"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!
At the greatest combat sport competition in all of history,
the Dark Tournament, during the first round...
Kuwabara fought against Tinku in the first match,
and when it was over, he had unfortunately lost.
But in the second match, Kurama, controlling plants with his Teiki,
presented himself at his best!
Defeating Toto, who used dirty tricks,
the score became even at 1 and 1.
The fierce battle has now advanced to the middle of the round.
The Unfinished Secret Technique- Ensatsu Kokuryu-ha
Third challengers, come forward!
What's the matter, Rokuyukai!? Hurry up and come forward!
Have you gotten scared, all shook up?
And you still call yourselves Yokai!?
It can't be! For one of my members to lose...
Third challenger, come forward!
Hey, hey, what's going on? Hurry it up!
Third challenger, come forward!
Come on! Hurry up and come out, would you?
It's Zeru!
Zeru is already coming forward!
Zeru! Then, he isn't their captain?
So then, the last two are even stronger!?
No.
There's no mistake, he's the strongest among them.
But knowing that ridiculous bunch,
they probably chose their order however they saw fit.
I'm getting hungry...
How long are you going to sleep!? I mean, really!
Urameshi Team! Send your third challenger forward!
I'll go. He made quite the fools of us yesterday, after all.
Rokuyukai Team, Zeru!
Urameshi Team, Hiei!
No matter who comes out, you're gonna be easy prey for Zeru!
With that awesome Yoki he showed earlier, he's invincible!
Your Yoki of fire... You're a user of flame techniques?
Tomorrow, you will meet the same fate as that cup.
What?
I saw the cut you made in the cup you broke!
It looked as though you had cut it with a sharp blade,
but the edges were slightly melted. Your technique is pretty rough, huh?
So what about it?
I don't recall how it's any business of some rat-reeking Jagan master.
Begin!!
What's that look on your mug for!?
I'm going to turn you to charcoal dust!
Ah! Hiei has skillfully avoided Contestant Zeru's spectral fireball!
Incredible, huh?
No sooner are we underway than Contestant Zeru launches a staggering attack!
Hiei is completely on the defensive!
How was that? You must be speechless.
A rat like you couldn't put together this kind of Yoki your whole life!
Enough talk! Come on!
I'm done playing around!
What the hell is this?
What's this!?
Contestant Zeru's skin color is changing!
He's red! Red, as if he were aflame!
W- what's this!?
Now, I'll finish you off!
Incredible! Contestant Zeru is incredible on a whole different level!
He was beaten as easily as that!?
Before such force, a hush falls upon the spectators...
H- has he lost?
If only losing was all he was doing...
It's not likely that Hiei will ever rise again.
This is the real power of my team!
How dull! He was no match for me.
This contest has been decided all at once!
The match goes to the Roku-!
Your skill is fine!
So much so that it would be a shame to kill you.
T- the match is not over yet!
Hiei is demonstrating astonishing staying power!
Your Yoki can withstand my spectral flames?
T- that's impossible!
You ran out of luck when you came up against me.
Rejoice! You are the very first victim of the Jao ensatsu-ken here in the human realm!
Jao ensatsu-ken? Don't tell me he means that one phantom technique!
Is he really going to perform that technique!?
What kind of technique is it?
I remember vaguely hearing about it from Yama the Great.
But there hasn't been a single person who has mastered it!
B- black flames!
You mean you've called up the flames of the Demon Realm!?
The rules are that I just have to defeat you.
However, right now, I cannot completely control this myself.
Sorry, but I cannot hold back with this.
If I were able to, I would have liked to let you get through this without killing you.
Using my right arm alone will be plenty.
Do you see the delicate difference now,
between how you just play with fire, and a truly demon-laden flame technique!?
Do not look down on the power of the Jagan!
T- this is too dangerous!
Although I am reluctant to do so as your commentator,
I am going to take refuge momentarily!
Take this!!
Ensatsu kokuryu-ha!!
"Immolating Black Dragon Wave" Ensatsu kokuryu-ha
Instantly, to be sure...
Contestant Zeru is...
T- the wall!
I- I don't believe it!
So then, the count...
I burned up everything there was.
The only thing left of him in this world is that silhouette.
W- which means, there's no use taking a count, right?
The winner is Hiei!
D- don't tell me they got even Zeru!
Incredible! That was so incredible,
I didn't even notice what flavor my fried squid was!
Go buy me another one.
That's what you get! That's a load off! Now it's 2 to 1!
Or that's what I'd like to say, but that's not the way I feel!
It wouldn't be strange if Hiei were to turn against us at any time!
On top of that, he's got that awesome technique!
Don't worry.
Until this tournament ends, I'm staying on this side.
And my Jao ensatsu-ken isn't perfected anyhow.
For even Zeru...
...to be killed so easily!
Y- you've got to be kidding! I'm pulling out of here!
I just came because they said I could enjoy myself with some easy kills!
Hey! Are you guys running away!?
Chu
It's so bright!
Chu!
Playing around is fun because it's so dangerous!
You guys are such wet blankets!
Ups-a-drinkie!
Well, now, let's start enjoying plenty of fun play-time for ourselves, yeah!?
What's with him? He's drunk, isn't he?
Hey there, play-by-play sweetheart! Come on over here a minute!
M- me?
What are you doing!? Get over here, quick!
R- right...
W- what can I do for you?
There was an unforeseen accident, and those two died, right?
Yeah...
In this situation, what do the rules say?
There can only be one substitution,
no matter how many of your friends died.
C- consequently, we can only let those who are left afterward fight.
You're sure about that?
I, Koto, the walking rulebook, said so! There is no mistake!
Oh, ni~ice!!
Then, that means that I can take on both the remaining two on that team, yeah?
Hey, what are you doing there!?
Thank you, swe~etie!
Ugh, what a rummy!
Huh? This time an odd fellow has come forward.
That's why he's the substitute, right?
Substitute, huh?
Why? I have a bad feeling about this.
His Yoki is far smaller than Zeru's was, but I have a strange uneasiness...
Kuwa-chan, what are you talking about?
He's just a drunken replacement is all!
You sure?
Kuwabara's hunch may be right. He is more disquieting than Zeru.
When he killed those two, I didn't sense any bloodlust at all.
Now that he- now that Chu has come forward,
that's all she wrote for Urameshi and the others!
Hey! Let's hurry and get this started!
If you're too scared to fight me alone, you can both come at me together!
Hey, who's going to go? Hiei's already gone,
Kurama's already gone.... I'm long since finished...
Hurry up!!
Make it quick, he's saying...
Hey, sweetheart!
Y- yes?
W- what can I do for you?
You can stop interpreting for me and bring someone out here, fast!
R- right!
I want to hurry up and win, so I can go drink myself to death!
Urameshi Team, send your sub-captain forward!
Urameshi is still asleep and all... which means, him?
Ifyou don't come forward soon, it will be considered a forfeit!
Just a second, now! At this point,
no matter how stubborn he is, I'm slapping Urameshi awake!
Hey, Urameshi! Wake up, already-!
Huh? Urameshi's gone!
Urameshi! When did he-?
Yusuke!
That's one terrible stench of sake! My eyes are wide open now.
Yusuke, who didn't even wake up at Zeru's Yoki, has now woken up?
Ladies and gentlemen! I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long!
At last, Urameshi Yusuke-sama makes his appearance!
That bastard finally woke up!
Yusuke-kun! Kill him good!
Cut it out, Yusuke! You've been asleep until just now!
Nah, my body is aching, there's nothing I can do about it.
I have to do some light exercise now that I'm up.
Light, you say?
The last nightmare of your life starts now!
Kill him!
Kill him... Kill him... Kill him...
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
Shall we have ourselves a good long look at what kind of training Urameshi underwent?
Kill him... Kill him... Kill him...
S- such tremendous blood thirst!
On top of that, we don't know anything about his opponent's Yoki...
Hmph! They're just scum, shouting from a distance.
To him, it's like water off a duck's back. He doesn't feel it at all.
Yeah, he's all right, huh?
Given the mood, it's like we've essentially won everything easily, isn't it?
But you lost!
Now, now, Botan-chan! Such harsh words!
Easily, he says?
No, that's not so.
Zeru's strength was genuine.
That's exactly why Hiei had to unleash his incomplete finishing move!
Rejoice! You are the very first victim of the Jao ensatsu-ken here in the human realm!
For Hiei's body to call up Jao flames from the Demon Tealm
capable of burning up a flame-user such as Zeru,
it could not get by unharmed.
Using my right arm alone will be plenty.
He sacrificed his right arm.
I'll bet he can't use his right arm any more.
And now...
...completely different from Zeru's Yoki,
there's something about Chu's unusual Yoki, just what, I'm not sure,
that stirs up nothing but uneasiness.
You'll have to pay special attention to him, Yusuke!
You said something about light exercise, yeah?
Sweetheart, I need to borrow this.
W- when did you-?
Uhh... Before we fight, I'm going to tell you one thing!
The only thing I'm bad at is playing Rock-Paper-Scissors!
I'm good at fighting! Really good!
What is he talking about?
If you would allow me to explain that last comment...
There was an episode where the Rokuyukai members determine their order and their alternate
by playing Rock-Paper-Scissors,
and so, he is the alternate in name only, and as far as ability goes,
he is saying he is the Rokuyukai's Number One!
That's right!!
That is all. This has been your commentator, Koto.
How is it that girl knows that much?
Chu, you bastard! You've drunk yourself sick again, huh?
I can't stand to watch!
How's that!? Are you surprised!? I'm strong!
I know, I know! I can tell quite well that you're strong,
so let's get going right away!
I'm tired of this waiting around!
Ah! Why, you-! You don't believe how strong I am, do you!?
Hey, hey...
You really are nothing but an alternate!
Who was that!? Who was that!? Who just said I was just an alternate!?
Was it you!?
N- no, it wasn't me!
That girlie just said so, didn't she?
I'm only weak at playing Rock-Paper-Scissors!
During Rock-Paper-Scissors, you know, I meant to put forward Paper!
But my fingers put forward Scissors all on their own!
It happens, you know! That sort of thing!
It happens...
--Thank you! --Ah! My sake!
Hey, my urge to fight is going away...
It's no fun to win against someone who has his guard down.
Now listen, I'm telling you now, my technique is Sui-ken!
The more I drink, the stronger I get!
Now remember this!
It's a technique that outfoxes the opponent with its irregular movements,
unexpectedly catching them off their guard.
Got that? Don't come at me if you're messing around!
I don't know what to say!
He's going to all the trouble of explaining his technique!
He's not using eels for brains, is he?
He's hopeless!
You're quite the straightforward one.
However, just using Sui-ken is no skill in itself.
You've got some secret reserve technique that only you can do, right?
If not, this won't be any fun, huh?
Nice eyes. I haven't seen eyes like yours in a long time.
This looks like it's going to be quite enjoyable!
That movement!
He's no ordinary man!
The fruits of the special training taken on under Master Genkai
will be put to the test in Yusuke's first battle.
What kind of fight will the drunken Chu,
with his mysterious Yoki, challenge him to?
And just what sort of secret technique does Chu possess?
Chu and his Sui-ken, huh? He's pretty good, isn't he?
With his flowing movements,
and the great techniques he displays, one after the other!
On top of that, his eyes look full of life when he fights!
I like you, Chu! I think I'll have some fun with this as well!
Next time: "The Drunken Warrior! Chu's Sui-ken"
The Other World's not watching for nothing!
As my heart is about to burst,
the mild wind that blows against us is gentle.
Facing each other, hand in hand,
the usual twilight envelops us, and melts away.
Isn't it funny? They're not even the slightest bit alike,
your smiling face, and mine. But right now,
it feels like I'm looking in a mirror.
I am not feeling sad; everything is fine, after all.
There, hiding within an offhanded greeting, lies a "thank you. "
Sayonara, bye bye, take care of yourself,
this is the line I'm drawing between us,
so catch it, if you would.
Sayonara, bye bye, take care of yourself.
