Seeing is Believing

 is the fifth episode of the Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- Rhyme Anima anime. It aired on October 30, 2020.

Plot
Shibuya Division celebrates Halloween but people report involving ghosts seen across the division. Gentaro and Dice notice that Ramuda is afraid of ghosts, although he refuses to admit, saying that ghosts aren't real but Dice disagrees. Gentaro suggests setting things in a bet, if Ramuda wins, Dice will model for his new collection, but if Dice wins, Ramuda will be treating him with food for a week (since he lost all his money in the slot machine). Although accepting the bet, Ramuda is still reluctant on going with it.

While walking through Shibuya streets, they walk onto a costume night at the Colony Club, which scares Ramuda, so they had to leave. While going back, Gentaro tells a scary story that scares Ramuda, and Dice as well, so they run out of the taxi and walk onto the Mahojin livehouse. The interior of the livehouse and its owner Kuroya Sabasu scare all three of them a lot.

Kuroya tells them that the livehouse is going through tough times without the customers and proposes Fling Posse to perform there in exchange for the cut of the earnings. Dice agrees, so as Gentaro, thinking of it as a courage test for Ramuda, while Ramuda himself is reluctant but agrees anyway. Fling Posse organize the performance, inviting their fans to watch them, however, no one comes, apart from Tom, Iris, and T.Rex.

Iris tells them that the customers are afraid of ghosts that they've seen at the livehouse. This is confirmed by Kuroya who tells them that all clubs and livehouses seem to be haunted, apart from the Colony Club. Ramuda finds it suspicious and contacts Buster Bros!!!, so they could find more information about the Colony Club. Ichiro and his brothers inform Fling Posse that the club seems to be involved in a shady business and that they're affiliated with the rap crew Space Colony.

Gentaro comes to the conclusion that they've used their Hypnosis Mics to create the illusions of the ghosts to scare the customers from their rivals and take all the profit. Fling Posse organize a trap for the Space Colony members at the Mahojin where Kuroya records them taking off their ghost disguise. After Space Colony's plans were unveiled, Fling Posse take them down with their rap and the customers return to the livehouse.

With that, Dice loses a bet and models for Ramuda's new collection, however, Gentaro shows them a picture taken from that day which shows a ghost figure standing behind Ramuda...
