"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!
I can't let you have such a hard time with that one...
W- what?
Let me show you how to use your power!
When I regained consciousness, I had shot the Rei-gun.
Sensui! Get out of the way!
It had power beyond compare. There's no way I could release it now.
And this guy is deep within the Demon Realm.
I'm going to go look for the guy who controlled me!
What are you talking about!?
Let's just let the matter drop, already!
As it is, I haven't gotten any satisfaction.
He cut in on a sincere fight I was having. He's going to pay for that!
Yusuke...
Think hard before you decide.
You can go back to the Human Realm, or stay here in the Demon Realm...
One or the other.
I'll give you some time to think.
I don't need any of your time.
What?
Let's go home, to the Human Realm.
Epilogue! Towards Tomorrow!
They're back!
Who's that?
B- beats me...
Yusuke!
Urameshi-san?
It's Yusuke!
Yusuke!
Welcome back!
Yo, I'm home.
You're right! It's Yusuke!
Geez, you look completely different!
What in the world happened to you?
Right! What's the story with your head?
What are those patterns? Some kind of spell?
Well, a lot has happened. It will take a long time to tell it all.
But there doesn't appear to be any time to talk right now.
The Special Defense Squad folks, huh?
Koenma-sama, the Spirit Realm will not forgive what you have done.
What!?
Yama the Great declared that Urameshi Yusuke was to be eliminated.
You bear a heavy responsibility for disobeying that order,
and allowing Urameshi to come back to life as a demonkin.
Yeah, I know. I will accept any punishment coming to me.
Hey, you all!
W- what?
I don't have any intention of picking a fight with anyone that I know I can beat.
What?
However, I will take on all comers, and depending on how things develop,
I will crush them with my full might!
Koenma did his best. You guys have no business saying anything about him!
And just you try pulling any more of your obnoxious little stunts around me!
I'll kill you!
Our mission was to close up the hole leading to the Demon Realm.
There is no need for pointless fighting.
Let's go!
Koenma, I'm sorry.
What are you talking about? That's my line.
It's over, huh?
Yeah.
All right! I think I'll go home.
It feels like we've been fighting for a whole year.
I've heard those words before.
Thank goodness. Everyone's safe. Thank goodness...
Keiko, what are you doing? You'll be left behind!
Wait for me!
Kamiya, you were in jail, weren't you?
You're lucky to have gotten this far safely.
I suppose so. I was pretty desperate at the time.
Your jailbreak?
It sure is quiet, huh?
Yeah. Even the Makaichu bugs have disappeared, let alone the Yokai.
Sensui lost.
Yes, he did.
Hagiri...
That cut on your chest was one serious wound.
I've cut open hundreds of people,
but I found myself admiring it without realizing it.
All the crucial muscles and organs were missed.
It wasn't even like you were "cut," it was more like you were "threaded."
Sensui-san...
When I saw your wound, my intuition told me something.
Sensui was stronger than anyone,
but even so, we probably still would not beat the others.
It doesn't matter. It was fun, in its own way.
In the end, I guess dreams are something you wake up from.
Well, now...
I need to hide myself. Hagiri, what are you going to do?
The usual. Eat breakfast, and go to school.
School, huh?
Kamiya, what about you?
We'll see. It'll be like walking through this mist.
I had Kurama cut my hair.
The strange patterns on my body were gone after I woke up.
And I returned to my normal life.
Oh, are you cutting class again!?
You'll never get to be a good boilerman like this.
Look, if there's something bothering you, tell me!
Ah, I can't take it. Why is it that you can't enjoy calm, peaceful days like this?
It's been nearly a week that things have been peaceful.
Oh, come to think of it, I got a letter from Mitarai.
Mitarai and Amanuma have both gone back to school.
But then, those two didn't get along with everyday life,
which is why they fell for Sensui's enticements, right?
They're sure to cause more problems, you know? That's what I'm worried about.
One Week Later
Game Center
Ah, damn! I can't beat this!
Amanuma, you're sure good at games. I thought all you did was study.
But how come you're in a game center so far away from town?
We're on our way back from a practice match we had with our soccer club.
No particular reason.
I just didn't want to see you guys.
Is it okay if we go over to your house sometime?
Fine with me. My parents won't be around until late at night.
That's cool.
My folks run their business out of our home, so they're always nagging me.
You wish you could just get rid of them once in a while, huh?
You're kidding, right?
Sometimes, I seriously think so.
Sometimes? I think about it every day.
They lord it over me, just because they're the parents.
And as stupid as they are, they're so stubborn about telling their son to study.
And when I get good grades, all they say is "keep working harder."
You guys are my parents, you work harder, too!
It's tough having to be brought up.
What do you know? Everyone's the same.
Yukon kaiki!! ("Spirit of the Dead, Return!")
It sure is nice to be alive, huh?
Did you say something?
It's nothing.
I know! How about coming over right now?
Huh? Right now?
We'll play games!
You're sure? Do you have Dokabon? I'm pretty good at that.
Yeah! I've got nearly every game!
Amanuma Tsukihito, age 11, type B.
Born November 7, lives together with his parents in a household of three.
Afterward, he entered a private middle school,
and through playing games, would gradually expand his circle of friends,
and come to live the usual life of a student.
Come on, this way!
Wanted: Kamiya Minoru
You there, do you know anything about that man?
No. I thought he looked like someone I know, but it's a coincidental resemblance.
Just my imagination.
Kamiya Minoru, age 29, type AB.
Born August 20. Using his own ability, he altered his face, and made his getaway.
Afterward, posing as a psychic surgeon, he would establish the "Miracle Hands Dojo,"
and using his abilities, treat many sick people.
Who could do something so awful?
Then again, I can somewhat understand them.
Like when you have an incredibly mighty weapon,
you tend to want to try out its power, you know?
Or when you're in a bad mood,
and you feel like picking on someone who's weaker than you.
But I put on the brakes. I think to myself "that's going to hurt," or "poor thing."
And so, I'm a little envious of people who don't put on their brakes,
and can do something like this.
However, it's people who forget about how their own bodies are alive
because of the sacrifice of countless plants and animals,
and then do something like this, that I greatly despise.
There are memories still remaining in her body.
Strong, fearful memories. It must have been frightening. She's looking at the culprits.
Three boys, all in their late teens.
They appear gentle at first glance, like honor students.
Here, these are their faces.
Each one of them has a reprehensible expression on their face.
People are cowards, and become more brutal the more they mass together, don't they?
I'm going to go hunt them down now.
They're my classmates. I can't even stand to look at their faces anymore.
Hagiri Kaname, age 17, type O.
Born December 3, lives in a family of four with his mother, brother and sister.
He would disappear after graduating from high school.
You want to take the entrance exam for Kaiun Academy?
Yes.
To be honest, looking at your grades from the second half of last year,
it will be tough for you to pass.
I'm sure I can make a comeback from that.
Well, if you put your mind to it, you should be all right.
Mitarai, did something happen?
It may sound strange for me to say so, but you're looking happier now.
A lot has happened, and it has all taken a big load off of me.
Mitarai Kiyoshi, age 14, type A.
Born February 10, lives in a family of four with both parents and a sister.
Afterward, he would be accepted into the school he chose.
Genkai-san, this is where we part ways.
Yeah.
U- um, I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help when it got critical.
All three of you were of tremendous service.
Thanks to you guys, Yusuke and the others became motivated, after all.
Ba-san, how can you say that! I always take things seriously.
When did you ever take anything seriously?
Just how much do you think I expected I was going to die there!?
You're hurting me! I'm dying here!
Why, you! Ease up a little, would you!?
Ow! Stop! Stop!
Yanagisawa, Kaito, Kido!
Yes?
As best you can, refrain from using the special abilities you have.
The more you use them, the more you separate yourself
from normal people, after all.
Okay, take care.
Right. Thank you very much.
Kido Asato, with the ability to prevent an opponent from moving
by stepping on their shadow...
Yanagisawa Mitsunari, with the ability to copy an opponent's shape,
voice, fingerprints, and even their memories and personality...
Kaito Yu, with the ability to draw out one's soul
if a forbidden word is used inside his Territory,
as well as making violent actions impossible.
Come visit us again sometime!
See you!
The three of them went back to their own schools,
and ever since, they have observed Genkai's warning,
never again using their special abilities.
Afterward, they would graduate without incident.
Why did you bring me along?
Koenma said it was for the best.
Is that the Black Chapters tape?
A record of crimes showing the darker side of humanity.
Of all the sins that mankind has ever committed,
those are the most brutal and cruel from among them,
archived over a length of tens of thousands of hours.
I'd like to return that to the Spirit Realm Hall of Materials.
I would-- but Hiei, if you really want to go back to the Demon Realm,
you could trade them for that.
It's worthless material...
It's quiet...
How quiet it is...
Say, Shinobu, when you were Shinobu, you felt pain beyond imagination.
And yet, you never once showed any indication.
I'm a little bit distressed about that.
And now, you won't say anything. Shinobu, you just go on sleeping in peace like this.
No one will ever bother us again.
Sensui Shinobu, former Spirit Realm Detective, age 26, type A. Born June 6.
Itsuki, age, date of birth, and everything else, unknown.
Afterward, nobody knows what became of these two.
What does Koenma-sama say?
It says he does not plan to return to the Spirit Realm.
It is true that Koenma-sama went against the laws of the Spirit Realm, but still...
it is also true that the credit for successfully sealing the boundary tunnel
should go to Koenma-sama.
King Yama the Great...!
Koenma defied me.
I thought of him as a child... When did he go and grow up?
I will inform you of Koenma's punishment later.
Yes, sir!
For the love of...!
Whoa! Hey, Keiko-chan, have you seen Urameshi?
I don't know where he is. Is something wrong?
Oh, I forgot that I lent him my math textbook yesterday. It's my next class.
Let's see...
Have you searched the roof? He often skips class and takes naps up there.
Now that you mention it, I haven't looked on the roof. I'll be back in a jiffy!
Urameshi!
Damn, he's not here, either.
Where the hell could that bastard have gone?
I guess I'll have to borrow from Keiko-chan or something.
Ordinary life is too dull.
Everyone else seems to have come back to new lives.
But I was at a loss.
Die!!
Sensui! Get out of the way!
That's right... there is still that guy who controlled me...
That was not my own fight.
And that doesn't... sit well with me...
Give it up! When someone like you is burdened all by themselves,
the best you can accomplish is shallow thinking.
The more you think, the more you're going to spin your wheels in the mud.
How about this? Why don't you go see someone to help you unwind?
Sanada Kuroko, the first Spirit Realm Detective.
Next time: "Yusuke's Destiny -- Footsteps of Danger"
Know yourself, and then overcome, Yusuke!
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.
