To a Kinder World

-[heavy rainfall]
-[woman gasping frantically]
[whimpering]
[screams]
[wheezing]
-[screams]
-[thud]
[fire crackling]
[sobbing]
You animals
stole my little Aira from me!
-My darling Aira!
-[Okarun gasps]
[sobbing]
[Momo grunts]
Give her back,
you filthy pigs!
[electronic music playing]
[Okarun] This sucks.
Aira's weighing me down here.
What's the plan, Momo?
The plan's to keep running! [grunts]
[panting]
[Okarun] It's one big obstacle course.
I can't go fast.
That's okay! Keep runnin' and don't stop.
-[Acrobatic Silky] You can't get away!
-[Momo yelps]
[Acrobatic Silky] You horrible girl!
-[Momo yelps]
-[Okarun] Momo!
[groans]
Give her to me, you shrimp-willy boy!
-[Okarun] That was cold.
-[Acrobatic Silky laughs]
[cackling]
-[Okarun grunts]
-[Acrobatic Silky laughs]
-[panting]
-[Acrobatic Silky] Whoo!
-Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
-[Okarun grunts]
[Acrobatic Silky] It's tricky in here,
isn't it?
[Okarun grunts]
[Acrobatic Silky] Do you honestly think
you can outrun my acrobatic moves?
-[Okarun gasps]
-[Acrobatic Silky] You can't!
[Okarun groans]
[Acrobatic Silky] It's okay, Aira.
If you really don't want
to call me "Mommy,"
I don't mind.
As long as we can be together.
If I devour you,
you'll be part of my flesh and blood.
That way, I can be with you forever.
Now, then, my dear.
[hisses]
I will eat you up!
[gasps]
-[creaking]
-What is going on here?
Why can't I move any further?
[Momo] Didn't you say your acrobatics grab
onto anything and everything?
Thanks to
that super ratty hair you're rockin',
you're all tangled up
in everything you grabbed onto.
[Okarun coughing]
-[groans]
-Way to go!
Dude, you ran away so good!
[Acrobatic Silky] Sneaky pigs.
If you think I can't get out
of this damn trap, think again.
-Huh?
-[glass smashing]
That's not good! She's breaking the beams
to try to get free!
Like hell!
[Acrobatic Silky groaning]
Let go of my beautiful legs,
you trashy little girl!
Hurry! Go all out!
You've still got a full charge.
-So go all out and deck her!
-[Acrobatic Silky snarling]
-I'll try, but I've never fought before.
-Huh?
[Okarun] With the aliens, I was so freaked
out, I just started chomping away at them.
And with the bound spirit,
I was running as fast as I could!
I don't know
how to throw a punch or anything!
Why didn't you tell me that before?
Just give her a good kick!
[Okarun] How do you mean?
Like a soccer ball?
[Momo] It don't matter what kind of ball!
Just kick her!
-[Okarun gasps]
-[Momo grunts]
-[Okarun yelps]
-[crashing]
[groans]
I'm losin' my grip on her. Do something!
[Acrobatic Silky] Damn punks!
[screams] I'm going to kill you!
[Momo] Kick her ass, Okarun!
[crash]
[Momo] Whoa. Wicked!
You did it!
That's what I call goin' all out!
Ow! I feel like I'm gonna explode!
[Turbo Granny scoffs]
If that's the best you can do
to her with my power,
it's damn disappointing.
[groans]
Give me a break.
-Oh, suck it up, ya wuss.
-[Momo] Now what do we do with her?
Should I get Grandma to exorcise her?
Ah, leave that nobody alone.
She just got creamed by my power.
She ain't gonna be goin' nowhere
for a while.
Mind if I check the girl?
Ya know, for the golden ball.
[Momo] No, go ahead.
Do it before she wakes up.
You got any scissors,
or a knife, or something sharp?
My hands are startin' to go numb here.
[Okarun groans] No.
I don't have anything like that.
I should whup that jerk's ass
for tying me up like this.
Why was that Acro-Silky thing
after her, anyway?
[Turbo Granny] Hey, Momo.
-[Okarun groans]
-Did you find the ball?
-[Turbo Granny] Hell, yeah!
-[Momo] Sweet!
Congratulations, Okarun!
-You got one of your nuts back.
-You are so humiliating!
-[Turbo Granny] We might have a problem.
-[both gasp]
What? What's wrong?
This here girlie's dead.

EPISODE 7
TO A KINDER WORLD
Nothing.
If a plain ol' human gets eaten
by a yōkai, they always die.
It's nothin' to get in a tizzy about.
Y'all were spared
'cause one of you's got psychic power
and the other's got my power.
Count yourselves lucky.
-Okarun, do you know CPR?
-Uh, I'm not sure I'm good at it.
It's okay. I'm gonna massage her heart.
I can use my ghost hands
to grab it and get it pumpin' again.
[scoffs]
-Massaging it'll do nothin'.
-[Momo] One! Two!
-Three! Four!
-The heart's just a wad of muscle.
-Y'all are wasting your time on her.
-[Momo] Shut up!
If you ain't gonna help, take a hike.
-[Turbo Granny] Touchy!
-Go! Breathe!
[grunts] Okay!
[inhales and blows]
Granny, get Muko's phone.
Call for an ambulance.
Don't much see the point.
[grumbles]
[Okarun inhales]
[Momo] Again.
One, two, three, four, five! Go!
[Okarun blows]
[Momo] One, two, three, four, five!
[Okarun blows]
[Acrobatic Silky moaning] Aira.
My little Aira.
Back off! We don't got time for you!
Keep going, Miss Ayase.
I'll draw her away and buy some time.
[Acrobatic Silky] You'll never
bring Aira back to life like that.
But I know a better way.
-Give my aura to her.
-[creaking]
Like a motor,
life can't run without a battery.
And an aura is like
a battery for living things.
Hers is fading fast,
but you can replenish it with mine.
[Momo] I don't believe
a damn thing you say.
You ate her once.
How do I know you won't eat her again?
[screeches]
[retches]
[groans]
Now I can't eat anyone.
But if you still don't trust me,
then you can smash my head in
with this steel beam.
[Momo gasps]
[Turbo Granny] Everything
she just told you is the truth.
The girl's a goner
unless you recharge her aura.
[earrings tinkle]
[shudders]
I still don't believe you!
So if you make any funny moves, any,
we're gonna crush your head like a melon.
Go on. Fire up those powers.
Don't take your eyes off her.
If what you say is true
and you can recharge this chick's aura,
let's give it a shot.
How's it work? Tell me what to do.
[Acrobatic Silky]
Using your psychic power,
you'll have to create a link
between my aura and hers.
It's the same idea as a jumper cable.
Okarun, stay sharp, you hear?
[Okarun] I guess.
Here goes!
[high-pitched ringing]
[power whooshes]
[power ringing]
[silence]
[alarm bleeps]
[shower running]
[alarm continues]
10,000 YEN
[man] Let's do some karaoke.
-[woman 1] What? I don't wanna.
-[man] Come on, please?
[woman 1] You know
I can't sing worth a damn.
-[woman 2] What? No!
-[woman 3] Yeah, I've heard her.
I've heard her and she's amazing.
[man] Oh!
[footsteps on metal]
[gasps]
-[turns key]
-[whimpers]
-[gasps]
-[child giggles]
[laughing]
Uh…
[laughs]
-Are you hungry?
-Uh, yeah! [giggles]
[mother] Mmm! [laughs]
[emotional piano music playing]
[music fades]
[screams]
[man] You whore!
-[child crying]
-[whimpering]
[mother gasping]
[man] Bitch! [grunts]
-[gasps]
-[child continues screaming]
[man scoffs] See what you've done? Happy?
-[gasps]
-[screaming]
[mother panting]
[screeches]
[grunts]
[groans]
[child sobbing]
[screams] Mommy!
[silence]
[gasping frantically]
[whimpering]
[screams]
[wheezing]
-[screams]
-[thud]
[emotional music playing]
[gasps]
[groans]
[music fades]
[romantic orchestral music playing]
[music fades]
[child] Thanks for being
the bestest mommy ever!
[crunch]
[silence]
[dripping]
[Acrobatic Silky] I can't remember what.
But I think I lost something dear to me.
[child] Mommy?
[emotional music playing]
Sorry.
-You're not her.
-[man] Aira.
[running footsteps fading]
I told you
not to go running off like that.
-But I thought that was Mommy over there.
-[sighs]
No, honey. Mommy's not here.
[Aira] Then where did she go, Daddy?
[father] We talked about this already.
Mommy's gone someplace far away.
[Aira] Will she be coming back?
[father] No, she…
she won't be back for while.
It's how it is, and you have to be strong.
You gotta learn how to be okay
without her here.
That way, when you see her again,
she'll be proud of how much you've grown.
[Aira] Okay. I'll grow up to be
someone she's super proud of!
[Acrobatic Silky] My child…
Where has my child gone?
Aira.
Yes. I remember now.
I was Aira's mother.
[buzz of voices]
[Acrobatic Silky] I'm supposed
to protect her.
And I will. No one will ever hurt her.
No one!
[Momo gasps]
[Okarun grunts]
-What's wrong?
-[Momo gasps]
[Okarun] Yo, Momo, you okay?
You went and did it. You hurt her.
Now I'll hurt you.
-[Momo] No! Wait!
-[Okarun gasps]
Leave her alone. [sobs]
I'm good.
[coughing]
[Acrobatic Silky] I'm so sorry, Aira.
I swore I'd protect you.
But in the end, all I did was hurt you.
I couldn't control of my emotions,
and my rage and sorrow
turned me into a monster.
I must end this now.
[soft rustling]
Hey, what's goin' on with her?
Why's she falling apart like that?
Her aura. It's like a battery.
-When it dies, she dies.
-[gasps]
[Turbo Granny] And with
all the regrets she's dyin' with,
she won't be movin' on to the afterlife.
[Momo] Then, where's she gonna go?
[Turbo Granny] Only place she can.
The void. Nothingness.
She'll be erased.
It'll be like she never even existed.
No one's gonna remember her anymore.
Not the living or the dead.
[soft rustling]
A life like hers
probably didn't mean much.
If her existence disappears for good,
it won't be nothin' to cry over.
[Momo] That's way too harsh.
It shouldn't be like that!
There's gotta be some other way
for her to reach the afterlife.
-[sobs] There's gotta be.
-[Turbo Granny] Well, it's up to her.
Findin' peace depends on
what's in her heart.
Nothin' anyone else can do about it.
[emotional music playing]
[Acrobatic Silky] I wish I could have
bought more pretty dresses for you.
I wish I spent more time with you.
I should have played with you
much more than I did.
I should have been a better mom.
If you were someone else's daughter,
you would have been so much happier.
With me, you were miserable. [sobs]
I am so sorry.
[music becomes discordant]
[soft thud]
[music fades]
[silence]
[wind sighing softly]
[Aira] Mommy.
I love you.
I was happy.
The happiest in the universe.
Please, take away their pain.
Grant them peace.
Guide them both to a kinder world.
I won't forget. I swear.
[lively music playing]
[song in Japanese playing]
Any resemblance to actual persons
or organizations in this work of fiction
(Ken Takakura included) is coincidental.
-[Seiko] Hey. You're back.
-[Momo] Yeah. And we found his balls.
-Well, one of 'em.
-[Seiko] Bummer.
-[Momo] Grandma, I'm starving.
-[Seiko] I can make somen.
[Momo] Somen? Hell, yeah!
Next time,
"I've Got This Funny Feeling."
[Seiko] Damn. There's no sauce.
I gotta hit the store.
