after tomorrow.Copy !req
91. Don't tell anyone, okay?Copy !req
92. I won't.Copy !req
93. KUROUZU HOSPITALCopy !req
94. SAITO, YUKIECopy !req
95. I sure hope Kazunori and Yoriko
find a way to be happy.Copy !req
96. That makes sense. It's no wonder
that they hate each other.Copy !req
97. The spiral curse
hangs over that row house.Copy !req
98. Come again?Copy !req
99. The spiral is twisting
and warping their souls.Copy !req
100. Unless my eyes are deceiving me,Copy !req
101. the curse is particularly strong
in that row house.Copy !req
102. Admittedly, this whole town has begun
to be infected by the spiral.Copy !req
103. Look at these.Copy !req
104. Hm?Copy !req
105. Once they're touched by the spiral, which has
the power to draw things towards its center,Copy !req
106. people must have an overwhelming urge
to attract the attention of others.Copy !req
107. By the way, Kirie...Copy !req
108. Hm?Copy !req
109. Are you growing your hair out?Copy !req
110. What?Copy !req
111. Come to think of it, my hair does
seem longer all of a sudden.Copy !req
112. KUROUZU HIGH SCHOOLCopy !req
113. Ms. Goshima...Copy !req
114. What's going on with your hair?Copy !req
115. What?Copy !req
116. WOMENCopy !req
117. WOMEN
Where did all these curls
come from?Copy !req
118. Why don't you
do a French braid?Copy !req
119. I can braid it for you.Copy !req
120. Thanks, Ms. Sekino.Copy !req
121. The structure of DNACopy !req
122. is a double helix.Copy !req
123. Picture two strandsCopy !req
124. that form a ladder
that is then twisted.Copy !req
125. Each strand has a backboneCopy !req
126. made of alternating sugar and phosphate
groups that form a pentagram.Copy !req
127. - Oh, come on!
made of alternating sugar and phosphate
groups that form a pentagram.Copy !req
128. The points of the pentagram point inwards
to the center of the helix, where they—Copy !req
129. What the hell is that monster?Copy !req
130. Gross!Copy !req
131. It's Katayama...!Copy !req
132. What did you say?Copy !req
133. - Seriously?
- Are you kidding?Copy !req
134. That's totally Katayama!
See? Look at its face!Copy !req
135. His eyes stuck out!Copy !req
136. MARBLE HAIR SALONCopy !req
137. Please cut it.
Lop it all off.Copy !req
138. Are you sure?Copy !req
139. Yes, so creepy.Copy !req
140. All right, short it is.Copy !req
141. You're... You're some kind of monster!Copy !req
142. This isn't right!
Let's take her to the hospital!Copy !req
143. - Sis!
- Kirie!Copy !req
144. Honey, we have to get her
to the hospital!Copy !req
145. I can't breathe!Copy !req
146. Her hair is angry!
It's strangling her because it's mad!Copy !req
147. It's killing her for trying to cut it
or trying to go to the hospital!Copy !req
148. Don't be ridiculous!Copy !req
149. You're saying that she's
strangling herself?Copy !req
150. Honey, Mitsuo might be right.Copy !req
151. What's the matter?Copy !req
152. Say something!Copy !req
153. Ms. Goshima...Copy !req
154. You there!
What's with that hair?Copy !req
155. Ms. Goshima...Copy !req
156. Just you wait, I'll attract
even more attention than you.Copy !req
157. You won't believe what Sluggo
ate for breakfast!Copy !req
158. Weeds in the chicken coop!Copy !req
159. - Come on, "Sluggo"?
- That's harsh, even for you, Tsumura!Copy !req
160. I can't take this anymore...Copy !req
161. He hasn't come home for two days.
He was here at the school this whole time?Copy !req
162. This is your son.Copy !req
163. Don't be absurd!
That's not our son!Copy !req
164. I don't buy it!
Is this some sick joke?Copy !req
165. - Come on, we're leaving!
- Right!Copy !req
166. Katayama...Copy !req
167. KUROUZU HIGH SCHOOLCopy !req
168. Guys!Copy !req

170. KUROUZU STATIONCopy !req
171. Shuichi...Copy !req
172. Boo!Copy !req
173. Goshima! Please accept
this token of my affection!Copy !req
174. I'm sorry,
but I can't accept this.Copy !req
175. I wish you'd at least open it
and see what's inside.Copy !req
176. I'm already seeing someone.
You need to stop this.Copy !req
177. What can I do to make you
understand how I feel about you?Copy !req
178. I know!Copy !req
179. Watch this, Goshima!Copy !req
180. I'll stop that car
with the power of my love!Copy !req

Yeah, can you believe it?Copy !req
187. KUROUZU HIGH SCHOOLCopy !req
188. KUROUZU HIGH SCHOOL
I hear his body got wrapped around the
front wheel and was crushed to a pulp.Copy !req
189. Not again!Copy !req
190. Oh, man!
Katayama got out of his pen!Copy !req
191. No, wait!Copy !req
192. That's...Copy !req
193. - ... Tsumura!
- ... Tsumura!Copy !req
194. Ms. Goshima!Copy !req
195. What do you think?
Am I worth looking at now?Copy !req
196. I won't play second fiddle to you.
Let's see who's best.Copy !req
197. Come on, let's see what
you've got, Ms. Goshima!Copy !req
198. Ms. Sekino, I'm not interested
in competing with you...Copy !req
199. Only one of us can be
the center of attention!Copy !req
200. Looking at you makes me sick!Copy !req
201. Kirie!Copy !req
202. Kirie!Copy !req
203. Hang on, I'll cut it off!Copy !req
204. Now I'm the center of attention
in this town!Copy !req
205. Look at me!
Look at me, everyone!Copy !req
206. I'm so tired...Copy !req
207. But I need more...Copy !req
208. Even more... attention...Copy !req
209. Kirie!Copy !req
210. Shuichi?Copy !req
211. This is bad!
Katayama and Tsumura got loose!Copy !req
212. If we don't find them fast
and exterminate them,Copy !req
213. we're all in big trouble!Copy !req
214. Mr. Yokota!Copy !req
215. Mr. Yokota!
Please don't kill them!Copy !req
216. These are eggs they laid
after they mated!Copy !req
217. Mated? But they're both males!Copy !req
218. There's no gender distinction
with snails!Copy !req
219. If these things hatch,
all hell will break loose in town!Copy !req
220. Stop it!
Don't smash their eggs!Copy !req
221. They aren't human anymore!Copy !req
222. They're snail people!
That's my name for them!Copy !req
223. Everything's gone crazy...Copy !req
224. Kazunori...Copy !req
225. Where are you going?
You're in no shape to go anywhere!Copy !req
226. The train station! Kazunori and Yoriko
are getting out of town!Copy !req
227. Getting out of town?Copy !req
228. Yes. They're getting out here.
I want at least them to escape.Copy !req
229. KUROUZU STATIONCopy !req
230. Running away together is the smart decision,
but are you sure they're coming?Copy !req
231. They should be here any minute.
He said they were taking the 6:30 train.Copy !req
232. What's wrong?
Why are you running?Copy !req
233. Our parents spotted us
sneaking out of the house.Copy !req
234. Our fathers are chasing after us!Copy !req
235. They already have people
staking out the station!Copy !req
236. What can we do?Copy !req
237. Let's go along the coast!
We'll help!Copy !req
238. Shuichi...!Copy !req
239. There they are!Copy !req
240. This way!Copy !req
241. Kazunori! Stop this nonsense at once!
Turn around and come home!Copy !req
242. Dad! Get out of our way!Copy !req

- Kazunori!Copy !req
246. Come back here!Copy !req
247. I... I can't...Copy !req
248. run any farther!Copy !req
249. Yoriko...Copy !req
250. Little twerp, how many times am I gonna
have to beat sense into you?Copy !req
251. Kazunori...Copy !req
252. We're going to be
pulled apart again, aren't we?Copy !req
253. No.Copy !req
254. We're staying together this time.Copy !req
255. We'll twist our bodies!Copy !req
256. Like this!Copy !req
257. Yoriko!Copy !req
258. Yoriko!Copy !req
259. - Give me your hand!
- Kazunori!Copy !req
260. What in the name of—Copy !req
261. Yoriko!
Hang on, I'll get you out!Copy !req
262. It's too tight!
It's like a steel cable!Copy !req
263. Dad, stop it.Copy !req
264. We'll never be apart again.Copy !req
265. You're right.
We'll be together forever.Copy !req
266. Excuse me, is something wrong?Copy !req
267. Hm? What makes you think
something is wrong?Copy !req
268. I'm on my way home.
It's the strangest thing, though.Copy !req
269. I keep walking and walking,
but never seem to get there.Copy !req
270. KUROUZU STATIONCopy !req
271. Somebody help me!
I can't walk in a straight line!Copy !req
272. I hear the black lighthouse
suddenly lit up last night.Copy !req
273. But it's been sitting broken for years.
I wonder when they fixed it.Copy !req
274. I hear that anyone who looks
into the light goes crazy!Copy !req
275. Wow, really? That's scary!Copy !req
276. Mr. Yokota!Copy !req
277. He turned into
a snail person himself...Copy !req
278. Sis! Come quick!Copy !req
279. What is it this time?Copy !req
280. It must have run aground
sometime last night.Copy !req
281. But the seas were calm.
And the lighthouse was lit up.Copy !req
282. The way I hear it,
after it ran aground,Copy !req
283. her three crewmen were
walking in circles on the deck.Copy !req
284. Afterwards, they fell
into the water.Copy !req
285. They pulled one out,
but the others are still missing.Copy !req
286. Speaking of missing,Copy !req
287. city hall sent five experts to check out
the lighthouse last night.Copy !req
288. No one's heard from them since.Copy !req
289. Mitsuo?Copy !req
290. Mitsuo!Copy !req
291. Mitsuo!Copy !req
292. Come down this instant!Copy !req
293. This stairway is so cool!Copy !req
294. Let's go higher, Mitsuo!Copy !req
295. Yeah!Copy !req
296. I guess I have to go up...Copy !req
297. It's strange...
This doesn't make sense.Copy !req
298. No matter how far I climb,
I never reach the top.Copy !req
299. It's like I'm going around
and around in a circle.Copy !req
300. Plus, something smells burnt...Copy !req
301. I feel like I'm going crazy...Copy !req
302. Help us!Copy !req
303. Mitsuo!Copy !req
304. Mitsuo and our friend
kept going.Copy !req
305. They wanted to
explore some more.Copy !req
306. - I'll get them, you two go down first.
- Okay.Copy !req
307. Hurry back down!Copy !req
308. Sis, I'm scared...!
The spiral is staring at us!Copy !req
309. This is the lighthouse's lens.Copy !req
310. A Fresnel lens should be made up
of concentric circles, though...Copy !req
311. I wonder what made it
look like that.Copy !req
312. It's like the whole thing
is warped and distorted.Copy !req
313. And those bodies down there...Copy !req
314. Oh, no!Copy !req
315. Both of you, start climbing down!Copy !req
316. The light comes on at sundown! We have
to get out of here before then!Copy !req
317. What? Why?Copy !req
318. That light must be incredibly hot!Copy !req
319. Hot enough to melt glass!
And hot enough to—Copy !req
320. Hurry! Move, start climbing down!Copy !req
321. What's going on?
What's gonna happen?Copy !req
322. I'll explain later, just run!Copy !req
323. It's coming...Copy !req
324. The heat is coming!Copy !req
325. Don't stop! Run!Copy !req
326. Kid!Copy !req
327. The light from the lighthouse
that had awoken from its long slumberCopy !req

swallowed up by the spiral.Copy !req
