Original subtitles

The meaning �Kototama� stands for word with spiritual power.

The word can controls any natural phenomena and also the destiny of humans.

During a marriage ceremony, avoid saying words like break off or finish and so on.

Word may cause prophecy. Is this really just the past superstitious?

In the beginning there were words.

Heaven gifted Genjo here with the Word as a weapon.

He has the power to manipulate people like puppets by the mere

act of voicing his Word.

Even Nature can't defy his Word of command.

There is a traitor in this room.

Lighting... strike now.

My name is Yamada Naoko.

I'm bright and very talented magician.

I have yet to work on my popularity though.

Don't bother to come tomorrow.

This is your last day. BYE!

I lost another contract today.

And I have to go home to the same old run-down apartment.

This is my mother. Yamada Satomi.

She teaches calligraphy to the children in Nagano.

If you put your heart into it...

Your prayers will come true.

Write!

My mother comes from a southern island called Kokumon-to, and

has shaman blood running in her.

Her words hold mysterious powers, so politicians running

for office come to her to have their office signs written.

or office come to her to have their office signs written.

Don't get me wrong, Sensei.

It's your thought that counts.

How about this?

That's fine... if this all your thought is worth.

What are you doing?

I'll be winning the lottery in Brazil soon

so I should be able to pay you the rent next week.

I have to talk to you about that.

I was planning to renovate this place by changing the flooring

and installing an air conditioning system so that I can charge five

times the rent I am charging now.

But that fell through because of a national project.

That's good.

I gave up on renovating the place and will just raise the rent

from 18.000 yen to 21.000 yen.

Please give me a break.

Jami and I have our life plans.

I am happy to just have you and these two children.

That's not good enough for you, Darling.

I changed the lock,

It's dangerous in this area with all the burglaries,

so someone advised me to change the locks.

Can I get the new key then.

Pay your rent first.

Then you can have the key.

That's not fair.

Ueda?

Why are you inviting me along to a resort hotel?

I wanted to relax for a change.

I published another book. It's in the back.

It contains my thoughts and experiences as a single person.

"I've denied the existence of magic until now, but...

I've denied the existence of magic until now, but...

That was a lie.

"I know a secret spell that has the power blow away"

"any of your problems."

"Stand before the mirror and repeat yourself... "

"Why don't you do your best?"

It's not something you can read without blushing.

In Shibuya, the youths cherish it as a bible.

With Donto 1, Donto 2 & Donto 3. All are very popular.

I hope this resort hotel that we are going to isn't

like the strange inn in Mutsuhaka village.

Look at that. Does that look like a dingy hotel?

This is fantastic!

Sushi... Sukiyaki... Matsutake mushrooms...

It's all you can eat!

I became acquainted with the developer of this hotel.

So he invited me over.

Don't you want to know how I got to know him?

No.

It's a funny story.

I said I don't want to hear it

You will do as I say.

There are five balls here.

Blue, yellow, green, purple and red.

Pick a ball of your choice.

I say you will choose red.

Go on.

See?

Did you make this?

Going back to what I was saying earlier...

That developer said there is a man who can manipulate the

people and Nature with his Word.

Aizawa Sokushi with Nihon Kuniju Kaihatsu?

It's Aizawa Sokufumi.

We're working on a resort development amidst a forest

in Gabi village in Nagano.

Nagano?

But we encountered a problem.

A man named Shibakawa Genjo claims that the forest is

a sacred spot and that anyone who tries to defile it will

receive Heavens punishment.

Then he and his followers started squatting in the forest.

We tried to chase him out.

But he possesses strange powers.

When he voices a command...

Everyone does as he says.

He's probably using a form of hypnotism.

He's made lightning strike...

Mountains change positions.

The men working on the development have met with mishaps too.

Such as accidental deaths or injuries.

Please come to Gabi village and confront that Shibakawa Genjo.

Please expose him as a fraud.

When I received order from my superiors. They wanted me to sneak into Genjo�s group.

In order to expose his fraud.

But...

You will one day end your own life.

Whether to end our life, is determine by our own decision.

That correct, so funny.

Ya. So what is next?

So the next thing is, we are going to Gabi village.

Oh i see...What?!

We are going there to solve the mystery.

But i thought the resort hotel was already build?

(Upcoming Resort Hotel. Uncompleted project.)

Stop the car. I want to go home.

You also can not go back home.

True. But how do you know?

Because, I was the one who advised your lady landlord

to change the locks due to the burglaries.

Is me. Is me.

GABI VILLAGE

The Word contains power and love and attracts insects.

Cherish the insects.

Welcome to the bear ranch.

What is this place?

Let's pretend to believe in Genjo's words and investigate.

Don't say anything unnecessary.

Then don't bring me along.

Why, it's Dr. Ueda!

I'm Kito, secretary to Genjo-sensei.

How do you know my name?

From your three books of "Donto Koi Chojo Gensho."

Oh. I see.

Are you here to expose Genjo-sensei?

I swear I'm not here for that.

His powers are real.

He can manipulate you like a puppet if he wants.

I've been waiting for you.

Please excuse me.

Please have a seat.

They are my comrades.

These two are local construction contractors named Inoue Shinichi

and Inoue Shinji.

And he's Eto, a landlord.

This is Dr. Ueda, who wrote the books on "Donto Koi."

Did you draw in your eyebrow?

There have been many strange incidents after they came.

Many of our comrades got into accidents during the construction.

They must be responsible for the mishaps.

We came here to obtain the evidence on them, but

they are too much for us to handle.

There are so many bugs!

They're called the "Guts Ishimatsu" bugs.

They're quick to come around When there are sweets.

"Guts Ishimatsu" bugs?

This is nothing compared to the poisonous bugs in the forest called

the "Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsuckers.

The Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsuckers?

A bite from it could cost you your life.

Why are you secretly spraying insecticide?

Genjo told those poisonous bugs not to bite them,

the protectors of the forest.

But to mercilessly attack the traitors.

That's ridiculous.

This tastes awful.

Who are you?

Will you behave yourself?

She's my assistant. Yamada.

She has flat breasts as you can see, and...

Hey!

She has a poor, warped soul as well.

She doesn't compliantly listen to anyone.

In fact, she refuses to do what she's told.

That's very promising.

Sensei, don't let your guard down.

You're surrounded by enemies.

They make big donations to Genjo to get what they want.

I paid Genjo 500.000 yen for this.

500.000 yen?!

I paid 500.000 yen too.

I paid 500.000 yen, too.

I paid 523.000 yen.

That's just a fraudulent religion!

Ethnologist Minakata Kumasaku?

I studied ethnology under Dr. Yanagida Kokuo for many years.

I have something to show you today.

It is a picture of the statue of the gods elephant,

which comes from your home island, Kokumon-to.

If you burn incense and offer your prayers to it,

the big ears will listen to your prayers, the big feet will

recreate the world to your wish and the nose will give you all the

wealth that you want.

This has saved your island from many disasters until now.

I've never seen it before.

I see.

I'll go elsewhere.

Stop!

Who are you, really?

You're not an ethnologist.

It is time for his Word!

The ritual is about to begin.

They select a number of people to participate.

Be quiet!

There was a "be quiet" child in my class in grade school.

Be quiet!

Don't you feel strange?

It feels like the ground is shaking.

It must be because of the "Shibasaki" incense.

Shibasaki incense?

They're trying to use its scent to cloud our minds.

Be quiet!

The great Genjo is here!

Be quiet

Was he in there all along?

I'm feeling dizzy.

It's the "Shibasaki" incense!

Long ago. the Word had the power to change the world.

But now people take the Word lightly,

And as a result, they've been abandoned by the Word.

and the power have been lost.

Let me simplify it by using these cards.

Why cards?

Look. The suits of these cards are all black.

But when I tell them to change to red.

they will instantly turn red.

Turn to red.

Does this appear to be hypnotism to you. Dr. Ueda?

There's probably a strong magnetic field nearby.

So before the light from those cards reach our eyes...

Wait a minute. That was just a card trick.

You lightly glued the red cards atop the black ones.

You spread it out to show us the black cards.

and then told them to change to red.

You had the red cards cut slightly smaller so that

they wouldn't touch your fingers and would fall.

The back cards fell under the red ones.

making it appear as if the black cards had changed to red.

What proof do you have?

Show me the cards.

You switched the cards in your pocket, didn't you?

Be quiet! It's unsightly to dwell on the details!

Let me show you something more interesting.

Open the window!

Look. Starting from the left

are Genkotsu-yama. No-yama and Tanuki-san.

I will make one vanish.

I'll give the Word!

What is this smell?

Mountain, disappear!

No-yama vanished.

Does this look like any trick to anyone?

It's not scientifically possible for the mountain to move like that.

Shinji, are you all right?

Yes. I'm fine.

I'm sorry. He has a weak heart.

I suddenly have an urge to die.

What are you saying?

That's what they want to you to think.

You must convince yourself that you wouldn't choose death.

You have to do your best!

I would never choose death.

Say it again.

I would never choose death.

Again!

I would never choose death.

Do your best!

I would never choose death.

How did the mountain disappear?

That was just an illusion that they created.

The mountain hasn't disappeared.

Open the window!

We only see two mountains.

Are you all right?

Why?

Let's go.

Will you come here.

This "Shibasaki" incense is strange.

Sniffing it doesn't do anything.

Earlier, it seemed as if the ground was shaking.

I wonder what this is.

A gap.

I know that.

I'm talking about the character "u" and the arrow.

I get it!

It wasn't the incense making us feel as if

the ground was shaking...

Maybe the floor really was shaking.

What?

They lifted that shed.

After we went into the shed, they lifted it with a big crane.

We thought the ground felt shaky because of the incense.

Then they showed us the scenery outside while we were in the air.

At the time, we could see three mountains.

Then they closed the window. burned more "Shibasaki" Incense.

Mountain, disappear!

And then chanted the Word to make the mountain disappear.

And then chanted the Word to make the mountain disappear.

Then the crane lowered he shed to its original position.

Then the crane lowered the shed to its original position.

The forest in the foreground hid the shorter mountain.

Leaving only Genkotsu-yama and Tanuki-san.

This shed was constructed for the purpose of a deceptive trick.

As they repeatedly lifted it and lowered it, it created that gap.

Those are marks to put the shed back into its original position.

They sure put a lot of time and effort into it.

How did they create the lightning though?

When Genjo gave the Word for lighting to strike, it did.

He didn't create lightning.

He just timed it to when it was expected and gave the Word.

The timing seems too perfect.

How can it be so coincident?

He probably had a tape playing the thunder sounds.

Then he bided time until the lightning really struck.

Then show it to us.

What?

Do what Genjo did.

I'll give you the Word for the weather tomorrow.

Tomorrow... rain...

is not in the weather.

So what is the weather?

You're just making an ambiguous statement.

Wait, everyone.

Attention!

I'll make that cloud disappear.

Cloud, disappear!

Are you sure about this?

Elongated clouds like that don't keep their form for long.

It just takes a little knowledge to deceive them.

Three hours later...

It'll disappear soon.

Ueda!

I think I'll take a bath after dinner.

A secret talk?

Yes, that's right.

The statue of Gods elephant,

If you pray to it, your prayers will be granted.

Don't you have it?

The power of your Word must come from this elephant statue.

The Word contains God's spirit.

I have no reason to depend on this elephant statue

that comes from an unknown island.

I'll buy it from you for ten million yen.

This elephant statue has that much scientific value.

Ten million yen?

We can't sell you what we don't have.

This is a creepy village.

There sure are a lot of bugs!

It's crazy to build a resort hotel in this area!

There are poisonous bugs living in this forest.

They only attack liars.

That'll be convenient for us.

We'll bring the suspect here put that poisonous bug

in front of him and make him confess before it bites him.

That won't serve as evidence.

Why not?

It's unconstitutional. According to section 3. article 38.

any confession obtained through force, torture or threat

will not be accepted as proof.

Be quiet. Tokyo University graduate. You know.

Is that real hair?

Thank you!

Your life is...

Don't you feel like we are being followed?

What?

There's no one around. Let's get going.

Did your clothes get dirty?

A sense of foreboding.

You will choose to die.

Who's there? Is there someone out there?

You will choose to die.

So you are police detectives.

Thank you for coming such a far way.

I'm sorry that I cannot offer you much.

What is that?

A spider. Please don't let it bother you.

I am a Tokyo University graduate.

You look like a villain.

I just want to protect his forest.

Please have this to eat.

It looks like sweets, but...

Its ordinary sweets.

Can't you do something about these bugs?

They're "Guts Ishimatsu" bugs. Aren't they cute?

They are the treasures of this village.

What brings you here today?

We haven't done anything wrong.

A year ago, a developer from Tokyo...

Tried to build a resort hotel here. using huge sums of money.

As if to block that.

Your group came here.

A lot of strange accidents started happening.

A construction crane fell on a person.

A truck transporting gravel had a brake problem and

went off a cliff.

We suspect your group is responsible.

Yes, we are.

When Genjo told the crane to collapse, it did just that.

When he told the truck to go off the cliff, it did.

Does that make it a crime?

How can it happen by just his ordering it?

If he gives the Word for hair to grow, it will grow.

What was that?

I can ask him to grow your hair for you.

That has nothing to do with me. This is my natural hair.

But I do have a friend who has a hair loss problem.

I'll hang around for a while.

Is that right?

It's crooked.

Roast meat.

Steamboat.

Noodle.

Ueda? Is it time to eat?

What happened?

Mr. Aizawa committed suicide.

Excuse me.

Mr. Aizawa!

His eyebrow is missing.

He's dead.

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Is it you again? So what are you doing here?

Sensei, you're here too.

Mr. Ueda is here to expose Genjo's fraud.

Unfortunately, this is a case of suicide.

When I arrived, the door was locked from inside.

I broke the glass window to come in and investigate.

And l concluded that he locked the door from inside

and drank the poison.

We found traces of a strong poison on this glass.

I'm a Tokyo University graduate. Science major.

I can taste the difference in drugs and poisons.

Did you lick it?

But he didn't seem suicidal last night.

In fact, he was saying that he would never choose to die.

You made him say that.

This is a will.

I choose to die... I have no fear.

And that, is my will.

That's what it says here.

What ugly handwriting.

Be quiet!

Mr. Aizawa followed Genjo's Word and chose to die.

Dr. Ueda was not able to prevent it.

Isn't it about time you came to your senses?

Aren't you his allies?

Brother! Don't be fooled!

He's definitely a fraud!

But Shinji....

Dr. Ueda will surely expose their fraud!

Big brother...Shinji...Big brother...Shinji...

What beautiful brotherly love!

I agree.

You two are famous in Gabi village for your closeness.

Way back when you were a delinquent...

You'd beat up anyone who picked on your kid brother.

He has a weak heart. It's my duty to protect him.

That was just the time when...

You will kill your younger brother.

What?

You will kill your younger brother.

We'll see you again then, detectives.

There's a nice bear ranch nearby. Stay there.

Well call you when there's another case.

We can't just let...

True. We can't do anything until a crime takes place.

Don't worry. I know you wouldn't kill me.

Don't cry, Shinji!

But look what happened to Mr. Aizawa.

Mr. Aizawa didn't commit suicide.

They killed him.

There must be a trick to it.

It looks like they burned "Shibasaki" incense.

These are still new.

There are more on that side. Is it for Christmas?

How do you conclude that?

Don't tell me he went crazy after smelling this.

But that incense doesn't have that kind of effect.

Why is it messy in here?

He must've struggled In pain before he died.

It takes time or the poison to kick in.

Oh. I see. So you don't die instantly after drinking it.

What is this doing here?

This is the glass that he drank the poison from.

Did he bring it here from somewhere else?

It was probably always there.

These glasses are all the same.

He poured the poison into that cup and drank it.

Was it a liquid poison?

That's right.

So?

What is it?

This isn't a will.

What is it, Yamada? Hurry!

I was about to rest in the bear ranch.

Mr. Aizawa didn't commit suicide.

They murdered him.

I hope you have proof.

Say he did commit suicide...

How did he bring the poison here?

He had no container to hold the liquid poison.

He could've poured it directly into the cup and brought it.

But that doesn't make sense.

It'd mean that after he drank the poison, he brought the cup

here and lined them up nicely with the other cups.

What are you getting at?

These cups were placed here by someone beforehand.

If it's lined up nicely with the other cups.

it wouldn't look suspicious.

Mr. Aizawa was poisoned outside of the cabin.

The poison doesn't kill you instantly.

First, the culprit threatened him in some way.

Afraid, he ran out of his tent and took shelter in the cabin.

Then you detectives found the cup with the poison.

It'd seem as if he drank the poison on his own, after

locking the door from inside

There's no guarantee that he would run into this cabin.

The culprit set it up so that he would run in here.

How?

By burning "Shibasaki" incense all over the place.

He was under the impression that the "Shibasaki" incense

would trigger anxiety.

That is why he looked for a place that would keep the

incense smoke out. And this cabin wasn't.

What about the will? That was written by him.

This isn't a will. You just assumed it was.

I will choose death... I have no fear.

You shouldn't have broken up the sentence into two.

It should've read, "I have no fear to choose death.

And that is my will.

In other words, he's saying he wouldn't commit suicide.

That was his message to us.

I get it. Tomorrow... rain... isn't in the weather.

It's just play of words.

How confusing!

Shibakawa Genjo... I have seen through it all!

Wait a minute!

That flat-breasted woman has no proof to back it up!

I can understand her feelings of wanting to doubt me.

I'll let you experience how it feels to be manipulated.

Tie that professor up.

Me? Why?

I haven't said anything.

How about a challenge?

Pick a color of your choice.

I say you will pick the yellow card.

If you choose another color I'll admit to the fraud.

But if you pick the yellow card I'll take that professor's life.

I'm a national asset for my intelligence.

I'm going to take the Nobel prize next year.

You, say something!

You're going to give the world a huge loss.

Let go of me, scums!

Pick one.

Yellow!

Pick the one at the end! The red one!

Yellow!

Pick the red at the end! The red one!

Brilliant blue! Be a cool woman!

White! As in pureness!

Black!

Not that one!

Don't pick that one!

I don't believe this.

Why?

I say you will choose the yellow card.

Now do you see how powerful Genjo is?

Get that big professor!

I caught a Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsucker!

Let's get out of here.

Let me borrow your arm!

After them!

Stop!

Don�t we always work together and solved many problem?

But most of the time, I was the one solving the problem.

Why do you choose the yellow card?

I'm not sure what happen.

Magnet.

It must be the magnet.

They must be using some kind of magnet to attract the ring.

I'll usually wear diamond or red ruby ring...

green ruby or other types of ring.

Today I just happen not wearing any ring.

You don't even own a single ring.

Why make such a boring lie?

Maybe that guy really has such power...

Let's go.

It's creepy.

I wonder where the exit is.

Let's rest at that shed.

I met someone famous while I was traveling in the Soviet Union.

Are we going to sleep out here?

Those poisonous bugs could be anywhere.

Are you worried? Then repeat this line to yourself.

It'll give you instant courage.

"Why don't you do your best?"

It doesn't have any effect on me.

Do you have something to burn?

This.

Light up.

That was fast!

I'm a distant relative to Mamiya Rinzo.

You will kill your younger brother.

I wonder if Shinichi will be all right.

Something is bound to happen again.

If I go back, they will take my life.

Thanks to you.

His powers are real.

There must be a trick to it.

Why was your body possessed?

I'm sorry.

The Great Japanese Red-spotted House bugs are dangerous.

It's called the "Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsucker."

Let's take turns standing guard.

The one who pulls the longer one gets to sleep first.

So cold.

So freezing.

Udea.

Let's go back and challenge Genjo agian.

Let the forest has a forever peace.

Mr. Ueda, your hand...

The bugs are attracted to the sweet smell of the sap...

The "Guts Ishimatsu" bugs?

Let's move on.

Don't touch me!

What made him regain his spirit?

Wait for me Ueda.

Hey, Ueda!

What's wrong? Did that sensei leave you behind?

I've been wanting to have a good talk with you.

My powers are real.

No. You're a fraud.

Don't you think it's strange?

You have the blood of spiritualist in you.

You are my comrade.

No. I'm not.

You're just afraid to find our true self.

That is why you're taking offense.

You'll eventually become foes with that nitwit professor.

Please tell me about yourself.

When did you awaken to your spiritual powers?

Long ago, I was seriously ill.

Hey, stop! I'm not done yet!

What did you just say?

Did you tell me to stop.

If you want me to stop, then stop me with your Word.

If I can go without stopping, then it is my victory.

The Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsucker is on your back!

You can die from its bite!

Help me get it off!

It's my victory.

Darn! I can't believe I fell for that trick!

The statue of God's elephant?

God!

Elephant!

Mother?

We don't know anything about it.

I'm not asking for it for free.

The person who finds it will get this amulet.

Is that of any use?

How dare you! Watch!

Those who believe... will benefit!"

This is the true power of the words.

Can't you read this?

Genjo just states the Word fend it happens.

He's far superior than you.

Hey!

I am so mad. Curse you all.

Hey, Yamada!

She's so slow!

Hey, Yamada!

Mr. Eto?

Dr. Ueda Jiro, boy am I glad to see you!

I thought you ran off without me.

Did something happen?

Inoue Shinichi and Shinji disappeared last night.

Maybe it turned out as Shibakawa Genjo said it would.

What's that voice?

It might be Inoue Shinichi.

I am such a stupid fellow.

Shinichi! What happened?

He had a weak heart.

So I was supposed to protect him.

He's dead cold. He was hit on the head.

Please take care of Shinichi. He shouldn't be left alone.

All right.

Shinichi...

What happened?

Don't move!

What happened?

There's nothing in the back.

What's there?

He's dead from a blow to the head!

Does that amuse you?

What's going on?

We know who the murderer is.

Shinichi, you killed your younger brother, didn't you?

Did you do as you were told?

Arrest him.

Thank you!

Wait a minute. I'm sure there's an explanation for it.

Who cares!

He confessed to it!

A confession is good enough reason for an arrest.

Run. Shinichi!

You're definitely not the culprit!

Dr. Ueda Jiro. here, will solve the mystery!

Just bear it until then! Run away!

Are you interfering?

Arrest him quickly!

Stop!

Police Detective, let him go.

That's not very artful.

A "geisha" without "gei" (art) makes her a plain "sha" (person).

I don't get the meaning of that.

You only did what I said.

So you are not to blame.

Go ahead and run away.

What are you saying?

Let me give you a word of caution though.

If you go straight ahead, you'll come across two gates.

One is white and the other is black.

Up ahead of the black one is a dangerous steep cliff.

If you take that route, you will surely meet with death.

Now, go on.

What you just did is...

What was it, Tokyo University graduate?

Assisted in an escape.

Which makes you guilty, too.

No, that's not true.

He won't make it safely.

What?

I must give my Word now.

That man will...

choose the black gate route and die.

You'd better run after him quickly.

He might have fallen already.

Wait! Dr. Ueda!

What're you doing? Let's go!

I don't want to get my clothes dirty!

The "Guts Ishimatsu" and poisonous bugs are in there!

I have the insecticide here!

I'll go first!

Mr. Eto!

He runs very fast.

Hey!

It got in my hair!

Mr.Eto...

Which way do we go?

Hell choose the black gate route and die.

Did he go that way?

Why would he choose the dangerous route?

He must've gone this way.

He didn't come this way.

If he did, he would've left footprints.

I won't hit my head again.

A cliff.

Look there!

Mr. Inoue!

I don't believe it! Why?

When you came, Shinichi was crouched, and holding on to this?

Is that right?

Yes, it is. I saw him, too.

That definitely makes him the culprit.

There's evidence of it. with his confession.

Then he tried to escape.

But he fell off the cliff and met with death.

Case closed.

Walt a minute.

He just gave the Word of a future occurrence.

And they had no direct pari in it.

The culprit just did as was predicted.

The law cannot punish them for it.

Let's go.

Kikuchi, your life is...

Now, do you know what Genjo's power is like.

Don't bother us again.

Goodbye.

Let's give up.

They were punished for trying to do a resort development.

Thank you for everything.

I finally found my way out!

I went to Niigata by mistake!

Farewell. Japan Sea!

Mr. Ueda!

Where were you?

Thanks to you, I ended up embarrassing myself again.

Why did you leave me behind?

Where are you going?

Home.

Everything happened as Genjo said.

Ueda! Do you really believe it?

Isn't it frustrating?

Coward!

Shinichi was told not to take the black gate route.

Yet he did.

Could they have switched the colors of he gates before

you all arrived here?

They had no time to do that.

Look there. The painting was done a long time ago.

It's more like gray them black.

Gray?

What is this?

Lick it.

Why me?

It's not poisonous if the "Gushiken" bugs are eating it.

They're called the "Guts Ishimatsu" bugs.

So it wasn't poisonous.

Hey!

It's sweet.

Sweet?

Why aren't you licking it?

It's tree sap.

It was probably watered down.

What is this doing here?

They're attracted to sweets.

They've changed the color of the gate after all.

Not that one, but this one.

What are you talking about?

We think that gray-colored gate is black because

this one is white.

But if this white gate was jet black...

Shinichi would've thought this was the black gate.

and that gray-colored one is white.

That is why he chose that route, thinking it was the

safe, white gate route.

And before you could come here after Shinichi...

the color was changed from jet black to white.

You cant change the color of the gate instantaneously.

They used the "Guts Ishimatsu" bugs to do that.

What?

They had coated the white gate with tree sap beforehand.

The "Guts Ishimatsu" bugs were attracted to the sweetness.

The gate covered with the bugs would make it seem black.

Just like this part here.

They go through far extents!

When Shinichi came to this spot, he thought this was

the black gate and that was the white gate.

That is why he chose the other route.

The question is, how did they chase away the bugs

that were on the white gate?

I know what happened.

Mr. Eto went ahead of us. spraying the insecticide.

That must've scared away the bugs on the gate.

What's the matter?

I saw a woman standing there.

She was hoIding the statue of the God's elephant.

There's a reward for ten million yen on it.

Hey!

That's odd.

Maybe you saw Wrong.

No! I did see it.

There really is a statue of God's elephant

It's dangerous on that side.

Ueda! Hang on to me! Don't let go!

Oh. That�s right.

I forgot to mention something.

What?

About the time, you chose the yellow card during

the challenge with Genjo...

I solved that mystery.

I know why you chose the yellow one.

Don't you want to hear it?

That doesn't matter now, does it?

While you were asleep last night, I took a look at this.

It's not a plain yellow card.

There was the amount of 30.000 yen written behind it.

You were blinded by the money and chose that over my life.

How could they resort to such a dirty psychological trick!

Let's get Genjo together!

You chose the 30,000 yen over my life.

You've got it wrong!

I thought it was a larger amount.

I'm hanging by a finger!

Ueda, don't let go!

It's low.

I shouldn't have panicked.

Who is she? A female spy?

How do you reach that conclusion?

I'll ask to borrow the statue.

Are you stupid? Why would she give it to you?

Are you a female spy?

We did it, Ueda! We can get ten million yen for this!

We can eat our fill!

Don't get so excited.

What if it really has the power to grant your wishes?

I'll test out.

Almighty Elephant.

This is the tunnel that Shinji was killed in.

Hello? Hello!

This doesn't work.

What did you wish for?

Shut up!

Let's hide it.

This should do it.

No one can find it now.

How obvious can it be?

We just have to look for that man looking for this statue.

I'll open a bank account.

Ueda?

Its been bothering me all along.

About Shinji's death.

When we came. Shinichi was crouched right there.

The branch he had was smaller than the one that

Yabe and the others found.

I'm sure of it, since I took it from his hand.

It was more this size.

"Guts Ishimatsu" bugs!

It's sticky.

Tree sap. That's odd.

This type of tree doesn't have sap.

Maybe this was the one that Shinichi had in hand.

What?

You didn't wash the tree sap off your hand that time.

When you took it out of his hand, it must've transferred.

What about the one that Yabe and the others found?

Dr. Ueda Jiro and Flat-breast!

What are you doing? Just forget about the incident.

Genjo is surely a fraud!

Who knows what he might do if you defy him any further!

I'll stand watch here.

So Shinji was lying here.

Ueda, look.

It's Shinji's diary.

SHINJI'S DIARY

How obvious can it be?

He must've left it behind

My body is getting numb.

Was that the "Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsucker?"

Brother is Eto 'ni' (resemble)..."

He doesn't resemble Eto.

Read it right. It says that he is being fooled by Eto.

Genjo's powers are...

Genjo's powers are not real.

Brother is being fooled by Eto.

Does that mean that Eto is actually with Genjo?

When you went to that spot with the black and white gates.

he was the one spraying the insecticide, wasn't he?

He was chasing away the bugs by the gate on purpose.

My body is getting numb.

Was that the "Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsucker?"

Wasn't Shinji hit in the head?

Wait a minute. Maybe Shinji wasn't dead when Eto and I came.

What if he had just collapsed from a bite of that poisonous bug?

Eto rushed right over to Shinji.

And he made sure that I didn't see the corpse.

Eto made you think that Shinji was beaten to death.

But after you left, he beat Shinji to death.

And he switched the bloody branch with the one that

Shinichi was holding.

Shinichi didn't be this brother to death.

When he saw his brother lying on the ground.

He assumed he was dead.

And we assumed he beat his brother to death.

We'd better catch Eto now.

Aren't you the one who killed Inoue Shinji?

So you've finally figured it out.

What good timing for all of you to be here.

I've seen through it all!

You'll both disappear from the face of the earth today.

Does it have to be today?

As you surmised. Eto is with us.

And so were the Inoue brothers, in the beginning.

We planned to create a paradise here under Genjo.

You just want to collect money from people by displaying

fraudulent miracles.

Flat-breast, that's very honest of you.

That's one way of thinking.

But the real estate developer. Aizawa, came long.

He infiltrated our group to investigate us.

He tried to get the Inoue brothers to switch sides.

So there was a need to display Genjo's powers all over again.

That is why we had Aizawa die...

Per Genjo's Word.

And we fixed it up to look like a suicide.

Shinichi quickly switched back in fear of Genjo's powers.

But his younger brother. Shinji. was too stubborn for his own good.

That is why I devised a plan for Shinichi.

I told him to do as Genjo says and teach Shinji a lesson.

Shinichi naturally had no intent of killing his younger brother.

He threatened Shinji with the branch and confined him.

He only pretended to kill him.

But according to Shiji's diary.

he was bitten by the Great Japanese Red-speckled Bloodsucker.

Didn't you set that poisonous bug in there to bite him?

Stop laughing.

There's no such bug in this forest.

You just assumed it was in there.

It wasn't Genjo's power that prevented us from being bitten.

We had just secretly drugged him with sleeping pills.

He must've written that diary after it started taking effect.

Then he fell to sleep.

When Shinichi saw him lying on the ground, he panicked and

thought Shinji was dead.

Shinichi knew that his younger brother had a weak heart.

Shinichi thought he caused his brothers death.

So Genjo's powers are fake?

Yes. of course.

He was originally a middle school teacher.

He was a fervent teacher.

He would lecture to his class about all kinds of things in life.

But the children nowadays weren't interested in that.

The students called him all-mouth and ridiculed him

for not being able to carry out anything he preached.

That is why he lost it.

He seriously believes even now that he's a supernatural being.

Yabe! Tokyo University graduate! Did you hear that?

Arrest them!

Let me go, fool!

Kikuchi!

He fled. He's smart.

Tie them up.

Stop it!

What is all this commotion?

They insist that you are a fake.

You should show them our real powers now.

They don't learn, do they?

Die in the fire.

They plan to burn us to death? What period are they living in?

I'm a police detective!

Please spare me!

Please extinguish the fire!

The statue of God's elephant!

What?

I found the statue of God's elephant.

If you spare my life. I'll sell it to you for 8.000.000 yen.

Do you know where it is?

Ill spare the one who tells me where it is first.

It's on the left side of the tunnel where Shinji died, and

is marked with an arrow sign!

Fools!

Thanks for telling me where it is.

Light it!

Liar!

I don't believe this!

Stop it!

Wait! I have a few last words.

Give up already!

It's something embarrassing. Can I have some privacy?

Her words have no power.

Let her have her last few words with him!

Let's take a minute break!

Mr. Ueda, thank you for everything until now.

I have a lot to apologize to you for.

But can I say something in the end?

Why don't you do your best?

Why don't you do your best?

Here is my best!

I'll do my best!

It's the Hulk Man!

Hold him down!

Go!

Ouch!

I'm scared!

You can't move.

You cant move!

You're under arrest!

Untie me!

The people created words.

That is why they must be cherished.

When the words are tainted, so will the people.

When the words are erased, so will the people.

Will you untie me?

Words are life itself.

I didn't think that line would really do it.

It was quite embarrassing. Put on your clothes.

They weren't much.

The shock must've taken the strength out of them.

Untie me!

Hey!

What are you going to do with that now?

We don't know where that man went.

There's another foolish person looking for this.

My greedy mother.

I'll just sell it to her.

Look, a firefly!

Where?

Where did you get this?

We searched all over for it for you.

Thanks.

Wait.

It won't be for free.

We risked our lives for it.

I know Mr. Ueda is going to want something for it.

It's a fake statue that was in our storehouse.

A suspicious man came here, looking for it.

So I wanted to find out what he was up to.

So I took this statue there, loitered around his vicinity

to lure him to that cave.

Then someone hit me in the head from the back.

When I came to. the statue was gone.

THAT HURTS! RETURN THE ELEPHANT STATUE!

I thought I heard a woman's voice at that time.

It must be that sweaty-looking man!

How do you know what he looks like?

I went through danger to get this for you. Mother.

I'm grateful to you.

This will now tell me what he was scheming.

I hid an IC recorder in it.

IC recorder?

Whoever got it would voice his wish to it.

It's voice activated.

So his words would be recorded in this.

I've seen through it all!

Let's listen to it.

Almighty Elephant.

Please make my breasts full and beautiful...

This doesn't work at all.

What did you wish for?

Shut up!

There's another foolish person looking for this.

My greedy mother.

I'll just sell it to her.

What is the meaning of this?!

Udea.

Mr.Udea, what happened to your face?

I was tackled in the tunnel.

Udea!

Naoko!

Udea...Naoko...

Stop it.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry for all the trouble she causes you.

I'll heat the bath water now.

Please don't bother.

Oh Mother.

You...!

How could you try to take money from your mother!

You were in on it from the beginning!

I'M WORRIED

I don't want to see you again!

Let's do this then.

I'll sit in the front of the bus so you sit in the back.

We're still on the same bus!
