"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!
Having received instructions to take back
the three grand treasures of darkness that have been stolen,
Yusuke went after the three Yokai thieves. First, he recovered the Gakidama from Goki.
Next, he helped Kurama, who was about to throw his life away
to save his ailing mother, and came by the Ankokukyo.
Only one thing remains-- the Koma no Ken, held by the third Yokai, Hiei!
"Keiko In Peril! Hiei, The Jagan Master"
Goki failed in his final move...
Kurama was overcome by petty emotions...
This is why I can't rely on inferior Yokai.
However, with this, the Koma no Ken,
I am certain to take back the Gakidama and the Ankokukyo!
"Blade of Demonic Subjugation" Koma no Ken: A devilish weapon, said to be made from enchanted, toxic stone.
Any human cut by its blade--
--will have poison spread throughout their body, and they will become a ghastly Yokai.
If I can just gather all three treasures, I, Hiei,
will control the Spiritual Realm at my whim!
But before I do that, I will kill Urameshi Yusuke, who stands in my way!
Both the cut on my face and the pain of it, which I got from Goki,
have completely disappeared in four days!
Your spiritualistic remedy stuff is awesome, Botan!
From my experience, it should have taken half the month before it healed!
As an assistant,
it's my duty to have knowledge of spiritualistic treatments, after all.
So that's it, huh?
That's fine and all, but what's up with that uniform?
You're not a student of ours here, you know!
I figured when we spoke at school, if I wore regular clothes,
I would stand out. I look pretty good in it, don't you think?
You're not a very shrewd one.
Ah, that's right!
What?
About Kurama-- under the circumstances, he may have some breathing room.
He's reformed himself and all, and his whereabouts are clear enough.
Really? Well, all that's left is to take back the last treasure in the next three days.
Who was he again, this last guy?
Hiei. This guy is crafty!
I hear he's really cruel, and will use any means to get whatever he wants.
Ah, you're here, all right! Takenaka-sensei is furious!
You're the only one who still hasn't turned in your homework text!
Leave me alone! I didn't have time to bother with that!
Doing double-duty as a detective sure is hard, huh?
Hey, now...!
It's okay, isn't it?
It's a pleasure, Keiko-chan!
It must have been pretty hard on you, huh? When Yusuke was asleep, I mean.
I never thought I would be able to talk to you this way!
Eh? Um...
When we get a chance, let's sit down over tea or something and talk all about when--
What did you do that for!?
Keiko doesn't know a thing about you, you know! Don't get things mixed up, you nitwit!
You're right!
Now that you mention it, you're right!
It would be a mistake to talk about all that complicated stuff!
Bye, Yusuke. See you later, okay?
See you later?
That idiot! She's made things unnecessarily complicated!
So, who was that girl?
Huh? Nah, if I told you, it'd make an awful long story. Let's not do it right now.
Really?
Well, fine then. At any rate, go to Takenaka-sensei's office right away, okay?
Hold on! You aren't really convinced, are you?
About what?
About what? About Botan!
Oh? Her name is Botan-san, is it?
If I could explain, you'll understand completely!
That's okay, I don't mind.
Hey!
Hey, wait!
--I'm in a hurry. --How can you...!?
Yukimura Keiko.
She is a classmate of Urameshi Yusuke, and his friend since childhood.
She's the one of the humans closest to him.
Is that so? I could have a lot of fun using this girl.
If I told you, it'd make an awful long story.
Fine, I don't have to listen to him. Not if he doesn't want to talk about it.
Yukimura Keiko, isn't it?
A reading! Within 5 kilos of here!?
Sorry, Take-sen! Something just came up!
See here, Yusuke! We're right in the middle of this! Of all the...!
Botan! There's something strange! I just got a reading within 5 kilos!
The enemy is letting us know he's here!
He's got quite a bit of spiritual energy, this Hiei guy!
So that's it!
He told me something terrible as well, through telepathy!
He said he has kidnapped Keiko-chan,
and is keeping her in exchange for the other two treasures!
What did you say!?
Come on out, Hiei! And bring out Keiko!
What's this?
Who the hell are you!?
They aren't Yokai! They're regular humans that are being controlled!
What!?
If Hiei can control this many people at one time, he indeed possesses the Jagan.
--Jagan? --She's right!
That you should be able to recognize the power of the Jagan at first glance--
It appears these marionettes here are beneath you!
What is that?
That is a third eye, called a Jagan, or "Evil Eye."
You are able to remain normal, even after looking into my eye, huh?
You appear to be every bit the person chosen by the Spiritual Realm.
But how about this, now?
Keiko!
So then, how about I get you to return Keiko?
You brought the treasures, right?
Good. If you don't follow the rules, the game becomes dull, after all.
Keiko!
It's the Gakidama and Ankokukyo, all right!
The schedule might have been thrown off somewhat, but in the end,
all three treasures are still mine.
Now that I have these in hand, I can rule over the Spiritual Realm!
It's too early for you to celebrate just yet!
You're a bigger fool than I thought!
Now that Keiko is back safely, I have the upper hand!
Oh? Okay, what do you plan on doing?
I'm gonna catch you and take back the treasures, of course!
Huh? He disappeared!
Disappeared, you say? All I did was slowly avoid you. Just like this!
Were you trying to take me by surprise just now?
You were so very slow, it surprises me!
What speed!
It's you who's the fool!
What!?
Did you think I would return the girl without doing anything to her?
Look at the girl's forehead! There's something interesting there!
What's that!?
What's this wound!?
This... isn't a wound! It's an eye!
I certainly returned her body to you. However, that girl's fate rests in my hands!
Her fate as one of my subordinates, that is!
If that eye opens all the way, she will become a complete Yokai!
Watch out!
I'll keep this under control somehow! While I do, you hurry and take care of him!
To think you would have someone with you that could subdue my spectral powers!
You've got quite the partner to count on, don't you? However,
without utilizing the secret remedy,
using that technique must place quite a strain on her.
If she keeps it up, it will cost her her own life!
What!?
I- It's just as he says!
I can't continue doing this very long!
Botan...
You'll pay for this!
This is starting to get fun, huh?
Shall we play a little game of Keep-away now?
What!?
There is an antidote inside the hilt of this sword.
The only way to help the girl is to give it to her!
If you want it, try to come take it away from me!
I doubt you can do it, even given a hundred years!
To think that he could gain entry so close to me in that instant!
It's like he's a different person than before! What the hell did you do!?
You won't get away with this! I'm gonna take you apart!
I see. When one of your friends is in danger, you exhibit a power greater than your own!
You appear to be the most troublesome-- my most hated type of human!
I was quite honestly surprised by that attack just now.
However, not being able to take back this sword during that attack
will prove fatal for you!
I will not drop my guard again!
Your chance of getting the antidote in this hilt has disappeared!
There is no way you can prevent the girl from becoming a Yokai!
Are you done blathering now?
Don't you mock me!
Can you follow me at this speed!?
You probably can't even pick up on my afterimages!
What's the matter!? You're helpless, aren't you!?
I've got you!
What?!
Why, you...!
Is skittering around all you can do!? If your eye doesn't have any effect on someone,
you're nothing more than a cockroach!
I don't have time to waste. I'm gonna finish you quickly!
If you had told me that I would have to transform myself
against a human opponent...
Incredible spectral energy!
Any more, and I cannot keep it under control with my spiritual powers!
But I have to do what I can!
If this keeps up, and Keiko-chan's third eye opens, she'll become a Yokai!
That light... Don't tell me...!
It seems to be growing in correlation to my spectral power doubling!
What!?
The girl's metamorphosis into a Yokai is now only a matter of time!
What's that!?
Hey, there's no need to worry.
Not since you're going to vanish from this world before then!
I can't... move!
Incredible spectral energy! Hiei must have finally shown his true self!
What is this! It's as if I'm all tied up! I can't move!
Not even you seem to be able to escape the effects of the spell from this many Jagans!
Do you understand now how great a difference there is in our abilities!?
Damn...
You know, you did well for a human.
As tribute, I will kill you and get it over with!
Dammit! If only I could move freely!
DIE!!
Kurama!
You! What do you think you're doing!?
Dammit! My eyes! I can't see!
The spell has been broken!
The Jagans throughout Hiei's body are what you could call amplifiers.
The only one exerting any power is the eye in his forehead!
Kurama!
Relax. Let me repay you for what you did recently.
You fool! Don't move!
I'm still something of a Yokai. I won't die so easily.
Leave your girl to me. You defeat Hiei before his Jagan recovers!
Kurama!
Kurama, you traitor!
You'll pay for that!!
You will fight me!
U- unbelievable! For a little while now,
every time he escapes from danger, his spiritual powers rise!
So dangerous! You lead a terrifyingly dangerous existence!
I'm winning! Right now, my power is still greater!
Damn it all!
What's this!?
You're so miserable! Do you think you can escape from me now?
That's pretty optimistic of you!
A little farther...!
Die!!
Now!
It is you... who's gonna die!
What!?
Rei-gun!!
You are one thoroughly surprising fellow!
To think that you still had such an ace up your sleeve!
WHAT!?
I did it!
Who the hell did that!?
It's...
The Ankokukyo!
You reflected it!? You even figured on me dodging you!?
I wasn't hobbling along for nothing!
What kind of guy are you...?
The eye in her forehead is disappearing!
She'll be okay now!
Thank goodness!
Kurama, I owe you one. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. He missed anything that was vital.
But you know, that wasn't very kind of you!
What's that?
When did you learn that the Rei-gun could be reflected in a mirror?
I first found out a moment ago!
He was really quick, you know?
I figured that I couldn't hit him with it, except from behind!
The Ankokukyo just happened to fall out and face my way.
S- so then you...!
Yep! I figured that if I were lucky,
it would reflect back the way light does, wouldn't it!?
Indeed! You are so haphazard about everything!
If the Rei-gun hadn't reflected back, what did you intend to do then!?
I would've thought about that when it happened!
You seem to think things through, when you really aren't thinking at all!
That sure is just like you!
What was that, Kurama!? What do you mean by that!?
Just exactly what I said!
What!?
Now, now...
Goki and Hiei are under arrest, and all three treasures have been returned!
Koenma must also be pleased about not being found out by his pop.
Well, about that-- the sword is rusting from the blood,
and the mirror was broken by the Rei-gun,
so Yama-sama found out they were stolen after all!
So did Koenma get some kind of really harsh punishment?
The treasures have been returned for now,
so Koenma-sama got off with a light penalty.
A light penalty, you say?
A hundred spankings!
A hundred spankings!?
Ow!... Ow!... Ow!... Ow!...
I'm sorry!... I'm sorry!... I'm sorry!... I'm sorry!...
No matter how many hundred years you live, a brat is still, after all, a brat!
Enough, Yusuke, you are so bad!
Bad timing...
Oh, no! I haven't explained anything about what's going on to her!
Forgive me for intruding!
Hey! Hold up, Keiko! I'll explain everything! Hey!
Keiko!
This could be the biggest problem Yusuke has!
Yusuke, you've got new orders!
Master Genkai, an expert in the Reihado technique that even Yokai fear,
is holding a contest to select whom she will pass down her secret knowledge to!
And so, you have to enter the tournament and last through to the end!
But be careful! It seems there is a terrible Yokai mixed in with this bunch!
Next time, "The Successor to Genkai Tournament Begins"
The Other World isn't 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...!
