"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!
Having won their way through the intense fighting of the Dark Tournament,
the Urameshi Team at last faces their confrontation
with destiny against the Toguro Team in the final round.
In the first match, despite dealing an absolute knockout blow to Karasu,
Kurama suffered a ten-count defeat.
In the second match,
Hiei used all of his spectral energy, and after a fierce battle,
he defeated Bui with his ultimate secret technique,
the Ensatsu kokuryu-ha wave.
This brought the score to a one-to-one tie.
The Eerie Shadow of Toguro the Elder
You know, they did a good job of smashing this place up something fierce.
Once again, we've been made aware of the force of Hiei's Ensatsu kokuryu-ha.
While the man who launched it is sound asleep there.
He has used up all of his energy. He doesn't have much choice.
Be that as it may, what are we going to do about the next match with the ring the way it is?
Who cares about the ring? With the momentum we've got now,
I'm going to go out there and pluck us another victory!
What is the deal with this chill I'm feeling?
Why am I trembling like this?
That bastard's just trying to provoke you. Don't let it bother you.
Who, me? Don't be a dumbass! I was just staring them down, that's all.
I've just received an announcement from the tournament's main office.
For the next short while,
we will be taking some time out in order to repair the ring.
Ahem...
Yes, what is it?
Do you happen to need a play-by-play announcer's assistant?
You see, I'm terribly bored. Please allow me to help you out.
We will now be conducting a test of the mikes.
J- just a moment, y- you'll get me in trouble!
Basu, gasu, bakuhatsu... Basu, gasu, bakuhatsu...
He's good...!
And now for a song! "On the night of the full moon..."
What the hell did he come here for, anyhow?
You're a fine one to talk, Koenma.
Are you in any position to speak about others?
I- I'm here out of concern for you guys!
Well, well, a break, huh? Nothing we can do about that.
I guess I'll go back to our waiting room.
Your intuition is indeed sharp.
I mean, for you to be having a premonition of your own death...
W- why you... when did you get over here!?
You have grown surprisingly over these last few months.
However, the difference in our powers is just too great.
You know this as well. You are certain to die.
How fortunate for you that your execution has been delayed.
You should spend this intermission time
to make sure that you leave no regrets behind in this world.
You are certain to die!
What's the matter, Kuwabara? You're all restless.
I- I was just thinking that with this break lasting as long as this,
that maybe Ba-san would be coming back.
Are you afraid of fighting Toguro the Elder?
Just a little bit. If you like, do you want to fight him?
When it comes to fighting, I'm ready at any time...
...to run away!
For the love of... you're not worth a damn!
And you're supposed to stand in for Ba-san?
If only Ba-san were here,
then I could have had their boss, Sakyo, as my opponent.
This isn't like you, Kuwabara. Don't go counting on Ba-san.
She's not coming back today.
Hey, Kazuma...
What are you backing away from!?
You dumbass, I'm not backing away!
I'm just... a little bit nervous, that's all.
Kazuma, are you...?
Is something the matter, Shizuru-san?
No, not really.
Kazuma's Reiki is different than the way it usually is.
You are...
Kazuma-san?
Yukina-san!
I wanted you to do your best in the next match,
so I brought you some stamina drinks.
You didn't need to go to all that trouble.
When Toguro the Elder goes up against your man Kuwabara,
he'll be all worked over in 0.5 seconds!
Y- your affections have definitely reached me!
Maybe I'm over-imagining things...
What is that rumbling?
What the hell is happening?
W- what is this?
What is with that guy!?
How can this be!?
Contestant Toguro has brought the ring from the previous stadium!
What truly, truly extraordinary strength!
He's carrying that huge ring...?
Dammit!
The mood I was in from Yukina-san's encouragement just got blown away all at once!
What kind of monster is this guy!?
Are you awake?
Where am I? How many hours have I been asleep?
We're in our waiting room, and you've been asleep for about six hours.
What about the tournament!? How are Yusuke and Kuwabara?
They still haven't fought.
But neither one of them could sit still, so they went over to the arena.
What? What's going on!?
They've had their hands full cleaning the stadium up after you.
Toguro the Younger carried the tile ring from the previous stadium here,
and at last, it's gotten to the point where the matches can go on.
What?
The stadium maintenance is complete, and matches have become possible.
The matches will reconvene thirty minutes from now.
Spectators, please return to your seats.
Hiei, how about we go too?
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the long delay.
We will now hold the third match!
Sheesh, they're reconvening the matches, and Ba-san still hasn't come back?
Good grief, what an imbecile...
What, did you finally wake up?
Yusuke, why haven't you told Kuwabara-kun about Master Genkai?
Hey, you're looking a little pale.
Are you going to concede the match and run away?
Don't put me in the same category as you!
I am Kuwabara Kazuma!
For me, taking care of that guy is a piece of cake!
That's right! I'm not about to lose to this guy!
I've got this surefire special sword!
All right! We've been waiting for this!
After the Toguro brothers' consecutive wins, it's all over!
Kazuma...
And so, the final round is at last resumed!
The interruption has lasted about six hours.
However, thanks to the extraordinary performance of Contestant Toguro,
the tension among the spectators has been steadily rising!
Well then, I'll just go put the squeeze on him...
(Kuwabara! Be a good boy and get killed!)
(Kill him! Kill him! Kill him good!)
Kazuma-san...
I'll win for sure if I make the first move!
With my deadly sword here, I'm going to scare him out of his mind!
Begin the match!
How about that!? You nervous?
Contestant Kuwabara produces a powerful Rei-ken sword unlike any he has displayed before.
What's more, his Reiki is enveloping him like a barrier.
Kuwabara-kun's astounding powers of recovery have become even more heightened!
The Reiki coursing through his sword is also several times stronger.
It is indeed a weapon of both offense and defense!
I'm going to settle this right away! Here goes!!
That sword is definitely trouble. I think I'll use that one trick...
The floor under Toguro's feet...!
You're mine!
Why isn't he moving out of the way!?
What!?
W- what's going on...?
This is a surprise! With a lighting speed attack,
Contestant Kuwabara has cut Contestant Toguro clean in half in the blink of an eye!
You did it, Kuwa-chan!
The bastard won!
Incredible!
(What happened to Toguro the Elder!?)
Hey, did he really just win?
I'm not sure.
I- I did it! I beat Toguro the Elder!
The winner is Kuwa--
What!?
This is a surprise!
Contestant Toguro the Elder, who was supposed to have been cut in two,
has implausibly sprung back and appeared behind Contestant Kuwabara!
However, the severed body of Contestant Toguro is also definitely still in the ring!
Are you sure Toguro the Elder isn't twins?
No, there isn't any data in my materials concerning that.
Then maybe he's triplets.
It pleases me that you are so na-�ve that I was able to fool you.
How come there are two of him...?
The one that you sliced was a living doll that I made out of my own body.
An imitation.
I did feel pain, but not as much as you are now.
What's more, it's not just my shape that I can alter.
I am also capable of relocating my internal organs, brain,
and so forth into my arms or legs.
I moved my entire self behind you through the soles of my feet,
by drilling my way through the floor tiles!
What kind of bastard are you!?
This is quite a handy instrument, huh? Is it a memento from Genkai?
Memento...?
Then again, after leaving a memento to a pupil so foolish as you,
she won't be able to rest in peace, now that she's dead.
W- what!? What did you just say!?
What are you so surprised at? Do you mean you didn't know?
Genkai is dead. She's been killed!
D- dead...?
Genkai-san has died?
T- that can't be...
Ba-san won't be coming back today.
Sheesh, they're reconvening the matches, and Ba-san still hasn't come back?
Good grief, what an imbecile...
So that's it...
Everyone else knew, huh?
Am I the only one... am I the only one that didn't know!?
There's no need to grieve. You'll be going where Genkai is very soon.
All I have to do is squeeze my fingers together,
and I can pluck your heart right out!
Kazuma-san!
Kuwabara!
Your pals are all so cold! Nobody told you!?
All right, then. Before you die, I'll explain it to you--
how powerless and miserable you humans are--
with a puppet show!
Once upon a time, there was a young man and a young woman.
The woman's name was Genkai, and she was a beauty without equal.
And the man...
...was my younger brother, and went by the name of Toguro.
The two of them were friends who worked to master the martial arts.
However...
As the months and years went by, the woman grew hideously older...
Brother!
It's okay, let me do this!
Contrarily, the man used the power of the Demon Realm to better his martial arts,
and he kept his youth.
And so, the old woman became envious of the man, still in his youth,
and challenged him to a duel.
However, as heartbreaking as it may be, she met with defeat in her challenge.
I- incredibly, it seems that Contestant Genkai was killed by Contestant Toguro the Younger before the beginning of the finals!
Botan-san, is this true? Has Genkai-san died?
Mm-hmm.
I- it can't be...!
And so, Genkai was killed by my brother, and has gone to heaven.
Where she lived happily ever after.
You're wrong! Ba-san didn't fight out of envy!
He's just being asinine.
It's a bad habit that Brother has.
That tears it... completely...!
You're sure full of spirits, huh?
However, I have your trump card right here.
You cannot cut through me with your Reiki alone.
Shut up...!
You're the one who's going to be silenced! Die!!
Oh, my! Contestant Kuwabara has had his heart run through!
W- what does this mean?
I've stopped at the skin, and I can't stab any farther!
Incredible! Kuwabara-kun's Reiki is rising higher and higher out of anger!
I'm going to make you...
I'm going to make you pay!!
Burn in hell!!
What!?
Oh, my!
Contestant Kuwabara fights back with a technique he's showing us for the first time!
The tables have been turned!
Incredibly, Contestant Kuwabara has cut Contestant Toguro the Elder to pieces,
and dropped him onto the ring!
You did it!
Kazuma-san...!
Nicely done, Kazuma.
And now, I will begin the count! 1...
However, there is no need to listen to the count,
as Contestant Toguro the Elder's defeat is clear just by looking at him.
The Urameshi Team now leads with two wins and one loss,
and they are only one step away from winning the Dark Tournament!
The upcoming Yusuke-san has it practically wrapped up, if I may say so...
W- who was that who threw the can at my head!?
The matches are not over yet. The last man, Toguro the Younger, still remains.
He is strong--he's more than strong! And while I am in a neutral position...
What in the world is it with this person?
6...
You lowlife... This is your own fault for making fun of Genkai Ba-san's death.
8...
Stop that. Your count is meaningless.
To think that you could shoot Reiki like shuriken knives from out of where your sword emanates...
You're more clever than I expected.
What...!?
But it's not good to overexert yourself.
You see? You've got too many injuries to be releasing your Reiki in a way you're unaccustomed to.
H- his body is joining back together!
Moreover, unfortunately for you, that attack did no damage to me.
What are you, immortal!?
I- I'm terribly sorry. Contestant Toguro the Elder has not been defeated.
On the contrary, he has not even taken damage.
I apologize, and make the correction.
(Whoa, that was awesome, Toguro the Elder!)
(All of the parts that were cut off have gone back to normal!)
As long as you don't crush my heart and brain, you have no chance of surviving.
However, since I can move my heart and brain at will,
there's no way you can tell where they are!
Dammit...!
I'm afraid I'm going to have to have you sprawl out on the ground.
It's what suits you best!
Rot in hell!
The furious Kuwabara confronts the undying Toguro the Elder.
Kuwabara is in a desperate situation. Can he escape from this crisis?
Toguro the Elder... Just who the hell is that guy?
Cut him again and again, and he just returns back to his original form!
There's no way to stop him like this! Isn't there any way to defeat him?
Kuwabara, I'm begging you, get up!
I don't want to have to avenge your death as well.
Next time: "Explosion of Anger! Kuwabara's Counterattack"
We haven't made it to the finals 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.
