01x32 - Naifu Ejji Desu Matchi

[bunniefuu]

In this first round,

the Urameshi Team has faced the mighty
opponents of the Rokuyukai Team.

The contest has come down to a battle
between team captains Urameshi and Chu.

As Yusuke was being tossed around

by Chu's swift movements
and Yoki-powered energy ba*ls,

he resisted with his powered-up Rei-g*n!

However, both of them had equal power.

The outcome of the contest
depends on this final battle!

"Knife-Edge Death Match."

You released all of
your Reiki in that attack,

and now, you're no different
from any other ordinary human.

Am I wrong?

I guess you're right...

The truth is, I'm all used up too.

However, we have to settle
this one way or another.

Of course we do!

All right...

We'll settle this with
a knife-edge death match!

A knife-edge... death match?

A knife-edge death match?

What's that?

A knife-edge death match...

What in the world is that?

You know, during my reign
at Sarayashiki Middle,

I've gone through all sorts
of scuffles and fights,

but I've never seen or
heard anything about this.

Maybe they're going to
fight with those knives.

How can this be?

Are they still going to fight?

That would have to be so, wouldn't it?

It hasn't been brought to
a conclusion yet, after all.

They've already fought so much,

they should be able to end
it in a tie, shouldn't they?

Wouldn't that be good
enough for them already?

This is a fight between men,
and they just can't do that.

The rule is that,
whether hatchets or axes,

you can employ any weapon
that you can handle.

But how are they going
to use those two knives?

Oh! Contestant Chu, what could
you possibly be planning?

He has driven both knives
into the floor!

You place your right foot
in front of the knife, see?

What in the world is he going to do?!

That knife is the boundary
line between life and death.

The only rule here is
not to go past that line.

In the event that you do,
you pay for it by dying.

In short, neither one of us
can take a step backward.

The only thing you
can use is your body.

Whoever clobbers the other wins.

Nice.

U-Um, even if you establish
such irregular rules on your own,

unless we get the tournament's
head office to consent to them...

Sweetheart, shut your mouth!

Yeah, yeah! We all want
to see that kid get k*lled!

Let them go until the kid is dead!

A knife-edge death match!
Chu's invincible way of dueling!

Once they take it to
fist fighting, he's all ours!

Hey, does Urameshi have enough power
left in him to stand up to a fistfight?

Good question! He's used
up all his Reiki and all...

It's hopeless...

No. Chu has also used up all of his power.

The more it comes down
to a simple fistfight,

the more those involved will have
their emotional strength put to the test.

So that's it!

Urameshi! Show him how
deep your spirit runs!

ROKUYUKAI TEAM: CHU
URAMESHI TEAM: URAMESHI

Idiots! What is the tournament
head office thinking?!

I'll go too.

No, I'm fine by myself.

More importantly, haven't your
pals shown their faces yet?

Well, we'll see about that.

We ask you to please be quiet!

The decision of the tournament's
head office is final!

One moment, please!

The tournament's head office is currently
considering changing their decision.

This is eerie. Unpleasant dark clouds
have started hanging low over us.

Could this be what is
meant by the expression,

"Threatening skies portend danger?"

Hurry it up! Hurry it up!
Hurry it up! Hurry it up!

Hurry it up! Hurry it up!

Please, wait just a little while longer!

Please wait! Please wait!

The decision of the tournament's
head office has turned to "Okay!"

Oh, my!

At the same time the decision was made,
a fierce exchange of blows began!

I sure hope he does well!

Might Yusuke use the secret techniques
that he learned from Master Genkai,

like you spoke of, Koenma-sama?

Nope.

I hear that it takes an incredible amount
of energy to use those techniques!

Yusuke probably doesn't
have that kind of power left.

Besides, having come to this point,

there's no use talking about
techniques and whatnot!

I-It's an incredible exchange of blows!

Neither of them have moved their feet,

and they're hitting each
other without blocking!

Oh, they still have that much power?

Chu, go get him!

What are you doing?!

You can't go any further
without a special permit!

Why, you...!

Karasu, huh? It's still a long,
long time before your turn.

Oh no, I just heard that there
was someone decent here.

You mean Urameshi?

I was wondering what kind of guy he was.

He's fighting now.

Yeah, I saw him.

So, any impressions?

All right! You've got him!

Incredible! Both of them are
cutting flesh and carving bone!

No one is taking one
step back from this fight!

I see them! I can see them!

Urameshi and Chu, fist fighting
as if they were on a sheer cliff!

They're both fighting
with their lives at stake!

Just watching them makes me tremble!

I can't watch anymore!

Keiko-chan...

If they keep it up like this,
Yusuke is going to die!

Well, he's already died once...

Shizuru-san!

Sorry, sorry!

I have to stop this!

Keiko-chan! Where are you going?!

Keiko-chan!

Keiko-chan, of all the...

It's a human!

It's dangerous to be
walking around alone, missy!

Come on!

This way! Hurry!

Are you... human?

Be careful. This is the Yokai's world.

Keiko-chan!

Please! Please, I'm asking
you to make them stop!

Make them stop, you say?

He's going to die!
Yusuke's going to die!

We can't very well do that!

Why?!

Me and Urameshi have come
across one extraordinary foe.

He's exceptionally strong, and we
were completely powerless before him.

...when I fought you, I was at
about 20 percent of my power!

And now, this...

In order to clear ourselves
of that humiliation,

and to fight earnestly
against him once again,

both me and Urameshi have to
fight with our lives on the line.

I-It can't be...

To that end, Urameshi will
do whatever he has to.

This fight is just one step he has
to take in order to arrive there.

On top of that, Urameshi is
also fighting for his opponent.

For his opponent?

That's right. In combat sports,

once you fight your opponent,
you learn everything about him.

And not just his power and techniques,

but the whole of the
opponent's character.

And so, the person who knows
Chu best right now is Urameshi.

It looks as though Urameshi
has really taken a liking to Chu.

Watching the way they fight,
it's easy to tell.

In order to pay your opponent back,

there's nothing you can do
but expend all of your power.

That's why,

there's no way we can stop them
until a decision has been reached.

Yusuke...

How long are they planning on going?!
This isn't going to end!

No, both of them are looking
for their opportunity.

If they show an opening,
this match will be over in an instant.

All right! This is Chu's pace!

After all, Chu has an invincible weapon!

He's just looking for
the right time to use it!

Now!

Take this!!

There it is! Chu's head-butt!
This will decide it!

1...

2...

He did it!

Urameshi got the angle in on him!

The suicide head-butt is
one of Urameshi's ace cards!

It can't be beaten by any opponent!

7...

You're one nasty b*stard!
Even our ace cards were the same!

9...

10!!

The winner is Urameshi!
Three to one, the Urameshi Team wins!

Hey, Urameshi! Are you okay?!

All right! We've broken
through the first round!

They finally won!

Still, it was an incredible fight!

Completely! Just watching it made
me tremble! My body can't take this!

Th-They lost!

My Rokuyukai Team,
who I spent all my assets on...

Well, you let me
watch something good.

Chu!

Good grief, he's gone completely down!

He smashed up the
slate tile. Unbelievable!

To think that there was a punk alive
that could beat Chu's iron head!

Urameshi...

I lost the death match.

Finish me off.

Once you're feeling better,
we'll do it again!

U-Urameshi...

Dammit! You guys are nothing but talk!

And here we were cheering for you!

You cowards! Die, you beaten dogs!

You call yourselves Rokuyukai?
Don't make us laugh!

Give me back my stake,
you stupid b*stards!

You're good for nothing! Go to hell!

What selfish jerks!

And after everything they
put into it up until now!

Go ahead and shout if you like!

You guys are still too
scared to come down here!

Shut up!!

Stop your complaining and
come on down here! Come on!

If you've got anything to say,
I'll take you on!

I'll beat you through and through!

Urameshi... Yusuke...

Karasu, what do you think
of Urameshi Yusuke?

Soon, he will be our
opponent in battle.

Can he win his way that far though?

Toguro!

Somehow or other, Yusuke and the others
managed to survive the first round.

However, this has only been
the prologue to fiercer battles.

Following a life-and-death confrontation,
we take a short break until our next battles.

However, we can't get sloppy!

At last, Toguro makes his appearance.

We're going to take a good,
long look at your abilities!

What kind of guy is this?!
He's so strong it's ridiculous!

Next time, "Clash!
The Best Eight Are Decided."

The Other World's
not watching for nothing!
