"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, having once died, overcame his trial in the Spirit Realm,
and was permitted by Koenma to return to life.
Botan, a messenger from the Spirit Realm, told him of his new mission:
Solve those cases involving malicious spirits in the Human Realm.
Yusuke has been appointed a Reikai Tantei, a Spirit Realm Detective!
"The Three Yokai! Hiei, Kurama, Goki"
"Great Treasure Hall of the Spirit Realm"
Emergency! Emergency! Three burglars are breaking into the Great Treasure Hall of the Spirit Realm!
Stop playing around with that guy, let's get going! There are people coming after us!
The burglars are escaping with three grand treasures of darkness!
Apprehend them before they reach the Human Realm at any cost!
Yusuke! Yusuke! Wake up! Wake up, I say!
What is it, for crying out loud?
You woke up...!
Thank goodness!
Look, haven't I told you I'm fine now?
What's this, it's still 6 o'clock!?
It's just... I was worried you had gone to sleep for good again!
Since I came back to life, Ma's been like this every morning.
Oh well, she arranged to get me back in school.
I can't do nothing but complain about her, right?
Awesome! A good-luck fountain pen with a golden dragon wrapped around it!
It was order-made, there's no other like it in the world!
If Urameshi were still alive, he'd be bugging me to "give it, give it!"
Nah, if he were around, he would surely have already taken it by force.
I suppose that's right!
You seem to be having fun! Let me be one of your friends!
It's been a long time!
I- it's a ghost!!
Treat me like a ghost, will they?
They can't help it, can they?
After all, nobody knows that you've returned to life, Yusuke.
Keiko...
What are you staring at!?
N- nothing.
Dawdle around, and you'll be tardy!
Shut up! I know that!
That's Urameshi!
--It's Urameshi! --Isn't he supposed to be dead?
He's got legs, so he's not a ghost!
You know, they're avoiding me something awful.
They've been avoiding you since way back, haven't they?
Yeesh. I shouldn't have come back to life.
Kuwabara!
I know just how you feel!
I'll send you back down to Hell, right now!
You've got absolutely no luck about you, you know?
Kuwabara-san, weren't you going to thank him for his help with Eikichi?
You be quiet! We've got things to settle between us first!
Some things in my life never do change.
See here!
Don't just stand there in the middle of the path,
get to your classroom right now, Yusuke!
Takenaka! I've had enough of this! I'm gonna skip out today.
Don't talk like you were some child!
Looks as though death really isn't a cure for stupidity. Let's go!
Right!
What was that!?
He's just like a cockroach.
There's absolutely no way I'm going to accept a scumbag like you.
I will be sure to drive you out of this school!
--Where's Urameshi? --Said he had to use the bathroom.
Just re-admitted, and he's already cutting classes, huh?
I think I'll just skip class here.
What do you mean by calling me out here in the middle of the night?
I wanted to get you to cheer up, see, so I brought you a present from Koenma-sama!
"Spiritual Peering Lens" Ta-da! Spirit Realm Detective Item No. 1, the Reito Lens.
With this, you can see through walls, and things that are hidden.
What are you looking at!?
Now listen, let me just say,
I haven't once agreed to go through with this detective business.
Fine with me! I'll just ask Koenma-sama to return you to the Spirit Realm.
You've got a great personality, you know that?
I think so myself!
By the way, using Spirit Realm Items expends that much of your spirit power,
so you'll have to work at handling them one by one!
Yeesh.
Huh? Gone! It's gone!
What's the matter, Takai?
My good luck pen is gone! It was here up until gym class!
Oh? My watch is gone too!
So is my keyholder!
Ah, good nap, good nap...
What is it? What are you looking at!?
Don't tell me you guys suspect Yusuke!?
After all, he was the only one absent from gym.
It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
What's the matter?
What's all the commotion about?
I told you, it wasn't me!
Don't play ignorant!
Iwamoto-kun, do you have any evidence that he took them?
Any way you look at it, no one was around but him!
When he was gone, we didn't have even one theft!
I heard your mother cried rather disgracefully to get you readmitted.
Did you get your disgraceful behavior from her? Eh?
Why you... Say what you like about me...
Hit me! Do it, and you'll be expelled immediately!
How dare you-- how dare you talk about my Ma!
Yusuke!
Koenma!?
A big case just came up! The criminals who stole the three grand treasures of darkness--
--from the Great Treasure Hall of the Spirit Realm have escaped into the Human Realm!
What are you doing here while I'm so occupied with this!?
Don't worry. These guys can't see anything, nor can they hear anything.
I don't have time for that right now!
Fool! That's my line to you!
If those three treasures are misused,
the Human Realm will be in a terribly dangerous situation!
So I'm telling you to start acting like a Spirit Realm Detective, dummy!
That's easy for you to say!
Until I prove I wasn't involved, I can't leave here, you know!
The culprit is this guy in front of you!
Use the Reito Lens you got from Botan to look in his pocket!
I can see them!
Hurry up and get this settled, you fool!
W- what are you doing!?
What in the world is this, now?
I- I don't know anything about this! Y- you! You put it in my pocket, didn't you!?
Some day, I'll expose your misconduct, count on it!
Hold on! I'm not done talking to you!
Wait up, Iwamoto-kun!
That bastard! How dare he!?
There, you've been cleared. Now start your investigation!
No, this isn't over yet! I'm gonna pound him with everything I've got!
Here you've gone and alleviated suspicion! If you hit a teacher, what does that prove?
I haven't gotten any satisfaction!
Well, do it so he doesn't see you.
What are you, stupid? How can I do that?
You've become able to do it!
Try to concentrate your feelings,
Iike you were gathering all the power in your body, into your right index fingertip.
Hey, my fingertip is getting warm...!
Now, take aim and try shooting.
Picture it in your mind, then pull the trigger in your mind.
Really?
Take this, Iwamoto!
What's happened, Iwamoto-kun! Pull yourself together!
--Awesome! --That is the Rei-gun.
Rei-gun?
Humans have a Reiki within their bodies called an "aura."
You concentrated that and shot it out of your fingertip.
It has many times more force than a punch.
But be careful when you use it.
With your Spirit Power as it is now, one shot per day is your limit.
"Blade of Demonic Subjugation" The Koma no Ken, which turns all humans who are cut by it into demons.
"Dark Looking Glass" The Ankokukyo, which releases its magical power on the night of the full moon.
"Starving Ghost Ball" And the Gakidama, which draws in the spirits of mankind,
with a special preference for children's spirits.
These are the three grand treasures of darkness.
If the treasures fall into the hands of an ordinary human,
or a "Yokai" specter possessing a human misuses them, it will be awful!
In any case, you're the only one who can act in the Human Realm.
You have to get all three treasures back from the Yokai thieves as soon as possible!
Well, guess I've got no choice, huh?
I've gone to the trouble of returning to life.
I oughtta do a little something for the rest of the world, right?
I'm counting on you, Yusuke!
But how am I supposed to look for these criminals among so many people?
I quit, I quit! There's no way I can find them with all these people here!
What's this? I feel something strange about someone...
Hey! This child just suddenly collapsed!
Sure he's not just anemic?
Say, what's wrong?
--Is he okay? --What's wrong?
It draws in the spirits of mankind, with a special preference for children's spirits.
Looks like I'll find them sooner than I thought!
Which one of them has that kid's spirit?
T- those horns!
That's...
The Gakidama!
He's the one!
Hey, bro, lend me some money!
Hold on, I don't have time for this now!
Aw, don't say that...!
I told you, I don't have time for this!
Outta my way!
Damn!
Koenma-sama, information on those three has just arrived.
Get started immediately.
Right.
Kurama. No previous offenses. Pops up everywhere and has many faces.
Hiei. No previous offenses either. Identity uncertain.
Ruthless, the kind that will use any means to achieve his purpose.
Goki. 12 previous convictions.
A spirit-devouring ogre that possesses monstrous strength.
He's already killed over a dozen men sent after him. That is all.
Just as I feared, it's these guys, huh?
What is it you think you're doing!?
Sure enough, here you come.
All three of them have incredible spiritual power!
With Yusuke's current power, it's a certainty he will be done in!
Are you trying to kill Yusuke!?
For my part, I intended to hand Yusuke smaller cases to handle first,
and watch over him as his spiritual power grew!
But as far as this case goes, there isn't any time!
You say there's no time,
but you could have at least set aside a little for training first, right?
What kind of training could he get in one week?
One week!? He only has one week to solve this case!? Why?
In one week... Pop comes back from his business trip!
K- King Yama the Great?
If Pop comes back and finds out that three treasures have been stolen...!
You mean, we're going to get horribly chewed-out?
That's not the half of it!
If Pop gets angry, even the Human Realm will suffer the effects!
How awful!
If there's an earthquake, it will be the same class as the Great Kanto Earthquake!
It's possible that even Mount Fuji could explode!
And so, in one week, for the sake of the Human Realm as well,
we have to get Yusuke to recover the three treasures, even if it kills him!
Knowing Yusuke, he might just have enough dormant power to do it!
Understood! I, Botan, will rush back down and inform Yusuke!
It's up to you, Yusuke!
Dammit, where did that punk go!?
Feels great, doesn't it?
The Koma no Ken, which turns every human it cuts into a demon!
What do you think?
With this, I can create a thousand beasts like that! The kind that eat people!
That's great, Hiei! And I, Goki-sama, will see to feeding them. With this Gakidama!
Then, on the night of the full moon, once we use Kurama's Ankokukyo,
the Human Realm will be in our grasp!
I'm sorry, but you'll have to let me back out..
What!?
What's this about, Kurama!?
You're not telling us you're quitting our gang here, are you?
That's right.
You coward! While you were concealing yourself,
it seems you fell right in to your Human Realm way of life, haven't you!?
We're not obliged to split up the treasure equally with that kind of a punk!
Now, give back that mirror!
I can't do that. I absolutely need this.
In that case... I'll take it back by force!!
Hold on a second!
I wonder if you'd allow me to get out of the rain for a bit.
I'll have to have you hand over the three treasures.
You can bicker amongst yourselves all you want afterward there, thief-san.
How is it you know about us and the treasures!?
Who the hell are you!?
I've been waiting to use this line! Won't you be surprised!
Spirit Realm Detective Urameshi Yusuke-sama!
Spirit Realm Detective?
He was chosen by the Spirit Realm to come after us!
I don't feel any spiritual power from him, considering who he is.
I could take this guy down in one blow!
Hey! What's going on!?
Sorry, but I cannot be captured just yet.
Hold it, Kurama! We're not done talking to you either!
Hey, come on! Here someone's gone to the trouble of dropping in on you...!
They aren't very polite.
Don't be disappointed. I've got better manners than them.
If you want my treasure, you're free to try to take it away from me by force!
You've got guts! Don't go pulling any scared faces, now!
However, you'll have to wait until I've had my fill.
The Gakidama!
This ball is quite convenient. It draws in human spirits for me.
The body is foul-tasting, and inedible, see?
If you don't finish quickly, there's a big fuss, and it gets to be a pain.
On that point, the Gakidama settles things simply.
It allows me to eat all the fresh spirits I ever want to!
Is that the spirit of the child who just collapsed!?
It's been so long...
Why you! Spit that out!!
You bastard!
He's not as tough as he looks.
Looks like the spirit is safely returning to that child.
Two more to go, then?
You do pretty well for a human.
Don't overdo it! I clobbered you pretty hard! It should be all you can do to stand up!
"Soul-sucking Ogre"
Soul-sucking Ogre: An ogre who likes nothing better than the spirits of humans.
An ogre who, in order to extract spirits, rips apart the bodies of the humans he kills.
You gotta be kidding!
How come I gotta fight this monster? Koenma, you rat!
You run away quickly, huh?
That's right! If I use the Rei-gun...
No good, it won't glow!
Once per day is your limit.
Oh, yeah! I've already used it today!
Do you know what the most flavorful spices you can add to spirits are?
They are pain and terror!
I'm really gonna get killed here!
The Ankokukyo, a mirror that grants any wish.
Carrying it, Kurama appears before me!
I'm told he's a wanted suspect from the Spirit Realm,
but I don't think he's all that bad a person.
He seems to have some kind of secret about him.
All right! This is where I come in!
Next time, "Kurama's Secret! The Ties Between Mother And Son"
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...!
