Ghost Sweeper Mikami
Let the hair flow in the wind

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 bitch...
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 ass!
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!
Oh, here it is!
I'm scared! I'm very scared!
This is it! This must be it for me!
Now that it's come to this,
we have no choice but to fight him with
our spiritual powers combined.
Now, concentrate your spiritual power!
That's easy to say, but I don't have
stuff like spiritual power!
Almost...
I'm going to die! I can't take it anymore!
Oh, I wanted to jump in a swimming pool
with a bunch of cute girls in swimsuits
and get mobbed by them just once before I die!
Enough of your daydreams, just concentrate!
You're a man, aren't you?
Oh, what the heck!
Take this!
If we're going to die,
let me die on your chest at least!
Th..They're so soft...
At that moment, all of Yokoshima's nerves
focused on a single point.
We did it.
Yokoshima's focus level must have been
heightened tremendously just for a second
and emitted a spiritual power
as strong as an exorcist's.
That must have synchronized with my spiritual
power and swept the evil spirit away!
L..l see!
We did it, Miss Mikami!
That felt awesome...
Now I can't wash these hands for a while.
I'm so sorry it happened to such
an expensive talisman.
That's okay, you really did your best.
Th..Thank you so much!
Now I can finally go to the afterlife.
Wonder Vogel Club!
Yes, ma'am!
Why don't you forget about going to the afterlife,
and become the god of this mountain
for Okinu instead?
What? The god of the mountain?!
Snow... Rocks... That's our home!
I'll do it! I'd love to do it!
Because we can't live in the city!
Now you can go to the afterlife, Okinu.
O kay?
Yes!
Power of the earth that holds this woman here!
Change your flow and release her!
Now I'm the god of the mountain!
For now.
But to acquire more power,
it takes time and discipline.
Yes, ma'am!
Oh! The sound of avalanches echo in the great
mountains far away where the gods live!
Yohodelihi!
What's his deal?
Thank you, now I can go to the afterlife.
No problem, you saved me some trouble too.
Mr. Yokoshima, I will never forget you.
I'd like to pass on the story about you
as the man who knocked down a ghost,
even in my next life.
You don't have to pass on a story like that!
Goodbye...
She's gone.
Yeah...
I know this is a silly question,
but how do I get to the afterlife?
You must have settled down here since
you've been tied down to the ground
for such a long time.
You'd better have someone perform
a purification ritual.
Oh, aren't you the one who does it?
Okinu, do you have any money?
What?
Okay, what about this?
Why don't you work for me to cover the fee?
[Not even 30 centsl] I'll be very
generous and pay you 30 yen per day.
I'll do it!
I promise I'll work very hard!
She's so evil.
Ghost Sweeper:
It's a dangerous occupation that requires you
to live side-by-side with death.
As if!
But he still loves his job very much.
-95% 031' Ghost Sweeper Mikami wéamao
-95% 031' sweeper Mikami
I received an exorcism request
from Kanegura Bank.
[About $96,000.] At any rate, ten million
yen is far from enough for the job!
Now it's come to this,
it sounds like I have no choice but to rob the
bank with those not-so-reliable ghosts.
Ghost Sweeper Mikami,
the next episode is

A ton of money is guaranteed
It's absolutely nonnegotiable

No matter what kind of ghost it is, I take care of it
You don't cry any more
Don't run away because I know you will win
Trust only me

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!
Oh, here it is!
I'm scared! I'm very scared!
This is it! This must be it for me!
Now that it's come to this,
we have no choice but to fight him with
our spiritual powers combined.
Now, concentrate your spiritual power!
That's easy to say, but I don't have
stuff like spiritual power!
Almost...
I'm going to die! I can't take it anymore!
Oh, I wanted to jump in a swimming pool
with a bunch of cute girls in swimsuits
and get mobbed by them just once before I die!
Enough of your daydreams, just concentrate!
You're a man, aren't you?
Oh, what the heck!
Take this!
If we're going to die,
let me die on your chest at least!
Th..They're so soft...
At that moment, all of Yokoshima's nerves
focused on a single point.
We did it.
Yokoshima's focus level must have been
heightened tremendously just for a second
and emitted a spiritual power
as strong as an exorcist's.
That must have synchronized with my spiritual
power and swept the evil spirit away!
L..l see!
We did it, Miss Mikami!
That felt awesome...
Now I can't wash these hands for a while.
I'm so sorry it happened to such
an expensive talisman.
That's okay, you really did your best.
Th..Thank you so much!
Now I can finally go to the afterlife.
Wonder Vogel Club!
Yes, ma'am!
Why don't you forget about going to the afterlife,
and become the god of this mountain
for Okinu instead?
What? The god of the mountain?!
Snow... Rocks... That's our home!
I'll do it! I'd love to do it!
Because we can't live in the city!
Now you can go to the afterlife, Okinu.
O kay?
Yes!
Power of the earth that holds this woman here!
Change your flow and release her!
Now I'm the god of the mountain!
For now.
But to acquire more power,
it takes time and discipline.
Yes, ma'am!
Oh! The sound of avalanches echo in the great
mountains far away where the gods live!
Yohodelihi!
What's his deal?
Thank you, now I can go to the afterlife.
No problem, you saved me some trouble too.
Mr. Yokoshima, I will never forget you.
I'd like to pass on the story about you
as the man who knocked down a ghost,
even in my next life.
You don't have to pass on a story like that!
Goodbye...
She's gone.
Yeah...
I know this is a silly question,
but how do I get to the afterlife?
You must have settled down here since
you've been tied down to the ground
for such a long time.
You'd better have someone perform
a purification ritual.
Oh, aren't you the one who does it?
Okinu, do you have any money?
What?
Okay, what about this?
Why don't you work for me to cover the fee?
[Not even 30 centsl] I'll be very
generous and pay you 30 yen per day.
I'll do it!
I promise I'll work very hard!
She's so evil.
Ghost Sweeper:
It's a dangerous occupation that requires you
to live side-by-side with death.
As if!
But he still loves his job very much.

I received an exorcism request
from Kanegura Bank.
[About $96,000.] At any rate, ten million
yen is far from enough for the job!
Now it's come to this,
it sounds like I have no choice but to rob the
bank with those not-so-reliable ghosts.
Ghost Sweeper Mikami,

Armed Robbers Have No Tomorrow! the next

I'll send you to Heaven.

Looking good, strike a pose
I'm on my way to take care of business
A ton of money is guaranteed
It's absolutely nonnegotiable
The more dangerous it is
The more exciting it becomes
No matter what kind of ghost it is, I take care of it
You don't cry any more
Don't run away because I know you will win
Trust only me
You don't cry any more
I'm sure tomorrow we can have
A much better time than today
Believe in me
