One day, a huge eyeball appears near Mt. Fuji. People are shocked and panic. It just floats there, not doing anything, but Kitaro goes to get the situation under control. On his way there, he meets a man named Kadokura. He is researching youkai, specifically Daidarabocchi, and dreams of a world where humans and youkai live together. Kitaro warns him that it's better if humans and youkai don't grow too close, but he doesn't listen. Why is Kadokura so obsessed with Daidarabocchi? And who are the dark hooded figures moving in secret to resurrect Daidarabocchi? What is their aim...?!
Floating above Kofu are what can only be
two massive eyeballs!
ما يعوم فوق كوفو الآن لا يمكن
!أن يكون إلا مقلتي عين ضخمتين
Über Kōfu schweben gerade zwei gigantische
Augäpfel, daran besteht kein Zweifel.
Se mire por donde se mire, ¡hay 
dos ojos gigantes en el cielo!
Quelli che stanno volando ora sui cieli di Kōfu sono
senza alcun dubbio due giganteschi bulbi oculari!
Flutuando sobre Kofu, está o que só
conseguimos ver como dois olhos gigantes!
