History
Ultra Q: Dark Fantasy
The totem pole as seen in the antique shop
Tachibana was a young high school student devoted to sports. On the sports grounds she could not bring herself to talk to her crush. For her it was an unrequited love. One day she visited a rather suspicious antique store, where she obtained a three-eyed totem pole that would grant her wishes. Meanwhile, Professor Watarai meets with his friends to inform them of an email he received from an old archeologist friend. The message read "please dispose of the three-eyed totem". After leaving behind this message, the archeologist’s body was discovered, having suffered an unnatural death.
Trivia
- The episode was based on British author W. W. Jacobs' short story "The Monkey's Paw," published in 1902.
