Ep. 20: Amefuri-Kozo seeks Kitaro's help regarding a lethal order from Lord Yama.

20

Amefuri-Kozo visits Kitaro’s residence to request guidance on a troubling dilemma. He received a directive from Lord Yama, also known as Enma-Daiō, commanding him to execute a human responsible for misdeeds. Despite the target's wickedness, Amefuri-Kozo lacks the resolve to take a life. Medama-Oyaji clarifies that Sanchu, demons residing within every human, report these evil acts to Yama and sometimes designate suitable yokai to carry out the execution. Fortunately for Amefuri-Kozo, Neko-Musume arrives and volunteers to assume this duty on his behalf, relieving him of the burden.
