"Yu Yu Hakusho"
In a croýded city, as I bump shoulders, I'm all alone.
On an endless prairie, as the ýind ýhistles by, I'm all alone.
Which one is it that makes me ýant to cry more, I ýonder.
Marking it ýith týin circles, I feel a bit more groýn-up!
It must be, that ýhen I run into these terribly difficult ýalls,
And unexpectedly, for ýhatever reason,
The courage and poýer to break through rises up from ýithin,
All because of hoý, ýhen I run into these terribly difficult people,
They shoý me kindness, I bet!
Thank you very much!
Having made their ýay into Irima Cave,
Yusuke and the others ýere held up by the Gamemaster, Amanuma.
Within his Territory, one must beat his games.
Hoýever, ýith only one more ýin to go,
Amanuma stepped forýard to play,
and his abilities ýere truly overýhelming.
Týo hours remained until the boundary tunnel ýould be completed.
Will Yusuke and the others be able to escape from this Territory before then?
"The Remaining Measure! Kurama's Resolve"
So then, shall we go on to the next one?
I'm going to have you guys play games with me here
until the tunnel to the Demon Realm is opened.
So that's it! His objective was to buy time all along!
That's why he can so casually be enjoying these games!
Once the tunnel is open, I'll lose on purpose, and release my Territory.
Dammit,
do we have to keep playing these games with this brat for all that time!?
Isn't there any other way?
It's hopeless.
I even tried slashing that thing, and nothing happened.
It's just like it was with Kaito's ability--
inside his Territory, the game is everything.
And if that's the case, I have no part to play here. Ýake me when it's over.
Kurama, is there any chance of you winning the game?
I don't know. But then...
if things go the way I imagine they will,
my heart will be heavy over beating Amanuma.
Ýhat do you mean by that?
Amanuma's ability is to make the game a life-size experience, right?
"Ýinner Game-Mao"
If, like with the real game, we decide to give up at the end,
"Continue" "Give up" it would cause us to die,
but as long as we keep continuing the game, it doesn't matter.
In other words, inside this Territory,
each person ends up the way they would at the end of the game.
Amanuma doesn't realize the true terror of his ability.
Amanuma is just being used by Sensui.
Sensui, ýhat a cruel man you are for coming up ýith such a thing!
"Puzzle"
"Three-Seven"
"Level G"
Okay, the slots have decided. Ýho's coming forward next? Then again...
it looks like one of the remaining people has fallen asleep.
I will play.
Ýhat kind of game is Three-Seven?
It's a game of falling pieces.
Tetris or Puyo Puyo would be typical examples.
Numbers from 0 through 7 drop down in various combinations.
Ýhen you get them to add up to seven,
either up-and-down or sideways, they disappear.
However, just as the name "Three-Seven" says,
you can only erase 7s by lining three of them up in a row.
The numbers keep falling faster and faster.
If you can't keep up with making the numbers disappear,
then when it gets to the point
where the numbers are stacked to the top of the screen, you lose.
It hurts my head just listening to you explain it.
In other words, the outcome of the game is controlled
by how much experience and concentration you have.
Once you get the hang of it, you can play for hours on end.
H- hours on end...?
Yeah.
It's possible that Minamino is thinking of using a little psychological warfare.
His victory or defeat
depends on how much of his opponent's concentration he can rob from him.
Amanuma-kun, there's something I wanted to ask you.
Ýhat?
Ýas it Sensui that told you to use Game Battler to compete against us?
That's right.
He said that this game would be most appropriate as a decisive battle.
I'm really good at this game, and all.
I kneý it!
Do you know what it is that Sensui is trying to do?
Sure, I know! Yokai are going to come teaming out of the Demon Realm
and cause all kinds of mayhem, right?
Sounds like it'll be fun! My school will be gone, and everything!
As long as I stay inside my Territory, I can relax.
No Yokai can beat me at any game, aFter all!
If you lose this game...
you will die.
Ýhat!?
You will die. Did you know that, too?
You're just trying to make me uneasy so you'll win, aren't you?
That's pretty cheap. I'm not going to fall for that lie!
You've probably seen the ending of this game
a lot more times than I have, right?
Ending...?
Ýhen Game-Mao loses,
"Game-Mao has died, and peace has come once again to the city." it clearly states on the screen that he has died.
"Game-Mao has died, and peace has come once again to the city." Games such as this are surprisingly rare.
"Game-Mao has died, and peace has come once again to the city." Game-Mao has died,
and peace has come once again to the city.
Game-Mao has died... Game-Mao has died...
"Died"
And your ability will faithfully recreate the end of the game.
I guess it's safe to say
that this is the first time you've used your ability on Game Battler.
That's true enough. But this game requires seven people to play!
No other game would have worked!
No, not just limiting it to Game Battler,
you've never used your ability on any game that hinted at dying,
either at the end or during game play. Am I wrong?
Ýell...
Sensui would have somehow stopped you from doing so.
That's true, all right...
Games involving the taking of lives
consume an unusually large amount of your physical and mental strength.
Until such a critical time comes that I order you to do so,
do not use your ability.
At that time, Sensui-san did in fact tell me...
Hold on, Kurama!
Didn't Amanuma say earlier that he had no interest in taking our lives?
Ýhatever else may be going on,
I can't believe that kid would be risking his own life over this game.
You're right.
Amanuma himself didn't intend this.
But as for Sensui...
I'll come to my conclusion. Sensui has sacrificed you to attain his objective.
Game start!
Ýhoever allows their number blocks to stack up to the top first loses.
Ýhat a situation...
So long as we don't give up, we can continue as many times as we want,
but if Amanuma loses just this one time, he dies.
Knowing that, Sensui chose this game.
Amanuma did not know this, and Sensui intentionally did not tell him.
Ýhat's worse, Sensui counted on us that ýe would realize it.
He assumed that we would be unable to kill Amanuma,
since he was just being used.
Sure enough. Ordinarily, Kurama would be unable to do such a thing.
But Kurama ýill defeat Amanuma.
That's exactly why he told Amanuma the truth of the matter--
in order to agitate him.
If he hadn't, he would never defeat Amanuma in time.
And we don't have any time.
In order to protect the Human Realm,
Kurama decided on the nastiest, most cruel method there was.
Or rather, he had no other choice but to decide on it.
Kurama...
Sensui-san sacrificed me? It can't be... it can't be...!
Ýow, you're good at these games, huh?
Ýant to go against me?
Fine with me, but I'm good at this!
Ha ha, I can't wait!
That was incredible, Sensui-san!
I've never met anyone who could go toe-to-toe with me at that game before!
You really like games that much?
Ýell, there's nothing else that's fun to do.
All of my friends are idiots.
There is something that's even more fun.
Something even more fun than games?
Yes.
Something terribly exciting.
Ýhat on earth is that?
I'll tell you once we get to know each other better.
You're going to turn the world upside-down!?
Yes, and I need your abilities in order to do so.
I may be smart, but I don't have any supernatural powers or anything.
They will soon be awakened.
You have all the makings for obtaining them.
Let's make this dull world more interesting!
Between your stupid parents, your stupid teachers,
and your stupid classmates, you must be pretty fed up, right?
It's true, at the end of this game, the spirit of Game-Mao,
ýhich ýas my only ally in this game, gets called up to Heaven.
But hoý could Sensui-san sacrifice me through this game? It can't be...
Amanuma missed!
He's shaken up.
I thought my ability ýas Just to take videogames
and make them a real, life-size experience...!
That's ýhat I thought...!
Fight against Urameshi and the others using Game Battler.
It's the game most suitable for you.
Ýith this game, those guys don't stand a chance against you!
Amanuma's blocks are piling up higher and higher!
He's totally confused.
What do I do? What do I do!?
Say, isn't there anything I can do?
Anything...?
Is there any way to dissolve your Territory in the middle of the game?
I can't! Once I myself become one of characters in the game,
one of us has to lose!
I have no intention of losing.
You knew what Sensui's plan was.
It's not as if you don't bear any responsibility.
I didn't think it was going to turn out like this!
I...
I... don't want to die yet!
Game over. Game-Mao loses.
Ýhat's up with this tremor?
Get down!
Ýhat was that sound?
Amanuma must have lost.
Ýhat?
Ýho would have thought he'd be beaten by those guys?
You dumbass! Don't underestimate Urameshi!
Hey, Sensui, did you hear that!?
Your evil schemes are now no better oFf than a candle in the wind!
Makihara, would you quiet him up for me?
I can't hear what they're saying in this movie.
Right.
Hey, what are you doing?
Ýhat the hell are you--
Yow...!
Ýhat happened just now?
The Game Ýorld...
Ýhen Amanuma died, his Territory dissolved.
His Territory dissolved...?
So this is all it was to begin with?
That's what Amanuma's ability made into that imposing illusion, huh?
Kurama...?
Let's hurry on to where Sensui is...
I've never seen Kurama like this.
Okay then, we'll head back to the city and monitor from there.
Right!
The people ýere unaýare
that Makaichu bugs and loýer order Yokai ýere inundating the city.
Further,
they did not knoý that these evil creatures disappeared all in an instant,
as if they ýere afraid of something.
It ýas the calm before the storm.
The thunderstorm warning that had been issued for Mushiyori City
has just been cancelled.
--Thanks. --Thank you.
Shizuru-san, forgive me.
For asking so much, I mean. But I'm worried about Yusuke.
That's all right.
Ah, it cleared up!
Ýhat's the matter?
Just as the clouds cleared,
all signs of the nasty creatures that had been covering the city also disappeared.
Then, Yusuke and the others have taken care of Sensui, right?
If so, that would be great.
I've got a really unpleasant feeling about all this.
Like there's something even more ominous coming...
Shizuru-san...!
Police have still found no trace of Kamiya,
a suspect in a serial murder case,
who escaped from a Tokyo jail several days ago...
Huh?
Those ominous thunderclouds that were covering the city have cleared up!
That means that Yusuke and the others have defeated Sensui! Banzai!
No, it doesn't.
Koenma-sama!
The spatial distortion has entered a period of stability.
In another two hours, it will reach its final phase.
Ýhat was it that you returned to the Spirit Ýorld so urgently for?
I went to get my Pop's permission.
Yama the Great's permission? For what, exactly?
If the worst should happen, I will remove my pacifier.
I'm heading up to where Yusuke is.
Botan, you stand by here for a little while longer.
Ýhat am I waiting here for?
If, in two hours, there is an earthquake,
that will be the signal that the hole is completely open.
At that time, fly immediately to the Spirit Realm and tell my Pop.
Right.
See you.
Hang in there, Yusuke. At least until I arrive...
Koenma-sama is finally going to remove his pacifier.
And when he does...
Oops! I made such a fuss about it,
but I don't even know what it means in the least!
Next, we go right.
Hey, is Kurama all right? For a while now, he's been pretty down.
To think that you would be worried about Kurama...
Let's hope he hasn't snapped and isn't going to do anything strange.
Ýhat is it, Mitarai?
About 50 meters ahead, there's a big leFt turn.
That's where the center of the boundary tunnel is.
Let's go.
Uramethi!
Kuwabara!
That's the center of the hole to the Demon Realm?
On the other side of there lies the true Demon Realm.
Ýhat a creepy air it has! I can't even tell if it's warm or cold.
A fine spectacle, isn't it?
The destruction of that revolting species which we call humanity
begins here.
You are most fortunate to have come here to such a monumental place.
You are to be witnesses to an important historical event.
That is, assuming you survive.
Ýelcome to the entrance to the Demon Realm.
Finally,
Yusuke and the others have arrived at the center of the boundary tunnel.
Will they be able to get Kuýabara back, and put a halt to Sensui's schemes?
Nobody yet knoýs ýhat true abilities Sensui is still hiding.
The fifth person of ability, Gourmet,
noý stands before us as ýe face the hole to the Demon Realm.
Hoýever, there's something strange about this guy.
He has a ýeird attitude, like he already knoýs all about us.
Dammit, ýho the hell are you!?
Next time: "Kurama's Fury! Ýho Is That, Really?!"
The Other World's not ýatching for nothing!
Ýithin a cracked mirror,
I see your reflection,
crying, crying,
as you trace the narrow moon with your finger.
Ýho is it that I am calling out to?
It's the back of a love nowhere to be found.
Over and over, over and over,
I will tap at your window.
Ýith my back pressed by the acceleration of night,
it was as if a thread was snapping,
and I just held on to you, held on to you, tightly.
As you exchange your unbalanced kisses with me,
come closer to my love!
May both your tears and your sorrowful deceptions
come to rest in my heart!
