Ghost Sweeper

How is it? Did you figure out which pan needs to be repaired?

No, I can't find anything.

This is so strange. It doesn't look like a meteorite collision.

But look how it's interrupting the satellite broadcasting. What's causing this?

Wh..What is this?

C..Could this be an alien?!

What?

Ghost Sweeper in Space!!

Yes!

Who is it?

We're from Hinomaru Satellite TV.

I'm not going to pay for the reception fee

because I don't watch any programs on your station!

W..We're not here to collect the reception fee! We're here for your services!

My services?

Th..That's correct.

Are you sure I don't have to pay for it? If you lie to me, I'll curse you to death!

A monster in the communications satellite?

Please take a look at this.

It was taken from the shuttle the other day.

At first we thought it was an alien, but...

No, that's not it.

It's a kind of gremlin.

That's what we figured too.

What is a gremlin?

It's a small devil with wings. It's a kind of monster from Earth.

During World War I,

they caused the airplane pilots a lot of problems by vandalizing their aircraft.

How scary!

Malfunctions caused by gremlins are called "gremlin effects".

Gremlins love playing with and vandalizing machinery.

Maybe he couldn't figure out how to get off of it.

No way, that sounds like a cat.

I was just...

Oh, I get it! That's why the reception on the Hinomaru Satellite channel has been bad!

Actually, we were just watching something on the channel earlier,

and wondering what was going on. Isn't that right, Miss Mikami?

Anger Anger Anger Anger and wondering what was going on. Isn't that right, Miss Mikami?

Y Y Y Y

Anger Anger Anger Anger You idiot! That was absolutely unnecessary!

You idiot! That was absolutely unnecessary!

I don't watch Hinomaru Satellite TV.

Please help us!

If it becomes completely unusable, satellite broadcasting will face a major problem!

But we think you can do something about it, Miss Ghost Sweeper Mikami!

[She starts off strong at $9,600,000!] One billion yen! The fee is absolutely nonnegotiable!

[She starts off strong at $9,600,000!] But if you don't like it, go talk to NASA or something. I don't care.

But if you don't like it, go talk to NASA or something. I don't care.

Now the training in preparation for the space trip has begun!

I can't believe she asked for one billion yen for this gig.

But what's more surprising is that they actually accepted it!

I guess there's a lot of money out there to be spent.

Stop mumbling and run! We don't have much time left before the trip into space!

If you don't train properly, your body won't be able to handle it!

Why do I have to do this with you anyway? Geez!

Someone, help!

Come on, Yokoshima, keep going! If this gig goes well, I'll give you a raise.

That was a good workout!

L..l don't think it's necessary for me to do such harsh training like this with you.

Remember, I'm underpaid and have poor nutrition?

What are you talking about? YOU are the one who's going into space!

What... What did you just say?

What? You didn't hear me? Okay, I'll tell you again.

Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

YOU Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

ARE Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

GOING Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

SUFFERING IN Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

TO Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

SPACE! Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

Yokoshima, YOU ARE GOING INTO SPACE!

So, Miss Mikami, what have you been training for all this time?

I've gained some weight lately.

I've lost two kilograms! I did it!

No way! I'm not going into space, no matter what!

There are still so many things I haven't done on the Earth! No!

HINOMARU SATELLITE TELEVISION There are still so many things I haven't done on the Earth! No!

HINOMARU SATELLITE TELEVISION

It will be just fine!

No! No! No! It will be just fine!

These days ordinary businessmen go into space to teach class!

That's not my point! I don't like the method! I've got a problem with the method!

What? It's just a simple out-of-body experience!

Your body will remain on Earth while your spirit goes into space

so you have nothing to worry about.

No! It doesn't make any sense!

I don't want to let my spirit leave my body and go into space!

You're a man, aren't you?

No! No! No! I don't want to die!

Please say I don't have to do it, Miss Mikami! I'll do anything!

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

Hello, everyone! Now it's time for Special Breaking Report Deluxe!

This is absolutely unprecedented!

Meet an astronaut who goes into space using the out-of-body method.

That's right, and this courageous young man is also going to try to get rid of a monster!

His name is Tadao Yokoshima!

Tadao Yokoshima His name is Tadao Yokoshima!

Tadao Yokoshima

Tadao Yokoshima Enjoy this ultimate super documentary!

Tadao Yokoshima

Wh..What is this about?

It's a live TV show.

They bugged me to let them broadcast this live in exchange for paying me.

I didn't know they were brewing a plat like this behind my back.

Hello!

We're the reporters!

The Hinomaru sisters!

Today we're going to get up-close and personal with this super cool young man,

who stood up to eliminate the scary monster that's been possessing the satellite!

Up close and personal?

You'll be a hero if you make it back safe and sound.

Your stupid little dream might come true.

Mr. Yokoshima, have you ever been afraid of going into space?

No, I've never been afraid of it.

Someone must do it, that's all.

You're so cool!

You're very brave!

Dead or alive! This is a life-or-death challenge indeed!

Given the fact that this is obviously dangerous, what's driving him to go this far?

The time has come!

Mr. Yokoshima is entering the launch pad, no, I mean, the magic circle!

What's going through his mind right now?

A sweet life is near...

What are you doing, Okinu?

I'm coming too, as a charumeraman or something.

You mean, as a cameraman?

Are you guys ready?

I'm good to go!

Here we go.

Use the power of Heaven and Earth, the soul of Takao Yokoshima...

...shall be released from the shell of his body...

...and reveal itself!

Leave the body now!

That hurt! What did you do that for?!

I am...

You successfully left your body!

Come on, if you take too long, your body might die and you won't be able to return to it!

Okinu, give that to him.

Okay.

Wh..What is this?

Something that's guaranteed to come in handy when you get rid of the gremlin.

What is this thing that looks like a tail?

A soul cord.

As long as you're attached to it, you have nothing to worry about,

so try to come back while your body is still in a state of apparent death!

I'll be back even if you ask me not to come back!

Good luck!

Mr. Yokoshima, wait!

Now Mr. Yokoshima has made a great stride forward!

What awaits him? Don't die, Yokoshima!

We'll be waiting for your return!

If you die, let's wander around together!

Everyone's saying whatever they want because they don't have to do it!

Well, the color of the sky is changing from blue to dark navy blue.

This is Yokoshima.

Can you hear me?

Yes, I can. Over.

The soul cord is getting skinner.

Are you sure my body is really okay?

The vital signs are getting weaker.

Don't worry. Being healthy is all you can brag about, remember?

Yeah, that's true, but...

Come on, hurry up.

The wind of energy, the sun wind, should be getting stronger soon.

Your soul doesn't weigh much, so be careful.

Roger that.

For some reason, my back feels warm and soft.

I wonder if being dead feels like this?

You must be able to feel it

because I'm holding your body in order to communicate with you.

H..Holding my body?!

Is everything okay, Mr. Yokoshima?

Curse you, my body! How dare you hog all the fun for yourself?

The vital signs are getting stronger.

Do you have any idea who you owe your good health to?

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

He sure has a lot of energy.

The wind is strong.

This must be the sun wind Miss Mikami was talking about.

What happened?

Mr. Yokoshima!

Help me!

Are you okay?

No! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

It's okay now. The wind calmed down.

I think we're safe.

I told you! You need to be more careful!

I'm okay!

Cripes!

It's pretty...

So, the Earth is blue.

She's cute.

But shat still a ghost...

But if I get rid of the gremlin, I 'll be a hero!

All kinds of flesh-and-blood chicks are going to be mine!

That's sweet! it can't get an y sweeter than that!

Mommy, is this the gremlin?

It must be!

Hey, where is the gremlin?

I can feel a spiritual wave!

It's coming from way over there. It's approaching this way very quickly!

But I don't see anything.

It must be the satellite you're looking for!

It's moving very fast, so be careful!

Okay, roger that!

Mr. Yokoshima!

The soul cord! It's going to...

No! No! No!

If it gets cut off, you won't be able to return!

I don't want to die! No! No! No! No!

It's the gremlin!

Help me! D..D..Don't come near me!

Mr. Yokoshima has finally encountered the unknown creature!

Can he succeed in this mission?

Good luck to you, Mr. Yokoshima!

No! No! Don't come near me! Get away from me!

M..Miss Mikami, what am I supposed to do?

Go away!

Something's wrong, a gremlin shouldn't be that vicious.

You say so, but look at it!

Mr. Yokoshima!

Don't do that!

Th..That's my soul cord! Stop it!

Don't bite it! Let it go!

Hey, you, stop it!

Hey, stop it! Let go of Mr. Yokoshima!

The camera! What's going on?

It was getting good!

Miss Mikami!

You do understand what will happen if the broadcasting gets cut off

and you fail to get rid of the gremlin?

[$9,600,000 gone if he fails.] You can forget about the one billion yen compensation,

[$9,600,000 gone if he fails.] but expect us to ask you to pay for the damage instead!

But expect us to ask you to pay for the damage instead!

Okinu, get the camera! Hurry up and go get the camera!

But Mr. Yokoshima is...

Who cares! Just hurry up!

O..Okay!

Come on! Don't give me that! O..Okay!

Come on! Don't give me that!

What's going to happen to my...

Yokoshima, open your backpack.

You have a weapon!

All right, a weapon.

What the heck is this?

Play the tape! Gremlins have a weakness for a beautiful singing voice.

I see! He's weak against songs, huh?

Now that I know your weakness, the ball is in my court!

Now I'm definitely going to be a hero!

Die, die, die! Die already! Turn it on!

Th..There's no batteries inside, Miss Mikami!

Looks like there was a mistake in the planning.

Why does stuff like this happen to me all the time?! Help me!

No, no, no! Don't come! Don't come! Get away from me! Get away from me!

Oh, no! Oh, no! Mommy! Help me! Help me!

Doctor!

Sorry, he's gone.

Where am I?

Mr. Yokoshima! Over here! Hurry up! Mr. Yokoshima!

Come over here, Mr. Yokoshima! Hurry up and cross the bridge!

Hurry up and come over here please! Mr. Yokoshima! Come on!

Yokoshima! Don't do it, Yokoshima! You can't go over there!

Miss Mikami?

It's going to be okay! Hurry, over here!

Yokoshima!

No, this way.

Yokoshima, come this way.

I like you so much. I love you, so come here.

Miss Mikami!

Yokoshima, hey, wake up!

He came back to life!

Come on, get it together!

One billion yen... one billion yen...

Wake up, Yokoshima!

Stop it, Miss Mikami! Stop holding me so tight!

So, you got it, Yokoshima?

"Got it"? What are you talking about?

The gremlin, you know. Hurry up and get rid of it.

Gremlin?

G..G..Give me a break! That thing is going to kill me!

Don't come this way!

Sing a song!

You can sing something without the tape, can't you?

What song am I supposed to sing?

Hurry!

Mi..Mi..Mi..Mitchan michi michi unko tare... Mitchan pooped in her pants...

Could you be any dumber?

Help me!

Kono ko no kawaisa kagiri nashi There's no limit to the cuteness of this girl

Yama dewa ki no kazu hana no kazu Just like the number of trees and flowers in the mountains

Okinu?! Yama dewa ki no kazu hana no kazu Just like the number of trees and flowers in the mountains

Yama dewa ki no kazu hana no kazu Just like the number of trees and flowers in the mountains

Kono ko no kawaisa yoruzora no hoshi no kazu yori mada kawaii The prettiness of this girl is greater than the stars in the night sky

Thank god, I'm saved!

Are you okay, Mr. Yokoshima?

It's okay now, everyone. The gremlin is...

Oh? An egg?

Could it be the egg of the gremlin?

I wonder if she attacked me, trying to protect this egg?

Now I feel sorry for her.

It's a baby!

Hey, stop it, I'm not your mother.

Come on, now...

It's so cute.

So, the baby is now attached to you.

We can keep the baby, can't we? I promise I'll take a good care of it!

I guess it's okay, but look at that.

All the VTR tapes are ruined!

It's all because of the little monster you brought back with you!

You'd better pay for the damage!

I curse you, stars!

This is how Mikami and the others came to start raising the baby gremlin!

Mother gremlin must be watching over them from somewhere in space.

Ghost Sweeper Mikami

There's an old ruined mansion abandoned among countless skyscrapers.

A monster appears in the mansion,

but neither Spirit Stone nor talisman is effective against it!

What's going on?

I wonder why it's bound to this particular location?

Ghost Sweeper Mikami: "The Howling of the Haunted Mansion"

I will send you to Heaven!

The Howling of the Haunted Mansion! I will send you to Heaven!

The Howling of the Haunted Mansion!
