A strange masked youkai is attacking groups of young people who then go missing. Kitaro begins to investigate the string of incidents. Just then, Mana gets caught up in the masked youkai's attack. Kitaro races in and manages to save Mana, but the other young people are kidnapped. Upon investigating the cell phones left behind at the scene, Cat-girl discovers that each of the victims has a picture of a certain camphor tree. Kitaro and the others head to the tree, but it's already been cut down. They hear a story from an old man named Kawaji. He says that the youkai is the guardian spirit of the camphor tree and the young people are getting what they deserve. Who is the masked youkai and what is he after...?!
In a town of people it stood proudly,
as if looking down on everyone.
وقفت بشموخ في بلدة يسكنها الناس
.وكأنها تنظر للجميع باستصغار
Stolz und erhaben stand er in einer Stadt
der Menschen und schaute auf alle herab.
Estaba en la ciudad,
Estaba en la ciudad,
Il se tenait fier et droit au cœur
de la ville, observant les humains.
In una città di esseri umani, si ergeva solenne,
 solo, come a dominarli con il suo sguardo.
Numa cidade cheia de pessoas ela ficava lá
firme, como se estivesse zelando por todos.
Люди жили внизу, а она стояла гордо, 
приглядывала за ними.
