"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!
"Mushiyori City" Mushiyori City - population 250,000.
Here, due to the actions of some evil individuals, a dark hole,
connecting the Demon Realm ýith the Human Realm, is being opened.
Once this hole is opened, horrific Yokai ýill be able
to freely enter the Human Realm.
In order to close up the hole, the spellcaster at the center of the hole,
the one ýho is distorting space, must be found and defeated.
Yusuke and the others have decided to split up into týo groups,
in order to conduct an investigation of Mushiyori City.
"Envoys of the Demon Realm! Seven Enemies"
"Mushiyori Station"
Good morning.
"A cheerful city makes for an enjoyable future."
Really? That's terrific!
Ordinary people can't see them, huh?
If they could see them, there would be a panic.
Ýe don't have a moment to spare.
Ýe have to search every last corner of this city.
This is just an ordinary field, isn't it?
Are you sure this is the center of the hole?
There isn't anything that looks like a hole here, huh?
I don't see any spellcaster distorting space,
or anything like a hideout, either.
Ýhen a distortion is created in space, it's certain to be circular in shape.
And there is sure to be a powerful spellcaster at the center of it.
I can't think of any other place it could be besides around here.
If they're not above the ground...
They're underground, huh?
Hey, Kurama...!
Ýhat's the matter?
Someone was watching us from here.
Ýhat?
So, the enemy has already sensed that we're moving against them?
I didn't sense anything. Are you sure it wasn't your imagination?
Your spiritual sensitivity is still weak, you know.
Ýell, I'm sorry! I'll recover soon enough!
In any event, it looks like we'd better join up with Yusuke and
the others for the time being.
Ýhat kind of impressions are you getting of this city?
Nothing special, except for all the bugs.
It's a run-down city.
All gloomy, with no entertainment.
It sure is.
Did you sense that?
Yeah. Looks like we've entered into someone's Territory.
Unless the one with the ability is using their power,
there shouldn't be this sense of displacement.
Ýho is it?
I'll bet they're down here...
Yusuke, you remember now, right?
Yeah. I won't make that same mistake again.
Come on in!
Which one is it...?
1... 2... 3... Including the employees, it's one of the six people here...
It's possible that everyone in the ýhole shop has an ability, too...
You guys over there, is there something I can do for you?
You guys have abilities as well, don't you?
S- sir, we mustn't have any trouble here!
Shut up! You keep out of this!
I don't know what you've come here for,
but I'm not looking for any trouble, either.
Ýe're looking for some guy who's digging a hole.
An incredibly huge hole.
A hole? Do you mean a boundary tunnel?
You know about it!?
You guys have been talking about it for some time now, haven't you?
Inside your minds, that is...
So his ability is to read people's minds, huh?
No, we can't be sure.
He could be pretending, and instead have some other ability.
It could be that he is friends with the guys we're looking for.
Allow me to test him, if you would.
Kido...!
Either ýay, he shouldn't knoý ýhat my ability is.
If he's bluffing about reading people's minds,
it should be easy to get him to let me stand on his shadoý...
Ýhat do you want? You want a go at me?
You're going to answer us, even if I have to force you to.
I'll bet my life on it.
Kido has extended his Territory.
You don't mean...!
Kido!
Too bad for you, huh?
Not being able to step on my shadow?
Ýhat!?
H- he made me... he could tell what was on my mind...
Ýe'll leave it here...!
It's too early to be calling the police!
I'm not calling them, I'm not calling them!
Ýell now, you still want to go at it? I've always wanted to be a pro boxer.
If I can read minds, I'll know whatever move
my opponent is going to make as clear as day.
There's not a person around who can stand up to me.
Becoming the world champion is more than just some dream!
It looks like he truly can read minds.
But we won't know if he's black or white until we can sound out his intentions.
Say, hear me out for a minute.
That guy's ability is being able to touch a person's head
and copy everything about that person.
Ýhat's more, he can even copy their memories.
If you're just someone that happens to have your ability,
would you give us your cooperation?
You're going to copy me, huh?
That's what it amounts to.
No way. I'm not about to put myself out for you guys.
If you want to copy me, you'll have to lay me out first!
You're not a very understanding bastard, huh?
You would have to make this hard...
Is he going to be okay?
If his mind gets read, how can he attack?
You needn't worry. He is a tournament champion.
If all the man he's up against can do is read minds,
then to Yusuke, he's the same as any ordinary human.
Ýhat's the matter?
Any time you're ready! Come and get me!
Yeah, don't get all restless.
I'm about to send you flying with a right straight.
Ýhat?
I'm coming directly at you, so brace yourself.
He's bluffing! What a shoddy trick!
Send him flying ýith a right straight...
Go directly at him and send him flying...
Send him flying ýith a right straight...
Go directly at him and send him flying...
Send him flying ýith a right straight...
Go directly at him and send him flying...
This guy is a Just a big dumb bastard!
He seriously intends to rush at me head-on!
Easy ýin, easy ýin!
Here goes!
Ýhat!?
A- awesome...
I couldn't see him move!
That's about thirty percent of his power.
I stopped just short of him, though.
It's the shockwave that sent him reeling.
Yanagisawa, copy this guy for us.
R- right...
How about it?
This guy is white, all right. He doesn't know a thing.
Is that right? Ýell, we can make use of this man.
B- boss, I seem to have gone funny in the head!
A dream... This is all a dream...
That sure was exciting, huh?
Ýith each person who has a Territorial ability possessing some diFferent power,
Yusuke-san and the others can't be too careful!
This is Kurama.
Oh, Kurama! How did it go?
The vacant lot that we thought was the center of the
hole didn't have anything there that would indicate it.
Ýhat? How can that be?
Ýe don't know for certain, but they're probably...
Underground, huh?
Anyhow, we're going to join up with Yusuke and the others now.
Ýe're counting on you!
Hey, Ayame!
Yes?
Analyze the data on the hole once more.
Make it as precise as you can.
Understood.
U- um...
Ýhat should I, Jorge Saotome, be doing?
Murota, wasn't it? How big is your Territory?
About thirty meters in radius, I'd say.
I can hear the voices of people within that area the same
as if they were holding a conversation.
That guy bugs me. Die, you idiot!
Ah, I sure need some money!
There's a test today? Maybe I'll skip out.
Yuck! That man is disgusting!
Whoa, that ýoman has huge breasts!
The stronger the thoughts of the people around me are,
the louder their voices sound to me.
It'll be as though that one person is shouting out.
All right, that means you can check everyone that passes by here.
Let us know if there is anyone thinking anything strange.
But don't show it on your face. And don't meet their gaze, either.
The enemy has some ability, too.
He will undoubtedly realize that he is within your Territory.
Yeah, okay.
Is someone there? Ýho is it?
That girl...!
That girl is thinking of getting it on with her homeroom teacher, dammit!
I'm gonna kill you!
Ah, you're seriously thinking of killing me!
You don't need to be reading my mind!
How can you joke around at a time like this!?
Sorry, sorry!
Now look, we're going to do this until you find them, got it?
R- right.
Ýell, how about it? Haven't you found anyone yet?
Murota?
T- there's someone... someone there... this guy's terrible...!
Kill them all... kids... women... the elderly...
dig as much as they want, it will never be enough...!
Fill up this entire world with graves...!
Kill them all! Kill them all!
Kill them all!!
Murota! Get hold ofyourself!
It's a voice, louder than anyone else's...!
And yet, it's darker, and quieter than anyone else's...!
I've never heard a voice as murky and bloodthirsty as this...!
Ýho is it?
Don't point with your finger., give me his direction and his description.
He's to the right. A tall man, with his hair all back, wearing black clothes.
Murota!
My ýay of saying hello, Urameshi Yusuke.
He's the head guy!
Murota!
Stay with us!
The hospital! Call an ambulance!
Murota, stay with us!
Ýe have to get the bullet out quickly or Murota will die!
Don't worry. He won't die.
This is the slug that hit Murota.
Ý- what is that?
It's a chunk of pencil eraser.
Eraser?
It couldn't be!
It's eraser, all right.
You mean this is what he used to split open Murota's head?
That's right.
Ah, it changed...
Shizuru-san, do you really think everyone could be here in this city?
Probably.
This is the direction that Puu flew oFf toward,
and there are all of these strange bugs...
Kazuma and the others could be caught up in some kind of trouble again.
Bugs? Ýhere?
Keiko-chan, you're probably better-oFf not being able to see them.
Ýhat do you mean, Shizuru-san?
Never mind, never mind.
I wonder if there was an accident.
Keiko-chan!
Puu!
That ambulance has something to do with Kazuma and the others!
Ah, wait up, Keiko-chan!
Is that you, Sniper?
Those guys didn't chase aFter us, huh?
Urameshi was unexpectedly cool-headed.
Seaman is tailing Kurama and that group.
Urameshi and them are headed to a nearby hospital.
They don't know that Doctor will be following them.
He could be among their number.
It's only a matter of time before the hole connecting the Demon Realm
and the Human Realm extends far enough.
However, at the border, there is a powerful peripheral field in place.
Someone who has the ability to cut through that field...
that person could be among their number.
You're not saying...
I will make sure I find them!
Ýhile I'm out dealing with those who would get in our way, that is...
Ýe'll dig a grave for all people. The seven of us will dig the hole...
The seven of us will dig the hole...!
"Daikyo Hospital"
Ýe'll dig a grave for all people. The seven of us will dig the hole.
Dark Angel, Gatekeeper, Sniper, Gourmet,
Gamemaster, Doctor, Seaman, the seven of us.
Ýhat does that mean?
Are those seven people the ones who are attempting to open the
dark hole connecting the Demon Realm and the Human Realm?
Is that it?
I don't know.
That's all I could get out of the voice from that
man's mind that seems to oFfer any clues.
Other than that... other than that, there was nothing but extraordinary bloodlust!
That Gourmet and Doctor business could be their nicknames, right?
Probably. No question that it also has something to do with their abilities.
But you know, Yusuke,
you did pretty well, not going aFter him.
Looks like you have grown a little bit.
I couldn't go aFter him.
I could feel it at first glance.
There's something... something dangerous about him.
He had a nasty look in his eye...
Like he was biding his time until his enemies were caught in his trap.
If Toguro was like a fastball pitcher,
this guy felt like he threw knuckleballs.
And to take it farther,
he doesn't seem likely to show you the knuckleball until the very last moment.
The only time he shows his own ability is
probably when he's finishing his opponent oFf.
The fact that he wasn't the one who shot him also backs that up.
Ýhat?
Ýhat do you mean?
You're not trying to tell us that that man isn't the one who shot Murota, are you?
That's right. He didn't do anything.
Did you notice it as well?
The bullet came from directly ahead.
His looking over toward us was nothing more than a signal.
That couldn't be!
A- are you serious?
There's still some Yoki from the person who shot this remaining on it.
Ýhoever shot it probably placed a coating of his Yoki around it,
making that chunk of eraser as hard as a BB,
and then shot it using his mind.
I projected the trajectory that it was shot from,
Iooking for the shooter, but I didn't see anyone.
He probably shot from a distance of over 500 meters away.
F- five hundred meters!?
This guy's incredible!
And since he shot it using his mind...
...it means he's got quite a substantial ability.
Forgive me, but I don't want to die just yet!
I don't want to die!
Once again, a neý opponent appears in Yusuke's vicinity.
What sorts of abilities do these seven evil men possess?
A ferocious battle is about to unfold in the once-peaceful streets of Mushiyori City!
Are you serious?
That man is the leader of the enemies that ýe have to defeat?
He has those critical eyes, filled ýith bloodlust!
But it doesn't look like this is any time to be thinking about that!
It appears ýe've already entered into somebody's Territory!
Next time: "The Stalking, Demonic Hand of the Doctor"
It's been a long time since I let loose on someone!
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!
