Plot Synopsis
Hellboy returns to Japan to help exorcise a haunted toy warehouse. Upon entering the warehouse Hellboy discovers it to be haunted by the ghosts of three children. The ghosts dispatch apparitions of their favorite toys to do battle with Hellboy: a Gundam, Godzilla and a Sailor Soldier. Hellboy beats the giant, ghostly toys only to learn that the children cannot move on until they win. So he proceeds to intentionally lose to all three of them in Rock-Paper-Scissors, thus allowing them to pass on.
