Guzoo: The Thing Abandoned by God

Since time immemorial, there has been a life form that was abandoned by God...

and followed a completely different evolutionary path from known animal species.

Although a sentient creature, Guzoo's horrid appearance and aggressive nature...

are unparalleled in the animal kingdom, which has thus shut it out from the pages of history.

Through repeated parasitism of other species,

Guzoo has the unique ability to manifest the appearance of a human, as well as lower life forms.

And now, it is once again awakening after dormant eons�

OK, let's take the picture. Look this way.

Smile. Say cheese.

Great.

Map of Muikamachi Area Hot Springs

- Where is it? - There it is. - That's it.

Let's go.

That's a long way to walk...

Let's get a drink and decide what we want to see.

- There's plenty to do here. - I want to play tennis.

- I want to go cycling. - First, the pool.

- Wow, this is beautiful! - Kachin, let's keep going.

Wait up!

She got the joker.

Oh, no way!

This one.

Nope, this one.

What an attitude!

That's not it.

Number one, I win!

I quit; I'm never going to win.

Yuka is a crybaby.

She can't bluff; her face is too easy to read.

Unless her personality changes, she'll never win.

I don't care, you always make fun of me and call me a crybaby.

That's fine, I don't play games.

Like I said, a crybaby!

You need four people to play the game, so if I don't play, neither do you.

True enough.

We're almost there.

Good afternoon, everyone. Come on in.

I'm the manager and chef here. My name is Tomoko Kujo.

Make yourself at home.

No one else is staying here, so you'll have the facilities all to yourself.

Are you Professor Takamura's daughter?

Yes, I'm Minako Takamura. Pleased to meet you.

- You're the spitting image of your father. - Really?

Yes, really. Your mouth is shaped just like his.

These are my friends.

Kazuko Osawa, pleased to meet you.

I'm Yuka Nagai.

Mayumi Kawasaki, nice to meet you.

Likewise, I hope we can all be friends.

Your room is on the second floor, on the left.

Miss Kujo, are you a professor too?

I'm a researcher. I work in Dr. Takamura's lab.

Oh, so you're also an archeologist?

Does that mean you look at fossils and tombs and stuff?

Yes, well, archeology, like natural history and other disciplines, are actually quite complicated.

Do you conduct your research here?

Yes, I wanted some time to compile all of my documents, and the owner...

needed someone to take care of the place. It worked out perfectly.

Please tell us all about it later.

Kachin is naturally curious.

More precisely, I'm a sleuth.

I'll let you get settled in your room. I'll be in the kitchen.

We're going to eat Mexican tonight.

- Let's take a picture out front later. - Good idea.

- Hey, that's cute. - Oh, yeah, it's cute.

- I brought my beach ball. - Really? - Only the top is red.

Hey, there's no mirror in this room.

I'm going to have a look around.

Come back soon, flatfoot! We want to go for a swim.

What smells?

It's a solvent I use for my research.

The chemical removes particulate matter from objects of study.

The smell is awful. I can't take it.

Your friends call you Kachin, right?

Let's respect each other's boundaries.

I know you like mysteries, but I have a job to do.

I'm sorry, I was just having a look around and I ended up here.

I understand that, but my work is more important to me than my own life.

- Please promise me you'll never come down here again. - Yes.

Well then, that settles it. Off you go.

Kachin!

I'll tell you all about archeology later.

- Don't run! - OK.

- Yuka. - Kachin.

- What is it? - I don't know.

Does it hurt? It looks like the work of a kamaitachi.

What's that?

It's an invisible weasel with claws like sickles, that lives inside of small whirlwinds.

I'm glad it didn't take out after your face.

But when you splash around in the pool, the air swirls around, making it easy for them.

You should probably stay out of the pool. We have to look after this cut.

Look, there's something shiny in the pool.

It looks like the house is surrounded by a mirror.

Wait up!

Do you want some cola?

I wonder what my face looks like now...

Two colas, please.

It looks good...

God, that stinks!

What happened here?

Help!

- What happened? - What's wrong?

Can you stand up?

Look, it's just a mirror.

Something came out of the mirror. It was slimy and it wrapped around my neck.

It tried to pull me into the mirror.

It must have been a dream.

It wasn't a dream. It really happened.

Then how do you explain the cuts on her face?

It must have been a mouse or a bat.

Ridiculous!

This area has been built up recently, but even now, when night falls, nocturnal animals become active.

You were half-asleep and when you screamed, some small animal bit you.

No, it really happened!

Look, I can't have you kids panicking all the time.

The next time you raise a fuss, I'm going to have to send you all home.

I don't care if you're the professor's daughter, I have my research.

What is it that you're researching, anyway?

I'm on the verge of discovering an ultra-advanced, but ancient civilization.

Will everyone just go back to bed now? This isn't the best time for a discussion.

I'm sorry.

It's all right, so long as you understand my position.

I'll fix up Yuka's cuts, but everyone has to go to bed.

Yuka, let's go.

Good night.

- Mayumi, are you ready? - Just a sec. - I'm ready.

This, and this.

Are you OK? Should we stay with you?

I'm fine. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night.

Have fun and don't worry about me.

Well, we'll see you later then.

I feel bad.

She'll be all right.

See you later. Bye-bye.

- Look after Yuka for us. - Don't worry. See you later.

See you.

Wait up!

I'll get to the bottom of this...

- Did you find her? - Nope.

Where could she have gone? Mayumi, you go that way.

Kachin, you check in that direction.

- Minako, could you find her? - No.

Oh, where is she?

Kachin, did you find her?

No, she's gone. This is getting scary.

Where could she be?

We should tell the police.

Miss Kujo, will you make the call for us?

We don't know anything yet. She's probably just got lost.

I'm sure someone will bring her home soon. Let's wait a little longer.

You know something, don't you? You do, don't you?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Liar! Tell us the truth.

Hold her down.

Don't touch those!

I think I know where to look. Hold her down.

No, you'll be killed!

I'm not joking! Please, let me go!

If we don't move quickly, it will be too late! You'll be next!

Let me go!

Is that what happened to Yuka?

Mom! Help! No! Stay back! No!

Miss Kujo, we've got to save Kachin!

Stay back! Get away!

The mirrors! The mirrors! Break the mirrors!

- Hurry! - I am hurrying!

The chairs, too!

Hurry!

- Mayumi! - Break the mirror!

Kachin... Yuka...

Look, a turtle.

Poor thing...

It looks like you lost a friend too.

We'll take care of you.
