00:00Wow, Be Mad.
00:09Wow, Get ััensin'
01:52Yeah, we're not all the same.
01:55My bad. Didn't mean to offend.
01:56Wait up. Please, just hold on a second.
02:00Don't stop. We'll see if there's a shrine nearby we can run to.
02:03Can it not go inside of one?
02:05Honestly, I don't know.
02:06But I think sometimes they can function like safe points or something.
02:09Do you really not know?
02:11Once the switch is flipped on your paranormal sensitivity, you're more open to spiritual harm.
02:15Hmm? What's that mean?
02:17I think he's talking about illnesses and accidents caused by spirits.
02:21You in particular, Maki!
02:22If a nice but super high-strung guy like you gets possessed, you are in for a very bad time!
02:27Guys!
02:27I wonder why all these cats are freaking out.
02:32They're really making things extra scary!
02:34Cats are sensitive creatures.
02:36But they do seem especially worked up.
02:39Guys, I think we're in luck.
02:40Let's change our strategy.
02:42We're gonna follow the meowing cats!
02:44It's you, Mogura.
02:54What's with the running around?
02:57Hey there, Kyo.
02:58Thought you might be nearby?
03:00Out doing an exorcism or what?
03:02I suppose he would explain the odd presence I'm sensing.
03:08Now the Grim Stalker's acting scared.
03:10Come on, Kyo!
03:11Do us a solid!
03:12What do you want?
03:13Just go on and spell it out for me.
03:15Because I am through trying to understand you.
03:18That.
03:21Oh.
03:22So this guy latched onto you now, did he?
03:24That totally sucks.
03:26So you actually know this person?
03:28Who, him?
03:28You realize he's not actually a person.
03:32I'd call him a sump human scumbag and a big-time screw-up.
03:35If a person made the same kind of mistake he did, they'd go straight to hell.
03:39That's pretty harsh.
03:40I'm standing right here, you know?
03:41And I'm working on being a better person.
03:44Then shutting it would be a great move.
03:46Listen up.
03:47Let me give you some friendly advice.
03:49I don't know what all he's told you, but hanging out with shady creatures like him is a very bad idea.
03:55Plus, this guy in particular always wants to play the victim.
03:58He's moody, resentful, and blows everything out of proportion, so there's no need to take what he says seriously.
04:04He'll whine about his issues, and trauma-dump to pretty much anyone, because he's a swindler who preys on generosity.
04:09Not holding back, are ya?
04:12Everybody, meet Kyoshiro Nekosuku.
04:14He'll help us out.
04:15This is Magi and Yae.
04:17Yeah, this is exactly what I was talking about.
04:20Always leaving out huge chunks of info.
04:22Hey, I'm...
04:24I know who you are.
04:25A first-year prone to possession.
04:27That's me!
04:28Shio Inukai!
04:29So you do realize that you don't need to tell people everything as soon as they ask you something?
04:36Wait.
04:37You have matching uniforms!
04:39Yeah, we do!
04:40What a coincidence!
04:41That's great!
04:42Always a good thing to have more people who can lend me their textbooks.
04:45I'm a third year.
04:47Not what I was getting at.
04:48It was more that I was shocked to find out that The Exorcist is another high school student like you.
04:53Yeah, good point.
04:54This is going nowhere.
04:56Anyway, you know the drill.
04:58Think you can handle that for us?
04:59No, I do not know the drill.
05:01Just so I'm clear on things.
05:03Somehow, you met these nice, normal people and wasted no time exposing them to spiritual harm.
05:08Not only that, you dragged her into it.
05:11And now you're coming to me to clean up the mess you've made.
05:14Is that about it?
05:16Bingo!
05:16Please die!
05:17I've run into a little bit of a snag on that one.
05:21First, I'll need to get her consent.
05:23I don't want to be like that spirit.
05:24Inukai, want me to exorcise you?
05:27Uh...
05:28Uh...
05:28Yeah, sure.
05:29Guess so?
05:31So you're aware of what's happening?
05:33The spirit is groping you.
05:35You can't see it or feel it, so the choice is yours.
05:37Let's get rid of it now!
05:45Where'd he go?
05:51I didn't think the spirit would be physically injured.
05:54I mean, that is super impressive, but still...
05:58This is crazy.
06:02The guy's younger and smaller than me, but he's weirdly intimidating.
06:06What's going on?
06:08And what is this strange noise I'm hearing?
06:10Quit trying to make everything make sense and just take a look.
06:14Like a real close look.
06:16Zoom in.
06:17What do you see?
06:18You're looking at the real cost of possessing great power.
06:21Hey, watch it, would you?
06:24That hurts!
06:26So gross.
06:27You're so stinky!
06:28Oh, I guess some people might be jealous of that.
06:31Why would anybody be jealous?
06:33He steals all my nutrients so I can't gain any weight.
06:36And get bags under my eyes.
06:38The whole thing totally sucks.
06:39Go on, Navashima.
06:42Time for a treat.
06:49That's a baka neko.
07:03Huh.
07:03Puked him right up.
07:06It could be worse, I guess.
07:07Much better than being digested.
07:09He's gonna be immobilized for a while.
07:12Eventually, someone from the afterlife will come around to pick him up.
07:15So they can handle everything from here.
07:18This is how the Nekozuku family does their thing.
07:20They've been possessed by baka neko for generations.
07:23I'm sure a lit major like you has read about the creature's fearsome reputation.
07:27The Nekozuku family figured out a way to turn that curse into good money.
07:32They're exorcists.
07:33Fighting fire with fire, you might say.
07:35An exorcism by the family head'll cost you.
07:38But little Kyo here is still just a trainee.
07:40So he'll defeat him for free.
07:42You always knew a way to get a freebie, huh?
07:44You do know we don't defeat spirits.
07:46That's a complete misunderstanding of an exorcism.
07:49Yeah, I get it.
07:50You don't feel anything like a sense of justice when you do it.
07:53My bad.
07:54You tantalize the great cats so they'll swat your victims.
07:58That's the Nekozuku family style.
08:01But the occasional extra unlucky spirit will get eaten.
08:04So basically, what you're saying is that they're all really good with cat toys?
08:08That's right.
08:09Freaky supernatural pet trainers.
08:11Yeah, more or less.
08:13Gotta grab some flames real quick.
08:16He's like the old woman who steals hair in Roshomon.
08:19The whole thing is just so desperate.
08:23Ladies.
08:24This guy's still not giving up?
08:26Probably never had a date in his life.
08:28Go on, Nabashima.
08:29Play with him.
08:36Come on, man.
08:40You could at least try to be a little more careful with him.
08:42Flames will scatter.
08:43Is that how it works?
08:45Best to get tofu by using a ladle, right?
08:47Because when you try to grab it with a pair of chopsticks, it gets all torn to pieces.
08:51It's exactly like that.
08:53I see what you mean, but that's a wild analogy.
08:56Well, Kyo is still a trainee, like I said.
08:59The head of the Nekozuku family does things way more neatly.
09:02Tell me something.
09:03So, uh, do you know what his father's name is?
09:06It wouldn't happen to be Toshiro Nekozuku, would it?
09:09Yeah, and I'm surprised you know it.
09:11Course I do.
09:12Nekozuku's a pretty unusual name.
09:14And he's also one of my professors.
09:16He's actually my seminar advisor.
09:18He teaches fantasy literature and is a published author in the genre.
09:22He's written tons of mysterious stories.
09:24He's got his own style and is known for oddly specific expressions.
09:27That's why I decided to take one of his classes.
09:30He's a fantasy author?
09:33You're telling me the novels Toshiro writes are considered fantasy?
09:36Huh?
09:37Those aren't just stories.
09:39They're probably his real experiences.
09:41And you two are paying to learn about them.
09:43What'd I say?
09:45There's a lot more strangeness going around in the world than a regular person would ever hope to realize.
09:50I told you from the very beginning that you could ignore all of this.
10:00But now that your eyes are open, you've got a whole new perspective on things.
10:04And you might even enjoy life a little bit more.
10:07I'm feeling left out!
10:09I can't see anything weird!
10:10Well, life is a lot easier for people like her.
10:15I would say you're lucky.
10:16Because honestly, the giant cat is terrifying!
10:19But I want to see the monster catty too!
10:21Forgive me if I'm being insensitive, but this entire situation is like a miracle of the century for me.
10:26If Shio here gets possessed this easily, that could be good news as far as I'm concerned.
10:31Magi and Yai, let me know if you see anything else.
10:34You're both pretty sensitive.
10:36Not many folks out there have brains and eyes that can accept this sort of thing so quickly.
10:40Kyo, you can handle anything that's too hairy for me.
10:43No, I don't believe I will.
10:45Now this is a great team!
10:47I just about lost all hope.
10:49But it's as if the perfect crew just assembled before my eyes like magic!
10:53I might actually gather enough fire to return to the afterlife.
10:57I'll have to get used to feeling optimistic again.
11:01Return?
11:02Reckon it's time to call it a day.
11:03I didn't realize it had gotten so late.
11:05What?
11:06It's 11pm?
11:07Uh-oh!
11:08My mom is going to kill me!
11:09I almost forgot to have a major essay that's due tomorrow!
11:12You people are hopeless.
11:15Good morning.
11:17Huh?
11:18Hello, Professor.
11:19Did you happen to get the essay I said earlier?
11:21It was 20 pages on why children's literature contains so many elements of horror.
11:26Yes, I did get that.
11:28Pulled an all-nighter, huh?
11:30Me?
11:31Yeah.
11:32Well, that's not good for your health.
11:34Don't make it a habit.
11:35You're right.
11:36Excuse us.
11:38Magi.
11:38Kirihara.
11:40Just a little word to the wise.
11:42You both need to stay far away from Drawer Street.
11:44It'll only pull you in deeper.
11:47Huh?
11:47I hope you know that this isn't an easy life.
11:59Gives me terrible shoulder pain.
12:01Huh?
12:02I think I'll go back home and sleep all day.
12:04I really appreciate you letting us bomb your Wi-Fi.
12:09No problem.
12:10Kind of forgot Mogura here doesn't have his own internet.
12:13Is this one of those online lecture thingies?
12:16Hey, it's Toshiro!
12:18Let's begin.
12:19I'm speaking to you from Miye Prefecture.
12:22Professor Neko Zuku often goes on business trips.
12:25He streams his lectures when he's away.
12:28Yeah, sometimes he has to travel pretty far to perform an exorcism.
12:31He's got that word-of-mouth fame going for him.
12:34So that's why he's a roaming professor.
12:36I never would have guessed as much.
12:38Uh, can everyone see this document?
12:40It's a little hard to see now, professor.
12:42So is there a way to minimize that thing?
12:44You're supposed to be looking at the document rather than me.
12:47Here in Japan, when we read or hear stories about a non-human living out a human existence,
12:53our tendency is to interpret these beings as gods or similar kinds of entities.
12:57being punished for some manner of wrongdoing.
13:00Some people read Kaguya Hime from the tale of the bamboo cutter this way.
13:04The people of the moon, in other words, the heaven dwellers, reside above humans.
13:09It's arguably natural for Japanese people to interpret stories this way.
13:13Furthermore, Japanese culture tends to regard tree spirits and animals that serve the gods
13:17as also being elevated above humans.
13:20This line of thinking is second nature.
13:22An influence I theorize is heavily inspired by animism.
13:25Elevated beings demoted to human status and forced to live as mortals.
13:31Gotta love the internet!
13:32Hey, Toshiro!
13:34Elevated, huh?
13:35Are you waving or not?
13:36Though I can't help but think of what Nekozuku Jr. said.
13:39You realize he's not actually a person.
13:42Looking back, I guess there's always been a lot of spiritual interference in Professor Nekozuku's
13:51online lectures.
13:52His camera's basically a cat toy.
13:54And Ikebukuro clearly figured out where it is.
13:57Ikebukuro?
13:57That's the fat cat's name.
13:59How is that a name?
14:00Ah, whatever, forget it.
14:02Wait a sec.
14:03He always knows when someone uses a screenshot to skip class.
14:06The immobile spirits in the background are literally a dead giveaway.
14:09But how does he know when someone's napping?
14:11I'll bet the little stinkers rat them out for a giggle.
14:14I'm guessing poor Toshiro probably has a hell of a time figuring out who's a student
14:18and who's a spirit sometimes.
14:20I never thought this was how I developed pathos for my uptight college professor.
14:24Um, anyway, why are you listening to his lecture here of all places?
14:29He ain't here for the view.
14:32Okay.
14:33The other day you mentioned something about how getting a real exorcism would be expensive.
14:37I want to know how much it costs.
14:39What's the current market price for exorcisms?
14:43Ugh, yeah, it's gone viral.
14:45Comments are along the lines of,
14:47Oh my god, scary, and never going there again.
14:50People are flipping.
14:51Another tenant's security guard uploaded the pic.
14:54They probably didn't expect it to gain so much traction this quickly.
14:58And that's why there were so many weird customers today.
15:01Thing is, it doesn't matter if these are real spirits.
15:03Headquarters has asked me to just deal with it, meaning,
15:06I must deal with it.
15:09How do you deal with the dead?
15:10I'm not paid enough for that!
15:12Damn, you can't eat up from general affairs!
15:14I mean, to be fair, he's probably getting a lot of crap from his bosses, too.
15:18A few customers have already demanded I exorcise the place.
15:21What am I gonna do?
15:22It's become a consumer trust issue.
15:25Now I have to put on a big song and dance to convince everyone I've got it handled.
15:33Hmm, I don't know, maybe it is something supernatural.
15:38Whoa!
15:38I can move things with my mind?
15:40Are you sure that makes you a poltergeist?
15:42Of course.
15:43Come to think of it, that one high school girl's been swinging by a lot lately.
15:47Your really hungry one in the Yatsumeha uniform.
15:50Maki!
15:52I'm gonna buy my snacks here from now on!
15:55All of that for one day?
15:56This place is fun!
15:57I'm a chill hero for a while.
15:59Unusual incidents have skyrocketed since she first showed up here.
16:02So maybe this is all her fault.
16:05Bullseye.
16:05Maybe I should just tell him the truth.
16:08But I risk him thinking I'm a total weirdo.
16:11Guess that comes along with seeing spirits.
16:13It would make for a fun anime, but sucks in real life.
16:17My full-time employees are creeped out, too.
16:19If an exorcism will diffuse the situation, then I am completely on board.
16:23It's like that thing where you lie to people.
16:25It's called the placebo effect?
16:27Ah, who even does that sort of thing?
16:30A Shinto priest?
16:31Buddhist monk?
16:32I don't suppose you happen to know any mediums?
16:36I'm guessing not.
16:39Actually, um, I do.
16:42Not your best story.
16:44So basically, Boss Man asked you to do him a favor.
16:47This kind of thing happens to you a lot, doesn't it?
16:50Yeah.
16:50Boss Man's lucky.
16:51He hit the jackpot.
16:53No joke.
16:54Wait, really?
16:55Are you serious?
16:56I have so many follow-up questions about it, but none of them matter right now.
17:00I need their help.
17:01Thank you, Magi.
17:02You're really one of the good ones.
17:03Thank you so, so much.
17:05Yay!
17:06Disaster averted!
17:09Hiring you was the best decision I ever made, Magi!
17:12I thank you!
17:13I've never been thanked that profusely.
17:17Another thrilling anecdote.
17:19And cautionary tale of middle management.
17:21Financially speaking, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
17:24What's the damage?
17:26100,000 yen?
17:27A million.
17:28A million yen?!
17:29Sometimes spirits are real dangerous.
17:32Toshiro.
17:33He's the one you're gonna call when there's something deranged in the neighborhood.
17:37It costs a lot, but so do medical bills.
17:39In other words, a spirit like that one the other day can be handled for free by someone like Kyo.
17:45Most spirit incidents are minor, a misunderstanding, or have some sort of medical explanation.
17:50So, you get what you pay for with those shady bullshit psychics who charge a half-assed fee for half-assed work.
17:56Based on what you're telling me, sounds like something you can handle by yourself.
18:00They don't seem to respect my authority.
18:03Pardon me.
18:04I must insist that you leave here at once.
18:06You get positively freeing!
18:07That's kind of brutal, but expected.
18:11Expected? Really?
18:12The truth hurts, don't it?
18:14Sorry, but you already know you give doormat vibes.
18:18Since this is business-related, you'll need a full-fledged adult so everyone knows it's on the up and up.
18:23Unfortunately, Kyo is still a high schooler.
18:26You're gonna have to ask Toshiro.
18:28Mogura could easily pretend to do an exorcism and score some much-needed cash, but he won't.
18:32I can't imagine what he's being punished for.
18:36Sometimes his kindness is almost inhuman.
18:43Forgive the intrusion.
18:45My name is Neko Zuko.
18:46I'm the exorcist who was contacted to help you.
18:49I'm so pleased to make your acquaintance.
18:51I'm Kamenuma Kiyosuke.
18:53Why is he acting so sketchy?
18:55My great-grandfather once told me a story.
18:59He was stationed on Celibus Island, modern-day Sulawesi Island, as part of the Southern Expeditionary Army Group.
19:07A shrimpy second-class soldier had suffered major injuries all over his body, and without access to proper nutrition, his condition was expected to become critical by the next day.
19:16There was another second-class soldier, a tall and lean one, who called himself a hermit.
19:23This strange hermit said he pitied everyone around him, and was wracked with guilt over their unending suffering.
19:31He lamented,
19:32I'm not qualified to play God.
19:34Care to tell me what you just fed, Private Kirihara?
19:50Who's asking?
19:51Private First Class Oshiro Neko Zuko.
19:54You must be from the squad that just arrived.
19:57My apologies.
19:59Someone very clearly raised you up, right?
20:01First-class soldiers usually greet impudent second-class soldiers like me with a fist to the face.
20:07In my experience, this indicates one of two things.
20:10You're really smart, or really talented.
20:13It's rare for someone with your build to make first class.
20:16You look even unhealthier than me and Private Kirihara.
20:20You feel okay?
20:21Don't concern yourself with me, and stop trying to distract me, too.
20:24I'll get straight to the point.
20:26When you make it back to Japan, I want you to help my boy.
20:29Sir, you could get in trouble if someone hears you talk about going back.
20:33Do not try to change the subject.
20:36I'm very much aware you're not a normal human.
20:39Your eyes have been following the beast possessing me since I first entered the room.
20:45Each head of our family is short-lived due to possession.
20:49Doctors can't help.
20:50I'm currently 23 years old, and it's unlikely that I'll live to see 30.
20:56I have a one-year-old son back home in Japan.
20:58He's not nearly strong enough to endure possession and might not make it to 10.
21:02If whatever you told and fed to Private Kirihara truly will extend the man's life,
21:07then I'm begging you to help my family.
21:09In exchange, my family will be at your service from then onward.
21:13Please help.
21:15Even if you can only save my son.
21:18Living in this world, it's a recipe for difficult choices.
21:21But I want my son to have every choice possible.
21:24Color me impressed.
21:25Most people don't even seem to notice all my oddball ramblings, sir.
21:29You could say noticing the odd is my specialty.
21:32Take a look around you.
21:34This.
21:35This is what it means to have choices taken from you.
21:37Some people think it's righteous to help someone in need,
21:42while others believe giving up on a hopeless cause is nobler in the end.
21:47Spoiler alert.
21:48Even on your deathbed, you will never know the answers to questions like that.
21:52But this curious hermit, who himself had so few options he couldn't even choose to die,
21:58responded,
21:59This choice may lead to the greatest miracle of the century.
22:02Spoken as though to comfort himself.
22:07Spoken as though to comfort him.
