Ghost Sweeper Mikami
Let the hair flow in the wind
A sexy body
If I jump around in this town in my high heels
Big money coming, yeah!
At the foot of the skyscrapers
The trap of anachronism
If they're dangerous and frantic people
I'll send them all to Heaven
My darling techniques
You can keep whichever you like
Bye-bye sadness, and find out
You have nowhere to go because you're a ghost
Bye-bye sadness, and find out
I'll find you now
Ghost Sweeper
You're causing a lot of trouble for others!
Stop resisting and submissively go to the afterlife!
Shut up!
If you don't want to die, get out of here right now!
This place is mine!
No one is taking it away from me!
I don't know what kind of regret keeps you lingering in this world...
N..No, not at all!
I'm sorry!
Wait!
H..H..Help me!
Die! H..H..Help me!
I don't know what kind of regret keeps you lingering in this world,
but I think you went a little too far.
I, Ghost Sweeper Reiko Mikami,
am now sending you to Heaven!
What did you say?
You want to challenge me?
You're about to lose right now!
Absorb!
ABSORB
Piece of cake!
Her name is Reiko Mikami.
She's a very capable first-class Ghost Sweeper.
Here Comes the Super Sexy Exorcist!
Ghost Sweepers are today's exorcists for hire who get rid of evil spirits and monsters
that are harmful to humans.
And his name is Tadao Yokoshima.
He works here as a part-time assistant.
And of course the reason he works here is...
My burning passion that wants to challenge unknowns and seek adventure!
Stop humiliating yourself like this every single time.
Nothing feels better than raking in money, huh?
Did you make that much money?
I was dealing with a big corporation.
[About $960,000 when Ghost Sweeper originally aired; closer to $1,175,000 today.] I made 100 million yen in a half day!
[About $960,000 when Ghost Sweeper originally aired; closer to $1,175,000 today.] 100 million yen?
[About $2.40 then; not quite $3 now.] And my hourly wage is 250 yen?
[An extra 40 cents an hour!] Can you give me at least 300 yen per hour?!
Look, this one looks good for the next gig.
Hey, hey... Look, this one looks good for the next gig.
Hey, hey... It's called Jinkotsu Resort Hotel.
It's called Jinkotsu Resort Hotel.
First of all, who would work for...
The outdoor bath is possessed by ghosts and they're losing customers.
250 yen per hour?
Did you just say "outdoor bath"?!
It doesn't pay much, but it should be relaxing.
O..Outdoor bath...
And, what were you saying about your pay?
What about my pay?
Are you okay, Yokoshima?
L..I'm okay!
This is nothing!
I'm going to die...
You're still young, get it together.
See ya, I'm going ahead!
Miss Mikami, wait up!
N..Not good, my conscious gets even blurrier when there's no woman around me.
If I don't hurry, my life will be...
That man...
That man is perfect.
All right...
ONE MILLION STICKS OF DYNAMITE EXPLODED!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Sorry, I'm so clumsy!
Didn't you just say "Yah!" or something?
I heard "Yah!"
First of all...
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Sorry, I'm so clumsy.
The impact triggered symptoms of my chronic disease.
What?
Th..There is some medicine right over there.
Will you please bring it to me?
MEDICINE Will you please bring it to me?
MEDICINE
N..No way!
Don't worry, there's nothing suspicious about it!
It's all good!
It's extremely suspicious!
Please...
I'll take care of it.
It failed again...
I thought I had found someone who would die for me.
Miss Mikami! Miss Mikami! Miss Mikami! Miss Mikami!
WELCOME TO JINKOTSU HOT SPRING Miss Mikami! Miss Mikami! Miss Mikami! Miss Mikami!
WELCOME TO JINKOTSU HOT SPRING Miss Mikami!
Miss Mikami!
A young female ghost who's around fifteen to sixteen?
It doesn't sound like she's related to our gig,
because the ghost in the outdoor bath is supposedly the ghost of a slovenly man.
B..But listen!
I was almost killed!
What's the problem? You're still alive, aren't you?
But it's a different story if you're willing to pay for the exorcism.
Th..This ***...
Well, now that I'm full...
Wh. .What about my food?
Let's go to the outdoor bath in question.
I'm coming with you.
Turning... Turning... Turning... Turning...
Turning... Turning... Turning... Turning...
Turning... Turning... Turning... Turning...
It looks like there's aren't any spirits present here.
M..Maybe it won't show up unless a woman is in the bath?
Then, why don't I get in the bath?
All right!
Turning, turning, turning, turning...
There it is! There it is!
L..I'm a member of Meiji University's Wonder Vogel Club.
I'm freezing, please help.
You frickin' idiot!
Why couldn't you wait another five minutes, no, even just three minutes?!
I was...
I came so close to worshipping the naked body of Miss Mikami!
I know you're just a ghost, but what kind of man would do such a thing?!
This is pathetic! It's so frustrating!
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...
What's his problem? Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...
Just don't pay attention to him. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...
[The word "sonan" means "to get lost". Mikami says, "Did you SONAN (get lost) on that mountain?" and the man answers, "Yes, I did (SONAN desu)". It's a bad pun.] So, you got lost on that mountain?
[The word "sonan" means "to get lost". Mikami says, "Did you SONAN (get lost) on that mountain?" and the man answers, "Yes, I did (SONAN desu)". It's a bad pun.] Yes, I did.
[The word "sonan" means "to get lost". Mikami says, "Did you SONAN (get lost) on that mountain?" and the man answers, "Yes, I did (SONAN desu)". It's a bad pun.]
Sorry.
They still haven't found my body, so it's lying there.
I see.
So, if they find your body and have a memorial service for you,
you'll submissively go to the afterlife, right?
Yes, I'm willing to do so.
Miss Mikami, I think a man, who's this stupid, looks like he's got stinky feet
and is good for nothing but athletic activities, should be sealed and burnt!
[Around $29,000.] Those talismans costs three million yen a piece!
[Around $29,000.] Who do you think is going to pay for that?
So, where's your body?
I'll take you there.
Am I supposed to go with him?
It's spring, but there's still some snow left.
That's why I'm sending you there, you know.
Y..You're so mean...
Hey, gal, listen, listen good...
Don't fall in love with a man of the mountain...
Hey, aren't we there yet?!
We'll get there in about two more hours.
T..Two more hours?
Give me a break!
I'm going to end up dead too, if I keep on walking in this weather!
You'll be just fine.
I'm familiar with this mountain, so don't worry about it.
First of all, you're dead because you got lost on this mountain, remember?!
"Ha-ha" my ***!
Death is near...
Don't remember when, but one day I died on the mountain...
Stop singing an ominous song like that!
The method I used earlier today was probably too complicated.
But next time he's going to die more straightforwardly.
Mr. Yokoshima...
What?
Let's take a break right over there.
What the...
Come on, Mr. Yokoshima.
Let's go in there.
Just man to man, spend some quality moments of friendship and youth together!
W..Wait a second!
Come on, for friendship!
L..l don't need a creepy friendship like that!
But at this rate, you're going to die.
G..Give me a break!
Hey, don't run away!
I don't want to! I don't like men!
I hate being cold!
I hate to die even more!
It's friendship! It's all about being young! I hate to die even more!
I'm not going to die!
I'm going to survive and snuggle with a girl who's soft and warm!
Hey, girl!
Mr. Yokoshima! Hey, girl!
Resort to force!
Please! Please!
I have no choice but to do this, just die for me!
He)', it's a girl!
You're so soft! You feel so good!
That's it! This is what I wanted!
Hey, wait, girl!
You have failed me!
M..Master...
Hurry up and go after him, or else...
Okay, I'll go.
It feels great...
It's all-you-can-drink-and-eat too.
It might not be a bad idea to stay here for a while since they're not paying me much.
Relaxing like this
makes me realize that humanity's ugly greed and wars are so meaningless.
Girl!
Mr. Yokoshima! Girl!
A naked girl!
Help me! Please help me!
Both of you, you're mine!
Sc..Scary...
You were forced to go inside the cave?
I like women better!
I don't want men!
I hate being cold!
I hate dying even more!
And, what about you?
Well...
My name is Kinu,
a maiden who died about three hundred years ago.
Hondara... Hondara... Hondarara...
I was sacrificed as a human offering in order to calm the mountain's anger. Hondara... Hondara... Hondarara...
After I died, I was supposed to turn into the god of the mountain, Hondara... Hondara... Hondarara...
but since I don't have the gift for it,
I couldn't became a god or go to the afterlife.
[Mikami calls Okinu a "jibakurei" or ghost that is bound to a certain place and can't go where it belongs or go to the afterlife.] It's true that an earthbound spirit can be released if the spirit switches with someone else,
[Mikami calls Okinu a "jibakurei" or ghost that is bound to a certain place and can't go where it belongs or go to the afterlife.] but why did you pick Yokoshima?
I figured that he'd gladly switch places with me
because apparently, he's okay with being abused and used by others.
I see.
Excuse me for being that way!
Now I understand your situation,
but I must go take care of my business first.
This place sure is creepy.
Yokoshima, give me the Divine Staff.
R--Right!
Miss Mikami!
Oh, no, the entrance...
Damn!
All the weapons and the talismans are outside of the cave!
So creepy!
It looks like we have no choice but to go pay a visit.
No way!
So, the mastermind behind all this is finally revealing itself.
What? Where is it?
Just knock it off and show yourself already.
This entire hot spring belongs to me!
I see.
Four hundred years ago, which was Keicho 3,
HOT WATER Four hundred years ago, which was Keicho 3,
HOT WATER you discovered the hot spring here.
HOT WATER But right after the discovery, you slipped, fell, drowned and died.
But right after the discovery, you slipped, fell, drowned and died.
You must be the earthbound spirit of this place.
Twitch!
Th..That's amazing!
Look how fast you figured that stuff out!
There's nothing Reiko Mikami's spiritual power can't figure out.
Excuse me...
What are you doing there?
Four hundred years ago, which was Keicho 3, you discovered the hot spring here. But right after the discovery, you slipped, fell, drowned and died. You must be the earthbound spirit of this place.
I'm so sorry about earlier!
He doesn't want anyone to get in the hot spring.
That's why he's been harassing all those innocent people by using me.
I didn't want to do it!
That's the truth!
But I couldn't disobey my master.
I must obey him unconditionally.
Please kill him!
Kill him so that I can go to the afterlife!
Shut up!
It's your business if you still want to be attached to whatever is in this world,
but I think you went a little too far with this.
Now I, Ghost Sweeper Reiko Mikami, will...
send you to Heaven.
Oh, no, he's strong! I don't have enough power!
Spirit Stone!
Now, go!
That was close.
The Divine Staff has no affect on him.
This is a problem.
Problem? What do you mean by that?
Basically, in the worst case scenario, he could kill both of us.
I see...
WHAT? I see...
I see...
What?
Don't worry!
You can still live even if you die.
Although, it's very agonizing.
Shut up!
Oh yeah, Okinu.
Yes?
[Just over $750,000.] I have a very powerful talisman that's worth 80 million yen a piece in the bag.
[Just over $750,000.] Will you go outside and get it for me?
Oh, okay.
I can go outside, but I'm not sure if there's space for the talisman to slip through.
You have no choice but to give it a try.
Yokoshima, you stay with me.
Let's go!
I don't want to go!
Okinu, I'm counting on you!
Oh, there's the bag!
No, this is not it. That's is not it either.
Oh, here it is!
80 Million Yen Oh, here it is! 312
