"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!
At the end of his fight with Sensui, Urameshi Yusuke had died.
The Spirit Realm, which was on full alert
as a result of the boundary tunnel being opened,
had mobilized the Special Defense Squad under orders from Yama the Great.
Elsewhere, Kuwabara had cut through the subspace periphery field
with his Jigen-to sword,
and together with Hiei and Kurama, headed toward the Demon Realm in pursuit of Sensui.
However, having been clad in Kiko toi armor, Sensui's power was all too great.
A Time of Awakening! The Battle Commences Again
W- what a bastard...!
It sure is a shame that your strength is so half-assed.
You unconsciously try to defend yourselves.
Damn...
I regret to inform you that you will not die easily.
I'm not trying to die easily... All I want is to avenge the late Urameshi,
by, if nothing else, taking that high-and-mighty face of yours...
and slicing it up for him!
What!?
Puu-chan...! Puu-chan...!
Puu-chan isn't moving at all...
It couldn't mean... It couldn't mean...
that Yusuke...!
Keiko-chan, calm down. Calm down, okay?
W- what?
This can't be...! Puu, open your eyes!
No, Puu! You can't go!
Let's go after him, Keiko-chan!
That's strange...
What's wrong?
His heart has stopped, but Yusuke's spirit body hasn't risen up.
What does that mean?
Ordinarily, when you die, your spirit body automatically rises up out of you.
Then, does that mean he isn't dead?
No, there's no question that he's dead. That's why it's so strange.
W- what now?
Who are those guys?
The Spirit Realm Special Defense Squad.
Reikai tokubetsu boeitai "Spirit Realm Special Defense Squad"
Of all the forces in the Spirit Realm, these warriors are the best of the best.
In this emergency situation,
with a hole connecting the Human Realm and the Demon Realm,
the Spirit Realm has dispatched its finest elite warriors.
That's just how critical the situation is right now.
Captain - Otake
Oho, Sorai, Saito!
Sorai Suho Saito
You three close up the hole to the Demon Realm. How long will it take?
With the three of us, it will take about ten days.
Do it in one week.
Yes, sir.
All right, get to it immediately!
Ryohi, Rinpai, Shunjun!
Ryohi
You three stand by inside subspace. If any Yokai come along, deal with them.
Rinpai You three stand by inside subspace. If any Yokai come along, deal with them.
Shunjun You three stand by inside subspace. If any Yokai come along, deal with them.
Yes, sir.
Koenma-sama, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
Please return to the Spirit Realm and get some rest.
I can't do that. I'm going to the Demon Realm now.
You have used up all of your Reiki, and lack the strength to make calm decisions.
It is the order of Yama the Great. Please return.
I can't, even if it is Pop's order.
I will take complete responsibility for my actions.
You will have to see something... that will be hard for you.
What? What do you mean!?
G- Great King, what did you just say?
I am authorizing special measures, for the preservation of the Human Realm.
Eliminate Urameshi Yusuke!
B- but why? Urameshi Yusuke is a Spirit Realm Detective, appointed by Koenma-sama.
He is a man who has carried out many duties for the sake of the Human Realm.
There is no choice. He has the demonkin blood flowing through him.
Demonkin blood...?
Kid! Get back!
What are you doing!?
We are going to eliminate Urameshi Yusuke.
What!?
Urameshi Yusuke...
...is the descendent of demonkin!
He's what!?
He stopped!
What could be going on.
Was that Puu just now...?
Yusuke...
A descendent of demonkin?
Yusuke?
Don't be absurd! Both Yusuke's parents were human!
That's right. His grandfathers and grandmothers were also human.
And those before them... and before them, were also human.
Mazoku daikakusei "Demonkin Grand Atavism" Demonkin... grand atavism...?
That is correct.
Genetic hybridization with a human that only A-class Yokai or higher can achieve.
Urameshi Yusuke has demonkin blood,
which he inherited through demonkin grand atavism, flowing through him.
Atavism: When one person's genetic information
is not passed along to their children,
but does get passed down to their grandchildren, skipping a generation.
Demonkin grand atavism is an extreme example of atavism,
where a descendent dozens of generations later inherits
the unique characteristics of demon kinship.
Demonkin are capable of intentionally causing this to occur.
His ancestors' lineage was also very cleverly manipulated.
When he died the first time, he still had neither the ability
nor the capacity necessary to withstand being reborn as a demonkin.
That is why we were so slow to discover it.
By bringing him back to life as a Spirit Realm Detective,
we assisted him in becoming a demonkin.
If the Great King had not noticed that Urameshi shared a trace wavelength
with the boundary tunnel, it would probably be too late already.
Ironic though it may be, it would not have been surprising if,
under other circumstances, instead of Sensui,
Urameshi had been the one who attempted to open a hole into the Demon Realm.
How can this be...?
44 generations before Urameshi Yusuke,
back when there was no periphery field in place
between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm,
a demonkin implanted his abominable power within a human!
And now, it dwells within him!
What are you guys talking about!?
Who do you think Urameshi-san has been fighting for up to now?
For the Human Realm, as well as the Spirit Realm...
...he has continued to fight until he wound up like this!
It wouldn't be so bad if you were here to give him a tender burial...
But you say you're going to eliminate him...!?
So you say he has demonkin blood in him.
So what if he does!?
You stupid bastard! That's the most serious thing about this!
If left alone, Urameshi will become even more difficult and dangerous than Sensui.
We bring Yusuke back to life after he dies once,
then make him a Spirit Realm Detective, and now we're going to eliminate him?
Listen to me! We of the Spirit Realm are the ones who made all of this happen!
What's more, Kuwabara and the others, who have worked alongside Yusuke,
are still in the Demon Realm with Sensui.
Are you just going to leave them there!? There's no way I will allow this, Otake!
I'm sorry.
W- why, you...!
Please forgive my lack of courtesy.
Our actions have been decided upon as the will of the Spirit Realm.
Captain!
It's Urameshi!
T- this is bad! That's no longer a person's Reiki, it's Yoki!
The awakening has begun!
Fire!!
A Reikaiju beast!
Pay it no mind! Fire!
Fire! Fire!
Stop shooting!
Puu, that's enough. I'm all right.
T- the demonkin child has finally...!
What's with you? I'm gone for a little while, and you went and got huge, huh?
I heard the last half of what you were saying.
So I'm the descendent of a demonkin, am I?
That explains why I feel so invigorated now. It means I've been reborn.
W- what a Yoki he's got...!
Y- Yusuke...!
C- Captain, with our level of spiritual power,
there's no way we can stand against it any more!
"It"? Who do you think you're talking about!?
Bow your head! Who do you take me for?
I am he who carries the Devil's blood!
Now then, as long as I am awakening, why don't I show you my true form...?
Just...
...funning you! I'm kidding, you idiots!
Koenma! Kuwabara and the others are in the Demon Realm by now, huh?
Y- yeah...
All right, I'd better hurry.
They must be having a hard time against Sensui right about now.
W- wait! What exactly are you...?
Geez, shut up, would you? Or I'll gobble you up!
W- what are you planning to do by going to the Demon Realm!?
Eh!? Don't be ridiculous! I am Urameshi Yusuke!
Whether brought back to life, or reborn, I'm nothing else!
I don't care if my ancestors were demonkin or aristocrats.
It doesn't change the fact that my big goal right now is to defeat Sensui.
Yusuke, I'm going too!
Y- you can't! You mustn't disobey the Great King's orders any further!
Leave us alone, would you!?
C- Captain!
Captain!
Koenma-sama!
Tell my pop that he can fire me and disown me, whatever he likes!
Mitarai, we'll be back.
Puu! We're off!
Yusuke, we may not be able to get back to the Human Realm if we do this.
Afterward! After, after! I'll worry about that after I've defeated Sensui!
That's so like you!
You're grossing me out! Did you hit your head or something?
Hurry, Puu!
Just you wait, Sensui!
We were told to put down any Yokai that come through here,
but there hasn't been a single one.
There's no way they're coming.
They're sensing our intense Reiki halfway here, and turning back in a panic.
Not even A-class Yokai can come away unscathed against us,
the Special Defense Squad.
Are you bragging about that time you hunted down that Yoko again?
I'm getting tired of hearing about it.
Hold on! There's a tremendous Yoki coming this way!
What?
It's coming from the Human Realm!
Impossible! How can there be Yoki coming from the Human Realm!?
Yo, yo! Move it! Move it!
That was Urameshi Yusuke!
And Koenma-sama!
They failed to eliminate him!
T- then again, that spectral power just now...
Yeah! It was in a league all its own!
I'm sorry to make you suffer so.
Kill us, already. You have been fortunate.
Your power is greater than ours. That's all there is to it.
And in the Demon Realm, that's everything.
I'm sorry, Urameshi. This guy is incredibly strong...
I will put you... out of your misery.
What is that terrific Yoki? It's coming from the hole...
It can't be...
Sensui... sorry to keep you waiting.
Come on! Let's pick up where we left off!
Sensui, the human who controls the ultimate battle aura, and Yusuke,
reawakened as a demonkin...
What will be the outcome of their battle?
Whether I'm a human or a monster, it doesn't matter to me!
Right now, he stands in front of my eyes. That's good enough. No problem!
But there's something inside of me--
someone who isn't me that's getting in the way!
Who the hell are you!?
Next time: "The Ultimate Battle! Proof of Demonkin"
The Other World's not watching for nothing!
When my letter reaches you, don't break the seal,
just leave it alone, and after some time has passed,
I'm sure you will understand how I feel now.
This is my first, and last, request.
As gently as we could, it wasn't very hard,
with one purpose, we foolishly embraced.
As twilight closes in, I shoot an arrow of courage
from a distant window, toward your back, as you leave.
Although it still has not stopped raining outside,
the drenched people and the city still believe in the sun.
An old melody, and a blurred silhouette.
Living the easy life doesn't make for a very good picture.
