01x83 - Nokosa Re Ta Shudan! Kurama no Ketsudan

[bunniefuu]

Having made their way into Irima Cave,

Yusuke and the others were held up
by the Gamemaster, Amanuma.

Within his Territory,
one must beat his games.

However, with only one more win to go,

Amanuma stepped forward to play,

and his abilities were truly overwhelming.

Two hours remained until
the boundary tunnel would be completed.

Will Yusuke and the others be able to
escape from this Territory before then?

"The Remaining Measure! Kurama's Resolve."

So then, shall we go on to the next one?

I'm going to have you guys
play games with me here

until the tunnel
to the Demon Realm is opened.

So that's it!
His objective was to buy time all along!

That's why he can casually
enjoy these games!

Once the tunnel is open,

I'll lose on purpose
and release my Territory.

Dammit.

Do we have to keep playing these
games with this brat for all that time?

-Isn't there any other way?
-It's hopeless.

I even tried slashing that thing,
and nothing happened.

It's just like it was with Kaito's
ability.

Inside his Territory,
the game is everything.

And if that's the case,
I have no part to play here.

Wake me when it's over.

Kurama, is there any chance
of you winning the game?

I don't know. But then,

if things go the way I imagine they will,

my heart will be heavy
over beating Amanuma.

What do you mean by that?

Amanuma's ability is making the game
a life-size experience, right?

If, like with the real game,
we decide to give up at the end,

it would cause us to die,

but it doesn't matter
if we continue the game.

In other words, inside this Territory,

each person ends up the way
they would at the end of the game.

Amanuma doesn't realize
the true terror of his ability.

Amanuma is just being used by Sensui.

Sensui, what a cruel man you are
for coming up with such a thing!

PUZZLE

THREE-SEVEN

LEVEL G

Okay, the slots have decided.

Who's coming forward next? Then again...

It looks like one of the remaining
people has fallen asleep.

I will play.

What kind of game is Three-Seven?

It's a game of falling pieces.

Tetris or Puyo Puyo
would be typical examples.

Numbers from 0 through 7 drop down
in various combinations.

When you get them to add up to seven,

either up-and-down or sideways,
they disappear.

However, just as the name
"Three-Seven" says,

you can only erase 7s
by lining three of them up in a row.

The numbers keep falling
faster and faster.

If you can't keep up
with making the numbers disappear,

then when it gets to the point

where the numbers are stacked
to the top of the screen, you lose.

It hurts my head just listening
to you explain it.

In other words,
the outcome of the game is controlled

by how much experience
and concentration you have.

Once you get the hang of it,
you can play for hours on end.

Hours on end?

Yes.

It's possible that Minamino is thinking
of using a little psychological warfare.

His victory depends on how much
of his opponent's concentration

he can rob from him.

Amanuma-kun,
there's something I wanted to ask you.

What?

Was it Sensui who told you to use
Game Battler to compete against us?

That's right.

He said that this game would be
most appropriate as a decisive battle.

I'm really good at this game and all.

I knew it!

Do you know what it is
that Sensui is trying to do?

Sure, I know!

Yokai are going to come teeming out
of the Demon Realm

and cause all kinds of mayhem, right?

Sounds like it'll be fun!
My school will be gone, and everything!

As long as I stay inside my Territory,
I can relax.

No Yokai can beat me
at any game after all!

If you lose this game,

you will die.

What?

You will die.

You're just trying to make me uneasy
so that you'll win, aren't you?

That's pretty cheap.
I'm not going to fall for that lie!

You've probably seen the ending
of this game

a lot more times than I have, right?

Ending?

When Game-mao loses,

it states on the screen that he has died.

Games such as this are surprisingly rare.

Game-mao has died,

and peace has come once again to the city.

Game-mao has died.

And your ability will faithfully
recreate the end of the game.

I guess it's safe to say

that this is the first time you've used
your ability in Game Battler.

That's true.

But this game requires
seven people to play!

No other game would have worked!

No, not just limiting it to Game Battler,

you've never used your ability
in any game that hinted at dying,

either at the end or during the game.

Am I wrong?

Well...

Sensui would have somehow stopped you
from doing so.

That's true, all right.

Games involving the taking of life

consume an unusually large amount
of your physical and mental strength.

Until such a critical time comes
that I order you to do so,

do not use your ability that way.

At that time, Sensui-san did,
in fact, tell me...

Hold on, Kurama!

Didn't Amanuma say earlier that
he had no interest in taking our lives?

Whatever else may be going on,

I can't believe that kid would be
risking his own life over this game.

You're right.

Amanuma himself didn't intend this.

But as for Sensui,

I've come to a conclusion.

Sensui has sacrificed you
to attain his objective.

Game start!

Whoever allows their number blocks
to stack up to the top first loses.

What a situation.

So long as we don't give up,
we can continue as many times as we want,

but if Amanuma loses
just this one time, he dies.

Knowing that, Sensui chose this game.

Amanuma did not know this,

and Sensui intentionally did not tell him.

What's worse, Sensui counted on us
that we would realize it.

He assumed that we would be unable
to k*ll Amanuma,

since he was just being used.

Sure enough.

Ordinarily, Kurama would be unable
to do such a thing.

But Kurama will defeat Amanuma.

That's exactly why he told
Amanuma the truth of the matter,

in order to agitate him.

If he hadn't, he would never
have defeated Amanuma in time.

And we don't have any time left.

In order to protect the Human Realm,

Kurama decided on the nastiest,
cruelest method there was.

Or rather, he had no other choice
but to decide on it.

Kurama.

Sensui-san sacrificed me?

It can't be!

Wow, you're good at these games, huh?

Do you want to go against me?

Fine with me, but I'm good at this!

I can't wait!

That was incredible, Sensui-san!

I've never met anyone who could go
toe-to-toe with me at that game before!

You really like games that much?

Well, there's nothing else
that's fun to do.

All of my friends are idiots.

There is something that's even more fun.

Something even more fun than games?

Yes.

Something terribly exciting.

What on earth is that?

I'll tell you once we get
to know each other better.

You're going to turn
the world upside-down?

Yes, and I need your
abilities in order to do so.

I may be smart, but I don't have
any supernatural powers or anything.

They will soon be awakened.

You have what it takes.

Let's make this dull world
more interesting!

Between your stupid parents, stupid
teachers, and stupid classmates,

you must be pretty fed up, right?

It's true, at the end of this game,

the spirit of Game-mao,
which was my only ally in this game,

gets called up to Heaven.

But how could Sensui-san sacrifice me
through this game?

It can't be...

Amanuma missed!

He's shaken up.

I thought my ability
was just to take video games

and make them a real,
life-size experience!

That's what I thought!

Fight against Urameshi
and the others using Game Battler.

It's the game most suitable for you.

With this game, those guys
don't stand a chance against you!

Amanuma's blocks
are piling up higher and higher!

He's totally confused.

What should I do?

Say, isn't there anything I can do?

Anything?

Is there any way to dissolve your
Territory in the middle of the game?

I can't!

Once I become one of the characters
in the game,

one of us has to lose!

I have no intention of losing.

You knew what Sensui's plan was.

It's not as if
you don't bear any responsibility.

I didn't think
it was going to turn out like this!

I...

I don't want to die yet!

Game over. Game-mao loses.

What's up with this tremor?

Get down!

What was that sound?

Amanuma must have lost.

What?

Who would have thought
he'd be beaten by those guys?

You dumbass! Don't underestimate Urameshi!

Hey, Sensui, did you hear that?

Your evil schemes are now
no better off than a candle in the wind!

Makihara, would you quiet him up for me?

I can't hear
what they're saying in this movie.

Right.

Hey, what are you doing?

What the hell are you...

That hurts.

What just happened?

The Game World...

When Amanuma died,
his Territory dissolved.

His Territory dissolved?

So this is all it was, to begin with?

That's what Amanuma's ability made
into that imposing illusion, huh?

Kurama?

Let's hurry on to where Sensui is.

I've never seen Kurama like this.

Okay then, we'll head back
to the city and monitor from there.

-Right!
-Right!

The people were unaware

that Makaichu bugs and lower-order
Yokai were inundating the city.

Further, they did not know

that these evil creatures
disappeared at once,

as if they were afraid of something.

It was the calm before the storm.

The thunderstorm warning
that had been issued for Mushiyori City

has just been canceled.

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

Shizuru-san, forgive me.

For asking so much, I mean.

But I'm worried about Yusuke.

That's all right.

It cleared up!

What's the matter?

Just as the clouds cleared,

all signs of the nasty creatures that had
been covering the city also disappeared.

Then Yusuke and the others
have taken care of Sensui, right?

If so, that would be great.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Like there's something
even more ominous coming...

Shizuru-san!

Police have still found no trace
of Kamiya,

a suspect in a serial m*rder case,

who escaped
from a Tokyo jail several days ago...

What?

Those ominous thunderclouds that
were covering the city have cleared up!

That means that Yusuke and the others
have defeated Sensui! Banzai!

No, it doesn't.

Koenma-sama!

The spatial distortion
has entered a period of stability.

In another two hours,
it will reach its final phase.

What was it that you returned
to the Spirit World so urgently for?

I went to get my Pop's permission.

Yama the Great's permission?

For what, exactly?

If the worst happens,
I will remove my pacifier.

I'm heading up to where Yusuke is.

Botan, you stand by here
for a little while longer.

What am I waiting here for?

If, in two hours, there is an earthquake,

that will be the signal that
the hole is completely open.

At that time, fly immediately
to the Spirit Realm and tell my Pop.

-Right.
-See you.

Hang in there, Yusuke.

At least until I arrive...

Koenma-sama is finally
going to remove his pacifier.

And when he does...

Oh no! I made such a fuss about it,

but I don't even know
what it means in the least!

Next, we go right.

Hey, is Kurama all right?

For a while now, he's been pretty down.

To think that you would be worried
about Kurama...

Let's hope he hasn't snapped
and isn't going to do anything strange.

What is it, Mitarai?

About 50 meters ahead,
there's a big left turn.

That's where the center
of the boundary tunnel is.

Let's go.

Urameshi!

Kuwabara!

That's the center of the hole
connecting to the Demon Realm?

On the other side
lies the true Demon Realm.

What creepy air it has!
I can't even tell if it's warm or cold.

A fine spectacle, isn't it?

The destruction of the revolting species
that we call humanity begins here.

You are most fortunate to have come here,
which is a monumental place.

You are to be witnesses
to an important historical event.

That is, assuming you survive.

Welcome to the entrance
to the Demon Realm.

Finally,

Yusuke and the others have arrived
at the center of the boundary tunnel.

Will they be able to get Kuwabara back
and put a halt to Sensui's schemes?

Nobody knows yet
what true ability Sensui is still hiding.

The fifth person with ability,
Gourmet, now stands before us

as we face the hole
connecting to the Demon Realm.

However, there's something strange
about this guy.

He has a weird attitude,
like he already knows all about us.

Dammit, who the hell are you?

Next time, "Kurama's Fury!
Who is That, Really?!"

The Other World's not watching
for nothing!
