01x16 - Tobi Yo Reiken! Kuwabara Otoko no Shobu

[bunniefuu]

Humans infected by
the terrible Makaichu bugs

become ravaging monsters bent on
the destruction of the Human Realm.

To defeat the Four Holy Beasts who
control the Makaichu with their bug flute,

Yusuke, together with Kuwabara, Kurama,
and Hiei, has come to Demon City.

There, Kurama, despite being injured,

managed to defeat Genbu,
the first of the Four Holy Beasts.

However, that was
nothing more than a prelude

to the fierce battles yet to come!

"Grow, Rei-ken! Kuwabara: A Man's Fight."

Kurama, is your wound all right?

Yeah. It's not so bad that I can't move.

But you probably can't
fight with that injury.

Without Kurama, we have
three more opponents left.

Hey, just leave the next
opponent up to me!

After you went on
quivering up until Kurama won?

Shut up! I was just surprised
at it happening so suddenly!

And as for me, I wasn't
exactly doing nothing

while you were off training at
Master Genkai's place. Watch this!

Rei-ken!!

Kuwabara! When did you manage
to obtain that spiritual power?

Nice, nice! Maybe I'll make him
a Spirit Realm Detective like Yusuke!

Koenma-sama! If you decide that so easily,
you'll be scolded by Yama the Great!

Spiritual power, attack power and
defense power must all be in order,

or else he will not be qualified
to be a Spirit Realm Detective.

I know! But it looks like Kuwabara
might just pass those tests.

Watch out!

As I was trying out
different things, you know,

I became able to create a Reiki
sword using just my bare hand!

Urameshi, are you surprised?

Once we defeat the Four Holy Beasts,
I'll square off with you and your Rei-g*n.

I'll take you on any time!

h*! So he's not just a big lunk, huh?

What?! How about if I k*ll you?!

Hmph. Amusing.

Cut it out!

Fine, then. But this is
the result of my research.

Ready? Watch this!

Sword... extend!

Oh! It grew out like a spear!

It grows and shrinks at my will!

Earlier, I was shaken up by
suddenly seeing that monster,

but my mental preparation is okay now.

Leave the next opponent to me!

Maybe doing that just now
made me a little fatigued...

So don't do it right before you fight!

Yusuke, this is awful!

What is it, Botan?

Yusuke, I was out on patrol, right?

And I found a whole lot of Makaichu bugs
in the stone wall around a kindergarten!

You what? At a kindergarten?

That's right!

But I thought Makaichu could only live off
people with shadiness in their hearts.

That's how it's supposed to be,

but if they force themselves
to live off of a little child,

it could cost that child its life!

What's the matter, Botan?!

It's a human who's been
taken over by a Makaichu!

What?! Hey, are you okay?!

He's coming after me! What should I do?!

I can't let loose on the bug
without hurting the person!

Run!

I still have to do something!
The damage is going to spread!

Hey, Botan! Are you all right?!

Botan-chan!

Hey! Botan! Botan!

Botan, are you okay?

Yeah, I managed to make him pass out.

But it's just a matter of time before
damage occurs in the city, Yusuke!

What was that awful howling?
I can't believe it's of this world!

What's the matter, Yusuke?

Botan, I'll contact you later.

Yusuke!

That's the roar of Byakko!
Apparently, he's in quite a bad mood.

Let's go!

Watch out!

Byakko!

THE FOUR HOLY BEASTS: BYAKKO

You would deliberately
bring yourselves before me?

He's huge!

He's gotta be more
than three meters tall!

I'll do this.

You dumbass! I'll beat
this guy all by myself!

Don't get too proud of yourselves

just because you defeated
that errand boy Genbu!

As if being sealed up in
this infuriating Demon Realm castle,

unable to come by anything good to eat,
isn't irritating enough...

To think that on top of that,
the opponents the Spirit Realm sends

to defeat us are you four kids!

Listen! You humans will be fodder for me!

Fodder, you say?!

Hiei!

Kurama!

I'm going to carve you up and
serve you as fodder to the Fugaki!

What an awful voice!
The floor broke off and fell away!

Now, you have nowhere to run!

Why don't all four of you
come at me together?

We know how that will turn out, though!

b*stard! You want to say
anything you please, do you?!

Kuwabara!

Let me go!

Kuwabara...

You're really planning to go alone?

Of course I am!

Everyone knows you fight one-on-one.

Oh? Are your legs quivering out of
warrior's anticipation there, huh?

Anyhow, I said I was
going, and I'm gonna go!

Sure you just haven't gotten
yourself in too deep to back out?

You shut up! Just close
your mouth and watch!

Just one?!

You're coming to fight
against me all alone?

Fight me, Byakko!

This is so absurd,
my anger has disappeared!

Come on, you! Stop your
laughing and get down here!

You fool! Don't be ridiculous!

There's no need for me to involve
myself with the likes of you.

What was that?!

Who is this guy, Son Goku?

These enchanted beasts
are split off from me.

Go on, you guys,
slice him up slowly and k*ll him!

Make those who would stand against me
regret their impetuousness in death!

Yow!

Kuwabara!

Damn it, no more mercy!

Rei-ken!!

You can turn Reiki into a weapon, huh?

Nevertheless,

do you think you can face all four
enchanted beasts with that thing?!

Kuwabara!

Kuwabara!

Kuwabara! Come back!

He's not even worth mentioning.

With his swordsmanship, it's only
a matter of time before he's put to death.

Kuwabara! Trade places with me!
If there are a lot of opponents,

then maybe my Shotgun
can do something about it!

You're at a disadvantage because you can't
fight at a distance with your Rei-ken!

Kuwabara!

You'd be better off not trading out,
but fighting all together!

It's only natural that one of you
facing me alone should be impossible!

Kuwabara! Stop trying to show off!
Trade places with me!

Don't be absurd!

How can I trade with you before I've even
dragged that guy into the same ring with me?!

Listen, Urameshi! If you meddle
here where you're not needed,

then I'll k*ll you before I get to Byakko!

Kuwabara...

Looks like you haven't
learned your lesson yet!

All right, my enchanted beasts,

each of you bite through
one of his arms or legs!

I'm going to devour his head and body!

You've gotta be kidding me!

I just got my arms and legs healed!
I'm not about to let them be eaten!

Kuwabara! This is no time to be
so damn stubborn! Switch with me!

It's not possible for you
to defeat all of them at once!

Kuwabara!

All of them?

At once?

Kuwabara! Come back!

That's it!

So he's finally awakened to his
terror and run back to his friends?

It's too late now, though!

Bite both him and
his friends there to death!

Kuwabara... So that's
all you had after all, huh?

Kuwabara-kun...

That's good! Leave the rest to me!

Running away is useless!

Who said I was running away?!

Sword, extend!!

Take this!

W-What?!

Fools! You fell for it!

I purposefully led them onto a narrow path
in order to line them up straight!

Way to go, Kuwabara!

The simpleton thinks as a simpleton would.

What? Why you, Hiei...!
Fight me! Come on over here!

Watch what's in front of you!

I know! Hey you, Bulky! You're next!

Miserable fool! My splintered-off
enchanted beasts are not so weak

that they could be k*lled by just that!
Go on, bite them like that!

What does that idiot think he's doing?

How do you like that?!

W-What?!

Did you see that? Monsters
on a skewer, donut version!

He tied his Reiki together!
He's got no common sense!

A donut, huh?

Still, since they came from his hairs, we
couldn't eat them even if we roasted them!

Even though you could have
just comported yourselves

to be k*lled by my enchanted beasts...

Hey you, Bulky! What's the matter?!

This is what happens to
your enchanted beasts!

Now you've really gotten me...
really gotten me angry!

You're just a punk that likes to show off.

In any event, your enchanted beasts are
all burned out! And now, it's your turn!

Why, you... getting so full of yourself!

I'm going to k*ll you personally now,
with my own hands!

Enough bluster already!
Come on down from there and fight me now!

You little brat!

Looking at him up close,
he's frighteningly huge!

Is Kuwabara going to be all right?

No! What am I supposed to do
if I let him intimidate me?

I'll warn you now, you cannot defeat
me with that blunt sword of yours!

What was that?!

If that Rei-ken is your
best and only weapon,

then you don't have
a one-in-a-hundred--

no, a one-in-ten-thousand
chance of winning!

Come on, come on, come on!

You'll see whether or not this will work
when I test it on your own body!

How's that?!

Awright! Kuwabara's
completely setting the pace!

Move it! I can't see, you know!

Way to go, way to go, Kuwabara!
Here now, you watch carefully too!

Kuwabara is strong!

Get him, get him, Kuwabara! Way to go!

Huh?

What's the matter?

Strange, huh?

What is?!

Take a good look at the two fighting.

It's certainly true that
Kuwabara is setting the pace.

However, Kuwabara is the one
who is overwhelmingly exhausted.

Damn, what the hell does this mean?

It's like no matter how many times
I attack him, it has no effect at all...

No, it's even worse! I'm going
to be the first one to give in!

And that isn't the only thing!

Don't tell me he's...!

Byakko has gotten a size larger!

I've got it! Look at
Kuwabara-kun's Rei-ken!

My sword!

It's gotten smaller!

Byakko is sucking out
Kuwabara-kun's Reiki!

You mean he's taking
it for his own energy?

Looks like you've realized it!

What will you do? Throw away
the sword and fight bare-handed?

Don't be ridiculous!

Stop it, Kuwabara!

No matter how much you attack your
opponent, you'll just make him larger!

Kuwabara! Don't do it!

How can Kuwabara the man stop attacking
after he's come to this point?!

The ferocious demon Byakko

devours the Reiki emitted by his opponent
and turns it into his own power!

With his Rei-ken as his only weapon,

does Kuwabara no longer
have any chance of winning?

Urameshi, don't you misjudge me!

Once Kuwabara the man
starts a one-on-one fight,

he doesn't give up in the middle!

Come on, now! If you try helping me out,

I'll curse you as long as I live!

So then, come on, you freak cat!
I'll knock you off your perch!

If you want to finish me that badly,
then I'm taking you with me!

Next time, "Byakko's Hellish Roar!"

I'm going to go see
the Other World as well!
