In matters relating to the world of the dead

there is an institution that judges the sins of the deceased

the Ju-Oh-Cho.

The Summons Section of the Judgment Bureau

comprises a group supporting the ministry's operating functions

by guiding the lost souls that wander the mortal world.

They are also known as...

the Shinigami.

Episode 1

Nagasaki Arc, Part 1

Summoning Department

This is the victim from the latest serial killings in Nagasaki.

How horrible.

All of the victims have puncture wounds from what appears to be fangs...

and they have lost virtually all of their blood.

Like from a vampire.

Seems like a supernatural crime.

It's precisely because this case cannot be explained that we got the call.

That's right.

Tsuzuki, I want you to head to Nagasaki right... huh?

Conference Room

Tsuzuki!

Tsuzuki Stakeout at Earth!

"Stakeout at Earth"?

She's late.

Ladies' Day Half Price Special!

Time for something sweet.

I hope they haven't run out.

Here. Sorry to keep you waiting.

All right!

I just love the smell of this caramel cream.

Thanks, Wakaba-chan!

Tsuzuki-chan, you sure have a sweet tooth, don't you?

I always make sure I have a dessert after all three meals.

It's already this late? Your lunch break's long over!

So, this is the cinnamon roll that compelled you

to skip an investigation meeting?

It looks pretty good.

Could I please have it back, Boss?

Here.

Watari!

It sure smells good. Catch!

Gushoushin...

Looks delicious! Catch!

Tatsumi...

It's not nice to tease Tsuzuki-san so much.

Ta-Tatsumi!

Thank...

Well, let's all share this.

Just a tiny piece left...

Thank you.

All right. Let's get serious now.

Tsuzuki, I want you to fly to Nagasaki right away.

Huh?

If you don't like that, I can fire you right now.

You're just an ordinary worker, with a mere 70 years of service.

I'd be happy to go, of course!

Good grief...

And, what am I supposed to look into, Boss?

There's one who hasn't died, despite reaching the natural life span.

Determining the causes

and capturing those lost souls

is the work of the Summons Section of the Judgment Bureau.

Lately, there've been names that have remained on the register.

Don't we check the number of total deaths per day here?

Exactly.

The stipulations as determined at the Hall of Candles

require one to pass into the netherworld when one dies.

However, the Ju-Oh-Cho is only able to

account for those who have died of mysterious circumstances.

As for accidents or murders involving third parties

we don't know about it until it's automatically noted in the register.

In other words, more are dying of mysterious circumstances?

That's right.

And by the way Tsuzuki, all in your district of Nagasaki.

I understand. Oh, but what about a partner?

Right. We've finally found one for you.

I'll have him meet up with you later, so go to Nagasaki first.

Until then, I'll send Gushoushin with you.

Looking forward to it.

He'll give you all the details.

Hang on, Tsuzuki.

Take this.

A send-off gift?!

They've got good sweet cakes in Nagasaki, right?

Bring some back for me.

Don't forget this, too.

Allowance book for good little boys

I won't accept wasteful expenditures.

I want you to keep your daily meal expenses down to 3,000 yen.

How can I afford dessert...

What's decided is decided.

Have a good trip.

Don't eat too much.

Welcome.

Thank you.

This fruity aroma...

Is this first flush Darjeeling, Watson?

That's right, Count.

I see...

I hope it goes well this time.

Me too.

People are different every time you see them.

Yes. That goes for Tsuzuki, and him...

It's a weird case, I tell ya.

The fang marks in the neck

and the total loss of blood.

This case is now called the "Vampire Case."

Vampire, huh?

Well, how about we fortify ourselves with a meal?

Come on! I wish you'd take things more seriously, Tsuzuki-san!

Are you all right?!

Lipstick?

Tsuzuki-san!

It was that girl!

That wasn't lipstick!

It's the victim's blood!

Tsuzuki-san!

Uh, did you see a girl...?

How embarrassing this is.

Oh, uh, don't worry...

Is there something...?

Oh, uh... Did you see a girl come in here?

With long hair?

No. No one.

Oh, I see. Excuse me.

Where is she? Where'd she go?

Don't move.

Yami no Matsuei

I think you've got the wrong person.

Put your hands up, and slowly turn around.

What? You're just a kid!

Getting held up by a kid says a lot about your carelessness.

What the...?! How did he know my exact thought?!

I don't mess around with crucifixes and garlic.

I'll play it straight and send a bullet into your heart.

Huh? Vampire-san?

Vampire?! Who?!

Don't play dumb with me. I've been watching you

lurking around here, looking suspicious.

Who on earth is this guy?

I can't jump in my human form.

And it's too dangerous to use any spells with people around.

This is the end. Give it up.

Hold it!

What are you trying to do, anyway?!

No! He's the one who's holding me up!

Shut up, Vampire.

You've got the wrong guy!

He's the one! This is your new partner, Tsuzuki-san!

Huh?

Now, let's celebrate new acquaintances!

Cheers!

Tsuzuki-san, how about a smile?

Well, I'm Tsuzuki. In charge of Kyushu.

I'm Kurosaki Hisoka.

Wh-What's this attitude he's giving me?

Boss Konoe personally decided to use him

because apparently his spiritual powers are quite strong.

That's why you were able to read my mind?

By the way, how old are you?

Sixteen.

Sixteen?

You died awfully young. Car accident?

T-Tsuzuki-san...!

Died of illness. An incurable illness.

Oh. Sorry...

Don't worry. But I have a question for you.

You're in the top career track at the Judgment Bureau, right?

So, why would an elite guy like you be a Shinigami?

Elite? Me?

Tsuzuki-san is an elite?!

This man is famous for his slack attitude

and is called "The Sugar Glutton of Hades" by his bosses!

But, Boss Konoe said...

I see. You really don't know, do you? How nice...

Wh-What do you mean by that?

The rule is that Shinigami are to work in pairs.

But nobody ever wants to partner with Tsuzuki-san.

You've got to be kidding!

No way I'm going to be fooled into working with some idiot!

I'm getting off here!

Hey, this is good.

Stop eating and listen to what I'm saying!

You ate my dumpling...

Huh? I thought you didn't want it.

Now we're even!

You don't want me to hold a grudge over food.

Especially in regard to this!

It's mine!

Extra Spicy

It's hot!

Hey, that's my...!

Oh, boy...

Come on! Lay him down there and give him some water!

All right. All right.

But why do I have to do this in the first place?

It's because you got into a stupid fight with a kid.

He can be cute if he keeps his mouth shut.

A Shinigami at the age of sixteen...

It's kind of sad, isn't it?

I'm sure this guy's got his reasons.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing dirty work like being a Shinigami.

Maybe I looked a bit childish.

Tsuzuki-san...

Tsuzuki, you stupid idiot !

Don't think you're going to get away with this.

I take back what I said!

Isn't that beautiful?

Is it some kind of festival?

Opening night for the Nagasaki Singing Festival.

I'm pretty sure it's on TV.

The opening night of the Nagasaki Singing Festival.

We're watching the fireworks go off.

And, right here, I've got with me the popular singer from Hong Kong

Miss Maria Wong!

Good evening.

Isn't she beautiful?!

That woman...!

What's the matter?

Gushoushin, could you look into something for me?

What a beautiful morning!

What's up? You don't look too good this morning, kid.

Don't call me "kid"!

I guess you're still a bit young to be drinking.

Just shut up!

That's cold.

It'll refresh you.

Tsuzuki...

That was the first time you called me by my name.

Hey!

It's not like I've accepted you as my partner.

I don't mind.

Well, I guess we'll start our investigation.

At a TV studio?

A vampire might be here. Right, Gushoushin?

Yes, just as you expected, Tsuzuki-san...

The vampire incidents and the arrival of Maria Wong coincide!

So, you think she's the culprit behind the vampire case?

That's what we're going to find out.

When did you figure all that out?

While you took over my bed.

Well, I'll be on my way.

Now that you've got your partner

I can go back to my job at the library.

Hisoka-san, I leave Tsuzuki-san in your hands.

Hey, hey!

I'm looking forward to your souvenirs!

Let's go.

Sure.

Maria Wong

Maria Wong

- What do you think? - I don't sense anything.

Maria?! Where are you, Maria?!

What are you people doing there?

Well, uh...

I just wanted to get her autograph.

This way!

H-Hey!

You know where she is?

I am able to tell from her spiritual trace residue in the room!

Right.

You're not allowed in here.

M-Maria Wong?

Uh...!

Get away from her!

Wh-What's this...?!

Maria!

A beast!

A dragon!

Stay back!

This is not for kids.

Don't call me "kid"!

Tsuzuki...

Hisoka, go and help him!

I bow to thee and beseech you.

The Twelve Gods that protect me.

Appear before me!

Come out! Suzaku!

Explode!

Maria Wong is dead?

Yeah. She's been on the register for two months.

According to information from China, it was suicide.

Then, what we saw was...

Maria, you're a good girl.

There's nothing to worry about as long as you do as I say.

As long as you do as I say.

Next Episode

In the serial murders that took place in Nagasaki

the culprit turns out to be a vampire, Maria Wong.

Who on earth is manipulating her?

We can't work on an empty stomach.

Hisoka, let's get something to eat.

We just ate!
