I'm going to put these in our target's desk.
I suspect that Onigawara is
the White T-Shirt Poison everyone's talking about.
He'll get kicked out quickly and easily.
They're in his desk.
I didn't do it!
To hell with all of you!
I'm such a loser.
What? You can see me?
Amazing!
You have awakened your psychic powers!
KAGEYAMA
I was on the verge of death, but somehow I managed to pull through.
Dang. It's been a while, Ritsu.
How come you know my name?
We have met before...
at the (LOL) meeting.
You're Mr. Ekubo?
That's right!
Looks like your powers have awakened too, Ritsu.
Congratulations!
You have just started a new life as an Esper!
Me? An Esper?
The fact that you can see me is proof of that.
This must be your first time to see a spirit, right?
A spirit?
Then...
I have to exorcise you!
Ouch!
Wait, Ritsu!
I said, wait!
Listen to what I have to say!
Listen to you?
That's right.
You still don't know how to use your power properly, right?
My power?
Give it a try.
I bet you can do it now.
I can't do it.
I'll never be able to do something like that.
Bend.
Bend!
It still isn't bending!
You tricked me!
Chill out!
Look at your desk.
What?
I did that?
That's right. You did it with your power.
You don't know what awakened your powers, do you?
Awakened my power?
Have you had a lot of stress recently,
or felt like you were under pressure?
Could that...
be it?
When you first awaken your power, it's impossible to use it well.
Therefore...
why don't you partner with me?
-No way. -That was fast!
If you partner with me, you'll be able to control your power
and even amplify it.
Don't you want to be better than your brother?
You mean I could be like Shigeo?
Yes, if you let me take over your body.
Time for dinner, Shigeo.
ABERRATION
What? Isn't Ritsu eating?
He said he was not hungry.
Did something happen at school?
I don't know.
Was Ritsu depressed?
No.
He seemed kind of happy, in fact.
Oh, Ritsu.
Are you all right?
I'm going out for a minute.
Where to?
The convenience store.
Be careful.
I will.
How can I learn to control my power and use it at will?
Actually, using it is easier than explaining it.
Close your eyes.
Don't worry. It's all right.
Just loosen up and relax.
What a fool!
I thought you were smarter than your brother, but you felt inferior to him.
I can't believe I got such easy access to this great host!
Your body is mine now!
Where did you go, Ekubo?
Damn it!
I can't control his body!
How can this kid possibly control me?
Wow!
I can use my power just the way I want to.
You can use your power freely because I'm inside you.
But, you have always had psychic powers.
Ritsu!
That was close!
I can't let Shigeo find me.
What are you doing here, Ritsu?
Shigeo...
What are you doing?
Well, actually,
I was working out like you have been doing.
Really?
Muscle is what makes a man, isn't it?
Okay, let's do some squats together.
What?
Oh, okay.
Bodybuilding!
Pump up!
You don't know what awakened your power, do you?
Most likely it was...
a sense of guilt...
and immorality.
That's what awakened my power...
and helped it grow.
Oh, my god! No way!
I found a girl's P.E. uniform in your bag, Yamazaki.
What?
Are you nuts?
Mori!
I found a girl's shoes in your locker.
-Seriously? -That's disgusting!
That's a lie!
-Kobayashi! -What?
I found a girl's socks in your jacket pocket.
What?
-Yuck! -That's gross!
I didn't do it!
Cut it out!
HOW TO IMPROVE PSYCHIC POWERS
Wow! That's amazing!
Amazing! Amazing, Kageyama!
His power has increased.
What the heck happened to you?
I have a question. Why are your cheeks red?
This is what happens when I use my power.
Oh, I see.
Shall I show you more?
What happened to you, Kageyama? You have changed.
I want to become even stronger.
I want to be better than everyone.
STUDENT COUNCIL
Thanks to the student council, we have fewer hoodlums at school.
They all were hiding girls' P.E. clothes, shoes, and socks.
Oh, dear! Our school was full of creepy.
Tsubomi, don't you mean "creeps"?
What?
But when someone does something really weird, people say, "That's creepy."
Kageyama!
Hey, Kageyama. Want to join me and some friends after school?
Thanks, but I don't have the time.
I bet you feel stupid for turning around just now, don't you?
I sense something!
Here it comes!
I'm getting signals!
Your brother is like a different person lately.
He must have been possessed by an alien!
Did he mention seeing a UFO?
No, he didn't.
Oh, I see.
GHOSTS ETC. AGENCY
I'm not at all pretty,
I have a terrible figure,
I'm dull, depressing,
and unpopular.
That's clearly caused by a ghost.
I thought so.
Let's see...
Anyway, let's get you exorcised. This way.
You know, even though you may not be a real beauty,
you're quite charming,
and you have a very nice and healthy figure.
What? Really?
That's right.
You're also wonderfully sincere and refined.
I have never been told that before.
Okay. We're done.
Now that the ghost is gone, you have really brightened up.
You're so right.
Wow! Very nice!
Ghosts don't bother cheerful people.
You'll be just fine if you're always smiling.
-Okay! -Good!
All right, that will be 2,800 yen for the exorcism.
Okay.
Here is 3,000 yen.
You can keep the change.
Thank you.
Thank you!
-Thank you. -So beautiful!
People really do change depending on their frame of mind.
Yes.
I wonder why Ritsu changed.
You set us up, didn't you?
We pressured the student council president,
and he said you were behind it all!
It wasn't me!
We know everything!
Ekubo.
Leave this to me.
No matter what you say, it's too late.
You have already been cleaned up.
Why you!
Get him!
I am going to kick your ass!
God damn you!
Wait...
Is this guy...
White T-Shirt Poison?
So, what if I am?
Hey! You!
Aren't you Kageyama's kid brother?
So, you have psychic powers, too.
Were you bullying with your psychic powers,
or did you think you were cleaning up the filth?
Either way, you're mistaken if you think you're special.
You remind me a lot of how I used to be.
This is your warning.
Don't rely on your psychic powers.
You're in no position to be giving me a warning.
I bet you can hardly stand right now.
You're still so young.
My skirt!
Okay, you've been warned.
Who did this to you?
Kageyama.
I have found him.
Let's quit.
It's time to retreat.
No more cleaning up!
They beat you pretty bad...
President.
You won't survive unscathed.
I'll be fine.
Did you do something to them?
It was self-defense.
You mean, Salt Middle School's shadow leader,
White T-Shirt Poison
is you?
What do you hope to achieve by acting like you're White T-Shirt Poison?
This will give me more chances to use my power.
Oh, I get it!
More practice to improve your power!
The stronger my psychic powers become,
the less I need to rely on you.
What?
You're trying to use me, aren't you?
What are you talking about, Ritsu?
We're partners, right?
There sure are a lot of you.
Are you that White T-Shirt Poison guy?
I heard you're causing a lot of trouble.
We're Miso Middle, Chili Bean Sauce Middle,
and Soy Sauce Middle.
The Three Middle School Alliance.
We're going to fight you.
Come with us.
Yes, it's him.
I'll bring him to you.
But before that, let's see what he can do.
For the first time in a while,
I'll be getting some good octopus.
Long time no see.
Oh. Hanazawa.
Your hair sure grew back fast.
Oops!
Oh! I'm so sorry!
It's okay.
Actually, there is someone I want you to meet.
Really?
THREE MIDDLE SCHOOL ALLIANCE
-Ekubo. -Okay.
Okay.
Go right ahead.
Are you telling us to bring it on?
What an idiot.
I can't move!
What the hell was that?
Did something just explode?
Get him!
You little...
Your tricks won't work on me,
White T-Shirt Poison!
I don't have any hatred for you.
I understand it all now.
Sometimes people suddenly act irrationally,
and it's for no particular reason.
Now is one of those times.
Now that you have lost the will to fight,
I won't negotiate or make peace.
I'll just keep attacking.
There's a good reason for me to.
You know why?
Because my limits have been eliminated.
I have learned to eliminate them!
I found someone who says he's White T-Shirt Poison.
I thought you should decide what to do with him.
What?
What are you doing, Ritsu?
Shigeo.
Okay, I'll leave the rest to you.
You did this, Ritsu?
That's right. I did it.
MOB 45%
You're kidding.
Shigeo...
I have psychic powers.
What do you think you're doing? Stop! That's Shigeo you're facing!
I know.
Butt out, Ekubo.
You have become drunk on your power.
I'm not fighting for a lost cause.
You're on your own now.
Ekubo? You're alive?
Well, yes.
I don't need you anymore.
I have learned how to control my powers.
Ritsu, you really have psychic powers?
Congratulations.
You have always wanted psychic powers.
When you were little, you always used to whine
because you couldn't bend spoons.
That's right.
I always admired psychic powers...
and you, Shigeo.
Cut it out. You're embarrassing me.
But...
I was greatly mistaken.
What?
I couldn't handle my sense of inferiority and my fear of you,
so I protected myself by believing that I admired you.
What do you mean?
You see, when you became stressed out,
you had no idea what you might do with your powers.
I had no way of protecting myself from you.
I was ashamed of my past.
Shigeo...
But now...
I will never be afraid again.
I'm not your friendly brother anymore.
Ritsu, that's a lie.
It's no lie.
How about fighting with me right here?
I'm sorry my brother hurt you.
What?
You think we'll forgive him now?
Get down and beg!
-Beg! -Do it!
MOB 53%
What are you doing? Stop it!
So, his helpless brother is White T-Shirt Poison's weakness.
Ritsu, it's useless to try to separate yourself from me.
We're brothers after all.
