Takashi!
You're not the goalie.
So don't use your hands.
Akira...
You still don't belong to any club, huh?
Yeah, pretty much...
What do you even do rushing home like that? Study?
Of course not.
Then join the soccer team already!
Akira, I already...
Is that mine?
Hey! Who brought a phone to school?!
Crap!
Ah! Excuse me!
Humans,
have you all heard of the yokai that possess everyday objects?
If one of those yokai latched onto something close to you...
First, please make sure...
Is it your enemy or your friend...
The train will be arriving shortly on platform one.
What is this? I've got a really bad feeling about it...
H-Hello?
Hey Takashi, listen to me. This is sudden but important.
Huh? Who is this?
Don't get on that train.
Wh-Why not?
I'll explain later. Just don't get on it.
Huh?
I didn't get on...
That's good, Takashi. You escaped the grip of something truly evil.
Huh?
What was that just now?!
Wh-What the hell is going on?!
What just happened?!
It's exactly what it looked like.
I saved you when you were about to be snatched by a yokai.
Yokai?
Nonsense! That can't possibly be...
How rude, calling it a nonsense.
Now then, move the phone away from your ear and take a good look.
Huh?
Whoa!
You believe me now, Takashi? Everything I said is true.
I'm a yokai. Of course it's the truth.
Kitaro... Kitaro, are you okay?
Wh-What in the world is going on?!
It's him! This is his curse!
That yokai, Hundred Eyes, is starting to rise again!

The Curse of Hundred Eyes
Hundred Eyes
A-Amazing!
Lord Hundred Eyes' power is truly beyond comprehension.
If you knew the full extent of my power, you'd be even more shocked.
I'm exhausted.
It's still a struggle just to keep my body together.
To become whole again, I need the eyes of gifted children.
Have you found the remaining children, Ratman?
Ah, yes yes, of course I have.
What are you doing, you worthless fool!
Tch... You bastard.
Who do you think is the one who let you out of that sealing jar?
The moment you're free, you start acting all high and mighty.
There's nothing I hate more than incompetents.
Even my old underlings had more brains than you!
What...
Back then, the kids I captured
were moments away from being used as sacrifices.
If I hadn't let my guard down around Kitaro,
by now, I would've built a full-blown yokai kingdom...
I've finally defeated Kitaro!
N-No! Lord Hundred Eyes, he still has some power left...
Now I'll finish him off for good.
Die, Kitaro!
Not yet!
Take this! Internal Electricity!
So yeah, even I, the staff of Lord Hundred Eyes,
got blasted into pieces and scattered.
I was reduced to just a soul.
And I survived by possessing various things.
Then, three months ago, I ended up inside this cellphone.
And the one who picked it up at the shop, not knowing a thing...
...was you, Takashi.
So you were the enemy of humankind, right?
Then why did you save me?
Hmmm...
Over the past three months, watching you all the time, I started getting attached...
...or just pretend that's what happened.
Stop kidding around!
Watching me? Getting attached? What am I, a pet to you?!
Either way, once Lord Hundred Eyes is fully revived,
every human will become a yokai's pet, no, slave.
That's why he's gathering 50 children.
50?
It's said that the Lord's hundred eyes
will unleash a hundred calamities.
To gain that terrifying power, Lord Hundred Eyes
needs to replace all the eyes with ones from the gifted children.
So two eyes each in those 50 children.
That's a hundred eyes in total.
So that's why he's after us...
Looks like it's one of your friends.
Hello?
Takashi, help me! Eyes! There's a monster with eyes!
A-Akira!
It's Lord Hundred Eyes!
You hold onto this.
I'm off to the next child.
Yeah, yeah.
Sheesh... guess that's that.
Man...
Can I really expect anything good to come from listening to someone like him?
Feels like I got myself mixed up in something messy again.
That's it! Your friend is inside that jar!
Yikes! How'd he figure it out?!
If it's running, I'm your guy!
Wh-What the heck is with that kid?!
Whoa! He's freakishly fast!
Crap, crap!
Hmmm... There.
Like this.
It's only a temporary fix,
but it should ease Hundred Eyes' curse a little.
Thank you very much...
Oof. No way I'm getting caught!
Wait, Takashi!
Don't go any farther! I can sense Lord Hundred Eyes' presence!
But that's Akira, isn't it?!
Yes.
But while we might've gotten him back from that Ratman...
there's no way we can win against Hundred Eyes.
No! I'm getting Akira back no matter what!
S-So this is... him...
G-Get out of the way!
Akira!
Where are you?!
Brat, where are you?!
This... this is bad... I've reached my limit...
I can't maintain this form any longer...
Looks like he's gone.
That's amazing, Takashi!
I had no idea you had such physical ability.
This isn't the you I've seen these past three months.
For Akira...
I have to save Akira. No matter what.
It was just a practice match...
but I tried to show off, and because of that... Akira...
So that's why you quit soccer.
Even though you had so much talent...
- Fascinating! - Huh?
You're a fascinating, compelling human being.
I'll be studying you even more from now on.
Cellphone...
Hmph... That's a bit rude, don't you think?
Then what is your name?
I don't really have a name. If I had to pick one, it'd be "Hundred Eyes' Staff."
That's a mouthful.
Bakero...
How about Bakero?
What's the story behind that name?
No real reason. Just felt right.
Alright, let's go with that.
Now, use me right away. Contact GeGeGe no Kitaro.
Huh?
Kitaro is on the side of humans.
But you fought him before, didn't you?
If he finds you, he might take you down too.
Then I'll deal with it. First, I want to save you.
Kitaro
Now, dial this number.
No no, that's not how. Don't tell me you've never seen an old phone?
You don't press the buttons, you rotate the dial.
What?
That's how you call in the spirit world.
Hello, yes?
Wh-What did you say?!
Hey, Kitaro! It's a human kid asking for you!
Huh?
Sounds like Hundred Eyes' attacking him.
Hello, I'm Kitaro. Who's this?
Uh... well...
I'll explain everything.
So the children are all gathered.
Th-The eyes of these kids...
Ugh... That's way too cruel...
I understand what's going on. But I have one question.
What is it?
Why go as far as asking me, your former enemy, to save humans?
Even defying Hundred Eyes, your former master...?
I want to observe humans more.
Humans are fascinating. There's a lot to learn from them.
Take down Lord Hundred Eyes again, Kitaro.
Once Lord Hundred Eyes replaces his eyes, we won't get another chance.
This is the only time!
Now, Ratman, take the children's eyes.
Guh... I can't... I don't want to...
I can't! No way I can do it!
What are you whining for, you coward!
Why are my underlings always so useless...?
Fine, I'll do it myself...
With this, I'll gain the power to control all of Japan.
Stop it!
You again, that brat from before!
S-Stop, Takashi!
But if I don't, Akira's going to...
You little punk!
Watch out!
Bakero!
R-Run, Takashi!
That voice...
R-Run!
You punk...
Why are you defying me?
If you survived, why didn't you come back and serve me?!
Bakero!
I won't let anyone stand in my way!
I'll stop you as many times as it takes, Hundred Eyes.
As long as you keep trying to rule over humans!
GeGeGe no Kitaro...
Th-This isn't good.
If this keeps up, my body will fall apart. I have to end this quickly.
You pest!
- Catgirl, take Takashi! - Got it!
I can't control my Remote-control Clogs...
Even with the sealing bandages,
Hundred Eyes' curse is still strong.
- Let's go! - Wally!
Since Kitaro's power is weak,
we'll back him up!
Exactly!
Hmph! Pathetic weaklings.
- Cloooth! - I'll crush you all at once!
Damn it!
Hundred Eyes! I'm over here!
Ngh... What is this monstrous power?!
Is his power really limitless?!
- Takashi... - Bakero!
Remember what just happened!
His weak spot...
No... I'm reaching my limit...
Since Hundred Eyes hasn't replaced his eyes,
there's one weak point!
Wait! It's dangerous!
Hey!
Kitaro, I saw it just now!
He can't maintain his form for long!
I see, Kitaro...
If he doesn't renew his eyes, his power isn't limitless.
Eventually, he'll burn out and won't even be able to hold his shape.
But the question is, can we last until then...?
Hundred Eyes, let's finish this.
Will you overpower me, or will I outlast you...?
I'll finish you off!
Kitaro!
N-No... My body... My body's...!
Okay! Now, everyone!
- Wally! - Let's go!
I won't go down like this!
Wally~...
Kitaro, hang in there!
Yes, Father!
Now's our chance!
Old man! Wally Wall!
- Yeah! - Wally~!
Sand Witch!
You got it! Fire sand!
Hot! So hot!
Wally Wall!
Got it! Wally Wall!
Wally...
Wall!
Alright!
We pulled it off, Father!
We did it, Bakero! We really did it!
That was a great kick, Takashi...
You really love soccer, don't you?
And yet...
Ba... kero...
Fascinating...
Human emotions really are intriguing.
I must keep studying them...
Bakero...
Bakero!
Ah yes, for that one,
the new BAK700 model is the same price, actually...
No, I want this one.
What even happened, anyway...?
Why was I even there?
Maybe... it was all just a dream.
Hey, Takashi. Sorry to pop in, but listen.
The truth is, Kitaro and the others saved my life.
I've decided to stay in the Yokai Alley for a while.
I'll drop by again if I feel like it.
Oh, and one more thing...
What's wrong, Takashi?
Oh... I got a text from my friend.
He told me to give soccer another shot.
Hmph! Right! No, this one goes up!
Great score, old man.
Look, Kitaro!
My brain age is 90 years younger than Rollo Cloth's!
Ugh, how frustrating...
You've totally won over that gadget-loving old man.
I've grown fond of this body too.
Thanks for fixing me up.
Isn't that great, Father? Cellphone's part of the crew now.
Indeed.
- Hey, Kitaro. - Hm?
Don't call me "Cellphone" anymore.
I'd rather you use the name my friend gave me.
Oh yeah, what was it again?
It's Bakero! From now on, that's me!
You got it. Welcome aboard, Bakero.

Hey there, I'm Bakero! Nice to meet you all.
Yeah!
If anything comes up, just shoot me a text.
A... text?
Huh? Don't you know what a cellphone is?
Its identity right after this!
If in this world
Sadness had never been born
I would have lived today

In my right hand, I hold passion tightly, and in my left hand,
I gently cradle kindness. Let's set out on a journey.

In my final moments
Just plant flowers for me
