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. Yusuke had been abducted
by three other boys.
Copy !req
13. Kuwabara, together with
Botan, Kurama, and Hiei,
Copy !req
14. rushed to the appointed location.
Copy !req
15. What they found waiting for them was a
boy with a special ability named Kaito.
Copy !req
16. Within his Territory, tactics involving
physical force cannot be used.
Copy !req
17. The only thing they can do
is win at his game of words.
Copy !req
18. "The Power of Taboo! Kurama's Intellect"
Copy !req
19. "Whoever enters this house must by
no means say " hot." If they do..."
Copy !req
20. Yes, that's right.
Copy !req
21. Inside that house,
you must not say "hot."
Copy !req
22. What if you do say it?
Copy !req
23. - Jorge...
- Yes?
Copy !req
24. You'll be surprised to hear this!
Copy !req
25. You'll have your soul taken
out of you, just like Hiei did!
Copy !req
26. Not to mention the fact
that they kidnapped Yusuke.
Copy !req
27. These guys are quite capable.
Copy !req
28. We better not take
our eyes off of them.
Copy !req
29. How many times do I have to tell you?
Copy !req
30. No matter how hard
you struggle, it's futile.
Copy !req
31. It appears that one of your friends
has fallen victim to the Territory.
Copy !req
32. What do you mean!?
Copy !req
33. Afterwards, we'll take time
and explain it all to you.
Copy !req
34. There's no particular reason why
we need to keep silent, is there?
Copy !req
35. All we have to do is not
say the taboo word, right?
Copy !req
36. That's easy enough.
Copy !req
37. Kurama, tell me about him.
What kind of guy is he?
Copy !req
38. Kaito Yu. He's one of my classmates.
Copy !req
39. Ever since he entered the school,
Copy !req
40. people have been talking about
his exceptionally high IQ.
Copy !req
41. He has a genius-like intellect
Copy !req
42. unlike any other seen at
Meio Academy since it began.
Copy !req
43. You're just bragging about yourself
in a roundabout way, aren't you?
Copy !req
44. Not once have I ever beaten
you on the comprehensive test.
Copy !req
45. You're better at the
literary arts, right?
Copy !req
46. You've already published several
books of philosophical essays
Copy !req
47. and literary critiques.
Copy !req
48. You could say that you're a
specialist when it comes to words.
Copy !req
49. So you're a genius up-and-coming
literary man, are you?
Copy !req
50. You really can't judge a
person by how they look!
Copy !req
51. Thank you.
Copy !req
52. You must really take us for simpletons!
Copy !req
53. Did you think we would say that
word just because of all this?
Copy !req
54. But you know, it is stuffy in this room!
Copy !req
55. I'm raising some tropical
plants in here, that's why.
Copy !req
56. The room temperature is at 27 degrees,
and the humidity is 80 percent.
Copy !req
57. I suppose it could be hard
on those not used to it.
Copy !req
58. If you're thirsty, there are several
kinds of drinks in the refrigerator.
Copy !req
59. There are glasses, too.
Copy !req
60. I don't suppose there would
happen to be any juice with
Copy !req
61. truth serum in it, would
there? You drink first!
Copy !req
62. I never even thought of that. Indeed...
Copy !req
63. You really are a bright one, huh?
Copy !req
64. You give me too much praise.
Copy !req
65. I'll serve! I have to be doing
something, or I can't settle down.
Copy !req
66. Oh, my! There are all kinds
of things in here. Let's see...
Copy !req
67. Kuwa-chan, is orange
juice okay with you?
Copy !req
68. Yeah. Ought to have you put
some ice in, while you're at it.
Copy !req
69. And a straw, too, if any are there.
Copy !req
70. Geez, that's a tall order, huh?
Copy !req
71. Kuwa-chan!
Copy !req
72. There. That's two.
Copy !req
73. But why!?
Copy !req
74. Kuwa-chan never said "hot," did he?
Copy !req
75. Oh, no! Oh, no!
Copy !req
76. Whoops!
Copy !req
77. There, that's three.
Copy !req
78. Good grief, they fall
into my grasp so easily!
Copy !req
79. Why!? Why was Kuwabara's
soul taken from him?
Copy !req
80. Botan's grand stupidity aside,
Kuwabara never said "hot," Jorge!
Copy !req
81. Right.
Copy !req
82. Let's rewind it and see.
Copy !req
83. Here it is.
Copy !req
84. Kuwa-chan, is orange
juice okay with you?
Copy !req
85. Yeah. Ought to have you put
some ice in, while you're at it.
Copy !req
86. And a straw, too, if any are there.
Copy !req
87. Geez, that's a tall order, huh?
Copy !req
88. Where is it he said "hot"?
Copy !req
89. Yeah. Ought to have you put
some ice in, while you're at it.
Copy !req
90. "Yeah. Ought to have..."
Copy !req
91. "Yeah. Ought..."
Copy !req
92. "Yea- h- ot..."
Copy !req
93. He did say "hot," didn't he!?
Copy !req
94. He did say it! Is that legal?
Copy !req
95. You never asked, so I didn't tell you,
Copy !req
96. but inside my Territory,
taboo words are strictly observed.
Copy !req
97. You cannot say the sounds for
"h," "o," and "t" in a row.
Copy !req
98. There was no meaning
or intent behind it.
Copy !req
99. Those are just the cold, hard rules.
Copy !req
100. I get it.
Copy !req
101. Souls sure are pretty things, huh?
The girl one is my favorite color.
Copy !req
102. There's no way to strengthen
a soul by itself, you know?
Copy !req
103. Beautiful and fragile... For those
of us who can touch them like this,
Copy !req
104. with just a little force,
we can crush them so easily...
Copy !req
105. Maybe I should see what happens if I
scratch one of them just a little bit...
Copy !req
106. Just a little bit...
Copy !req
107. Go ahead and try.
Copy !req
108. But let me warn you, to me,
that would be taboo.
Copy !req
109. If you try to pull something like that,
Copy !req
110. I will use any means
that I can to kill you.
Copy !req
111. Nice. I get the feeling that
I'm finally seeing your true face.
Copy !req
112. How long do you think you
can maintain that pose?
Copy !req
113. Is that... the key to that door!?
Copy !req
114. Well?
Copy !req
115. T- the key should be
right here in my pocket!
Copy !req
116. Impossible...
Copy !req
117. It's gone!
Copy !req
118. When were you able to?
Copy !req
119. It didn't particularly hurt, right?
Copy !req
120. I just borrowed it out of
your breast pocket on the sly.
Copy !req
121. Dammit...
Copy !req
122. As long as I obey your rules,
Copy !req
123. it would appear I can still
use my abilities as well.
Copy !req
124. You mean I was
pickpocketed by a plant!?
Copy !req
125. That's his ability?
Copy !req
126. Take close care of those three souls.
Copy !req
127. I am going to get them back
from you safely, no matter what.
Copy !req
128. Unless you beat me,
you cannot take back these souls.
Copy !req
129. By the way, can you change
what the taboo word is?
Copy !req
130. I am not going to say that word.
You won't say it either, right?
Copy !req
131. We could sit here like
this for hours on end.
Copy !req
132. Of course I can change
what the taboo word is.
Copy !req
133. The truth is, I planned
to do so from the start.
Copy !req
134. Once it became one-on- one
between us two,
Copy !req
135. I wanted to make the rules
a little more advanced.
Copy !req
136. If you let me choose
what the taboo word is,
Copy !req
137. I assert that I can make you say
the taboo word within 45 minutes.
Copy !req
138. Oh? Within 45 minutes?
Copy !req
139. And what if I don't say the
taboo word within that time?
Copy !req
140. I will give you my soul.
Copy !req
141. So, how about it?
Copy !req
142. Is it too much in your favor
that you're a bit scared?
Copy !req
143. Since he's just barely
learned what my ability is,
Copy !req
144. it will be rather enjoyable to see
what kind of taboo he comes up with.
Copy !req
145. There's no reason to be uneasy.
Copy !req
146. Ever since I became
aware of this ability,
Copy !req
147. I've researched every type
of word puzzle, cipher,
Copy !req
148. right down to the very
heart of the words.
Copy !req
149. All right, you've got it.
Those conditions will be fine.
Copy !req
150. So, tell me what kind of
taboo you've thought up.
Copy !req
151. The taboo will be one letter.
Copy !req
152. However, after every minute,
another will be added.
Copy !req
153. We'll begin with "a,"
after which comes "i,"
Copy !req
154. and after every minute, the taboo
will increase, in syllabary order.
Copy !req
155. Just as well,
Copy !req
156. I suppose you could say that the
letters available to use will decrease.
Copy !req
157. So it will take 45 minutes before
all of the letters are eliminated?
Copy !req
158. You really are incredible.
This is an interesting one.
Copy !req
159. Right now, it's 12:51,
and 32 seconds...
Copy !req
160. Let's begin exactly at 1 o'clock!
Copy !req
161. Very well.
Copy !req
162. "Whoever enters this
house must by no means
Copy !req
163. say any of the letters
not inside the braces."
Copy !req
164. "However, take care, as one letter
will be removed every one minute..."
Copy !req
165. - Begin!
- Begin!
Copy !req
166. It will only be a short while longer
that we can speak freely like this.
Copy !req
167. Very soon, "a" will be gone.
Copy !req
168. "A"
Copy !req
169. We can no longer use
words that have this.
Copy !req
170. The letter "i" too, before long.
Copy !req
171. Perhaps you'd like to get in
your fill of saying it right now,
Copy !req
172. while you're still able to,
don't you think?
Copy !req
173. I'll bet I just said "i"
about nine times there.
Copy !req
174. If you start out so eager, before
long, you're going to slip up.
Copy !req
175. "l"
Copy !req
176. "U"
Copy !req
177. "E"
Copy !req
178. "O"
Copy !req
179. Five minutes have passed.
Copy !req
180. We can still talk, though.
Even without one of the columns.
Copy !req
181. Make the slightest mistake,
and you may just say them.
Copy !req
182. "Ka "
Copy !req
183. "Ki "
Copy !req
184. "Ku "
Copy !req
185. Once you're not allowed to say
something, you want to say it even more!
Copy !req
186. Ah, this is starting
to get on my nerves!
Copy !req
187. Koenma-sama...
Copy !req
188. "A! E! I! U! E! O! A! O!"
Copy !req
189. "Ka! Ke! Ki! Ku! Ke! Ko! Ka! Ko!"
Copy !req
190. "Jo- r-ge-is-an-idiot!"
Copy !req
191. You haven't mastered the
basics of vocalization, huh?
Copy !req
192. Do you not enjoy exchanging words?
Copy !req
193. Of course.
Copy !req
194. Minamino, what are you after?
Copy !req
195. Well now, haven't I
already indicated that?
Copy !req
196. What now?
Copy !req
197. The bathroom.
Copy !req
198. Yana, don't say anything.
Copy !req
199. Whoops! I'm in Kaito's Territory
too, after all. Careful, careful...
Copy !req
200. That rotten punk!
What is he going after?
Copy !req
201. In another ten minutes or so,
Copy !req
202. we won't be able to have
much of any conversation.
Copy !req
203. Won't be able to have any conversation?
Copy !req
204. In other words, we won't be
able to even raise our voices!
Copy !req
205. I've figured him out!
Copy !req
206. He has his sights set for when we
can hardly raise our voices at all!
Copy !req
207. Yana!
Copy !req
208. How the hell did he do this?
Copy !req
209. T- that's right!
He can control plants!
Copy !req
210. Don't tell me he's gone ahead
alone into the next room!
Copy !req
211. No, he couldn't have.
Copy !req
212. The artist who built this
house was an eccentric,
Copy !req
213. and built three doors to
pass through this hallway.
Copy !req
214. I have the key to the second door,
Copy !req
215. and the key to the third door
is hidden, just in case.
Copy !req
216. Besides, he did say that he was
going to take back those three!
Copy !req
217. Don't tell me he took just
their souls and ran away!
Copy !req
218. What is this? That bastard!
Copy !req
219. They're there!
Copy !req
220. All three of their souls
and bodies are still here!
Copy !req
221. Then he hasn't left...
Copy !req
222. He's in this room!
Copy !req
223. He intends to settle this!
Copy !req
224. He's hiding somewhere within this room,
waiting for me to drop my guard...
Copy !req
225. Where the hell did he hide!?
Copy !req
226. 1:30.
Copy !req
227. There are only a few letters
left that we can use.
Copy !req
228. Minamino, I'm not about
to say another word!
Copy !req
229. As long as I don't
say anything, I win.
Copy !req
230. I know what your strategy is!
You're going to startle me.
Copy !req
231. You're going to make me raise
my voice by means of a scream.
Copy !req
232. As long as I stay in
the center of the room,
Copy !req
233. I'll know immediately where
you're calling out from!
Copy !req
234. Three more minutes...
Copy !req
235. If I keep this up, I win.
Copy !req
236. There's only three more
letters we can use.
Copy !req
237. "Ro"
Copy !req
238. Two more letters...
Copy !req
239. Where? Where are you
planning on coming from?
Copy !req
240. There is no way I'm going
to raise my voice!
Copy !req
241. Wa!
Copy !req
242. "N"
Copy !req
243. No! If I yell out "kyaa!" or anything
like that, I'll lose! Stifle it!
Copy !req
244. Stifle it!
Copy !req
245. I stifled it!
Copy !req
246. "Wa"
Copy !req
247. Time has run out!
Copy !req
248. I win, Minamino!
Copy !req
249. No- o!!
Copy !req
250. Aw, crap!
Copy !req
251. W- we're back to normal!
Copy !req
252. Kaito's Territory has vanished.
Copy !req
253. To fall prey to your own ability
Copy !req
254. and have your soul taken
out of you like this...
Copy !req
255. In the end, we've won,
Copy !req
256. but I shudder to think what would
have happened if Kurama wasn't here.
Copy !req
257. However, the cause of
all this was you, Hiei!
Copy !req
258. This was all your fault for getting
your soul taken away from you!
Copy !req
259. In a contest such as this,
thinking that you can
Copy !req
260. not say the taboo word and win will
psychologically make you lose.
Copy !req
261. Oh, that Kurama!
Copy !req
262. Kurama!
Copy !req
263. I can't believe he pulled that face!
Copy !req
264. Ow, this hurts! This hurts!
Copy !req
265. What the hell is going on down there!?
Copy !req
266. Kuwabara and the others are here, right?
With Kurama and Hiei along?
Copy !req
267. Those guys are sure to
make it all the way here.
Copy !req
268. No question about that.
I guarantee it.
Copy !req
269. And when that happens, brace yourself!
Copy !req
270. Thanks to Kurama's quick thinking,
Kaito's Territory has collapsed.
Copy !req
271. However, as everyone moves
deeper inside to rescue Yusuke,
Copy !req
272. what kind of Territory will the next
boy standing up to them have?
Copy !req
273. Dammit! These guys are just picking
one strange fight after another!
Copy !req
274. It's almost as if they're testing
our powers. It really disgusts me!
Copy !req
275. Damn, which one of them is it!?
Copy !req
276. The one who came up with
this ridiculous contest?
Copy !req
277. Come on out, I tell you!
Copy !req
278. Next time: " The Terrifying Truth!
A New Mystery"
Copy !req
279. The Other World's not
watching for nothing!
Copy !req
280. Within a cracked mirror,
Copy !req
281. I see your reflection,
Copy !req
282. crying, crying,
Copy !req
283. as you trace the narrow moon
with your finger.
Copy !req
284. Who is it that I am calling out to?
Copy !req
285. It's the back of a love
nowhere to be found.
Copy !req
286. Over and over, over and over,
Copy !req
287. I will tap at your window.
Copy !req
288. With my back pressed by
the acceleration of night,
Copy !req
289. it was as if a thread was snapping,
Copy !req
290. and I just held on to you,
held on to you, tightly.
Copy !req
291. As you exchange your
unbalanced kisses with me,
Copy !req
292. come closer to my love!
Copy !req
293. May both your tears and
your sorrowful deceptions
Copy !req
294. come to rest in my heart!
Copy !req
