01x59 - Toguro Kei no Bukimi na Kage

[bunniefuu]

Having won their way through the
intense fighting of the Dark Tournament,

the Urameshi Team finally faces

their showdown with destiny against
the Toguro Team in the final round.

In the first match, despite dealing
an absolute knockout blow to Karasu,

Kurama suffered a ten-count defeat.

In the second match,

Hiei used all of his spectral
energy, and after a fierce battle,

he defeated Bui with his ultimate
Ensatsu kokuryu-ha wave.

This brought the score
to a one-to-one tie.

"The Eerie Shadow of Toguro the Elder."

You know, they did a good job of
smashing this place up something fierce.

Once again, we've been made aware of
the force of Hiei's Ensatsu kokuryu-ha.

While the man who launched
it is sound asleep there.

He has used up all of his energy.
He doesn't have much choice.

Be that as it may,

what are we going to do about the
next match with the ring the way it is?

Who cares about the ring?
With the momentum we've got now,

I'm going to go out there
and pluck us another victory!

What's the deal with
this chill I'm feeling?

Why am I trembling like this?

That b*stard's just trying to
provoke you. Don't let it bother you.

Who, me? Don't be a dumbass!
I was just staring them down, that's all.

I've just received an announcement
from the tournament's main office.

For the next short while,

we will be taking some time out
in order to repair the ring.

Ahem...

Yes, what is it?

Do you happen to need a
play-by-play announcer's assistant?

You see, I'm terribly bored.
Please allow me to help you out.

We will now be conducting a mic test.

J-Just a moment,
y-you'll get me in trouble!

Basu, gasu, bakuhatsu...
Basu, gasu, bakuhatsu...

He's good...!

And now for a song!

On the night of the full moon...

What the hell did he
come here for, anyhow?

You're a fine one to talk, Koenma.

Are you in any position
to speak about others?

I-I'm here out of concern for you guys!

Well, well, a break, huh?
Nothing we can do about that.

I guess I'll go back to our waiting room.

Your intuition is indeed sharp.

I mean, for you to be having
a premonition of your own death...

W-Why, you... When did
you get over here?!

You have grown surprisingly
over these last few months.

However, the difference in
our levels of power is just too great.

You know this as well.
You are certain to die.

How fortunate for you that
your execution has been delayed.

You should spend this intermission time
ensuring you leave no regrets in this world.

You are certain to die!

What's the matter, Kuwabara?
You're all restless.

I-I was just thinking that with
the break lasting as long as this,

that maybe Ba-san would be coming back.

Are you afraid of fighting
Toguro the Elder?

Just a little bit. If you like,
do you want to fight him?

When it comes to fighting,
I'm ready at any time...

to run away!

For the love of...
You're not worth a damn!

And you're supposed
to stand in for Ba-san?

If only Ba-san were here,

then I could have had their boss,
Sakyo, as my opponent.

This isn't like you, Kuwabara.
Don't go counting on Ba-san.

She's not coming back today.

Hey, Kazuma...

What are you backing away from?!

You dumbass, I'm not backing away!

I'm just... a little
bit nervous, that's all.

Kazuma, are you...?

Is something the matter, Shizuru-san?

No, not really.

Kazuma's Reiki is different
than the way it usually is.

You are...

Kazuma-san?

Yukina-san!

I wanted you to do your
best in the next match,

so I brought you some stamina drinks.

You didn't need to go to all that trouble.

When Toguro the Elder goes
up against your man Kuwabara,

he'll be all worked over in 0.5 seconds!

Y-Your affections have
definitely reached me!

Maybe I'm over-imagining things...

What is that rumbling?

What the hell is happening?

W-What is this?

What is with that guy?!

How can this be?!

Contestant Toguro has brought
the ring from the previous stadium!

What truly, truly extraordinary strength!

He's carrying that huge ring...?

Dammit! The mood I was in
from Yukina-san's encouragement

just got blown away all at once!

What kind of monster is this guy?!

Are you awake?

Where am I? How many
hours have I been asleep?

We're in our waiting room, and you've
been asleep for about six hours.

What about the tournament?!
How are Yusuke and Kuwabara?

They still haven't fought.

But neither one of them could sit still,
so they went over to the arena.

What? What's going on?!

They've had their hands full
cleaning the stadium up after you.

Toguro the Younger carried the tile
ring from the previous stadium here,

and at last, it's gotten to the point
where the matches can go on.

What?

The stadium maintenance is complete,
and matches have become possible.

The matches will reconvene
thirty minutes from now.

Spectators, please return to your seats.

Hiei, how about we go too?

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we apologize for the long delay.

We will now hold the third match!

Sheesh, they're reconvening the matches,
and Ba-san still hasn't come back?

Good grief, what an imbecile...

What, did you finally wake up?

Yusuke, why haven't you told
Kuwabara-kun about Master Genkai?

Hey, you're looking a little pale.

Are you going to concede
the match and run away?

Don't put me in the same category as you!

I am Kuwabara Kazuma!

For me, taking care of
that guy is a piece of cake!

That's right! I'm not
about to lose to this guy!

I've got this surefire special sword!

All right! We've been waiting for this!

After the Toguro brothers'
consecutive wins, it's all over!

Kazuma...

And so, the final round
is at last resumed!

The interruption has
lasted about six hours.

However, thanks to the extraordinary
performance of Contestant Toguro,

the tension among the spectators
has been steadily rising!

Well then, I'll just go
put the squeeze on him...

Kuwabara! Be a good boy and get k*lled!

k*ll him! k*ll him! k*ll him good!

Kazuma-san...

I'll win for sure
if I make the first move!

With my deadly sword here,
I'm going to scare him out of his mind!

Begin the match!

How about that?! You nervous?

Contestant Kuwabara produces
a powerful Rei-ken sword

unlike any he has displayed before.

What's more, his Reiki is
enveloping him like a barrier.

Kuwabara-kun's astounding
powers of recovery

have become even more heightened!

The Reiki coursing through his
sword is also several times stronger.

It is indeed a weapon of
both offense and defense!

I'm going to settle this
right away! Here goes!!

That sword is definitely trouble.
I think I'll use that one trick...

The floor under Toguro's feet...!

You're mine!

Why isn't he moving out of the way?!

What?!

W-What's going on...?

This is a surprise!

With a lightning-speed attack,
Contestant Kuwabara

has cut Contestant Toguro
clean in half in the blink of an eye!

You did it, Kuwa-chan!

The b*stard won!

Incredible!

What happened to Toguro the Elder?!

Hey, did he really just win?

I'm not sure.

I-I did it! I beat Toguro the Elder!

The winner is Kuwa--

What?!

This is a surprise!

Contestant Toguro the Elder,
who was supposed to have been cut in two,

has implausibly sprung back and
appeared behind Contestant Kuwabara!

However, the severed body of Contestant
Toguro is also definitely still in the ring!

Are you sure Toguro the Elder
isn't a twin?

No, there isn't any data in
my materials concerning that.

Then maybe triplets.

It pleases me that you are so
naive that I was able to fool you.

How come there are two of him...?

The one that you sliced was a living
doll that I made out of my own body.

An imitation.

I did feel pain, but not
as much as you do now.

What's more, it's not just
my shape that I can alter.

I am also capable of relocating

my internal organs, brain,
and so forth into my arms or legs.

I moved my entire self behind you
through the soles of my feet

by drilling my way through
the floor tiles!

What kind of b*stard are you?!

This is quite a handy instrument, huh?
Is it a memento from Genkai?

Memento...?

Then again, after leaving a
memento to a pupil as foolish as you,

she won't be able to rest
in peace, now that she's dead.

W-What?! What did you just say?!

What are you so surprised at?
Do you mean you didn't know?

Genkai is dead. She's been k*lled!

D-Dead...?

Genkai-san has died?

Th-That can't be...

Ba-san won't be coming back today.

Sheesh, they're reconvening the matches,
and Ba-san still hasn't come back?

Good grief, what an imbecile...

So that's it...

Everyone else knew, huh?

Am I the only one...
Am I the only one that didn't know?!

There's no need to grieve.
You'll be going where Genkai is very soon.

All I have to do is
squeeze my fingers together,

and I can pluck your heart right out!

Kazuma-san!

Kuwabara!

Your pals are all so cold!
Nobody told you?!

All right, then. Before you die,
I'll explain to you...

how powerless and
miserable you humans are...

with a puppet show!

Once upon a time, there was a
young man and a young woman.

The woman's name was Genkai,
and she was a beauty without equal.

And the man was my younger brother,
and he went by the name of Toguro.

The two of them were friends who
worked to master the martial arts.

However...

As the months and years went by,
the woman grew hideously older...

Brother!

It's okay, let me do this!

Contrarily, the man used the power of
the Demon Realm to better his martial arts

and he kept his youth.

And so, the old woman became
envious of the man, still in his youth,

and challenged him to a duel.

However, as heartbreaking as it may be,
she met with defeat in her challenge.

I-Incredibly, it seems that
Contestant Genkai was k*lled

by Contestant Toguro the Younger
before the beginning of the finals!

Botan-san, is this true?
Has Genkai-san died?

Mm-hmm.

I-It can't be...!

And so, Genkai was k*lled by my
brother and went to heaven.

Where she lived happily ever after.

You're wrong!
Ba-san didn't fight out of envy!

He's just being asinine.

It's a bad habit that Brother has.

That... does it...!

You're sure full of spirit, huh?

However, I have your
trump card right here.

You cannot cut through
me with your Reiki alone.

Shut up...!

You're the one who's
going to be silenced! Die!!

Oh, my! Contestant Kuwabara
has had his heart run through!

W-What does this mean?

I've stopped at the skin,
and I can't stab any farther!

Incredible! Kuwabara-kun's Reiki is
rising higher and higher out of anger!

I'm going to make you...

I'm going to make you pay!!

Burn in hell!!

What?!

Oh, my! Contestant Kuwabara fights back

with a technique he's
showing us for the first time!

The tables have been turned!

Incredibly, Contestant Kuwabara has cut
Contestant Toguro the Elder to pieces,

and dropped him onto the ring!

You did it!

Kazuma-san...!

Nicely done, Kazuma.

And now, I will begin the count! 1...

However, there is no
need to listen to the count,

as Contestant Toguro the Elder's
defeat is clear just by looking at him.

The Urameshi Team now leads
with two wins and one loss,

and they are only one step away
from winning the Dark Tournament!

The upcoming Yusuke-san has it
practically wrapped up, if I may say so...

W-Who was that who
threw the can at my head?!

The matches are not over yet.

The last man,
Toguro the Younger, still remains.

He is strong... More than strong!

-While I am in a neutral position...
-What the heck is with this guy?

6...

You lowlife... This is your own fault
for making fun of Genkai Ba-san's death.

8...

Stop that. Your count is meaningless.

To think that you could sh**t
your sword Reiki like shuriken knives...

You're more clever than I expected.

What...?!

But it's not good to overexert yourself.

You see? You've got too many
injuries to be releasing your Reiki

in a way you're unaccustomed to.

H-His body is joining back together!

Moreover, unfortunately for you,
that attack did no damage to me.

What are you, immortal?!

I-I'm terribly sorry. Contestant Toguro
the Elder has not been defeated.

On the contrary, he has
not even taken damage.

I apologize, and make the correction.

Whoa, that was awesome,
Toguro the Elder!

All of the parts that were cut
off have gone back to normal!

As long as you don't
crush my heart and brain,

you have no chance of surviving.

However, since I can move
my heart and brain at will,

there's no way you can
tell where they are!

D-Dammit...!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to
have you sprawl out on the ground.

It's what suits you best!

Rot in hell!

The furious Kuwabara confronts
the undying Toguro the Elder.

Kuwabara is in a desperate situation.
Can he escape from this crisis?

Toguro the Elder...
Just who the hell is that guy?

Cut him again and again, and he just
returns back to his original form!

There's no way to stop him like this!
Isn't there any way to defeat him?

Kuwabara, I'm begging you, get up!

I don't want to have to
avenge your death as well.

Next time, "expl*si*n of Anger!
Kuwabara's Counterattack."

We haven't made it
to the finals for nothing!
