01x96 - Yami no h*m* Sha - Fukamaru Nazo

[bunniefuu]

After having completed
a life-and-death battle with Sensui,

Yusuke returned to the Human Realm

but felt that something
was lacking from his daily life.

Through the help of Genkai,

Yusuke left to consult with Sanada Kuroko,
the first Spirit Realm Detective.

There, he had a glimpse of
the daily life that Kuroko is now leading.

However, it was then that
mysterious visitors arrived.

We have come from the Demon Realm.

Yusuke-san, let us speak
about your destiny.

My destiny?

"Visitors of Darkness--
The Mystery Deepens."

You've come from the Demon Realm?

Yes.

That's funny...

Are you guys weakling Yokai?

You're being rude, To'o.

I don't sense any Yoki from any of you.

Yet you say you're
residents of the Demon Realm.

It's not surprising that
you wouldn't believe us,

the way we've come visiting
you out of nowhere.

Speaking in terms of
Spirit Realm ability standards,

the two behind me,
Seitei and To'o, are A-class,

while I, Hokushin,
would enter into the S-class rank.

You're S-class?

Yes.

But the tunnel from the Demon Realm
to the Human Realm

was completely closed up.

A-class and S-class Yokai

shouldn't be able to come
into the Human Realm anymore.

Logically, that would certainly be so.

We have come without making use
of distortions between dimensions.

By means of a simpler way,
by which we would not be detected...

What?

Hey...

Fill us in, too! What on earth
are you talking about now?

Oh, well, it would take
a long time to explain.

It's okay! I am the first
Spirit Realm Detective,

and your senior, after all!

A passageway to the Demon Realm,
as well as S-class Yokai, huh?

I didn't know about any of this.

It's been over ten years since
I retreated from the front lines.

Things have been developing
quite rapidly, haven't they?

So, how did you guys sneak
your way into the Human Realm?

It was a very simple matter.

The Spirit Realm so feared
us S-class and A-class Yokai

intruding into the Human Realm...

that they had to raise a giant barrier

that only Yokai D-class
and lower could pass through.

In which case,

all one has to do is suppress
one's spectral power below D-class,

and one can easily pass through.

What is that thing?!

It is an organic device that all but
eliminates one's spectral power.

We cannot remove these until
we return to the Demon Realm.

There are several other ways by
which we can come to the Human Realm.

However, regulations
prohibit us from using them.

It is only when we must
come into the Human Realm

that we have these devices attached and
are permitted to stay for a brief time.

So what business do you have with me
to go through all that

to come to the Human Realm?

There is someone who wishes by all means
for you to return to the Demon Realm.

He is your true father.

You mean the Yokai who used
that demonkin grand atavism stuff?

That's right.

Like a moth flying into a flame.

I can't let you have such
a hard time with that one!

Let me show you how to use your power!

He just came out like it was nothing!

Then that geezer is still alive?!

Yes, of course.

Is he strong?

But of course.

All right! Take me to
where he is right now!

I've got all kinds of
things I want to tell him!

Do not be hasty. Please listen
to what we have to say first.

As we said earlier, our passage into
the Human Realm is strictly regulated.

You are no exception.

If you were to come with us, it would
mean that you have joined our side.

Why is that?

Because it is our purpose to
come pick you up as a friend.

We cannot take an outsider back with us.

That's a regulation, too, huh? You mean
there are rules in the Demon Realm?

It is a law that has only been
established in our country.

Among the countries in the Demon Realm,
which are as numerous as the stars,

ours is but a small one.

One small country...?

It is true, the Demon Realm
is a world without order.

In the Demon Realm,
disorder is indeed the best law.

People tend to naturally isolate
themselves from each other.

However, there is a great
change taking place now.

There is a contest among just three Yokai

that has the entire
Demon Realm caught up in it.

Three of them? That's just
an ordinary quarrel, isn't it?

You are right. It's just a quarrel.

However, the problem is that each
of the three of them has enough power

to reign over the Demon Realm.

These three all detest each other.
There are several reasons why.

For example, I could mention
the differences in their views on food.

All three Yokai use humans
as a source of energy.

One of them said the following...

Let's stop using people as food.

Immediately, one of
the other Yokai objected...

My stomach cannot accept
anything other than people.

And I'm barely making do
with what little I eat.

As if nothing had happened,
the last one said...

We can eat as much as we want to.

After all, they will multiply
on their own.

Everything is like this with them,

and there is no compromising
on any of their opinions.

However, since all three of them have
such exceedingly comparable powers,

a dubious balance was achieved.

Even if two of the three were to fight,
and one of them should win,

the remaining one would most certainly
take advantage of the situation

and attack at once.

This situation, where everyone glares at
each other but is unable to take any action,

has been going on now for over 500 years.

500 years?! That's a lot of
patience we're talking about!

The only thing that
all three have in common

is a frighteningly
cautious sense of patience.

However, the equilibrium
is now starting to crumble.

The Yokai that said they should
stop using humans for food

is on the verge of death.

It is this Yokai who is the king
of our country, the God of Fighting,

Toshin Raizen.

Your true father.

The cause of his approaching
death is malnutrition.

The king has not had a meal
in nearly a thousand years.

No matter who encourages him, he has
continually, stubbornly refused to eat.

We do not know why he has abstained
from humans to the point of losing his life.

However, one thing we can say is
that as long as it is the king's will,

we will follow him.

So, what are you telling me to do?

If the king falls,
the rest of us will fight in his place.

However, we do not have enough power.

The king knows that you have
come to the Demon Realm once.

I knew it!

He's the one that pulled
that uncalled-for stunt!

At the time, the king
said he could sense you.

He said you still had limited power,

but that you were sure
to be of help to us.

I don't like this at all!

You guys are all but saying you
need all the help you can get.

There's no way you can win,
and you're grasping at straws.

To be honest, you are correct.

My own power does not hold a candle to
that of the king, or the other two Yokai.

And right now, your own
power is a far cry from mine.

That is why we wish for you to come to
the Demon Realm and work on your power.

There's something fishy about this...

I can't describe it very well...

Is everything about your story the truth?

You will just have to believe us.

The only thing I can actually
make sure of from your story

is whether or not you really
are stronger than I am.

Would you like to find out?

That's more like it.

I'm just warning you, I won't hold back.

That is how I would want it as well.

J-Just a minute! Please,
don't go wrecking my house!

Okay? Okay? The children
are sleeping, and everything...

Relax, we won't do anything that reckless.

Let's go.

Say, that story just now

could become material for
your novels, couldn't it?

Huh? Nah, no way. It's too
far removed from reality.

Still, is Yusuke-kun
going to be all right?

There shouldn't be any trouble.
Not only is he a Spirit Realm Detective,

but his ancestor is also
a Demon Realm battle god.

Yeah, but those others are also
masters from the Demon Realm, right?

Say, Kuwabara-kun, you're definitely
hiding something from me, aren't you?

Like I said, I don't know anything.

I called Atsuko-san, and she said
Yusuke hadn't come back yet.

It's right before a test, and he
goes and cuts school like this...

He's not caught up in some
other strange affair, is he?

Tell me the truth!

GAI TECH HIGH OR BUST!!

If that were the case,
I'd be acting together with him.

Kazu, are you studying?

Yes, I am, I am!

Kuwabara Kazuma, the man,
is studying diligently for his test!

Anyhow, my sister has been harping
on me for all the school I've missed,

and it's a real pain.

I'll go to Genkai Ba-san's place
tomorrow to ask about Urameshi for you.

So, I'll see you later.

YUSUKE

Hey, aren't you going to remove
that weird device on your chest?

Don't tell me you're going to go at this
with a D-class level of spectral power?

I cannot remove it until
I return to the Demon Realm.

But still, even without
removing it, I won't likely lose.

I'm seriously going to k*ll you!

Please come at me
with the intent of k*lling me.

I want you to understand
how earnest we are.

With my current spectral power,

I would probably be blown to
smithereens by one punch from you.

That is, assuming you can hit me.

I may have become D-class,
but I have not lost my abilities.

Here goes!

This fight will be decided before all of
the leaves have fallen from this tree.

Mess around with me, will you? Come on!

He's slow...!

With his power suppressed to D-class,
doesn't he have any speed?

Or is he just mocking me?

Either way, you deserve to die!

Take this!

I've got him!

What?!

The most flexible body
in the Demon Realm...

That's what my ability is.

Why, you...!

I can take up a pebble twenty meters
away just by extending my hand.

You b*stard...!

No matter how many times
you try... it won't do any good.

Damn...!

It's no use. No matter how
hard you try to pull me off,

I'm just going to stretch.

You bast--!

Dammit...!

Checkmate.

See? Just like I told you.

It's a toy.

If my power was in its S-class state,
I could have strangled you to death.

But for now, this is all I can manage.

You've made a fool of me!

I call it a psychological trick.

You intentionally set
a short time limit to the fight,

then show off only your ability,

leaving your opponent with
the feeling that he has lost.

Are you convinced?

You expect me to be?!

In that case...

we'll just have to get you to
go to the Demon Realm with us.

Once we do, I can remove
the control device on my chest,

and we can fight all you like.

When that happens,
I will defeat you completely.

You're provoking me again?
I'm not falling for your scam anymore!

Scam?

Even for sour grapes,
I cannot excuse that remark.

I'm not talking about that fight just now!

That story you told me earlier is a scam!

The story earlier?

The story I heard just didn't sit right.
And now I know the reason why.

What are you talking about?

You said my pop is the type
of Yokai that eats humans,

and is the king of your country, right?

Yes.

So...

it's been nearly a thousand years
since this king gave up eating humans,

and as a result, he's about to die, right?

That is correct.

And you said that you were
obeying the king's will, right?

That's right. Which part
of the story is phony?

Okay then, answer me this...

Why have you been eating humans?

Looks like I guessed right, huh?

Nicely figured out.

I've fought with someone who
ate human souls before, you see.

I smelled the same smell
coming from your mouth,

and tricked you into admitting it.

I don't know what you're scheming,

but it's shady characters like you
that infuriate me more than anything!

Get yourself ready!

J-Just a moment, please!
All right, I can explain--

I held back as hard as I could.

I'll decide whether or not to k*ll you
after I hear what you have to say.

Come clean and tell me everything!

The men who appeared before Yusuke
are messengers from the Demon Realm.

Further, they say that Yusuke's
true father is their king,

and that he is growing weak.

Is Yusuke about to face
a turning point in his destiny?

I'm going to the Demon Realm.
That much I've decided.

I don't know if I'll be able to get there,
or if I'll ever be able to return.

But there's someone waiting for me there.

That's why I'm going!

See you later, Keiko, Kuwabara.
I'll be back in a while.

Next time, "Parting--
Our Respective Departures."

The Other World's
not watching for nothing!
