In the mythologies of the world,

It's very common to see scales used in the process of judging a mortal's deeds.

One famous example comes Greek mythology.

The scales of the goddess Astraea became the model for the astrological sign Libra.

In Egypt, they have scales like these.

And even in Japan, there is a place where scales are utilized.

King Gokan's Chief of Staff

These are the Offices of Gokan, run by Gokan of the Ten Kings.

The Offices of Gokan are the fourth court of the deceased.

Shikimi, I'm taking my lunch.

Yes, King Gokan. I will see you later.

Mr. Hozuki has informed me that he will be coming by, so I want you to tidy up for him.

Take special care to make sure the Scales of Karma are well polished.

Of course!

Ms. Shikimi, I'll do that for you.

I'll help, too.

Oh, that's alright. You two go to lunch.

Today they used vajra bird eggs to make

fluffy, nutritious, melt-in-your-mouth rice omelets and a special flan a la mode.

Anyway, are you getting enough to eat?

I want you to eat lots of yummy food and sleep in a nice warm bed.

Yes, ma'am!

Something about Ms. Shikimi...

I just want to call her Mom.

Now all I have to do...

is carefully inspect the center and...

Whee! Whee!

A white dog, and a black dog, playing hustle seesaw on our scales?!

Woohoo!

Woohoo! Whee!

Excuse me, who are you?

Get down from there! You'll hurt yourselves!

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

They were just such magnificent scales, I simply couldn't help myself.

This might tell you who I am.

Wow, that was very helpful!

You're Mr. Anubis from Egypt!

Yes. I am King Osiris's Chief of Staff.

But they truly are magnificent scales. And so well cared for.

Oh, that's right! You use scales, too, don't you?

Yes! Scales are a thing of beauty.

Most people are using digital these days, but for beauty of form, nothing surpasses the old model.

I know how you feel.

Balance scales, for example, are a work of art!

You get it! They're wonderful, aren't they!

But Thoth back in Egypt, he has zero sense.

He'll hold the weights in his bare hands.

Really, who does that?

I see you fellow enthusiasts are hitting it off.

Oh, welcome!

You're here early.

I apologize. Shiro took off running, so...

Well, I wanted to see the big scales!

Since Mr. Anubis was visiting, I wanted to show him the Scales of Karma.

Of course! It's an honor!

Are you from Egypt, too?

Nope.

I'm a Japanese Hell Minion.

Anubis is my new friend I made today.

Black jackals are so cool!

No, white ones are cool, too!

Black ones are the coolest!

And these two are hitting it off in their own way, as well. Black ones are the coolest!

And these two are hitting it off in their own way, as well. Black jackals are so cool!

Mr. Anubis is Chief of Staff to the king of the Egyptian underworld, Lord Osiris. They are SO cool!

Mr. Anubis is Chief of Staff to the king of the Egyptian underworld, Lord Osiris.

He determines the weight of a deceased's sins using the scales of judgment.

Like this.

I feel like I may or may not have seen this in world history class.

On one side of the Scale of Ra, I put the deceased's heart.

On the other, I put the feather of Ma'at, which measures the truth.

A sinless person's heart will balance with the feather.

But if they have sinned...

then I take the bad guy's heart and...

toss it!

This signifies no rebirth, just complete obliteration.

Hmmm.

The afterlife is harsh no matter where you go.

So...

It's a rare treasure to see Anubis's face from the front.

How do you use these magnificent scales here in Japan?

Very much the same way.

We use them during trials, to measure good and evil.

But Ms. Shikimi, you look super nice.

Wouldn't everybody end up innocent?

Or is King Gokan, like, really super strict?

Oh!

Well, why don't you see for yourself?

Lord Hozuki, Lord Anubis.

I'm terribly sorry I wasn't here to greet you.

It's no trouble.

Thank you for having me.

Bring in the deceased!

It's kinda cool that the judge is a woman, huh?

A Cleopatra of the Far East.

And Ms. Shikimi is a Cleopatra who understands scales.

You keep calling women Cleopatra. Is that a habit of yours, or is it an Egyptian custom?

But I didn't expect to see a Chief of Staff like her.

Me neither. I thought they were all uptight and strict, like Mr. Hozuki.

You've met Takamura. He's not uptight.

You know, when someone like that works at a bakery or a cake shop,

you feel really relaxed there, you know?

Here! Thank you for waiting!

Yes, I know! She would definitely make you sure you were getting some good bread.

She actually is a very good cook.

All of the recipes at this office's cafeteria were her idea.

Cool! What's her specialty?

Fried chicken and hamburg steak.

Unshakable!

And on top of that, her catch phrase is...

Are you okay? Are you making sure to eat yummy food and sleep in a warm bed?

M-Mama!

She's a Mama to all!

What is such a person doing as a Chief of Staff?

Is she really a demon?

Shh! Keep it down!

I see that you have been quick to anger, and resorted to violence to get your way.

I ain't quick to anger!

It's true. He's already mad.

Apparently you would start yelling if you didn't like a gift someone gave you?

Wow. That's stupid.

I never did anything like that!

Really? You know we Ten Kings are inordinately hard on liars.

Inordinately hard!

If you know it's inordinate, you could just be ordinately hard on us!

And I ain't lying!

Very well.

Then allow me to confirm with the Scales of Karma.

Place the deceased on the scales!

Certainly.

We will now investigate the validity of your claims and measure the weight of your sins!

Wha-!

And here we go!

Hiyaaaaa!

Whoa! He's heavier than the boulders!

So in other words, he is guilty.

Now watch closely!

You are about to see my favorite part, what these offices are famous for!

There, you see?

We knew you were lying! Bad boys who lie get 100 smacks on their tooshies!

Hey! Stop! I'm a grown man! Please! That hurts like hell!

Send him to the next court!

Right away!

She's one tough mama of a Chief of Staff.

I'm not sure which is worse... Egypt or here.

And after this, they have to go to the Enma Offices to face Mr. Hozuki.

That'll cause some serious mental damage.

Mr. Hozuki, I was careless.

About what?

I've been working in Hell for a while now, right?

I've become a dog who knows the ups and downs of Hell, right?

But I still haven't tried the most famous of famous products of Hell! The Hell hot springs!

If I can just manage that, then I will be complete as a dog of Hell!

No, no! Not like this! One of the normal temperature ones!

Hell's Hot Springs

The baths we normally use are Hell hot springs.

Yeah, I mean, I know that.

It can be a public bath, or an inn or whatever.

I just want to experience the authentic, cliched version of a hell hot spring.
