鬼太郎調查偷取臉龐的詛咒鏡子，與鏡子爺爺展開激戰。

While walking through the city with Nezumi-Otoko, Kitarō suddenly senses a yōkai presence. His Yōkai Antenna leads him to an old mirror in an antique shop. Nezumi-Otoko tries to warn the shop owner about the mirror but only ends up offending him with the very suggestion his product is cursed. Kitarō is worried the mirror might contain an evil force, so at Medama-Oyaji's suggestion he returns to the shop to investigate further. When he gets there, he discovers the mirror is already sold. After convincing the shop owner to tell him who he sold it to, Kitarō learns it was bought by a man named Ōyama. At the Ōyama house, the man gives the mirror to his daughter Kaori. However, during a blackout soon after, Kaori looks into the mirror, sees her face disappear, screams and faints. When her parents reach her room she is gone without a trace. Kitarō arrives at the house to investigate the mirror, but is denied due to the commotion so he tries to sneak in. He is arrested and brought to the station, but Nezumi-Otoko has already spoken to the police there so Kitarō is officially put on the case. When Kitarō asks to see the mirror, the Ōyama family maid reveals she was told to throw it away but ended up selling it to some strange old man who approached her while she was bringing it to the garbage. Kitarō believes the old man is a yōkai, so he asks to see the money he paid her, but all she has now are leaves. Medama-Oyaji recognizes the leaves as coming from Mt. Dekoboko, so they head there immediately. On their way to Mt. Dekoboko, Nezumi-Otoko becomes tired, so they stop at an abandoned house for the night. While looking for food outside, Nezumi-Otoko happens across the mirror from the antique shop. While distracted, the old man yōkai who tricked the maid kicks him into the mirror. Back at the house, Kitarō is suddenly attacked by an invisible entity. He restrains it with his blanket, but they hear a female voice say "I can't breath". Medama-Oyaji deduces that it is a young girl who has turned invisible somehow, but when asked why she is invisible she says that Kagami-Jijii kidnapped her stole her image. The girl turns out to be Oyama's missing daughter Kaori and she explains that she is trapped in Kagami-Jijii's mirror world. While searching for Kagami-Jijii the next day, Kitarō and Medama-Oyaji come across the invisible Nezumi-Otoko and promise to save his image as well. They find Kagami-Jijii in an old shack, leering at Kaori's image in his own mirror. He enters the mirror to pester her, so Kitarō knocks on the door, pretending to be an innocent traveler, and tries to take him by surprise. However, as Kagami-Jijii lives in the mirror world, he has no physical form, so Kitarō falls right through him. Kitarō uses strange abilities to dodge Kagami-Jijii's attacks as well and a brief battle ensues. In the end, however, Kagami-Jijii is able to throw him into the mirror, stealing his image, and the enters the mirror himself to finish him off. The invisible Kitarō in the real world informs Medama-Oyaji that he plans to break the mirror from the inside, which will destroy Kagami-Jijii but might also seal all of their images away forever. Before Kitarō can act, Kagami-Jijii comes out of the mirror and attacks Medama-Oyaji. The invisible Kitarō grabs onto Kagami-Jijii, which results in him forcing Kagami-Jijii's spirit out of his body, which then escapes to the mirror. Nezumi-Otoko then takes the opportunity to get a new body and enters Kagami-Jijii's physical form. Kitarō tells Nezumi-Otoko to let him use the body, but he refuses, so Kitarō smacks him around with Kagami-Jijii's cane. He gains control of the body and smashes the mirror, destroying Kagami-Jijii and returning everyone's image. On the walk to return Kaori to her parents, Nezumi-Otoko pesters her about a reward, much to Kitarō's chagrin. Kaori is willing to reward them, but Kitarō turns it down, saying he fights evil yōkai only to make the world a better place. (Source: GeGeGe no Kitarō Wiki)

鬼太郎直面808狸貓與威脅日本的假月亮

In Shikoku, construction work with dynamite was begun near the mountain home of the 808 Tanuki. And old lady warns the crew not to disturb them, but she is laughed off and taken away. Sure enough, the 808 Tanuki are released and scare off the crew. The old lady reaches a police box and tells the officer to phone the government. They get through to a politician (from here on referred to as "the secretary"), but are taken out by a tanuki in a kimono before they can give him much information. The secretary tells his aide to set up a meeting to deal with the possible threat. Later, a second moon appears over Tokyo, sending the people into a panic. Kitarō arrives and points out to the crowd that the moon is fake. He explains that it is the work of yōkai, but is laughed off by everyone. The secretary and his aide then follow him in their car and requests his presence at a meeting the next day to discuss the situation. But as Kitarō heads home, the second moon follows him closely, and he runs for his life. He trips over a patch of dirt that turns out to be a disguised tanuki, and a large tanuki named Dansaburō leads others in beating Kitarō with clubs. The next day, an unconscious Kitarō is found in the river by Nezumi-Otoko. Medama-Oyaji explains that the 808 Tanuki are making their move and they must run away. GGGnK68 EP21.jpg Before they get too far, they are quickly surrounded by tanuki. A tanuki in a top hat explains to them that they plan to take over the surface world and turn it into a tanuki kingdom. They also reveal that the second moon is actually the egg of the giant beast Kōryū (the titular Yō-Kaijū). They then bring them back to Shikoku to meet their leader, the Gyōbu-Danuki. The Gyōbu-Danuki tells his minions to take them to see their other giant beast, the Ōnamazu. There they see the secretary has been captured as well, but he tells them he had already given the order to launch an attack on the second moon, unaware it contained Kōryū. Sure enough, back in Tokyo, the army launches a missile at the egg, dropping it into the Tokyo Bay. In retaliation, Gyōbu-Danuki demands the secretary speak to the government about handing over Japan. He refuses, but Kitarō convinces him to go along with what they say for now. The Gyōbu-Danuki gives Kitarō three days to help the secretary get things in order, and he kisses him on the cheek to symbolize the promise. Kitarō instead gets to work resealing the 808 Tanuki's cave with Nezumi-Otoko's help, although Medama-Oyaji warns him against breaking a promise with the Gyōbu-Danuki. Although the tanuki are sealed again, Kitarō's cheek that was kissed suddenly swells and the next day he begins transforming into a tanuki. Knowing Kitarō will object to it, Medama-Oyaji and Nezumi-Otoko drug his food and head back to Shikoku to break the new seal, hoping it will end the curse. They succeed in breaking the seal but are immediately captured by the re-released tanuki. Kitarō returns to normal but then hears an unfamiliar roar in the distance. He travels by Bake-Garasu to Tokyo just as Kōryū hatches from it's egg and rises from Tokyo Bay. The episode ends as Kōryū goes on a rampage, completely undeterred by the army's missiles.

狸貓統治東京，鬼太郎與蛟龍、大鯰展開激戰，精彩第二部。

Kōryū rampages through Tokyo before burrowing a giant hole in Mt. Fuji, giving the tanuki a path directly to Tokyo. The Gyōbu-Danuki demands the Japanese government to hand over the country, and in the face of their overwhelming power, he has no choice but to comply. Kitarō seeks help from Ittan-Momen and the two of them head off to the city to fight Kōryū, but are overwhelmed and defeated. They are captured and Kitarō is forced to surrender under the threat of Medama-Oyaji being beheaded, while Nezumi-Otoko, on the other hand, had switched to the tanuki side. Ittan-Momen, believed dead, is used by the tanuki Dansaburō as a loincloth. Kitarō and Medama-Oyaji are fed to Ōnamazu, but one of Kitarō's geta falls off before he is swallowed. The geta jumps to the monster's nostril and tickles it until it spits them out and they attempt to make their escape. Ōnamazu catches him with it's whisker and throws him into the water, but Kitarō finally stuns the beast with a surge of his electric powers. As they recuperate, Medama-Oyaji tells Kitarō the only way to seal Ōnamazu is to find the magic capstone the tanuki removed from over it's home. As construction on Tanuki Castle is nearly completed, Dansaburō takes a nap and is strangled to death by Ittan-Momen, who had only been playing dead. Nezumi-Otoko and two tanuki find him and deduce that it as Ittan-Momen's doing. As the tanuki go to hunt him down, Ittan-Momen captures Nezumi-Otoko and forces him to help him get close to the Gyōbu-Danuki. Meanwhile, Kitarō finds the capstone and is compelled to touch it and turns to stone upon doing so. Medama-Oyaji realizes this is probably a curse place on it by the Gyōbu-Danuki. The curse doesn't last long, though, as around the same time Ittan-Momen is able to get close to Gyōbu-Danuki and strangle him. Once he is knocked unconscious, Kitarō returns to normal and makes a run for it. Nezumi-Otoko is chased down and beaten by the tanuki while Ittan-Momen is captured an cut up into pieces. Nezumi-Otoko is then tied up and sentenced to be burned at the stake for betraying the tanuki. Kōryū melting from Kitarō's stomach acids Nezumi-Otoko's cross falls over, causing the a tanuki to fall back and knock over a pail of water. The water is soaked up by the pieces of Ittan-Momen, which then expand and reconnect, bringing him back to life. Before the tanuki can set fire to Nezumi-Otoko, Ittan-Momen saves him and they make their escape. Kitaro comes to the giant hole Kōryū dug and runs into the secretary just as the beast is released once again. Kōryū steps on Kitarō, so the secretary decides to seek help from the Hokkaido branch of the army. Just as Ittan-Momen and Nezumi-Otoko arrive, Kōryū begins to melt. As it turns out, Kitarō was crushed so hard his stomach burst, causing his powerful stomach acid to melt himself and Kōryū down to a puddle. Medama-Oyaji weeps because, since Kitarō and Kōryū have melted together, it will be harder than normal for Kitarō to revive himself. Ittan-Momen then suggests Resurrection Powder, which should be able to separate Kitarō's essence from Kōryū's. The tanuki are preparing to grind the men of Japan into sausage when Gyōbu-Danuki receives the news that Kōryū has been defeated. He summons Ōnamazu out of the depths to rampage through Tokyo. The Hokkaido army arrives to fight back, but they are completely wiped out by Ōnamazu. Meanwhile, Kitarō's puddle has successfully separated from Kōryū's puddle and he is ready to fight. Nezumi-Otoko informs him of the situation and how not even the American army stood a chance, but Kitarō refuses to quit and asks Ittan-Momen if he can carry his puddle, which eventually begins to reshape into his original body. They soon find Ōnamazu in the middle of the ocean and are almost immediately eaten. However, Kitarō is able to control Ōnamazu from the inside and makes it swim away from Japan to the arctic circle, where it freezes solid. Meanwhile, Medama-Oyaji heads back to Shikoku with Nezumi-Otoko to once again repair the seal on their cave. Nezumi-Otoko is chased by the tanuki as Medama-Oyaji replaces the seal. Once it is done, the tanuki all turn to stone and Tanuki Castle in Tokyo crumbles to pieces. Later, the secretary thanks Medama-Oyaji and Nezumi-Otoko in place of Kitarō, as he and Ittan-Momen have not been seen since they left with Ōnamazu. After the secretary leaves, Umi-Jijii walks up, having found frozen Kitarō and Ittan-Momen frozen and floating in his sea. Medama-Oyaji and Nezumi-Otoko take them to a hospital, where Ittan-Momen is sewn back together and Kitarō is put in an incubator, with hopes that Kitarō will be back to normal in a couple of months.
