Hey there, humans. I'm GeGeGe no Kitaro.
They say people with exceptional abilities who get chosen are called elites.
What about you?
But be careful.
Just being called an elite,
can make you a target for assassination.
We've sealed off all entrances and deployed security.
The security is flawless.
Not even an ant...
No, not even a single bat could get in, Minister.
Notice letter At midnight tonight, your blood will be mine. - Johnny in the Mist
At midnight tonight, your blood will be mine.
Johnny in the Mist.
A vampire targeting elite ministers around the world?
Hmph! If you think you can come, then bring it on!
Hm?
Who the heck is playing guitar at a time like this?
Hey, go check it out.
Hey, wh-what's wrong?
Wha... wha... what is it?!
N-no... don't come any closer!
Hair Needles!
Are you alright?
Wh-who are you?
I'm GeGeGe no Kitaro.
Kitaro's Hair Needles are powered by his spiritual energy.
Remote-Controlled Clogs!
Believe it or not, Kitaro controls those clogs with his brainwaves.
Pretty awesome, huh?
He's the last of the prestigious Ghost Tribe, even among yokai.
That's Kitaro for you. Yep.
I see.
Ratman! What are you doing?!
Got myself a new gig!
Helping this guy out gets me a million in just three days. A million!
Always chasing money. Seriously, you never change!
Lately, I haven't been eating anything decent.
Gotta do what you gotta do to survive, right?
GeGeGe no Kitaro.
So even Japanese yokai have elites like you.
So you're the vampire Johnny.
Vampire Elite Johnny
Just for today, I'll let this go because of you.
We'll meet again, Kitaro.
Wait!
GeGeGe no Kitaro 2007
Ge Ge GeGeGe no Ge~
We leisurely walk in the afternoon
It's really fun, it's extremely fun
Monsters don't go to the office
Or go to work or anything
Ge Ge GeGeGe no Ge~
Let's sing together, GeGeGe no Ge~
Vampire Elite
Urban legend, Gegege no Kitaro, saves the minister?!
Last night, a cabinet minister
was attacked by a mysterious bat.
And the one who saved him
was none other than GeGeGe no Kitaro.
Kitaro, you saved my life.
Please, let me thank you properly. Contact me!
GeGeGe no Kitaro has long spoken of as an urban legend.
Could he really be real?
Urban legend, Gegege no Kitaro, saves the minister?!
Media outlets are now tracking his whereabouts.
That's Kitaro for you. Even in the human world, he's a celebrity now.
This calls for celebration! Cheers!
What a commotion.
Only now they realize how amazing Kitaro is.
Took them long enough.
Right?
Honestly, it's a pain.
All this chaos made it impossible to approach the minister.
We're dealing with a vampire who's attacking ministers all over the world.
Wonder what he'll do next...
I know!
I'll go on TV instead and hit big time!
Oh, totally. You're the rare beast of the century after all.
But giving advance notice before attacking?
What a weirdo.
I wonder what kind of vampire he is.
He's an elite vampire.
Pii! Monroe!
Monroe & Pii
When did you two show up in the alley?!
We stopped by while traveling the world.
What on earth are you doing?
Drinking tomato juice.
Health comes first, after all.
Do you know Johnny?
Of course, we know him. He's famous.
He uses his guitar to control people.
Even when vampires fight among themselves,
no one dares go against him.
Even vampires value their lives.
Johnny...
A vampire feared by other vampires, huh?
I hear something... a guitar?
It's Johnny!
We'll be taking our leave now!
So what did you even come here for?!
Kitaro, be careful.
Kitaro? Hey, what's wrong?
Now, come to me, Kitaro.
Kitaro, where are you going?!
H-Hey, hold on a second!
That's it, Kitaro.
Just like that, this way.
Alright, I'll take you somewhere real nice.
Ratman! What are you doing?!
Meow!
Ugh... Out of my way!
Kitaro!
Great Johnny, sir!
Whoa!
He's my secretary. That one's my guest.
Keep your hands off.
Old man! You were there?!
Trying to sneak in is pointless.
No intruder can get into my mansion.
Tch... Seriously.
Where am I?
Welcome, Kitaro.
Johnny, what are you after?
Why are you targeting cabinet ministers around the world?
To boost my fame.
If I attack them, the global media will cover me.
The name Johnny will echo around the world!
Their blood is stored inside these bats.
The quality and quantity of the blood I collect
is proof that I'm an elite.
You attacked people for something that stupid?!
You too will help elevate my name.
According to Ratman, you won't die just from having your blood sucked.
This is a flesh-dissolving drug called Kororipon.
Not even a ghost tribe member can recover from it.
Huh? Whoa, wait, wait a sec!
You never said anything about dissolving him!
Seriously, you shouldn't do that!
I'll do it. I'll dissolve him.
Dissolving him would be a waste!
He's more useful alive than gone!
Besides, if you make an elite like Kitaro your subordinate,
your prestige will go up, sir!
Hmph, you have a point.
But will he agree to it?
I'll convince him.
Very well. You have 10 minutes.
Hey, you need to be alive to do anything, right?
Just join the elite teacher's side already!
I refuse.
Now's not the time to be stubborn! I'm trying to help you here!
Keep this up and he'll really melt you!
Say all you want, my mind's made up!
Don't you understand my friendship?! We go way back!
Then you should understand!
No matter what happens, I will never agree.
Time's up.
Wait, sir! Just a little more time...
Are you prepared?
That indomitable gaze... it's splendid.
Defeating someone like you will boost my fame even higher!
Ughh... Kitaro!
I've taken down Japan's elite yokai!
I am the elite among elites!
Kitaro!
Ratman! Where's Kitaro?!
He's over there.
No way... I-is this really Kitaro?!
I warned him... but he didn't listen...
Damn fool!
Ratman, collect what's left of Kitaro's body!
It's useless... no matter what we do...
There's still some life in him!
Gather every last drop and bring it to a doctor!
A doctor? You mean Old Man Ido?
No... Ido's medicine won't work this time.
We're taking him to the Great Yokai Hospital in Osorezan!
There's a top-class doctor there.
If he gets treatment there, there's still a chance!
Alright!
Not a single drop left behind.
Up we go...
Hellooo! Just Johnny's secretary here, Ratman!
I'm not an intruder, okay?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Don't waste time! This is Kitaro's liquid. Don't spill a single drop!
Take him to the Great Yokai Hospital in Osorezan!
Got it. Are you coming too, Old Man?
River Otter, I'm counting on you!
Kitaro, hang in there!
Great Yokai Hospital
Doctor!
Hey, are you the doctor?
Indeed. I'm Osore, the yokai doctor.
Yokai Doctor Osore
Kitaro melted, so please bring him back!
-Shupapa! -Whoa... watch it!
He's completely melted. Treating him won't be easy.
Come on, I'm begging you! Do something!
Then pay up! One hundred million yen in cash!
O-one hundred million?!
I can't afford that! I'm behind on rent as it is!
Then get out.
But it's a request from Eyeball Father!
I don't care if it's Eyeball Father or the King of Hell!
They'll still have to pay for treatment.
Seriously...?
Hm? What's that?
Hm? Just some fish I caught on the way here.
Oh! It's ayu... wild-caught, huh?
Yep, firm flesh so it tastes great.
Wanna have it?
Really?!
If you treat Kitaro, sure.
Deal! Grilled fish for dinner tonight!
Uh... What exactly are you doing?
Imbuing Kitaro's liquid with Osorezan's spirit energy!
Preparing the base for life-binding restoration!
Oh! Did you just add salt and pepper?
I feel amazing today.
Um... sorry to interrupt your meal, but...
I was kinda hoping to finally get paid.
Ah, yes. I'll give it to you after I eat.
Kitaro's clogs?!
Those only move with Kitaro's brainwaves...
Even melted, he's still alive?
Kitaro's liquid is missing. Where'd you put it?
Huh? Beats me... wonder where it went.
Maybe it... evaporated?
But more importantly, about my paycheck...
Did you really think you could fool an elite like me?
Waaah! Take care, bye!!
This is why I told you to forget about the money
and just run for your life!
Don't shout right in my ear!
Whoa! Damn it!
Remote-control Clogs!
- Kitaro! - We've been waiting for you!
Rollo Cloth, take care of Dad and Ratman.
Got it!
Geez, you always end up filthy. Washing is a pain!
You came back from that state?!
As expected of Japan's top elite yokai.
Worthy of being defeated by my own hands.
Stop this madness already!
Prepare yourself!
You think that'll stop me?
My music resonates directly in the brain of whoever I control.
You can't defy me.
We'll see about that.
What is that racket?!
Music should be far more elegant...
This noise.
It's canceling out the yokai power in your guitar.
Take this!
My mansion...
My guitar... the ministers' blood...
My proof of being elite!
Curse you, Kitaro!
Elites don't need proof.
A real elite earns respect from others
and is naturally seen as one.
Shut up!
I'll show you the power of a true elite!
Spirit Hair Vest!
Internal Electric Shock!
Die, Kitaro!
Kitaro! It's too hot! I can't get near you!
Kitaro, hang in there!
Kitaro!
Fool!
No matter how many times you try, it won't work on...
Wh-Wh-What?!
Kororipon! Don't tell me... this was your plan all along...
Impossible! An elite like me... reduced to this...
To this...
And up you go~
He did it!
Ratman, this time you've gone too far!
How dare you trick Kitaro like that!
W-Wait! Let's talk this out!
We can work this out, right? Kitaro?
I'm starving. Ratman, wanna grab breakfast together?
Hey, Kitaro!
I heard from Father.
When I was melted into a puddle,
it was Ratman who gathered every last drop of me.
That's right! I saved Kitaro's life!
Now come on, treat your savior!
Meat! Barbecue!
I don't have that kind of money.
Didn't you get paid for your part-time job?
Actually, I didn't get paid...
I'm flat broke.
Then let's go home and eat some rice.
Oh! Now that's the spirit!
You've got warm food for them too, right?
Uh... Well...
Kitaro~!
GeGeGe no Kitaro 2007
He melted down. No more elite status for him!
He's so ruined, he wouldn't even make good miso soup stock.
Seriously! Wait, what is this creepy stare?
That stare... it belongs to...
Its identity right after this!
If in this world
Sadness had never been born
I would have lived today
Without ever meeting you
In my right hand, I hold passion tightly, and in my left hand,
I gently cradle kindness. Let's set out on a journey.
Oh, I want to take you with me
In my final moments
Just plant flowers for me
