Here's a preview for a series of stories based of the Gegege No Kitaro universe created by Shigeru Mizuki, Gegege No Kitaro: Birth of The Hunter that served as a prequel to The Yokai Hunter. Enjoy !
(In the evening, in Tokyo, in a hideout run by yakuza)
Section chief (arriving at the hideout): So, is there a problem?
Yakuza (1): We have finished transporting the cargo, as warned.
Yakuza (2): But we also found this little black girl spying on us in the distance.
Little girl: Let go of me!
section chief (seeing the little girl): A foreigner ...
Yakuza (3): And checking her cell phone, her address is in 75, Debouin Street.
Section Chief: Put her on a chair and bring a camera! I hope they get a good sum of money if they care about their life like this girl's.
Yakuza (4): Right away.
Yakuza (5, arriving with a colleague who was pierced by metal needles): Boss, guys!
Yakuza (2): But who did this to her?
Yakuza (5): I don't know. It happened so quickly and she ended up like this.
Yakuza (1, seeing the needles): Hey, look at this!
(the metal needles became pieces of hair that came loose from the Yakuza's body)
Head of Section: What ... What is it that just happened?
Little girl (seeing what just happened): No ...
Yakuza (6, injured): Do you know something about what attacked me, child ?!
Little girl: In my school, a lot of children talk about it. it seems that there is a boy who wanders in the city, night and day. He appears when someone is in danger and is said to have supernatural powers including using his hair as a weapon. (the yakuza looked at each other questioningly) We don't really know what he looks like but those who would have potentially seen him did this. (She showed a drawing of a small person with one eye visible but only the upper part of the body is well drawn while the lower part is completely scribbled.)
Head of Section: Are you kidding us? (the yakuza started to laugh) Are you suggesting that what attacked my colleague was some kind of vigilante or nocturne monster ?! Pfff, what a fertile imagination ...
Little girl: But ...
(The Yakuza started to laugh but suddenly some kind of projectile hit one of them and he collapsed to the ground. The projectile was made up of hair)
Section chief (taking out his weapon like his colleagues): Show yourself ! Whoever or Whatever you are ! (a silhouette passed from the shadows) Show yourself or we kill the little girl!
(Only, in no time, the figure grabbed and cut in half one of the Yakuza with what appears to be an enlarged hair held like a sword. In front of this, the chief pointed the gun at the little girl and ...)
? (appearing between the chief and the girl, shielding the latter from the bullet): Nurikabe!
Yakuza (5, seeing the gigantic block of living stone in front of him): But what is this thing ?!
(But barely, he wonders, the figure threw a hair at him in the form of a spear which pierced him and in confusion, while the chief and his colleagues tried to attack the block of stone, the sihouette appeared in front of them and pulled from his head his hair which turns into metal needles which pierced the chief and his colleagues who collapsed to the ground)
Little girl (seeing the block of stone and the figure turning towards her): Don't hurt me, I didn't do anything. I...
Nurikabe: Don't be afraid anymore, child. We have come to save you.
?: The exit is right here. Once out, the police will take you home. Go! (he was about to go out the window as Nurikabe passed through the floor but ...)
Little Girl: Wait! Who are you ?!
?: I am the one who protects humans from what is beyond them. Now go!
(He left and the girl left the hideout and was taken away by the police to go home)
