01x53 - Arashi no Mae! Kanashimi o Koete

[bunniefuu]

After 50 years had passed,
Toguro and Genkai were reunited.

They each denounced the way
the other had been living, and fought.

In the end, Genkai had lost.

Toguro smiled contentedly as
he said that the day had finally come

when he could fight at 100 percent
of his power against Yusuke,

the successor to the
Reikohado-ken secrets.

I am going to make Toguro pay!!

"Before the Storm! Overcoming Sorrow."

There is something
that I will now give you.

The only one who can hold it

is the legitimate successor to
the Reikohado-ken techniques.

At your current spiritual power,

you are 100 percent
incapable of beating Toguro.

Yusuke, your spiritual
power has certainly risen,

but even so, the odds of you
safely surviving this trial are 50/50.

This is the moment of truth,

the minimum requirement for you
to survive the battle ahead, Yusuke!

Pain, you are in my way! Move it!!

Sleep well now. Your real battle
begins when you wake up again.

If she hadn't given me her Reiki,
she might not have lost to Toguro...

Koenma-sama? Is Master Genkai really...?

I must have told you, didn't I?

Genkai was destined to raise up
a successor and then vanish.

Toguro!

Pure strength, which transcends skills...
That is what power is!

Even the air pressure created by
thrusting my fist becomes a weapon!

Damn. I will master the Kokuryu-ha
technique by tomorrow!

You miserable monster!

As cool as you are,
you are also quite belligerent.

Of the five of you, I do
indeed like you best of all.

When I k*ll something
that I like, I get depressed,

the same as when I think about
why in the world I was ever born.

But then, I find that to be
an indescribable pleasure.

It's no use! He's got everything on me...

Speed, spectral power,
and everything else!

No matter how many times I try
fighting the image of Karasu,

I can't find so much as a clue
as to how to beat him! Damn...

Hey, Kurama!

Finally, I've found someone!

Have you seen that
Urameshi punk around?

No.

Where the hell could he have gone?

The moment he woke up,
he took off someplace looking pale.

And Ba-san said she had some important
business to take care of by herself,

and she hasn't come
back either! Of all the...!

One will die today.
You will know who soon enough.

Then it's true!
The Reiki that disappeared...

Was that Master Genkai?

Who's there?!

You two are alone, huh? Perfect.

Who are you?

The Beautiful Demon Battler, Suzuki.

Suzuki?

The Beautiful Demon Battler, Suzuki.

You mean...?

You're the one who was
beaten so horribly by Genkai...

The Suzuki who was also
Onji from the Uraotogi Team?

When you speak of me,

do not forget to attach the word
"beautiful" before my name!

Although now, that name
only rings hollow.

After having the difference in our
abilities driven home to me like that...

I've been reduced to being
an ordinary circus clown.

And here I thought he was
enough of a clown from the start...

Oh, it's nothing. I would ask
what business you have with us.

I've come to give you something.

What are those?

The Fruit of Former Life
and The Sword of Trials.

The Fruit of Former Life?

The Sword of Trials, you say?

These are the Items that I gave
to Uraurashima and Shishiwakamaru.

The Fruit of Former Life is the fleshy
part of the Tokitadare blossom,

recently discovered in the Demon Realm.

Uraurashima used it in a mist form.

However, if you drink it in liquid form,

you should be able to return to
your Yoko form for a long time.

The Sword of Trials is made
from leechcedar and in order to grow

it draws out the Ki of whoever holds it.

It sucks out the Ki of
whoever is holding it?!

This is a shape-shifting spectral sword.

The form it takes depends on
the disposition of whoever is holding it.

I should tell you something
about both Items.

That is, they are both still
in the experimental stages.

Once you use them, even I don't know

what kind of terrible side effects
they might have.

You don't know?!

Use them, or toss them away,
it's up to you. See you around.

Why are you giving these to us?

I once fought against Toguro myself.

Just from seeing him at 30 percent,
I was so overcome by terror...

I would have even licked the bottoms
of Toguro's boots to save my life.

That's how badly I fell apart,
begging for my life.

When I did, he was moved to
compassion, and said the following.

When someone goes beyond
disgracing themselves like this,

I lose even my will to k*ll them.
I see you as nothing more than scum.

Afterward, I improved my skills,
changed my name and appearance,

and led the Uraotogi Team
to the tournament.

But then, you guys
completely worked us over.

I'm not asking you to take revenge for me.

I just want to believe that there's
someone even stronger than Toguro.

I've learned well during
this fight that it's not me.

I want to believe that someone will come
along and destroy Toguro's sense of values.

Koenma, huh?

Good guess!

I'm not in any mood
for your joking around.

I suppose not. Botan is in
pretty poor spirits as well.

She's too easily given to her emotions,
and her heart isn't in her work.

I wonder why I've been
telling her all this time

that Genkai's death was drawing near.

If I had gotten there
just a little bit sooner...

Ba-san would have had Toguro...

Don't say anything so foolish!

What?!

Who are you calling a fool?!

If you're not a fool then you're
an idiot who is missing the point.

Even supposing you had
gotten there sooner,

would you have been able to
interfere in a fight to the death

between Genkai and Toguro?

At a time when both of them were putting
their lives on the line against each other,

how could you dare interrupt them?

Well? What's the matter?

Come on, would you
take your hands off me?

Ba-san...

Does Genkai's trial also include
overcoming this sorrow?

Be strong, Yusuke.

This has been Juri,

bringing you the unusual excitement
here in front of the stadium.

And now, via Demon Realm
Satellite Triple-Six,

we bring you this exclusive Satanism
TV broadcast on tomorrow's final round!

Wow, this has been a great
success for us, huh, Sakyo-san?

Supposing that you win this time,

the tournament will have
made roughly 8 quadrillion,

of which 45 percent will
land right in your pocket!

That's about 4 quadrillion yen.

That's more money
than we can even imagine!

In the past, there have been
owners of victorious teams

who used their money to become
dictators of whole countries,

and those who have sought to
obtain eternal life, among others.

However, you have completely
maintained your silence

since your victory at
the previous tournament.

Isn't it about time that you
tell us what you're planning?

I want to open up a hole.

A hole? A hole, you say?

A big hole would be nice.

A border tunnel, connecting the
Demon Realm and the Human Realm.

A border tunnel?

It's so inconvenient right now.

Except for those momentary
distortions that happen by chance,

neither side can cross over.

It costs 200 billion yen to
artificially warp space just once,

opening up a hole the size of your fist.

As such, only minor demons
can come into the Human Realm.

The hole is too small, see?
That's not fair, is it?

How can we not let those larger,
more powerful, evil Yoki,

come through as well?

If we can sustain a route that allows Yokai,
no matter how evil, to freely pass through,

then the world will become
even more chaotic and enjoyable.

It's the dream of the main-eventer, right?

By combining the prize money from
last time and this time together,

my dream will come true.

R-Ridiculous!

W-What the hell are you thinking?

Up to now, they've barely stayed
within their own sphere as it is,

which is why the tournaments
are held at all, aren't they?!

If we go summoning any more
of those brutal monsters,

then our lives and yours
will be in danger!

You guys don't get it, do you?
That's what makes it so interesting.

It is interesting, isn't it?

You're completely bizarre!

I had a hunch there was
something abnormal about you!

We are going to manage
the tournament from here on!

Oh? You're going to
manage the tournament?

I thought you might say that,
which is why I kept it quiet.

It was for your sakes, as well.

Shut up! Get him!

Toguro, what do you think about me?

I don't know if you're abnormal or not,

but I will cooperate with
what you are trying to do.

I have become too strong
for the Human Realm.

With a Yoki as huge as mine,

I cannot go to the Demon Realm through
the small deformations that occur naturally.

Once I defeat Urameshi,

I'll have to return to the Demon Realm
by opening up a tunnel or whatever.

There are no opponents for
me to fight here, after all.

Nice answer. Have a drink?

I don't drink alcohol.
Orange juice, if you please.

Then again, oolong tea
would be nice, too.

Cheers.

Ba-san!

What's going on?
What are you doing in there?

Ba-san...

Good grief... How long do
you intend to keep this up?

My, my... Oh, right, right...
I got a message from Genkai.

A message?

From Ba-san?

She says, "I really had to struggle,
because you were such a poor pupil.

I don't want to see your
mug for a good long while,

so don't be coming over here."

There was one final thing.

"Win," she says.

Th-That old hag!

Bonehead! What good are you
if you give up after just this?!

It's only after you think it's hopeless
that the real contest begins!

There is only one basis for it...
Yearning.

Making your heart as one
is the only way

to have control over yourself
once you have gone beyond your limits.

Ba-san...

Genkai, here is my reply!

I'll drive it all the way
to the Spirit Realm!

Take this, you dirty old hag!!

I-Is that...?

Yusuke!

It couldn't be!

Incredible! What force! Unbelievable!

Knowing him...
Knowing Urameshi Yusuke...

Yusuke!

Do you think it reached Ba-san?

Yeah. I'm sure it reached her.

Yusuke has gotten over his sorrow
over the death of Genkai.

Tomorrow, he faces mortal combat
against the Toguro Team.

However, as with the starry
sky at which he is gazing,

there is no gloom
within Yusuke's heart.

Genkai Ba-san, the finals are upon us.
I won't grieve any longer!

Ba-san, you've entrusted
everything to me.

For your sake, there's no way
I'm going to lose to Toguro!

Let's go, everyone!
We are going to crush those guys!

Next time, "The Turbulent
Final Round Begins!"

I'm going to settle this once and for all!
