The bad spirits don't show up on camera, and so neither did my grave mistake.

I'll never forget the irredeemable mistake I committed on that day, but all the same, one cannot move forward in life by dwelling on past regrets.

It is thanks to my experience on that day that I was able to commit myself to a new philosophy of being a real hero.

Don Kanonji continues to carry out exorcisms all over Japan, but he has returned to Karakura Town once again for the first time in a year...

...to film the episode, "The Spirit Hunter Pursues the Skull-Faced Woman in Another Karakura Town Hit Special!"

I heard you were meant to go after the skull-faced woman but ended up spending a whole night fighting off evil spirits. At least you won, I guess.

Don Kanonji

What? You're not even going to recognize me as the hero who saved Tokyo from the clutches of the evil terrorists?!

Um... Anyway, I heard you did them in with a special move of yours. Could you tell me more about it?

Don Kanonji

My power alone is no match for those bad spirits.

However, I always carry in my heart the power of the Karakura Superheroes, even when they are not with me.

Our bond, our souls, and our vibes are what led me to victory!

Who are the Karakura Superheroes?

Don Kanonji

Great question!

It's a team of kids who are just as dedicated as I am to protecting the peace of Karakura Town! I am both its producer and its Gold hero!

For the direct battles, I fought together with the new faces, but Red, Yellow, and Pink also fought alongside me in my heart!

I wasn't able to meet with White or Platinum afterward, but...

...the spirits are always with us!

Just like how their spirits are always with me, I'm sure my spirit is always with them, too.

Kisuke

Oh? Are you done with the interview, Shuhei?

Shuhei

Yes, and I learned a lot. We even spent a lot of time talking about cars and fashion.

I think I could write a very interesting article with what I have. Thank you for setting up the appointment for me.

Kisuke

No worries. I was paid nicely for it, after all.

I never thought the Seireitei Bulletin would be interested in a spiritualist from the world of the living, though.

Shuhei

He's been the talk of Rukon District recently, so a lot of readers are interested in learning more about him.

And then there's this latest incident, too. It's a journalist's job to conduct a lot of interviews and create records, right?

Soul Pager

*Beep* *Beep*

Shuhei

The editorial department?

Hello? What? You want me to discard the entire interview? I understand the other thing, but...

Right. Tell me the details when I return.

Kisuke

Sounds like a whole new can of worms.

Shuhei

Yeah...

The Central 46 has ordered a certain part of Don Kanonji's records to be destroyed.

The unspoken stories were lost to time, only living on in the memories of a select few.

Even so, he walks on in the night, breaking the chains of sadness and reaching out to the nameless.
