"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!
I never thought that half a century later,
I would once again be a guest at this tournament.
But then, to be called here by someone who was my ally 50 years ago...
Why did you call on me!?
To let you know how cruel the passage of time is.
Genkai Falls! Settled After 50 Years
Hey! Urameshi! Urameshi!
What gives?
No sooner did he wake up than he ran the hell off someplace at incredible speed...
What's going on, for crying out loud?
Kazuma! What are you doing there?
Yukina-san! Together with your entourage!
Who are you calling an entourage!? You just try saying that again!
(Entourage...)
You can't laugh this one off!
Oh, yeah... Never mind that, have you seen Urameshi?
Is something the matter with Yusuke?
All of a sudden, he ran off somewhere.
You're sure it wasn't to do some waking-up exercises?
No, it wasn't like that.
Come to think of it, Ba-san also said something beyond just what her words meant,
and then disappeared.
I'm going to go look for them.
Toguro...
You have already passed on your Reikohado-ken skills, huh?
Yeah. I have handed them over to Yusuke.
Very well... I have no further business with you.
No, it would be more honest to say that I cannot put up with you any more.
I don't want to look at your aged self any longer!
You really haven't changed. Fighting is the only thing inside your head.
It's been that way, ever since that time...
You and I both are at the height of our strength.
Lately, I've often thought it would be nice if time would just stop.
Perhaps.
I am afraid.
I'm not afraid of someone coming along who is stronger than us.
But when I think of that person showing up,
and my body being in decline, I'm afraid.
It really bothers me.
Being a human is inconvenient.
Is that right?
I want to acquire a body that will never grow weak.
That is my greatest desire!
As you put on years, I will put them on as well.
That's good enough, isn't it?
I can't put up with you, either!
You, who went so far as to sell your soul in order to cling to a moment's strength!
Is that so?
In that case, we'll just have to decide which one of us was right,
and which one of us was wrong!
I will take my remaining strength, all three Rei-gun shot's worth,
and blast you with all of my spiritual power!
You must have been trying to gouge out my heart.
You've gotten better at closing in on others, huh?
You'll have to excuse me for only using 45 percent...
Very well, I will show you myself at 80 percent!
T- the arm I tore apart...!
What is it? What is this strange Yoki!?
Which plant will be most effective...?
I've never felt a Yoki like this before!
What on earth is going on!?
Hey, Urameshi! Where have you gone!?
What is this!? I'm getting goose bumps all over my body!
I've never sensed a Yoki like this before!
There are only four people now alive who have seen me in this form.
My brother, Bui, Karasu...
...and now, you.
Though you will soon die...!
Pure strength, which transcends skills--that is what power is!
Even the air pressure created by thrusting my fist becomes a weapon!
Is that it? Is that the extent of your power?
I need not have waited for someone to come along and inherit the Reikohado-ken techniques.
I should have killed you back then.
Back when you were strong, and beautiful.
You are not Genkai!
You are just a worthless lump of skin and bones!
I am Genkai!
And I am not about to be killed by the likes of you!
You will die. And it will be at my hand.
Be grateful that you are to be killed by me, who knew you long ago.
I need power...
Power utterly different from Toguro's!
I don't care if I die...
I need at least enough power to open Toguro's eyes...!
Genkai...
What's the matter, Botan-san?
Master Genkai...
You're too late.
Time is without pity. Genkai's final blow, with all of her power behind it...
...was unable to even break my skin.
Ba-san...!
He's fast!
Ba-san! Ba-san!
Stay with me! It's me! Yusuke! Can you tell?
Ba-san!
Y- Yusuke...?
All right! I'm going to take you where everyone else is right now!
Kurama will be able to do something for you!
I am going... to die...
Ba-san!
I- I've known... ever since then...
I have come with a message from Toguro-sama.
Master Genkai, you are formally invited to be a guest at the next Dark Tournament.
You don't know, do you?
My wish when I won the tournament 50 years ago was that I not enter the tournament again.
I thought I told them. Go back and tell that to Toguro.
Urameshi Yusuke has also been called as a guest to the tournament.
Will you still turn us down?
Toguro-sama is waiting for the day when opponents worthy of fighting him come together.
Kurama and Hiei, a pair of Yokai, have also been chosen to be guests.
Toguro-sama is thrilled, and says,
"the most powerful figures since we were guest members 50 years ago will be coming together."
Yes... when I knew that I would see Toguro after 50 years...
...it was at that time that I realized I would die...
Toguro... once fought alongside you, Ba-san? 50 years ago?
The Toguro Team is victorious!
That's right. At that time, I was reincarnated, from human into Yokai,
in order to preserve my own strength longer.
That was my wish after winning the Dark Tournament 50 years ago.
All of my friends were fiercely opposed to it.
Y- Yusuke...
Ba-san! Don't talk!
L- listen to me, Yusuke...
E- everyone... must fight against time...
He... ran away from that fight...
He threw away... his pride... his soul... and his friends...
D- don't you make that mistake... Yu...suke...
Y- you are not... alone... Don't forget...
...who you've become strong for...
Ba-san...!
Her Reiki has disappeared...!
Master Genkai's Reiki...!
She's left us...
Master Genkai...
If only you, the successor to the Reikohado-ken secrets, had been born earlier...
...I wouldn't have had to see Genkai become this ugly.
There are only two paths to follow for those who live to fight:
become stronger, or die.
The moment she chose the path whereby she would spend her remaining years in idle depravity...
...at that time, she was already dead.
You close that filthy mouth of yours! I am going to kill you, right here and now!
I'll say it as many times as I like--
what is lying there is nothing more than a rotting, beaten dog!
Damn you!!
Ba-san...
That was a fine punch, Urameshi... the best one so far...
It's almost here! The day when I fight at 100 percent!
I can't wait!
Puu-chan, what's the matter? Why are you making such a sad face?
Botan-san has been acting strangely too...
Sheesh! Where has the Urameshi bastard gone off to?
And what the hell was that enormous Yoki earlier?
Ba-san...
You concentrate your Reihado into one point.
All right! Now stay just like that for another 12 hours!
How'm I supposed to do that!?
This is training in catching your opponent's Reihado.
Do this carelessly, and you'll die.
We'll continue until you can catch it without so much as flinching! Get up!
It's no use...! I can't do any more...
Bonehead! What is to be done if you were to give up after just this!?
You expect me to just take this, you damned hag!?
See? You still had that much power left, didn't you?
That just proves you aren't doing this seriously, bonehead!
Shut up! You can take your training and stick it!
Yusuke...
...don't you lose.
Before the finals,
Master Genkai has had her life taken from her by the hand of Toguro.
The time when Yusuke, who is burning with rage,
confronts Toguro is drawing near.
I am going to make Toguro pay!
Yusuke, what are you so depressed about?
Everyone else is polishing their moves in preparation for the finals!
But what's going to happen with you, their captain, like this?
Going into the finals without Genkai is going to be a lot tougher.
You don't have time to be grieving!
Become strong, Yusuke, and win!
Next time: "Before the Storm: Overcoming Sorrow"
I believe in you!
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.
