Dad, help!
Dad!
The world you see isn't all there is.
There are things you can't see.
See? In the darkness behind you...

Dad!
Dad, it's me, Masashi! I know you're in there!
Dad...
Dad.
Wait up, everybody.
Dad, come on! Wake up!
Dad!
Dad...!
No one's been able to reach you for two weeks! Everyone's worried!
Why did you wake me?
D-Dad...
Why'd you wake me... Why'd you wake me...
Why?!
CHAPTER 14
MAKURA-GAESHI AND THE FANTASTIC DREAM
Huh? Fired?
By fired, you mean... Huh?
Uchida-san, I've given you numerous chances to make up for your mistakes.
I can't cover for you anymore.
W-Wait a minute.
If I lose my job now my wife will never come back!
You have my sympathies.
But...
-Let's check it out some time. -Sure!
Why are you calling me now?
Well, actually...
Oh, how's Masashi doing?
Fine. He helps out and is studying hard.
You know, I think not having you around is better for his growth.
I-I see...
What do you want? I'm busy.
Oh, it's nothing.
RECRUITMENT SITE
"We regret to inform you have not be selected..."
Dammit...
Masashi, I'm sorry. It looks like your dad's finished...
Kagome, kagome
The bird inside the cage
When oh when will it come out?
In the night of dawn
A crane and a turtle slipped and fell
H-Hey, you kids.
The person behind you
Who is it?
K-kids, what time do you think it is? Go home already.
Why do you say things that a grown-up would?
Because I'm a grown-up.
I have a son about your age.
So I was just worried.
Liar.
You're just a kid.
Huh?
But...
Come on. Let's go.
Come.
Mana mentioned it the other day, but...
Daddy Eyeball-san, you don't look like Kitaro at all.
You're really his father, right?
Of course.
I'm just the eyeball that remains from my former body.
Huh? So you used to have a normal body?
What, you didn't know, Catchick?
Daddy Eyeball may look this way now, but when he was younger
he was the young descendent of the Ghost Tribe and quite handsome, too.
Oh really?
You didn't know either, Kitaro?
I wish I could've met you back then, Dad.
It's in the past now.
Hey guys, there's a letter in the mailbox.
Your father nearly killed you?
He fell back to sleep almost immediately, so he never hit me, though.
Oh my...
But now he won't wake up anymore.
When I mentioned it to Inuyama-san, she said you'd help, Kitaro-san...
There are rumors on the web, too.
They say lots of other grown-ups are asleep and won't wake up.
Dad's always so kind to me. I can't believe he'd try to kill me...
Masashi-kun, a father would never do something like that to a child he loves!
He must be under someone's control.
What?
Your father won't wake up because his soul must be stuck in the Dream World.
In that case, that guy must know something.
That guy?
The Makura-Gaeshi!
I don't know about that!
MAKURA-GAESHI
You tried to kidnap children to the Dream World and eat them once, didn't you?
Ever since some scary monk beat me up I haven't done that.
I swear on this pillow!
Is that all? Good night.
Oh. What a letdown.
What?!
Hey, Mana!
I was told that Makura-Gaeshi is an amazing guy who knows all about dreams,
but he doesn't know anything.
Hey! What did you say?!
He should just admit that since he doesn't know he can't do anything.
I'm the yokai who knows the most about dreams!
Are you sure?
Just watch!
Nemu, nemu, nemu, nemu...
Wow, it's a rainbow bridge!
Impressive, huh? Cross this rainbow bridge and you can go to the Dream World!
Oh wow! Not bad!
Good job motivating him to help, Mana-chan!
I gotta warn you first.
We're all about to barge into a dream that normally only one person's seeing.
You do that and that Dream World becomes really unstable.
Unstable?
Right. The Dream World is a place where any crazy dream comes true.
Hmm.
So, listen, whatever you do...
"What if we get attacked by a monster?!"
is the type of thing you should never think.
Huh?!
You two didn't...!
Everybody run!
Why'd you have to think it?!
Listen! Definitely don't think that anymore!
"What if this bridge collapses?!"
is an absolute no-no too!
Huh?!
You didn't...
You had to open your big mouth!
Oh! My bad!
Masashi-kun!
Kitaro-san!
FUDATEN SHRINE (CHOFU CITY)
YOKAI MAKURA-GAESHI
-"Ge." -"What?"
Are you all right, Catchick?
Kitaro?!
Glad you're all right! Let's get married!
Huh?
What?!
Can I copy your homework?!
Oh very well. Just this once.
Thanks!
You're always so nice, Kitaro.
Okay, let's take attendance!
Okay!
Ah crap.
The girls are stuck in their own dreams.
Makura-Gaeshi, this is the land of dreams Masashi-kun's father is trapped in, right?
Yeah. It looks like it's made from several overlapped grown-ups' dreams.
This is, Dad and the others' dream...
There it goes!
Oof!
Darn! It got away!
Got it!
Wow, you're good!
Whoops!
Hey, Akinori! Come on already!
Akinori? That's Dad's name.
Hold on a sec!
Is your name Akinori?
Is it, Akinori Uchida?
Yeah, it is.
Dad!
U-Um...
You're a good painter.
Yeah. When I grow up, I wanna be a painter!
Huh?
But Dad doesn't paint at all anymore...
Akinori-kun... No, Masashi-kun's father.
Huh?
How long do you intend to keep hiding in this dream?
You're a father! How can you forget your own son?!
What are you talking about?
Those kids are all sleeping grown-ups too.
-Makura-Gaeshi. -Hm?
Can you force them to wake up?
Yeah, but it'll be a little rough.
Don't!
Everyone's enjoying themselves as children.
Here they can stay as children in an eternal dream.
Who are you?
Hey! You've got the Bell of Dream Control!
I've heard of that.
Makura-Gaeshi used that bell to kidnap children to the Dream World.
Yeah, that's right.
But the monk who beat me took it away!
So this is your doing!
Those people have families and people waiting for them!
Free everyone from this dream!
No!
Everyone came to this Dream World because reality is too painful!
So why do you want to force them to wake up?!
Reality... is painful?
I won't allow anyone to break this world.
-That's right! -Get out of here!
Let's work together and defeat those people!
I've got this!
Dad!
Go, Majin Gunner!
Majin Gunner!
What is this?!
The children's dream must have taken form and come out!
-Do it, Gunner! -Beat those bad guys!
Gun Punch!
-Masashi-kun, run! -O-Okay!
Beam!
Hey, Kitaro! Do something amazing like that!
You say that, but...
Hair Needles!
Are mundane attacks all you can do? Don't you have any childlike dreams?!
Kitaro!
That's right.
Left in a graveyard alone right after birth,
you never had the luxury of having any childlike dreams...
Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
Separate!
These are...
...your memories?!
May you at least have good dreams...
You were sacrificed to a river god to stop a flood...?!
Kitaro!
I died before I could grow up!
And after I died, I saw many grown-ups who had lost their dreams.
That's why I led those grown-ups to this world.
So they could play with me forever...
You can die forever as a child too!
Kitaro!
Dad!
Kitaro!
Kitaro-san!
Oh no!
Dad!
Dad, help!
Give it up!
Dad!
Dad...?
This is...
Masashi!
Masashi!!
Impossible!
Dammit, Makura-Gaeshi, lend me your power!
-Huh? My power?! -Kitaro!
Everybody's a damn fool! Dammit!
Nemu, nemu, nemu, nemu...
Kitaro!
I'm sorry, Kitaro. If I hadn't ended up in this form,
maybe I could have let you lead a normal childhood.
But, that wasn't possible.
If I could, I would've liked to have been a father
who could protect you and let you dream childlike dreams...
You...
Who are you?!
One who'd do anything to protect his child...
I'm just a father.
Kitaro.
Dreams must end. That's what makes them precious.
I'm ending this dream!
Finger Guns!
Are you all right, Kitaro?!
Dad. What about Masashi-kun...?
Don't worry.
Masashi, I'm sorry.
It's okay, Dad. I'm glad you're back.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Huh?
The Dream World was really fun.
But I can't stay forever.
I'm Masashi's father.
Next time, I'll dream together with Masashi.
Oh...
The bell is broken, so I can't freely control it anymore,
but the Dream World will always be here.
If it ever gets too hard, feel free to come back.
I'm never coming back.
I certainly hope so...
Whew. I guess that ends that.
The grown-ups trapped in the dream are probably waking up by now.
Everyone, thank you very much!
It was nothing!
You two didn't do a damn thing!
You were both stuck in your silly dreams.
-Oh be quiet! -Yeah!
Kitaro, I was never able to let you lead a normal childhood.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I know you're always thinking of me, Dad,
and have always been there protecting me.
Thank you, Dad.
Kitaro...
Oh!
It's a rainbow, Dad!
I heard the sound of his geta
aitsu no geta no oto ga shitanda
I heard the sound of his geta
aitsu no geta no oto ga shitanda
Who is that behind me?
ushiro ni iru aitsu wa dare darou
I can't turn around
furimuku koto nado dekinaiyo
If I believe I can see an invisible power
mienai chikara wo mieta to omoeba
Beyond that darkness that can't be erased
kesenai yami no sono mukou
I heard the sound of his geta
aitsu no geta no oto ga shitanda
I heard the sound of his geta
aitsu no geta no oto ga shitanda
Clop-clop, clop-clop

Clop-clop, clop-clop

Clop-clop, clop-clop

Dad, a yokai who steals people's faces is...?!
