Wow.
1.2 vision without glasses...
That's not the issue!
Okay, let's try this.
A butterfly man?
No. Mothman.
Cobra!
No. Tsuchinoko.
An uma.
No. UMA!
Unidentified Mysterious Animal!
Oh, come on. Everyone knows that.
Aw, that's all occult stuff.
Also, at the end of the Kamakura shogunate,
there was a type of Song period Confucianism, based on the writings of Zhu Xi.
Want to ask Abe for help?
This philosophy, also called "Neo-Confucianism,"
espoused a theory of justification by moral law,
With what?
specifying a system of ethical and behavioral standards by which the nobility should live.
It became a major philosophical underpinning of the Kamakura-era anti-shogunate movement.
Kozue.
Why Abe?
Make sure to remember this part.
I guess 'cause he's our teacher.
We're in the middle of class.
I'm sorry.
You too, Kumashiro.
What's going on with those two?
Naruse?
What's wrong with Kozue?
Since that NDE experiment yesterday, she's been like a different person.
I've heard that near-death experiences can cause people
to experience personality changes or recover from health problems.
This is way beyond that.
That's not Kozue.
Kozue's got the memory of a cat, but she wouldn't forget the occult in a million years.
A cat?
All right!
Sorry.
What were you doing?
If she's forgotten, I'll help her remember.
Help me, Maya.
And so...
It's a poltergeist!
Ami-san's just shaking her desk.
A-At last you've revealed yourself, alien!
You're trying to communicate with the mother ship, aren't you? Damn it!
That's not fair, you two.
His handwriting is just really bad.
No way! It won't fit!
It's okay.
Just slide it in slowly...
Stop it! Don't be mean to Mr. Snake!
That's not even worth trying.
Wait, what do you mean?
Aw... I figured all we had to do was hit her with something occult, and she'd come back.
That's...
I still haven't returned it.
What's important is what can't be seen.
It can be found in a single rose
or a small bit of water.
But you can't see it with your eyes.
You need to see with your heart.
I guess my heart just isn't there yet. That's why I can't find it.
But I'll do my best, and someday...
Someday... Someday...
My glasses... My glasses... My glasses...
No way.
Mikaze-san?
It's something new I'm going to try selling at the school.
You promised to try it, right?
Yeah, but curry bread right after eating curry...
It's not... It's not okay, is it?
No! I'll eat it! I'll eat it now!
It's good!
Great!
Actually I have all these left.
I ate too much.
I need to walk around for a bit...
Wait! Wait!
It's me, Maya!
Don't use my first name.
What do you want?
I was thinking that the two of us could talk over the simulators...
Wait! Wait! Wait!
It's Naruse.
What happened with Naruse?
Kozue?
Yeah. Those notes you were passing with Kuroki...
Something about asking me about Naruse?
You suck, reading someone's notes!
And you shouldn't pass notes in class...
She really hang up!
Damn it!
Oh, crap!
It's ringing!
It's ringing-
Ow...
Why won't you answer?
Thank you all for gathering here, on this splendid day, to witness...
Enough talk. Do it.
Hey, Maya.
What's he going to do?
You'll see in a second.
Damn you, Maya!
Bend a spoon in front of Naruse?
No matter how much you suck, you're still Uchida Bunmei, right?
It's Fumiaki.
But my ability is...
Long gone.
But still, you clung to your former fame and learned how to fake doing it.
Right?
You know-
Bend the spoon!
For Kozue.
Principal's orders!
Orders!
Orders... Orders...
How the hell does this help Naruse?
What you see here is an ordinary spoon.
Nothing special, just a spoon.
I'm going to use my psychic powers to bend it.
Hey, you're like Bunmei-kun.
Psychic powers? More occult?
Aw, come on. It looks fun!
Behold!
Ow!
Aw, it's fake.
Of course it is.
There's no such thing as psychic powers.
The occult is just lies.
Yes. It's all lies.
Psychic powers, UFOs, monsters, UMAs, OOPArts... It's all lies.
That's proof, right there.
What was it, again?
"What's important are the things you can't see with your eyes."
The Little Prince!
That's all lies, too.
Looking with your heart for what you can't see.
Sure it is.
There's nothing you can see with your heart.
"What's really important is right beside you."
"Search with your heart."
It's all kids stuff.
Just like the occult.
Everyone's so obsessed with it. It's silly!
Kozue?
What's wrong with me?
I'm sorry.
I'm not sad or anything...
I'm so embarrassed.
Kozue!
She left her heart in the afterlife?!
Her occult-loving heart, to be precise.
But that's just a theory.
You saw it, too, right?
After the experiment.
But the teacher said that it was time-lag in the instruments.
Can you explain what we're seeing any other way?
The way she makes fun of the occult, of The Little Prince...
And then cries at herself.
That's why you asked Abe?
That aside...
Right now, Kozue is only half herself.
Then we have to go. Don't we, principal?
To bring back Kozue's heart.
To the afterlife!
A near-death experience?
Sounds fun.
I'll do it!
It's not a game, JK.
We're bringing back Kozue's heart.
Will you help us, too, Smile?
A nine-piece hexagon wrench set.
The latest model of riding glove.
Five liters of engine oil.
So what's going on?
The key to the laboratory?
I just want to peek inside.
Is this part of your class?
Or a private reason?
I suppose the latter.
It's in the top drawer, right?
Give it to me now.
Students aren't allowed into the laboratory for private reasons!
That was close.
Yeah.
She's strangely good at finding things.
I can't have her seeing this.
"I am a glass shoe, the sign of first young love, left behind at a ball."
"Quickly, find the other shoe!"
"The key that will open your heart's door..."
"When the two shoes are together, we will become one."
Should I go, too?
There's only one extra capsule.
It's okay.
I'll bring Kozue back.
What do you mean, bring her back?
Naruse's right there.
You were stalking us, weren't you? Coward!
Hey... After that embarrassing stunt with the spoon, I don't want to hear it!
My foot hurt a lot!
I'm the vic-
Now, now... Come on, you two.
Abe-sensei, there's a reason for this.
Naruse's heart is still in the afterlife?
To bring her back to normal,
we need to go into the afterlife and find her.
Got it? Don't interfere!
Wait. It's too dangerous!
What if the same thing happens to you as to Naruse?
It's got nothing to do with you.
It does!
I'm your teacher.
I can't leave Kozue!
Fine.
I'll go.
Okay, going!
The time limit is three minutes.
Any more, and reviving you becomes dangerous.
I don't care what happens to you, but bring back Kozue.
Hey-
Where am I?
Bunmei-kun!
That's the old me...
Mom...
That's Bunmei-kun?
It's not like it was with Kozue.
It doesn't look broken.
The instruments are normal.
Then this is what Abe's seeing?
Probably. There are all types of NDEs.
But why?
His life's flashing before him.
This is Bunmei's past?
Hey, Bunmei!
It's Fumiaki.
You free tonight?
Toshi's place has a telescope!
Let's watch the meteor shower!
Meteor shower?
I remember.
I wanted to see that meteor shower.
Oh, yeah... You're busy, aren't you?
Next time, then.
See you around.
Bye-bye!
You're special.
Don't play with them anymore.
What do you say?
Yes.
You see the meteor shower?
I did! I did!
It was great!
I made ten wishes!
It was so amazing!
Yeah, there were so many.
You could see it ten times as big on Toshi's telescope!
It was so... amazing!
Yes. Sadly, we're booked until next month.
A lecture?
For graduation ceremonies?
I'm honored.
That would be in the morning, yes?
The third Wednesday, in the morning...
Mom, that's...
Wonderful, it's open.
- Mom! - Yes!
Yes.
Mom! Mom!
Stop it!
Enough, Fumiaki!
But that day...
That day is...
That's the day you'd promised to take me to the planetarium.
Mom...
What's this?
A movie?
Is Abe nuts or something?
This is too real.
Maybe it is broken.
This is bad.
It's bad here, too!
Bunmei, hurry!
Naruse!
We're going home, Naruse.
We're running out of time.
Naruse, there's no time to explain.
Come back with me!
Naruse!
Kozue!
What are you doing, Kozue?
Hurry!
It's no good.
What isn't?
What's important can't be seen with your eyes.
You need to see with your heart.
I still can't...
Isn't this it?
You've seen plenty!
I...
I can't see it.
Naruse...
Is this what you're talking about?
What's really important is right beside you!
That's what it was?
Her heart had nothing to do with it!
Everyone!
My near-death experience was awesome!
It was all sparkly and fluffy!
Aw, you...
Ow!
I missed you!
My glasses! My glasses!
Bunmei.
Thank you for saving Kozue.
I'm her teacher.
Fumiaki...
You really were Uchida Fumiaki.
Yeah. That was the real Uchida Fumiaki.
Soon, Nostradamus's prophecy will come true, and aliens will invade the Earth.
Yeah. Stopping that is my...
Our duty!
Nostradamus's Key.
We need to find it.
If we do, you'll be able to see the meteor shower.
Yeah.
Thank you, Maya.
Don't use my first name.
Okay, one croquette bread.
Thank you!
See you again.
Principal!
Thank you so much for letting me sell here!
Nice to meet you.
I'm Nakagawa Mikaze.
Nice to meet you.
Um, are you sure it's okay to leave your shop...
Okay, line up!
Next?
Don't do other jobs when you're on duty!
I can't believe it. Everything Bunmei said was true, and he was a lonely child, just like me.
From now on, we'll work together and stop the aliens.
Maya-san, it's a mystery circle!
Where?
There are aliens there?
Where?
What's truly important can only be seen with your heart!
Mr. Alien!
She forgot to put her glasses on again.
Next time on Occult Academy:
MAYA's amigo.
I-It's not that I like the occult now, okay?
This program is a work of fiction. Departed spirits, psychic abilities, aliens, UMAs, etc., do not exist.
Unless you believe in them...
