Brainwashing isn't done only through fear. It can be done through ambitious desires.
Tsubomi.
I need you to sleep for a while.
Forget about that. Hurry up and tell me where Ritsu is,
granny.
Who the hell are you calling "granny"?
I can't afford to spend time on you now.
So, you did that to Ritsu?
HQ contacted me.
The Boss will be here soon, too.
Boss!
Is he the Boss from HQ?
Master...
Let's go.
Maybe he's trying to get out of here while they think he's the Boss.
STILL NOT POPULAR
Boss!
Hold on a second!
Oh, no.
This guy is trouble.
Who the heck are you?
The General of Seventh Division of the psychic power organization, Claw.
I'm Ishiguro.
So, who are you?
I'm Arataka Reigen, head of Ghosts Etc. Agency.
See the website for details.
Hell no!
Why were you dragging your foot?
That?
I got some gum on the bottom of my shoe.
-Can you just... -You're a goddamn fake!
You weren't trying to fool them?
What?
Master.
What the heck were you guys doing?
How did you let this guy trick you?
You really are a useless bunch.
How dare you impersonate the Boss and try to push me aside!
I will crucify you!
My body is becoming numb!
What the heck is this?
Get back, Master. You're the ghost specialist.
I see! So, you're an Esper, aren't you?
You hid your aura, so I couldn't tell.
What? Who are you?
This is nuts! Let's run!
Okay!
-Hurry! -Ouch! That hurts!
-What now? -Go that way!
-Hurry! -Ouch! That hurts!
I won't let you get away.
He can teleport. What amazing power.
I'm no match for him.
Here it comes.
My senses are definitely tingling.
The signals are blowing me away!
Only you can fight this guy, Kageyama. We're counting on you.
What?
MOB 90%
I'll take care of this.
-Yes, sir. -I agree you are truly strong.
But unfortunately,
you'll never get close to me
before I flatten you.
Shigeo!
Mob!
You must be pretty good if you can withstand my power.
Okay, then I'll increase the gravity!
He can control gravity?
Shigeo can't fight him.
He's resisting it just enough, so it doesn't crush him.
He's quite adept.
Anti-Esper Dropkick!
Master.
Mob.
Do you intend to fight these jerks with your psychic power?
I told you that you shouldn't use it on people.
Will you break that rule?
What kind of rule is that?
He couldn't help it. He did it to save us.
Mob...
I didn't know...
you were forced to make such a decision.
It must have been hard.
This guy is really bad at facing off against people.
Especially against adults like you.
How can you bully
an awkward, easily depressed kid like this?
It ticks me off.
Damn you for stressing out my apprentice!
Let me teach you guys something.
You shouldn't hurt people.
That's why I won't let these kids fight with you.
But...
if you insist on ignoring me,
then I will fight you.
You're going to fight us?
Master...
He must have some hidden power.
Watch this.
I was expecting more.
What a joke.
While you're watching this...
Hypnotism Punch!
-What? -He just plain punched him!
That is not a psychic power!
Quit screwing around.
Watch out!
How did you do that?
There is no way you can fight us.
We are Claw.
We're a group of Espers.
You see, we will conquer the world.
You can't be serious.
Do you really think you can do that?
Each of you is...
a child that never became an adult.
Mob! Run away!
Crush them!
-What? -Hey, aren't you going to fight, too?
Are you crazy? They're on a totally different level.
-What? -What?
Kageyama, help us fight them!
You're right. I have to stop them, but...
You're the only one who can, Shigeo!
No! Don't fight back!
I'm the adult here! I'll figure something out!
"Figure something out"?
If this keeps up, we're all going to die!
Hanazawa!
Ritsu!
Master!
I can't let them all die.
My only choice is to fight.
No matter what...
might happen to my enemies.
MOB 95%
Feel my...
malice!
No! Don't fight back, Mob.
It will only make you suffer more.
If you don't like something, then it's okay to run away!
Master!
I really don't want to hurt anyone.
But if I don't do anything, we're done for.
However,
you said it was okay to run away, Master.
So...
I'm leaving this to you, Master.
MOB 100%
Ouch.
What the heck is this?
It's a damn toy!
What?
How can he stand up?
-What? -What?
I'm sure you guys know
that real members of society have no time for foolishness like this.
What the hell do you know?
Who cares about society?
How dare someone who's lived in a proper society
try to lecture me!
I was abused and cast aside by society.
That's how I got this power!
I understand how you feel.
But you're mistaken.
No matter what kind of special power you have, you're still human.
You're nothing more or less than that!
What weaklings.
I'm a green belt in Shaolin Kung Fu, you know.
I get it. Kageyama channeled his power into Master.
This is blowing me away!
Master.
Thank you.

I guess I have to get involved now.
Five hundred kilos!
You know, I feel pretty good.
Leave this to the adult.
One thousand kilos!
Two thousand kilos!
-Let's go! -That hurts.
Even though you may be a strong Esper,
I would have to say that you're not a very talented one.
That's because you have no desire for control!
Don't talk while sitting on me. Get off!
What?
And another thing...
What's going on?
When you're talking with someone for the first time, take off your mask!
It's the takoyaki guy.
It's hard to get quality octopuses.
I didn't notice that you were an amazing octopus.
You hid your aura, so you wouldn't stand out, didn't you?
You did too, right?
But, why were you running a takoyaki stand?
I was trying to look for Espers without attracting attention.
I intended to remain obscure
until we took over the world!
Take over the world?
That's right!
We will be on top of the world!
You want to as well, right?
People will revere, flatter, and worship you!
That's what you want, right?
You mean, you want to be popular?
But, even if you have psychic powers...
you won't be popular.
What?
You'll never be popular. Give it up.
What are you talking about?
I'll destroy...
this whole school!
The whole school?
Destroy!
What's going on here?
This is bad.
Come on, you guys! Do something!
I can't use my power in here.
Me either.
I'll destroy us all now!
It's your sinister ambition that'll be destroyed.
Ekubo?
Did you possess his body?
Yes! That puts an end to this.
I have absorbed his power.
Ekubo.
Is this an evil spirit?
How come you can see me?
I think Master must have absorbed some of my power.
This will come in handy at work.
General?
I'm not your general anymore.
Seventh Division is disbanded.
What?
Then, what about us?
Maybe HQ will take you in.
Hey...
Jerks who abuse power and act like they're the boss...
always end up fading away.
Tsubomi.
The only way to wake a princess is with a kiss, right?
What?
Kiss...
Kiss.
Hurry up!
Back off!
Ouch!
How dare you play the prince! You'll never be one!
Tome...
That was a nice sleep.
What?
What am I doing here?
Right.
Well, you see...
The last thing I remember is singing karaoke.
What?
Isn't this kind of thing called...
What was it?
Anorexia?
I think you mean "amnesia."
What?
On TV, they say it happens to girls my age.
She seems pretty darn mixed up.
KAGEYAMA
-See you later. -See you later.
Shigeo.
What is it, Ritsu?
I wanted to be like you, Shigeo.
I wanted special powers.
Ritsu...
But I still want to become...
like you.
A nice guy.
Body building!
-Pump up! -Pump up!
In this world, there are supernatural powers
that cannot be scientifically explained.
Let's work hard tomorrow, too!
-Yes! -Yes!
Not everyone who has that power flaunts it
to frighten and control people.
Want to get some protein?
-Yes! -Okay. Good.
People with that power who use it inconspicuously to help others
are called...
nice guys who don't show off.
Oh, Shigeo.
Want to go home with me?
What? Whoa!
Oh, my god!
You're a creepy!
Tsubomi, I think you mean "creep."
Why are you so picky, Shigeo?
However,
even if you're a nice guy, unpopular guys will never be popular.
Dang! I'm tired!
It's all because you channeled your power through me.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
No pay for you this month.
Yes, sir.
Shigeo, you're far too kind to people.
The person who made me a nice guy is...
Master.
He saved me, too.
The only thing I want to do now is...
show my appreciation...
to Master.
