01x27 - Shi no Funede! Jigoku no Shima e

[bunniefuu]

Having supposedly been defeated once,
Toguro appeared before Yusuke.

He then invited him to
the Dark Tournament as a guest.

Yusuke was unable to even move
before Toguro's incredible strength,

and becoming aware of his weakness,

he went through special
training under Master Genkai.

And now, on the day of the tournament,

Yusuke and the others head toward the
tournament grounds on Kubikukuri Island.

"Departure of Death!
To the Island of Hell."

The Dark Tournament where the wealthy
and powerful of the underworld society,

who use dark means to raise their fortunes,
each assemble teams of five powerful members,

and allow their battles to play out in the
greatest combative sport match in all history.

As guests to this tournament,

humans who have become deeply
involved with the underworld

are forced to become entrants.

To refuse would be to
bring about one's death.

The only means of survival,
then, is to win.

And so, the guests
at this tournament are...

Urameshi Yusuke,
Kuwabara Kazuma, Kurama, Hiei,

and a mysterious, masked warrior...
These five.

Geez. There's nothing but monsters here!

Aren't there any cute chicks on board?

Urameshi said he was
the mightiest ally there was.

So who the hell is this pipsqueak?

Well, it doesn't matter.
When he sees my strength,

he'll probably run away
with his tail between his legs.

All things considered,
this is a pretty dismal boat, huh?

We're not going
sightseeing here, after all.

That's true, but they could at least
give us something to eat, couldn't they?

I'm starving here.

Everyone, if you would please be quiet...

Before the boat reaches the island,

and if you don't mind calling this
a replacement for our banquet,

I would like to offer a little
something by way of entertainment.

So you're going to serve
dinner or something?!

Beginning now, we're going to
'old the preliminary tournament!

What?

Preliminary tournament, he said?

And here on the boat, at that.

I-It's an earthquake!

Idiot! Do they have
earthquakes out at sea?

Look!

What is that?!

This is where you will fight.

Oh, that's the ring, is it?

A ring here on the boat, huh?
That's pretty damn clever.

As it 'appens, 15 of the teams who will
be appearing in the Dark Tournament

'ave already been determined,
and are standing by on the island.

There is only one team on this boat
who will be able to participate!

Damn, so we aren't guests, then?

This is the way they operate.

Please choose who you think is
the strongest contestant on your teams.

They will fight atop 'ere
in a Battle Royale,

and the one team remaining
will be given the right

to enter the tournament finals
on Kubikukuri Island.

All right! Let's do this, why don't we?

I'll show you just
how strong I've become!

This will be an interesting warm-up!

You seem to want to win this, after all.

So, how about you bring it
on over here to warm up?

I'm as happy as I can be

to see how many Yokai
I can dispose of at one time!

A-A Battle Royale against those guys?

If they converge their aim at me,
then no matter how strong I am,

I've had it, haven't I?

All right, Urameshi!
I'm going to yield this one to you!

I'll let you take care of
the whole thing.

Show us the results
of your special training!

Hey! What are you sleeping for?!

What are we going to do
if our leader is so cavalier?

Come on! What are you, comatose?!

Stop!

He's gone through some very
intensive special training, right?

He's entered a deep sleep to recover
his physical and spiritual power.

So, who the hell is going to go?

Interesting. Looks like he wants to go.

I'm going to have a look at
what he's capable of.

You've gotta be kidding!
What are we going to do if he loses?

It'll be right back home again,
without even getting called up!

If that happens, then all we have
to do is k*ll everyone on this boat.

Once we do that,
there'll be nobody to complain.

Your personality
is as frightening as ever.

Say, Koenma-sama, who in the world
could this masked warrior be, anyhow?

Good question.

Please, don't tease me like this.
Tell me, okay?

I don't know either.

But you're the Urameshi Team owner,
aren't you, Koenma-sama?

Well, up to a point...

So then, how come...?

It's because nobody keeps
me informed of anything!

So nobody wants
anything to do with you,

and you're just being ignored, huh?

Shut up!! Damn! Nobody treats
me like I'm the owner here.

I'm still a superb owner, you know!

Koenma-sama, calm down!

Why hasn't Botan come to report to me?!

Where the hell is she,
and what is she doing?!

What on earth's come over you two?

Botan-san, you know where
Yusuke has gone, don't you?

I don't have any idea where
my brother Kazuma has gone, either.

They haven't contacted us in a long time!

Really? That is a concern, huh?
Where could they have gone, indeed?

You know, don't you?
Come on, tell the truth.

Please, Botan-san!

B-But...

-Come on!
-You see, now...

Botan-san!!

It would pain my heart to lie
to Keiko-chan any more than this...

I guess I have no choice!

Okay, I'll tell you!
But don't be surprised, okay?

The truth is...

So, they're representatives
of the Human Realm?

And they're fighting Yokai
in the Dark Tournament?

A-yep.

Th-They can't be...

Keiko-chan!

There, didn't I tell you?!

Still, those guys are acting crazy.

They can't help it! If they refuse,
then death awaits them.

They have to fight in order to survive!

-Botan-san!
-Yes?

Take us there, please!

That's the only thing to do, huh?

B-But, um...

This turned out badly.

Let's start with the weakest-looking one!

We'll dispatch the others in order.

It's that guy!

They're converging
their attack, all right!

And since he's in that corner,
there's nowhere to run! That idiot!

-That idiot!
-This is bad!

Begin!

You're going first!

We're going to take you apart!

A-Awesome!

He blew them all away with just one shot!

Now we see why Yusuke can sleep
so soundly, without any worries.

That was Yusuke's Shotgun just now...
Who the hell is that?

It 'as been determined that the sixteenth
team in the Dark Tournament finals...

will be the Urameshi Team!

That was awesome!
Who on earth are you?

What?

In that case,
the rules don't mean anything!

Anyhow, all we have to do
is defeat these guys!

Damn it all!

Things are turning out as expected.

This won't even serve as a warm-up, but I
guess it's better than standing around.

Agreed.

Hey!

You b*stard...!

Cut it out!

Don't mess with me!

Fukaenbu-jin!!

FUKAENBU-JIN:
WIND PETAL WALTZ CONFIGURATION

You'll die like this,
while you're dreaming!

U-Urameshi!

Die!!

You hag! Bring it on!
I can still keep going!

That b*stard. So he's awake, then?

Idiot.

-He's talking in his sleep.
-Talking in his sleep?

For him to be training while fast asleep,

it looks like he was put through
some incredible special training.

Hold on! Urameshi just
said "hag," didn't he?

So then, that runt over there...

Don't tell me that's Master Genkai!

Nah, that hag isn't the sort
that would come all this way...

But then, who do you think would come?

What are you mumbling about?

This guy's talking in his sleep,
even when he's wide awake.

Huh? By the way,
what about the Battle Royale?

It's long since over.

Hey, you're right.

It's just as Sakyo-san said.

They're on an entirely different
level than these punk Yokai.

I was hoping to judge how much power
and offensive capability they 'ad,

but there's no telling
what that group is capable of.

It's coming into view. Kubikukuri Island.

There's no telling how
terrible a place this is.

Hike up your briefs, everyone!

This is where they're putting us up?

Is this really where
we're supposed to stay?

Welcome to the hotel.
I will direct you to your room.

This place is actually starting
to make me feel uneasy.

Is this really the Dark Tournament?

Those are the sacrificial
guests this time.

Poor things. They're still
just boys, aren't they?

Well, why don't we let them entertain us?

APPROVE

Aah! I quit! I quit!

I'm so worried, I can't
do anything! I'm going too!

Going? Where to?

That's obvious, isn't it?!
The Dark Tournament!

You can't! Koenma-sama,
you have important work here...

Anyone can do this kind of work!

How irresponsible and apathetic!
You're always like this, you know!

Oh, is that so? Well,
I've got no choice then, huh?

And here I was thinking
of taking you along...

I can't help that now. I guess
I'll just have to go by myself.

U-Um... Koenma-sama!

I hear that Urameshi and
the others have entered the hotel.

According to the
information from the captain,

the Yokai aboard the ship
were outclassed.

If they weren't,
this wouldn't be any fun.

Well, tomorrow, we should be able
to take a good long look at them.

The Urameshi Team has been designated to
face the Rokuyukai Team in the first round.

Oh? The Rokuyukai?
That will be enjoyable.

This sure is one fancy room!

I wouldn't mind coming to a tournament
like this any number of times!

I have brought some coffee.

Go ahead, at your leisure.

Okay, then...

Hold on, there wouldn't be
any poison in here, right?

The tournament isn't deceitful like that.

In the end, its goal is genuine fighting.

The people holding the tournament plan
on having us torn to bits in a fair fight.

Well, there's nothing more
important than being cautious.

I'll have the drink I brought with me.

This is strange! There's one cup missing!

There were definitely five of them.
And, since I'm not drinking mine...

That's why it's strange.
Yusuke is still asleep!

U-Urameshi's cup, huh?
Suddenly, it's not there!

What?!

When did he come in the room?!

There's no doubt, he was hiding
in this room from the start!

Hiding? That's outrageous!
I came through the door, to be sure!

Oh, maybe I forgot to knock.

I'm overdue introducing
myself, huh? I'm Rinku.

I'm chief of special attacks
for the Rokuyukai Team,

who you'll fight tomorrow
in the first round.

Rokuyukai?

Must be nice to be guests.

You don't have to go through
the boring opening ceremonies or briefing,

just right away into the matches.

Oh, that's right! Since you're
all going to die anyhow,

you don't need to have anything to do with
the prizes and victory and stuff, huh?

What is it with this b*stard's
odd composure and playfulness?

I heard the guests this time
were awesome and I had high hopes,

but what a disappointment.

I'll win all by myself like this.

You talk too much, Rinku.

Another one! He wasn't here!
He for sure was not here!

Sorry, Zeru!

My bad habit of getting carried away
with myself showed up again!

Enjoy your last evening
as much as you can.

Tomorrow, you will meet
the same fate as that cup.

What?

Rinku, there was that one guy among
them that was sound asleep, right?

Huh? Yeah.

Do you think he didn't wake up because
he knew we weren't out to k*ll them,

or was it...

You sure he's not just a simple moron?

They're humans that were good
enough to be chosen as guests.

There's something to them...

Ladies and gentlemen,
we apologize for the long delay.

We now commence the Dark Tournament!

At last, the curtain has risen
on the Dark Tournament.

Right away, the Urameshi Team and
the Rokuyukai Team are to face each other!

However, the team's captain,
Yusuke, is still asleep!

Just what sort of battle
is about to unfold here?

The spearheader for the Rokuyukai Team,
this Rinku punk...

Not only is he light on his feet,
he has quite a bit of power!

Hey, Kuwabara!

Don't let your guard down just
because your opponent is small!

It doesn't matter,
just beat him to a pulp!

W-What's that?!
Is that his finishing move?!

Watch out, Kuwabara!

Next time, "The Little Mighty Foe!
Rinku's Secret Technique."

The Other World's
not watching for nothing!
