Round 3: The Unorthodox Exorcism
- Weapons of Opportunity: Instead of consecrated katanas, they use: expired talismans bought from a closing 100-yen shop, salt packets stolen from a bento, or a belt used as a makeshift whip.
- Living Conditions: Their "office" is a 6-tatami apartment with unpaid rent. They sleep next to stacks of overdue bills.
- Clients: Cannot afford to refuse any job. Exorcises everything from a kodama haunting a vending machine to a deity-level curse, often for compensation like a rice ball or an old bicycle.
- Comedy-Drama Balance: The horror is real, but the exorcist's plight—checking their bank account before fighting a ghost—provides dark humor.
- Strengths: Deep worldbuilding, emotional stakes, compelling long-form narrative, striking action sequences.
- Weaknesses: Dark tone and violence may alienate some; dense lore can be complex for casual viewers.
