[Applause] [Music] one day the ruler of the morakami province receives a warning from a neighboring feudal Lord who has decided to seize a mountain to build a castle there however Lord morakami orders the messenger to be killed and prepares to defend the village sometime later the mountain is besieged by the neighbor Army confident in Victory and mocking the Lord whose face is hidden behind a mask he sends his soldiers into battle but the small group led by the Lord standing before them extends their hands forward and the entire Army Falls destroyed by an unknown weapon that literally pierces their bodies present day at a university a group of students studying paranormal abilities gathers one of them Yoji Minami Maru nicknamed nanaru possesses a small Supernatural power the ability to create tiny holes in everything which he demonstrates on a stack of paper the young people are impressed by his skill but Nan Maru himself doesn't consider it useful since he can't even find a job just then he receives a summons from Professor morakami and heads to the Department of history and folklore where he meets lecturer Emmy who is worried about the professor's absence morakami had gone on a research trip and disappeared the woman is surprised by the boy's last name and asks about his family but he can't recall anything of interest meanwhile in the town of marukawa located on Mount morakami a girl named sacho wakes up from a nightmare her grandmother brings her milk and tries to calm her down back at the Paranormal Enthusiast Club there's a disagreement and one of the boys remarks on the uselessness of Nan maru's ability the boy gets upset and recalls how his grandfather taught him to punch tiny holes in objects by shouting believing his grandson was special at this moment he is found by student Emmy to guy the thing is Emmy while researching his genealogy discovered a common ancestor in the boy's family and the professors she asked nanaru to help search for him as the last case morakami studied was the murder of their ancestor the boy's parents can't help since their family moved away from there a long time ago in the morning they show him a model of the village made by tagay and Emmy tells an ancient legend in which nonan maru's ancestor betrayed Lord morakami leading to his death in battle however the professor found a written account that during the battle all the enemies perished with only only one person on murakami's side and 10 days later a festival took place on this spot which would be very strange if the residents had betrayed and killed their lord Tey draws everyone's attention to the shape of the mountains around the village as if they were artificially created but who could have done such a thing back then later nanaru demonstrates his ability to his new friends which greatly impresses them meanwhile in the town of marukawa an official notices a strange black circle on a window pane he reaches out and his hand seems to be cut off and then the man's head splits as if struck by a spherical object at the University Emmy asked nanaru to show his ability and tells him that the professor also learned to punch holes and objects before he disappeared however they were much larger at this point the boy suggests that the ability might have come from their common ancestor at that moment everyone hears the news about the murder of the official in marawa Namar suggest they search for the professor themselves the action returns to Medieval Times Lord morakami vows not to let let anyone invade his lands his fingers begin to extend and strange round marks appear on his wrists present day the students along with Emmy arrive in marukawa and begin searching for the professor but no one has seen him however the young people find armor with round holes in the local Museum and on the local Lord's Banner they notice the image of a magpie a human hand and a circle the meaning of which no one knows they discover that after Mina MIM Mara's death his lord gave his youngest son to his family so the lineage would not die out so nanaru is a descendant of the Lord himself they question people on the street but no one has seen the professor soon the students find the building where the murder occurred and for the first time wonder if non maru's ability could punch through window glass at a cafe the group learns about the upcoming tanabata Festival the men sitting at a nearby table suddenly mentioned that the professor's presence will make the festival Unforgettable and lead to the Lord's Revival T guy ask questions but the men pretend to know nothing about the professor then they hear nonan maru's name and become excited later the friends joke about how the locals consider nanaru to be the Lord and practically worship Him Emmy reminds them that tanabata is Japan's day of lovers celebrated on July 7th on this night the Stars Vega in the constellation Lyra and alter in the constellation Aquila separated by the Milky Way come closest and The Magpie lays a bridge between them but what do these facts reveal the next day the group goes to the mountain where the festival will take place and finds seven strangely shaped Stones standing in the middle of a clearing later sucho visits nanaru wanting to see the boy's abilities he punches a can but it seems that the girl expected something different in the evening Emmy suggests returning to Tokyo because she doesn't trust the locals meanwhile the hotel owner makes a phone call reporting that nanaru can make holes in objects the next day a young man whom sachiko calls her brother and clearly fears enters her home but the grandmother asks him to leave and never return nanaru meanwhile goes to the cafe and the owner reminds him that this Village is his real home the boy asks sachiko to explain her comment about the man who can achieve and she arranges to meet him in the evening the girl explains that in the town two types of people with superpowers are born Achievers and window openers there are only five of the former including namaru but the latter are those worthy of becoming Priests of Mount morakami the boy doesn't understand what's so exciting about this since the hole is so small but the girl abruptly cuts him off she just wants to live a normal life after all she is a window opener meanwhile sachiko's brother tekashi is walking among people and encounters some local guys Emmy notices a strange glow over the mountain she and Tey head there and see a group of people in white robes dancing with torches in a clearing summoning someone meanwhile the guys beat tekashi and pulling off his hat see a stone embedded in his forehead they leave him on the road Emmy and Tay sneak closer to the dancers and see a masked man performing some kind of ritual after the people leave the pair approach the stones and realized there are only six it means that each day of the festival one stone will disappear at this moment tekashi raises his hands and his attackers lose their legs another group of people in white arrives at the mountain meanwhile a newspaper article is published about the outrage of local residents protesting the construction of a golf course on the Mountain's Peak as this place is sacred to them at this time the people in white capture Emmy and Tay but she shouts the professor's name and one of the men uncovers his face it turns out to be the village head who led the tanabata ritual passed down through generations in the morami family they apologize and ask her to describe what she saw Emmy recounts the first group that had already been there returning to town she ask the students to leave while she stays to find the professor as she is sure he is alive in the morning nanaru says goodbye to sicho and exchanges emails with her later Emmy sees the students off just as tekashi arrives at the hotel and realizes that that the boy has left noticing that the hotel owner is making a call he smashes the phone he finds out the boy's address in Tokyo and leaves he later finds nanaru at the club and begins teaching him how to use his power he raises his hands and a sphere grows between his palms which he calls a sphere Beyond reality it can easily dismember a person or another object nanaru follows his advice and creates his first sphere seeing its size tekashi runs for water and trying to pour it over the sphere breaks the bucket he then convin senses the boy that they are chosen all of this is witnessed by Nan maru's classmate Aki later nanaru writes to sachiko and she advises him to stay away from her brother at the cafe in marawa unknown men in black suits arrive which the owner immediately reports to the town leader he orders everyone to keep their mouth shut on the same day the professor calls Emmy apologizes and tells her that his window has opened he assures her that he didn't kill anyone and says goodbye to her in Tokyo a meeting takes place with a politician who wants to run for a higher office while he is speaking to the assembled crowd a man with a masked face enters the university building and places his long fingered hands against the wall suddenly a huge black sphere appears on stage right in front of the politician the man reaches out to it and his body is immediately sliced in half meanwhile Emmy returns to Tokyo and nanaru demonstrates his new abilities which frightens his friends after all this is how the murder in marawa happened that night Sao visits her grand grandfather who has round marks on his arms and a stone grows in his forehead meanwhile the person who ordered the politician murder known as the baron watches the footage of the event and Praises his subordinate for coming up with such a way to dispose of an undesirable person but the murder in marawa was unnecessary therefore he needs someone more obedient that morning tekashi comes to nanaru again to suggest that he participate in a project to train people in superpowers a significant number of people attend this paid seminar under tekashi's guidance nanaru demonstrates his power by Smashing a metal statue this causes unprecedented excitement among the audience nanaru himself is delighted with the fee he received unaware that tekashi and his accomplice host yiara earned hundreds of times more the guys discuss Nam maru's foolishness not noticing that Aki is recording their conversation that evening the baron is informed that one of the Achievers lives in Tokyo meanwhile nanaru notices a strange growth on his forehead at the same time Emmy continues studying the professor's papers and suddenly seems to see him morakami reminds her that tanabata was first celebrated on April 29th and so it has always been but it's already may now Emmy rushes to check the records and realizes that the dates have changed in the western Gregorian calendar they coincide including the very first but this calendar was only introduced in 1582 and only in Catholic countries but how could it have appeared in marawa meanwhile non Mara continues participating in seminars s supposedly teaching people superpowers the boy tries to explain that not everyone can do this but no one believes him then Aki lets him listen to the recording she made namaru refuses to participate in the seminars explaining that his power is not meant for deceit meanwhile in marukawa sachiko meets a massed man at her mother's grave whom she calls Lord yoruki morakami at the evening Gathering the town leader reports to sachiko's grandfather about a group of Outsiders looking for Achievers in their town he reminds them of the rule no one should know the village is secret the next day yoruki is brought to the baron the achiever demands that the village be left alone but the baron claps his hands and four armed men run out of the neighboring rooms however yoruki is much faster and all fall with pierced heads he agrees to work temporarily for the baron and removes the mask from his face the baron is horrified to see a completely inhuman face meanwhile nanaru continues to look for a job where he could properly use his power suddenly he hears calls for help passers by have found a child in a locked car they locate the mother but she has lost her keys and cannot open the vehicle seeing the boy losing Consciousness from the heat namaru uses his powers to smash the car's window people are impressed and the mother thanks the Savior later he sees a news report about the incident but these same shots catch the attention of tekashi and yiara they begin vandalizing the signs of establishments with problems TV reports about them start to appear raising social issues everyone discusses the unknown boy whom they nicknam chisel the police start an investigation the baron is displeased with the commotion but yoruki assures him that he knows who is responsible meanwhile in marawa people believe that tekashi is behind all this saiko's grandfather and the professor asked the girl to go to Tokyo following his friend's advice nanaru decides to become a janitor thinking he could simply destroy the trash however the group soon notices that the mark on his forehead grows with each use of his power one day sachiko arrives in Tokyo she confesses to Emmy that the town lied the professor was there all along now he hands his assistant a letter of apology through satko she explains that all the town's residents have been having nightmares their conversation is interrupted by namo's arrival the girl notices the mark on his forehead but the boy doesn't understand her hints he points out the place where tekashi might be at another seminar where tekashi continues to deceive people a delegation from the town arrives and demands that these activities stop tekashi pointing at namaru accuses the boy of wanting to monopolize the gift and no matter how much namaru yells trying to explain the truth people don't listen then sachiko steps forward she accuses her brother of lying and calls him a killer tekashi raises his hands as if preparing to create a sphere but at that moment a loud pop is heard and a huge hole appears in the window yoruki standing below calls tekashi to him and the ladder runs down he orders tekashi to stop deceiving people but the seminar attendees don't want that so yoruki instantly creates a massive sphere and blows off part of the roof he explains that no one can develop this gift even after thousands of years of training and shows his hands but upon noticing nanaru he suddenly declares that the boy must be erased sachiko Shields him with her body and the blow strikes the ground later the town's people explained to nanaru that y Yuki morakami would have been the ruler of the settlement in ancient times now he eliminates disobedient telekinetics that's why he took tekashi away uncontrolled power is a threat to The Village's existence Naru doesn't understand hasn't anyone ever used the gift for

bloody body tekashi insisted he didn't do it but their mother expelled him from the house the grandfather and the village residence covered up the incident one day her mother went to the mountain asking the girl to bring yoruki who had already lost his human form on the way she talked about her nightmares but he confessed that everyone saw them they reached the mountain where her mother left this world afterward yoriyuki left the village only returning when he learned that a developer wanted to desecrate the mountain tekashi wouldn't have been able to do it being too small-minded and self-centered she's glad that nanaru sees the gift in a positive light meanwhile the police start investigating The Disappearance of their officers one detective constantly recalls the incident on stage and meets Aki who insists that the spatial sphere is no mere trick suddenly namaru suggests to his friends that they shut down the project believing the gift is too great for mere crash removal later he goes to see mme who tells him that she found a few strange phrases about the solar years in the professor's letter she compared the facts and realized that the village used a solar not a Gregorian calendar during the festival the solstice was always present thus the taba Festival lasted 3 days before the solstice one day during it and 3 days after namaru later takes a job with a

people people meet on The Veranda sacho asks him to be careful and offers sweet sake which helps with nightmares she believes that the dead turn into stars in the sky the distance between them is vast no matter how much you scream no one will hear you and the loneliest thing is your own death when you are the only one stepping out of the window the girl talks about her nightmares where she is searching for someone unexpectedly she finds herself on a mountain where she feels the presence of someone beyond the Milky Way and they extend a hand to her namaru grabs her hand and confesses that tekashi regretted his behavior sacho however hopes that her brother did not go into the darkness alone that night Emmy struggles to sleep replaying everything that happened in her mind the next day despite the police's order to stay indoors the men of marawa arrang a meeting not noticing that Aki is recording their conversation which she later shows to Emmy the friends discover that there are no news reports anywhere about the massacre in the town and decide to go to the meeting meanwhile the police knock on sao's grandmother's door searching for nanaru but the girl leads him out through the back door however nanaru is convinced that the police are looking for yoruki in the evening the residents on their way to the meeting are stopped by the police a confrontation ensues which Emmy and her students observe then The Baron's men arrive also seeking to capture yoruki but the residents refuse to hand over their Priest The Baron's assistant fires a shot over their heads claiming that yoruki possesses a terrifying power that could destroy the planet at this point Nan Maru intervened suggesting they meet with yoruki first to let him explain his actions when people start shouting again he creates a sphere nanaru admits that he doesn't know why he has such abilities but there can be no talk of betrayal by the town then Professor morakami steps out from the crowd Emmy is horrified to see the enormous Stone in his forehead and faints namaru is at a city council meeting he asked them to agree that he will convince yoruki to talk to the police and The Baron's men guards will wait for him on the mountain to persuade him to leave the town without harming its residents later he informs his friends that the professor wants to meet with them in his laboratory in the morning the team goes to morami they gather around the model and the professor begins his explanation The Village Festival was established and held for 7 days during tanabata the summer solstice in Chinese history from which this Festival originated it symbolized a magpie that bridged the Milky Way it was also on the Lord's flag but it turns out that magpies didn't exist in Japan at that time so it must must have been something similar the professor asks to guy to help him smears his hand with ink and asks him to make a handprint he then shows yor Yuki's handprint left at the Master's estate and aligns them in a specific order the group immediately recalls the Lord's emblem in the marawa museum it looks as though a long-fingered hand is passing a sphere to a human hand the professor asks them to look at the model tagy immediately notices that the mountains seem artificial and that tanabata takes place on the solstice days when a second Sunset can be seen morakami simulates the sunset during the solstice and the group is surprised to see two hands in a black sphere between them in the mountainous landscape the professor Marvels at the unknown Master's creation an enormous Earth sculpture spanning several kilometers one might consider that it was created by the kasas Sagi who appeared in this area perhaps from the sky how would people have reacted to this after all according to the peasants beliefs the entire land was inhabited by gods and they couldn't always distinguish between good and evil the Kasa Sagi who became Gods to them began visiting this planet regularly as mentioned in many tales and legends and if you look at Mount morami you can see that it resembles a helicopter landing pad so the festival torches served as guiding lights the festival itself began as a ceremony to welcome the gods during the summer solstice but at some point the kasas Sagi stopped appearing yet for thousands of years people continued to meet them even though they never came however the town became trapped in its beliefs invisible chains keep the initiates and in one place fear and loneliness are what lie beyond the window and the window openers have to wait for the kasas Sagi the professor and Sao are among those the visitors learned to reach thousands of years ago using their minds the large flag on the mountain most likely symbolizes loyalty and a reminder that one should not leave this earth for this fear is instilled in the window openers that's why the locals have protected this mountain for every era it's hard to believe but it's unknown whether the kasas Sagi will ever return they may have died long ago the next morning the guards on the mountain come out for breakfast and later Emmy and her students arrive the professor is concerned about their well-being and suggests they all go to the city but nanaru refuses he feels obligated to be the first to meet yoruki morami supports his decision as the town's people need protection each generation of priests has ingrained the sacred Duty into their minds but the professor is the only one who thought to create a model and can now visually show people what is really happening here they light bonfires to show your Yuki that there are people here after all he most likely wants to destroy the mountain that would end everything but the people are becoming hostages in the evening the students and namaru go on watch the boy asks sachiko about her dreams and suggests they leave this place to start a new life moreover he feels something for her at that moment the Barons men appear they haven't waited for your Yuki and demand to know where he is otherwise they'll start killing the town's people the professor is outraged and even creates a sphere but then one of the baron soldiers shoots his comrades and removes his helmet revealing himself to be y Yuki those who haven't seen his form before scream in fear The Baron's assistant tries to shoot him and immediately dies from a sphere yoriyuki admits that he always imagined the black sphere as a trash shoot he simply pushed those who posed a threat to the Village into it but now he doubts that the ancestors the kasas Sagi might have contacted their descendants many times but most most of them didn't develop the ability to leave with them unharmed he believes that his ancestors were from other stars they possessed knowledge and logic foreign to earthlings but what if it's not a window but a gate and by entering the sphere you can be transported to the ancestors Planet that's why he changed his plans at that moment people see a huge black sphere above their heads yoruki announces that he intends to leave with the kasagi sachiko suddenly asks him to take her with him the Dark World Is Calling to her and she wants to find peace nanaru reminds her of her dreams the girl reaches out and through the darkness she sees an inhuman hand beckoning her from another reality but just as she is about to grasp it nanaru grabs her wrist yoruki shakes his head nanaru will never understand the feelings of the window openers the boy agrees but he doesn't like that the girl is ready to go into the Afterlife without experiencing even a small part of this vast World here there is wisdom mistakes and attempts to start over the world is thousands of years old and compared to that all superpowers are insignificant he doesn't want her to leave and ask her to stay the girl agrees she remembers how her mother once left for the sphere your Yuki also recalls that moment and Promises to wait for her the sphere begins to grow and nanaru orders everyone to run the people Rush down the mountain while yoruki stands under the sphere waiting for it to consume him a massive explosion occurs nara's team manages to take cover in the forest and the town's electricity goes out time passes tagy enrolls in graduate school Emy and murakami resigned from the department and now live together in marawa Aki has become an independent internet journalist and now lives with the former policeman the people of marawa quickly reconstructed the area where the mountain once stood namaru has opened a company where people exchange items without using money it's strange but highly successful he no longer uses his abilities which means his appearance will remain unchanged one day he goes to marawa where a festival is scheduled to take place in the evening after all the festival continues in the hope that someone will come from the Milky Way and sajo lives in her house always waiting for nanaru the series is based on the manga by hitoshi aaki the author of the famous parasite while the middle of the plot May drag a bit the finale ties everything together and thoroughly explains the events on screen which is a rare feat in modern Cinema
