It is well-known that
the famed magician Houdini
exposed a number of fake spiritualists in his time.
However,
his true goal was to find a real spiritualist.
He wanted to communicate with his late mother,
though his wish went ungranted.
On his deathbed,
he told his wife:
"If there really is an afterlife,
after one year, I will definitely find a way
to contact you.
I hope you'll be able to hear my call."
One year later,
various spiritualists gathered
to wait for Houdini's call from the dead.
However,
even by 12:00 am,
they were unable to hear from Houdini.
In 1908,
a massive fireball appeared over Russia
and left a blast radius of 30 km.
This is the remains of that explosion.
Even a hundred years later, the cause of the event is still unknown.
But in recent years, there has been a theory
that the explosion was caused
by combustible gas
that leaked from underground and into the sky.
So now, it's time for you to discuss
any possible reasons behind the event.
Listen up, from this lecture hall,
in order to produce enthusiasm
for scientific discoveries,
we must keep our feet nice and cool.
As such, I'm always wearing
sandals.
An enthusiastic class wearing sandals ...
sandals ...
are righteous!
Super beautiful, genius magician's death-defying escape,
and an evening with jumping dolphins?
Yes,
Yamada-san, your hands and feet will be tied up and placed inside a black box
30 seconds later,
there will be a massive explosion.
Oh, I see.
About your pay ...
It's about 500,000 yen when you add it up.
5 ... 500,000 yen?
I see.
I've never been paid so little for a performance.
But if you insist on me performing ...
You have to pay for my transport fee!
You're pretty good.
Although I only put in 7 minutes of effort
you still managed to keep up with me.
Oh, not at all.
I'm not even close to Ueda-sensei.
How do you know my name?
Ah, I forgot to tell you.
My name is Kagami, of the Murakami Trade Company.
Kagami ... something-or-other.
That's the company chairman.
Note: The signs ban employees from doing pretty much everything (i.e: using the company phone)
Sign reads 'REDUCED BUDGET'
Sorry for intruding.
Ueda-sensei!
Because we've been saving money, we've gotten into this poor state
and I do apologise.
It's a pleasure to meet you,
I am the chief of the Rare Earths division, Arita.
Nice to meet you.
Do take a seat.
Actually,
I've been very interested in your research since a long time ago
so I thought I might help fund your research.
But even then ...
because the funding has been reduced ... well ...
is 20 million yen to your liking?
This is a bird's-eye view of the Republic of Equatorial Sungai.
We, of the Rare Earths division,
found a large deposit of rare earths
along the upstream of a river
in the middle of the jungle.
After negotiating with the Sungai government,
we won the mining rights.
However, the problem is
the tribe that lives in the region.
They refused to move.
About their rearrangement,
we intended to compensate them
and provide them a convenient, suburban residence in the city.
However,
they still won't accept our offer.
All of them
are followers of a shaman called Bonoizunmi.
A shaman?
One who can tell the future,
and on occasion, curses people to death.
This shaman
said that she ruled the area
and wouldn't relinquish it to anyone.
Actually, I visited the village the other day
and I was rude to the shaman whilst negotiating.
I was cursed by this shaman.
She said I would die within a month.
The deadline
is today.
The problem is
whether or not you believe in the curse.
Of course not!
There's no way I'd believe in this curse.
Then nothing will happen to you.
The curse is just meant to scare you.
It might scare the tribe people
but it has no effect on us.
With Ueda-sensei's assistance,
we wish to open their eyes to this fake shaman.
I believe that doing so will definitely bring them happiness.
Chief?
Chief!
My name is Yamada Naoko.
Right now,
I'm a super beautiful genius magician.
To see my fabulous perfomance today,
lots of spectators have gathered here.
Um,
I still haven't been told about the escape device.
Huh?
What?
Is there a device?
Of course, since it's a magic trick.
What?!
In other words, you're a fake?
What do you mean by 'a fake?'
Basically,
'magic' is fake anyway.
Whatever, let's go.
Wait, hold on!
Sorry to have kept you waiting everyone!
The super beautiful genius magician,
who looks just like the famous Nakama Yukie,
Yamada Naoko is about to enter the stage!
Wait, I'm not ready yet!
She looks just like Nakama Yukie!
No, she doesn't!
She's super beautiful, isn't she?
Yankumi!~
We'll lock this red box
from the outside with this padlock.
All done!
So now, everyone ...
the moment you've all been waiting for ...
we'll blow up the box!
SWITCH
ON!
So, what will she do now?
Samba team!
25!
24!
Will she be alright?!
This is really bad ...!
9!
Everyone!
Samba team!
Don't!
Open the box!
What the?
Am I saved?
TV Asame
Hidden Camera Prank
Special
As I was thinking this,
it turns out it was a hidden camera prank show.
It was a big success!
Yamada-san, please say something!
Please stop this.
Please stop filming this.
Stop filming.
Stop it already.
You really are an idiot,
Yamada!
Stupid!
Flat-chest!
Now that I think about it,
Yamada said that,
"Soon, I'll be able to get a whole stack of cash
Magician's pay = 500,000 yen
and then I'll pay all of my rent!~"
Don't tell me it's that amount!
Haru-san.
This is bad.
She's not here!
Everyone!
Come here!
Let's guard the front entrance!
That fool is unforgivable!
Yamada's already escaped.
I'll definitely catch her.
Hello?
I happened to turn on my 4K resolution TV for the first time in a year
and I saw an amusing program.
Super beautiful genius magician's
death defying escape.
Ueda.
After that was broadcast
I'm surprised you're still in Japan.
Did you call me just to say that?
I'll hang up.
Actually,
I'm going overseas to attend to some business.
Why don't you come along with me?
'Overseas,' as in,
'across the seas?'
Is it that kind of 'overseas?'
Yes, across the seas.
That sounds suspicious.
Why are you treating me so nicely?
I'm doing this for you, old friend, who won't survive in Japan anymore.
Anyway,
this is the first time you've gone overseas, right?
Of course not!
I've been to Las Vegas many times.
Las Vegas?
Then,
do you have a passport?
Of course I do!
When's the expiry year?
Year?
Where exactly is this country?
Do they also have onsens?
This is my mother, Yamada Satomi.
She runs a calligraphy class for kids in Nagano.
ENDING~
Strong feelings will arise as you write
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE! 13 and a half years!
HOWEVER,
like anger, sadness, happiness.
MAYBE
My mother's writings are said to have mysterious powers.
There are a lot of people from abroad who request her to write signs and slogans.
Now, write!
Mom.
Naoko.
Ah, that's right.
Ishizaka-sensei next door told me
that you look a lot like someone.
Uhh, who was it again ...
Na ... naka?
Naka ... nakatahi ...?
What's that?
You don't look like that person?
I went to the town hall to get the household certificate and I'm just stopping by.
Oh, that's right.
You're going with Ueda-sensei to Equatorial Sungai.
How did you know that?
Ueda-sensei called me.
"Mother,
is it alright if I take Naoko-san overseas with me?"
So then I said,
"Please do!"
"Please do, please do!"
"If you don't mind, it's okay for you two not to come back!"
My mother is part of a long line of spiritualists, from Black Gate Island.
She was born into the kaminuri family.
She was supposed to have had an arranged marriage,
but she fell in love with a magician who often visited the island
and they fled the island.
According to mom, when they realised it,
they were already on a Western cruise liner.
They hit a massive iceberg,
and before the ship sunk, they escaped on a lifeboat.
For some reason, a tiger jumped on board.
After fighting it, they managed to subdue it.
They ate flying fish to survive,
and then they suddenly ended up in Mexico.
I can't actually tell how much of that was true or not.
In any case, it was a miracle that those two survived.
But when I was little, my father
died a mysterious death.
The kaminuri blood that my parents wanted to be rid of
still flows in me.
I'm sorry, Naoko.
I'm sorry.
Naoko ...
This place is way too big.
Dammit, where are you Ueda?
Since I won't be able to eat for a while,
I wanna to be treated to sushi, tempura and soba!
Ow!
Ueda!
Just now, you looked like you were lost.
Normally, people don't wait for others here.
Ueda-sensei.
Kagami-san.
This is my assistant, Yamada.
I'm the beautiful genius magician, Yamada.
You were on TV recently, right?
Apparently, you looked like some actress ...
Naka ... naka ...
Nakawa?
Uh, no.
Papa, have a nice trip.
Be a good girl, okay?
If you push yourself too much, you'll get sick again.
Don't worry, I'll say the magic words every day.
I'll be back as soon as possible.
Have a safe trip.
I'm going now.
Papa, remember to call me, okay?
Your daughter is very cute.
Two years ago, she got seriously ill
and the doctor told us she couldn't be saved.
It was miracle that she survived.
Medical science really is incredible.
What were the magic words from before?
They were words that the doctor told her
so that she would get better.
It's an embarassing story
seeing as we'll be confronting a shaman
and yet, I'm letting my daughter chant incantations.
Not at all.
Don't underestimate the power of suggestion.
Ueda, what's this 'confrontation with a shaman?'
Let's go.
Mother!
Everyone's Asian!
Wait, I'm Asian too.
Kagami-san.
Good work.
Sensei.
These two gentlemen will accompany us to the village.
This is Kawashima-san, of the Iwakuma Metal Factory
and Nishino Tanioka-san.
This is the person I was talking about the other day,
Ueda-sensei, from the Japan University of Science and Technology.
I've heard a lot about you. I'm Tanioka Masashi.
Nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you, too.
Nice to meet you.
This is my 29th assistant, Yamada.
Note: Japanese people tend to eat meat on the 29th of every month
Am I the day of meat?
It's okay not to feed her.
So, everyone,
even though it's a little presumptuous,
first, I'd like to go to a nearby place called Suva, which has nice bananas.
And then ...
Let's go on ahead.
then, we'll go to Belka for seafood risotto ...
Hey!
Wharf
DO NOT GO PAST THIS POINT
Have you decided where we're going?
This time, Kagami-san will give us a free trip
to a hikyou (unexplored area) which isn't written in the travel guide.
Hikyou (unfair)?
Note: 'Unexplored area' and 'unfair' sound the same (hikyou)
As in, 'cheating people so you can win?'
No!
Piranhas?
Are those piranhas?
'I am beautiful.'
'I am beautiful lady.'
'Let's eat.'
Note: Ukkari Hachibei = a character from Mito Kōmon (a historical drama)
'Ukkari Hachibei.'
Originally, I researched contagious diseases at a university hospital.
Kagami-san asked me to come along just in case.
Have you come here a lot?
Yes.
Three years ago, when a contagious disease broke out here,
I came to investigate.
It was a horrible disease that I had never heard of.
Right before my eyes,
little kids bled from all openings and died.
The villagers placed far more faith
in the shaman's spells than the medicine that we brought.
I still feel regret for the lives
that I wasn't able to save.
Kawashima-san.
What's this?
Isn't it obvious?
A shotgun and ammunition.
Over there are explosives and timers.
What were you thinking?!
I want to show them who's in charge here.
We only need to blow up the cave
and then we'll be immediately rid of this shaman.
Listen,
we only want to peacefully persuade them in the end
and for that reason, we brought Ueda-sensei.
It's because you're all talk and no action
that you've gone nowhere with this.
If we don't get anything done,
all the employees will starve.
We're out of options, idiot.
Please put on your 3D glasses.
Please take off your 3D glasses.
That really suited me.
So where's this boat headed to?
To the branch office in the Musshum Rah village, which is a bit further ahead.
Musshumuramura?
Note: 'Musshumuramura' is a Daichō Kurabu gag (a comedy trio)
Branch office (shisha).
Note: shisha + gonyuu = rounding up (in maths)
Rounding up (gonyuu).
Just kidding!
Stay here and guard the luggage.
This is the Musshum Rah branch office.
It also has a balcony.
Yamamoto-san, it's Kagami.
It's hot!
I'm dying from this tropical heat,
and I'm absolutely exhausted!
Explain already!
This is the branch office head, Yamamoto-san.
Well, he's called the head,
but he's actually the only employee here.
This is ...
Ueda 'Nobel' Jiro.
And also ...
The beautiful genius magician ...
My 1917th assistant, Yamada.
What, am I Ikuina Akiko?
Note: 'I ku i na' sounds similar to '1, 9, 1, 7.'
Yamamoto-san entered the company after graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology,
originally majored in geology,
and came here by himself and investigated a lot.
He stayed here for a long time and his voice got louder.
I'm exhausted and I have no energy!
I'm gonna go for a quick walk.
Be careful
not to get lost.
Everyone, please look.
Tomorrow, we will travel upstream from here.
If we leave early in the morning, we'll arrive at our destination by evening.
Comrades,
I can't go anymore. I can't go!
What did you say?
Here, I've finally realised
that our strength alone is no match for the shaman!
The drama queen over there,
what rubbish are you spouting?
What we're about to do
will trample into their lives!
The kanji for leg and soft make 'juu.'
Note: He's spelling out the radicals for the kanji for 'juurin' = to trample
The kanji for leg, gate and 'uhnnn' make 'rin.'
Trample! Trample!
That isn't the case at all!
We only want to open their eyes to this fake shaman.
I've heard something.
That our division chief seems to have died, right?
It was just a coincidence that he had a heart attack.
Ueda-sensei also said so.
Well, maybe he didn't realise
that his heart had been put under suggestion.
To investigate that case,
two detectives from Tokyo have come here.
The investigation is just a formality.
My superiors suspected something and requested the police to investigate, that's all.
I've heard.
That the shaman said that this world will end soon!
That's absurd.
What happened to you, Yamamoto-san?
And what's with the hippy outfit?
Weren't you dedicated to resource development
so you threw away the life of a scholar to join our company?
I don't matter anymore!
Ow.
Take a look at this.
A ball ... of fire?
This is a painting that was found in the village cave.
According to the local legend,
hundreds of years ago,
a massive ball of fire appeared above the village.
The village was burned down.
I investigated the geology and plantlife near the village.
In the areas inside and outside of this line,
the geology and plantlife are significantly different.
There is no doubt that hundreds of years ago,
there was a massive explosion in that area!
The Tungska event.
Huh?
Around the start of 1900,
there was a massive explosion above Russia.
The cause of it is still unknown.
These two events look very similar.
Don't say such nonsense as well, Ueda-sensei.
Musshumuramura!
Money ...
Gimme.
You.
Me.
Shut up.
My breasts are big.
Get angry.
Talk.
Lemme out!
Hurry up and let me out!
Let me out already!
Lemme out!
Lemme out, you hear me!
Yabe!
Yamada!
What are you doing here?
And what about you?
We came here to investigate a case.
Then why are you in there?
I did absolutely nothing.
Then, the villagers just suddenly threw me in here.
We were going to go into that decorated, weird place.
But it looks like that place is sacred to the villagers.
You went in too! How come you weren't locked up?!
Maybe because of the feeling they got or something ...?
Yabe.
It was your fault.
Why?
Look.
When you pass through that point, you have to take off anything you're wearing on your head.
You wore *that* and went in.
Where do you think you're pointing at?
The thing on my head is
my real and genuine hair.
See ya.
Naoko-san!
Goodbye.
Hold on, I'll give you a fifty!
Please save me!
You guys said that you came here for an investigation, right?
Yes.
What are you investigating?
Uh, about that ...
A VIP from the Murakami Trade Company was cursed by a shaman here and died.
So, we came here thinking that we could take an overseas vacation as we did the investigation.
Oops, I told you the secret. Kimitsu is in Chiba!
Note: 'Himitsu' (secret) and 'kimitsu' sound similar.
A shaman.
Oh, I see what's going on.
If I rescue you,
will you listen to everything and anything I say?
Everything and anything.
Just this once.
Naoko-san.
Face your back over there and put this over you.
The baldy ran off!
The baldy's escaped!
That guy
from there,
like this,
ran over there.
He must be the SPEC holder.
Find him!!
Come.
That was a pretty high-tech trick!
Why did everyone already leave?
There's no way the two of us can carry this much stuff.
It's not the two of us.
You'll be carrying everything.
What?
This is all your stuff!
So?
It's punishment for deceiving me.
'Doing this for an old friend?'
You're just scared of the shaman!
If you don't want to be here, you can go back right now.
But, you'll have to swim through a piranha infested river.
Speaking of which, yesterday, there was an outrageous Japanese person who sullied the holy land of the village.
The villagers are looking for them right now.
Oh, that was us.
Thank you!
That's unforgivable!
It's because of those guys like them that we're looked sideways upon.
It's 'looked down' upon, idiot.
Whatever.
Get back here!
Yamamoto-san,
are you really not going to come?
Shut up!
You'll be going against the order of the company.
What success? What company?!
Yamamoto-san.
The shaman has the power of clairvoyance.
Whatever you plan to do,
she already knows it all!
Here, it's forbidden to point with your index finger.
What's with you, Ueda?
When I woke up in the morning, my back was itchy.
Where?
Kayui (itchy)?
You were probably bitten by bugs while you were asleep.
It's itchy!
So itchy!
Yamada, you're beautiful.
You finally realised?
Yamada Hanako ...
Ueda, you alright?
I'm fine.
Since I was born, I've never been sick.
For some reason, I feel cold.
But we're in the tropics of the equator.
In the equator ...
Stop! You're killing my brain cells.
Ueda, you have a really bad fever, it's like 50 degrees!
Ueda-san, this ...!
Ueda!
It's a literal meat bun!
There are strange, poisonous insects around this area.
These little bugs are also found in Shinjuku Ni-chōme.
Note: Ni-chōme is a Tokyo district famous for it's gay subculture.
I've given him enough antibiotics.
Good thing you were here, Tanioka-sensei.
Um, wouldn't it be best if we went back to the village?
It's fine, the medicine will soon take effect.
Yamada ...
Give me water ...
'You're beautiful.'
'I'll give you all of my assets ... for now, 500,000 yen in cash?'
NO!
Oww ...
Okay, okay, just don't say anything more, Ueda.
Note: 'Ya' is another reference to Daichō Kurabu.
This man ...
will soon ... die. Ya.
No way ...!
Yabe-san, I'm scared of the real world!
What's with these guys?
"There's a very sick person on this boat.
If we don't hurry and take him to Bonoizunmi's place ...
he will die."
Bonoizunmi?
It's the village shaman.
That's ridiculous!
How can a shaman cure sickness?
This is a trap! Don't listen to them!
Mother ...
For now, let us do as they say.
Just as you said, there is a sick person.
We bear no harm towards you.
Please, could you help this sick person?
Let's go.
Idiot!
I won't care what happens to you, fool!
Take care!
Akiba!
What, are you going with them?
That's the akama forty-eight day viper.
If you're bitten by it, there's no way you'll survive.
Let's go.
Note: This is Daichō Kurabu.
Daichō?
"His soul is leaving his body."
This has to be some kind of trick.
Ask her how she plans on saving Ueda-san.
Please tell us how you intend on saving this man.
"If I raise my hands,
then this man should be cured."
Raise her hands?
'You are in the way.'
'In the way, in the way.'
Me as well?
You know, that shaman had some serious character.
If she appeared on Wide!Scramble, she'd be popular.
Note: Wide!Scramble is a talk show.
What are you doing sitting down?
I'm going to stay here for a while.
I'm sorry, it's all because I requested for the professor ...
but if the professor dies,
I will ...
I will not forgive them.
I won't forgive them as well.
Speed it up, already.
Hurry up, idiots!
I wanna go for a massage.
They're here.
How was it?
Seems like the shaman wants to be alone with the professor for now.
So are we just doing her budding?
It's 'doing her bidding!'
If you can't use the phrase, don't!
Just as I thought,
they plan to kill that professor.
This is war!
If that professor dies, it means they killed him.
It makes for a good excuse to drive them out.
Right, wig boy?
What are you talking about?
No matter how you look at it, this is real!
You can touch it ...
Peace, peace ...
Where are you going?
I'm going to check on the equipment.
There's no one there, so I'm worried.
Asshole.
Rare metals land survey.
Intruders will be shot.
Dammit, just as I thought.
They wrecked it real bad.
You! You ruined everything here, huh!
Guess what, I'm still alive!
Please, don't shoot.
Please.
I beg you, don't shoot.
Oh, it was just a dream.
Bring it on!
Sushi train ...
Grilled salmon ...
Gold salad!
Hey, wake up.
What are you doing, Ueda?
You're alive?
Of course.
What are you doing?
If you sit here, you'll become unlucky.
It's written there in English.
Oh wait, my bad.
You can't read English, so you wouldn't have known.
What are you doing?
Don't 'what are you doing' me!
I was so worried about you that I couldn't sleep well!
You were sleeping like a baby!
On top of that, you were dreaming about food.
It's gone down.
It's healed!
Your body was left to rot, so how are you still alive?
What, is it bad that I'm alive?!
How could I die from just an insect bite?
In fact, I'm feeling better than ever!
I want to be bitten again.
Insects, please come to me~
Let's eat.
I'm really glad the professor got better.
He's gotten a little too well. What's he doing?
Tanioka-sensei, could the shaman have ...?
Of course not!
There's nothing strange about this!
It was just my medicine taking effect.
I see,
they just pretended that they cured him.
Despicable fools.
This is war!
Everyone, please eat up.
These are ingredients I specially brought from Japan.
What's wrong?
This was in my food, idiot!
That's odd ... when did it get in there?
Oh my, are you okay?
It's just a little cut, don't worry.
Kagami-san.
At night, you left the food box outside, right?
This is definitely their doing.
Let's hurry up and take care of those guys!
After all, Ueda-sensei's all better,
so show me what you've got.
Please, leave it all to me.
I'll bring the shaman to you,
and then she'll use her usual incantation
to drive us out.
Then, it will be Ueda-sensei's turn.
In front of all the villagers, you'll expose her tricks
and reveal her true self.
And so, no one will listen to her anymore.
I see.
I'll leaf it to you.
It's 'I'll leave it to you!'
If you've finished eating,
wake up and let's go.
Sorry, but we'll just stay behind.
Um, is there an onsen or fitness gym around here?
Detectives, you have to step up to the battlefield as well.
Didn't you come here to investigate the chief's death?
But this isn't within our jurisdiction.
Hurry up and eat.
Wig boy.
Wake up!
Ueda-sensei.
It looks like she knew we were coming.
Sit.
In the middle, at the front ...
Seems like a welcoming ceremony.
Sensei, she just drank poison, right?
Why has nothing happened to her?
About that,
blood and air mixed together ...
Don't be so surprised, it's just water.
I'm not scared.
It seems like one of their people was killed yesterday.
And the culprit is among us.
Now, they'll test to see who did it.
Each one of us has to drink the water
and only the culprit will die.
Wait a moment.
Ask them to drink the water first.
First, please drink the water yourselves.
Looks like there's nothing wrong.
Wait, why me?
Yabe-san.
If you don't drink it, they'll kill us all.
But ...
My mom told me to first let other people drink. ... here, you drink it.
It's good!
It smells a bit like rocks ... but it's fine.
Yabe-san!
Nothing happened to anyone, what were you all scared about?
Chairman!
Bastards ...!
Kawashima-san, Kawashima-san!
He's dying.
Sensei, sensei!
Sensei!
This time, even the professor has ...!
Oh no, he's just fainted.
I now place a curse on you people.
Then you shall each die, one by one.
There's no such thing as a curse.
Then, why did the water we all drank
kill only Kawashima-san?
When the shaman was chanting and placed her hand over the bowl,
it looked like she put something in the water.
Wasn't that the snake venom that she drank before?
Then, everyone should be dead now.
How come snakes don't die from their own venom?
Saying that now is ...
Wait a moment.
I see.
We've forgotten something very important.
Drinking snake venom doesn't mean you'll die.
If you're bitten, the venom will enter your bloodsteam and you'll die,
but ingesting it orally
means that it will pass through the stomach and the poison will break down.
That's why snakes don't die from their own poison.
So the shaman drinking the venom and not dying ... was completely natural.
She deliberately did that to let us think she was special.
Then why did only Kawashima-san die?
This morning, Kawashima-san
got a cut from the fragment that was in his breakfast.
What's wrong?
This was in my food, idiot!
The venom probably entered his bloodstream from there.
... and that was what happened. They can't deceive my eyes.
Ueda ...!
I see, as expected of Ueda-sensei!
Where's Yabe and Akiba?
I don't wanna stay in a place like this anymore!
Let's go back to Japan!
Akiba!
Yes?
Untie the moyai (rope)!
Moai (like the statue)?
MOYAI!
MOAI?
THE MOYAI, YOU IDIOT!
M-m-moai?
Is it this?!
It's this, right?
Which one of the switches is it?
Switch?
Switch.
The switch, yes?
Isn't it this one?
This one?
No.
Isn't it this one?
It turned on!
Now we can run away!
Let's go!
It's moving, it's moving!
Hey, it's moving! Looks like I've always had talent!
Seems like I have the blood of a sailor in me.
Hey, what happened?
We hit a rock.
What?
Hey, have we run aground already?
No, I think it's the weeds.
What are we going to do in the middle of the river?
Even if you say that ...
Ah! Piranhas!
There's so many!
Kappa!
Mother!
I did it!
I really did it!
Now there's nothing to be afraid of.
Wait!
What's going on?
Give me a break!
No!
What?
Noooo!
It's hot!
Save me!
Please save me!
What are you doing ...?!
Wake up!
What, it was a dream?
Just a dream?!
Ever since I came here, I've been having the same dream.
A big fireball appears over the jungle
and then it explodes.
"A massive fireball appeared
and burned the village down."
It's just a coincidence.
Note: More Daichō Kurabu references.
Hello, emergency line.
This is Akiba Harando.
Good signal, good signal.
You're noisy!
Eh? Out of battery?
Charger, charger ...
This is AC ...
Where's the power socket?
The socket ...
Ah, this!
It's a three-prong socket!
Note: Japan uses two-prong sockets.
What's wrong with you, Asia?!
We're Asian too, blockhead.
Help us!
Me help!
Please help us!
Me help!
Good morning.
Have you seen Tanioka-san?
Nope.
That's odd.
Yabe-san and Akiba-san haven't come back since last night either ...
I hope nothing happened to them.
You two can eat first.
Yes?
Ikut aku ('come with me' in Malay).
He said, "koi" (to come).
Note: Naoko thinks 'ikut' is referring to 'iku.'
Didn't he say iku (to go)?
Ikut aku (come with me).
He said, "koi" (to come).
Yeah, but he said iku.
What does she plan to do?
Looks like there aren't any fish in there.
That's ...
It's Tanioka-sensei's wrist watch.
That!
So that must be Tanioka-sensei's hand ...
Ahh, I'm meant to be on a beach playing games with a beautiful woman!
Why are we suffering like this?!
When we get back to Japan
we have to take a nice, long break.
Ah, that scared me!
But the boat's broken,
so how will we go back?
Yeah, that's true.
Do they all look like that?
A bunch?
A group?
You're being seriously annoying!
Isn't that Tanioka-sensei over there?
Yeah.
Tanioka-san!
Hey!
Tanioka Masashi-san!
Huh?
His left hand is missing.
His right pinky is outstretched.
And his face looks really pale.
What's going on?!
He's d-dead!
Police! Police that are stationed here!
They're called area police!
An incident has happened here!
Police! Get here!
Something's happened!
That's ...
Ah! Over there.
You get it, hurry up!
Give it back.
Give it back!
Jerk.
I got it!
I am Seaman.
It's gonna be pulled out, stop!
After Kawashima-san,
Tanioka-san was also killed.
Detectives,
is it okay just to leave it be?
Sensei.
How did the shaman pull Tanioka-san's hand
from the water tank?
It was actually a really simple trick.
But even so,
it's a bit complicated to explain.
I'm just thinking how to explain it in a more understandable way.
Naoko-san.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the shaman's place.
For whatever reason they had,
what they've done is murder.
Yamada!
Will you be alright by yourself?
Sensei.
Why did you ask when she already left?
Hi, hello, how are you?
You are lying.
I am angry.
Let's eat together.
Ukkari Hachibei!
Yamada Naoko-han.
Eh?
Don't worry.
I understand Japanese.
I've listened the conversations of the Japanese people who've come here
and I learned.
You have no shamanistic powers.
You're all in cahoots with each other
and killed Kawashima-san and Tanioka-san.
Then, how did I
pull out Tanioka's hand
from a tank that only held water?
Beforehand,
you placed a transparent, glass object in the shape of hand in the water.
Then you fished it out and dropped it into a cloth pouch,
and switched it with the real hand.
Everything you've done ...
from south-east, north-west, the equator, all across the world,
from all the fine details of an extreme universe,
I've seen through it com-plet-ely!
That felt great ...!
Um, so basically,
'to see completely through' means something like,
'I already know everything!'
You can still see glass
even if it's in water.
Huh?
Let's try it out.
Look.
You can still see it.
What?
Then ...
instead of glass,
how about ice?
It's the same for ice!
Yamada-han.
You people, somewhere in your heart,
look down on us.
You think of us as ignorant barbarians.
But in our eyes,
you people are
busty.
Ah, I made a mistake.
Flat-chest!
There are no people more ignorant and barbaric than you.
Spiritual powers really do exist.
Do come with me.
This is ...
Yamada,
this is the same thing that's appeared in your dreams.
Lately,
I've been having the same dream.
This event
will soon happen in reality.
Yamada,
you carry the blood of Japan's spiritualists, don't you?
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
You're bleeding.
Yesterday,
Tanioka shot me with a gun.
He did?
He thought that if he killed me,
it would drive the villagers away.
Keep this a secret from them.
Yamada!
Bonoizunmi!
My child is hurt!
Yamada-san.
Are you alright?
Kagami-san.
This is all according to your plan, isn't it?
What?
From the start,
you were in cahoots with the villagers.
What?
What are you saying, Yamada?
The 'magic words'
that the doctor taught your daughter,
are the same as the shaman's incantations.
You
brought your daughter here once.
And you met with that shaman.
You
believe in the shaman's powers.
Kagami-san.
It's just as you said.
My daughter
had an incurable disease.
Every hospital turned us away.
They said that modern medicine
wouldn't be able to save her.
Six months ago,
I came here on a business trip
and met with the shaman.
I, who was trying to persuade the villagers to leave,
was told by the shaman:
"You're worried about your daughter's sickness, aren't you?"
"I will cure her."
"Bring her here."
Of course, I didn't believe in the shaman's powers at the time.
But I had no other options,
so I secretly
brought my daughter to the shaman.
The shaman put her hand on my daughter,
and constantly chanted her incantation.
From then on,
my daughter's condition gradually improved, like a miracle.
How can that be?
At first, I couldn't believe it either.
But finally,
I realised how she was cured.
It's quite simple.
Their medical knowledge is far superior than ours.
In this jungle,
there are tens of thousands of different species
including all kinds of insects and plants.
The ones that are poisonous and the ones that can become an antidote ...
The people who live here, after being here for so long,
know them like the back of their hand.
Idiot. What knowledge?
No, wait a second.
It might actually be the case.
There are millions of plants on earth,
but the ones known to modern medicine
are only a tiny part of them all.
Then, in exchange for curing my daughter,
the shaman asked for me to bring Kawashima-san, Tanioka-san, and Ueda-sensei.
For what reason?
The first time Kawashima-san came here for a developmental survey,
not only did he vandalise their holy land,
but he treated the locals as slaves.
Many of the people who didn't listen to him were shot and killed by him.
My superior, Chief Arita was the same.
Bring a lighter.
No, no smoking.
Hurry up!
No, no, no, no!
No smoking.
Then die.
In order to collect data on his new drug,
Tanioka-san deliberately infected people with a contagious disease.
It was a lie that he wasn't able to save everyone from the disease.
It was him
who was the real killer.
Then you brought Ueda-sensei here for ...?
To show the scientist, Ueda-sensei,
that the power of curses is real
and thus, stop the development of the area.
Ueda-san's massive boil from back then
was also your doing.
Yes.
I used venom from a poisonous insect living on the island,
and on the night that he came to the branch office,
I administered it.
The shaman knew the plant that could treat it.
Then, the person who killed the division chief was also you!
No.
Originally, Chief Arita had heart problems
and constantly took medicine.
The shaman secretly switched the medicine with something else.
Kawashima-san,
just as Ueda-sensei deduced,
died from the snake venom.
I was the one who put the fragment in his food.
Then how did Tanioka-san die?
After Bonoizunmi was shot by Tanioka-san,
she fired a wood blowdart, made from the shaft of a large penis,
into his neck.
Big penis.
The shaft of a big penis increases the body temperature,
and gives off a sweet smell.
That smell attracted the south-east Asian Guts Ishimatsu bugs and man-eating bats,
which attacked Tanioka-san.
So it was just as I thought.
Hey!
Okay, I got it!
Even though I don't really understand,
You and the shaman are in caheets.
It's 'in cahoots.'
When we get back to Japan, I'm gonna arrest you on the spot!
I understand.
For whatever reason I had,
what I've done is murder.
The first time I came here,
I wanted to open their outlook,
and let them understand
what a convenient and happy life was like.
But then I realised,
that it wasn't them who were having their eyes opened,
but rather, us.
The Rare Earths development has already been stopped.
We'll go back tomorrow, at the crack of dawn.
Is the shaman's medicinal knowledge really that great?
At least for us, it's hard to understand.
I heard that there's an American pharmaceutical company
who's going to send their employees deep into the Amazon
so that they can learn treatment techniques from the locals.
But in the end, the profits they get from the patents
will go mostly towards the company.
I see ...
Then can I ask something?
Is there a way to make glass invisible in water?
Even if you put glass in water, it doesn't make it invisible
since their refractive indexes are different.
I guess so.
No, wait.
If the liquid had the same refractive index as glass ...
Carbon tetrachloride.
If you a glass object in carbon tetrachloride,
the glass will disappear.
I see ...!
So it was just a trick!
Oh well.
What are you doing?
Because of one your comrades, Bonoizunmi is dying.
Tanioka-san shot her.
Her wound probably got infected.
What did you say?
Please let me talk with Bonoizunmi.
Yamada ...
Is Bonoizunmi dead?
They said they must kill us.
Silence!
Just now, Bonoizunmi told me
to inherit her title
and rule this village.
You're holding your heads too high!
Then prove to us your power and show us a miracle.
Then I await your word.
This is a raw egg.
That's a boiled egg, isn't it?
Try dropping it here.
Take a card.
Yamada, you did pretty well.
Even then, those guys are simpletons
believing in your stupid magic tricks and all.
Note: Mass refers to a religious rite.
Mass?
We can run away now, so let's go.
I'm going to stay here.
What?
In her last words, the shaman told me:
"Please save these people, Yamada.
Soon, the disaster we saw in our dreams will come to the village."
What are you thinking?
Yabe, you promised me that you'd listen to anything I said, just once.
Yeah.
When you go back to Japan,
before you arrest Kagami-san,
let him meet with his daughter.
And then, make sure you give this to his daughter.
It looks like plant extract that can treat her illness.
But he's a criminal!
If I do that, then my achievements ...
What achievements?
Didn't you promise me that you'd listen to anything I said?
I did, but I never said I'd actually do it.
What, are you a primary school kid, Yabe?
Yabe-san.
No need for violence.
Take him away.
Got it.
What was this disaster you saw in your dreams?
Stay right here.
Mom, I'm now considered a shaman in some place.
If I really have spiritual powers,
I'll be able to save everyone from this coming disaster, right?
But if I'm a fake,
Me, Ueda-san, and the people around us will all die.
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry about the shaman blood that you tried so hard to cut ties with.
Ah, that's right.
What was the huge fireball Yamada was talking about?
And what's with this gas?
I will definitely solve this mystery!
What is this?
Ueda-san.
I know
what this fireball really is.
From somewhere underground,
a type of flammable gas is leaking
and after accumulating for a while,
it will escape to the surface
and static electricity in the air causes the gas to explode.
The Tungska event
had the same cause.
Why did Bonoizunmi and I share the same dream?
It's likely that you two unconsciously knew
about the changes happening underground.
Very low frequency vibrations or electromagnetic waves,
some humans are aware of these danger signs, without knowing it.
That's probably the reason why certain people were named as shamans.
You and that shaman,
have that same ability.
Let's go back.
Run.
The gas is starting to overflow.
It could explode at any moment.
Let's run.
What are you doing?
Hurry!
Hey!
Ueda-san.
Run away by yourself.
I'm going to stay here.
What?
The fireball's blast radius is several tens of kilometers, right?
Even if we go together, we won't be able to escape it.
What nonsense are you saying?
We could run at 100m per 10 sec,
and we'll be faster if we tied our feet together.
How can you give up now?
I understand now.
Why the villagers
had only one spiritualist.
And what the true role of the spiritualist was.
There's only one way
to save everyone.
In the depths of the cave,
the wall paintings hint at something.
The spiritualists have always been going into the depths,
and setting fire to the gas.
The gas will explode underground,
and won't reach the surface.
As long as there's someone who can sacrifice themselves,
they can save everyone.
That was the role of the spiritualist.
It's funny, isn't it?
It has nothing to do with spiritual powers.
It's our responsibility.
If we hadn't come here,
that shaman would have done it.
If we hadn't come here ...
Yamada, that's enough. Come!
Ueda-san, let's make one final bet.
I'm a person who tries to be to be a genius, beautiful, busty magician.
If there's a life after death,
one year later,
I will definitely find a way
to contact you.
When I do,
treat me to gyōza and sushi until I die.
Goodbye.
Yamada!
What?
What's going on?
Yamada!!
Papa!
Were you a good girl?
Yep!
The magic words?
I've said them plenty.
Good, good.
Here's a souvenir.
Thanks.
It's a little monkey.
This is Azusa's medicine.
Papa has some things to do.
You and mama can go home first.
Welcome.
I forgot to buy the commissioner's daughter a souvenir.
If you buy it here, won't you be found out?
They'll never know!
I'll have that.
Wrap it up and send it.
Thank you very much.
Help me pay.
Thank you, detective.
Let's go then.
Yes.
Can I have a receipt?
A receipt?
Make payable to the Metropolitan police.
One Year Later
Wait, what?
There's more now.
Hello?
I'm currently interrogating a criminal with Yabe-san
so I can't go.
What?
An amnesiac woman
has appeared in the south islands.
They're telling us to come and investigate.
Amnesia?
Are they an idiot?
There's no way I'm going overseas again!
Yaaaabe.
Hurry up and go investigate.
Sponsored by the Foundation of Science and Humanity
31st Annual Scientific and Human Awards Ceremony
The nominee for the most outstanding scientist
and winner of this year's Science and Humanity award is
Prof. Ueda Jiro, of the Japan University of Science and Technology.
Ueda-sensei, please go up to the stage to accept your award.
Prof. Ueda, in addition to his award,
will receive 50 million yen for research funding.
We will now present it to him.
Ueda-sensei, would you like to say a few words?
I am deeply honoured, as a researcher,
to accept this award today.
I, as a physicist,
have debunked a number of people posing as spiritualists.
But there are still many frauds out there, deceiving people.
And so here,
I challenge all people who call themselves spiritualists.
If you can show me
real spiritual powers,
I will give you all of the prize money.
The deadline is in one week.
Bring it on!
One Week Later
That's enough.
Mother.
Could ...
you ...?
No, no.
I didn't come here as a spiritualist.
Sensei, thank you.
In truth, you're waiting
for Naoko's call today.
In order to hear from her, you looked for a real spiritualist.
For doing so much for her,
she must be truly happy.
No, I didn't do it for that reason.
But,
I promised Naoko that if she contacted me,
I'd treat her to gyōza and sushi until she died.
Well, a dead person
eating until they died ...
Anyway,
my promise to treat her until she was full
is something that won't change.
That child is greedy,
so she'll definitely contact you.
Even if a person dies once or twice,
their personality won't change at all.
When the time comes,
please take care of Naoko.
Can I still make it?
Are you ... the real thing?
I am the real thing.
Do you have an envelope?
And a 100 yen coin?
I'm going to put it into the envelope.
Please seal it tightly.
I can't open this envelope.
I can take out the coin inside.
Watch carefully.
The 100 yen coin has disappeared.
Please check the inside.
