"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 first round of the semifinals,
the Urameshi Team fought against the Uraotogi Team without Yusuke,
managing to advance to the finals, thanks to the actions taken by Genkai.
Elsewhere, Yusuke, who had taken damage from the trial given to him by Master Genkai,
was still unable to awaken himself.
And so, their greatest foe, the Toguro Team,
was about to appear in the second round of the semifinals...
Confrontation of Destiny! The Shadow of Toguro
And now, for the second round of the semifinals,
the Gorenja Team enters the stadium!
Continuing, the Toguro Team also comes forward!
[We've been waiting for this, Toguro!]
[Toguro!... Toguro!... Toguro!...]
In a complete turn of events from the last round, there is an incredible outpouring!
The Toguro Team is met with deafening cheers as they enter the stadium.
Contestant Karasu!
Contestant Bui!
Contestant Toguro the Elder.
Huh? Koenma-sama, I don't see the younger of the Toguro Brothers!
It's outrageous for him to be late!
Well, maybe he's just gone to the bathroom or something.
As big as Toguro is, it must take a while!
What could this mean? Although the Toguro Team is in the semifinals,
Toguro the Younger is nowhere to be seen.
Let's have an explanation. Where is your brother?
My brother had important business.
We were planning on facing you with just the three of us.
If you aren't satisfied with just the three of us,
I wouldn't mind going at you alone.
You dare mock us!?
Still, this is a chance to beat the Toguro Team that will never come again!
This is a surprise!
It appears that the Toguro Team will be fighting in the semifinals with only three members!
Is he still sleeping!? And here the finals are the day after tomorrow!
Is he really going to be all right?
Let him sleep.
Once the matches start, he'll wake up whether he wants to or not.
He knows that better than anyone.
So, then...
Ba-san, where are you going?
I have important business to take care of...
Important business?
Kuwabara,
don't you go losing, now.
Ba-san... what in the world is the matter with you today?
And now, the matches between the Toguro Team and the Gorenja Team will begin!
You three are going to face the five of us, huh?
It seems that we have been greatly underestimated.
But then again, we didn't advance our way into the semifinals just for show, either!
Contestant Midorenja has suddenly produced some kind of goopy...
What could it be!? It has a fiercely acidic odor to it!
What is that smell!?
I can't take this!
Die!!
Incredibly, the spectators who were hit by the green ball that Contestant Midorenja threw...
...have been dissolved, disappearing without a trace!
It looks as though you underestimated my power, huh?
This time, it's your turn to be vaporized!
Hmph! Like a summer's moth flying into a flame!
You idiot!
What!?
What the hell... did you--?
Now then, what should I blow away next?
Your legs? Your belly? Or perhaps your head?
Don't, please! Spare me!
You're a disgrace!
The winner is Contestant Karasu, of the Toguro Team!
That is a fearsome technique.
He probably forces Yoki into his opponent's body,
and destroys it from the inside.
He's strong! As long as I'm in Minamino Shuichi's body like this,
I'm not sure I can stand up to even those other two, let alone the Toguro Brothers.
Kurama, Hiei,
Take a good look at the way those guys fight.
Hiei may have been right not to watch.
I don't have the time to watch opponents fight.
Genkai-san!
After those incredible matches, are you sure you're okay not getting any rest?
Oh, I just wanted feel the wind out here for a little bit.
I know. Why don't you go cheer on the Urameshi Team?
What are you talking about? You're acting like that's somebody else's business.
I mean, really! Genkai-san, you are a member of the Urameshi Team, after all!
Keiko-chan...
Yes?
I'm leaving Yusuke in your hands.
Okay then, see you around.
There's something strange here.
That really was strange, huh? She's a strange old Ba-san, huh?
Come on! Let's go back to our room! I'm getting tired!
The second match is between Contestant Bui and Contestant Kirenja!
Oh, my! Contestant Kirenja has drawn a giant sword!
How about this? I wanted to keep this sword until the finals,
but I'm not going to get careless, either!
I don't care how much you fortify your own body with that armor,
this hardened steel sword will slice you and your armor right up!
What?
The axe, which suddenly appeared with Contestant Bui,
is even more gigantic than Contestant Kirenja's sword!
You fool! Just because it's bigger doesn't mean it's better!
If I can just move in close enough, my sword will have to be faster than that, you moron!
Match two, begin!
What is he planning to do!? Even at that distance, Bui hasn't even flinched!
With an axe as big as that, he'll never swing it in time!
At this distance, you're all mine!
I- incredibly, Contestant Bui has in one instant smashed Contestant Kirenja to bits with his giant axe!
A- at that range, that enormous axe was faster than the sword!?
W- why does somebody that ridiculously terrible follow the Toguros?
It's a simple enough matter.
It's because we, the Toguro Brothers, are even stronger.
This is too big a hassle. All three of you come at me.
If you can beat me, I'll let you have the final round.
W- what was that!? You'll be sure to regret saying that!
Amazingly, it appears that Contestant Toguro is daring to take on the other three opponents at once.
[Toguro the Elder is going to fight!]
[He can fight without his brother!?]
Begin!
You've gotten too carried away with yourself!
You cannot follow...
...our combination plays!
Oh, my! The three contestants leap around in all directions at will!
It almost looks like there are thousands of them!
Is there nothing that Contestant Toguro can do against them!?
Take this! Sanju sasso!!
Sanju Sasso "Triple Concerted Deathstrike"
That's a shame. I have a talent for defeating everyone all at once.
--[Awesome, Toguro the Elder!] --[That was so cool!]
Oh? You two are still alive, huh?
You really didn't get to the semifinals just for show.
As a reward, I promise I will allow either one or the other of you two to live.
Come on, make your request of me.
Don't be ridiculous! You think I would beg of you!?
If you don't kill me right here, I will come to kill you some day!
L- let me live! Please, just spare my life!
That settles it, then.
We hate those who are so disgraceful.
Previously, when Karasu and Bui challenged us brothers and lost,
they said something similar to what you just said...
H- hurry up and kill us!
No. The defeated have no right to give any orders.
I, as the victor, will decide whether I let you live or whether I kill you.
Before we knew it, they grew to be considerably stronger than they were then,
and put them on the same team as us.
Even now, they are after our lives.
Both me and my brother love guys like that.
That's more like it.
However, there is one significant difference between me and my brother...
I often break my promises.
You die, too!
It's just about time, huh.
The Toguro Team advances to the finals with a total victory!
The finals will begin two days from now at noon sharp!
The Toguro Team is sure to win the next round, too!
They're in a whole different league!
It's Kurama!
It's no use for you to observe the competition!
In two days, you'll be their victims as well!
If only I could turn into that form once again...
You're the only one who came to watch, huh? You must be quite self-assured.
Not at all.
Don't be so nervous. We won't do anything.
The four of you won't die for another two days.
Four of us!?
One will die today. You will know who soon enough.
Karasu is gone! In that one instant when I directed my attention to Bui...!
Where is he!?
Your hair is a bit distressed, huh? Do you give it treatments?
You should take plenty of care of it. Humans get hurt so easily, after all...
W- why, you...!
I was only joking. Don't let it get to you.
As cool as you are, you are also quite belligerent.
Of the five of you, I do indeed like you best of all.
When I kill something that I like, I get depressed,
the same as when I think about why in the world I was ever born.
But then, I find that to be an indescribable pleasure.
I'm looking forward to two days from now.
I can't beat him! Not like this!
You've gotten old, Genkai.
You haven't changed.
You're the same as you were 50 years ago.
I never thought that half a century later,
I would once again be a guest at this tournament.
But then, to be called here by someone who was my ally 50 years ago...
Why did you call on me!?
You're asking the obvious, aren't you?
It's to let you know how cruel the passage of time is.
50 years ago, you were beautiful.
Just by closing my eyes, the image of you 50 years ago comes back to me.
Why did you wear a mask?
Is it because you did not want me to see you this way?
Don't be so full of yourself!
I simply didn't want to reveal who I was in a place crawling with so many Yokai!
This place is teeming with folk that are after my head, you know.
You have already passed on your Reikohado-ken, haven't you?
Yeah... I have handed it over to Yusuke.
Very well... I have no further business with you.
Are you finally awake!?
What's with that awful look on your face?
Toguro... He's fighting...!
Yeah. They must be holding the semifinals right about now.
It's not that!
Hey! Urameshi!
Ba-san...!
You really haven't changed. Fighting is the only thing inside your head.
You have changed, and I cannot put up with you.
I do not want to look at your aged self any longer.
I can't put up with you, either!
You, who went so far as to sell your soul in search of a moment's youth and strength!
Is that so?
In that case, one of us must go away!
Here goes, Genkai!
I will take my remaining strength, all three Rei-gun shot's worth,
and blast you with all of my spiritual power!
The confrontation of destiny between Toguro and Genkai now begins!
Is there any chance of Genkai winning?
In two days, the matches against the Toguro Team await!
Genkai Ba-san, why do you have to fight Toguro?
Wasn't I supposed to be the one to defeat him?
I don't know about what happened between you in the past,
but I am your pupil!
How could you not say anything to me? That was terrible, you know!?
"Genkai Falls! Settled After 50 Years"
Ba-san...!
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.
