CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF THE KADOKAWA GROUP

Is... Is anyone here?

Dad...

Sister...

...don't go.

I had a nightmare.

Tokyo, where I was born, was in ruins.

Are you going to sleep all day? You'll be late for school!

Tadashi, up you get!

Alright...

It had been six months since my parents' divorce.

From the window of the room that Grandpa built for me...

...the sea was calm.

That summer, I fell in love for the first time.

And...

I TOLD A LITTLE WHITE LIE.

...I told a little white lie.

What is that?

The horror... the horror...

There's a horrible war...

...coming!

The time has come.

Now is the time of revenge.

The things that humanity has used and discarded,

the spirits persecuted...

the rage shut away...

...arise now.

It's time to arise.

Arise.

Join with us.

Arise, vengeful wraith...

...Yomotsumono!

Hey, Tadashi!

Hey, what are you scared of?

Uh, nothing.

Is the little city kid scared of a spooky village festival?

Watch out the Kirin doesn't bite you.

Why?

The one it bites is this year's 'Kirin Rider'.

What's a 'Kirin Rider'?

Don't you even know that?

It's the Guardian of Peace, Friend of Justice!

The wrestler Antonio Inoki got bitten once.

It won't choose me.

The 'Kirin Rider'! Go for it, boy!

I'm home!

Grandpa, I'm home!

Grandpa!

Captain! Permission to board!

Oh? Is that Akira?

Well done!

It's me, Tadashi.

- 'Kirin Rider'? - Yeah.

The festival Kirin chose me.

They say that I'm the boy who preserves world peace.

Wow, sounds great.

- But what do you do that with? - Well...

All I won was beans and rice and a towel.

Oh. Still, that's nice.

- Grandpa must be happy. - I haven't told him.

Anyway, today he's calling me "Akira".

Oh... is he alright?

Yeah, he's fine. Every third day, I go back to being "Tadashi".

Every third day, huh?

I bet he's forgotten me.

Bless this food.

Good boy!

Tadashi?

I'm used to it. It's been six months.

Hey, it's almost summer vacation.

Dad says we might pop down and see you.

He said that last spring.

I see...

Yeah, he did.

I'll call you again.

- Tadashi... - Mmm?

Hang in there.

Yeah. See you.

- I'm back! - Welcome home!

What happened?

Were they teasing you again?

No.

Alright, then.

- Cucumber. - Thanks.

- What's this? - Oh, that...

Oh... Dad!

Ah, not that!

- What? - But that towel...

Azuki beans are good for you.

"AZUKI BEANS ARE GOOD FOR YOU." BY GRANDPA

Quiet, please! Quiet! Quiet!

Right, don't forget your summer homework.

And write those book reports.

A child who doesn't read makes a worthless adult. Right?

Yes, Miss.

And now, summer vacation!

- See you later! - Bye!

Hey, Kirin Rider! When are you going for the legendary sword?

- What legendary sword? - Didn't they even tell you that?

They know an idiot like you can't handle it.

The Kirin Rider has to go to the cave on Great Goblin Mountain

to get the Great Goblin Sword.

No way crybaby Tadashi can do that!

- Stop it. - "Stop it."

- "Stop it." - "Stop it."

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

- Watch it! - Ouch!

- Your Grandpa's here. - Again?

Be quiet!

- Grandpa? - What is it?

Akira was mom's elder brother, right?

That's right.

But he died years and years ago.

My son and heir.

Always getting in fights, never good for anything.

Do I look like him, Grandpa?

You do.

You do, in a way.

Grandpa...

Do you know Great Goblin Mountain?

Well, of course!

That's it there, over yonder.

Long, long ago, they say...

...there was an evil goblin there who'd snatch children away.

And then, he was felled by the Kirin Rider!

"I'll never do evil again," the Great Goblin said.

He changed his ways and swore allegiance to the Kirin Rider.

So then, the Kirin Rider

left the Great Goblin a sword to keep,

and bade him be Guardian Spirit to this land.

Since then, they say the one chosen as Kirin Rider

must climb that mountain

and get the sword that Great Goblin has in his keeping.

- Will you go up the mountain? - Huh?

You were chosen as Kirin Rider, weren't you?

How did you know?

How did I know?

What?

I didn't finish eating my azuki beans!

They know an idiot like you can't handle it.

No way crybaby Tadashi can do that!

"The Great Goblin's Cave... to the left."

Come in.

No way! No way!

Thank you!

MITSUYA CIDER TASTY AND NUTRITIOUS!

Driver!

A cat?

Can you understand me?

There.

Here. Drink this.

No? You've got to have something or you won't get better, kitty.

No?

Then what are you?

I can't find you in this encyclopedia, kitty.

What is it?

My shin?

Why are you rubbing my shin?

Ah! "Shin", "rub". The sprite that rubs your shins, "Sunekosuri"!

Hey, Agi!

Let me out! I'm warning you, Agi!

- Agi, are you listening to me? - Hey, Agi!

AGI

Hey, Agi!

Er... Agi?

This isn't funny! What do you want with us?

Aren't you one of us, Agi?

I'm not one of you anymore.

I will unite with Lord Kato...

...and be reborn.

What are you talking about?

I can't wait, Agi.

Ouch! Let me go! Stop it!

Hey, what are you doing? Stop playing games!

Stop it!

Stop it!

No! What the hell...?

- Don't! - Please stop!

Release your rage and bury humankind in darkness.

Yoichi!

You haven't brushed your teeth!

This won't do.

That boy...

...the Kirin Rider...

Where should we go?

Sunekosuri...

...how come only I can see you?

Why can't anyone else?

Are you a monster?

SHIGERU MIZUKI MUSEUM

Shigeru Mizuki,

one of Japan's best-known comic artists.

Shigeru Mizuki was born in 1922 here in Sakaiminato.

The yokai spirits in his work are based on Japanese folklore...

I knew it.

You're a... yokai.

But this is where it all started. And I've come all this way.

Give me a few days.

Tell the editor that. Bye.

Aren't you...

...the Kirin Rider?

Huh?

Amazing!

I'm doing some research on the Kirin dance.

I still have to go to Aoya.

You must like yokai.

Like them?

Yeah, I do.

Why do you like them?

Why...?

Why?

- Don't laugh. - OK.

When I was a kid, just once...

...I saw a real one.

Was that the only time?

Uh... yeah.

Just that once.

- Now I probably can't. - Why not?

Maybe... because I grew up.

You don't see them after you grow up?

Maybe not.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming...

Hello, Chief? Sorry...

It's on hold for now?

- Why's it been put on hold? - Things happen.

You know what publishing's like.

Unfortunately, the company's changed plans.

Would I write about goblins if I was scared of the company?

Sorry, I've got to go back to Tokyo.

Bye!

"I'll be at the Great Goblin's Cave. Grandpa."

Why?

Help!

Something's got me by the feet!

Help!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

GREAT GOBLIN'S CAVE

Grandpa?

Grandpa!

Grandpa?

Grandpa...

Huh? No way?

Hey, Sunekosuri!

Sunekosuri!

Where are you, Sunekosuri?

Sunekosuri!

Sunekosuri!

Where are you?

Sunekosuri!

Sunekosuri!

Tadashi...

What are you doing here?

Sis?

But... what are you doing here?

"Sis", you called me?

Sis!

Sis!

I see...

Does your sister...

...look like this?

Help me!

I'm sorry...

I'd like to help you...

...but...

...I'm feeling a bit...

H-h-how?

How do you do that?

I'm sorry.

Keep away!

Help!

No!

Tadashi!

Help me!

Tadashi!

Tadashi!

I can't breathe!

I don't want to die!

Tadashi! Help me!

Tadashi!

Grandpa!

You passed.

You did great.

Great, great, great!

You did very well.

A Kappa river sprite!

Sunekosuri!

Hey, that's favoritism!

The Kappa talked!

- Don't point! - I'm glad you're safe.

Go away! Go away!

W-W-Who are they?

Hey, stupid! Don't go judging by appearances!

That cute little Sunekosuri...

...and this pretty River Princess are yokai just like us!

As far as I'm concerned, you humans look pretty ugly!

I can make cute noises. Cuddle me, too.

Cuddle me, too! Cuddle me, too! Cuddle me!

Kawataro! Just stop it.

But that kid...

You did fine.

You're the Kirin Rider, for sure.

- Huh? - Sorry, sorry!

We were just testing you,

to see if you had what it takes to draw the sword.

The sword?

Do you recognize me? Huh?

- At the shrine festival! - Yes, I was leading the Kirin.

But this isn't a mask now.

Grandpa!

I've got to save Grandpa!

Tadashi! Help me!

We didn't think you'd come if I didn't do that.

Anyway, shall we go visit the Great Goblin?

No way.

Oh? Can you get home alone?

Not all the yokai are nice like us, you know.

Hell may lie ahead, but worse lies behind!

I'm Kawahime, the River Princess.

- Let's go. - Let's go!

Nothing but small fry left here.

Help me!

The Great Goblin...

Every kid dreams about a summer adventure!

I'll never make it.

You know, kid, what usually happens now

is that everyone goes, "You can do it!" as you struggle across.

Then the rotten board breaks and: "Aargh!"

And you're saved in the nick of time!

But don't go causing us all that trouble.

Dangerous, right?

Be careful...

Hey, kid! Listen!

Now, what happens here

is a huge great rock comes rolling down from above...

See?

And you run like this!

Kawataro!

He's squashed.

Be careful...

Tadashi?

Tadashi?

A sandal?

Hey...

Whoa!

You have done well.

Whoever draws this sword becomes the true Kirin Rider

and guardian of peace in the land.

So, take it in your hands.

Draw it.

I can't. I'm too scared.

What's that?

Found you.

Of all the nerve...

Very impressive.

I want that power.

Why, you...!

Great Goblin!

Sunekosuri!

Tadashi!

No! Princess! No!

Oh, Sunekosuri!

Suffer.

Hate us. Curse us.

That gives us strength.

Agi...

Yasunori Kato!

Who's he?

Come back.

Then we shall begin.

Now you and I will finally be one?

Sunekosuri!

You're awake at last.

Hey! You! Lamp-Oil!

Your head's too big. Make it smaller.

I understand.

Oil...

Lamp-Oil.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Not much of a Kirin Rider.

I know! One-Leg the Smith!

He might know what to do.

Oh, really?

He's a fine swordsmith.

I see. He can reforge the sword.

Yes, One-Leg the Smith...

Where is he?

Mirror!

Show us One-Leg the Smith!

What's that?

Mirror, show us where he is!

Sunekosuri!

What's that?

- It's that woman! - What's going on?

That horrible flame.

No mistaking it, that's Yomotsumono.

- Yomotsumono? - Yes.

The accumulated wrath of resentful things

that humanity has used and thrown away

form the raging spirit Yomotsumono!

What?

He is the resentment that humanity has earned

from those things you use no more and throw away.

You...

You threw away your worn-out shoes.

They sacrificed themselves for the benefit of your feet.

But because they were dirty or too small, you threw them out.

You humans just throw things away!

That creates Yomotsumono.

Yasunori Kato!

O effigy, so cruelly used,

and cruelly abandoned.

Be reborn in the demon realm, and take vengeance...

...with me.

You fool.

Kato! Kato!

He's brought Yomotsumono back to life!

- He wants only one thing. - What?

Revenge.

He wants to bury humanity in darkness.

So he's turning yokai into monsters?

No way! He won't get away with it!

Who does this Kato think he is?

Don't be afraid!

That's enough!

- Meeting adjourned. - Thanks, everyone.

Hey, hey, wait a minute! You have to help us!

You called me? For what?

For what? We all join together to beat Kato and Yomotsumono!

Impossible!

I'm an umbrella.

Right, Wall?

- I'm just a wall... - I know that!

But even a wall can be of some use!

Well, maybe next time.

I know you've got a job to do and I sympathize, but...

Right, then, everyone, let's go.

- OK. Bye. - Farewell.

Hey, all of you! Hey!

Wait! Wait, everyone!

It's gone numb... numb...

Well, wasn't that something? Marvelous!

Hey! You said you'd help!

I've already stuck my neck out once.

Snow Woman!

I'd help if it was winter, but this really isn't my season.

At least you'll be one who won't get away!

You... Hey!

You always act real brave

with Kitaro in those comics!

What a bunch of wimps.

Azuki-Washer?

- Will you stay and help? - Huh?

It's just that my foot's...

Thank you! You're the conscience of us all.

Well, I just...

I know, I know, you just wash beans, but that's fine.

Just knowing you're with us!

I'll wash my beans as best I can.

It's no good, we can't fight like this.

We can't win.

I'll go.

I'll go to save Sunekosuri.

Now you're looking good!

I'll be right next to you, beating my chest!

You, too...

Sorry.

Don't get carried away.

What's wrong?

- Yomotsumono has taken flight! - What? Where to?

To the city of rage!

Tokyo?

Sis!

Who is Yasunori Kato?

Originally, he was human.

The rage of the tribes that you destroyed made him a demon.

What tribes?

I don't understand.

Poor thing.

You humans live in ignorance, don't you?

Those who discard their past... have no future.

- Well? - The teacher hasn't seen him.

I left word at Kikue's.

I hope he's all right.

Can't find him!

- He's not down by the port? - And that's not all.

There's monsters all over the place. The town's in uproar.

Monsters?

These aren't rotten yet. I can still eat them.

Governor!

Ah, it's only Gamera.

We interrupt this program with a news bulletin.

Just now, Osaka Castle has been...

Too slow. Too slow!

We'll never catch him!

- I know! - Huh?

What is this?

It hurts! The dish on my head hurts!

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, KIDS!

This won't work!

This isn't funny.

Who's next?

Thank you.

I'm One-Leg the Smith, Swordsmith to the Sprites.

What is it?

Hurry up, go back to your home.

Ignore it! Hurry up!

Now's the time for a drink!

Nothing will survive after the world is engulfed!

Drink a little more.

But you amazed me. I didn't think you'd go that far.

The company president was impressed, moved to tears.

Listen, Chief, I need more from you than tears.

At least we know the project won't be canceled, for now.

It's that "for now" that I don't like.

- What's up with that? - I don't get it.

- People use the phrase all the time. - I don't get it...

- "Postponed for now"? That's an insult! - That's right.

Soon they'll understand. There'll be a boom...

What was that?

Something went boom!

Look at the size of that thing! What is that?

Oh, my food! My food!

My food! My food!

It'll suck up all Tokyo's rage and resentment!

What incredible power!

Chief?

Let's start with you.

Stop! Please don't!

You're ugly!

My promise... I will keep my promise!

Forgive me!

You won't get away!

I'll make you look really ugly.

It's enormous!

There!

Um... have you seen Sunekosuri at all?

Mr. One-Leg!

Well, he's...

Oh, no...

He's fine.

He's making everyone feel better, rubbing their shins.

Damn!

The fire's making my eyes water!

What's this?

New clothes.

You have to look the part!

MITO, TOKYO, YOKOHAMA

Have you heard?

Seems like there's something big happening in Tokyo.

Aye.

Something bigger than Tokyo Dome ate City Hall,

and all the lights went out.

Shall we go have a look?

Old Edo... how nostalgic.

Have you heard?

Seems like they're raising the roof in Tokyo!

The Tokyo Dome ate City Hall!

And it ate all the power, so the place is dark.

Dark, dark!

Fantastic! Fantastic!

Have you heard? Have you heard?

A Festival of Darkness in Tokyo!

We have to go!

Yes, I heard. That Governor sure has some great ideas.

A festival! A festival! A huge festival!

A festival! A festival!

KYOTO, OSAKA, KOBE

Have you heard? Looks like everybody's going!

The biggest festival there ever was in all Japan!

Right, let's go!

We're all going!

It's a festival!

It's a festival! A festival!

The biggest and best festival in Asia!

A festival?

Does it sound interesting?

Isn't this a bit much?

KIRIN RIDER

How's that? Now you won't drop it again.

Huh?

Tadashi?

There's too many of them!

Amazing!

Amazing!

Princess! Hang on!

Oh... Oh... Oh, no!

You monsters! You broke my dish!

I'm 319 beans short!

Not enough!

There's too many of them!

Watch out!

This won't do at all.

Look!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

What is it?

What? They've started already!

It's a circle, just like the Lantern Festival!

You all came!

What a great festival!

What did you say? A festival?

It's a fight! It's a fight!

A festival fight!

It's a festival! A festival!

That hurts! Aargh!

What the hell...? What the...?

That hurt!

Ow! That hurts! Stop stepping on me!

What a fine festival!

Kirin Rider! Now's your chance!

Go inside! Go!

What just stepped on me?

Tadashi!

What the...?

KIRIN BEER

Whose is this?

Ah, that's good!

What am I seeing?

I can see you!

Amazing!

It's a great yokai war!

Tadashi!

Look at its leg, Tadashi.

Sunekosuri?

Sunekosuri? Is that you?

Suneko...

Stop, Sunekosuri!

Stop!

- Sunekosuri! - Stop!

Stop, Sunekosuri!

Stop...

Stop, Sunekosuri!

Sunekosuri!

Stop!

Sunekosuri!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Sorry...

I won't let him...

I won't let him get away with this.

Kato...

...is going down!

I won't let you stand in my way.

Let me tell you, after all the time I've spent on Lord Kato...

...I'm not letting you get in my way!

Agi...

Lord Kato!

Put Tomio down!

But why don't they come here?

Tadashi! Where are you?

There's one!

That's 314. Only five left!

There!

Kato!

You were...

...that effigy...

Stop this! I beg you!

Stop it!

How has it been, wandering this world as a yokai?

I hate it!

Hate what?

Humans!

How much?

More than you can say?

Then take revenge.

No!

Why not?

Revenge only proves...

...that you're human.

Revenge only proves that you are human?

I won't defile myself!

That's why I save people and love them.

That's why I can't forgive you!

Well, then...

...be at peace.

There!

Only one more to go. One more...

There it is!

Found it!

I've got them all!

Tadashi!

Do you think you can defeat me with that thing?

You fool!

Agi...

...let's go.

Why?

You're in my way.

How?

The love you have for me.

That love is a hindrance.

Do you hate me?

Does your spirit cause you pain?

Then my work... is done.

I see her.

- I've found her! - Huh?

Hey!

Ah, ah! Azuki beans, I love 'em

Ah, ah! Azuki beans, I love 'em

A bean.

Azuki beans... are good for you.

What?

Azuki beans grow from love and peace...

What?

Ah, ah! Azuki beans, I love 'em

Oh, yeah! I love Azuki beans! Ah! Ah!

What the hell?

This is great!

Here it comes!

Master, this night has come to an end.

You must rejoice. It would seem we have won the war.

Huh? Won the war?

Don't be such a fool!

There is even a limit to foolishness.

Wars must not happen. They only make you hungry.

Wars sure make you hungry!

So it wasn't a dream.

What is it?

I forgot to call home.

Your mom's probably worried.

- I've never done this before. - Huh?

Stayed out all night without calling.

It's fine... you're on summer vacation.

That girl...

Do you know her name?

Kawahime.

Kawahime?

That's a nice name.

Did she...

Did she say anything... about me?

She's always...

...wanted to see you.

She was glad...

...that she finally did.

Really?

Really?

Ah, that's good!

Real good.

For the first time in my life... I told a white lie.

A "red lie" is one you tell for your own sake.

A "white lie" is one you tell for someone else's sake.

That seems to be the gateway to adulthood.

Tadashi!

Yeah?

Take out the garbage, will you? I'll leave it here.

Oh, I won't need dinner tonight.

It's Mr. Yamada's farewell party.

All right.

I'm oft, then!
