"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!
Urameshi Yusuke died one day trying to save a child's life.
However, since his death was unexpected, even in the Spirit Realm,
he was told by Yama the Great's son, Koenma,
that if he could hatch the egg of a Reikai-ju, a Spiritual Realm Beast,
he would be able to return to life. Taking it and hurrying back,
Yusuke was first successful in protecting his own body.
"Kuwabara In a Corner! A Man's Oath"
This egg is alive! It's alive!
Doesn't that mean you have a pure heart?
That's right!
It must be drawing off the energy of my good-natured heart and growing, huh!?
Oh? I'm not too sure.
But I'm in for it now!
I'm told to do good things, but just what the hell is it I should be doing!?
I don't think that just following after Keiko-chan
because you're worried about her counts.
Oh, just shut up! That wasn't even my intent!
It's just that I have this bad foreboding about her...
Oh dear, this couldn't be Kuwabara-kun here, could it?
Look, 5,000 yen will be fine! 5,000 yen!
I don't mind taking your whole wallet!
Y- you can't mean...!
You miserable bastards!
Come on, come on! Hurry up and give it over!
Hey, you!!
Kuwabara!
Hey, you punks! You're from Kasanegafuchi Middle School, aren't you?
What are you doing, attacking a girl!?
Keiko-chan, go on now!
B- but...
It's okay, leave this to us!
I can't sit quietly by and watch those of you who torment the weak like that!
Come and get it, any way you like!
Why, you!
Kuwabara's not doing too bad!
Get 'em! Get 'em!
You guys have really gotten into it on a grand scale this time, huh?
I understand you got into a big fight with some 3rd-year students
at Kasanegafuchi Middle School.
Are you listening to me!?
The way you guys have been acting lately is inexcusable!
Ah, right away with the lecture, huh?
But they did it to help Keiko-chan!
The teachers aren't concerned with reasons or anything.
None of you feels any remorse, then? Well, there's nothing left to do.
Okubo, you've been working part-time with the school's permission, haven't you?
A special exemption.
Yeah.
As of today, it's being revoked.
Hey, how come!? Fighting doesn't have anything to do with his job, does it!?
Please, let it go this one time!
My ma is the only one at home, and my brother and sister are still little.
If my job is taken from me, we'll be in trouble!
Hey, Sensei, I'm asking on his behalf too.
It may have been a fight, but Okubo just got beaten on!
I'm the one who roughed up all the other guys!
Okay, then. If you're willing to go that far, I'm willing to let this go,
if you'll make me a promise.
A promise?
Yes. For one week, you will not fight at all.
A week? So what are we supposed to do if they start a fight with us!?
Make it two hours, okay!? Two hours!
K- Kuwabara-san...
One week, and it's okay then?
Can you do that, Kuwabara-san?
We're saying this for you, Kuwabara-san.
Then it's a promise!
Things are getting serious.
He's someone who is certain to break his promise,
and he himself fell for it, Iwamoto-Sensei!
He's the biggest fool around, and quickest to fight, next to Urameshi Yusuke.
After this, we'll be able to drive Kuwabara out of school, too!
With Urameshi gone, and once Kuwabara goes,
the stock people put in our school will shoot way up!
I get it. So that's his scheme, is it?
Those jerks are terrible!
There sure are some awful sensei out there!
He makes me so angry!
Yeah, but I'm begging you guys!
My ma is sick, and has been missing a lot of her part-time work.
It's no exaggeration, my job is supporting us, you see.
Whoa, despite how he appears, he's having a rough time of it, huh?
Don't you worry, Okubo!
I can stay home and nap or something for a week. It's the promise of a man!
Kuwabara-san...
Now that that's settled,
it'd be a pain if those Kasanegafuchi Middle guys find us,
so you guys get home right away too!
Kuwabara-san really means it!
But is he going to be all right?
Kuwabara-kun is pretty thoughtful of his friends, huh?
In word only, in word only!
I know him. No sooner will the words be out of his mouth than he'll be fighting!
Really?
I'll catch you right at the scene of the fight!
Akashi!
It'll be like he's jumping right into the teachers' trap!
Kuwabara! We've been waiting for you!
T- this is bad!
--Kuwabara! Are you running away!?
-You spineless wimp! Are you afraid of us!?
I will neither run nor hide! I will fight you!
You've got a lot of guts, being all alone!
You're gonna pay for everything you did yesterday!
Yeah, fine! Bring it on, anyhow you want!
See? Told you.
So soon, so soon!
But I won't hit you. Once you've satisfied yourself hitting me,
beat it on back where you came from!
W- what did he say!?
How cool!
Come on, come on, try to fight back, Kuwabara!
Kuwabara-san...
What's the matter? What's the matter!? Here!
--Whoa, what the...? -That looks painful!
My, my...
I don't mind you doing this to me, but keep your hands off the others...!
Shut your mouth, you bastard!
I didn't expect this! I'll have to re-think my tactics.
K- Kuwabara-san! Your face!
I got attacked by those dimwits from Kasanegafuchi, but I didn't hit them!
Kuwabara-san...
Patience, you know, patience!
Kuwabara!
What happened to your face?
I'll tell you right now, I wasn't fighting!
Well, okay then. Yesterday, I was conferring with the other sensei afterward,
and they said my punishment was too light.
What!?
I will have you observe one other condition.
Three days from now, on my science test, you must all get 50 points or higher!
Ah!? 50 points on the science test!?
Got that?
If even one of you gets any less than that, the job becomes off-limits!
Idiot! In that case, with a little bit of studying, it'll be an easy victory!
I got 45 points on the last test, after all.
We've won! I got 52 points! Okubo, what about you?
I got 39 points, so if I work at it...
Kuwabara-san, you've got nothing to worry about, huh?
Me?
7 points!
What's this!? Kuwabara, you rat, you're even dumber than I am, aren't you!?
Oh yeah? How many points did you get?
12 points!
Ah, mercy be...!
Fools, don't worry about it! When I put my mind to it, even I can pull through.
If I just study instead of sleeping, it'll be fine!
Is this going to be all right?
Kuwabara-san sure looks serious like that.
If he keeps studying using that beat-up head of his, it'll kill him!
This worries me.
Hmph! No matter how much you study,
there's no way you can score 50 points or more with that brain of yours.
Kuwabara, you really are studying, huh?
Kuwabara of Sarayashiki Middle School, are you studying?
How lucky of us to find you here!
We're gonna pay you back for what you did earlier!
Y- yeah! But I won't hit you. Once you've satisfied yourself hitting me,
beat it on back to wherever you came from!
That suits us fine!
Come on, come on! This way!
Wah! Kuwabara-san!
You don't need to worry over my job any more!
Who beat you up like that? Let's go get them!
Relax, relax, this is nothing! Compared to Urameshi's punches and kicks,
this is no big deal!
Kuwabara...
Never mind me, you guys be sure to study hard!
"When direct current runs through a potassium iodide solution..."
Kuwabara-kun is quite the man, all right!
He's not bad. Out of everyone I fought, he had the most backbone, you know.
Ah! Here I get worried and come look, and sure enough, I find him like this!
Kuwabara! Kuwabara! Hey, Kuwabara! The test is tomorrow!
This is hopeless. I guess I gotta appear in his dreams.
Huh? Where am I?
Urameshi! Fight me, fight me! Let's settle this!
Hold on, hold on! Before we do that, you've got science to study, don't you!?
Science? Wah! You're right! Science is more important that fighting right now!
Why is blood red?
That one's easy! 'Cause it has red blood cells.
What is its pigment?
Hemoglobin!
Why does blood clot?
...'Cause it has platelets...
All right! All right!
"Carbon dioxide and oxygen mix..."
Hey, he's here! It's Kuwabara!
I hear that if anyone fights him these days, he doesn't hit back!
Let's go have our fill of fun with him!
--Hey, wait up! -Hold on, Kuwabara!
Hey, Kuwabara!!
Hold it, you!
Hey, hey! I went to a lot of trouble cramming that stuff into him all night!
If they beat him up now, it'll all come spilling out! Damn!
Hold on, you guys!!
Hey, what are you doing!?
It's just that-- I got this strange feeling. Why don't we call it off?
What are you talking about!? Let's go!
You bastards!
Dammit!
--That sounds kind of funny to me! -Really!
Move it! Out of the way!
Hey, wait!!
Misako! Misako!
She's just knocked out, is she?
All right! Botan told me that I can't just go into people's bodies recklessly,
but under the circumstances...!
Hey, you!
What's happened to you, Misako?
M- Misako!
Didn't you hear me!?
Hey, wait up!
Give it up!
What's all this?
It means I'm taking you on!
The way you guys act utterly makes me wanna puke!
Ah, that was refreshing!
Where's Kuwabara?
Ha! What's all this!?
I memorized this one... Why can't I remember?
Kuwabara! Remember the dream you had yesterday!
That's it! That's it!
Okubo, I got 50 points!
Really, Kuwabara-san?
Yeah! You know, I wrote down my answers on the problem sheet as well.
I checked the answers myself again and again, and there's no doubt about it,
this time I got 53 points!
Kuwabara-san!
You did it, didn't you Kuwabara-san!?
Yeah, I suppose. I made a man's promise, you know.
Kuwabara, you've really done well!
W- what!? Kuwabara's scored more than 50 points!
If only he'd missed one more on me! Now all of my plans will come to no effect!
Akakshi-sensei, it's simple!
There was never any answer written here in the first place! Now everything's fine!
I see...!
H- how!?
Too bad, huh, Kuwabara?
You couldn't handle it after all. It was just a wasted effort, huh?
T- this can't be!
A promise is a promise. I'll have to have Okubo give up his job!
This can't be right! It should be 53 points...
This is strange! I'm positive I wrote down the last answer!
You bastard! You erased it!
Akashi, you rotten...!
Wait up, you bastard!
Why, you!
Stop it, Kuwabara! Stop!
You've worked so hard for Okubo, haven't you!? You've endured so much!
If you hit him, it'll be all for nothing!
Kuwabara!
If you had hit me, that would have settled it for sure, but your score was 48 points,
no matter how hard you contend!
Are you okay, Akashi-kun?
Did you see that, Takenaka-sensei? How rough Kuwabara was with me?
Yeah. But I think what you and Iwamoto-kun did
to Kuwabara's answer sheet was pretty rough as well.
H- how did you...?
I'd like to hit you in Kuwabara's place, but that would just throw water on his spirits,
which he's finally gotten so fired up!
Now you fix his grade right away!
Right!
Kuwabara-san!
I got permission to continue my job!
Takenaka-sensei said we all scored over 50 points!
O- oh yeah!?
Kuwabara-san, you really came through for me! I'm so happy!
It was no big deal!
I jumped in and tried to stop him, but I was surprised he could hear me.
He probably couldn't have been able to hear your voice.
But...
Even if he couldn't hear your voice, if you share the same thoughts between you,
your feelings would get through!
What you felt must have gotten across to him!
To Kuwabara!? Don't say such a disgusting thing!
Aw, it's nothing to be self-conscious about, is it?
Don't tell me, Kuwabara there has caught on to us!
Nope. He may be able to sense that there's someone here,
but he certainly can't see us or hear our voices!
Thank you, man.
Kuwabara-san, who were you just talking to?
Huh? Oh, no one...
I'm in an absolute pinch!
An arsonist has set fire to my house!
As things are, my body is gonna get burned up!
And it's the one time when there's nobody around! Damn, it's too late!
Ah! Keiko has leapt into the middle of the fire! My body doesn't matter!
Come back out of there immediately, Keiko!
Next time, "Hot Flames!! Ties of the Beloved"
The Other World's not watching for nothing!
The second hand is sharp again tonight, as it chops up time,
Chi chi chi...
I'll never be able to finish this homework, so I toss it away!
Son of a gun!
It's the dreams that tumble away, oh,
That are the ones I want to go after,
And if I stop, they will get away, oh,
So I can't ease up on them!
It's the dreams that tumble away, oh...!
