Mononoke 8.42
Other Name: モノノ怪
Summary: A mysterious man, "Medicine Seller" has an unbeaten sword. It has the ability to slash evil spirits known as "mononoke".When he finds one of these souls, he cannot simply kill it; he must first learn its Form, Truth, and Reason to wield the mighty Exorcist Sword and fight against it. He must begin his strange exorcisms with intense psychological analysis and careful investigative work—an extremely dangerous step, as he must first confront and learn about the mononoke before he even has the means to defeat it. The Medicine Seller's journey leads him to an old-fashioned inn where Shino, a pregnant woman, has finally found a place to rest. The owner has reluctantly placed her in the last vacant room; however, as she settles in, it quickly becomes clear that the room is infested by a lethal band of mononoke, the Zashiki Warashi. With his hunter's intuition, the Medicine Seller begins his investigation to discover the Form, the Truth, and the Reason before the Zashiki Warashi can kill again.
