List of Shiki episodes

The story is about a small town in rural Japan named Sotoba, where a series of bizarre deaths occur.

The series of deaths coincide with the arrival of the Kirishiki family, who has just moved into a castle built on the outskirts of town.

Toshio Ozaki, director of the only hospital in Sotoba, begins to investigate and discovers there are supernatural presences at work, namely vampires, who are called shiki, translated in English as "corpse demon".

[2] Each episode title is a homophone pronunciation for the Japanese numerals using On'yomi, with each phrase mostly related to death or the corruption of the physical body, both common themes in the series.

The remaining villagers have little time to escape the fire and quickly hide the dead bodies inside a deep pit, so that they won't be found by the people coming to help from the town nearby.
