"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 Mashotsukai Team's Jin used the wind to perform aerial techniques,
and scored a leadoff attack against Yusuke.
Yusuke attacked the Shura sempu-ken technique that Jin used head-on,
and both of them were thrown from the ring.
However, Jin created tornadoes on both arms,
and prepared to launch a second wave offensive!
What will you do, Yusuke?
Teikodan! An Unexpected Conclusion?!
Urameshi Yusuke! You're the first one to ever give me this much fun!
Sure enough, I can't stand up to him like that
when I can only shoot my Tei-gun from my right hand!
W- what kind of pose is that!?
He's planning on performing that technique?
That technique?
In contrast to the Tei-gun, which concentrates Teiki into a point on the fingertip,
this technique has to raise the entire body's Teiki to its full power.
Yusuke has already shot his Tei-gun three times.
Since it's based on the same principle, he can only use this technique once!
Yusuke...
Even though this may be the only possible way he can win against Jin,
he's still a gambler through and through.
There's tremendous Teiki pouring out of Yusuke's whole body!
What in the world could he be planning to do, Koenma-sama?
I can't tell what you mean by "Hmm..."
Come on, if you know, please don't act so important, and tell me!
You just sit there with your pacifier, acting so big!
Give me this thing! I hate you!
What's this?
Good Luck Yusuke
Being disliked by you would make me feel lonesome,
so I thought I'd try playing "Koenma the Scamp!"
I really do hate him...
Awesome! His whole body is brimmin' with the power of a typhoon!
This is gonna be fun!
I am so excited!
Okay, come on, Jin!
Let's fight!
Yusuke!
Jin's going to win!
It seems the moment of decision has come.
Shura senpu-ken!!
He defended against my Shura senpu-ken!
Damn it all!
He blocked the punch with his left hand, then deflected it away!
I'm not done yet!
Y- you're using your foot!?
Take this!
Teikodan!! Spirit Light Cannonball
Oh! A clean hit!
There was so much force, I started dancing without even realizing it!
It's over! That clinched it!
That wretched Yusuke! He really thought that one out!
Teikodan, huh?
Kuwa-chan, did you know about this?
It was similar to his Shotgun, but I didn't know he could use it like that.
However, how did it turn out? I cannot locate Contestant Jin!
Has he escaped into the air again?
Has Yusuke won?
Keiko-chan, let's take cover!
Quickly!
O- okay...
Where in the world is Jin?
Keiko!
It's okay! They took shelter!
The whole area where we were!
Contestant Jin has smashed into the spectator seats without using his wind!
I- I will make the count!
That wretched Yusuke! He still had that trick, did he?
He performed it well, for his first time.
The Teikodan does have an inordinate amount of Teiki power,
but it's the same as the technique he calls his Shotgun.
Even from a distance, the shockwave is enough to defeat an opponent, if they're weak.
However, it doesn't have the same force as the Tei-gun.
But the way he did it just now,
right as he made contact with his opponent's body,
it's a technique that exhibits some real force.
Now then, if he still hasn't defeated Jin after doing that...
3... 4...
6...
7...
Are you coming?
9...
That was a nice punch!
You sure are strong!
10!!
Ringout ten-count! Contestant Urameshi is the victor!
Jin! You're the one who's strong! You gave me a plenty of entertainment!
If you get a chance, let's fight again!
You've won, then!
You guys! Why don't you cheer for our side for a change!
Yusuke won...
Can you stand up, Keiko-chan?
Yeah!
Huh? Where are you going?
After being so tense, nature is calling.
I have to go now, while I can.
Ah, wait up!
Look what you've done! There's only one of you left, right!?
And it was five against two!
Hey, Risho!
You're okay aren't you? I've bet all my holdings on you guys to win,
as well as on your tournament entry fees!
My opponent is already worn out. There is nothing to worry about.
But still...
Well, if you're that worried, there is one sure way for us to win...
What? A sure way for us to win?
And now, there is one person left on each side!
Whichever team wins this will proceed to the semifinals!
Oh, what have we here?
Who are you!?
I am Yukina, from the Land of Glaciers.
Achoo!
Um, what is all the excitement about?
There aren't any tickets, dammit!
I'd buy one marked up ten-times, or even fifty-times! Doesn't anyone have any tickets!?
Aah! I can't stand it any longer!
That is a problem. Without a ticket, you cannot get in, huh?
Will the Mashotsukai Team captain come forward!
It's Risho!
Risho, said to be the terrible head of the Mashotsukai Team!
Crush that human!
We will now hold the final battle!
Their captain is up at last...
Urameshi Yusuke, you will lose without laying so much as a finger on me.
What!?
Begin!
This will be fun! I'll put you to the test!
The match will come to a stop!
Stop, they say?
What does this mean?
There is a protest from the head office in the VIP seats.
Dammit, what the hell is it?
In the previous match, between Jin and Urameshi,
when Contestant Urameshi landed out of the ring,
there is some question as to whether the referee was too slow in her count.
You mean me?
Upon deliberation...
Upon deliberation?
Contestants Jin and Urameshi will both be given ringout ten-counts,
and the match is declared a draw!
You're kidding!
A draw!? What the hell is this, for crying out loud!?
The match between Jin and Urameshi had both of them ringout, then?
I guess.
Did the count seem slow to you?
No, I thought it was the same as usual.
This is dirty! If Yusuke is unable to fight...
...and Hiei and Mask cannot compete...
...then the only one left on either team is Tisho!
The Urameshi Team has lost!
We've lost? That's impossible!
That's right!
What's the matter, referee? Declare them to be the losers!
T- this can't be...
I- I don't understand! I would ask that head office reconsider.
The decision will not be overturned.
All right! That's great! Nice going!
Both Kurama and Kuwabara are seriously injured,
and Hiei and Mask are disqualified from competition!
With Urameshi taken out in a draw, that doesn't leave anyone else!
That was dirty. That was dirty, indeed!
Risho...
I'm not satisfied winning like this either.
What are we supposed to tell Gama, who gave his life?
He fought fairly and squarely! As did Jin!
You'd best lose that pandering romanticism of yours!
I told you, our goal here is to win!
But...
Enough!
If we can easily win,
without having to needlessly kill each other, then that will do.
Now, what are you doing!? Why don't you declare us the victors?
I don't mind killing you, and having a new referee brought out!
B- but then... even so...
Do you know who it is that's most dissatisfied!? Do you!?
Yusuke, let them have the victory!
Just looking at him, you can see how foolish and meaningless their games are, right?
There's no reason for us to play by their rules.
From now on, I'm playing by my rules. There will be a survival game,
and only those who are truly strong will live through it!
You're right... I'm this close to tearing him apart myself.
I'm with you, Hiei! Let's make a real show of running wild!
Get him! Get him!
Just a moment! You guys in the head office,
I'm going to be stripped naked like this!
I can no longer completely hold them within my peripheral realm!
You know, just this one time, I'm starting to feel like cheering Hiei on!
Me too.
Hang in there, Hiei! Hurry up and bust through that periphery! Go! Go!
That's some unusually enthusiastic cheering there, huh?
That's awfully indecorous of them, not to have restrooms out here, either!
Absolutely!
Huh?
What is it, Shizuru-san?
Forgive me, Keiko-chan, but would you go ask Botan-chan to come out here?
And be nice and quick about it, okay?
O- okay...
Say there, you're Yukina-chan, aren't you?
Yes. Um, and you are?
Me? I'm Kazuma's older sister, Shizuru.
Kazuma-san's sister!?
That's right! Nice to meet you.
I am the announcer, so I must go along with whatever the head office orders.
Since the Urameshi Team has no other contestants that are capable of fighting,
I must reluctantly...
...declare the Mashotsukai Team to be...
...to be... the winners!
You bastard!
Hold it!
There is a contestant capable of fighting!
W- what was that?
W- where? Where? Where? Koenma-sama, where?
Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where?
T- that fool Kuwabara! He couldn't be talking about me, right?
Shut up!!
Where is this guy!?
It's me!!
Kuwabara!
What are you talking about!? Your injuries are awful!
Do you realize what has happened to your body?
Kuwabara-kun...
Are you mad?
Thank goodness it wasn't me!
Still, what is Kuwabara thinking?
Koenma-sama!
Botan is leaving!
Never mind about Botan!
Right now, I'm worried about Kuwabara.
Hey! If you've been listening to yourselves for the past while,
you guys have completely forgotten about my existence!
Kuwabara, look at you!
During competition you have to go by the rules,
even if those rules are bogus!
Kuwabara, have you hurt your head, too?
What do you mean by that, huh!?
You see? This is crazy, you dumbass!
There's no one else... Ieft, is there!?
If you break loose against these guys just because you're disgusted at them,
you're no different than they are!
And if we win by beating these dirty guys while sticking to our principles,
that would look so cool, right?
Captain?
It sure would...
If you win, that is.
Shut the hell up, would you!
Well, well, isn't he just the perfect foil!
Botan-san! Hurry, hurry!
Huh? Keiko-chan, you're the one who called me?
Botan-san!
Oh, my! Yukina-chan!
Thank goodness!
You know, it's good of you to have come.
You're here to cheer for Kuwa-chan, right?
Yes. I've also gone through some training to raise my healing abilities higher than before.
I figured that if I could be of any assistance...
Mm-hmm! How splendid! A good example for all women!
However, I also have another big reason.
And that is?
I've learned that I have a brother.
Don't tell me that Yukina-chan has learned that Hiei is her brother!
So, I was thinking that if I could have the cooperation of Kazuma-san and the others,
who so kindly helped me before...
I have been allowed to stay in the Human Realm in order to search for my brother,
although there is a limit to my time.
Is that right? In that case, we'll help out as well. Right, Botan-chan?
Shizuru-san, you saw the video earlier! You know, don't you?
It's okay! I won't say anything.
But do you have any leads or anything? Photos, or so on?
No, nothing.
We're saved!
But for some reason, I get the feeling that he's close.
Gulp!
Those who know that Yukina-chan is Hiei's sister include myself,
Koenma-sama, Kurama, Shizuru-san, and Yusuke...
There sure are quite a few of us that know, aren't there?
Tell her, if you don't want to live.
This is bad! I'm the one who's most likely to say something!
Kazuma-san!
What in the world is going on?
Oh, that's right! I'll explain everything later,
but right now, things are terrible!
Whoever wins between Kuwa-chan and Risho,
that team will advanced to the semifinals!
But it looks like Kazuma-san is terribly hurt!
Excuse me...
W- what the hell are you doing!?
Out of the way! I can't see, you know!
What a surprise! It's true, he is still here!
Having been critically injured during the Ichigaki fight,
Contestant Kuwabara makes a gutsy comeback!
You will fight with me!
Both of you, to the center!
This is crazy!
It has to be all Kuwabara-kun can manage just to stand up!
Kuwabara!
Well, no matter.
It'll be an easy victory against that guy who doesn't know when to quit, after all.
This is an important task that doesn't come my way very often.
I'm a lucky man to be out here.
There's something wrong with your head. Is this how badly you want to die?
Try to kill me, then. I'm tough!
Match 6, Kuwabara versus Risho! Begin!
Suffering injuries throughout his body, and barely able to stand,
Kuwabara has no chance of winning!
Can Yusuke and the others do nothing but watch on silently?
Damn those bastards in the tournament head office!
That was a dirty trick they pulled!
No matter what happens, it looks like they don't want us to win!
Even so, after everyone has put their lives on the line to come this far in the battle,
I'm not about to let it end so easily!
Even if it costs me my life, Kuwabara the man is going to win this match!
Next time: "A Desperate Kuwabara! The Charge of Love"
I'll show you a man's willpower!
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.
