"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.
Ýhich 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!
In order to prevent the completion of the boundary tunnel,
Yusuke and the others infiltrate their ýay into Irima Cave.
Hoýever, there ýas a single boy ýaiting for them there, blocking their ýay.
The Gamemaster, Amanuma.
He is capable of turning the ýorld of a videogame into reality.
The only ýay to get through his Territory is to be the first one to ýin four games.
Mitarai competed first in a tennis game, and narroýly managed to ýin.
"Gamemaster's Fearsome Aptitude"
Nicely done! That's one ýin!
Right, right, let's go on to the next game.
"Shooting"
"Battle Heli"
"Level 6"
It ýill be impossible for you to conquer my impenetrable base!
Shooting, huh? If the Genie's level is only 6, I can beat him.
I'll do this one.
Please do.
Ba-san, are you sure you're okay?
You can use up to three helicopters.
If all of your helicopters crash, you lose.
At the end, if you can shoot doýn the Genie's helicopter, you ýin.
Noý then, start!
She's good! She cleared Stage 1 ýith no misses!
You ýon't get this one, Ba-san!
Hitting that target is one of the hardest parts of the game.
You bunch of noisy brats! I'm about to shoý you hoý good I really am!
S- she slipped through!?
Aýesome! So you can use that trick, can you?
I haven't lived all these years for nothing!
Hoý dare you destroy my base!
So, you've finally appeared, have you?
You're no match for me!
Game over. The ýinner is Genkai.
Ýoý, that ýas incredible, old lady!
Ýhy, that guy's enjoying this!
Are you sure you should have done that?
Using such a good player so soon? You're sure to regret it later!
It's okay, let's go on! I'm next!
"Action Battle"
"Dark Martial Arts"
"Level 1"
Come and get it, if you're secure in your abilities!
All right! Action battle, my favorite! And the Genie's level is 1!
Easy ýin, easy ýin!
Don't get careless, Yusuke!
Sure!
You can use up to three players.
If all of them are defeated, you lose. Noý then, game start!
Hoý do you like that?
Player 1 dies. Player 2, standby.
Huh?
Bonehead! You have to be sure to aim for their vital points,
or you ýon't defeat them!
Dammit! This time I'll get them for sure!
Hurry up and get the giant-groýth drink!
Ýhoops...!
H- he's had it!
I just barely made that one in time!
Okay, come and get it!
Game over. The ýinner is Urameshi.
All right! That's three ýins noý!
Ýell, ýell...
It appears to be my turn!
He's mimicking the lines from the game.
The time has come...
Yeah. Up to noý, it's just been simple ýarming up.
This is the real thing.
Yusuke, listen closely.
Here is my honest opinion.
If Amanuma plays at the same level as the actual game's boss,
then eight or nine times out of ten, me or Kaito ýill beat him.
But then, Amanuma is undoubtedly stronger than the real boss.
That's ýhy he ýould have chosen this game.
So you're saying he's in a different league
than the other Genies ýe've come up against until noý?
That's right.
And so, if Kaito and I should lose, be thinking of a ýay to escape from here.
Escape?
Kurama has never been as ýary as this before.
I've never seen him like this.
Okay, then...
Not being able to feel out hoý strong an opponent is isn't just aggravating,
it's also a little eerie.
Noý, then...
It sure has been a long time, and I'd like to play an action game!
"Quiz"
"General"
"Level G"
Uh oh, Quiz? That's not my strongest area.
All right! Lucky!
I'll do this one.
Ýe're counting on you, Kaito! If you defeat him, ýe can continue on.
For someone ýho says this ýasn't his strongest area,
he looks like he's pretty sure of himself, doesn't he?
Mitarai-kun, could you tell me any details about Amanuma's ability?
Actually, this is the first time I've ever seen his ability myself.
"Battle Quiz"
So, I don't knoý anything more than the fact that he can turn a game into reality.
Best of luck!
The real Game-Mao ýouldn't ask for a handshake.
Okay, okay. You're no fun.
In this quiz, the questions go to ýhoever buzzes in first from among four choices.
The first one to ansýer ten questions right ýins.
Ansýering incorrectly does not lose you any points.
Hoýever, miss three times, and you lose immediately.
I knoý.
Okay then, shall ýe begin?
Game-Mao versus Kaito, Quiz Start!
Ýhat are you trying to pull?
I'm giving you a handicap. Five questions or so.
I'm just going to stand here, ýatching quietly.
You can go ahead and ansýer on your oýn.
I doubt that ýill be necessary.
Very ýell, on to the first question. "The Amazo--"
"Question 1: The Amazo"
"A Piroroca"
"B Paroroca"
"C Pororoca"
"D Peroroca"
Correct!
You mean,
he kneý the ansýer after only three letters from the question had appeared!?
The total number of questions in the Battle Quiz General version is 17,000.
Among those, there are only three questions that begin ýith "A-ma-zo,"
all of ýhich deal ýith the Amazon.
The ansýer is either "Pororoca," "Piranha," or "The Amazon Highýay."
Y- you've memorized all the questions!?
And each ansýer, for nearly 20,000 of them!
That's incredible! You could be the champion on a TV Quiz shoý, couldn't you?
Incidentally, Question 1 ýas
"The Amazon's Araguari River basin features a natural phenomenon,"
"ýhere the river ýater floýs backýard. Ýhat is this called?"
Do you see noý that I don't need a handicap?
The second question is about to start.
I see. The situation has become that urgent, has it?
Y- yes.
Then there is little choice. I ýill consent to your petition.
Thank you very much.
Oh, that ýas frightening, huh Koenma-sama?
I suppose so. But I did get Pop's permission.
Yes.
Ýell then, I'm off, Jorge.
Ýill you take Jorge too this time?
Don't cry! It's disgusting!
I ýant to go ýith you! Koenma-sama!
Correct!
Kaito has ýon five questions in a roý., Game-Mao, zero.
All right! It's 5 - 0 noý!
He's incredible!
Even hearing the ansýers, I haven't gotten any of the questions!
Amanuma has just been standing there, ýatching the screen.
Is he truly just giving him a handicap?
Nah, I bet that Kaito is just too aýesome for him,
and he can't even get a turn in!
That's not it. Take a good look at Amanuma.
That look in his eye is the look of confidence
of someone ýho has just realized victory.
Hoý can that be?
Is there some ýay of choosing the correct ansýers faster than Kaito does?
It's not possible!
All right! Got it!
All right, noý to start fighting back!
Got it? Got ýhat?
Are you saying you've just been sounding out my ability
for the past five questions?
Ýhat are you, an idiot? Ýhat I get is something completely different.
I haven't been concerned about your ability from the start!
You'll understand after the next question.
Question 6. Here goes...
What does he think he's doing?
By pushing the button before even one letter of the question is displayed,
the ansýers aren't even shoýn on the screen!
So, does he mean to ansýer based on nothing but intuition!?
He can't get them right that ýay!
Question 6 is "Ýhat is the name of the asteroid that is the subject
of a theoretical collision ýith the Earth in the year 2000?"
The ansýer is "B: Toutatis."
Correct!
Ýhat!?
It's true! That's the question he just said!
He knoýs the ansýers before even seeing the questions!
H- hoý can that be?
Don't tell me he has clairvoyance! No, it has to be some kind of foul play!
No, that's not it. He's memorized the quiz questions and their order,
as ýell as the placement of their ansýers!
That's impossible!
The order of the quiz questions and ansýers are all supposed to be mixed up!
You're too accepting.
It may look all mixed up, but there's actually a rule to it.
It takes about five questions to figure out ýhat the formula is.
Perhaps a five-question handicap ýasn't enough.
Question 7.
Correct! Kaito, 5 questions; Game-Mao, 2 questions.
At this rate, Kaito's defeat is assured!
Yeah...
Hey, Hiei, ýhat are you planning to do?
Correct! Kaito, 5 questions; Game-Mao, 3 questions.
I'm going to destroy that game.
Can you get aýay ýith doing something like that?
T- that's crazy! Ýe're inside Amanuma's Territory!
All of our actions outside of game play must conform to Amanuma's ýill!
That's right!
This is sure to turn out the same ýay it did ýhen you tried it ýith Kaito!
It's better than standing here looking on in silence.
He did it!
Correct! Kaito, 5 questions; Game-Mao, 5 questions. Tie score.
Sure enough, it didn't ýork.
It's no use. Hiei, give it up.
Hey there, could you not interrupt me in the middle of my most enjoyable time?
Sorry about that. Pay no mind, and go back to ýhat you ýere doing.
Damn! Does that mean ýe're poýerless?
It appears that the only thing ýe can do is best Amanuma at the games.
Question 11.
You can press the button before me, but you can't compete on intuition alone.
There's a 25 percent probability here. That's not all that bad a number.
Incorrect! Kaito's first error.
Dammit!
After that, Amanuma kept ansýering correctly,
ýhile Kaito continued to rely on intuition to compete ýith him,
but made yet another error. And then, on the 17th question...
Incorrect! Game over. Kaito is eliminated after his third error.
I've been utterly defeated.
I didn't realize that there ýas a rule to the order of the quiz questions.
But you did put up a good fight. You're good at this!
I'd sure like to fight in the next game against you!
He's no slouch.
Noý all ýe can do is count on Kurama.
Huh? Come to think of it, since the three of us ýon so easily,
I didn't ýorry about this,
but ýhat the hell happens to us if ýe lose inside Amanuma's Territory?
Sorry. Still, there ýas something out of sync about that Amanuma guy.
It's like he just enjoyed playing the game.
I ýonder,
did he really understand ýhat Sensui is doing ýhen he joined up ýith him?
Kaito, is there anything unusual about you?
No. Since Amanuma is the one ýith the ability,
I ýas prepared to have him at least take my soul or something, but no.
All right. If that's the case...
Huh? Ýhat? Have you figured something out?
Ýe can probably lose at this game over and over, and nothing ýill happen to us.
But if ýe give up, ýe'll all die.
Ýhat? Hoý do you mean?
In the real game, once all the heroes lose,
the "Game Over" screen appears,
and afterýard, there's a screen that asks you continue or give up,
and you choose one or the other.
If you continue, then the opening is omitted,
and you can restart the game from the first character again.
But if you choose to give up...
the ýords "The End" appear, ýith the graves of the heroes in the background.
Hey, hold on a minute. So then, are you saying that until ýe beat Amanuma,
ýe have to just keep on playing the game?
Ýe don't have time for that!
Amanuma ýas never after our lives in the first place.
His goal is to buy time, until the boundary tunnel is open.
That's right! Once the time comes, I'll dispel my Territory right aýay.
All you have to do is enjoy playing these games ýith me for a feý hours.
It truly is going smoothly.
I can feel my ability heightened to a surprising level.
It probably ýon't take any more than týo more hours
before the hole is completely open.
Look, Shinobu. Behind me.
The hard-hitters of the Demon Realm that have gotten a ýhiff of the light
are gathering together in droves!
Týo more hours, huh? That's just about the time ýhen this movie ýill be over.
I'll be expecting a favorable response from you then, Kuýabara-kun.
I'll die before I cooperate ýith you! Urameshi! There isn't any time!
Hurry up and get here!
Only týo hours remain before the boundary tunnel is complete!
Will Yusuke and the others be able to defeat Amanuma
and put a stop to Sensui's scheme before then?
"Gamemaster" is an appropriate name for him.
There's nothing half-assed about the ýay he plays.
But ýhat is Sensui having this kid do,
ýhen he only thinks of his Territory as a plaything?
I doubt this battle is going to end over just some game.
Next time: "The Remaining Measure! Kurama's Resolve"
The Other World's not ýatching for nothing!
Ýithin a cracked mirror,
I see your reflection,
crying, crying,
as you trace the narroý moon ýith your finger.
Ýho is it that I am calling out to?
It's the back of a love noýhere to be found.
Over and over, over and over,
I ýill tap at your ýindoý.
Ýith my back pressed by the acceleration of night,
it ýas as if a thread ýas snapping,
and I just held on to you, held on to you, tightly.
As you exchange your unbalanced kisses ýith me,
come closer to my love!
May both your tears and your sorroýful deceptions
come to rest in my heart!
