<Summary of the new chapter “the final Nurarihyon edition”>
An case of an explosionexplosion occurred in the human world.
It may be the act of a terrorist bombing as the victim is an influential politician.
The politician was being entertained at a famous restaurant (Ryotei) at the time , and the person who was attending him was unknown, but there was information that someone with a red face was accompanying him…

On the other hand,
a letter from a human comes into the Yokai post
The letter says that they are in trouble because a big youkai is running rampant on a golf course development site.
Kitaro thought the yokai whose homes have been destroyed got angry and rampant. He also have mixed thoughts about a new golf course development project especially in this year of Reiwa?
What an nachronism isn’t it?
A guy approaches in front of Kitaro.
What is the aim of “the guy” who suddenly appeared on the front stage again ,breaking many years of silence?

I am very honored that Otsuka-san and Cho-san will be able to perform in this anime.
What kind of things Nurarihyon will come up with?
And how will Kitaro face them? In the new chapter, there will be more energy and scale, and it will be developed with a boost of modernity.
Please look forward to it.
