01x81 - Dokutsu no Naka no Gemu Warudo

[bunniefuu]

Sensui and company have captured Kuwabara,
who possesses the ability

to cut through dimensions.

Yusuke desperately gave chase
but was himself being pursued

by the sn*per, Hagiri.

Yusuke found himself in a pinch,

but in the nick of time,
he was saved by Hiei!

They then joined up
with Genkai and the others,

who were following them.

It appears the cast is all here.

"The Game World Inside the Cave."

First of all, let's lay the situation out.

Our enemies, including Sensui,
are seven in total.

Of those, Doctor and sn*per have already
been defeated by Yusuke and company.

Also, Seaman, or rather Mitarai,
is here with us.

Which means there are
four of them left, right?

The enemy has captured Kuwabara-kun.
We believe they are inside Irima Cave now.

That's where they have their hideout.

Yes. Now, Sensui said that the hole
to the Demon Realm would be fully opened

within the next two days.

That's four whole days sooner
than what the Spirit Realm estimates.

So how could the hole connecting to
the Demon Realm be opening so much faster?

It's probably because
the spellcaster Itsuki's ability

is gradually growing stronger.

Come to think of it, Itsuki did say

that things were going
faster than he expected.

And I suppose one glance at the condition
of the city will tell you that.

Given the situation, and considering
that they have Kuwabara-kun,

our only choice is to go
into the cave right away.

Kuwabara-kun has the power
to cut through dimensions.

As such,

until the hole is opened all the way
and the peripheral field is destroyed,

they probably won't k*ll him.

But Gourmet is also among the enemies.

Right. According to
what Mitarai-kun has said,

there's a good possibility that Gourmet
will devour Kuwabara-kun's ability.

Gourmet Makihara literally
eats others' abilities.

I've seen Makihara eat for myself.

When you say "eat,"
what specifically does he do?

He actually consumes them.

He swallows the other person's body whole.

His Territory is inside himself.

We've got the whole picture.
Or at least, the general idea of it.

All right! Let's charge
into their hideout!

Just a moment!

We'd better limit the number
of people going.

Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, you three go.

Blindly increasing your number
would be counterproductive.

The risk of the enemy getting the
advantage over you is greater after all.

The rest of us will stay here
and monitor the situation.

Let me lead them through
the cave's opening.

It's like a giant maze inside there.

Can we trust you?

That man...

I want to at least help Kuwabara-san.

Should I use my Copy ability to make sure
of his intentions, just in case?

I trust you. Let's go.

Thanks.

Yusuke, does this situation remind you
of any other time?

Any other time?

That time when I was caught
by Kaito and the others!

That's right.

Remember now,
whatever happens, don't lose your cool.

The enemy is certain
to come down on you if you do.

Yes, let me handle that.

When we exit the cave,

we'll be bringing Sensui with us,
all beaten to a pulp!

In any case,
there was just this sudden expl*si*n!

I was so scared!

What could it have been? A gas expl*si*n?

No, we're still not sure.

We do have witnesses that say that they
saw some youths fighting in the area.

But fighting wouldn't cause a balcony
to explode.

Perhaps not.

It could be the advance sign
of some natural disaster! I'm sure of it!

Lately, there's been all kinds
of abnormal weather,

and the tropical rain forests
have been turning into deserts,

and the ozone hole is expanding!

Calm down!

In any event, once we know the cause
of this, we'll be in touch.

Excuse me.

Yusuke.

KEEP OUT

No doubt about it.
That's the truck that took Kuwabara away.

Sensui and the others
are inside this cave.

Then this is the entrance to Hell, is it?

How long will it take to get
from here to where Itsuki is?

As long as we stay alert as we're walking,

I think it will take about two hours.

All right!

That's assuming that nothing happens
along the way though...

-You guys are ready, right?
-You don't even need to ask.

Let's go!

Right. We go to the right.

Kurama, what's that?

An Akaru weed. It will mark the way back.
Though I do intend to memorize it too.

That's assuming we do come back, right?

This time, we go this way.

Good grief, it really is like a maze.

We've gone through forks now
in about 20 places.

If those markers disappear,

I get the feeling
we'd never get out of here.

It's okay. We aren't mistaken.

Let's go.

Once we pass through here,
there will be a large cavern.

That's about halfway through.

-Wait!
-What is it?

This is strange.
That door wasn't here before!

A doorway? Is this the Gatekeeper?

No. Itsuki can't move
until the hole is completely open.

We're only about halfway
to the center of the hole.

Hold on now.

Somehow, I get the feeling
I've seen this doorway before.

It wasn't the gate to any school.

It wasn't any restaurant entrances either.

I just can't remember!

But I've definitely seen it somewhere!

It had a capital "G"
right in the middle of it!

Welcome to Devil City.

You seven are the chosen warriors.

To restore peace to the city, you must
now defeat the evil mayor, Game-mao!

Game Battler?

That's right!
This is the gate in Game Battler!

Game Battler?

It's a video game.

Welcome to Devil City.
You seven are the chosen warriors.

Game Battler is a new type of game,

where you must defeat the Game-mao,
who has mastered games of all genres,

and restore peace to the city
that he rules over.

From sports to hand-to-hand fighting,
to quizzes, to puzzles,

he will challenge you
to all types of games.

You must win at least four out of
seven battles against Game-mao!

What would a Game Battler
be doing in a place like this?

Amanuma... Gamemaster?

Welcome to my Territory!

That's Amanuma's voice.

Within my Territory,
you must follow the game's scenario.

In Amanuma's Territory,

he can take any game and make
it materialize in life-size form.

What's more, anything that doesn't
have anything to do with the game

cannot enter the Territory.

Which means that we're breaking in there
as characters who appear in the game?

I don't know how many
of you are out there,

but there must be seven chosen warriors!

You dumbass, we're more than enough!

That won't do!

If we're to enter
into Amanuma's Territory,

we have to obey his rules.

Which means that we can't go any farther
unless there are seven of us.

That's right!
Otherwise, the door will not open.

Damn!

So they've also perceived our intent
to fight as a small, elite group.

How about I dash back outside
and bring three more people then?

It's dangerous to act alone.

Time loss may be a pain,
but we should all go back together.

Good grief!

We're already caught moving at their pace!

Hey, we've got seven people now!

Welcome to Devil City.

You seven are the chosen warriors.

To restore peace to the city,
you must now defeat

the evil mayor, Game-mao!

What is this place?

Welcome to my Territory!

Looks like you finally
have seven people together.

I was getting tired of waiting.

That's Amanuma? That kid?

What's the matter with that?

So how about we get started right away
with some fun games?

To think that the hole is expanding
as fast as this...

I can't believe it myself.

Itsuki, there's no need
to overexert yourself.

Amanuma went to play
with Urameshi and the others after all.

I'm not overexerting myself.

It's expanding on its own.

You dumbasses!
Urameshi and those guys have come now!

He'll be here before you know it,

and then he'll give you the out-and-out,
absolute beatings of your lives...

I'm going to have Urameshi
cut through these ropes,

and then I'm going to use my Rei-ken
to cut you all up like somen noodles!

After I bound you up so easily,
what are you going on about?

Shut up!

My guard was just down at the time!

But once Urameshi
and the others get here--

That won't be possible.

Amanuma is the Gamemaster.

There isn't a person around that can beat
him at Game Battler inside his Territory.

Game?

Is Urameshi any good at playing games?

Urameshi-san,
how does one fight at Game Battler?

You don't know much about
what's popular now, huh?

There's a slot machine over there, see?

They use that
to pick the game type and level.

One of us plays one game
against an opponent.

Whoever wins four games first wins.

Are you ready?

Hurry up,
or the slot machine will start spinning!

Give us a second, would you?

Aren't you guys in a hurry too?
Dawdle around, and I won't fight you!

What a hateful little brat!

If the real Game-mao were a child,
that's what he would be like.

Let's not worry about it and make a plan.

First of all, has anyone had
any experience with this game?

Yes! Me! I've played this before!

Me too.

I have too.

Well, including me, that's four of us.

Me too.

Ba-san, you've played this before?

I don't have all that spare time
for nothing.

Well then, has anyone made it to the end?

I always get stuck partway through,
so not yet.

It was only once,
but I have made it to the end.

Really, Ba-san?

I can beat the game seven
or eight times out of ten.

That's assuming I'm playing
against the regular Game-mao though.

I fare about the same.

You guys are all awesome!

But then, Kaito has a point.

Amanuma has to be a lot
tougher than the actual Game-mao.

There's no reason why he would have
chosen this game otherwise, right?

In any case, I'd like for us
to win three times in a row

before facing Game-mao.

Time's up! I'm spinning the slots!

All right.

Master Genkai,

Mitarai-kun,

and Yusuke.

All right!

The three of you win three times for us.

After that,
Kaito and I will do what we can.

Slot start!

SPORTS

TENNIS

LEVEL 7

The first game is tennis.

That's something I'm good at!
Let me do it!

All right.

For your information,

the genie's level is set the same
as the game's level.

That's a relief, right?

Now then...

Let's have a good time.
There are seven of you after all.

What's this? They need seven people?

And in the end,
I've been left alone out here!

"If anything happens,
you tell Koenma-sama," they say!

Koenma-sama! Please come back soon!

Koenma, what is it?

Right.

There is something I wish
to discuss with you.

Concerning the actions of Sensui,
the former Spirit Realm Detective?

Yes. I wish to obtain your permission

for something in regards
to that matter, my father.

My permission?

Yes, if you please...

SUPER BATTLE TENNIS

EXHIBITION
TOURNAMENT

Nice to see you again, Mitarai-san.

Sensui-san was right.
Sure enough, you betrayed us.

Sensui-san was right.
Sure enough, you betrayed us.

Or maybe you're pretending to betray us,
but you're deceiving them.

If that's the case, it's quite admirable!
I'll have to give you more credit!

Think about it now.

SPORTS

Singles matches.
First to win three sets wins.

Let's have some good matches!

MITARAI VS GAME GENIE

Game start! Service, Game Genie!

All right!

Earlier, we talked about how we were
both outcasts at school, didn't we?

But then, after talking to Sensui-san,

he says that the reasons why you and I
were like that are completely different.

Sensui-san, you see, said, "Amanuma
was alienated because he's so strong.

But Mitarai was alienated
because he's so weak."

To be sure, all the people
around me were such fools

that I separated myself
from them on purpose.

Hey, you! You're making too much racket!

The real Game-mao also heckles you
in various ways.

You lose if you let it get to you.

1-set, Mitarai!

I should have expected
that Sensui-san would understand.

2-set, Game Genie!

You're the complete opposite of me,
aren't you?

MITARAI
GAME GENIE

Set score, 3-1.
Contestant Mitarai is the winner!

I lose!

All right! That's one win, to begin with!

Amanuma, you're right. I am weak.

It was because I didn't have
the courage to admit it

that I cursed the people around me.

It was also because I was weak
that I allowed myself to have a hand

in your horrible plans.

But I'll change!

I'm not going to look away
from the fact that I am a weak person!

Dammit!

The Game Battle in the cave has begun.

Unless the Gamemaster,
Amanuma, is defeated,

they cannot reach the location
where Sensui and the others are!

What sort of Game Battle will unfold next?

It's just a little bit farther
until we reach the enemy hideout,

but it looks like we've entered
some strange world instead.

It's no use complaining though.

In order to get through here,
we have to win these games!

But why is Amanuma so composed?

Don't tell me he has some kind
of dirty trick up his sleeve!

Next time,
"Gamemaster's Fearsome Aptitude."

The Other World's not watching
for nothing!
