A client, Youko, says her hands have been "stolen." On her neck are clear marks from where she strangled herself with her own hands. Daddy Eyeball believes it's the work of Te-no-me, but he has some doubts because Te-no-me is a youkai that usually only plays pranks. A string of suspicious deaths begins. Kitaro realizes that all the victims had their hands "stolen" by Te-no-me just like Youko. In the midst of Kitaro's confusion, Nurarihyon appears before him. What could Te-no-me's aim be? And what are Nurarihyon's motives?
"To all yokai,
now is the time to stand up."
".إلى جميع اليوكاي، حان وقت النهوض"
An alle Yōkai,
die Zeit ist gekommen,
uns zu erheben
A todos los yokai
Es hora de levantarnos.
A todos los yokai,
es hora de alzarnos.
À TOUS LES ESPRITS,
L’HEURE DU SOULÈVEMENT EST VENUE
A tutti gli yōkai. 
È il momento di sollevarci.
Para todos os Yokais, agora que
nós precisamos ficar de pé.
Всем ёкаям. 
Пришло время восстать.
