1. "Yu Yu Hakusho"
Copy !req
2. In a crowded city,
as I bump shoulders, I'm all alone.
Copy !req
3. On an endless prairie,
as the wind whistles by, I'm all alone.
Copy !req
4. Which one is it that makes me
want to cry more, I wonder.
Copy !req
5. Marking it with twin circles,
I feel a bit more grown-up!
Copy !req
6. It must be, that when I run
into these terribly difficult walls,
Copy !req
7. And unexpectedly,
for whatever reason,
Copy !req
8. The courage and power to break through
rises up from within,
Copy !req
9. All because of how, when I run
into these terribly difficult people,
Copy !req
10. They show me kindness, I bet!
Copy !req
11. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
12. The Urameshi Team,
having advanced to the semifinals,
Copy !req
13. visited the stadium to have a look
at who their next opponents would be.
Copy !req
14. There, they were provoked
by the Toguro Team.
Copy !req
15. And so, having confirmed the difference
in powers between Yusuke and Toguro,
Copy !req
16. Mask called Yusuke out alone,
and revealed that she was Genkai.
Copy !req
17. The way you are now, you will lose,
one hundred percent!
Copy !req
18. And not just to Toguro...
Copy !req
19. ...but to me as well!
Copy !req
20. The Greatest Trial From Genkai
Copy !req
21. That's a whole different league
from what the force of my Rei- gun is in!
Copy !req
22. When Reihaido is raised to its highest
level, the cells are activated,
Copy !req
23. and the body is temporarily changed.
Copy !req
24. So then, I will now
present you with a trial.
Copy !req
25. It will be the final, as well as
the greatest trial I give you.
Copy !req
26. A final, greatest trial?
Copy !req
27. Old age...
Copy !req
28. I can't even release as much
power as that any more.
Copy !req
29. The next time, I will
have to risk my life...
Copy !req
30. Old age befalls everyone.
Copy !req
31. As the years pass, your techniques
may become more polished,
Copy !req
32. and your tactics
may also grow more shrewd,
Copy !req
33. but as far as standing up
to overwhelming power goes,
Copy !req
34. the day will surely come
when you can no longer do so.
Copy !req
35. For example, the kind
of power that Toguro has...
Copy !req
36. Ba-san, are you saying
Toguro is stronger than you!?
Copy !req
37. As much as I've gotten older, he is.
Copy !req
38. But there's nothing I can do about that.
Copy !req
39. I will live the way the flow
takes me, and then I will die.
Copy !req
40. I believe that doing so is fine for me.
Copy !req
41. So long as I can leave my hopes
up to the next generation, that is.
Copy !req
42. Now then, I will ask you one more time:
Copy !req
43. Is your desire to become stronger
the same as it was before?
Copy !req
44. Yeah. Even greater than before.
Copy !req
45. Can you withstand
anything you have to do?
Copy !req
46. Anything at all!
Copy !req
47. Good...
Copy !req
48. In that case, killing me...
Copy !req
49. ...killing me is something
you could do, right?
Copy !req
50. What did you just say?
Copy !req
51. Unless you are able to kill me,
you cannot pass this trial.
Copy !req
52. I will be waiting in that cave up ahead.
When you are prepared to kill me, come in!
Copy !req
53. B- Ba-san...
Copy !req
54. H- how could I?
How could I kill Ba-san?
Copy !req
55. Hound Claw!!
Copy !req
56. She took that in my place!
Copy !req
57. Everything that has made me stronger
up to now has been thanks to Ba-san.
Copy !req
58. She's my master...
Copy !req
59. What the hell do I do?
Copy !req
60. Urameshi hasn't come back to the hotel.
Where the hell has he gone?
Copy !req
61. Indeed...
Copy !req
62. Still, there's no way around it,
the semifinals are next.
Copy !req
63. Beginning with the semifinals,
I hear we will move to a different arena,
Copy !req
64. so the conditions
will be more severe too.
Copy !req
65. No doubt about it.
Copy !req
66. Fine with me! Let them bring
arrows and guns against us, I say!
Copy !req
67. We've come to visit you!
Copy !req
68. Forgive the intrusion.
Copy !req
69. What are you guys doing?
We're having a serious talk here.
Copy !req
70. Hey now, what are those
playing cards doing in your hands?
Copy !req
71. T- these? Don't look!
Copy !req
72. Have your injuries
been okay since earlier?
Copy !req
73. Oh! I'm fine! Won't you
play some cards with us?
Copy !req
74. What's with his difference in attitudes?
Copy !req
75. Um, where is Yusuke?
Copy !req
76. Yusuke had something to do,
so he's out right now.
Copy !req
77. Really?
Copy !req
78. For some reason, Puu-chan isn't
feeling well, so I've been concerned...
Copy !req
79. Well now, why don't we get
revved up for the semifinals
Copy !req
80. by throwing a real blast for ourselves!?
Copy !req
81. Yeah!
Copy !req
82. Be sure that you enjoy
yourself in particular,
Copy !req
83. since this might be
your last bash in this world.
Copy !req
84. I can't believe you would
talk that way to your only brother!
Copy !req
85. Cool! I've got the Seven of Diamonds
again, so I get to go first!
Copy !req
86. This is a lot of fun.
Won't you play with us?
Copy !req
87. No, I won't!
Copy !req
88. You find it too easy to adapt yourself!
Copy !req
89. Ba-san...
Copy !req
90. Have you prepared yourself, then?
Copy !req
91. Well, come on, already!
Time won't wait for us.
Copy !req
92. Ba-san!
Copy !req
93. What is it?
Copy !req
94. I can't do it.
I just can't do it.
Copy !req
95. The whole... the whole time,
I stood out there thinking...
Copy !req
96. It was the most I've ever used
my head in my whole life...
Copy !req
97. But I just can't do it, even though
I do want to get stronger...
Copy !req
98. I guess I'm not qualified
to be your pupil, huh?
Copy !req
99. Well, I'll manage
something on my own.
Copy !req
100. I'll at least bust his
sunglasses, you'll see.
Copy !req
101. All right, you pass!
Copy !req
102. What are you wearing
that dumbfounded expression for?
Copy !req
103. Come on in, so I can
present you with the trial.
Copy !req
104. Hey, j- just a minute! I thought I couldn't
do this if I couldn't kill you!
Copy !req
105. Did you think I would
hand down my secrets
Copy !req
106. to anyone who came
to the conclusion...
Copy !req
107. ...that they could kill their master
in order to become stronger?
Copy !req
108. I equally dislike those
who are so untainted
Copy !req
109. that they would turn me down
without taking the trouble to consider it.
Copy !req
110. That's why, Yusuke, you have passed.
Copy !req
111. Dammit, now I'm pissed off!
Copy !req
112. Let me at this trial,
and anything else you have!
Copy !req
113. Do not forget the words you just said.
Copy !req
114. Now then, let's begin.
Copy !req
115. Right.
Copy !req
116. There is something
that I will now give you.
Copy !req
117. The only one who can hold it
Copy !req
118. is the legitimate successor
to the Reikohado-ken techniques.
Copy !req
119. It's so hot! It's as if
Ba-san's body was the sun!
Copy !req
120. What is it?
Copy !req
121. Brother, it appears that this tournament
is going to become even more interesting.
Copy !req
122. To be honest, it is ten years
too soon for you to be accepting this,
Copy !req
123. even if you do have
such exceptional propensities.
Copy !req
124. This is my deepest secret, my Ball
of Spiritual Light, the Reikogyoku!
Copy !req
125. "Reikogyoku"
Copy !req
126. This is an energy ball of Reiki,
condensed to its very limits.
Copy !req
127. The successor is examined
by his own mind and body
Copy !req
128. as to whether they are
to be the true successor.
Copy !req
129. If your body is not up to the task
of accepting this energy,
Copy !req
130. which is like a small sun,
then it will be torn apart!
Copy !req
131. The pain of succession is beyond imagination,
and could go on for several days.
Copy !req
132. If it does not go well, then it's
possible you may never recover,
Copy !req
133. or suffer a mental breakdown,
or in the worst case, even die.
Copy !req
134. You don't have to tell me.
I openly welcome this trial!
Copy !req
135. All right, here goes!
Copy !req
136. Hey, that was nothing at all!
Copy !req
137. M- my body!
Copy !req
138. Endure! Endure this, Yusuke!
Copy !req
139. Here, here, I've got fifth-floor tickets!
Copy !req
140. Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you so much for waiting.
Copy !req
141. I will be serving as your referee
from the semifinals on.
Copy !req
142. "Juri"
My name is Juri.
Copy !req
143. "Juri"
It's a pleasure!
Copy !req
144. Now then, the semifinals are about
to start. From the semifinals on,
Copy !req
145. I, Koto, will be concentrating
only on delivering play-by-play!
Copy !req
146. And now,
Copy !req
147. I will direct you to matters that will
require your attention during the matches.
Copy !req
148. Koenma-sama, this arena
is incredible, huh?
Copy !req
149. From it's outward appearance to the design
on the inside, it's utterly eerie!
Copy !req
150. This is the all-weather dome of darkness,
which they just finished this year.
Copy !req
151. Somehow, without the sky,
it seems almost suffocating, huh?
Copy !req
152. It's like it's alive,
with all this excitement.
Copy !req
153. First, we would like
to introduce the four teams
Copy !req
154. to have won their way
into the semifinals, the Best Four!
Copy !req
155. First, the Gorenja Team!
Copy !req
156. Next, the Toguro Team!
Copy !req
157. Onto the Uraotogi Team!
Copy !req
158. Finally, the Urameshi Team!
Copy !req
159. Burn in hell, Urameshi!
Copy !req
160. Don't you come out here, you bastards!
Copy !req
161. Those are the four teams.
Now, please look at the tournament card!
Copy !req
162. The first match of the semifinals will be
the Urameshi Team versus the Uraotogi Team!
Copy !req
163. And now, the contestants
will enter the arena!
Copy !req
164. Huh? What's this? There aren't
enough people on the Urameshi Team!
Copy !req
165. Hey, what's going on?
There's only three of them!
Copy !req
166. Koenma-sama, Yusuke
and Mask are not here.
Copy !req
167. That's to be expected. He is
receiving his trial from Genkai.
Copy !req
168. There's no reason for him
to come back so easily.
Copy !req
169. What are we going to do? Their opponents
are powerful enough to be in the Best Four,
Copy !req
170. so for them to fight
with just the three of them...
Copy !req
171. They'll just have to manage something.
Copy !req
172. Still, I wonder if Yusuke is all right...
Copy !req
173. So Yusuke and Mask never
came back after all, huh?
Copy !req
174. There must be some substantial reason for it.
In any case, all we can do is wait for them.
Copy !req
175. Those guys are going to be a walk
in the park, even without Urameshi!
Copy !req
176. Let's go!
Copy !req
177. Yusuke, endure this! Endure this pain
that seems to be ripping your body apart!
Copy !req
178. If you do not, you cannot
become my successor.
Copy !req
179. Now, with only five minutes
before the start of the matches,
Copy !req
180. the excitement within the stadium
has grown even higher.
Copy !req
181. And so, with our attention
on who will win this first round,
Copy !req
182. be it the Uraotogi Team,
or be it the Urameshi Team,
Copy !req
183. "all we see before us is vanity,"
as in an "assault by extreme force,"
Copy !req
184. we witness something
"more unique than anything else,"
that being a "Yakiniku Combo Platter..."
Copy !req
185. er, rather, "survival of the fittest."
Copy !req
186. I've gotten so excited, I don't
even know what I'm saying...
Copy !req
187. The dome's interior
lighting has been turned on,
Copy !req
188. and the semifinals are
just about to get underway!
Copy !req
189. However, what could this mean?
Copy !req
190. I don't see the all-important Urameshi Yusuke
or Masked Warrior with the Urameshi Team.
Copy !req
191. Could this mean that Contestant Hiei
and Contestant Kurama
Copy !req
192. will have to fight twice each?
Copy !req
193. Y- you stupid bastard! I'm all
it will take to handle these guys!
Copy !req
194. Looks like we're being looked lightly upon.
What happened to the other two?
Copy !req
195. They said you were beneath them.
Copy !req
196. Now then, please decide the manner
in which you will match up.
Copy !req
197. Enough talk.
Let's hurry and get this started.
Copy !req
198. Aren't you the feisty one, kid?
You're going to be first?
Copy !req
199. And I will be last.
I can do this all by myself.
Copy !req
200. Lately, I've been in a foul temper.
Stress has been building up, you see...
Copy !req
201. Look, don't get so upset.
Copy !req
202. How about we use these to determine
the opponent match-ups?
Copy !req
203. They're dice, which have
each of our names written on them.
Copy !req
204. If "Free choice" is rolled,
you can freely choose your warrior.
Copy !req
205. You can fight as many times as your name
comes up. As long as you're alive, that is.
Copy !req
206. How leisurely of you.
Whatever you like.
Copy !req
207. If Yusuke or Mask's names come up,
I'll fight in their place.
Copy !req
208. And so, with the consent of both teams,
Copy !req
209. we will have one-on- one fights,
according to the dice!
Copy !req
210. Okay then, let's go!
Copy !req
211. Hiei and Makintaro, huh?
Copy !req
212. Your cheap tricks have backfired on you.
Copy !req
213. You're just a runt who's all mouth!
Copy !req
214. It has been decided that
the first match will be between
Copy !req
215. Contestant Hiei
and Contestant Makintaro!
Copy !req
216. Begin!
Copy !req
217. That's it for this match.
Copy !req
218. Stop playing around!
Copy !req
219. What's the matter!? Did you
get scared and wet yourself?
Copy !req
220. You're such a cretin.
Haven't you even realized?
Copy !req
221. What kind of nonsense
are you talking about?
Copy !req
222. Come on! Come and get it!
Copy !req
223. Hmph. I already have.
Copy !req
224. My hand! My hand, my hand!
Copy !req
225. Idiot! He took him too lightly.
Copy !req
226. You bastard!
That was incredibly quick!
Copy !req
227. Did you see that?
Copy !req
228. No... not at all...
Copy !req
229. Give up, already.
Copy !req
230. Yuck!
Copy !req
231. My arm! Why you!
Copy !req
232. Why, you! How dare you!!
Copy !req
233. Masakari-ken!!
Copy !req
234. Masakari-ken
"Demon Hunting Foment Attack"
Copy !req
235. You're mine!
Copy !req
236. Gotcha!
Copy !req
237. That was an afterimage.
Copy !req
238. Die.
Copy !req
239. Awesome!
Copy !req
240. Koenma-sama, did you see all of that?
Copy !req
241. Yes, I did... at least I think so...
Copy !req
242. - I've had it!
- My eyes are getting all red.
Copy !req
243. The winner is Hiei!
Copy !req
244. Contestant Hiei put Contestant
Makintaro away in the blink of an eye!
Copy !req
245. We now continue on
to the second match!
Copy !req
246. Now then, roll the dice!
I have a feeling I'll come up again.
Copy !req
247. Having received the greatest
of trials from Master Genkai,
Copy !req
248. Urameshi Yusuke writhes in pain.
Copy !req
249. However, even during that time,
the semifinals proceed further and further.
Copy !req
250. Will Yusuke indeed be able
to assume the Reikohado-ken?
Copy !req
251. Dammit, that Hiei bastard
is showing off all by himself!
Copy !req
252. Are those dice rigged somehow?
Copy !req
253. Even so, this Kuromomotaro guy
looks like he's going to be some trouble.
Copy !req
254. I've got a bad feeling about those
mysterious millet dumplings that he carries.
Copy !req
255. If you keep leaving yourself open
like that, you're going to get hurt!
Copy !req
256. Next time: " Hiei Battles Consecutively!
Shoot Your Kokuryu-Ha!"
Copy !req
257. Huh? By the way,
where has Urameshi gone?
Copy !req
258. As my heart
is about to burst,
Copy !req
259. the mild wind that blows
against us is gentle.
Copy !req
260. Facing each other,
hand in hand,
Copy !req
261. the usual twilight envelops us,
and melts away.
Copy !req
262. Isn't it funny? They're not even
the slightest bit alike,
Copy !req
263. your smiling face, and mine.
But right now,
Copy !req
264. it feels like
I'm looking in a mirror.
Copy !req
265. I am not feeling sad;
everything is fine, after all.
Copy !req
266. There, hiding within an offhanded
greeting, lies a "thank you."
Copy !req
267. Sayonara, bye bye,
take care of yourself,
Copy !req
268. this is the line
I'm drawing between us,
Copy !req
269. so catch it,
if you would.
Copy !req
270. Sayonara, bye bye,
take care of yourself.
Copy !req
