What? That's so cool.
Now, where'd it go?
Huh? Where'd you hide it?
You mean this?
Wow!
Hey, how'd you do that?
Make things disappear and reappear.
That's what we do.
Give it a try.
Whoosh! Oops.
I dropped it.
This is hard.
You'll get it eventually.
We can make anything disappear.
Even ourselves.
Make yourself disappear,
then reappear.
- Hey, don't just barge in. - I saw you.
Huh?
I saw you run on the roof and climb in the window.
I knew it!
Can you teach me, please?
- No way! - Teach me!
Teach me!
Listen.
You can't tell Mom or Dad, got it?
Got it?
Okay. Teach me!
Forget it.
No.
Teach me!
That's enough.
Stingy!
You're so stingy!
NINJA-X SENT YOU A PHOTO
THIS WILL FETCH A GOOD PRICE
GIVE IT BACK
I'LL TRADE FOR A CERTAIN SCROLL
WHAT SCROLL?
THE ONE IN OUR HOUSE
"Our"?
OUR?
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does it make a sound?"
When I heard this question,
I thought, "What arrogant creatures we humans are."
There may be no humans,
but the birds, the deer, and the plants are listening.
So of course it makes a sound.
"Sound does not exist if no humans hear it."
Does this only apply to the forest?
I don't get it.
Get what?
His appeal.
But you were glued to the screen.
It's my job.
What do his followers see in him?
Extra broth, green onion, raw egg.
Large with kimchi.
Want a bite?
We are not miserable, voiceless victims.
Don't forget.
Just as you're watching me now,
I, too, am watching you.
Always.
What? Wait!
Huh?
- It's a live stream. - No replay?
- No. - Large.
One large.
I am deeply sorry for the distress I've caused.
The article about my affairs with many women is accurate.
- What? - I was rash and thoughtless.
- Nothing. - Adultery is an unforgivable sin.
Dad?
What?
What's "adultery"?
I am truly very sorry.
Above all, I owe my wife an apology.
It's forbidden love.
That's what makes it so exciting.
I intend to apologize to my wife in person--
Thanks to Mayuko, our new sales chief,
our brewery will be featured in a foreign magazine.
So we'll take a family picture for the article.
What?
- A picture? - Yes.
- In a magazine? - Yes.
Let's do it!
You never told me about this.
I'm telling you now.
Nagi. Come to the brewery, 2:00 p.m Saturday.
Uh-huh.
- Hey! - Come to the brewery on Saturday. Got it?
- We're taking a family photo. - You're not my boss.
That leaves Haru.
Status report?
There was a yellow flower in Tsujioka's room.
Infiltrate Gentenkai and get that flower.
Don't get caught.
Stop with the orders. It pisses me off.
Apparently Tsujioka hardly ever leaves that place.
And what about that girl?
What about her?
Did she see the flower too?
If so, we can use her.
No, I'll go alone.
How sweet of you.
Fine. One way or another, you're getting the job done.
Don't go there anymore.
She'll notice you.
I just like their beef bowls.
You look great, Ms. Misa.
So?
Right.
Your target, Matsuura,
is looking for love on a matchmaking app.
He looks like an average Joe,
but he's our only lead in the cruiser incident.
I posed as his ideal woman and asked him out.
By the way, Matsuura is a jazz enthusiast.
He thinks you're a jazz lover too, so play along.
Jazz is just the worst.
Jazz… is just the best.
I like jazz too.
We have a lot in common, Ms. Misa.
We really do.
What do you do for a living?
I work for a travel agency.
Really? You must fly all over.
No, I do domestic travel, so it's rather dull.
Well, Japan is lovely too, right?
Yes, but it's stressful dealing with clients.
So on days off, I try to blow off steam.
With… jazz?
Yes.
We have a lot in common.
I'm glad.
IS YOUR PARTNER ACTING STRANGE?
DID YOU KNOW? INFIDELITY AMONG WOMEN IS ON THE RISE
A WHOPPING 24.1% INCREASE IN 10 YEARS!
No.
It can't be.
Boss.
Yes?
What is it?
Did you ask your family about the photo shoot?
Yes. Of course.
That's great.
They're sending a crew from France to cover it.
Let's make sure it goes well.
By the way, the article title…
Title?
"Familial bonds create traditional flavor: Tawara Brewery."
You don't like it?
I like it.
It's great, Mayuko.
Bonds!
Familial bonds.
Guess what, Mr. Kuze? I worked on my first mission today, and--
Good luck.
Like a needle in a haystack.
Still a long way to go,
rookie.
Yeah?
Haru, it's me.
Can you come to the brewery at two o'clock this Saturday?
We're taking a photo.
Sorry, gotta run.
Sorry.
It's entirely up to fate.
So there isn't a specific requirement?
To be chosen, I think you need to show a change in faith and consciousness.
I see. Yes, you're right.
Hello.
Are you a new member?
Yes.
This way, please.
Will I be able to meet Mr. Tsujioka?
I understand how you feel, but…
I've been here for two years and haven't met him.
Every day, I pray it will be my turn next.
But he is here, right?
Of course.
Right here.
This way.
Welcome to this place of connection and awareness.
I am Yosuke Tsujioka, the head of this association.
First, let me thank you
for choosing to knock on our door.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
In this society overflowing with materialism,
I believe it's a sign of hope that…
When an externality has a negative impact,
it's called a negative externality.
When the impact on the third party is adverse,
that means it resulted in a negative externality.
For example…
NINJA-X: SCROLL IS TITLED "VISION OF CALAMITY"
THE ONE IN OUR HOUSE
A scroll…
What's up?
Nothing.
In this case, the business imposed
a negative externality on the local residents.
I'm in the middle of a lecture.
For example, if someone makes noise on a train or on the street
and it bothers other people, it's a negative--
- Sorry to interrupt your class. - Yes?
- We're from the police. - Police?
We need to speak to a student.
What? Now?
I'm afraid so.
Testing.
Well…
Kohei Kyotani.
Econ major Kohei Kyotani, are you there?
What?
Who, me?
- You're Kyotani? - Yes.
We need to talk.
Come with us.
What?
Me?
- Hurry up. You're holding up class. - Yes, sir.
It was amazing, Nagi. My first police interrogation!
Get to the point.
Right.
You know that rob-and-return thief?
Turns out I went to every museum he hit.
Crazy, right?
So?
So I'm a suspect!
What?!
But it's okay.
I told them you were with me, so I have an alibi.
Good for you.
Man, that was scary.
Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen…
Seven, eight, nine…
One, two, three…
INSIDE OUTSIDE
Something doesn't add up.
Hey, kid.
Is Nagi Tawara here?
Sir, you're scaring him.
You're a detective?
Yes.
Is Nagi Tawara your older sister?
I think so.
What do you mean by that?
I heard that some kids get kidnapped and raised by someone else.
You think that's you?
I don't know. Can you investigate for me?
First, we have to find your sister.
What time will she be home?
Super late.
Around 11:00 the other day.
Oh! The other day!
My sister
ran across the roof and into that room.
Oh, really?
Take pictures.
On it.
Now, let's move on.
Why are you here?
Why? I could ask you the same!
I didn't tell you I was coming.
You had that look.
- Mr. Sawabe! - Hey! What is it?
Now open your eyes.
Your desires have taken shape.
Mr. Sawabe has come.
- Mr. Sawabe! - Mr. Sawabe!
Two people.
- Me! - Me!
You.
Thank you.
- And you. - Thank you.
Your next date with Matsuura is on Saturday.
Saturday?!
Yes, he'd like to see you again.
I can't do Saturday.
You have plans?
Well, it's just…
Anyway, all he does is talk jazz. There's nothing there.
But he's our only lead.
You're going to a jazz performance, so be ready.
What's all this?
Ugh, where is it?
Who is it?
Hey, Nagi.
What are you doing?
Huh? Nothing.
Don't forget about Saturday. Be there, okay?
Um, what was it again?
The family photo.
Photo?
No one ever listens.
- Oh, Dad. - Yeah?
That photo…
Will Grandma be there?
What?
Mr. Policeman!
Coming.
I found this over there.
Oh, thanks.
Good things happen to good people.
MR. SAWABE
NO CALLER ID
A cop, committing murder?
Who is this?
What do you want?
The yellow flower.
- What do you mean? - I'll release the video.
I wonder what Tsujioka will do.
They'll kill you.
I want the flower.
Cooperate and I delete the video.
Where do you take the Gentenkai members?
Take me next time.
Look for…
a red rosary.
Something's different.
Tastes the same to me.
No, not the beef bowl.
You.
You were so confident.
He's a murderer, you know.
Well, you know,
I've seen it in the movies.
I'm going with you tomorrow.
No. It's too dangerous.
Then,
protect me.
Like you did before.
What do you mean?
I know.
I know you're hiding something.
But still…
I wish you'd talk to me.
About yourself.
I want to protect you.
I'm going alone.
I don't get it at all.
Jazz?
That's unusual. What's this about?
I can listen to jazz if I want.
Anyway,
you'll come to the shoot tomorrow, right?
Sheesh.
Probably.
Probably?
You have to come.
I've got a lot going on too.
Anyway, I'll try to be there.
Don't "try," just be there.
The future of our brewery depends on this. Don't you get it?
I get it, okay?
Besides,
I bet Mayuko, that young sales chief of yours, talked you into this.
It's pointless.
Just a phony picture.
It's been six years
since the last one.
What?
Not a single one since.
I wanted to take one.
That's all.
Good night.
Wait.
Yeah?
I'll be there.
You should use the front door.
You startled me.
I want to ask you something.
What?
That day…
Gaku died, right?
Huh?
Did you really see it?
Why would you even ask?
What do you mean, "why"?
Did anyone confirm it?
We didn't have to.
Gaku!
Please…
Don't kill me.
Maybe he's alive.
Stop.
- Just listen-- - There's no way he's alive.
- Just accept it. - Forget it.
TAWARA BREWERY
This way, please.
This is where we store the extracted sake.
He asked if you drink with your family after work.
I don't drink alcohol.
Sis, we're leaving soon.
Sorry, I'm still picking my outfit. Go on ahead with Grandma.
But our outfits are at the brewery--
- Just go! - They have it--
I said go!
- Ms. Misa Ogino? - Yes.
This way, please.
Thank you.
DAD
Everyone,
welcome to this blessed place.
Are you ready?
This way.
Go ahead.
Please.
Now, please join hands and form a circle.
Listen to the voice of the Earth…
I thought we agreed.
I can't write about it unless I see it myself.
Let your mind and body be free.
Grandma, which pose is better?
- Let's see them. - Ready?
Not that one.
Come on, let's go. Hurry.
Let's go.
Seriously?
Let's wait a little longer.
What the hell is she up to?
Someone special is here today.
Ms. Misa.
This next one is for you.
Boss, your family is here.
Finally!
Dad, I thought of a pose.
Watch!
Ka-ching!
Just you two?
NINJA-X: ALMOST OUT OF TIME
Everyone,
open your eyes.
Mr. Sawabe is here.
- Pick me! - Me!
Hidden in the ceiling.
So cliché.
VISION OF CALAMITY
Hanzo?
I have to go.
Man, you have it easy.
PASSENGER LIST 3:20 P.M.
Please excuse me.
Please have a seat.
It's nice to meet you.
- I'm Karen-- - No need for that.
Names just get in the way.
I want to know the real you.
Behind you, I see something…
Red…
A fire?
I see.
You lost your parents.
How…
You were the only survivor.
You were so young.
And from you…
I hear a gentle sound.
Almost too gentle.
Please stand up.
This is a test that all members take.
Set her free.
Let's go.
What?
You haven't changed.
Well, how about this?
This man has a heart of gold.
He has set countless people free.
Now it's your turn to free him.
Go on.
Let him go.
Be careful on your way home.
Your wife and child need you.
Why?
I was devoted to you.
I believe it's time you left too.
Oh, right.
Here.
Don't forget this.
Take care.
Go.
We're finally alone.
I've been waiting for this.
Don't worry, I won't harm you.
Neither you nor that woman.
For now, that is.
Why, you ask?
Because long ago,
you gave me my future.
"Please…"
"Don't kill me."
"I have a future."
"Just like you have a future."
"I beg you…"
You defeated me that day.
But I was reborn from the brink of death.
I inherited the ancient soul passed down for 18 generations
and became a god.
Fuma Kotaro will never die.
Shall we put it to the test?
Kill me.
Go ahead and try.
Is that all you can manage?
You lost your kin,
yet you still can't kill.
Shall I kill that woman next?
Do not disappoint me,
son of Hattori.
You…
created me.
