01x26 - Ankoku Bujutsukai e no Shotaisha

[bunniefuu]

At Koenma's order,
Yusuke and Kuwabara stole their way

into Tarukane Gonzo's mansion,
where they tackled a band of Yokai.

Then, after a fierce battle, they finally
defeated the Toguro brothers.

They succeeded in rescuing
Hiei's sister Yukina

from humans whose hands were
filthy from money and greed.

"Invitees to the Dark Tournament."

Wait!

You're going, no matter what?

The Ice Maidens have a practice of not
living outside of the Land of Glaciers.

Thank you, Kazuma-san. Really...

Hey, Kuwabara-san has suddenly
gotten quiet, don't you think?

500 yen says he's been
influenced by a movie.

Nope! 500 yen says
he was jilted by a woman.

Kirishima, you got it right!

Hey, hey, he wasn't
actually jilted, right?

The girl did go home to that
Land of the Glaciers place, didn't she?

Isn't that nice, though?
The ultimate long-distance love affair!

-Kuwabara-san!
-Please, wait up!

Kuwabara....

Well, this time around,

it looks like he got left with
a bad taste in his mouth, huh?

Same goes for Hiei, after all.

He didn't tell Yukina-chan
that she was his sister, right?

No.

Are you going to let her go like this?

You're sure you're okay with not
telling her you're her brother?

Yukina doesn't know me.

There's no need for her to
know me from here on, either.

We had different
mothers in the first place.

Still, you searched for her
for so long, right?

I'm a man who was once on
the Spirit Realm's wanted list.

Do you think she would be delighted to
know that she has a brother like that?

I'll be fine just watching
over her from the shadows.

Did you, by any chance,
get that Jagan just to find her?

Nonsense.

Still, it's all right!
Hiei didn't k*ll Tarukane.

It wouldn't have mattered
that it was to save his sister.

If he had k*lled a human...

I was this close to having
to order you to arrest Hiei.

Me, arrest Hiei?

Yeah. They squabbled about it
quite a bit in the Spirit Realm.

About whether or not they should tell Hiei
that Yukina-chan was being imprisoned.

That's the reason we took the way
out of having Hiei deliver that tape.

And leave it up to chance
whether he watched it or not?

That's not even funny!

Well, for a little while,

it doesn't appear you'll have
any orders, so take it easy!

So long!

Hey!

Yusuke!

Yusuke!

You're late!

And so, this mission too
has been completed safely.

Mm-hmm, good work.

However, for a time, I was really
worried about what would happen.

I was genuinely resentful of you, Koenma,

for making Yusuke and Kuwabara
fight such a strong opponent!

Hey, I knew from the beginning

that Yusuke and Kuwabara's
powers had increased.

Would I put my dear Yusuke
through something like that?

I should have known!
You foresaw everything, huh?

Koenma-sama,

what shall I do with the funeral clothes
and memorial offering you had prepared?

What's this?

I-I was just preparing
for the worst, that's all...

Koenma-sama!!

It's okay, isn't it?
They won, after all...

Koenma-sama! Something terrible
has happened! The Toguro brothers...!

This video was sent from our agents.

What's the matter?

Please, watch!

Ups-a-daisy...

W-What's this?! How can this be?!

Be quiet.

Good work, Toguro brothers.
That was a marvelous performance.

My ears are sharp.

All it took was for me to listen to
their strategy and then make use of it.

Losing on purpose builds up
more stress than I thought.

By the way, are you sure it was
all right to let that girl get away?

She was an important commodity,

as far as the trade routes Tarukane
was secretly selling to, right?

It does not matter.

Compared to the grand
enterprise I'm about to undertake,

she will have no more value
than pebbles along the shore.

I'm relieved to hear that.

In that case, I have a favor to
ask of you, my true employer.

I would like to fight those two once
again in a martial arts tournament.

This time, seriously.

That was my intention from the beginning.

After all, those two are to be important
guests at the upcoming Dark Tournament.

You're not very amiable either.

Getting those two to fight with us was
your real objective in this, wasn't it?

You're sharp. So, what are your
impressions, having fought them?

That one was named Urameshi, right?
The one who was sh**ting?

He gets stronger the more you hit him.

Don't let yourself get tripped up.
The tournament is in two months.

Ah, one more thing. Dispose
of that trash up there for me.

I'm ruined! I'm ruined!

Koenma-sama! By "tournament,"
don't tell me he meant...

They intend to invite Yusuke and Kuwabara
as guests to the tournament, huh?

If so, what will happen?

Hey, are you still expecting
me to hang around with you?

What are you talking about,
after doing only this much?

After we're done shopping,
we're going to have some cake,

and then we're going to Disneyland.

Disneyland?!

Right!

That is, unless I run away...

Where are you going?

N-Nowhere...

Maybe you were trying to leave
me behind, like you did last time.

Sh-Shall we go to Disneyland, then?

Thank you very much.

It's too dangerous! Please stand back!

I wonder what happened.

Let's go see!

Ah! Yusuke!

It's too dangerous!
Please do not get any closer!

It's too dangerous!
Stand back, stand back!

What?

Yusuke...

Who are you?

Have you forgotten me already?

I guess I don't make
much of an impression.

Y-You're...!

What's the matter?

You look as though somebody's
pulled the rug out from under you.

You... It can't be! I was certain,
back then, you were...!

Come with me. We have to talk.

You wouldn't want to lose
your cute girlfriend, would you?

What's this?

Keiko-chan!

NO TRESPASSING

Appearing as if I had been
beaten was, in fact, just an act.

Well, that's all over now.

What I have to say
is something personal...

that is, a private matter
between us as men, I suppose.

Enough of this vain chatter!

Get to the point, already!

Are you scared of me?

Don't be ridiculous!

Quit putting up this useless brave front.

Your instincts fear me.

Knowing an opponent's true fears
is a part of one's strength.

You are strong! You can
be much, much stronger.

That is why I have decided to show
this to you now... The real me!

When I fought you, I was at
about 20 percent, I suppose.

And now, this...

This is about 60 percent...

Were you too scared to even run away?

Two months from now,

there will be a martial arts tournament
held at a certain location.

Martial arts tournament?

It's a tournament where
the rich and powerful people

who use the underworld to manipulate
things behind the scenes gather.

Those who are confident
that they are the strongest

participate in teams of five members,
fighting until one of them is dead.

The humans participate in it for
the money and the amusement,

and the Yokai for
the blood and the hedonism.

You and Kuwabara will be the guests
of this Dark Tournament.

If you decline,
I will k*ll you right here.

Become stronger,
like your life depended on it.

Winning is the only way
for you to survive.

M-My legs are like rubber...
I couldn't even move...

Damn it all...!

Damn it all!

A-Awesome...

Judging from your expressions,

it would seem you have heard
the news from your agents.

I'm going to have you two participate
in the Dark Tournament as well.

You will be members
of Urameshi's team, of course.

The horrific Dark Tournament...?

Once you've sided yourselves with humans,

you can never disassociate
yourselves from them.

Choose your fifth member on your own.

Find yourselves
the strongest ally you can.

How are our chances?

We'll see...

So, you've finally come?

You're wearing a bit of a
better face now, I'll bet.

It's useless, no matter
how many times we do this.

This time, I'm not going
to show you any mercy.

You're entering the
tournament then, no matter what?

Yeah.

Hiei thought of you as human,
and held back on you.

My training will be even tougher
than Hiei's. Will that be okay?

I don't care! Make me stronger!

Understood. Now then...

How was that?! Did it hurt?!

If you want to get stronger, then
keep up with me for all you're worth!

I want to become stronger.
As much as I can in two months!

Damn it to hell...!

And so, two months went by.

I've been anxiously waiting for this day!

Not only do we get to openly
run around in our true forms...

...if we win, then whatever we want
will be free for the taking!

We're the ones who are going to win!

If you value your lives,
go home now, while you can!

You're going to take back
every word of that!

You know something? It reeks of humans!

Have they come just to be eaten up?

That Urameshi b*stard sure is late!
What the hell is he doing?

The final member
hasn't been chosen either.

Never mind worrying
over others, how are you?

Have you gotten the least bit better?

You'll just have to look
forward to seeing me!

I'm gonna win my way
through this tournament,

and get my name spread
throughout the underworld!

That'll keep any Yokai from ever
getting close to Yukina-san again!

All of you who 'ave gathered,
it is just about time for us to set sail.

H-Hey, pops, wait a little bit longer!
One of the guests is late!

There is a rule that in such an event,

he is considered to 'ave fled,
and an assassin will be sent after 'im.

Hey! Sorry, sorry!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Why, you! You're late, Urameshi!

Urameshi?

He defeated Rando and Suzaku?

If we defeat that guy,
our reputations will rise right away!

I'm worn out all over my body, you know!

Hey, you're staggering there,
aren't you? Are you okay?

Yusuke...

What's this?

What the hell are they doing?

Th-They're fast! It's all I can do
to follow them with my eyes!

That was a pretty hazardous greeting, huh?

I don't know where you were or
what you were doing up to now,

but it appears you've
become a bit more capable.

A bit, he says? He's gotten
outrageously stronger, don't you know!

It's all right. If you were able to
follow their movements just now,

then you've grown quite a bit too.

By the way, don't tell me that runt
over there is our fifth member, is he?

What?! This guy? You mean this
isn't some ornamental raccoon?

Hey, hey, you're sure about this, now?

Relax! That's our strongest ally around.

I'm still not convinced...

Who cares? Just me and
Yusuke alone will be enough.

So then, everyone, we set sail!

Having taken on Yokai who seek
blood and are full of ambition,

the boat finally departs.

Its destination is Kubikukuri Island,
a solitary isle deep at sea.

It is the grounds for the Dark Tournament.

What sort of battles are waiting
for Yusuke and the others there?

At last, we've departed for the grounds of
the Dark Tournament, on Kubikukuri Island.

However, the brutal Yokai are after blood,
and if we drop our guard even a little,

then forget what will happen on the island,
we'll lose our lives here on the boat!

Toguro is waiting for me on the island.

I can't let myself be done in
until I've beaten him to a pulp!

Next time, "Departure of Death!
To the Island of Hell."

The Other World's
not watching for nothing!
