01x06 - Sanbiki no Yokai! Hiei, Kurama, Goki

[bunniefuu]

"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!

Tespecting Taizen's final wishes,

Yusuke proposed that the one
who would unite the Demon Tealm

should be decided...
...by holding a tournament.

As a result,
a great martial arts tournament

that drew in all areas of
the Demon Tealm was set up.

As the warriors watched for their chance
at victory with vigilant eyes

and their ambitions became
entangled with each others',

the tournament preliminaries
finally began.

And, as a result of the drawing,

a fateful father-son confrontation
arose between Yomi and Shura.

Already, the tournament had
taken on a turbulent aspect.

"Father and Son Battle! Yomi and Shura"

Of the 128 blocks, only Block 34,

with both Contestant Yomi
and Contestant Shura,

has yet to reach a decision.

And regardless of being
a preliminary match,

there's no doubt that this fateful
father-son battle is a hot ticket!

Who will it be that wins their
way into the main competition?

Both contestants are
staring each other down,

and neither one of them is budging!

Whoa!

Take this!

Contestant Shura launches
a surprise attack!

Contestant Yomi has disappeared
within the flashes of light!

I got you!

What are you so happy about?

Dammit....!

They're fast! The camera has lost sight
of them! Please, wait just a moment!

That kid's speed is something else.

Yomi is incredible too,
for keeping up with him.

What does this fight mean to Yomi?
If he's just in it to seize victory,

he wouldn't need to trouble himself
by fighting his son...

What do you think, Hiei?

About what?

About Yomi there. Do you think
he really gave up his nation,

and is in this just for the
sheer pleasure of the battle?

Beats me.

Damn...!

You should be able to see how
this fight will end by now.

Shura, admit your defeat.

Shura!

Uh-huh...

It appears that it has been settled.
Just what you'd expect

from the former emperor and ruler
of the nation of Gandara!

Contestant Yomi has displayed
the overwhelming difference

between their powers!

Shura, you did well.

Mm-hmm...

That was a great success!

That was an unexpected counterattack!

The energy that Contestant Shura released
has turned the ring into a sea of fire!

What a kid!

He sucker-punched his own dad
like it was nothing!

Whoever wins this is goin'
to be a formidable opponent.

That settles it.

What?

It couldn't be...!

It can't be...
he's not even scratched...!

Shura, don't get too carried
away with yourself.

There are limits to
what I will put up with.

That's what my goal is. You promised
me you would fight me seriously,

without pulling any punches, didn't you?

This is a surprise!
Contestant Yomi is uninjured!

Like father, like son,

it appears as though both contestants
are battle machines, born to fight!

What is it?

Nothing. It's just that I was
astonished by the father-son fights

that Raizen-sama and you
had together, Yusuke-san,

but then you look
at these two fighting...

Now that you mention it,
I never took it this far, huh?

You liar!

Yo!

Who are you guys!?

What are you talking about?
It's me, Yusuke!

Koenma!?

It's been...

...too long!

What are you guys doing here!?

We came to see who would
be uniting the Demon Realm.

That's the official line!

Koenma-sama wouldn't miss the chance
to come watch a fun event like this,

as much as he likes parties!

Shut up, both of you!

Whatever the reason, if it gets around
that you're from the Spirit Realm,

you might get eaten by
those demonkin over there.

Koenma-sama...!

Jorge is scared!

It's all right! Do not leave my side.

Koenma-sama!

We love you!

And I won't leave Yusuke's side.

We hate you!

Yusuke-san!

They're on the move?

Here I go!

He's concentrating his Yoki
into both hands...

it will be an energy-emitting attack.

Deathstrike! Maenko!!

"Demon Roundbite"
Maenko

0.04 seconds to impact...

Makoiryu renpa hanshoheki!!

"Makoi-style scorchbuster antishock wall"
Makoiryu renpa hanshoheki!!

Damn!

He couldn't be...
He's absorbing my spectral power!

It's Contestant Shura who keeps
launching overwhelming attacks,

but for some reason, it appears
that Contestant Yomi is in the lead.

Will the father, Contestant Yomi
indeed be the winner of this match!?

So that's it. Shura is just
like Yomi was when he was young.

And somehow, Yomi is returning
to the way he used to be long ago.

This is going to be
an interesting fight.

Shura, admit defeat!

That's enough, Shura. You've done well.

In the bottom of my heart,
I am rejoicing in your growth.

Dammit!

Why, you...!

Is this where it ends?

I won't lose! There's no way
I'm going to lose!

I'm not about to lose to you, Papa!

Shura...

An opening! I have to find
where Papa left himself open!

I- it's no use!

Papa hasn't... Papa hasn't
left himself open to anything!

That was mean! Papa, you
don't leave yourself open!

When you're facing
first-class fighters,

it doesn't do any good to try
to search for an opening, Shura.

Then what am I supposed to do?

If your opponent doesn't
have any openings,

you should make one of your own.

Ifyour opponent doesn't
have any openings,

you should make one of your own, huh?

You got it, Papa.

He's masking his presence
with the expl*si*n,

trying to distract me.

There you are!

That was an audacious trick.

Take this! Maenko!!

He's at it again! He's absorbing
my spectral power again!

What's worse, he can see
through every attack I make.

I can't do anything!

What's wrong?
You aren't attacking any more?

In that case, I'll come to you!

Ladies and gentlemen, did you see that?

Contestant Yomi has launched
a one-sided as*ault!

A truly pitiless,
merciless succession of attacks!

Hey, that Yomi b*stard means business.

He's going at it like he's
trying to k*ll his own son!

He ain't jokin' around, huh?

Damn it...

Yow...!

Shura,

admit your defeat.

No way! You can k*ll me! You promised
that this would be a serious fight!

Don't be so high and mighty!

A rookie such as yourself has no
place using the words "serious fight"!

Don't you realize how much
I've been suppressing my power

while I've been fighting you!?

If you wish to choose an easy death,
you may.

That's probably all you're capable of.

This is the last time. I will only
ask once. Shura, admit your defeat.

I give up, Papa!

At last, Contestant Shura gives up!

Contestant Yomi now moves up from
Block 34 to the main competition,

and all of the preliminaries
have been concluded!

Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down!

Now then, before we begin
the main competition,

we will hear a word of welcome
from Contestant Urameshi,

representing the tournament promoters!

He's terribly nervous, huh?

It's not like him to be ill at ease.

To the contestants who are
entering the main competition,

since you're the sort who
could have made it this far,

there are probably those among you

who are fighting as though
you're willing to die.

But to be honest, if possible,
I don't want any of you dying.

After all, it leaves a
nasty aftertaste, and everything.

More than anything, you all
have that look on your face,

Iike you want to take on many challenges,

and I want to fight a
bunch of times as well.

To tell you the truth,

I've frankly got no confidence in myself
being able to win it all this time.

Sour grapes, even before the fight!?

But even so, in another two years,
I think I'd get pretty far.

Of course, that's up to
whoever wins to decide.

If he says this is the only time,
then that's the end of it.

If possible,

I think it would be great if everyone
ganged up like this every few years,

and chose who the leader would be
like it was a presidential election.

Papa...

Yeah. Next time, you will
be a key player, too.

I'm not the sort who
has foreboding feelings,

but no matter who wins,
I have a hunch we can all relax.

And so, for now...

...Iet's get this thing started!

Now then, the main competition
is about to start.

The main competition will be
set up with the 128 contestants

that won through the preliminaries
divided into four blocks,

with each block being held in
a one-on-one tournament fashion.

Victory will be determined the
same way as in the preliminaries,

with the matches continuing

until one contestant gives up
or is unable to fight any longer.

Very well then,

The first match of Block A will be

between Contestant Urameshi
and Contestant Nekotama!

Begin!

What incredible Yoki!

I heard that there were others in the
Demon Tealm besides Mukuro and Yomi,

who were concealing their abilities.

This isn't going to be easy,
even for Yusuke.

Contestant Nekotama, in an eruption of
overwhelming power, has turned colossal!

Can Contestant Urameshi stand up
to the menace of Contestant Nekotama!?

Contestant Nekotama's
claws have extended!

Will Contestant Urameshi
be skewered like this!?

Yusuke-san!

Yusuke!

All righty!

Contestant Nekotama is down!

Contestant Urameshi
advances to the next round!

He did it!

Hmph. Yusuke's off and flying,
right from the start.

Don't you waste any time with any
insignificant opponents, either.

Do like he did, and take care of them
right away. Then come back to me.

Naturally.

Papa, that guy doesn't use any tricks,

and it doesn't look like
he has any strategy, either.

You're right. He truly fights
for the fun of it.

Shura, I wanted you to fight him,
not me.

Here goes!

And so,

the main competition of the Demon Tealm
Unification Tournament was underway.

Who's head will it be that the
goddess of victory smiles upon?

I don't mind wandering around after
Koenma-sama,

but there are so many rough,
dangerous looking folks here!

I sure hope I'm all right. Still,
they're all quite the curious types,

coming all the way here
just to match up against Yusuke.

Next time: "Fierce Fighting!
Men Fighting for Their Dreams"

Ah, Mister! Three popcorns and juices!

Behind closed eyes,
only longing arises,

as to the sleeping
season I bid good-bye.

More than kindness that
sparkles in the distance,

I'd rather have just
one thing that I want.

Having passed through
a city of cold glass,

I want to touch your hands,
and confirm your feelings.

It's just a dream I'm
having with my eyes open,

for me to be hugging you so tightly.

Although the wind may blow, the rain
may fall, and my heart may waver,

if it's a dream I'm
having with my eyes open,

it's okay if now I get hurt.

I can be as gentle as the
sky is unpredictable.

If it's a dream I'm
having with my eyes open,

it's okay if now I get hurt.

I can be as gentle as the
sky is unpredictable.
