01x41 - Reikodan! Igai Na Ketchaku?!

[bunniefuu]

The Mashotsukai Team's Jin used
the wind to perform aerial techniques,

and scored a leadoff
attack against Yusuke.

Yusuke attacked the Shura sempu-ken
technique that Jin used head-on,

and both of them were
thrown from the ring.

However, Jin created
tornadoes on both arms,

and prepared to launch
a second-wave offensive!

What will you do, Yusuke?

"Reikodan! An Unexpected Conclusion?!"

Urameshi Yusuke! You're the first one
to ever give me this much fun!

Sure enough, I can't
stand up to him like that

when I can only sh**t my
Rei-g*n from my right hand!

W-What kind of pose is that?!

He's planning to use that technique?

That technique?

In contrast to the Rei-g*n,
which focuses Reiki in the fingertip,

this technique has to raise the
entire body's Reiki to its full power.

Yusuke has already shot
his Rei-g*n three times.

Since it's based on the same principle,
he can only use this technique once!

Yusuke...

Even though this may be the only
possible way he can win against Jin,

he's still a gambler through and through.

There's tremendous Reiki pouring
out of Yusuke's whole body!

What in the world could he be
planning to do, Koenma-sama?

I can't tell what you mean by, "Hmm..."

Come on, if you know, please don't
act so important, and tell me!

You just sit there with
your pacifier, acting so big!

Give me this thing! I hate you!

What's this?

GOOD LUCK YUSUKE

Being disliked by you would
make me feel lonesome,

so I thought I'd try playing
"Koenma the Scamp"!

I really do hate him...

Awesome! His whole body is brimmin'
with the power of a typhoon!

This is gonna be fun!

I am so excited!

Okay, come on, Jin!

Let's fight!

Yusuke!

Jin's going to win!

It seems the moment
of decision has come.

Shura sempu-ken!!

He defended against my Shura sempu-ken!

Damn it all!

He blocked the punch with his left hand,
then deflected it away!

I'm not done yet!

Y-You're using your foot?!

Take this!

Reikodan!!

Oh! A clean hit!

There was so much force, I started
dancing without even realizing it!

It's over! That clinched it!

That wretched Yusuke!
He really thought that one out!

Reikodan, huh?

Kuwa-chan, did you know about this?

It was similar to his Shotgun, but I
didn't know he could use it like that.

However, how did it turn out?
I cannot locate Contestant Jin!

Has he escaped into the air again?

Has Yusuke won?

Keiko-chan, let's take cover!

Quickly!

O-Okay...

Where in the world is Jin?

Keiko!

It's okay! They took shelter!

The whole area where we were!

Contestant Jin has smashed into the
spectator seats without using his wind!

I-I will take the count!

That wretched Yusuke!
He still had that trick, did he?

He performed it well,
for his first time.

The Reikodan does have an
inordinate amount of Reiki power,

but it's the same as the technique
he calls his Shotgun.

Even from a distance,
the shockwave is enough

to defeat a weak opponent, though it
doesn't have the same force as the Rei-g*n.

But the way he did it just now,

right as he made contact
with his opponent's body,

it's a technique that
exhibits some real force.

Now then, if he still hasn't
defeated Jin after doing that...

3... 4...

6...

7...

Are you coming?

9...

That was a nice punch!

You sure are strong!

10!!

Ringout ten-count!
Contestant Urameshi is the victor!

Jin! You're the one who's strong!
You gave me plenty of entertainment!

If we get a chance, let's fight again!

You've won, then!

You guys! Why don't you cheer
for our side for a change?!

Yusuke won...

Can you stand up, Keiko-chan?

Yeah!

Huh? Where are you going?

After being so tense, nature is calling.

I have to go now, while I can.

Ah, wait up!

Look what you've done!
There's only one of you left, right?!

And it was five against two!

Hey, Risho!

You're okay, aren't you?

I've spent all my holdings on
betting you guys would win,

as well as on your tournament entry fees!

My opponent is already worn out.
There is nothing to worry about.

But still...

Well, if you're that worried,
there is one sure way for us to win...

What? A sure way for us to win?

And now, there is one
person left on each side!

Whichever team wins this
will proceed to the semifinals!

Oh, what have we here?

Who are you?!

I am Yukina, from the Land of Glaciers.

Achoo!

Um, what is all the excitement about?

There aren't any tickets, dammit!

I'd buy one marked up
ten-times, or even fifty-times!

Doesn't anyone have any tickets?!

Aah! I can't stand it any longer!

That is a problem. Without a ticket,
you cannot get in, huh?

Will the Mashotsukai Team
captain come forward?

It's Risho!

Risho, said to be the terrible
head of the Mashotsukai Team!

Crush that human!

We will now hold the final battle!

Their captain is up at last...

Urameshi Yusuke, you will lose without
laying so much as a finger on me.

What?!

Begin!

This will be fun!
I'll put you to the test!

The match will come to a stop!

Stop, they say?

What does this mean?

There is a protest from
the head office in the VIP seats.

Dammit, what the hell is it?

In the previous match,
between Jin and Urameshi,

when Contestant Urameshi
landed out of the ring,

there is some question as to whether
the referee was too slow in her count.

You mean me?

Upon deliberation...

Upon deliberation?

...Contestants Jin and Urameshi will
both be given ringout ten-counts,

and the match will be declared a draw!

You're kidding!

A draw?! What the hell is this,
for crying out loud?!

The match between Jin and Urameshi
had both of them ringout, then?

I guess.

Did the count seem slow to you?

No, I thought it was the same as usual.

This is dirty!
If Yusuke is unable to fight...

and Hiei and Mask cannot compete...

then the only one left
on either team is Risho!

The Urameshi Team has lost!

We've lost? That's impossible!

We've lost? That's impossible!

That's right!

What's the matter, referee?
Declare them to be the losers!

Th-This can't be...

I-I don't understand! I would ask
that the head office reconsider.

The decision will not be overturned.

All right! That's great! Nice going!

Both Kurama and Kuwabara
are seriously injured,

and Hiei and Mask are
disqualified from competition!

With Urameshi taken out in a draw,
that doesn't leave anyone else!

That was dirty. That was dirty, indeed!

Risho...

I'm not satisfied
winning like this either.

What are we supposed to
tell Gama, who gave his life?

He fought fairly and squarely! As did Jin!

You'd best lose that pandering
romanticism of yours!

I told you, our goal here is to win!

But...

Enough!

If we can easily win,

without having to needlessly k*ll
each other, then that will do.

Now, what are you doing?!
Why don't you declare us the victors?

I don't mind k*lling you and
having a new referee brought out!

B-But then... even so...

Do you know who it is that's
most dissatisfied?! Do you?!

Yusuke, let them have the victory!

Just looking at him, you can see how foolish
and meaningless their games are, right?

There's no reason for us
to play by their rules.

From now on, I'm playing by my rules.
There will be a survival game,

and only those who are truly
strong will live through it!

You're right... I'm this close
to tearing him apart myself.

I'm with you, Hiei! Let's make
a real show of running wild!

Get him! Get him!

Just a moment!
You guys in the head office,

I'm going to be stripped naked like this!

I can no longer completely hold
them within my barrier!

You know, just this one time, I'm
starting to feel like cheering Hiei on!

Me too.

Hang in there, Hiei! Hurry up and
bust through that barrier! Go! Go!

That's some unusually
enthusiastic cheering there, huh?

That's awfully indecorous of them
not to have restrooms out here, either!

You said it!

Huh?

What is it, Shizuru-san?

Forgive me, Keiko-chan, but would you
go ask Botan-chan to come out here?

And be nice and quick about it, okay?

O-Okay...

Say there, you're Yukina-chan, aren't you?

Yes. Um, and you are?

Me? I'm Kazuma's older sister, Shizuru.

Kazuma-san's sister?!

That's right! Nice to meet you.

I am the announcer, so I must go along
with whatever the head office orders.

Since the Urameshi Team has no other
contestants that are capable of fighting,

I must reluctantly...

declare the Mashotsukai Team to be...

to be... the winners!

You b*stard!

Hold it!

There is a contestant capable of fighting!

W-What was that?

W-Where? Where? Where?
Koenma-sama, where?

Where? Where? Where?
Where? Where? Where?

Th-That fool Kuwabara!
He couldn't be talking about me, right?

Shut up!!

Where is this guy?!

It's me!!

Kuwabara!

What are you talking about?!
Your injuries are awful!

Do you realize what has
happened to your body?

Kuwabara-kun...

Are you mad?

Thank goodness it wasn't me!

Still, what is Kuwabara thinking?

Koenma-sama!

Botan is leaving!

Never mind about Botan!

Right now, I'm worried about Kuwabara.

Hey! If you've been listening
to yourselves for the past while,

you guys have completely
forgotten about my existence!

Kuwabara, look at you!

During competition,
you have to go by the rules,

even if those rules are bogus!

Kuwabara, have you hurt your head, too?

What do you mean by that, huh?!

You see? This is crazy, you dumbass!

There's no one else... left, is there?!

If you break loose against these guys
just because you're disgusted at them,

you're no different than they are!

And if we win by beating these dirty
guys while sticking to our principles,

that would look so cool, right?

Captain?

It sure would...

If you win, that is.

Shut the hell up, would you?!

Well, well, isn't he just
the perfect foil?

Botan-san! Hurry, hurry!

Huh? Keiko-chan, you're
the one who called me?

Botan-san!

Oh, my! Yukina-chan!

Thank goodness!

You know, it's good of you to have come.

You're here to cheer
for Kuwa-chan, right?

Yes. I've also gone through

some training to raise my healing
abilities higher than before.

I figured that if I could
be of any assistance...

Mm-hmm! How splendid!
A good example for all women!

However, I also have
another big reason.

And that is?

I've learned that I have a brother.

Don't tell me that Yukina-chan
has learned that Hiei is her brother!

So, I was thinking that if I could have the
cooperation of Kazuma-san and the others,

who so kindly helped me before...

Though my time is limited, I have been
allowed to stay in the Human Realm

in order to search for my brother.

Is that right? In that case, we'll help
out as well. Right, Botan-chan?

Shizuru-san, you saw the video earlier!
You know, don't you?

It's okay! I won't say anything.

But do you have any leads
or anything? Photos, or so on?

No, nothing.

We're saved!

But for some reason, I get
the feeling that he's close.

Gulp!

Those who know that Yukina-chan
is Hiei's sister include myself,

Koenma-sama, Kurama,
Shizuru-san, and Yusuke...

There sure are quite a few of
us that know, aren't there?

Tell her, if you don't want to live.

This is bad! I'm the one who's
most likely to say something!

Kazuma-san!

What in the world is going on?

Oh, that's right!
I'll explain everything later,

but right now, things are terrible!

Whoever wins between
Kuwa-chan and Risho,

their team will advance to the semifinals!

But it looks like
Kazuma-san is terribly hurt!

Excuse me...

W-What the hell are you doing?!

Out of the way! I can't see, you know!

What a surprise!
It's true, he is still here!

Having been critically injured
during the Ichigaki fight,

Contestant Kuwabara
makes a gutsy comeback!

You will fight with me!

Both of you, to the center!

This is crazy!

It has to be all Kuwabara-kun
can manage just to stand up!

Kuwabara!

Well, no matter.

It'll be an easy victory against that guy
who doesn't know when to quit, after all.

This is an important task that
doesn't come my way very often.

I'm a lucky man to be out here.

There's something wrong with your head.
Is this how badly you want to die?

Try to k*ll me, then. I'm tough!

Match 6, Kuwabara versus Risho! Begin!

Suffering injuries throughout his body,

and barely able to stand,
Kuwabara has no chance of winning!

Can Yusuke and the others do
nothing but watch on silently?

Damn those b*stards in
the tournament head office!

That was a dirty trick they pulled!

No matter what happens, it looks
like they don't want us to win!

Even so, after everyone has put
their lives on the line to come this far,

I'm not about to let it end so easily!

Even if it costs me my life, Kuwabara
the man is going to win this match!

Next time, "A Desperate Kuwabara!
The Charge of Love."

I'll show you a man's willpower!
