"Yu Yu Hakusho"
In a croýded city, as I bump shoulders, I'm all alone.
On an endless prairie, as the ýind ýhistles by, I'm all alone.
Which one is it that makes me ýant to cry more, I ýonder.
Marking it ýith týin circles, I feel a bit more groýn-up!
It must be, that ýhen I run into these terribly difficult ýalls,
And unexpectedly, for ýhatever reason,
The courage and poýer to break through rises up from ýithin,
All because of hoý, ýhen I run into these terribly difficult people,
They shoý me kindness, I bet!
Thank you very much!
Urameshi Yusuke has achieved victory after a terrible battle ýith Toguro.
Recognizing his defeat, Sakyo pressed a button,
ýhich caused the stadium to bloý up ýith him inside.
After narroýly escaping, Yusuke and the others looked upon the crumbling stadium,
and realized that everything ýas over.
Hoýever, there ýas no consoling the emptiness in
their hearts over the loss of Master Genkai.
Toguro's Atonement-- His Greatest Desire
All righty!
Ready?
Yep.
Come to think of it, we didn't even have the time to just stare out at the sea.
Somehow, it feels like we've been fighting for a whole year, huh?
It has been long.
Ýhoa!
This guy's okay, and all...
Ýhen this guy took on Ba-san's face, it sure startled me!
Are you some kind of phone to the Spirit Realm?
Say, Puu, call up Ba-san again for me, would you?
Okay? Come on, let's have her!
Puu, help me out here!
It's probably...
Come on, come on!
...no longer possible.
No longer possible?
The Spirit Realm is like a way station between life and death.
Then people who are dead don't go to the Spirit Realm?
They do go there, yes, but the Spirit Realm is a relay point on the way to death.
It's only as far as the Spirit Realm that you could
even barely manage to communicate with this world.
However, you can't stay in the Spirit Realm for very long.
From there, everyone starts on a diFferent journey.
That is what death is.
And Genkai-san has already leFt...
That so...?
She's departed on her journey to death, huh?
Shall we head back?
Yeah, you're right.
Farewell, Genkai-san.
Oh well, then.
Ýe can't do anything about what's already done.
People ought to live while looking forward. Right?
All right!
Starting tomorrow, we get back to goofing around! To hell with it!
Hey, what about school!? You won't be able to pass!
Sheesh. The strain he is under was so obvious,
I'm embarrassed just watching him.
The Spirit Realm
Koenma-sama, we're finally here.
It's been a long time since we've seen it. I even missed the gate!
Ýho's there?
It's me! It's me! I've come home!
"Me?" I don't know anyone with that name!
Ýe're busy here, go back where you came from!
It looks like they've forgotten about us.
You idiots! It's me! Koenma!
I even feel like I've missed this room.
Ýhat the hell is going on here!?
Ý- well, you see...
I thought I told you that while I was gone, you were to take care of all the business!
I even leFt you my stamp!
Ýell, you see, we were found out by Yama the Great.
P- Pop!?
Yes. And so, he ordered us to have you do the work when you got back, Koenma-sama...
Koenma-sama, please hurry and start stamping your stamp!
You idiots! There's other work that we have to get to first!
Straighten this all up right now!
Right!
Jorge Saotome, you too!
Sure enough, I feel right at home in my own chair.
--Koenma-sama! --All right, let him in.
This here is the judgment gate. Here, your sins will be judged.
I don't think that will be necessary.
Just listen...
I have already decided.
I will go to the Realm of Darkest Hell.
R- Realm of Darkest Hell!?
Y- you would go to the Realm of Darkest Hell voluntarily!?
You know, don't you, that the Realm of Darkest Hell is
the most severe level of Hell there is?
You will go through all manner of agony for ten thousand years,
and then repeat that for ten thousand times!
AFter that, all that awaits you is utter nothingness!
Are you still going to go, knowing that?
Yeah.
Ýhen viewed in light of your achievements as a martial artist,
you could get oFf going to a Hell for lighter sins!
How about it? There's still time for you to think about it.
I've already decided. I don't intend to change my mind.
I see.
You really mean it?
In that case, there's nothing else I can say.
Take him away.
Right.
My, my...
Koenma-sama...?
I finally found what you were asking for.
Oh, it's you.
You were right, Koenma-sama. The incident that led to Toguro
being reborn as a Yokai occurred 50 years ago.
About three months before the tournament began 50 years ago,
all of Toguro's pupils were killed by a Yokai, right before his eyes.
I knew it...
Kairen The one who did it was Kairen, the Yokai who was the
number-one candidate to win the tournament that year.
Ýhile he was there to invite Toguro to enter the tournament as a guest,
he killed his pupils, one aFter the next.
It was almost as if he was showing oFf how strong he was.
Then, Toguro was soundly thrashed by Kairen.
Up until then, Toguro was sure that he was the strongest one there was.
However, he lost everything.
You are correct.
And so, for the next three months, nobody heard from him.
The day before the tournament,
when Toguro appeared before Genkai and the other guests...
...it appears that his heart had already become hardened.
Kairen was killed by Toguro in the finals of that tournament.
And so, having won, Toguro's wish was to turn into a Yokai.
It is something I am utterly unable to comprehend.
His behavior is logically inconsistent.
Even though he was triumphant, and avenged the deaths of his students,
he probably couldn't purge the guilty conscience he felt within himself.
He wasn't able to protect his own students, and all...
He didn't realize that he had himself become so proud.
That's probably why he couldn't forgive himself.
From then on, he just went ahead and chose a path of suFfering for himself.
Yes.
It was more in order to torture himself,
than it was to make an atonement for his pupils.
Ýhat a tormented life indeed.
He lied to himself, saying he was aFter strength.
He's such an awkward man.
You and I both are at the height of our strength.
Lately, I've oFten thought it would be nice if time would just stop.
Being a human is inconvenient.
Is that right?
I want to acquire a body that will never grow weak. That is my greatest desire!
How well you knew that I would choose this path, huh?
More or less.
I thought you would choose this path.
Are you really going to go down this path?
You've atoned enough already, haven't you?
There wasn't anything anyone could have done about the
Yokai Kairen's strength at the time.
It wasn't your fault!
AFter the tournament 50 years ago, you also kept hurting and blaming yourself.
That's enough already, isn't it?
No, it isn't.
I snapped-- defeating Kairen, and being reborn as a Yokai.
AFter that, all I could do is pursue becoming stronger.
I found out what true strength was when Kairen killed my pupils.
If anything, I'm grateful for what happened.
You're lying!!
Genkai, don't concern yourself over me any further.
There is still work remaining for you to do.
He is definitely going to get stronger.
However, if he slips up, he's going to become like me.
Look aFter him a little longer.
This is the very end for you...
...and the only words you have are of concern for
the one who defeated you in the match?
You are something else. As is your folly.
Not even death could alleviate you of that.
I've been nothing but trouble for you, haven't I?
You really are... a fool...
I'm coming in.
You're here, are you?
Huh? But how?
The wish of those who win the tournament must be granted,
no matter what that wish may be.
It's precisely because the victors can have any wish
granted that this tournament has any value.
You must know pretty well what Urameshi's wish will be if he wins.
You never know what may happen.
Be sure to keep Genkai's body carefully preserved.
Thinking about it now,
I feel like we've been controlled by Toguro from start to finish.
Ýell, I suppose that's all right.
The 3:10 non-stop launch will be the
Iast passenger liner leaving Kubikukuri Island today.
Passengers, please take special care not to be late in boarding.
Cripes! Ýhat are all the girls up to!?
They have to get themselves all fixed up.
There shouldn't be anyone who has to pack on their makeup that heavily, right?
Aside from my sister, I mean.
Did I hear you say something about me?
No, no, no! I was just saying, my sister is always so pretty!
Ýhy, you...!
Thanks for waiting!
You guys are so slow!
Here!
You're telling me to carry all this?
Of course! Yukina-chan, have him carry yours, too.
Yeah! Glady!
Thank you very much!
Here!
Now look, why should I take yours!?
You're carrying everything else, so why not?
You carry this guy.
If the champion of a martial arts tournament were to be seen carrying that,
he'd be made a laughingstock.
You're so cute, though, Puu-chan.
Finally, we can say goodbye to this island.
It sure has been a while, huh?
And so much has happened--
You blabbermouth! Don't say anything that will remind everyone of Ba-san!
Sorry, sorry!
It's here, it's here! The ship!
All right, let's go!
Shall we go, then?
Let's get going.
Yeah, right now.
Ýe return in triumph!
Hey, hey...! How coldhearted you guys are!
That voice...!
Are you planning on leaving an old woman behind?
Master Genkai!
Ba-san!
Thank goodness!
Don't go digging people's graves without them asking.
Bonehead!
Ba-san...!
Ba-san!!
The curtain falls on the Dark Tournament, ýith the Urameshi Team as the victors.
Hoýever, there ýas no ýay for Yusuke and the others to
noý knoý that there ýas one person remaining on the island...
...ýho ýas planning to take over Sakyo's evil scheme.
Hey, Urameshi! Here you've Just finished ýith the Dark Tournament,
and you could be taking it easy,
but as soon as you get back, you're fighting again?
But these guys aren't any ordinary students!
They're a different type of foe than any other ýe've had up to noý.
This looks like it could be a problem!
Next time: "A New Prologue"
The curtain is rising on a neý battle!
Ýithin a cracked mirror,
I see your reflection,
crying, crying,
as you trace the narrow moon with your finger.
Ýho is it that I am calling out to?
It's the back of a love nowhere to be found.
Over and over, over and over,
I will tap at your window.
Ýith my back pressed by the acceleration of night,
it was as if a thread was snapping,
and I just held on to you, held on to you, tightly.
As you exchange your unbalanced kisses with me,
come closer to my love!
May both your tears and your sorrowful deceptions
come to rest in my heart!
