"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!
In the fifth match of the semifinals,
Genkai battled Shishiwakamaru, of the Uraotogi Team.
Having entrusted the Reikogyoku to Yusuke,
and with only a slight amount of spiritual power left to herself,
Genkai was forced into a difficult fight.
However, making use of the Reiko kyohan-sho, a secret measure for such a tight spot,
she was barely able to grasp victory!
And then, Kuwabara, who had recently returned,
came to fight the enemy captain, Onji.
Demon Battler Suzuki's Challenge!
All right! Come at me any time!
And so, semifinal match number 6, Kuwabara versus Onji! Begin!
Look what we've found here!
Sweetheart, stick around with us.
Now that we've left the stadium after all that commotion, we've got some free time.
Why, that's...
...Urameshi, isn't it?
This is the chance of a lifetime!
It looks like luck has turned our way!
If we kill this guy, we'll become heroes overnight!
See you in hell!!
W- who's there!?
R- Rinku!
C- Chu!
Jin and Toya as well!
Pardon our intrusion!
T- thank you very much!
This isn't so big a deal that you need to thank us.
He just happened to be passing by, that's all.
You big liar! Every day, you've been bugging us to go cheer for them!
Aw, he's got the happiest look on his face...
What's the matter?
He's gone and gotten even stronger!
Let's see...
You're right.
Next time we fight, I could be in trouble, even if I take it seriously.
As if you weren't serious the last time!
Shut up!
Looking at his face while he's asleep, he looks like just an ordinary kid.
That hurt, Keiko, you lousy...
Y- Yusuke...?
Stop forever treating me like I was a child, would you...?
That's great!
This is one couple that's well-matched!
I wouldn't think that Urameshi bastard would be so hen-pecked!
Now, please don't go jumping to any conclusions!
Dammit!
Come on, geezer!
No more mercy! Rei-ken!!
My, my, now you've taken something dangerous in hand.
What!?
What are you aiming at?
You bastard!
You're a dense fellow, huh?
Shut up, you!
Jittery little bastard!
Damn! How come I can't catch this old geezer!?
I can't very well show Yukina my good side like this!
Kazuma-san! Stay sharp!
Don't let him play you for a fool like that, Kazu!
You're going to get Yukina-chan to dislike you!
Huh? Why would he be disliked by me?
Oh, it's just that saying that will make Kuwabara-kun try harder!
This is odd...
Koenma-sama, you haven't been watching the match,
so what have you been doing for the past while?
I've been trying to predict the outcome of this match,
but no matter how many times I try, I always come up with the Joker.
The Joker?
I've got an uneasy feeling about this...
Not again! Where did you go this time!?
Over here, over here!
Why, you...! If all you do is scurry around running away,
this isn't much of a fight, you know!
In that case, come and get me!
What!?
I've grown a bit tired of moving around.
All right! You just stay right where you are! I'll put you to rest right now!
It's no good! This is a trap!
What?
What is this thing!?
Rei-ken!!
To think that he would fall into the trap on his own!
He truly is a fool.
No, he's a fool and an idiot.
Contestant Kuwabara has become sealed up inside the black sphere that Contestant Onji has produced!
Dammit, not again!
This is the true form of the Mantle of Death that Shishiwakamatu used.
Using fabric that was loaded with spectral power, space becomes blocked off,
while inside, an entrance to a different realm is created.
Though when it comes to me, I don't need to use any Item of Darkness to manage this.
Dammit, let me out! Let me out of here! Hey!
This was nothing more than the first act, as it were,
in order to gather enough people to form the Uraotogi Team.
The Items of Darkness were also just toys that I created for them,
to suit their various natures.
Since Contestant Kuwabara has disappeared, Contestant Onji is the winner!
Yukina-san!
I swallowed some snot...
Dammit! You mean I'm back where I started!? You've gotta be kidding!
I can't be seen by Yukina-san if I'm here! Just you wait there, you dirty geezer!
So then, who will be next? I have a hunch it will be Kurama's name that comes up.
If you beat me, then I won't mind telling you
the secret of the smoke from the Reverse Treasure Box that Uraurashima used.
Why don't you just hurry up and roll the die?
Mask
Ba-san, don't you lose...!
Ba-san...
You sure talk clearly in your sleep, the same as ever, huh Yusuke?
Looks like you're feeling better!
Are you sure you're okay? From the way you look, you must be pretty tired.
How about you put an end to that grating old-timer talk and disguise, already?
Disguise?
I don't know who you are, but if you're trying to take us off-guard with that old man get-up,
you've got the wrong opponent.
How well you've seen through me. And here I even changed the wavelength of my Yoki.
Disguises are a hobby of mine. Please don't think ill of me.
Very well. It pleases me to make your acquaintance.
The reason I disguised myself as an old man is because the elderly are the creatures that I hate most.
By becoming the thing which I hate most,
I raise my fighting spirit even higher, you see.
Old age is ugly. I plan to be dead before it happens to me...
while I'm still beautiful.
However, before then, I will create a legend
-a terrifying myth, in which I play the main role!
My victory at this tournament will be the first chapter of this legend.
And everyone who bears witness to this tournament will be my narrators!
I may be late in introducing myself,
but I am a man of a thousand forms and a thousand techniques,
the beautiful Demon Battler Suzuki! The beautiful Demon Battler Suzuki!
We heard you without having to say it twice, Demon Battler Suzuki-san!
When you say my name, you will not forget to place the word "beautiful" before it!
"Beautiful" is a word that was meant for me.
Idiot.
What brazen, ridiculous nonsense!
I'm embarrassed just looking at him.
So he's the Joker, huh?
Then he's the guy?
In a complete turnaround from when he was Onji,
Contestant Suzuki is dressed in an unusual... no, a flamboyant outfit!
H- he's dead...
I thought I said to put the word "beautiful" before my name!
That's it! I can do that!
What's the matter?
Hey! From now on, when you address me, you will first say the word "pretty."
Got that?
Starting today, I will be "Pretty Koenma!"
"Pretty Koenma?" That sounds stupid.
For someone so fussy about your beauty,
I can't understand why you would hide your face.
Do you have that little faith in your looks?
My colossal legend will last forever! My bare face is not necessary to this legend.
People fear that whose appearance is unknown,
and are enchanted by them to imagine they look like this or that.
God and the Devil are the greatest examples of this, are they not?
A hundred years from now, people will talk like this:
"I'm sure that the most beautiful, mighty, and fearsome Demon Battler Suzuki looked like this!"
"No, I think it was like this."
"Oh, no, not at all. I'm sure it was like this."
Just thinking about it makes me all thrilled and excited!
He laughs too much.
What does he think is so funny?
My beautiful self will make this declaration:
The morning after I am victorious,
the first thing I will do is to kill all of the elderly!
I will kill anyone that goes against that!
I will grant the right to live only to those who will follow me!
What are you talking about!?
Who do you think is going to follow you!? You're dreaming!
That's right, that's right!
Don't be absurd!
I'm quite serious.
T- that's outrageous, what he just did!
I can't cheer for either one of them now!
Miserable Mad Pierrot.
Have you learned your lesson, now?
Is it okay for me to begin?
Get us started right away!
Okay then, begin!
I'll warn you now, that Reiko kyohan-sho thing that you used on Shishiwakamaru will not work against me.
That technique requires that both of your Ki be at the same wavelength,
or you can't use it, right?
However, I am able to change the wavelength of my Yoki at will.
See?
You can see for yourself. There is no way that you can draw in my Yoki like this!
Behold, my beautiful finishing move...!
Rainbow Cyclone!!
Take this!
Master Genkai!
Suzuki... I mean, Contestant Beautiful Demon Battler Suzuki's attack has completely connected!
Contestant Genkai has disappeared out of bounds. Is she...?
A finishing move with seven colored Yoki of differing wavelengths!
Oh, how beautiful! This is my favorite from among all of my techniques!
Hey, are you listening to me!?
Ringout down! I will begin the count!
My, my, is this over already?
And here I wanted to show off my other 999 techniques.
Oh, my! Contestant Genkai is still alive!
It appears that she has not suffered so much as a scratch...
...from Contestant Beautiful Demon Battler Suzuki's attack!
Oh, you're pretty tough, huh?
You have quite a comely nose yourself, don't you?
Wouldn't it be easier to establish your legend with your face bared?
W- when did she manage to...?
To think that he didn't notice such an obvious afterimage...!
That's just ridiculous.
Kuwabara-kun!
The fool of the Urameshi Team makes his entrance, huh?
Hey, what happened to my opponent?
You're right. You might be just perfect for that idiot.
What? What are you talking about?
How long are you going to stand there frozen before you're happy?
Why, you...! When did you take it!?
It looks like you haven't had your eyes opened yet.
Like I said before, I'm no champion of justice.
I will show no mercy to those whom I dislike!
I won't even need Reiki against the likes of you. My fists will be plenty!
In order for one to inherit the Reikohado-ken techniques,
it requires a strong body,
in order to be able to endure the unimaginable pain involved.
Compared to the training I went through for that,
taking your attacks is as easy as farting.
Why, you old hag...! Don't you fool with me! You just don't know when to die!
In that case, I won't use Yoki either!
Bakuniku kotai!! (Bursting muscle, steel body)
I don't care if he won the last tournament or not,
I can manage Toguro's degree of technique just like that!
Idiot...
Let me tell you the reason for your defeat.
The reason for my defeat!?
You are truly gifted when it comes to creating weapons suited to the natures of other Yokai.
However, you mistook that for being your own strength.
Your techniques are all just for show, and are lightweight!
Compared to you, the late Shishiwakamaru was stronger!
Shut up!!
A- awesome!
No, he's just too weak.
Oh, no!
I forgot to show deference to his beautiful face, or whatever.
I... gib... up...
You gib up?
Contestant Beautiful Demon Battler Suzuki is judged unable to continue fighting.
Contestant Genkai is declared the winner!
Cool!
Most severe.
The finals are coming up! You've done so well!
You have all been very sharp!
Y- Yukina-san, there weren't any opponents around this time tough enough for me to take on,
so I left everything to the others, but I will be much more active in the finals!
Sure!
The reason you guys won this time is because you weren't very active, right?
Sis, that's not how it was!
You mean I'm wrong?
Yeah, you're wrong!
No, she's not wrong.
Shut up, pee-wee!
Now, now, now...
I'm going on ahead.
Now then, we'll be expecting much from you, Kuwabara-kun!
I'm not expecting anything.
Would you cut it out, already?
I have something to talk to you about. Will you see me later?
Very well...
At last, the Urameshi Team has won its way into the finals.
However, Captain Yusuke continues to sleep.
What is it that will be lying in wait for them?
Even without the younger Toguro, those guys are incredibly strong!
However, I'm a lot different than I've ever been before! Right, Genkai Ba-san?
Huh? Ba-san isn't here! Where the hell has she gone?
Don't tell me this has something to do with Toguro not being here!
Next time: "Confrontation of Destiny! The Shadow of Toguro"
Somehow, I've got a bad feeling about this...
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.
