"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!
Toguro, the champion from the last tournament,
showed off his overwhelming power to everyone in the stadium.
Elsewhere, Yusuke was unable to fire his Rei-gun,
and Hiei was unable to use his right arm.
Ignoring their shared concerns, the tournament entered its final rounds.
It was decided that Yusuke and company's opponents
would be the mysterious martial arts company, the Dr. Ichigaki Team.
"A Desperate Battle, With A 0.05 Percent Chance Of Winning!"
W- what was that dream all about?
What's the matter, Kuwabara?
Aren't you eating? Your face is pale. Do you have the runs?
I had a nasty dream.
Dream, you say?
Yeah. It was about these three martial artists.
And you were blown to bits by these guys?
You dumbass! Listen to me seriously!
How am I supposed to seriously listen to one of your dreams?
Oh, yeah? I'm never going to talk to you about it again, then!
By the way, where did Kurama and Hiei go off to?
Beats me.
"Beats me?" Then, you don't know!?
No, I don't.
You dumbass! Is this any time to be eating so casually!?
Relax!
You know them. They aren't going to run away on us,
so there must be some other reason.
I guess that's true.
There's nothing to worry about! I'm sure they're coming.
All right! Shall we go?
Who the hell are you?
Nice work on getting past the first round.
That voice! And that stupid pacifier!
Are you Koenma!?
That's right. I take this form when in the Human Realm.
Pretty handsome, huh?
If you didn't have the pacifier, maybe.
Drop it, you moron!
Yo, Kuwabara! I owe you one for always helping Yusuke out.
Well, you know...
Hey, I'm always the one who has to help you out, aren't I?
You're what?
Okay, okay.
So anyway, what have you come here for?
Don't you "what have you come here for" me!
I'm here to lend you my strength as the Urameshi Team owner.
Earlier, I took charge of your egg, right?
My egg?
I'm talking about the Reikaiju beast egg that I lent to you in order for you to come back to life.
Oh!
Don't give me that "oh!"
Here I thought that you might be concerned, and this is what I get!
As I said before, you passed your trial earlier than expected,
and were returned to life.
As a result of that, your egg had not hatched, and was returned to the Spirit Realm.
However, it continued to grow,
as little by little, it received nourishment from your heart.
My conclusion is that your egg will hatch sometime in the next few days!
The Reikaiju that is born should definitely be of help to you.
Yeah! Really? I don't quite get it,
but it was still worth it to be looking forward, hoping it would!
That's what I want to hear.
By the way, Yusuke, just how much did you learn from Master Genkai?
No doubt she taught you all about the ultimate secrets she knows, right?
We continued going over the basics of the Reikohado-ken.
That's what we did.
What?
See ya, Koenma. Enjoy watching us.
Y- yeah, hang in there.
Can they really win without him having learned the ultimate secrets?
Still, it stands to reason that if we expect him to grow in battle,
then maybe this biased tournament is rather ideal for him.
Are you okay, Hiei?
What are you talking about?
You do know that these fights won't be so easy that you can continue winning them with only one hand, right?
That guy with the black glasses said so, didn't he?
That we could not pull out, neither you or I.
It's kill or be killed.
What do they intend to do?
They probably intend to keep us here.
Hey, what the hell is this?
Both sides are missing people!
This is a surprise...
What's wrong?
The dream! The dream I had!
Those guys are all just the way they looked in my dream!
What?
"Mitamura Dojo"
Sensei! Mitamura-sensei!
Please, shake this off!
Enough... It is enough...
Why are you getting discouraged!? Please, take heart!
I- it must be an awfully troublesome disease.
It's my body. I should know.
I regret nothing! After all, I am able to die,
surrounded by such wonderful children.
The hospital fees and cost of the operation are 70 million yen...
far too much money for us to raise on short notice...
Sensei! It pains me! We had no one to look after us,
and yet you raised us like your own sons,
and on top of that, you trained us, both in mind and body.
And now, Sensei, for there to be nothing that we can do for you...!
What are you talking about? Your feelings alone are enough!
You will all be okay, even without me here.
No! We'll heal you, no matter what! Even if it takes my whole body!
Who's there!?
My name is Ichigaki. I can heal that gentleman's disease.
What!?
What's more, I can do it for free.
Is this true!?
However, there is one condition.
Condition!?
That's right.
We'll accept any condition you have, if you can heal our master's disease!
In that case, you, and you,
and you too, would you go along with one of my experiments?
You'll see, it's a very simple experiment.
My dream has become reality.
It is time. Both teams, come forward.
First of all, please choose your manner of fighting.
This is fortuitous. Both sides have three people, huh?
How does this sound? The contest will be decided three-against-three?
We don't mind. And you're going to watch from a distance?
I am, after all, the team's alternate and adviser.
The ones who will be fighting are my adorable experimental materials, the Marmots!
Marmots...
My dream is to create the mightiest of biological weapons!
Fearing nothing, being bound by nothing, and acting at my will,
the perfect killing machines!
These three are experimental models.
I've had enough of your talk!
Well, hear me out to the end. I have great interest in you guys as well.
How about it?
In order to make this match more thrilling, I have a proposal.
A proposal?
If we win, I would like to have your bodies!
What!?
Of course, I don't mind if they're as corpses.
I will construct brains, you see.
And if we win, I'm gonna kill you!
Very well, very well!
Everything is going as according to my scenario simulation!
Without Kurama and Hiei,
the probability of you winning is a mere 2 percent.
I have one other proposal.
This match will be a six-person battle.
In other words, I want to settle this all at once.
What?
Six-person battle? So then, you're saying all of us,
three-on-three, will mix it up together?
Chance of winning 99.95 percent!
Very well! Why don't I accept that proposal!?
I've won! Those guys just dug their own grave!
When my team fights together as three,
their strength is roughly 1020 times what it is individually!
The probability of you winning is a mere 0.05 percent!
Kill him! Kill Urameshi!
Tear him to shreds! Die, Urameshi!
Blather on about whatever you want to!
Now that I think about it,
Mask's proposal was the right thing to do.
With Urameshi not being able to use his Rei-gun, me and Mask can cover for him,
and if we put our money on coming from behind and winning in one shot, we have a chance.
Even so, the more I hear of this, the more it sounds like my dream.
But how could such a thing be happening?
I've seen those three before.
W- what?
They were the favored pupils of a famous martial artist.
They loved their master with all their hearts,
and applied themselves to their training.
They are supposed to be strong in both body and mind.
How tragic.
Then, I was right!
Those three are part of some ridiculous experiment, where they've been brainwashed,
and they are being made to fight, regardless of their own wills!
They've become killing machines!
Kazu has realized it!
Is there something the matter with Kuwabara-kun?
There's some sort of deep-seated hatred overflowing into this match.
It looks as though he has realized this.
Some sort of deep-seated hatred?
Well, I wonder if that has something to do with Yusuke.
It's nothing like that.
It's just that this match will be a bitter fight.
I can hear a heart-wrenching cry of grief calling out from somewhere.
Cry of grief?
I- is that so?
Kazu, take heart and go at them!
If you get carried away by your emotions, you'll lose where you stand!
Both teams, you are ready, right?
Well then, begin!!
Hound Claw!!
I'll take that with my left arm and get him with a kick!
Jump back!
What!?
Oh, my! The Ichigaki Team's sudden attack has hit!
Urameshi and Kuwabara have both been flung away!
W- what was that!?
We were struck by something that I couldn't see!
They moved so quickly that I can't even confirm what they did,
but in any case, that was incredible teamwork by the Dr. Ichigaki Team!
They were lucky to dodge that just now.
This just makes me want them all the more as experimental subjects!
Are you all right?
If we hadn't jumped, we would have been squashed
by that invisible handprint of his!
We have to give you our thanks.
I doubt we have any time for that!
Angel Chakram!!
The Ichigaki Team makes a fierce attack!
The Urameshi Team is on the run!
Once again, the Mark M-2's attack finds its target!
Rei-ken!!
Oh! Contestant Kuwabara narrowly avoids leaving the ring!
However, the Ichigaki Team is not letting up on their attacks!
Kuwabara!
Oh, my! Contestant Urameshi has taken his Rei-gun stance!
My Reiki still hasn't returned!
Contestant Urameshi does not fire his forte Rei-gun!
Could there be something weighing on his mind?
Kuwabara!
If he takes that blow head-on,
then no matter how strong he might be...!
Oh, my! The Masked Warrior scores a nice follow-through!
Contestant Kuwabara's life is spared!
T- thank you!
Listen up! Reiki is something that, if refined,
can be made to be invisible.
So what you're saying is that their invisible attacks are due to the power of Reiki?
That's right!
That's ridiculous! We have spiritual powers too, after all!
Why can't we see them!?
Your spiritual power is still low!
Right now, you guys are unable to see their Reiki.
What?
S- so how are we supposed to fight them!?
That I don't know!
And so, backed into a corner, the Urameshi Team has nowhere left to go!
Damn! If only I could shoot my Rei-gun!
W- what!?
It looks as though I worried too much.
Apparently, he wasn't up to the task of slowing us down.
Would you like to die too?
I'm afraid not. I'm afraid of dying, you see.
This is Yokoju Gatasubaru!
A steel demon that knows neither pain nor fear of death!
It is Dr. Ichigaki's masterpiece!
Gatasubaru! Go, kill them!
My katana is no use!
Its armor is specially treated with negatively charmed water,
to defend against Reiki!
Your blunt katana cannot inflict any injury, let alone cut through it!
Get carried away with yourself, will you?
I'll dispose of you first!
Hiei!
So frail, so frail! In the face of daemodynamics,
you are no more than lumps of flesh!
Don't you toy with me!
Hiei! Stop!
Kurama!
Got him! All right, next comes this one!
What's the matter, Gatasubaru?
Too bad, huh?
I- impossible! What the hell is this!?
He should have at least taught this thing pain.
In both machines and living beings, small injuries can prove fatal.
Using my whip, I broke into its circuits.
It's nice that machines are so given to persuasion.
What are you going to do?
Obey us? Or die?
Dammit!
That's it! I can't watch any more!
Ah! Botan-san!
Damn!
Damn it all!
We cant lose here! What are we supposed to do!?
Great, great!
Yusuke and the others find themselves in an unexpectedly difficult battle!
Will they be able to find a means to turn the tables?
Dr. Ichigaki Team! There's no need for us to be fighting you!
I can tell! You guys aren't fighting under your own will, right?
However, we can't let ourselves be beaten like this, either!
At this point, I'll have to give my life in exchange for them opening their eyes!
Hey, Mask! Urameshi can't fire his Rei-gun!
The rest is up to you!
Next time: "The Identity of Mask?! A Beautiful Warrior"
Show me your hidden power!
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.
