Omokage Shrine
It was surely an oracle in your dream.
Needless to say, our Omokage Shrine has the family god of the Soma.
The blood of the Soma is connected to the family of Soma in
the center of Japan, and our ancestor was Lord Masakado Taira.
Probably, the white horse that appeared in your dream
was the messenger of Lord Masakado.
You have been chosen by Lord Masakado,
in order to fight against the enemy who disturbs his sleep.
I am sorry, Keiko.
I haven't been able to give you ordinary happiness as a woman.
No. This is my fate.
Tonight is the last day.
Perform the Kakai ceremony and see the person who will be your enemy.
Yes.
Who is it?
I am Yasunori Kato,
and I am the one who curses the megalopolis.
Doomed Megalopolis
The Gods of Tokyo
On September 1st, 1923, a huge earthquake hit Tokyo, causing
widespread devastation over the whole area of the Megalopolis.
The Megalopolis was turned into a burnt field as far as could be seen,
and people who lost their homes were forced into worry and desperation.
At that time, the person who stood up and became the leader
of the recovery effort was a businessman
who represented the Meiji era, Eiichi Shibusawa.
As for the reconstruction of the city, Shibusawa thought
of realizing the former plan of improving the Megalopolis.
As if someone knew his thoughts, a great plan came to him.
It was to establish a subway underneath the megalopolis.
Shibusawa instantly understood the necessity of a fast subway,
and this subway plan became the core of the Megalopolis reconstruction plan.
The city looked like it had started to move toward a steady recovery, however...
What? The mine roof caved in again? How many victims?
Okay. If necessary, I will send backup.
I understand.
The mine roof caved in again?
Recently, it's been happening repeatedly.
I see, it might be...
Mr. Terada, what is it?
It might be related to the disorder of the underground dragon stream.
Dragon stream?
Oh, that is what Mr. Kuroda, the Feng Shui guy told me.
The ground has vitality inside,
and in China, they compare it to a dragon.
If someone disturbs or changes the direction
of the flow of the dragon,
bad things will happen to the area.
Therefore, in China, when people intend to build a house
or dig a pond, they ask a person who can use Feng Shui.
Feng Shui practitioners use some kind of compass and
investigate the direction of the flow of the dragon power
in order to prevent vital energy from ceasing to flow.
You mean, Feng Shui is the study of telling the fortune of the stratum?
What a beautiful woman.
Mr. Shibusawa, if accidents happen continuously like this,
the Tokyo Underground Railroad company will become bankrupt!
Calm down, Mr. Hayakawa.
I am calm!
Yes, I am calm.
Come in.
Sorry for being late.
Mr. Tatsumiya, this is who I was talking about,
the Feng Shui practitioner, Mr. Kuroda.
I am Shigemaru Kuroda.
Anyway, what will happen if we continue
the construction of the subway without doing anything?
If the underground dragon wakes up, a huge earthquake,
bigger than the one we just had, would happen.
I feel that the underground dragon currently living under the city
is being manipulated by something evil, something really bad.
Mr. Kuroda, would you please quell the
underground dragon as a Feng Shui practitioner?
I will try.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Let me introduce her to you, Mr. Tatsumiya.
This is Ms. Keiko Mekata.
Oh...
I am Tatsumiya.
Wow, she's the daughter of the chief priest of the shrine?
Yes. The Omokage Shrine at Soma.
Mr. Tatsumiya found a good lady to be his wife, didn't he?
She's too much for Tatsumiya.
But I can see that she has been preparing for something.
The strength which only a person who has deeply thought and prepared;
how can I put this...
What?
You are the one who has sealed the dragon flow under the megalopolis, aren't you?
Who the hell are you?
Ms. Yukiko...
This is the god shrine of the Tatsumiya family.
This protects the Tatsumiya family.
What's the matter?
The devil, came out...
Devil?
There, there...
Wait for me!!
The cave-in accident stopped, but this time, a devil appeared!
I can't believe it!
Did we provoke the underground dragon, just as we feared?
No. There's someone who's manipulating it.
What?
I have some ideas about him.
He's someone who uses mysterious magic.
He's probably an Onmyoji.
Onmyoji?
Bishamon is the protecting god.
Frost on the chest is melting down
The sky shows the season of spring and
Houses and birds drop the shadow
The shape of the shadow makes me happy.
Excuse me, lady.
You are the Goddess of Mercy, aren't you?
You mean me?
Yes. There are two great supernatural powers.
One is the power of the Goddess of Mercy, and the other is the power of the Evil God.
Ordinary human beings can't do anything against either of them.
When the Evil God appears in this world,
it may be as a three-eyed boy or a humongous monster,
which means it appears as a devil.
The power of the Goddess of Mercy is the one that protects
human beings from the violence of the Evil God.
You have it.
By the way, I am sorry to tell this to a person like you,
who has the power of the goddess, but...
The devil is following you.
However, I know you don't care.
Please go through, please go through
Where is this narrow pass taking me to?
This narrow pass will take you
to the Tenjin Shrine
You can't go unless you are related to the shrine.
For the celebration of this child's seventh birthday,
I am bringing the charm to the Shrine
The way there is okay, the way back is scary
But you can go through while being frightened...
Ms. Yukari!
Ms. Yukiko!
You're Keiko Tatsumiya, right?
You're Yasunori Kato, aren't you?
Why did you come to the Tatsumiya family?
To fight against you.
The wild god Masakado forgot about his revenge,
and sent you to kill me, the one who intends to ruin the city...
Mother?
Anyone who interferes with me...
I'll kill.
Go ahead. If you appear in front of me on your own,
I don't need to waste time looking for you.
Welcome home.
Yes.
Did anything strange happen today?
Not really.
I see.
Do you want to take a bath, or would you like dinner first?
Yes...
Bath first.
Yes.
Oh, what is it?
Well, on the way back home, I walked by the Mitsukoshi department store...
Oh, how nice!
For me?
Yes.
Well, dear?
You have the day off tomorrow, don't you?
Why don't we all go out somewhere?
Mother, hurry, hurry!
I bought that umbrella for you.
Is this the place?
What's the matter?
Stay here!
Dear!
Ms. Yukiko!
What's that?
What's that weird voice?
This must be some kind of curse.
There is nothing on this picture, just as we thought.
But I saw it!
You saw it, too, didn't you?
Yes.
The devil we saw was some kind of spiritual existence.
It probably makes people go insane.
What does that mean?
As Mr. Kuroda, the Feng Shui practitioner, told us,
it must be some kind of energy.
We see it as a devil, but it doesn't really take form.
That's why we can't take a picture of it.
What shall we do?
We can stop the flow of the energy,
but if human beings approach it closely, they'll go mad.
In that case, the only thing we can do is use something other than a human being.
Other than a human being?
Damned Masakado.
You've started to calm the underground dragon.
I see, I see.
By the way, Mr. Narutaki, about the cave-in accident...
I've heard that people heard the voice of the dragon.
Ah, thanks.
Ms. Keiko, why don't you go see the accident site?
Well...
But, the dragon's voice is actually the sound of the wind, isn't it?
The wind blowing through the underground tunnel
can sound like the voice of an animal.
Hey, your way of understanding things is no fun.
It's a scientific approach.
Anyway, it's not clear yet about the relationship
between the earthquake and the subway construction.
I wonder if there will be another earthquake...
No, there won't be another earthquake.
What?
If Ms. Keiko says it won't happen again, it won't, right?
Dr. Nishimura, thank you for coming all the way here.
Doctor, I am sorry to ask you such a troublesome request.
Oh, not at all. The construction of the subway is the biggest project of the century.
He can contribute...
So, Gakutensoku must be happy about it.
To learn from the laws of nature...
It means I created it based on the movement of living things.
It's an artificial human being.
Mother!
Aunty!
Yasunori Kato, you're here aren't you?
Lord Masakado Taira has held the head of the dragon down.
Now, you can't manipulate the underground dragon with your power.
That's why you are trying to use Ms. Yukiko
to make Lord Masakado Taira's soul surrender, aren't you?
Aunty!
I won't let you have Yukiko!
I will protect you both.
Even if I die.
Thanks.
What the hell are you thinking?
I will protect both Ms. Yukari and Ms. Yukiko.
You, you're no longer a shrine maiden of the Omokage Shrine.
You're my wife!
Yes, and that's why I will protect both of them.
That's none of your business!
No. You are hoping that I will do it...
What?
Why do you need to lie to yourself?
You can't live without Ms. Yukari and Ms. Yukiko, and I know so.
You...
You don't understand anything. Leave me alone!
This is the underground flow of energy which supports the city.
This is the point where the devil appears.
As you can see, four dragon streams cross here.
It means, if we can break through this point at once...
The dragon penetrating the ground of the city will calm down.
That means the devils will lose their power, doesn't it?
Then, it's time for Gakutensoku to work, isn't it?
A sealed area...
What?
What's the matter?
Don't you feel it? The sound of the people's curses...
Curses?
Around this area, many dead bodies are buried.
Probably, those dead bodies are the ancient people
who were buried in order to calm the dragon...
There must have been lots of people buried alive.
Earthquakes have hit Tokyo repeatedly since ancient times, I guess.
The person who conquered this place used people
as sacrifices in order to calm the dragon for years.
Foolish Omokage Shrine maiden, Keiko Tatsumiya.
You'll see the power of my servant.
What is this?
Omokage Shrine maiden!
See how heavy the curse is for 2,000 years in the Megalopolis.
Damn. Good job...
What is that?
What's the matter?
We have hit an empty space.
Empty space?
It's the dragon stream!
This is the dragon stream?
It looks like a huge root from a plant or something.
Yes. By digging into that rock at the bottom of the flow,
we will hit the target...
It's there!
Dr. Nishimura!
I know!
Useless thing!
Dear!
Please stop!
What?
What are you doing?
Keiko, you too, what are you doing?
Because we have a stupid thing like this...
Dear, please stop!
Dear!
Aunty...
Ms. Yukiko!!
Dr. Nishimura!
Gakutensoku won't give up like this.
Keiko!
Ms. Yukiko has been kidnapped.
Don't pursue. She's a child of evil.
Please watch Ms. Yukari.
Why can't you listen to me? You're my wife!
You, you're not looking at me!
What do you mean? Why do you say things like that?
My brother...
Keiko, I, I love you, only you!
Oh, no!
No way!
Mr. Terada! Mr. Kuroda!
Yasunori Kato!
Where are you taking Ms. Yukiko?!
Mr. Kuroda, where the hell is this place?!
Probably, the place where the dragon lives.
Oh, where is Gakutensoku?
Oh, no! If he gets damaged any further, he'll become useless!
You intend to use Ms. Yukiko as a vessel for possession, don't you?
Vessel for possession?
This girl is useful in other ways.
I will use Yukiko as a sacrifice and give power to the underground dragon...
That's insane!
This is the place where underground spirits live.
You can't expect any help from Masakado.
Mr. Kuroda!
The underground dragon will wake up shortly.
Yasunori... Kato...
Mr. Kuroda, hurry!
Please go through, please go through
Where is this narrow pass taking me to?
This narrow pass will take you
Mr. Terada!
Mr. Kuroda!
Hey!
Did you get hurt?
I'm fine.
Doctor, Gakutensoku did his part perfectly.
Is that so?
It means...
Mr. Hayakawa, the construction of the subway can now begin again.
The way there is okay, the way back is scary
But you can go through while being frightened
Ms. Yukiko!
Aunty!
