"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 the first match of the Dark Tournament's final round,
Karasu, through the manipulation of invisible bombs,
mounted an illusive attack.
Kurama was facing a difficult battle, until the Fruit of Former Life,
an Item of Darkness that he had taken before the match,
took effect just in the nick of time during one of the blasts,
and he transformed into his Yoko form!
And now, the true powers of both men are about to collide!
The Desperate Kurama! A Final Measure
The Ojigi weed of the Demon Realm is rather aggressive.
It goes after anything that moves or is laden with flammables on its own.
It appears that it has considered you to be its enemy.
Oh, my! In a complete reversal of offensive and defensive positions,
Contestant Karasu now finds himself in a great pinch!
All right! Go get him!
Let him have it, Kurama!
You cannot run from it!
They do have feelings, so it would be bad for you if you angered them.
Your half-assed attack has created an adverse reaction. "Bang!"
That was more disappointing than I was expecting.
I would have liked to toy with you another two or three minutes.
This is incredible! All at once, we have reached a conclusion!
Once Contestant Kurama transformed-
I don't know if you can say he's in a whole other league-
but he was certainly overwhelming!
All right! That was awesome, Kurama!
That didn't even take 15 minutes! You defeated him in less than 5 minutes!
All right! That's one win!
Whoa, Yoko Kurama... That is some incredible strength...
Koenma-sama! Koenma-sama!
What is it!?
Your face has turned back to normal!
T- that is serious!
Whoops, this won't do!
He did it!
That's our Kurama-kun. He's terribly far removed from my own Kazu, huh?
Juri-san! Juri-san! Your job, your job!
R- right!
Let's see... Judging Contestant Karasu to be unable to continue fighting,
Contestant Kurama is the victor!
H- huh?
What!?
Who are you calling incapable of fighting?
I- I was wrong! My mistake! I was mistaken!
The match continues! Please, excuse me!
Just what is going on here?
I've taken a liking to you, Kurama. Now I want to kill you even more.
Karasu's mask has come off.
That is trouble. Sakyo-san, you'd better stand behind me.
C- Contestant Karasu's hair color has changed!
And even my eyes can tell that Contestant Karasu's Yoki is growing more powerful!
W- what is this? What's happening?
He's gathering flammable material into his body through his mouth.
It's as if his whole body was becoming an explosives shed.
He's what?
Both of his hands are probably the trigger.
Get yourselves ready, or you'll be caught in the middle of it.
Die!!
It doesn't look like he's holding back.
You should step back a little farther.
Are you all right?
I- I nearly died there!
Yow!
Kurama!
What in the world!?
I don't see Contestant Kurama!
Could he have been blown away in the explosion?
Oh, my! Contestant Kurama is still alive!
However, he is not in his Yoko form!
What's more, he has taken considerable damage from the explosion just now!
Kurama! He's back to normal! The effects of the drug have worn off!
T- that's ridiculous! It's only been five or six minutes!
He should be able to stay Yoko for fifteen minutes!
There should have been more time! Why!?
I tried it out several times. Could the drug have started wearing off faster?
Sorry to interrupt you while you're lost in thought,
but it's time to say your prayers.
That you may at least die an easy death...
It would appear you don't even have enough Yoki left
to make a plant into a weapon.
You are no longer up to being able to see my Yoki either, are you?
Kurama!
Well now, it's as if Contestant Kurama has been completely disarmed!
How will he stand up to Contestant Karasu's overwhelming power?
Announce that you have given up.
I will kill you in such a way that you will not suffer.
Oh, my! This is the first we've seen of these fisticuffs
from Contestant Kurama during this tournament!
However, Contestant Karasu is dodging every strike in the nick of time!
Kurama has something planned...
Have your lost your mind from your injuries?
Coming close to me is suicidal!
If I can't see your Yoki,
then it's all the same, no matter where I am!
That was a pretty good thrust... Or so I'd like to say...
This was what you were after, right?
Shimaneki grass, huh?
Your rehashed attacks won't work.
So fist-fighting doesn't work against him either?
He can even read attacks that use plants!
Isn't there anything else he can do?
Let me commend you for injuring me not just once, but twice now.
Caught you!
My underground explosive, the Muddy Bomb.
"Muddy Bomb" Just a little longer!
Kurama!
Kurama, don't move! You're surrounded!
Even if you'd like to move, it must be all you can do just to stand up, right?
There's nothing you can do.
You can't call on any plants from the Demon Realm.
You can no longer... make a plant... into a weapon, either.
Am I wrong?
It would be a simple matter for me to blow you to bits.
But I'm not going to do so!
I can't watch any more!
That Karasu guy is so cruel!
For him not to finish him off all at once like this!
Finish him off nothing! Kurama still hasn't lost, you know!
There's no way Kurama is going to be done in by that guy...
...not by that pal of Toguro's!
Is it over yet?
Karasu is enjoying this fight.
Well, let's just watch as he methodically finishes this up.
You've done well to put me to this much trouble.
I wish I could place you at my side forever...
As your reward, I will let your beautiful face remain just as pretty as it is.
It looks like you still haven't realized it, huh?
What it was I was really after...
The place where you are bleeding from...
Your heart...
Now all I have to do is summon a bloodsucking plant
that loves Yokai blood...
You have got it all so terribly wrong...
Even in this form, I am able to summon Demon Tealm plants...
In exchange... for me dying!
Now then, shall we move along?
Kurama!!
Yahoo! Karasu! Don't tease us like that!
Get him! Get him! Get him once and for all!
Kill him!
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
What tremendous cheering! I can't even hear the voices of those around me!
Yo, yo, don't act all important like that!
Give that back!
Yeah, he's right!
Juri-san, can we please have a count?
Right!
Contestant Kurama is down! I will make the count! 1...
2... 3...
4... 5... 6...
I- I will... use up all of my remaining spectral power...
This is my last resort!
I don't need you to count!
It's who lives and who dies!
No it's not!
Die!!
You're dying too!
A bloodsucking plant? Impossible...
There's no way you could summon this...
Kurama!
Don't tell me he has died!
T- that can't be true!
But still, it looked as though he exerted the last of his power...
That can't be!
I'm alive...
B- but why? Without me realizing it...
...has my spectral power begun increasing?
So that's it. The effect of the drug hadn't grown weaker!
The power of the Yoko... is returning to Minamino Shuichi's body!
Kurama!
You did it! What a come-from-behind win!
Kurama wins it!
Uh...
A miracle has occurred, as Kurama staked his life on a suicide strategy.
However, the epic final round has just begun!
What's this, Hiei? You're going to go next?
You've still got that overgrown self-confident attitude, don't you?
Even so, that armor that Bui is wearing is nothing ordinary!
Your smart-mouth cracks aren't going to work on it, you know!
Look, I'll be happy to at least gather up your bones afterward!
Next time: "Intimidation! Bui Removes His Armor"
Ow! You didn't have to hit me, you know.
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.
