The priest of the mountain temple
Sees there are no stones to kick on the road
So he crams a cat into a paper bag...
He gives it a kick!
It lets out a meow!
What the heck?
Poor thing! Are you hurt?
Who'd do such an awful thing?
How cute!
Let us take it with us!
Sure!
Well, let's find some mushrooms to eat.
Whose idea was it to come out to the boonies to dig for matsutake?
I know, it's a pain.
Let's go.
Mountain Temple
We're almost to the mountain temple, right?
Oh my god!
We were about to fall off a cliff!
Some prankster switched the road sign!
Excuse me! Could you help us?
Please! PLEASE!!
What are you doing?!
The Village of Amanojaku
It's not my job to arrest criminals.
Open, But Conducting No Business
You gotta be kidding me. Open, But Conducting No Business
Aren't you a police officer?
Just look on another street.
I know!
I'll make it up to you with some persimmons.
Hey!
Yes?
Bring the persimmons!
Yes, dear!
Oh my, welcome!
Here you are! Have some!
I'm starvin'! Thanks a bunch!
Have some, everyone!
-Please, do enjoy! -Jirayia!
Thank you!
They're very good!
What is this crap?!
It's disgusting!
-Geez, what a bust. -Hey Sasuke!
Kosuke!
Been a while, huh?
Doing okay?
Yeah!
You're looking well, Sasuke.
Sure.
This is my little cousin, Kosuke.
Be cool, okay?
He's so cute! I could eat him up!
I'm gonna go say hi to the priest.
Let's go.
Sasuke!
Welcome to our mountain temple.
Excuse me, Reverend Sir. What's with the townspeople here?
They're acting a little strange.
We do have some strange people in this town.
I see.
What's that?
New mushrooms I discovered.
Hey! Set them in storage, okay?
Hey! I don't see no matsutake.
Is that them?
Help me!
Seikai!
Seikai! What are you doing up there?
You okay?
Thank you very much!
The people of this town are creepy!
There's definitely something strange going on here!
Who the hell are you?!
Amanojaku
I am the yokai, Amanojaku! Amanojaku
I am the yokai, Amanojaku!
Super Henge!
Red Slicer!
The yokai Amanojaku had a rebellious personality.
To put an end to his mischief, Bishamonten beat him down and stomped on him.
Strange... there's no Amanojaku here.
If he's missing, that means...
Who's there?!
Oh, Kosuke.
Do you know something about the yokai Amanojaku?
I... I was cleaning up around here like always...
Kosuke dear...
Kosuke deeear...
Kosuke dear... I'll never make mischief again...
Won't you do me one favor?
I've become a new man.
I've resolved to help the weak and downtrodden of the world.
Really?
So please, Kosuke dear...
Wouldn't you lift Lord Bishamonten's iron club just a bit?
I beg you! Please!
At last, I'm free!
After the pathetic humans of this mountain temple made fools of me!
What a loser!
Now I'll teach humanity a lesson they'll never forget!
Don't tell anyone about me.
Kosuke. Is that why you called me here without telling anyone?
Yeah.
I bet the townspeople changed after the Amanojaku got away.
Am I right, Kosuke?
The mushrooms!
The priest found those new mushrooms
and he fed them to the townspeople!
That's when they started acting weird!
Kosuke! Let's have a look in the storehouse!
Amanojaku. Now, rampage, and have your revenge for years of humiliation!
As you wish, Infernal Majesty.
I will use these mushrooms to turn all of humanity into amanojaku!
So these are the Reverend Sir's mushrooms?
These are the ones we saw?
Don't!
Very very happy!
I feel so high!
Jiraiya?
What's with you?
Stop it, Jiraiya!
Jiraiya!
I get it!
The mushroom! The mushroom's poison wore out.
You okay? Speak to me...
The Amanojaku raised those mushrooms. Anyone who eats them becomes an amanojaku.
An amanojaku?
Yeah. What do we call someone who says he's cold when everyone else is hot...
... who's determined to go left when everyone else goes right?
We call them amanojaku.
Sasuke! You don't think the Reverend Sir is...
The Amanojaku probably disguised himself as the old priest.
Kosuke!
Reverend Sir!
The nice old priest!
These mushrooms are much more delicious than matsutake.
Thank you!
Don't do it! Don't eat those mushrooms!
This is the yokai!
-The Amanojaku! -Hey!
-Kosuke! -Cut it out!
I praise you for discerning my identity.
Where's the real priest?!
I killed him.
You know, I spared you from my mushrooms as a reward for freeing me...
And this is the thanks I get?!
You okay, Kosuke?
Yeah.
Sasuke! He... he killed the nice old priest!
I won't forgive him!
So you finally understand, at last.
Listen up, Amanojaku!
You're gonna pay for all the evil you've done!
Let's go, everyone!
Super Henge!
Doron Changer!
Striking down evil, hidden from the eyes of men!
Ninja Squad...
Kakuranger stands before you!
Sasuke's a Kakuranger!
Useless effort. Come on, Doro-doro!
Judgment!
Heave-ho!
Shinobi Knuckle!
Sorcery!
Pitiful.
Give back the priest!
Give back the nice old priest!
Kosuke!
Come on!
Kosuke!
Sasuke! Leave this to us! Hurry!
Thanks guys! Kosuke!
Amanojaku... give back Kosuke!
Sasuke!
Kakuranger... I wish to avoid a pointless battle.
What?
I will peacefully return to the mountain temple
and retake my place at Lord Bishamonten's feet.
As proof that I'm not lying, I'll drop my weapon.
Go, child.
Sasuke!
Kosuke. You okay?
Yeah.
You're wide open!
Sasuke!
Did you see that, child?
That is the power of the Amanojaku's lies!
What a fool he was!
Thunder Sword! Hikarimaru!
Kakure Style! Thunder Slice!
You'd better not underestimate Kakuranger!
In that case, I'll become a giant and crush you into dust!
Run, Kosuke!
Give back the priest! Give him back!
Give him back!
-Give him back! Give back the priest! -Kosuke!
Kosuke!
Art of the High Ninjuu! God Simiadar!
Kosuke. You okay?
Yeah! Thanks, Sasuke!
Kosuke. You really are brave. But leave the rest to me!
We're here too!
Sasuke! Let's combine quickly!
Right!
Combine! Super Great Kakure Shogun!
Iron Fist Flying Finish! Simiadar Special!
Let's finish it!
God Simiadar! Two Sword Cut!
My amanojaku plan... is at an end...
Sasuke!
C'mon, this way!
I'm fine now.
Reverend Sir! You're okay! You're alive!
I must thank you for saving me, truly.
Glad it worked out, Kosuke.
Kosuke.
We found this cat on the way here.
Is it yours, by chance?
Tama!
Where have you been?
I was so worried!
In the last light of the setting sun
the red dragonflies play
I decided to chase after them
one day long ago
Plucking mulberries in the mountain fields
Eating them out of my little basket
Was it all just a dream?
To be continued...
