[faint chirping]
[Principal] Is your heart ready
to share the truth with her?
Na rid on,
the Demon Moon will rise tomorrow.
Beware the light of the moon,
lest you fall into the shadow of fear.
[flat electrical buzzing]
[distorted squawking]
[breathes shakily]
[indistinct voice echoing]

If only I had my Kushi. [Gasps]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [Gasping]
- [groaning]
- [gasps]
[groans, crying] Onari, I-I'm so sorry.
- [crying]
- Kappa? What are you doing here?
I-I didn't mean to hide my Kushi power
from you.
Kappa, we're standing
smack in the middle of the Oni village.
I'm sorry. [Sighs] I just couldn't bear
to leave things the way they were.
Remember the three P's?
Kappa, don't you understand?
It's dangerous here.
[groans] Just go home.
Onari, can't you come home with us?
- [quacks]
- [sighs]
The Demon Moon is tomorrow.
[sighs]
Exactly. That's why I'm here.
I've got to figure out my Kushi
before it's too late.
- [distant gurgle]
- [both gasp]
- [baby fussing]
- Huh?
- [Kappa] Are they... the Oni?
- It's okay.
I'm not sure. They aren't like
the one I saw in the Oni forest.
But we should still be careful.
[baby crying]
[parent] I know. [Shushes]
It's okay. It's okay.
[baby babbling]
[parent] What's so funny?
What are you doing, Kappa?
We don't know if they're...
[gasps]
My doll!
Uncle Putaro was right!
Onari, what's happening?
This doll is the only thing I have
from my mother.
I don't know what it means, but the answer
to her Kushi may be right there.
[baby giggling]
What should we do?
Let's follow it. But be careful.
That thing could tear us apart.
[giggling continues]
[Onari] Okay, Kappa. On three.
- One, two, three!
- [groaning shakily]
We're following her into this Oni cave?
- What?
- Huh?
[both gasp]
Hey, he looks familiar.
Boy, are we glad to see you.
We could really use a... help?
[both scream]
[gasping]
This place gives me the heebie-jeebies.
At least the Oni haven't spotted us yet.
- [shouting, speaking Japanese]
- [shutters clicking]
[gasping]
Let's hide in there.
[camera shutter clicks]
[both yelp]
There they are.
- [groaning, yelps]
- Come on! Hurry!
[Kappa panting] She's going too fast!
We'll never catch up.
Let's cut through here.
[panting]
[grunts]
- [recorded voice speaking Japanese]
- [up-tempo music playing]
- [gasps]
- Come on!
[cheering, shouting]
[screams] We got a duck!
- [grunts]
- [screams, groans]
[duck quacks]
Whoa-oh!
- [gasps]
- [squeaks]
- No!
- [squeaks]
What the duck?
- [up-tempo music playing]
- [player 1] Whoa!
[player 2 gasps] Oh, my gosh.
[crowd whooping, cheering]
Seriously?
- [music stops]
- [both panting]
Ah! That was them!
[bicycle horn honks]
You're kidding, right?
- [quacks]
- [grunting]
[both panting]
Look! Look, we-we're doing it!
How do we stop this thing?
Onari!
What? It's not the same.
[sighs] It's not the same doll.
[sighs]
I could have sworn it was the same doll.
[sighs]
[Kappa] Oh. You look like Tako-Neko.
My name is Kappa. Pleased to meet you.
[cat yowls]
[groans] Oh, come on.
- [Momotaro] Your bag looks heavy.
- [gasps]
[Momotaro] Are you okay, Kalbi-kun?
- [grunting]
- [Calvin] No worries, Momotaro-kun.
I heard everything in America is big.
Is that right, Kalbi-kun?
Uh, maybe just a little bigger.
What do you keep in such a big bag?
Oh, you want to see?
I just got the best book ever.
[groaning, grunting]
Whoa!
[laughing]
[Momotaro] Are you okay?
Do you need help, man?
Huh?
[gasps]
Look, someone left a turtle costume
in the garbage.
[Kijiyama] What? No way.
[Kijiyama, Momotaro laughing]
[Onari growls]
Hey, back off!
[laughing]
- Oh, man! What are you, an Oni?
- [laughing]
Halloween was weeks ago.
Is this turtle costume yours too?
[Calvin] Uh, that's not a turtle.
It's a Yokai costume.
A kappa, to be exact.
Uh...
A kappa, also known as kawatora or suiko.
It's an amphibious Yokai
from Japanese folklore...
The gaijin knows more about Yokai than us.
[chortles]
[Calvin] There are still many sightings
reported on Yokai forums.
They are normally depicted as
green humanoids with a turtle-like shell.
And they have a dish on their head
that holds water.
Pleased to meet you.
[quacks]
[screaming]
[gasps]
Was that a real kappa?
Oh, please be a real kappa.
[Onari panting]
Kappa! [Gasps] Do you realize
what trouble you got us into?
[stammers] I'm sorry, Onari.
I-I just wanted to help you.
[groans] This is not helping!
The other doll was a dead end,
and I still don't know anything more
about my Kushi.
[pants]
And the Demon Moon is... [groans]
[gasps] Are you all right, Onari?
I-I'm fine. I just... [sighs]
I-I didn't really get any sleep
last night.
[Calvin] Hi.
[yelps]
[stammers] My name is Calvin.
Are you a kappa and an Oni?
Oh... [gasps]
Who... Who are you calling an Oni?
A-Aren't you an Oni?
Oh. [Chuckles]
Uh, I'm not an Oni, but... I wish I was.
Excuse me, Mr. Kalbi.
I'm Kappa, and this is Onari.
Um, are we in the Oni village?
What? There's a village full of Oni?
[gasps]
I'd love to see that. [Sighs]
But nah, this is a human town.
Boring, right? Just a bunch of humans.
[chuckles]
Hu... Hu... Hu... what?
[chuckles] Humans.
No. [Chuckles, gasping]
No, no, no, no, no. [Gasping]
[stammers] This isn't an Oni village?
The D-Demon Moon's tomorrow.
- I have to... [panting] ...find out...
- Onari!
[heartbeat thumping]
- [Onari] My Kushi...
- Oh, no! What's wrong?
[Onari] My mother...
[Putaro grunts]
[groaning]
[breathes heavily]
This... This isn't enough.
[sighs]
Look at the moon.
One more day, and we'll be crushed.
[inhales sharply, grunting]
Why? We were the Mighty Storm Gods!
[grunts]
We were unstoppable!
[panting]
Why?
[panting]
Why did Na rid on abandon us?
[shouts]
[panting]
What?
[panting]
[tranquil music playing]
[clinking, chiming softly]
[majestic music playing]
[person singing lullaby in Japanese]
[singing continues in Japanese]
[gasping]
- Oh, no. The Oni are coming!
- [singing in Japanese continues]
Let's get out of here, Mother! [Panting]
[gasps]
[panting]
I-I don't have the thunder power.
[gasps] I can't save you!
- [roars]
- [screams]
[gasps]
[sighs]
[gasps] The Demon Moon!
What?
Huh?
Where am I?
- [muffled voice] Psst!
- [gasps]
[gasping]
- Psst!
- [shrieks]
[Kappa, whispers] Onari!
Huh?
- Kappa?
- [shushes]
We have to be quiet.
Mr. Kalbi said
his mother must not find me.
- Mother?
- [mother] Don't worry, Calvin.
She was just exhausted.
I'll check on her one more time.
[gasps]
[muffled shriek]
She's good. Nothing to worry about.
- Okay, I have to get back to work.
- [duck quacks]
Did you hear that?
Uh, what? No, I-I didn't hear anything.
[duck quacks]
Uh, Mom, maybe you should go
so you won't be late. [Yelps]
Is this from your dad?
Dad?
Oh! Yes, yeah. Um, i-it's a gift from Dad.
- Right. He... He sent me it the other day.
- [quacks]
Huh!
Well, the duck sounds pretty convincing.
I'm glad you two are talking more often.
- Oh! Yes. Yes, he calls all the time.
- [duck quacks]
And that is one of those new cool toys
with the latest duck-quack technology.
- Okay, I gotta go now.
- Great idea.
Last night's leftovers are in the fridge.
I'll be back after lunch, okay?
[Calvin] Have a wonderful day, Mom.
Phew! That was close.
If my mom knew she saw a real kappa,
she would a had a heart attack.
- Huh? [Grunts]
- Hyah!
- What do you want with us?
- Not your enemy!
You passed out last night,
so we took you to my house.
[quacks]
[melancholy music playing]
[melancholy music continues]
[birds chirping]
[music fades]
[gasps]
- Honey. Uh, did you find them?
- No, I haven't.
What is the matter?
Sensei, we haven't seen our son, Kappa,
all morning.
Doesn't he normally
walk to school with Onari?
- Am a ten!
- Yes, Father.
I mean, Sensei.
I need you to go find Onari and Kappa.
Right away.
What? Sensei, I came here
earlier than any of the other kids
- so I can stand with you to fight the Oni.
- Sensei, the trenches are ready.
What took so long?
Gather everyone and assign positions.
- Sensei, I have been training for this...
- Am a ten!
[sighs]
Today, I need you to lead
the other children to safety.
[Am a ten sighs]
Can I count on you for that?
Yes, Sensei.
Come with me. We have no time to waste.
[Calvin] I know all about you guys. Look.
[gasps] That looks just like my grandma.
I can't believe
I'm meeting a real life thunder god.
That's... [gasps]
That's just, like, my favorite god.
[gasps]
Do you really hit a drum to make thunder?
Uh...
Kappa, we should go.
Oh! You're right.
Our parents must be so worried about us.
Mr. Kalbi,
do you know the way to Mount Kamigami?
- [chuckles] That's not what I meant.
- No way. Mount Kamigami?
Of course you guys are from there!
It's a half hour walk from here.
I'll take you.
Just let me grab a few things.
- Oh, my gosh. This is so freaking cool.
- [groans]
- What's wrong, Onari?
- [sighs]
Kappa, the Demon Moon is today.
I can't go home
until I figure out my Kushi.
[sighs]
Without it...
[sighs]
I-I'm afraid I'll be useless
when the Oni come.
No.
You stood up to Nama and Hage.
You crossed the Modori Bridge. Twice!
[panting]
You're the bravest Kami
in the whole village.
[sobbing]
[exhales sharply]
- Thank you, Kappa.
- [groans]
- [sniffles]
- [chuckles]
Yeah, your parents will be worried.
And Na rid on must be freaking out.
[sighs]
Kappa, it's time to go home.
[Calvin] Okay, I'm ready.
It's still early enough
to catch the morning mist. Come on.
Morning mist. Let's go, Onari!
[playful music playing]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[grunting]
Um... what are you doing?
[exclaims]
[grunts]
Pardon me, but I'm in a hurry.
Hey! Onari, wake up!
You failed to discover your Kushi,
and that's embarrassing,
but you need to stop
being such a drama queen.
- Huh?
- [exclaims]
[grunting]
[gasps]
[grunting]
Please, calm down. She left this.
"Please don't worry.
I'll be back before sunrise."
[yells]
[groans] That little brat.
It's always about her.
Why did she have to do this today?
[scoffs]
Everyone's all, "Onari, Onari, Onari!"
Father, the Demon Moon comes tonight.
I will not let Oni destroy
another village.
[inhales, exhales deeply]
- [distant bellowing]
- Huh?
[yelps]
[panting]
[groans, panting]
- [trees creaking]
- [bellowing continues, louder]
[birds cawing]
[roaring]
- [tree thuds]
- [shudders]
[panting]
[shuddering, panting]
Father, give me your courage.
[Calvin] Ooh!
The fog is so spooky.
Supposedly,
Oni has been spotted deep in these woods.
- Ooh!
- [yelps]
[chuckles]
I almost forgot the most important thing.
Setsubun mame.
We'll need this in case we run into Oni.
All over Japan,
when the Spring Festival comes,
they throw these beans at the Oni
to make them run away.
What... [sniffs] ...These beans?
That can't be right.
[sniffs]
[gasps] Onari,
do you think this could help our village?
- Oh!
- [grunts]
Hey, look!
- This is where I saw the Oni.
- [gasping]
Naridon's lightning came down
and drove it away.
- Whoa!
- This is the thunder mark.
- Oh, my gosh.
- We're getting closer.
Evidence of Thunder Kami.
This is so freaking cool.
- The mighty Raijin fighting off the Oni.
- [shutter clicking]
And here's the proof.
I can feel the power of this spot.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Where's my macro lens and sampling kit?
- I knew I was forgetting something.
- [Onari] Morinoko.
[gasping]
What is this?
- Th-They look like they're...
- Dying.
[gasping, panting]
[panting continues]
Oh. Oh... [gasping] Huh?
[gasps]
[panting]
[gasps] Oh, no.
Why? [Gasping]
- [loud thud]
- [both gasp]
[bellowing roar]
[both] Oni!
- [screams]
- [both panting]
[suspenseful music playing]
[panting]
[screams, grunts]
[yelps] Onari!
[panting]
Come on!
[grunts]
- [breathing heavily]
- [steady whooshing]
It worked. [Sighs]
Kappa, the beans actually worked!
- [sputtering]
- We have to get these back to the village.
Let's go. Now!
[grunts, laughs]
[Kappa] What about Mr. Kalbi?
[Onari] Don't worry.
Kalbi has the beans too.
Sensei. [Breathing heavily]
The Oni, they...
they are already just beyond the bridge.
I saw the first trees fall.
So, it begins.
[faint chattering]
This... [scoffs]
This is the best we can do?
It won't be enough.
[sighs] I spent all my time hoping
for a new thunder god.
We could easily fight off the Oni
if the Mighty Storm Gods... [stammers]
[grunts, sighs]
When did he become such a bumbling goof?
[sighs] Mr. Na rid on
was always a mystery to me,
ever since he arrived
with baby Onari ten years ago.
Wait, Sensei, did...
did you say ten years ago?
He showed up here with Onari?
Yes, I remember that night clearly.
[thunder rumbling]
There was a terrible thunderstorm.
I thought the Oni had come for us.
[thunderclap]
How do we find the bridge
in this thick fog?
[gasps, panting]
Help!
Help!
Hello? Anybody?
Uncle Putaro?
[panting]
- [distant rumble]
- [gasps]
Sensei!
[grunting, panting]
Na rid on! [Echoes]
[panting]
[thunder rumbling]
[gasps]
[dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
[grunts]
Na rid on! [Chuckles]
[both laugh]
- Na rid on!
- [exclaims]
[Onari sighing]
I missed you.
[grunts]
- [quacks]
- [shushes]
This is a private moment.
P-Private. That's a "P."
I'm sorry.
I-I'm sorry I left without telling you.
- [sighs] You must have been so worried.
- [grunts]
- [grunts]
- Listen to me, Na rid on.
W-We were on the other side of the bridge,
and there are were all sorts
of strange things. [Pants]
- There were these humans, and... and...
- [grunts]
A-And there's this boy, and... and...
[panting]
[sighs]
The Morinoko...
[sighs] They're... [gasps]
Uh, uh, I-I don't even know
where to start.
The Oni, they're... they're horrible.
[sighs]
Oh! Th-The beans.
I know how to save the village.
It's the answer
we've all been looking for.
Come on!
- [Onari giggling]
- [shudders]
- [Kappa] Onari!
- [Onari giggles]
[Onari] We'll beat the Oni
once and for all!
- Let's see. One more angle.
- [shutter clicks]
There! I got the most incredible pictures.
Everyone on the Yokai forum will flip.
[chuckles]
Oh, what am I thinking? Hey, guys.
Let's take a picture of all of us.
Uh, hello?
Onari-san?
Kappa-san?
Sensei!
Sensei!
- Onari.
- Sensei!
Oh, my little dumpling. You're safe.
[panting]
[panting]
- Kappa and I have been across the bridge...
- You what?
[stammers] It's okay. I-I can explain.
I brought back these beans!
[gasping]
Onari, where did you get those beans?
Setsubun mame?
These beans are used by the Oni!
What? No.
W-We got these from this kid, Kalbi.
He's just a human boy.
[gasping]
[both] A human?
Onari-san?
Kappa-san?
Where have you gone?
[rumbling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[sighs]
Onari-san!
Onari-san!
[gasps]
[low rumbling]
Oh. Hello.
[panting]
Whoa!
[panting]
[driver] Hey,
you're gonna get yourself killed, kid!
[Calvin exhales sharply]
[Calvin] Oh. Sorry. Sorry.
Uh... [chuckles]
Have you seen a girl with, uh, uh, horns
and a tiger-skin dress?
[driver] Yeah, I saw her earlier.
Well, you can't play here anymore.
We're clear-cutting everything.
Soon there'll be a giant mall here.
Onari, the Oni are also called "humans."
[gasps] What?
They are creatures
with their own powerful Kushi.
They can ride an iron horse
as large as a house,
fly in a giant eagle made of metal...
- [gasps]
- ...and even burn
an entire mountain overnight.
No.
[groans]
You disappeared ten years ago
on the night of our mightiest storm.
Then you show up
at this village with a baby?
Something doesn't line up.
[gasps]
We finally meet again,
and I find out you've been spending time
in the Oni forest.
And she... she has a doll from the humans!
- [villagers gasping, murmuring]
- [villager 1] What?
[gasping]
- Brother...
- Mr. Putaro.
...what do you know of the Oni?
Uncle, stop!
[grunting]
[exclaims]
- Let go!
- [grunting]
[grunting]
- [grunts]
- What are you hiding from us?
[Onari screams]
[grunts]
[groans]
- [gasps]
- Onari!
- [gasps]
- [Onari grunts]
- [grunting]
- Ouch.
I-I-I'm fine. [Gasps]
Onari, your... your horns.
[villagers gasping]
What? [Breathing shakily]
What? [Gasping]
[stammers] My horns?
- [villager 2] What is happening?
- [villagers gasping]
- [gasps]
- [shudders]
- [gasping]
- [grunts]
- [villager 3] What's going on?
- [growls]
- Her horns came off.
- What's happening?
[gasping, screaming]
[Principal] That's enough.
[gasping]
[Principal] The time has come, Na rid on.
Na rid on, is your heart ready for this?
[villagers whisper faintly]
[gasps]
[thunder rumbling]
[loud thud]
[thunderclap]
[thunderclap]
[whooping, laughing]
The Oni will be wiped away from here
before sunrise.
No one gets away
from the Mighty Storm Gods.
[dramatic music playing]
- What a storm. I can't see a thing.
- [baby crying]
Be careful, honey.
Oh, baby, it's okay.
[baby crying]
It's okay. It's okay.
[singing lullaby in Japanese]
- [horn blares]
- [speaks indistinctly]
[mother screams]
- [tires screech]
- [vehicle crashes]
[baby cries]
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
[thunder rumbling]
[exclaims]
[baby crying]
[grunts, panting]
[gasping, grunting]
- Please.
- [baby crying]
Please.
[grunts]
- [grunting]
- [crying continues]
[crying slows, fussing]
[grunts]
- [thunderclap]
- [baby crying]
[Na rid on wailing]
[gasps] I'm...
[stammers, sighs]
...an...
an Oni?
[Principal] Is your heart ready
to share the truth with her?
Na rid on,
the Demon Moon will rise tomorrow.
Beware the light of the moon,
lest you fall into the shadow of fear.
[flat electrical buzzing]
[distorted squawking]
[breathes shakily]
[indistinct voice echoing]
Is this the Oni village?
- [musical tone beeping]
- [gasps]
[gasps]
[chanting in Japanese]
[entrance tone beeping]
[screams]
[gasping]
[train horn blows]
- [screams]
- [train passes]
[breathes shakily]
[panting]
[gasps, screams]
- [groaning]
- [screams]
[panting]
If only I had my Kushi. [Gasps]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [Gasping]
- [groaning]
- [gasps]
[groans, crying] Onari, I-I'm so sorry.
- [crying]
- Kappa? What are you doing here?
I-I didn't mean to hide my Kushi power
from you.
Kappa, we're standing
smack in the middle of the Oni village.
I'm sorry. [Sighs] I just couldn't bear
to leave things the way they were.
Remember the three P's?
Kappa, don't you understand?
It's dangerous here.
[groans] Just go home.
Onari, can't you come home with us?
- [quacks]
- [sighs]
The Demon Moon is tomorrow.
[sighs]
Exactly. That's why I'm here.
I've got to figure out my Kushi
before it's too late.
- [distant gurgle]
- [both gasp]
- [baby fussing]
- Huh?
- [Kappa] Are they... the Oni?
- It's okay.
I'm not sure. They aren't like
the one I saw in the Oni forest.
But we should still be careful.
[baby crying]
[parent] I know. [Shushes]
It's okay. It's okay.
[baby babbling]
[parent] What's so funny?
What are you doing, Kappa?
We don't know if they're...
[gasps]
My doll!
Uncle Putaro was right!
Onari, what's happening?
This doll is the only thing I have
from my mother.
I don't know what it means, but the answer
to her Kushi may be right there.
[baby giggling]
What should we do?
Let's follow it. But be careful.
That thing could tear us apart.
[giggling continues]
[Onari] Okay, Kappa. On three.
- One, two, three!
- [groaning shakily]
We're following her into this Oni cave?
- What?
- Huh?
[both gasp]
Hey, he looks familiar.
Boy, are we glad to see you.
We could really use a... help?
[both scream]
[gasping]
This place gives me the heebie-jeebies.
At least the Oni haven't spotted us yet.
- [shouting, speaking Japanese]
- [shutters clicking]
[gasping]
Let's hide in there.
[camera shutter clicks]
[both yelp]
There they are.
- [groaning, yelps]
- Come on! Hurry!
[Kappa panting] She's going too fast!
We'll never catch up.
Let's cut through here.
[panting]
[grunts]
- [recorded voice speaking Japanese]
- [up-tempo music playing]
- [gasps]
- Come on!
[cheering, shouting]
[screams] We got a duck!
- [grunts]
- [screams, groans]
[duck quacks]
Whoa-oh!
- [gasps]
- [squeaks]
- No!
- [squeaks]
What the duck?
- [up-tempo music playing]
- [player 1] Whoa!
[player 2 gasps] Oh, my gosh.
[crowd whooping, cheering]
Seriously?
- [music stops]
- [both panting]
Ah! That was them!
[bicycle horn honks]
You're kidding, right?
- [quacks]
- [grunting]
[both panting]
Look! Look, we-we're doing it!
How do we stop this thing?
Onari!
What? It's not the same.
[sighs] It's not the same doll.
[sighs]
I could have sworn it was the same doll.
[sighs]
[Kappa] Oh. You look like Tako-Neko.
My name is Kappa. Pleased to meet you.
[cat yowls]
[groans] Oh, come on.
- [Momotaro] Your bag looks heavy.
- [gasps]
[Momotaro] Are you okay, Kalbi-kun?
- [grunting]
- [Calvin] No worries, Momotaro-kun.
I heard everything in America is big.
Is that right, Kalbi-kun?
Uh, maybe just a little bigger.
What do you keep in such a big bag?
Oh, you want to see?
I just got the best book ever.
[groaning, grunting]
Whoa!
[laughing]
[Momotaro] Are you okay?
Do you need help, man?
Huh?
[gasps]
Look, someone left a turtle costume
in the garbage.
[Kijiyama] What? No way.
[Kijiyama, Momotaro laughing]
[Onari growls]
Hey, back off!
[laughing]
- Oh, man! What are you, an Oni?
- [laughing]
Halloween was weeks ago.
Is this turtle costume yours too?
[Calvin] Uh, that's not a turtle.
It's a Yokai costume.
A kappa, to be exact.
Uh...
A kappa, also known as kawatora or suiko.
It's an amphibious Yokai
from Japanese folklore...
The gaijin knows more about Yokai than us.
[chortles]
[Calvin] There are still many sightings
reported on Yokai forums.
They are normally depicted as
green humanoids with a turtle-like shell.
And they have a dish on their head
that holds water.
Pleased to meet you.
[quacks]
[screaming]
[gasps]
Was that a real kappa?
Oh, please be a real kappa.
[Onari panting]
Kappa! [Gasps] Do you realize
what trouble you got us into?
[stammers] I'm sorry, Onari.
I-I just wanted to help you.
[groans] This is not helping!
The other doll was a dead end,
and I still don't know anything more
about my Kushi.
[pants]
And the Demon Moon is... [groans]
[gasps] Are you all right, Onari?
I-I'm fine. I just... [sighs]
I-I didn't really get any sleep
last night.
[Calvin] Hi.
[yelps]
[stammers] My name is Calvin.
Are you a kappa and an Oni?
Oh... [gasps]
Who... Who are you calling an Oni?
A-Aren't you an Oni?
Oh. [Chuckles]
Uh, I'm not an Oni, but... I wish I was.
Excuse me, Mr. Kalbi.
I'm Kappa, and this is Onari.
Um, are we in the Oni village?
What? There's a village full of Oni?
[gasps]
I'd love to see that. [Sighs]
But nah, this is a human town.
Boring, right? Just a bunch of humans.
[chuckles]
Hu... Hu... Hu... what?
[chuckles] Humans.
No. [Chuckles, gasping]
No, no, no, no, no. [Gasping]
[stammers] This isn't an Oni village?
The D-Demon Moon's tomorrow.
- I have to... [panting] ...find out...
- Onari!
[heartbeat thumping]
- [Onari] My Kushi...
- Oh, no! What's wrong?
[Onari] My mother...
[Putaro grunts]
[groaning]
[breathes heavily]
This... This isn't enough.
[sighs]
Look at the moon.
One more day, and we'll be crushed.
[inhales sharply, grunting]
Why? We were the Mighty Storm Gods!
[grunts]
We were unstoppable!
[panting]
Why?
[panting]
Why did Na rid on abandon us?
[shouts]
[panting]
What?
[panting]
[tranquil music playing]
[clinking, chiming softly]
[majestic music playing]
[person singing lullaby in Japanese]
[singing continues in Japanese]
[gasping]
- Oh, no. The Oni are coming!
- [singing in Japanese continues]
Let's get out of here, Mother! [Panting]
[gasps]
[panting]
I-I don't have the thunder power.
[gasps] I can't save you!
- [roars]
- [screams]
[gasps]
[sighs]
[gasps] The Demon Moon!
What?
Huh?
Where am I?
- [muffled voice] Psst!
- [gasps]
[gasping]
- Psst!
- [shrieks]
[Kappa, whispers] Onari!
Huh?
- Kappa?
- [shushes]
We have to be quiet.
Mr. Kalbi said
his mother must not find me.
- Mother?
- [mother] Don't worry, Calvin.
She was just exhausted.
I'll check on her one more time.
[gasps]
[muffled shriek]
She's good. Nothing to worry about.
- Okay, I have to get back to work.
- [duck quacks]
Did you hear that?
Uh, what? No, I-I didn't hear anything.
[duck quacks]
Uh, Mom, maybe you should go
so you won't be late. [Yelps]
Is this from your dad?
Dad?
Oh! Yes, yeah. Um, i-it's a gift from Dad.
- Right. He... He sent me it the other day.
- [quacks]
Huh!
Well, the duck sounds pretty convincing.
I'm glad you two are talking more often.
- Oh! Yes. Yes, he calls all the time.
- [duck quacks]
And that is one of those new cool toys
with the latest duck-quack technology.
- Okay, I gotta go now.
- Great idea.
Last night's leftovers are in the fridge.
I'll be back after lunch, okay?
[Calvin] Have a wonderful day, Mom.
Phew! That was close.
If my mom knew she saw a real kappa,
she would a had a heart attack.
- Huh? [Grunts]
- Hyah!
- What do you want with us?
- Not your enemy!
You passed out last night,
so we took you to my house.
[quacks]
[melancholy music playing]
[melancholy music continues]
[birds chirping]
[music fades]
[gasps]
- Honey. Uh, did you find them?
- No, I haven't.
What is the matter?
Sensei, we haven't seen our son, Kappa,
all morning.
Doesn't he normally
walk to school with Onari?
- Am a ten!
- Yes, Father.
I mean, Sensei.
I need you to go find Onari and Kappa.
Right away.
What? Sensei, I came here
earlier than any of the other kids
- so I can stand with you to fight the Oni.
- Sensei, the trenches are ready.
What took so long?
Gather everyone and assign positions.
- Sensei, I have been training for this...
- Am a ten!
[sighs]
Today, I need you to lead
the other children to safety.
[Am a ten sighs]
Can I count on you for that?
Yes, Sensei.
Come with me. We have no time to waste.
[Calvin] I know all about you guys. Look.
[gasps] That looks just like my grandma.
I can't believe
I'm meeting a real life thunder god.
That's... [gasps]
That's just, like, my favorite god.
[gasps]
Do you really hit a drum to make thunder?
Uh...
Kappa, we should go.
Oh! You're right.
Our parents must be so worried about us.
Mr. Kalbi,
do you know the way to Mount Kamigami?
- [chuckles] That's not what I meant.
- No way. Mount Kamigami?
Of course you guys are from there!
It's a half hour walk from here.
I'll take you.
Just let me grab a few things.
- Oh, my gosh. This is so freaking cool.
- [groans]
- What's wrong, Onari?
- [sighs]
Kappa, the Demon Moon is today.
I can't go home
until I figure out my Kushi.
[sighs]
Without it...
[sighs]
I-I'm afraid I'll be useless
when the Oni come.
No.
You stood up to Nama and Hage.
You crossed the Modori Bridge. Twice!
[panting]
You're the bravest Kami
in the whole village.
[sobbing]
[exhales sharply]
- Thank you, Kappa.
- [groans]
- [sniffles]
- [chuckles]
Yeah, your parents will be worried.
And Na rid on must be freaking out.
[sighs]
Kappa, it's time to go home.
[Calvin] Okay, I'm ready.
It's still early enough
to catch the morning mist. Come on.
Morning mist. Let's go, Onari!
[playful music playing]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[grunting]
Um... what are you doing?
[exclaims]
[grunts]
Pardon me, but I'm in a hurry.
Hey! Onari, wake up!
You failed to discover your Kushi,
and that's embarrassing,
but you need to stop
being such a drama queen.
- Huh?
- [exclaims]
[grunting]
[gasps]
[grunting]
Please, calm down. She left this.
"Please don't worry.
I'll be back before sunrise."
[yells]
[groans] That little brat.
It's always about her.
Why did she have to do this today?
[scoffs]
Everyone's all, "Onari, Onari, Onari!"
Father, the Demon Moon comes tonight.
I will not let Oni destroy
another village.
[inhales, exhales deeply]
- [distant bellowing]
- Huh?
[yelps]
[panting]
[groans, panting]
- [trees creaking]
- [bellowing continues, louder]
[birds cawing]
[roaring]
- [tree thuds]
- [shudders]
[panting]
[shuddering, panting]
Father, give me your courage.
[Calvin] Ooh!
The fog is so spooky.
Supposedly,
Oni has been spotted deep in these woods.
- Ooh!
- [yelps]
[chuckles]
I almost forgot the most important thing.
Setsubun mame.
We'll need this in case we run into Oni.
All over Japan,
when the Spring Festival comes,
they throw these beans at the Oni
to make them run away.
What... [sniffs] ...These beans?
That can't be right.
[sniffs]
[gasps] Onari,
do you think this could help our village?
- Oh!
- [grunts]
Hey, look!
- This is where I saw the Oni.
- [gasping]
Naridon's lightning came down
and drove it away.
- Whoa!
- This is the thunder mark.
- Oh, my gosh.
- We're getting closer.
Evidence of Thunder Kami.
This is so freaking cool.
- The mighty Raijin fighting off the Oni.
- [shutter clicking]
And here's the proof.
I can feel the power of this spot.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Where's my macro lens and sampling kit?
- I knew I was forgetting something.
- [Onari] Morinoko.
[gasping]
What is this?
- Th-They look like they're...
- Dying.
[gasping, panting]
[panting continues]
Oh. Oh... [gasping] Huh?
[gasps]
[panting]
[gasps] Oh, no.
Why? [Gasping]
- [loud thud]
- [both gasp]
[bellowing roar]
[both] Oni!
- [screams]
- [both panting]
[suspenseful music playing]
[panting]
[screams, grunts]
[yelps] Onari!
[panting]
Come on!
[grunts]
- [breathing heavily]
- [steady whooshing]
It worked. [Sighs]
Kappa, the beans actually worked!
- [sputtering]
- We have to get these back to the village.
Let's go. Now!
[grunts, laughs]
[Kappa] What about Mr. Kalbi?
[Onari] Don't worry.
Kalbi has the beans too.
Sensei. [Breathing heavily]
The Oni, they...
they are already just beyond the bridge.
I saw the first trees fall.
So, it begins.
[faint chattering]
This... [scoffs]
This is the best we can do?
It won't be enough.
[sighs] I spent all my time hoping
for a new thunder god.
We could easily fight off the Oni
if the Mighty Storm Gods... [stammers]
[grunts, sighs]
When did he become such a bumbling goof?
[sighs] Mr. Na rid on
was always a mystery to me,
ever since he arrived
with baby Onari ten years ago.
Wait, Sensei, did...
did you say ten years ago?
He showed up here with Onari?
Yes, I remember that night clearly.
[thunder rumbling]
There was a terrible thunderstorm.
I thought the Oni had come for us.
[thunderclap]
How do we find the bridge
in this thick fog?
[gasps, panting]
Help!
Help!
Hello? Anybody?
Uncle Putaro?
[panting]
- [distant rumble]
- [gasps]
Sensei!
[grunting, panting]
Na rid on! [Echoes]
[panting]
[thunder rumbling]
[gasps]
[dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
[grunts]
Na rid on! [Chuckles]
[both laugh]
- Na rid on!
- [exclaims]
[Onari sighing]
I missed you.
[grunts]
- [quacks]
- [shushes]
This is a private moment.
P-Private. That's a "P."
I'm sorry.
I-I'm sorry I left without telling you.
- [sighs] You must have been so worried.
- [grunts]
- [grunts]
- Listen to me, Na rid on.
W-We were on the other side of the bridge,
and there are were all sorts
of strange things. [Pants]
- There were these humans, and... and...
- [grunts]
A-And there's this boy, and... and...
[panting]
[sighs]
The Morinoko...
[sighs] They're... [gasps]
Uh, uh, I-I don't even know
where to start.
The Oni, they're... they're horrible.
[sighs]
Oh! Th-The beans.
I know how to save the village.
It's the answer
we've all been looking for.
Come on!
- [Onari giggling]
- [shudders]
- [Kappa] Onari!
- [Onari giggles]
[Onari] We'll beat the Oni
once and for all!
- Let's see. One more angle.
- [shutter clicks]
There! I got the most incredible pictures.
Everyone on the Yokai forum will flip.
[chuckles]
Oh, what am I thinking? Hey, guys.
Let's take a picture of all of us.
Uh, hello?
Onari-san?
Kappa-san?
Sensei!
Sensei!
- Onari.
- Sensei!
Oh, my little dumpling. You're safe.
[panting]
[panting]
- Kappa and I have been across the bridge...
- You what?
[stammers] It's okay. I-I can explain.
I brought back these beans!
[gasping]
Onari, where did you get those beans?
Setsubun mame?
These beans are used by the Oni!
What? No.
W-We got these from this kid, Kalbi.
He's just a human boy.
[gasping]
[both] A human?
Onari-san?
Kappa-san?
Where have you gone?
[rumbling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[sighs]
Onari-san!
Onari-san!
[gasps]
[low rumbling]
Oh. Hello.
[panting]
Whoa!
[panting]
[driver] Hey,
you're gonna get yourself killed, kid!
[Calvin exhales sharply]
[Calvin] Oh. Sorry. Sorry.
Uh... [chuckles]
Have you seen a girl with, uh, uh, horns
and a tiger-skin dress?
[driver] Yeah, I saw her earlier.
Well, you can't play here anymore.
We're clear-cutting everything.
Soon there'll be a giant mall here.
Onari, the Oni are also called "humans."
[gasps] What?
They are creatures
with their own powerful Kushi.
They can ride an iron horse
as large as a house,
fly in a giant eagle made of metal...
- [gasps]
- ...and even burn
an entire mountain overnight.
No.
[groans]
You disappeared ten years ago
on the night of our mightiest storm.
Then you show up
at this village with a baby?
Something doesn't line up.
[gasps]
We finally meet again,
and I find out you've been spending time
in the Oni forest.
And she... she has a doll from the humans!
- [villagers gasping, murmuring]
- [villager 1] What?
[gasping]
- Brother...
- Mr. Putaro.
...what do you know of the Oni?
Uncle, stop!
[grunting]
[exclaims]
- Let go!
- [grunting]
[grunting]
- [grunts]
- What are you hiding from us?
[Onari screams]
[grunts]
[groans]
- [gasps]
- Onari!
- [gasps]
- [Onari grunts]
- [grunting]
- Ouch.
I-I-I'm fine. [Gasps]
Onari, your... your horns.
[villagers gasping]
What? [Breathing shakily]
What? [Gasping]
[stammers] My horns?
- [villager 2] What is happening?
- [villagers gasping]
- [gasps]
- [shudders]
- [gasping]
- [grunts]
- [villager 3] What's going on?
- [growls]
- Her horns came off.
- What's happening?
[gasping, screaming]
[Principal] That's enough.
[gasping]
[Principal] The time has come, Na rid on.
Na rid on, is your heart ready for this?
[villagers whisper faintly]
[gasps]
[thunder rumbling]
[loud thud]
[thunderclap]
[thunderclap]
[whooping, laughing]
The Oni will be wiped away from here
before sunrise.
No one gets away
from the Mighty Storm Gods.
[dramatic music playing]
- What a storm. I can't see a thing.
- [baby crying]
Be careful, honey.
Oh, baby, it's okay.
[baby crying]
It's okay. It's okay.
[singing lullaby in Japanese]
- [horn blares]
- [speaks indistinctly]
[mother screams]
- [tires screech]
- [vehicle crashes]
[baby cries]
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
[thunder rumbling]
[exclaims]
[baby crying]
[grunts, panting]
[gasping, grunting]
- Please.
- [baby crying]
Please.
[grunts]
- [grunting]
- [crying continues]
[crying slows, fussing]
[grunts]
- [thunderclap]
- [baby crying]
[Na rid on wailing]
[gasps] I'm...
[stammers, sighs]
...an...
an Oni?
