"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!
Let him have it!
Why, you...!
I give you this much of a handicap, and that's the best you can do!?
I had that dream again...
And here even I know the reasons behind it.
"Yusuke's Destiny-- Footsteps of Danger"
--Ikeda. --Here.
--Inoue. --Here.
--Ueda. --Here.
Urameshi.
What, is Urameshi absent again?
Yukimura, what's up with Urameshi?
Beats me. It's not my job to look after Yusuke.
Oh, I see.
--Enomoto. --Here.
--Ohashi. --Here.
That bastard... where has he run off to? Geez...
Kuwabara. Is Kuwabara out?
Here! I've been here for a hundred years!
Yusuke...
What's the matter?
Nothing... Koenma, you still haven't been released from being grounded?
Not yet. I did defy Pop pretty badly.
I can't just go strolling on back to the Spirit Realm.
I plan to stay here in this world for a little while.
Botan managed to tell me on the sly,
that Pop has scattered the Spirit Realm escorts that used to work under me
all over the place.
This is Pop we're talking about. He's got something in mind.
Don't let your guard down, Yusuke.
What do you mean?
I suspect that Pop hasn't withdrawn his order to eliminate you yet.
Once Yama the Great gives an order,
it cannot be overturned all that easily.
I don't have to say more for you to understand, right?
Assassins from the Spirit Realm? Sounds interesting.
And here I was just getting bored.
Haven't you learned your lesson yet,
even after going through that life-and-death battle with Sensui?
That... that fight... I wasn't the one who finished it!
That bastard that overtook me just did as he pleased.
Do you regret it?
What?
Coming back to the Human Realm.
There's just something missing, that's all.
It's like begging for something you can't have.
Begging for something you can't have?
In this world, there's nobody left that I can have a decent fight against.
But then, if I had remained in the Demon Realm,
then there's the peace of this world, as well as Mom, Keiko,
and even that fool Kuwabara-- naturally, I'd come to miss all of them.
Which is why you're begging for something you can't have?
That's what I mean. In the end, no matter where I am,
there will always be something missing.
But still, for some reason, I just can't shake it off.
Ever since my one-on-one fight with Sensui got intruded upon,
no matter what I do, it feels like something has been left unfinished,
and I can't do anything about it.
Yusuke, try talking to Genkai about it.
Knowing her, she should be able to help you find some answers.
Ba-san...?
Yeah.
I doubt that.
Don't get soft on me!
It's your ass, you wipe it.
See? Just as I thought.
Whatever you do from here on is up to you.
Even supposing you grow tired of everything in this world,
and decide to blow it away, I no longer have the power to stop you.
W- what are you telling me that for, out of the blue?
I lost again!
Everyone has something that they can destroy depending on their mood.
It could be a toy, or a pet, or their family, or their country,
depending on the person.
Yours is just much larger than others. That's all.
If you ever feel like destroying yours, come here before you do.
I will let you have my life first.
That's stupid.
That's what I would ask.
Take this with you.
Whose address is this?
That's the address where Sato Kuroko lives.
Sato Kuroko? Who's that?
Her maiden name is Sanada Kuroko. She was the first Spirit Realm Detective.
The first Spirit Realm Detective?
She's nearer to you than I am.
Just chatting with her should be more insightful.
Urameshi. Urameshi!
Absent again today, huh?
Someone once said
that a single rotten apple spoils all the other apples in the box.
However, you all are not apples.
You're people. I hope that you all take a lesson from the scum of this class...
and think to yourselves, "I'm not going to be like that."
He doesn't understand a thing, does he?
Where do you find scum that sparkles as brightly as him!?
But then, what is he doing? Here the world is at peace again,
and he could be enjoying a normal school life.
All right, that's all the extra talk I've got. Now, class time, class time.
Let's get back to the lesson! Does everyone have their textbooks open?
Damn, I'm starting to feel like I'm getting passed off onto someone else.
"Private Property Ahead Beware of Dogs!"
Beware of dogs...? Good grief.
Nobody's ever going to come to such an out-of-the-way place as this.
What're these...!?
These grotesque bones...?
Two threatening presences...
K- kids...?
You haven't learned anything, and you're still coming after our mommy,
you Yokai in disguise!?
It won't even take Mommy to face the likes of you!
Now, now, children, go play Justice-Man someplace else.
--No more talk! --No more talk!
--Damn! --Yow-ow-ow!
Hey, you dummies! Come on up here!
Rats! He's pretty good.
In that case,
we'll get serious, too!
Soryu-ho!! ("Twin Dragon Blast")
Kaisei! Fubuki! Stop!
Mommy!
Okay! Fubuki is stopping!
You're Yusuke-kun, right?
And you're the first Spirit Realm Detective, Kuroko-san?
I received word from Master Genkai that someone spirited would be coming.
Sorry about that. I've trained them to attack when they sense Yoki.
You can relax, though. Once they know your face, they won't attack.
So, the dogs from the entrance are...?
That's right, these guys. They're more vicious than dogs, though.
Which means, those bones that I saw along the way...
They were probably from a Yokai that they put down.
Welcome. I'm Kuroko's husband, Sato Shogo.
He's a novelist.
It's a pleasure. Urameshi Yusuke.
Know what? Your name is weird!
"Urameshi Yusuke," of all things! "Urameshi!"
Well, what about you guys?
We've got cool names, huh?
Yeah!
Come now, the two of you introduce yourselves.
Sanada Kaisei, age 9. I like watching TV.
Sanada Fubuki, age 8. I like Hagiwara Masato-kun.
Sanada? Not Sato?
Sanada is cooler, after all!
There are Satos all over the place.
And it has a "sweet" sound to it.
Don't go saying that, you two.
Don't mind them, don't mind them. That's just child's talk.
So, you sent him to Kuroko's, huh?
Yeah. Was I wrong to?
No. Knowing Kuroko, there's nothing to worry about.
It sounds like there's something up.
Pop's orders to eliminate Yusuke have gone out to all sorts of places.
What?
In both the Spirit Realm and the Human Realm,
there are only a very small handful of people who could defeat Yusuke now.
You mean, those who once served as Spirit Realm Detectives?
That's who I mean.
Your pop can be pretty harsh, huh?
This is you?
The one in the middle?
I was 14 at the time. I became a Spirit Realm Detective afterward,
and in three years, I grew 40 whole centimeters taller,
while my weight remained unchanged.
In another three years, I'm going to be a Spirit Realm Detective, too!
You couldn't make it. You've got a weakness for girls!
Well now... shall we have something to drink?
How about some brandy?
Really? You're pretty understanding, huh?
We'll have some too!
I'll have some!
Okay, okay.
Hey, hey,
are you sure it's okay to be giving alcohol to these little guys?
It's fine.
It's this, after all.
Whiskey bonbons? Does that go for me, too?
Yes. Just a drop of brandy in your tea.
I knew it...
A-N-X-
I-E-T-Y...
"Anxiety." Shinpai.
H-E-S-
I-T-A-T... "Hesitation." Tamerai.
P-A-T-I...
"Patience."
Gaman... Gaman...
Hey, Kaisei and Fubuki! You're pretty unhinged after just a chocolate or two!
You be quiet!
Mommy, what about you? You're drunk after just one beer!
She must give you no end of trouble.
You can tell, can you?
Hey, Yusuke! Show me your finishing move! I'll take it on!
You're about ten years too young.
You know, I'll never forget what happened that evening.
Did you train him to do this, too?
You can tell?
Kuroko-san, why did you give up being Spirit Realm Detective?
I retired to get married.
I gave up the rough and tumble world and decided to live for love.
Those Yokai never learn though, and they sometimes come after me,
just like always.
My days may be ordinary and dull, but I'm happy for what they are.
I suppose you're right.
Just before I got married, I met Shinobu-kun.
I could tell his spiritual strength from just a glance.
But he looked so sad.
What?
You've got nothing to worry about on that point.
You could go on being Spirit Realm Detective for another ten years.
I guarantee it!
I've already been fired.
Say, Shogo, why don't you have a look at this boy's future?
He tells fortunes as a hobby. He puts the pros to shame.
Okay...
Yusuke-kun, can I see your hand for a minute?
Now, turn your face this way, straight at me.
Yes...
You currently have no discontentment in the things around you.
However...
Somewhere in your heart, you have a desire to always be placed in danger.
Bingo! You've got it.
If you would think about your own feelings first,
you wouldn't take action as much as when you're wandering.
What do you mean by that?
Whether you want it to or not,
danger is approaching you from somewhere.
Do you get visitors this late at night?
Well, my arrangements with my editor were supposed to be for tomorrow.
Who's there?
Who are you people?
We have no business with you.
We need to speak to that man over there.
To'o!
I apologize for the late hour. And since our time is limited,
I will speak right to the point, if I may.
A matter for Yusuke-kun? I'm surprised that you found this place.
We followed the Yoki.
So? What is your business with me?
We have come from the Demon Realm.
Wha--?
Demon Realm...?
Urameshi Yusuke-san, let us speak about your destiny.
My destiny?
Yes. It is a fate that you cannot avoid.
Visitors from the Demon Realm appear before Yusuke.
What is this destiny of Yusuke's, which this trio speaks of?
Someone's waiting for me in the Demon Realm.
And there was that one guy...
But still, I just can't seem to bring myself to trust them.
For one thing, they all look like they're monks,
but they're unusually secular.
Hey, you guys! What are you hiding from me!?
Next time: "Visitors of Darkness-- The Mystery Deepens"
Brace yourselves, you corrupt priests!
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.
