Gyo: The Death-Stench Creeps

ギョ

Gyo

Diver Tadashi and his girlfriend Kaori Sawahara head to the coast of Okinawa and soon become caught in a horrifying situation. Their rocky relationship falls to the side when they accidentally witness the start of a worldwide disaster. Inside their cabin, a strange fish with four legs attacks them; they manage to defeat it, but it leaves behind a foul stench that reeks of death. That encounter is only the beginning, as many similar creatures rise from the sea, causing destruction wherever they go. Even after a quick escape to Tokyo, Tadashi and Kaori find there is no place to hide—the odor of death pursues them without pause. Amigara Dansou no Kai (The Enigma of Amigara Fault): After a huge earthquake near Mount Amigara, a long fault line is exposed. The discovery grows even more unsettling due to the countless holes shaped like human bodies carved into the rock, seeming to stretch far into the mountain. As Oowaki watches alongside other curious onlookers, a strange, personalized urge drives people to enter these holes, as if each one were made specifically for that individual. Daikokubashira Hiwa (The Sad Tale of the Principal Post): A family's joyful celebration of their new home is suddenly cut short when they hear their father's cries. Investigating, they find him in the basement, where they come across a confusing and inexplicable tragedy.
