Yukari Tatsumiya...

Accept my power. Accept my curse.

You shall allow the curse of 2,000 years by the unyielding people

to come to fruition in your body.

DOOMED MEGALOPOLIS

THE FALL OF TOKYO

"Mountains crumbling."

This does not bode well for where things are headed.

With hard work, remove the obstacle.

Evil that will destroy the normal orientation!

A demon...

Do not disturb my sleep.

I am Masakado. Do not disturb my sleep.

Masakado Taira, who protects this Megalopolis as a guardian god,

show your real character as a wild god. Join me, Yasunori Kato.

I, I am...

Wake up, Masakado!

During your 2,000 year long sleep,

you might have forgotten your hatred for this city; have you?

Masakado, why don't you accept my request?

I have already executed the magic of the Hidden King.

The child who inherits my curse

will become a possessed being superior to you.

As we thought, what Kato did to Yukari...

Kato molested her, didn't he?

Yes. I am sorry.

Is she pregnant with Kato's child?

I can't clearly say no.

In that case...

You want me to perform an abortion?

If we don't do anything about it now,

the Tatsumiya family will become a laughingstock within society.

I won't be able to explain it to my late parents.

I understand that you're considering the honor of your family.

However, why can't you have more consideration for your little sister?

Brother...

Yukari!

I didn't know Mr. Hirai's condition was that bad...

Yes. The wound caused by Kato is healing, but...

For Mr. Hirai, who strongly dedicated his life to protect the honor of the way of Onmyo,

it must have hurt to lose the battle the other day.

Exactly.

On Mr. Hirai's orders, I've been investigating Yasunori Kato's background.

He was a first lieutenant in the infantry corps.

Just as I thought, he was in the army.

However, first Lieutenant Kato died

in the war about twenty years ago at Dalian.

Killed in action? At Dalian?

Both of them left.

Their message for you was to please take good care of yourself.

I see.

Mr. Hirai!

Extra!

Extra, extra!

Extra, extra!

The Emperor has passed away! Extra, extra!

The Meiji era is over...

Your highness, Hirai will be close to you now...

YEAR OF THE PIG

Why?!

An order from the top. The emperor has passed away, and times are changing.

We have other things more important than the Megalopolis lmprovement Plan.

No, no...

No!

This is my job!

It's mine! Mine!

To: Mr. Koda

Mr. Hirai did?

July, the year of 1912. This is my will.

Regarding the investigation of First Lieutenant Yasunori Kato,

the following is the information I've gathered.

Lieutenant Kato's birthplace was Ryujin Village in the Wakayama prefecture.

According to the legend, Ryujin Village was also

the birthplace of Seimei Abe, and at the same time,

the Tsuchimikado Family also came from there originally.

Ryujin Village is a holy place which is famous among people.

The one who founded that place was the ancestor of asceticism, En-no-Ozunu.

You can go to the back of the forbidden place, Mt. Koya, from the village,

therefore, the legend says that Kohbo-Daishi Kukai

got a message from Nanda, the Dragon King, in a dream and opened the place.

There is no Kato family in Ryujin Village.

There is no Kato in the ancient documents.

However, this village is close to the place where ascetics

have trained, and there were many rumors in that village

about strangers who sometimes appeared

in the nearby mountains and used magic.

I believe Kato is the descendant of the ancient people

who never obeyed the founder, and he inherited both

the curse and the magic of the Kibi.

The only other key to solving the mystery of Yasunori Kato, is the curse.

That's it.

Curse?

Is he telling me that his hatred for the Megalopolis Tokyo

is the only thing driving Kato?

YEAR OF THE PIG

Twelfth year of the Taisho era (1923)

In the circle, in the circle

A bird in the circle

When can it get out?

In the night, before the sunrise

A crane and a turtle came across

Who is right behind you?

Mother!

Yukiko, don't you have any intention of going to middle school?

It's obvious that going to school is a lot better

than having a fledgling teacher like me as a tutor.

Mr. Narutaki.

I don't know why, but I feel very good today.

Mr. Hirai, the Megalopolis is shaking...

Thank you. Have some drinks.

Yes, sir. Thanks as always.

Somebody? Somebody there?

Eh, the school, huh?

You go this way, and you will go over three bridges,

then you will see a big zelkova tree.

After you pass that tree, you will find it easily.

I see. Thank you very much.

What's going on? There are so many snakes appearing recently,

as if they came out of hibernation.

Not just snakes.

Pond carp are jumping around, and at my landlord's house,

there were no mice at all, and he feels weird.

I see. I wonder if these are some kind of signs...

Don't kid.

Hi, Mr. Narutaki.

Mr. Terada!

When did you come back from Germany?

I came back in spring.

I didn't expect you to quit college.

Well, I can't be a wanderer forever.

I see. Well, to each his own.

By the way, this is the reason why I came to visit you.

A series of quakes in the center of Marunouchi

- What is this? - I know you already recognized it.

Recently, there have been many quakes in this city.

The center of the quakes seems to be Marunouchi.

Marunouchi?

So, I want to put a seismograph in the back of the Ministry of Finance.

You have a friend who works at the Ministry of Finance, don't you?

Can you ask him to get me approval to do so?

What?

Be careful.

Yes.

Good.

But it's such a coincidence that the series of quakes are happening,

and that the Masakado Mound seems to be at the center.

People are saying that these quakes might be the curse of Masakado.

Is there anything behind this series of quakes,

like the forerunner of a huge earthquake or something?

We can't ignore the possibilities,

but each of these quakes is very small.

Oh, I almost forget to tell you. There is another place

where a series of quakes is happening in the same cycle as here.

Can you guess where it is?

Dalian.

Dalian? In China?

Yeah. Dalian and Tokyo.

They are about 2,000 kilometers apart.

They are that far apart and they are having earthquakes at the same time...

Is it really possible?

Well, you know the resonance phenomenon, don't you, Narutaki?

No matter the substance

everything has its own vibrational frequency

based on the characteristics of its material composition.

Two substances which have the same vibrational frequency

react to each other very strongly.

You can't be saying that Dalian and Tokyo are...

Exactly. If they have the same vibrational frequency,

we can explain why the quakes are happening at the same time.

If so, I think this series of quakes could have started in Dalian.

Dalian?

And if it was caused artificially...

BAD OMEN

Kato is...

Yasunori Kato is coming back!

Just looking at them, they are an ordinary mother and a daughter.

Yeah...

What's the matter?

You're thinking about the quakes in Dalian, aren't you?

Do you think it would be ridiculous

if Kato were the one pulling the strings?

I see. You lost a ball which he gave to you...

Hey, play with us!

Hurry up! Mother!

Mother!

Now, your turn.

In the circle, in the circle

A bird in the circle

Why did Kato make Ms. Yukari deliver Ms. Yukiko?

When can it get out?

In the night, before the sunrise

Don't say things like that, Mr. Narutaki. In the night, before the sunrise

A crane and a turtle came across

Yukiko!

Yukiko!

Yukiko!

Mother!

Mr. Kamo!

Yukiko!

I've got the fortune telling results.

Kato, Kato is coming, isn't he?

Today is Kinotoi. In other words, today is the combination

of the second calendar sign, "Kinoto", and "I", the pig, from the zodiac.

It's the best day for Kato to return to the city.

Probably, Kato will appear at the Masakado Mound at 10 pm tonight.

Mr. Koda, I...

No, the Tsuchimikado Family is prepared to go down with the evil Onmyoji.

I know I won't be able to see the conclusion.

I would like you to see the whole thing through until the end.

It's "Kimon Tonko" sealed magic.

Once someone gets inside of there, even if it's Kato,

it won't be easy to get out.

Yukiko Tatsumiya...

Come.

Come to me.

My child.

Yukiko!

A remnant of the Tsuchimikado?

Disappear!

Mars has appeared.

The unfathomable god who rains down upon the Earth,

governs the will to murder, and annihilates all things.

The megalopolis has the gate of death now!

What's the matter, Mr. Narutaki?

Yukiko, she was taken by Kato...

Here he comes!

Yukiko!

Oh, no!

Don't!

Yukiko!

Yukiko! Yukiko!

You executed the Kimon Tonko sealed area. You are shrewd.

If the seal on the mound is destroyed,

the Kimon Tonko Sealed magic will be destroyed. Right, Mr. Kamo?

Can't you do something now?

To send Kato to Hades is the earnest wish of the Tsuchimikado.

Please forgive us.

Without being able to rescue the life of a little girl,

how can I believe in the Tsuchimikado? What kind of earnest wish?

Please forgive us.

Mr. Narutaki, go to the mark on the keystone!

Destroy the mark!

Please don't!

Yukiko!

Fools. You destroyed your Kimon Tonko magic yourselves.

You evil bastard!

Mr. Hirai!

Mr. Hirai! Please help me!!

Yukiko Tatsumiya...

Accept the soul of Masakado in your body

and make Masakado wake up.

Wake up, the wild god Masakado!

Don't disturb my sleep!

Don't...

Don't ever disturb my sleep!

The underground dragon has awakened.

Now not even Masakado can stop it.

The Megalopolis will be ruined.

Masakado!

Yukiko!

Yukiko...

Hey, somebody, somebody!

Sunday, September 1st, 1923, at 11:58 am.

The Great Kanto Earthquake occurred.

74,000 people died.

200,000 people went missing.

411,000 houses were burnt.

350,000 people were suffering.

The fire that started at the same time as the earthquake

made the damage worse, and that fact made people despair.

However, the quake was a natural disaster, and

people have to change their anger and despair

into energy in order to recover the Megalopolis Tokyo.

There are only a limited number of people who know,

that this huge disaster was caused by Yasunori Kato.
