"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!
The Urameshi Team fights Marks M-1, M-2 and M-3,
humans who have been turned into killing machines, in a Battle Royale!
However, they were only young men with pure hearts who fell into a trap laid by the unscrupulous Dr. Ichigaki,
in order to save their own master's life.
Ichigaki is manipulating them at his will
via the blood-controlling humps on their backs.
Sympathetic to his opponents, and having ceased attacking,
Kuwabara had been knocked out.
Can Yusuke possibly overcome this predicament!?
"Ambition Crushed! A Baptism By Light"
Please, kill us...
Please...
...kill us...
It certainly is terrible! Having to be controlled by a lowlife like that!
His spiritual power is rising!
To think that his spiritual level rises with his anger!
I'd rather be dead!
Hound Claw!!
I see it! His Reiki!
Angel Chakram!!
I see it! This guy uses his Reiki like a long bo-staff, huh?
Swing Crash!!
Oh, my! How can this be, Contestant Urameshi!?
He is moving as though he had been faking a tight contest up until now!
Reiki has returned throughout his whole body!
I've never seen anyone recover so quickly!
However...
Go on ahead and wait for me there!
I'll send you a proper apology from Hell!
Don't do it!
My arm! I can't move it!
I will take care of this.
Oh, my! From out of nowhere,
The Masked Contestant has re-fastened her torn mask!
She stopped Contestant Urameshi!
Is she planning on facing the three of them alone?
What could Mask be planning to do?
They have no sin upon them!
It's just that they're being controlled.
I know. They realize what position they are placed in,
and they are yearning for the others to kill them.
Are they going to kill such people? They can't!
I'm sure that Mask must be having some deep thoughts.
Kuwabara-kun!
What's happening?
Mask is facing the three of them!
S- she must not kill them!
Of course not! Ichigaki is the one to blame, after all!
There's no way she can do them in. They're humans!
Even though they are humans who are being controlled!
What the hell is she planning to do?
Meiin metsuju ressai kohaku!! Kyo chojin komei eikyaku!!
Oh, my, Masked Contestant!
Is this a prayer for the dying directed toward yourself!?
That's awesome Reiki!
T- this Reiki!
This is just a ruse! Who cares!?
Go on, my adorable killing machines! Send them all to hell!
Oh, dear! The Ichigaki Team
is attacking the defenseless Masked Contestant all at once!
Ko!!
Jo!!
Sai!!
Awesome! In one instant, she snuffed out their Reiki!
And their lives, as well.
What a technique!
Impossible! S- she killed them! And she did it so easily!
Hey! What did you kill them for!?
Their Reiki has disappeared, hasn't it!?
If I hadn't done that technique,
it would have been me that was killed.
Oh, my! What in the world has happened!?
They're down! They are down!
And since apparently it happened at the same time,
I will take their counts together!
1...
2...
What terrible power!
B- but to kill them is too much!
They were only being controlled by Dr. Ichigaki!
8...
9...
10!! The Urameshi Team has won!
As a result, it is decided that the Urameshi Team will advance
to the second round of the tournament finals!
Shut up! The aftertaste of this is bad enough!
W- won, she says?
If they've died, then nothing has come of this!
I am not about to win in such a sickening way!
Hey, you!
You are definitely gonna pay for this!
You do understand, don't you?
What a cruel thing you have done?
Y- you're sure about this? If you kill me, then their master dies too!
I'm the only one who knows where he is, and how to produce his antidote!
Is that so?
W- why, you!
W- what are you doing here!?
We asked your assistant.
Well? Where are you holding their master!?
You won't spit it out, huh!?
H- he's on this island.
He told us everything right away.
Even the place where you had him confined.
As for the antidote,
Kurama just had to look at his symptoms, and he created one easily.
Shall we try out some more virulent herbs now? On your body?
Are you ready?
You bastard scum!?
You fools! Do you think I am going to be done in by the likes of you all!?
And now, the terror of Dr. Ichigaki's genius...
...will be made known to you!
Oh, my! How can this be!?
Dr. Ichigaki has turned into a tremendous monster!
You dared to ruin my precious experimental subjects!
Now, witness the power of my spectral battle solution!
Oh, dear! Dr. Ichigaki unexpectedly attacks!
Yusuke!
Wait!
I'm going to kill him!
Contestant Urameshi, although wounded,
stands to face him with insurmountable fortitude!
As he turns away Contestant Hiei's aid,
will he challenge the monster that Dr. Ichigaki has become alone?
Whatever you want.
Interesting! Now you will die!
What!?
That was for those three!
And this...
...is for their master!
Yusuke!
While I'm at it, this is for he who was sympathetic to them,
and let himself be beaten without defending himself, Kuwabara!
While you're at it? What do you mean, while you're at it?
And this...
...is for me!!
Now that I've knocked you to pieces, think about what you've done, you big jackass!
H- he annihilated Dr. Ichigaki!
And in awe of his punch, the booing of the arena has fallen silent!
I- incredible!
You blew him away! Incredible, Yusuke!
S- still, even by defeating Ichigaki, it will not bring those three back.
En...
Ryo...
Kai...
What can I say to you to apologize for this?
There's nothing to grieve over.
It's not as though they were dead.
What did you say?
W- what's this?
You guys!
We're... alive?
W- what!? They're alive!?
We're alive!
We are alive!
I can't believe it! I'm sure their Reiki had completely vanished!
It looks as though it turned out right.
It's been twenty years since I did that technique, and I was a bit concerned.
En! Ryo! Kai!
M- Master!
Please, do not come!
By our hand, we have committed misdeeds for which we are unable to fully atone!
How many people have we laid our hands on up until we entered this tournament?
We cannot show our faces to you, Master!
Rather, if we could instead be killed as we are!
Y- you fools!
Don't go saying anything so ridiculous!
That technique earlier was one of the five grand techniques of the Reikohado-ken method.
The secret Shunoken Strike of Discipline! It is a harsh technique,
whereby your own hearts were asked to pass judgment on your individual guilt,
and your bodies asked to impose punishment.
If your hearts are corrupt, your bodies would have been destroyed.
On the other hand, if your hearts are pure,
it would have purged the evil parts of your bodies.
You defeated those blood- controlling humps yourselves.
I did nothing more than give you the chance to do so.
En, Ryo, Kai, I believed in you! In your true, real souls!
And that even if your bodies had been taken from you temporarily,
deep in your hearts, you remained unclouded.
I expect that I understand that better than anyone.
And so, I beg you...
Don't say that you're going to die!
Master!
Master, we're really very grateful that you are feeling well!
The same goes for you! Your safety is the most important thing to me!
That really was one hell of a technique!
Everything really turned out fine.
I'm so glad!
I'm glad! I'm so very glad!
I'm glad I didn't fight back!
It makes it worth having been knocked out!
With quite a dramatic ending,
it is decided that the Urameshi Team will proceed to the third round.
However, as a result,
Contestant Kuwabara has taken some considerably serious injuries!
How's Kuwabara? Is he okay?
It's no good!
It will take quite a bit of time before he regains his strength.
Kuwabara...
You guys!
I- I have a favor to ask.
I want to make up for what we did to him.
Let me fight in his place as a member of your team!
I'm glad you feel that way, but if I did that,
this guy would send me flying.
B- but!
Besides, we only get one alternate, and that's only if somebody dies.
And I'm not dead yet!
We know that!
Ah, thanks!
Those are the rules of the tournament.
I- is that right?
Never mind about us, you go take care of your master!
Okay?
Mm-hmm! Thanks! Good luck!
Dammit! They survived again, huh!?
We're not going to be satisfied until at least one of them bites the dust!
Kill them! Kill them!
Geez, how annoying!
I have an announcement from the administrative office.
We will now hold the third round of the tournament!
What!?
Once again, we will now hold the third round of the tournament.
The competing teams will be...
the Urameshi Team and the Mashotsukai Team.
What is this!?
You bastards!
Now, look! What do you mean by this!? We hadn't heard about it!
P- pardon me, but I'm only the emcee,
hired to keep things going according to schedule, as I am directed!
Hey, way to go, way to go! Nice judgment!
Those guys are all worn out!
Make them suffer thoroughly, and then torture them to death!
Kill them!
This is bad. After using the Discipline secret technique,
my remaining spiritual power is limited.
Fighting too hard is rough, even on me.
Aw, that is cruel, huh Urameshi?
However, if I can't get you to overcome this much...
All right, we'll do it, then!
I'm still worked up over what happened with Ichigaki!
Botan-chan, I need a favor!
What is it?
Take me over to where Urameshi and the others are.
What are you saying!? You don't have any power left to fight!
You need to heal from your injuries first!
I am a member of the Urameshi Team!
I can't very well be lying down here alone while the rest of them are out fighting!
And so, the Mashotsukai Team will come forward!
Just as one would expect of the Mashotsukai Team!
"Messenger of Malevolence Team" Even the way they appeared was debonair!
So you're here, huh? You think you're so marvelous!
Having somehow weathered the difficulties of the second round,
Yusuke and the others are given no time to rest,
and are forced to fight consecutive battles!
Their opponent is the Mashotsukai Team.
What kind of battle will unfold now?
Having finished the second round, the Mashotsukai Team,
stealthy figures from the Demon Realm, await us.
The first one to come forward is the makeup-user of darkness, Gama.
Hey, Kurama, watch out for that mysterious brush that he carries!
There's something about it...
...it's putting out some kind of dangerous Yoki! Proceed carefully!
Next time: "Stealthy Figures of Darkness--The Mashotsukai Team"
The Other World's not watching 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.
