"Yu Yu Hakusho"
In a crowded city, as I bump shoulders, I'm all alone.
On an endless prairie, as the wind whistles by, I'm all alone.
Which one is it that makes me want to cry more, I wonder.
Marking it with twin circles, I feel a bit more grown-up!
It must be, that when I run into these terribly difficult walls,
and unexpectedly, for whatever reason,
The courage and power to break through rises up from within,
All because of how, when I run into these terribly difficult people,
they show me kindness, I bet!
Thank you very much!
Urameshi Yusuke was trying to save a child when he was killed in a traffic accident.
In order to return to life, he must hatch the egg of a Reikai-ju, a Spiritual Realm Beast,
which grows by feeding off of human energy.
However, supposing the egg were to hatch, if Yusuke's actions are wrong,
the Reikai-ju will become a demonic monster and attack Yusuke,
and he will be unable to return to life again!
"Hot Flames! Ties of the Beloved"
You can't be serious! I am not about to be eaten by this slimeball!
In that case, you have a lot more good deeds to do.
Sheesh! People who say things like "I will do what's right" make me wanna barf!
That's so warped! If you keep that attitude,
you'll never be able to return to life, no matter how long it takes!
Really, for him to hand over this thing to me in order to test me,
Koenma is just being a big pain in the mmph--!
Shh! You shouldn't say something so unseemly!
What's wrong with that?
Koenma-sama, you see, has apparently sent an investigator
to see how you're doing, Yusuke!
An investigator? What's that?
She's here!
What!?
Good day!
W- who are you!?
The investigator.
You?
You're the one Koenma-sama sent?
I'm Sayaka.
What kind of investigation is someone like you supposed to conduct!?
That--
--is a secret!
Say, which girl is Yusuke-kun's girlfriend?
H- how do you mean, "girlfriend?"
I mean Keiko-san!
Keiko!? She's just a friend I got stuck growing up together with!
Don't go embellishing things as you see fit!
Down there!
So? Which one?
The girl in the middle!
So that girl is Keiko-chan. A girl as cute as all that, huh? Unbelievable.
What is!?
That Keiko-chan is actually hoping for you to come back to life, Yusuke!
The people around you, see?
Unless they're seriously delighted about you coming back to life,
there's really no meaning for you to do so.
You come here saying all this confusing stuff, and I don't understand it!
Besides which, we don't even know if Keiko there
seriously even wants me to come back to life, do we?
Sure she wants it!
Let me tell you about her!
She's always pulling a face like this, and saying stuff like,
"Come on, Yusuke, be sure to come to school sometime," and so on.
It's possible she just wants me to return to life
just so she can preach to me some more, isn't it!?
Hold on, Yusuke! Don't go boldly asserting things you don't even believe in your heart!
Sayaka-chan, he's just embarrassed is all!
Actually, he likes Keiko-chan an awful lot!
You just shut your hole!!
For what!? Are you saying I'm wrong, Yusuke!?
Well, that didn't clear anything up.
Anyhow, if you'll allow me to investigate this thoroughly...
"This is my youngest son. There are four peoples in my family.
"He is happy with his wife and children."
Oh, wonderful, perfect, Miss Keiko! Very good!
Keiko, please! Would you show me your math homework?
No way! Homework has to be done by yourself.
Keiko, show me how to do this! I can't solve it no matter what!
Which one, where?
Hmm. Excellent grades, proficient at sports, and quite popular. She's the ideal girl!
This could just be one-sided love on Yusuke's part after all, huh?
Now look, you...
Oh, here comes a handsome boy!
Yukimura-kun...
Do you have a moment?
Okay.
Ever since I started school here, I've had my eye on you--
I mean, I've been interested in you. Would you like to go out with me?
I'll be sure you won't regret it!
I'm sorry, no.
But why?
Don't tell me, there's someone else you like?
Yes.
Such youthfulness! Yo, Yusuke, you are so fortunate!
Idiot, don't jump to any conclusions! She didn't say who it was she liked, did she?
Why are you like this, when indeed, you obviously both feel the same way?
Don't decide that for yourself!
From outward appearances,
it appears that Keiko-chan does not necessarily hate Yusuke.
Whoa, what's all this?
Oh dear, Atsuko-san, this is pretty serious, isn't it?
There isn't even anywhere to step here, is there?
"Yoo-hoo, Keiko-chan, I'm going out for a bit. Look after Yusuke, okay?"
Oh, Atsuko-san, of all the...!
Yusuke, you weren't blessed with good parents, huh?
Leave it alone!
This is awful!
Even Yusuke's gotten buried under the garbage!
When someone gets to be this lazy, it has to be criminal! I mean, really!
Yusuke! Are you all right!? Yusuke!
If I don't come by here every day,
something will happen to your body before your mind returns to it, Yusuke!
Aw, your face is all covered with dust!
Keiko-chan has been going to great lengths to watch after your body, Yusuke.
All clean now.
Hey, Keiko! What do you think you're doing with someone who can't fight back!?
This is a great chance to check her behavior! Be quiet!
She can't hear us anyway!
Ahem, this is the neighborhood association!
This is a notice from the neighborhood association!
It has been very dry today, and the situation is one where fires could easily break out!
Further, there have already been successive cases of arson in the area,
and there are two suspected incidents of arson in the 3-chome block currently.
Everyone, please be duly careful.
Nice timing! Way to go, Neighborhood Council!
What in the world was I thinking?
Oh, no!
Oh, Mom asked me to do some shopping for her! I'll clean up after I finish that.
There was a pretty good air about that just now, huh?
Oh, my, even I was starting to turn red there! I envy this guy, I envy him!
What's with that guy?
There's smoke!
Something's burning, huh?
It's an arson!!
Ma, you jerk! Don't you even lock the windows!?
The garbage is catching fire left and right!
This is bad! My body is gonna get burned up!
Hey, get up! You're gonna die! Hey!
Get up! Get up, I tell you! Dammit! This is no use!
I know! If I can get inside...!
That's impossible! Until your egg hatches, you can't!
So, what are we supposed to do!?
We'll have to inform someone! That's it! How about Kuwabara-kun?
Even if we start looking now, there won't be time!
I'm going to go look for him anyway!
Damn! Somebody! Hurry and notice this!
"Kaidan Shopping Center"
There's a fire in the 4-chome block!
There are fires breaking out all over! The firemen won't be able to come!
--This would make it the fifth arson so far! --That's scary!
That's from the direction of Yusuke's home! It couldn't be...!
Why you, Yusuke!
Why did you die!? I wanted to take you on, just one more time!
Kuwabara-kun! There's something terrible!
Hey! Kuwabara!
W- what was that chill just now!?
It's awful! Yusuke's home is on fire! Kuwabara-kun, help us!
I've got something of a rotten inkling about this.
I wonder if he'll make it in time.
I'll be sure to return! Wait for me!
Yusuke!
Keiko-san has come back!
What!?
Let me through! There's someone still inside there!
The flames are spreading too quickly!
Let me go!!
Keiko!
Yusuke!
Stop that, you dumbass!
Come back! Hey! My body doesn't matter any more!
Come back!
But without a body, you cannot return to life!
If she dies, is there any point in me returning to life!?
The fire has covered the front door!
It's too late! That girl is caught in the middle of it!
Yusuke's house...
Kuwabara-san! Keiko-chan is...
Keiko-chan!?
By Keiko, do you mean Yukimura Keiko!?
--T- that's right! --What!?
Yusuke!
Have to get out of here, quick!
Botan! Please, is there any way to save her!?
I don't have any power myself...
There is a way.
There is a means of saving her!
What is it!? What is this means of saving her!?
Yusuke, if you use the energy within the egg you're carrying, something will turn out.
This egg?
Throw it into the fire. However...
However, what!? Come on, Sayaka, tell me quickly!
When you've used up the energy within that egg, it will prove grievous for you.
By any chance, do you mean that once the energy in his egg is used up, Yusuke will...?
That's correct. He will become unable to return to life again!
Unable to return to life again!?
Unable to return to life again...?
Right. Everlasting death.
If I throw this egg, I can't come back to life!
Keiko!!
T- the fire...
Keiko-chan!!
Kuwabara!
They're coming out!
--They got out safely! -It's a miracle!
Thank goodness! Thank goodness she's safe!
The fire engines have finally arrived!
Huh? What have you got wrapped up in there?
U- Ura-... Ura-... Ura-...!
I'll tell you all the details later. Right now, we have to get going!
I- I don't know w- what you've got going on here,
but come on! Come on!
Ah! Why that lousy Kuwabara, holding on to Keiko's hand!
Kuwabara, you rotten...! Don't get so friendly with her!
Yusuke...
It looks as though all the days ahead are going to be hard on you.
You cannot return to life again, after all.
I don't know who it is Keiko-san will come to love,
but for you to have to watch it all the way through... I'm so sorry for you.
That's right. I...
I can never return to...
That's right, isn't it?
"Yurei Manor"
I'm sorry, Keiko-chan, Kuwabara-kun, for all the trouble I've put you through.
Because I was out, Keiko-chan, it even cost you your precious hair.
Not at all! Yusuke's body is unharmed, for one.
Besides which, at the time, I saw something.
In the middle of the blazing fire, the flames parted, and a path was formed.
I'm sure that Yusuke saved me!
I can't believe it even now!
This guy just won't die!
Yusuke! Hurry and come back to life, all well and healthy! Okay?
I've gotta be the most unfortunate guy in the world to have a mother so temperamental!
Hey Ma! About me- I can never come back to life again!!
Poor thing.
It can't be helped! This is the decision he made for himself.
At this point, either Heaven or Hell is fine. Just take me somewhere else!!
Urameshi Yusuke, don't despair like that!
What?
Koenma!
Koenma-sama!
Sayaka, I've received your report.
Yusuke, you seem to be a much better man than I thought.
I decided to investigate whether the people around you
wanted from the bottom of their hearts for you to come back to life.
However, through this incident, I was able to come to know your heart.
For the time being, I'm returning you to life!
If, at that time, you had not thrown the egg into the fire, and looked on as Keiko died,
a monster would have been born and you would have been devoured!
But you threw the egg in without any hesitation.
Urameshi Yusuke, it is possible you may possess gifts that not even I am aware of.
And so, in addition to returning you to life,
I believe I shall ascertain what qualities you have.
What's that!?
Which means, Yusuke will be...?
Koenma-sama!
Until then, I will keep this egg.
Yusuke!
You can return to life!
That's great! That's great, huh!?
Hey, stop clinging to me! This is embarrassing, isn't it!? Cut it out, I say!
The time for me to return to life has finally come! But for that to happen,
I gotta have someone first impart their life energy to me, mouth-to-mouth!
Today is my only chance!
If we don't make it, my next chance won't be for another 50 years!
At a time like this, the only one I can count on has to be Keiko!
Please, Keiko! Sometime today, give my body some life energy!
Next time, "Yusuke's Resurrection! A New Trial"
The Other World's not watching for nothing!
The second hand is sharp again tonight, as it chops up time,
Chi chi chi...
I'll never be able to finish this homework, so I toss it away!
Son of a gun!
It's the dreams that tumble away, oh,
That are the ones I want to go after,
And if I stop, they will get away, oh,
So I can't ease up on them!
It's the dreams that tumble away, oh...!
