"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 an elimination round against the Mashotsukai Team,
the Urameshi Team has the handicap of not having Kuwabara, Hiei,
or the Masked Warrior participate.
Kurama fought desperately to defeat the first challenger, Gama,
and the second challenger, Toya.
However, by this time, Kurama had also become heavily injured,
Ieaving Yusuke all alone.
First, he defeated the middle challenger, Bakken, all at once!
And now, he must face a mighty opponent in the wind-tamer, Jin!
Jin, the Wind-tamer! A Stormy Air Battle
Such a nice island.
I'm goin' to make sure I get this island!
Why, you! Get the hell down here!
I will, to knock you flat!
Come on!
Contestant Jin comes rushing in a vertical descent!
Oh, my! Incredibly, he turned in mid-air!
Contestant Jin, the Wind-tamer,
Iands the first attack using his amazing aerial technique!
That guy tried to get in a knee-kick while he was off-balance!
That was an awesome punch!
Looks like I'm going to fully enjoy this!
After trying to attack from an overwhelmingly off-balance position,
Contestant Urameshi has taken considerable damage,
but has gotten back up!
For you to try to strike back even as you were bein' hit, you're one crafty guy!
Look at this! My ears are stickin' up this much, I'm so happy!
Your punch landed pretty hard, too.
I'm gonna have to hike up my shorts again!
What's that all about? Yusuke is smiling!
He must have come to like that Jin guy an awful lot.
Urameshi is the type where the stronger his opponent is,
the more fired up he gets, you know? It's a sort of perversion.
There, look at him! Look at that happy face!
I just don't get it!
Oh, are you in pain? Are you okay?
Yeah... so long as I can sit still for a little while...
Jin, the Wind-tamer, huh? He seems pretty tough!
We'll have to gird up our loins against him...
Still, he's not being fair!
With him flying around in the air, there's no way to catch him!
That's certainly true.
However, he's flying under the control of his own spectral power,
so it's not against the rules.
Even so, between the air and the ground, Yusuke is clearly at a disadvantage!
What can he do?
You've got a point...
It's still a little bit early to be commendin' me after just that!
A- amazingly, Contestant Jin has created a tornado with his own arm!
Shura sempu-ken!!
Shura sempu-ken "Asura Whirlwind Fist"
That tornado has a lot more force to it than meets the eye.
Here goes!
It just grazed me, and still I went flying!
What would've happened if I'd taken it full-on!?
Will Contestant Urameshi crash into the fence!?
Oh, my! He skillfully managed to land and avoid crashing!
B- but Contestant Jin is chasing after him!
W- what incredible destructive force!
Contestant Jin has smashed a portion of the fence to pieces!
That was an awesome punch!
--W- what!? --'Ulp!
Incredible!
Damn! If he had taken that whirlwind fist head-on,
then no matter how tough Urameshi is, he'd be finished in one blow!
Damn!
It's been a long time since I've had an opponent worth beating!
You punk!
The Mashotsukai Team has this as good as won now!
There's nobody that can stand up to Jin!
What do you think, Sakyo-san? How about betting on my team?
There's still time, isn't there?
No, I will abstain.
Pretty cautious, for someone so daring, Sakyo-san.
We won't know who wins the match until it is over.
Well, that is true enough.
There's no way Jin can lose! You just don't get it!
I sure do envy him, being able to create wind on his own.
You envy him?
After all, you wouldn't need any electric fans, right?
Or paper fans, or folding fans, or coolers...
I can't tell if he's smart or dumb...
Now then, both contestants have returned to the ring, and the match continues!
Go, Jin! We're counting on you!
I'm gettin' a good response!
No you don't!
You punk!
F- forgive me! They're moving too fast for me to see!
There's no way that I can offer any play-by-play like this!
Tell me, can you see them?
Y- yeah, barely...
What's happening?
What? Well... see...
They're exchanging punches, is what!
Really?
I think so.
Yusuke has a slight edge on speed. However, Jin has his wind...
Now's my chance!
Dammit! Not up again!
Contestant Jin, perhaps thinking himself at a disadvantage,
has escaped into the air!
Say there, something has been bothering me for a little while!
What is that?
That's a ringout, isn't it? Why don't you give him a count?
According to the rules, a count is only given if part of someone's body touches someplace outside of the ring.
As such, being in mid-air is not out of bounds, and a count is not given.
What do you mean by that!?
Yeesh! Which means that if the fight is going against him,
he can escape into the air whenever he wants!?
I get it now. With a punch like that,
it's no wonder Bakken couldn't stand up to him!
First thing to do is come up with another strategy while I'm here...
All right!
Way to go!
He's all ours!
I- it can't be!
After fleeing into the air and letting his guard down,
here comes Contestant Urameshi's Tei-gun!
Has he caught him!?
Oh, my! Even the great Contestant Jin was caught unprepared for this!
Can he avoid it?
You're mine!
"Blast Barrier" Bakufu shoheki!!
W- what!?
Whew, that was close, that was close!
H- he used the wind- no, a tornado- to change the direction of the Tei-gun!
Such fierce wind power! What a fearsome master of the wind!
I've got an armor of wind protectin' me!
There's absolutely no way you can hit me with your Tei-gun!
Damn!
All right! Way to go!
Not even Urameshi's eminent Tei-gun is any use against Jin!
This makes Urameshi's defeat certain!
And since he's the only one left, that means the Urameshi Team has lost!
All right! Go, Jin!
Jin... Jin... Jin... Jin...
Not again! Hold it down, hold it down!
What is all this?
Not even Yusuke-kun can handle this.
Wind has that much power to it, does it?
Well after all, the wind can blow whole houses away, let alone people or cars.
Even trees this big can be snapped in an instant by a sudden gust!
That's right, isn't it?
He can easily command wind with that much power at will.
That is one terrifying guy there.
If Yusuke can't use his Tei-gun, then that cuts his power in half!
His firearms aren't any use, huh?
In that case, all that's left for him is hand-to-hand fighting!
In which event, Jin will just bombard him with that whirlwind fist of his, won't he!?
T- that's right...
What do we do!? What are we supposed to do!?
There's nothing to get upset at me over, right?
It's not as though his Tei-gun is of utterly no use.
There is still one way to hit him.
It is an awfully risky gamble, though.
Yusuke has to have realized it. The more dangerous the gamble,
the more that bastard likes taking them, after all.
Okay then, how about we get around to finishin' this?
Here it comes! The Shura senpu-ken technique!
This time, Contestant Jin will be attacking from the air!
Here goes!
It looks as though that's the only thing I can do...
Contestant Jin enters a nosedive!
Oh, my! Contestant Urameshi is not flinching!
D- don't tell me you're giving in!
Y- Yusuke!
Urameshi!
He's going to do it.
Y- you don't mean to-!
That's it! The instant he puts forth his whirlwind fist...
He has to take that moment to come in direct contact with his opponent and fire his Tei-gun!
Now then, which one of us is tougher?
Tei-gun!!
Indeed, a risky gamble.
W- what happened?
That's still not entirely...
Ups-a-daisy...
I can't see either contestant! Where could they have gone!?
It appears that they were both blown away by the fierce collision of their powers!
Yow!
Ah! Contestant Urameshi has been thrown out of the ring!
Elsewhere, Contestant Jin...
He's above us! He's up in the sky!
That was close, that was close!
If that'd been a direct hit, it would've been trouble!
Geez, I blew it!
He's pretty tough, huh?
How come I didn't hit him?
At the instant your Tei-gun struck his whirlwind fist...
...rather than thinking of escape,
he turned so his gusts formed an upward current...
...and by changing the direction of the shockwave,
kept the damage down to a minimum.
Damn, what a punk!
Jin appears to have seen many battles.
He's got a lot more experience than you.
Is there any way you can win?
That goes without saying!
There's no way!
Is that anything to say so confidently?
We won't know who has won the match until it's over!
I don't care which one of you wins or loses.
I'm getting sick of just standing here.
I'm telling you right now, if you lose, I'm going next.
According to the rules, once a contestant has been judged to be unable to appear,
they cannot participate.
To hell with the rules.
I'll kill anyone that has anything to say about it.
I'll kill you all!
It looks as though Hiei has recovered considerably.
4...
5... 6...
7...
Contestant Urameshi has returned to the ring on the count of seven.
Leave this to me! I'll settle this cleanly on the next attempt!
Aren't you actin' tough?
After I think up what to do next, you won't be able to beat me!
We'll just see about that!
Awright, here goes!
Fight!
Tei-gun blockade, second wave!
This time, Contestant Jin has created tornadoes on both of his arms!
Damn! If he comes at me with whirlwind fists on both arms,
I can't possibly match up against him with my Tei-gun,
which I can only shoot from my right hand, can I!?
At two against one, things are completely going against him!
Even a little kid can figure that out!
What do I do?
What should I do?
At this point, I have no choice!
W- what could this stance mean? I've never seen this before!
He's planning on doing that technique!?
In contrast to the Tei-gun,
which concentrates Teiki into a point on the fingertip,
this technique has to raise the entire body's Teiki to its full power.
He's already shot his Tei-gun three times today,
so he can only use this technique once, since it's based on the same principle.
On top of that, it places a whole different kind of burden upon the body than the Tei-gun!
Even though this may be the only possible way he can win against Jin,
he's still a gambler through and through.
That stance!
Koenma-sama, do you know what it is?
N- no. Even if he used his Shotgun, Jin's wind would just deflect it.
What could he be planning to do?
It's still an incredible amount of Teiki.
That miserable Yusuke! To think that he has powered up this much!
No matter what technique he may use, it's obvious that Jin is going to win!
What the hell is Urameshi planning to do?
He...
We'll just have to trust Yusuke!
Awesome! His whole body is brimmin' with the power of a typhoon!
This is gonna be fun!
Let's fight!
Just what kind of technique is Yusuke going to produce from this stance?
And will it be of any use against Jin's whirlwind fists?
The moment of decision has come!
Impressive! Not even my full-body punch or my Tei-gun work against Jin!
It's no use! This is my final option! It's one dicey gamble, though...
But it's the only technique that will beat him!
Jin! Let's fight this out! I'm going to show you my ace-in-the-hole!
Next time: "Teikodan! An Unexpected Conclusion?!"
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.
