"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!
In order to defeat the Four Holy Beasts,
who plan to invade the Human Tealm, Yusuke,
along with Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama,
has stormed his way into the Demon City.
There, thanks to the handiwork of Kurama,
one of the Four Holy Beasts, Genbu, was defeated.
However, the next of the Four Holy Beasts, Byakko,
has absorbed the Teiki of Kuwabara, whom he faces,
and has shown him overwhelming strength.
"Byakko's Hellish Roar"
What the hell is going on here?
He's gotten a whole size bigger!
What is it with him?
I've got it! Look at Kuwabara-kun's sword!
My sword has gotten smaller.
Looks like you've finally realized
that your Teiki sword is only giving me more power.
But what are you going to do about it?
Throw away the sword and fight bare-handed?
Who do you mean?
Oh, are you sure you want to overdo it like that?
You shut up!
Miserable fool!
He's done it!
No, that's not going to work.
Kuwabara!
You've got quite a bit of Teiki, given that body of yours.
It's sitting just a bit too heavy in my stomach.
I'm not done yet!
Nothing more than a dagger is left of his Teiki sword!
Well, come and get it, you freak cat!
You've got a smart mouth for someone who can't even stand up all the way!
This is good exercise after my meal!
Once I've worked this off, I'll devour your body as well.
With his Teiki sucked out, Kuwabara is all worn out!
He's really gonna get killed like this!
No. There's still one way.
What?
Byakko's frame hasn't grown from its previous state.
If Kuwabara-kun can just catch on to that...
What do you mean?
Even so, I'm not sure he can still do that.
Undoubtedly, it could be difficult for him...
The only way left is indeed a suicidal act.
If he fails, Kuwabara's life will be gone.
Turns out that having Kuwabara face the Four Holy Beasts
was too much for him after all.
However, Koenma-sama, if he can draw in Teiki,
then Yusuke's Tei-gun won't be any match for him either, will it?
Kurama just got done fighting, and has no strength left,
and Hiei has that nature of his, so he won't be cooperative...
W- what's happening!?
I'm going to kill you a little bit at a time!
Dammit...!
Hey, what happened to that spirit you were in earlier?
Have you already lost hope?
Strange... He ate all that Reiki of mine,
yet his body has only spread out sideways... Can it be...?
No, there's no time to be indecisive... That's the only thing I can count on now!
What are you mumbling about? Have you given up,
and started reciting your poem of death or something?
You really will say anything you like, won't you?
Time's up! I'll put you to rest right now!
Now!
I'll take all the Teiki I have...
...and give it to you!
Stop, Kuwabara! Don't give up hope!
Kuwabara!
He's lost his mind. To think that he would give the last of his Teiki
to me before keeling over...
Now then, let's see about softening up this meat to make it easier to eat.
Dammit!
Wait! There's something strange about Byakko.
Just as I thought!
W- what!?
Overeating is bad for you!
Especially when it's the Teiki of an unusual human such as myself!
Kuwabara! Don't scare me like that!
Damn...!
You did it!
The amount of Teiki Kuwabara-kun put out was just a little greater
than the amount Byakko's body could tolerate.
That makes this the worst case of food poisoning in history!
It's nothing to laugh about!
I came really close to dying!
I need to take back in at least some of the Teiki that he discharged...
Kuwabara-kun, are you all right?
Pretty much, once I rest up a bit.
Well, in any case, this puts away two of them, so we've done pretty well!
Sure... that's easy for you to say...
Yusuke, this is Botan in the Human Realm...
Yeah?
B- Botan-chan?
What's the situation there?
Have you gotten through at least three of the Four Holy Beasts yet?
Hey, Botan, what kind of foolishness is that?
These opponents aren't that easy to take care of, you know!
The damage is starting to spread out into the city here!
Right now, anyone who starts getting unruly seems to be immediately subdued,
so it's not that big of an incident yet,
but there's probably a good number of Makaichu bugs
being hosted by those who have shady hearts.
Okay then, be careful!
Yeah. Another one just found me, and is coming after me.
See you later, Yusuke. I'm getting busy here, so good luck!
B- Botan-chan!
She's already hung up! I mean, come on!
Is this something that a person who was nearly dead until a moment ago would do?
Quiet, you.
Well, lets hurry on ahead.
It couldn't be...
No, that's it all right. He's alive.
This is bad! It's collapsing!
To be honest, I'm impressed that you would come at me
at the risk of your own life.
Byakko! Where are you!?
As a show of respect, I will direct you to my room. The room of hell, that is!
Room of hell?
So, what will you do?
Very well, then! I'll go anywhere!
Sure is hot. The temperature around us has suddenly increased.
Damn, where has that gigantic cat gone to?
Let's keep going, in any case.
Yeah...
What is this?
Hey, now...
If you fall in here, you don't stand a chance!
What do you think? Nice view, isn't it?
This is my play room.
That bastard! He's alive and kicking!
He is indeed a monster!
As you can see, beneath us is a sulfuric acid bath
that will dissolve even your bones if you fall in.
So, let's start with whoever has the most guts! Come on down and fight!
You just don't know when to die! I'm gonna finish you off!
Hold up!
I thought I was his opponent.
Kuwabara...
I don't care who it is.
It only changes the order in which you die, after all!
Enough of your condescending mouth!
I'm gonna make it so you can't show up as anything else ever again!
Brace yourself!
Don't overexert yourself, Kuwabara.
You've done well.
By leaving the rest to Yusuke and recovering some of your strength,
you can help fight later.
Don't joke around! A one-on-one fight isn't like baseball!
I'm not about to leave everything up to any ace reliever
and go sit on the bench drinking tea, here!
I can at least wipe my own ass!
Sheesh, what an unreasonable creature!
Well, now that he's said as much, not even a lever could budge him.
He'd make a good match of stubbornness against you.
What's the matter? Lost your nerve?
Shut up, you! I'm coming now, so just hold on, you dimwit!
Kuwabara!
That was close, that was close! I almost died before the fight started!
Kuwabara-kun, should we trade?
Shut up! It was an act! An act!
Damn, man, it sure is hot here...
And now, the fight begins!
This time, I'm gonna put you away for good!
Very well, let me show you my greatest secret technique!
Secret technique?
--What is it? --That technique...!
It couldn't be...
Behold! Meiko shokai-ha!!
"Howling Tiger Shock Wave" Meiko shokai-ha
Meiko shokai-ha, he said?
What kind of ball is this?
With my Pinch-Hit Come-From-Behind Bases-Loaded Home-Run sword technique,
I'll knock it clear out of the park!
Stop! Don't touch that ball!
What?
W- what was that?
Did you see that? That was my Meiko shokai-ha blast,
a super oscillating howl that turns anything it touches to dust!
You bastard...
I had heard that there was a Yokai
that could create spheres within himself that would destroy molecules,
but to think that it could have been Byakko...
He can't even hit it with his Teiki sword?
No. If he touches it, it's all over.
The only thing you can do is run from this technique.
Who would have thought that Byakko was a user of the Meiko shokai-ha technique?
Koenma-sama, isn't there anything you can do?
No! Frankly, not a thing!
All I can do is pray to God and wait for a miracle!
If Koenma-sama is looking to God, then this is hopeless.
Bastard!
There's not a thing you can do!
So long as you don't hit me, you're all mine-
Cut it out, already!
You fool!
Take this!
Kuwabara!
Are you all right!?
You're not too bad, are you?
Dropped your guard? Or is it that you had no time to avoid them?
Didn't you know? I was giving you a handicap.
For someone with as big a mouth as yours,
you're looking awfully undignified.
What do you think you can do in that ragged condition of yours?
Enough of your spouting whatever suits you!
I won't be satisfied until I've pounded you with my own hands,
no matter what!
It seems you haven't fully taken in your situation.
Take a good look around you!
What?
Did you think I was attacking at random?
There is no longer any way for you to retreat.
The only thing you can do now is come at me. However, in order to do that,
you will have to use that foothold. Do you know what that means?
If I destroy that foothold, you won't be able to so much as move from there.
All that will remain is to wait for death.
Too bad, huh? You were one step too slow!
What's the matter? Have you given up?
Or is it that you're too frightened to say anything?
Kuwabara...
Shall we go, Hiei?
We've got no choice, do we?
That's enough, you guys!
This is my fight! Don't go pulling anything I don't need!
If you try helping me out, I'll curse you the rest of my life!
That idiot! Having come to this point, he's still saying that?
Is he saying that he still has some sort of plan?
Hmph, there's no way he could.
Nothing will interfere with us now. So, let's have some fun!
Is that so? In that case, you can have your fun in hell!
I won't be beaten for nothing!
Die!!
He's going to jump!
Kuwabara!
It's hopeless! He can't reach!
What a shame! You only had another five meters!
What?
To think he would use his Teiki sword as a pole...!
Now I'm content!
You're going to hell along with me!
Kuwabara!!
Kuwabara...
This can't be...
Damn it all!
You dumbass!
Nothing will come of you once you're dead, you know!
Hey!
Over here! Over here!
Hurry and pull me up! My wrapping is tearing!
That idiot...!
Hmph, he's a stubborn one.
Hey!
My goodness, he sure scared me.
He did it, huh? Now two of the Four Holy Beasts have been disposed of!
Yeah, but we can't relax our guard now.
I'm counting on you, Yusuke!
Of all the... you really gave us a scare!
We thought you were dead, you know, you dimwit?
I- I thought so too!
Well, now he's cheated death once. Next time he fights,
he can use the same method to defeat another one of them, huh?
Yeah.
You've gotta be kidding!
You think I could ever pull that frightening stunt again!?
It doesn't matter, just hurry and pull me up, already!
But you just said that if we helped you,
you'd curse us the rest of your life, didn't you?
That's right. We can't very well help him out.
Y- you dumbasses! I meant that about earlier, you know!
Well, this means there are two of them left now. Next comes our turn!
Right.
Well, shall we hurry on ahead? Yeah! We have to buy us some souvenirs too...
Hey, just a minute! What about me? This isn't even funny! Come on, help me up!
Kuwabara has narrowly defeated Byakko!
However, the difficulties that await Yusuke and the others
continue on and on...
Dammit! If we don't hurry,
I'm concerned for what will happen in the city!
But every time we defeat one of the Four Holy Beasts,
a stronger one appears!
Everything that is hit by Seiryu's wintry fist gets ice stuck to it!
Hiei's Teiki has changed. He's gotten seriously angry!
Next time: "Hiei Comes Forward to Battle! A Slashing Sword"
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...
