A suspicious man playing a guitar offers to form an alliance with Ratman. His name is Vampire Elite. He is a youkai who only targets boys who will one day serve as pillars of the country, turning them into his servants and returning them to society so that he can control the world from the shadows. He plans to turn Kitaro into his servant to prevent Kitaro from interfering with his scheme. Dazzled by the exorbitant reward, Ratman agrees to help, but...?
Touma was bait. I let him escape
so you could protect him.
.توما كان طعمًا. تركته يهرب لتحميه
Tōma war nur der Köder. Ich habe ihn
entkommen lassen, damit du ihn beschützt.
Touma era carnada. Lo dejé 
escapar para que lo protegieras.
Touma era el cebo. Lo dejé
escapar para que lo protegieras.
Tôma n’était qu’un appât.
Je l’ai laissé filer pour t’attirer.
Tōma è un'esca! L'ho lasciato scappare apposta, 
perché tu potessi proteggerlo.
O Toma era a isca. Eu deixei ele
escapar para que pudesse protegê-lo.
