"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 has died in a car accident. To come back to life again,
he had to return the egg of a Reikai-ju,
a Spirit Realm Beast which feeds on the energy given off by human hearts.
However, Yusuke used this energy in order to save Keiko
as she was enveloped in flames.
Nevertheless, Koenma accepted the action he took,
forsaking his own life in order to rescue Keiko,
and Yusuke came to be allowed to return to life!
"Yusuke's Resurrection! A New Trial"
How can someone put us off this long!?
We haven't heard a word from him since then!
Well, Koenma-sama is a busy person, too, you know.
He's such a puny brat, yet he goes on so importantly about everything he says!
At least he could keep his appointments!
That "puny brat" bit was uncalled-for.
K- Koenma!
Yo!
What do you mean, "Yo!?" You scared the mmph-!
So, Koenma-sama, how soon is it that Yusuke can return to his body?
Mm, about that, it turns out we have some urgent business.
Come with me!
What's this? We're at the house I just moved to, aren't we?
Are you letting me return to life right away, then?
Just take it easy.
There's these things called wavelengths within your spirit and body, see?
Unless these wavelengths match precisely, I cannot return you to life.
That will happen tomorrow.
Oh! Then tomorrow I'll become a flesh-and-blood person again!? All right!
Don't be too pleased just yet.
In your case, the wavelengths have a period far longer than regular humans, you see?
If you miss tomorrow, the next time is an incredibly long ways away.
How far away are we talking? About a month?
--Fifty years. --F- fifty years!?
Right. So you can't miss your chance tomorrow
under any circumstances, can you?
What's more, for you to be resurrected,
you have to have some life energy blown into you by a living person.
Blown in, you say? How is that done?
Isn't it obvious?
From mouth to mouth is how! Mouth to mouth!
What!?
What are you so surprised about? It's a common practice in lifesaving, you know!
Yeah, but...!
All right.
What are you doing there!?
I'm opening the pathways so that power from the Spirit Realm can be conferred.
In the morning, your body will come to have a golden glow.
Now, you have to deliver a message through the dreams
of the three people who ardently desire you to return to life.
Just one of the three has to understand your message
and act on it within the next 24 hours.
Three people?
Empty already, huh? So then, why don't I go out drinking? Yeah.
Yusuke, I'm going out for a bit, okay?
Keep a good watch over the house, now!
One of them is your mother, who just left.
That won't work!
She'll be out drinking all night for the next three days straight!
Who are the other two, then?
Naturally, they're the people closest to you.
Closest, you say? One of them has to be Keiko, right? And the other one...
W- what a terrible dream I just had!
"Censored"
He's not glowing, huh?
I guess it was just an ordinary dream after all.
Oh my, no...
Hey, she left without noticing it!
The power from the Spirit Realm enters through the feet and gradually moves up.
Your whole body won't glow until after noon.
I can't rely on the other two, and Keiko is in school until this evening...
All I can do is wait, then.
Photosynthesis is the process by which the chloroplasts in green plants
absorb the energy of light...
Kuwabara-kun is absent, huh? I wanted to ask him about the dream.
Yukimura! Is Yukimura here!?
Yes!
Come at once! Your mother has fallen ill!
"City Hospital"
Fatigue, along with the cold, have weakened her considerably,
but if she rests well through the whole day, you needn't worry.
Forgive us for imposing such inconvenience!
Keiko, he said there's nothing to worry 'bout. What do you say we go home?
Mm-mm. I'm staying here until she wakes up.
What bad luck at a time like this! If it's really not a serious illness,
then she should be looking after Yusuke...
When her ma is down, she's not the kind to think about anything else.
Hey!
The power from the Spirit Realm has been completely filled in.
All that remains is the living energy.
"Las Megas"
Outta my way, you pest!
He's here. He's here!
Hey, Kuwabara! This is no time for you to be playing games!
Much as I hate this, you'll have to do! Please, you gotta kiss me!
Aa! Yea! Yea! That's it!
You bastard!
What was that... chill just now?
Yes! He felt my Reiki! Please, you've gotta figure it out!
I'm freezing! Better go take a leak.
Doesn't look like it worked.
That rotten punk!
Hey! Are you listening to me! Come on!
How can you be out drinking sake when your own son is about to come back to life!?
--Atsuko-san, you sure can hold your liquor! --You've downed another bottle!
Ooh! Lesshee how musch I can drink!
Wow, how cool!
Ha! Bring me another!
This is no use!
We'll have to compel Keiko-chan to leave the hospital early after all!
But she doesn't seem to have any spiritual sensitivity about her...
What are you planning to do? It's 11:45!
Fifteen minutes left, huh?
If only there were some way to tell Keiko-chan...
It's too soon to give up yet!
Hey, Botan!
Just wait there! I have an idea!
What's up with her?
Look at the time!
Y- Yusuke...
Yusuke...
Go to... Yusuke's place...
Hurry... There's no time...
If you don't... kiss him before 12 o'clock... Yusuke cannot... return to life...
Don't tell me then, that dream was...!
Five minutes left.
If she doesn't make it in time, what are you planning to do?
I can't very well make Keiko wait 50 years.
If it happens, I'll give her up like a man.
Keiko!
I told Keiko through her mother by communicating through her spirit!
Is she gonna make it!?
It's 11:57.
Hurry! There's no time!
It's 11:58.
It's not here! My key's not here!
Is she not going to make it?
Ah, dammit!
There's light...!
Yusuke!
Keiko!
Come back, Yusuke...
Please... Please...!
I- it can't be... It can't be...!
--Yusuke!! --She didn't make it, then?
Huh?
Yo! Good morning!
Yusuke!
Great, great! Looks like she made it just in time!
This case is closed, right?
What are you talking about, Botan? The real trial begins now.
It's going to be hard for him.
It won't even compare to what he went through while floating through the sky.
The air here in this world sure is nice. Yeah! It's good to be alive!
Hey there, bro. Could you lend us some money?
We lost our wallets, see, so we're kind of having a hard time.
When one of us is having a hard time, we all are, right?
All the money you have on you will be fine.
Are you talking to me?
Then you can see me!
Who else is here beside you!?
I can touch people, and hold conversations! Ah, it sure is wonderful to be alive!
Hey, you, don't mess with us!
Hold on, picking on the crazy is asking for trouble!
Ahem...
Over here, over here. Do you have a moment?
--Are you talking to me? --Yes.
What is it?
You were born under a very unusual star, huh?
You are somewhat different from ordinary people.
Yeah, I suppose.
I bet she'd be surprised if I told her I was a ghost until just recently.
You have a remarkably great mission.
Ah, hold on, I still have more to say!
Sorry, but I don't wanna have anything to do with mysticism or spirits for a while.
How about I have some coffee?
Did you see those guys in there, from Kasanegabuchi Middle School?
Yeah. They've been coming here a lot lately.
Apparently they're here to stick it to Kuwabara and them from our school,
and take over the whole area!
If only Urameshi Yusuke were still alive...
Those are the guys from Kasanegabuchi Middle, all right.
They sure have expanded their influence while I've been away.
Thank you for waiting.
Judging by the way they're sitting, that guy would have to be the boss.
What the hell are those horn-looking things!?
I hope it's just my imagination...
Sheesh, Kuwabara's late!
Hey, you don't think he's blowing us off, do you?
You're sure Kuwabara will follow your instructions?
Absolutely! After all, I've got the trump card.
To prove it, I told him and his friends to steal some manga books
on their way and bring them here.
That's bull! He would never shoplift or mug anyone or anything like that. Idiot!
Eikichi!? Where is Eikichi!? Bring him out, now!
Just relax, Kuwa-chan. More importantly, did you bring what you promised?
Here!
It couldn't be...!
There, I've given them to you! Now give back Eikichi!
Hey, I told you to steal these!
What's the meaning of this receipt?
As long as I brought them, what does it matter if I bought or stole them!?
You're an idiot! I meant to have you enjoy the thrill of shoplifting!
You haven't kept your promise, huh?
Apologize.
Prostrate yourself! Say, "I'm sorry I broke the promise."
--W- why, you...! --Don't get carried away!
Stop it!
K- Kuwabara-san!
I- I'm sorry I broke the promise.
Come on, we can't hear you!
I am sorry!
K- Kuwabara! You would go through all of that for this Eikichi guy?
--How pathetic! --He seriously went through with it!
Is a kitten this little really that important to you?
Aah!! Eikichi!!
Please! Don't do anything to Eikichi!
Geez, to think this guy is the head boss at Sarayashiki Middle School!
Jerks! Don't you get too full of yourselves!
Kuwabara-san could ordinarily knock all these guys flat...
Let's not be unreasonable. Kuwabara-san really loves his cats.
--Particularly Eikichi there. --Ah! S- stop that!
How about it? In order to enjoy yourself to the fullest,
how bad you can be is most important. "Evil wins in the end," after all.
On that point, that last head boss, Urameshi, was awfully wicked!
We even had trouble dealing with him!
Yeah, and then he died trying to save some kid!
Who cares about some dead guy?
Never mind him, let's go have us some fun outside!
What are you planning to do in a place like this?
I'll do anything, just give me back Eikichi!
Okay, here's your last instruction. Beat those guys!
What!?
They've been giving me an extraordinarily detestable look for a while now.
Beat them until I say it's enough!
Well, get started!
That's... that's something I absolutely cannot do!
Eikichi!
Beat them! Don't you care what happens to the cat?
Kuwabara-san! Please, beat us!
Once we get Eikichi back safely, we can pay them back many times over!
We don't mind it!
I said I can't do it!
And I said beat them!
What the hell are you doing!?
Who are you!?
Yo!
U- Urameshi! You're supposed to be dead...!
Have you really come back!?
Yeah! I have returned from Hell!
--Hey! --Right!
This is for everything you've done to me, you piece of crap! Don't toy with me!
Here! Put him somewhere safe!
Shut up, I know!
Damn!
Yeesh, you're running out on your pals, then?
Hey, you're not getting away!
You son of a bitch!
Using an animal as a shield, and abandoning your friends--
you're one unbelievable bastard!
What have we here?
W- what?
Impossible! Regular humans shouldn't be able to see me!
And it should be utterly impossible for you to capture me!
What a strange little pinworm! It even talks!
Y- you even understand what I'm saying!?
That there is a Jaki.
He is a wanted criminal with 5 previous convictions. In the Spirit Realm, that is.
He takes hold of the evil part of a human's heart,
and influences people to take the wrong path.
You're that fortune teller from earlier!
Only those with a diseased soul
are susceptible to being taken advantage of by a Jaki, you see.
You know, for you to have captured the criminal
before I was able to tell you what your mission was is quite surprising!
What?
You are plenty qualified to be a Reikai Tantei, a Spirit Realm Detective!
Spirit Realm Detective? What's that?
The mission which you have been given. You must accept it.
What the hell is this? Who are you, anyway?
Who, me? Don't you remember?
Ah! It's you!
I am Asst. Detective Botan-chan! Pleased to meet you!
What's going on?
Urameshi Yusuke!
I told you, didn't I? Once you've returned to life, that's when the real trial begins.
Solving cases like this one,
where there is a background involving the Spirit Realm complicating it--
That is the task you have been given.
Instructions from the Spirit Realm concerning your cases
will be conveyed to you by Botan, your assistant detective.
You will work as a Spirit Realm Detective
according to those instructions. Understood?
Hey!
So then, you can leave this guy to me.
I'll stick him in a safe or something and escort him to the Spirit Realm!
Hey, hold on! I still...!
Be sure to eagerly fulfill your duties
as Spirit Realm Detective from here on out, now!
I've returned to my body now, and by returning,
it looks like things are gonna get troublesome again!
Hiei, whose identity is unclear...
Kurama, who turns up all over the place...
Goki, the vicious criminal of the Spirit Realm...
These guys stole some of the Spirit Realm's dark devices,
and escaped to the Human Realm!
If they aren't stopped, then the Human Realm will be ruled by them!
That's where I come in! Just watch, I'll crush all three of them!
Next time, "The Three Yokai! Hiei, Kurama, Goki"
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...!
