Ghost Sweeper Mikami

Let the hair flow in the wind

A sexy bodY

If I jump around in this town in my high heels

Big money coming, yeah!

At the foot of the skyscrapers

The trap of anachronism

If they're dangerous and frantic people

I'll send them all to Heaven

My darling techniques

You can keep whichever you like

Bye-bye sadness, and find out

You have nowhere to go because you're a ghost

Bye-bye sadness, and find out

I'll find you now

Ghost Sweeper

Absorb!

Thank you for your business!

[$670,000 for 10 minutes of work.] I made 70 million yen for ten minutes' work! That gig wasn't bad at all, huh?

All you had to do was to strike a final blow. Of course you'd think it wasn't bad at all.

On the other hand, I'm exhausted because I was on a stakeout all night last night!

Don't be pathetic. You're a man, aren't you?

Look at Okinu. She's full of energy!

They're so small and cute!

Miss Mikami! Mr. Yokoshima! Look at what I found! These dolls are adorable!

I feel sorry for them, so I'm taking them home with me.

Before you question my manhood, remember you're comparing me to a ghost.

There's no way a flesh-and-blood person can compete against a ghost and win.

Well, let's see, I guess I'm going to take a hot shower and get my beauty sleep!

If that's the case, please allow me to accompany you!

I, Tadao Yokoshima, when it comes to stamina, I'm still...

Bye! Goodnight!

Mr. Yokoshima, are you okay?

G..Go ahead with the episode title...

The Empire of Haunted Dolls!!

Aya... Aya...

Who is it? I'm sleepy.

Aya, help me! Help me, Aya!

You must be Moga! My Moga!

Help me, Aya! Aya!

Moga! Where are you? Tell me!

Moga!

GS MIKAMI Moga!

GS MIKAMI

Miss Mikami, what are you doing?

This is awesome...

What made you elbow my face all of a sudden!?

Because you were staring at my breasts!

Oh, so you knew.

Of course it was very obvious! It was written all over your face anyway!

Look.

What? Look.

What? Naughty!

Why are you fortune-telling?

For some reason, I've been feeling my spiritual power aching since this morning.

So, I decided to do some fortune-telling, but...

If your female hormone is aching, then I will...

Oh?

Wh..What is this?!

What? What? Did it say the man in front of you would become your partner for life?

Hey, Yokoshima, this is not the time to be joking!

Do you have any idea what kind of "ke" I got?!

"Ken?

[She means "ke" as in "reading". He says "ke" as in "hair".] "Ken?

[She means "ke" as in "reading". He says "ke" as in "hair".] Speaking of ”ke'i..

Speaking of ”ke'i..

Blonde or brunette...

As you can see, Yokoshima's head is filled with thoughts of women!

Boys and girls in front of the screen, no matter what you do,

do not grow up to be an adult like him!

Listen to this, it doesn't matter how little money I'm going to make,

the client who comes and visits me today will destroy me if I turn down their request!

What?

This is just unbelievable! If this isn't cruel, I don't know what is!

We should hurry up and close for a day like this!

We're temporally closed today!

Yokoshima, put the closed sign at the door.

Okay. Why don't I lock the door while I'm at it?

I'm back!

I'm sorry! Are you okay, Mr. Yokoshima?

I apologize...

You don't have to apologize that much, Okinu!

That was nothing to him anyway.

B..But...

Oh yeah, Miss Mikami, this is going to make you happy!

I've brought a customer!

A customer?

I happened to meet her on my way to do the shopping.

Please come in, Aya!

Hello!

H..Hello...

What do we do, Miss Mikami?

No, no, no! Just not today! Lock the door, Yokoshima.

B..But...

I said, “Lock the door!”

[Around $480,000 for it.] Oh, no! This pot cost me fifty million yen!

More importantly, you might have been seriously hurt if it was a few inches off!

It looks like I can't just send her away, huh?

So, you want me to go find Moga, right? You mean Moga as a dress-up doll?

When I was playing at my home, a ghost came and took my Moga away.

A ghost? Did it look like me?

No, it looked a lot scarier than you.

So, it looked more like this lady?

Oh, come on! Don't take it so seriously! I was just joking, you know.

So, where did the ghost come from?

It came in from the window. I saw a thick smoke and...

a pale-looking face came out of it.

Come...

Come...

Moga!

Come on, now come with me.

Come on...

Moga, don't go!

Come on...

Moga!

Moga!

Then, all of a sudden it got really dark. When I woke up, Moga was gone.

So scary! That sounds like a real horror story!

It's not a horror story! It's a real story!

What?

I bet Moga was forced to go with the ghost!

That's why she asked me to save her in my dream!

Please, lady!

I'll give you all the money that I have! Take this money and bring back my Moga!

[Roughly $2.80.] 1, 2, 3... three hundred yen, huh?

1, 2, 3... three hundred yen, huh?

Lady!

All right, all right!

Because of that fortune-telling reading,

I have to go to work for only three hundred yen.

Oh, I have a stabbing pain in my stomach!

GUT-WRENCHING FEELING

GUT-WRENCHING FEELING Stabbing pain in the stomach... We also call it a “gut-wrenching feeling" feeling!

GUT-WRENCHING FEELING In other words, the sadness she's feeling is as horrible as a gut-wrenching feeling!

In other words, the sadness she's feeling is as horrible as a gut-wrenching feeling!

I'm home!

Oh, Aya! Where have you been since this morning?

When you leave the house, you need to let me...

I'm coming in.

Wh..Who are you?

Don't worry! As soon as I saw your house, I knew you don't have any money.

Aya, who is this rude and flashy-looking woman?

A Ghost Sweeper.

What?

Madam, now that I'm here you have nothing to worry about.

You don't have to have any money.

As long as you have love...

Today we're offering a special deal!

We'll provide the service for only three hundred yen, so don't worry!

Hey, don't pop up like that from such an obscure place.

But you stopped walking all of a sudden, Mr. Yokoshima!

Hey, you two, what are you waiting for?

This gig doesn't pay anything, so let's hurry up and get it over with.

It looks like I don't have to search it since this house is so small.

Aya's room is upstairs?

Yes.

Let's go, Aya.

Excuse me, be careful not to scratch the walls!

It might be small, but we finally had this house built!

So, this is your room, Aya?

Yes.

I see, ghostly spirits are in the air.

So, the pale-looking ghost must have come through that window.

Yokoshima, give me the Spirit-Viewing Goggles!

Okay.

There's a hole in the window that leads to another world.

It must have opened a few days ago. It's not closed all the way yet.

What is "another world"?

It's a different dimension, the spiritual sub-space...

It's another world somewhere. It could be the monsters' nest.

Monsters' nest?

L..Let's not do this, Miss Mikami.

You wouldn't want to die for three hundred yen either, would you?

You can't walk away. It's going to destroy me otherwise.

We have no choice but to do it.

That's right!

But in case you die,

I'll teach you what it is to be a ghost since I have more experience than you!

I wouldn't want to know such a thing!

Listen, Aya, you stay here and wait for us.

I promise you that I'll bring your Moga back.

Okay!

Let's do this! Are you ready?

Yeah!

I'm not ready, but I can't disobey Miss Mikami!

The door that leads to the another world, open the path and receive us!

They disappeared...

Oh yeah, Moga asked me to save her!

She might not come back if I'm not there with them!

Wait, Miss Mikami! I'm coming too!

Miss Mikami! Mr. Yokoshima! Okinu!

Where did you go?

Everyone!

Moga! My Moga!

Turning... Turning... Turning... Turning...

I don't want to get lost, so...

I can feel Miss Mikami's body temperature.

I'm so happy, but Okinu an my back has no body temperature.

I feel cold..

So, this is it.

Wh..What's in this place?

An old woman that looks like a snake? Or a raccoon monster?

They're here. They have come here.

Humans are here.

M..Moga dolls?

There are so many of them.

Dolls are standing, talking and walking!

They're not just dolls.

They're being controlled by some powerful spiritual force.

So, Aya's Moga doll is among them?

That's right, she might be somewhere.

Oh my! I was wondering who you were, but it's you, Reiko Mikami!

What... How do you know my name?

Long time no see, it brings back memories.

Long time no see?

Don't tell me you are...

Even I can't get turned on by a doll.

We used to play together, remember? You forgot about me too?

Reiko Mikami We used to play together, remember? You forgot about me too?

Reiko Mikami

My Moga doll?!

Okay, Moga, let's get you dressed in a pink dress this time.

You left me abandoned in the toy box for a long time.

I was so lonely.

I thought that I just misplaced you.

But how can she talk?

Because I was with you for a while,

I was able to absorb some of your psychic power and became alive!

So, it's all Miss Mikami's fault?

Shut up! That couldn't be helped!

You haven't changed at all since you were a little girl.

Mind your own business!

If you're my doll, then listen to what I say and go back to the toy box!

I can't do that. What do you think I have gathered so many friends for?

Instead of humans, we're going to rule this planet!

What?

We'll turn humans into dolls.

And we'll dress them up and play with them.

Isn't that wonderful?

If humans are going to be dress-up dolls, am I going to be Moga's boyfriend, Tadao?

You're so dumb, her boyfriend has to be handsome.

Since you're ugly, you'll be perfect for a houseboy.

Her personality is just like Miss Mikami's too!

But apparently she's paying attention to things.

Give me a break!

I can't let one of my belongings do stuff like that to me!

That's just unacceptable! That would be too self-destructive!

Um, but I don't think that's the point.

You don't have to worry about stuff like that because you're going to be our first doll!

We won't kill you so you need to do what we say.

We'll only take out your soul and lock you up, that's all.

L..I've got a question. What's going to happen to a ghost?

How can you sound so laidback at a time like this?!

It won't hurt, so just surrender.

No way! I don't want them to take away my soul!

You don't know when to give up, do you?

What makes you think I'll let some dolls manipulate me that easily?

Just bring it on!

You won't be talking big like that for long.

Stop it!

What?

Aya !

You must have followed us.

Lady, please don't hurt the dolls!

But these dolls are...

Don't get carried away too much, because you'll regret it later.

Surrender, you're going to be our doll!

Don't get close to me!

Tell me who wants us to take their soul first?

Don't touch Aya!

Miss Mikami! Miss Mikami! Please do something about this!

Find the leader doll from earlier!

I need to exorcise my doll that's controlling these dolls!

But the person who's very guilty for giving the doll a soul is right here.

I didn't really mean it though.

Shut up! Just forget about it! More importantly, go find the leader doll!

There are just too many of them...

And on top of that, they all look the same, so I don't know which one is which.

If I'd known this was going to happen,

I would have demanded Aya's mother

give me the title of her house in exchange for money!

L..l can't believe you.

What's the point of worrying about profit at a time like this?

That's my Moga!

Moga!

My mom made the dress you're wearing!

Moga, it's me! I came here to save you!

Please! Please come back to me! Moga!

Moga!

Aya !

Moga!

Aya... Aya...

Moga!

Aya, so you came to save me.

Where's your leader? Where's my doll? Tell me!

Aya took good care of me.

She's right here! She's right here!

You're the new doll. Hey, let me go!

She's right here, hurry!

Even though you're my doll, I think you went a little too far with this!

Dust to dust! Soil to soil! Dolls must return to dolls!

Are you okay, Aya?

Yes!

Moga!

My Moga...

We're back...

But what about those dolls?

They must have returned to their original owners.

So, your doll too?

Yeah, she should be in the toy box.

She won't start moving like that again, will she?

You're sure about that, right?

It will be fine.

I'll wrap it in a talisman.

I threw away so much money!

[$480,000 and $960,000 respectively. $1,440,000 total. She has no profit.] A pot that costs 50 million yen and a talisman that costs 100 million yen...

[$480,000 and $960,000 respectively. $1,440,000 total. She has no profit] And my profit is...

And my profit is...

Oh well, this isn't so bad for a change, I guess.

However, can we truly say everything is over?

Anything else? Are you sure you don't have anything else?

Now that I think about it, my teddy bear and frilled lizard have been missing too.

Please stop it! I'm scared! I'm seriously scared!

Who knows, somewhere out there another doll might be... Huh?!

Ghost Sweeper Mikami

Trouble occurs with a communication satellite that travels around the Earth!

This seems like a work of a gremlin!

Now it's come to this, Yokoshima, you get to go to space!

What?! Why does it have to be me?!

You don't know when to give up, do you?

Ghost Sweeper Mikami: "Ghost Sweeper in Space"
