01x40 - Kazetsukai Jin! Arashi no Kuchusen

[bunniefuu]

In an elimination round
against the Mashotsukai Team,

the Urameshi Team has the disadvantage of not
having Kuwabara, Hiei, or the Masked Warrior.

Kurama fought desperately to defeat
the first challenger, Gama,

and the second challenger, Toya.

However, by that time, Kurama
had also become heavily injured,

leaving Yusuke all alone.

First, he defeated the middle challenger,
Bakuken, all at once!

And now, he must face a mighty
opponent in the wind-tamer, Jin!

"Jin, the Wind-tamer!
A Stormy Air Battle."

Such a nice island.

I'm going to make sure I get this island!

Why, you...! Get the hell down here!

I will, to knock you flat!

Come on!

Contestant Jin comes rushing
in with a vertical descent!

Oh, my! Incredibly, he turned in mid-air!

Contestant Jin, the Wind-tamer,

lands the first attack using
his amazing aerial technique!

That guy tried to get in a knee-kick
while he was off-balance!

That was an awesome punch!

Looks like I'm going to fully enjoy this!

After trying to attack from
an overwhelmingly off-balance position,

Contestant Urameshi has taken considerable
damage but has gotten back up!

For you to try to strike back even as you
were bein' hit... You're one crafty guy!

Look at this! My ears are stickin'
up this much, I'm so happy!

Your punch landed pretty hard, too.

I'm gonna have to hike up my pants again!

What's that all about?
Yusuke is smiling!

He must have come to like
that Jin guy an awful lot.

Urameshi is the type where
the stronger his opponent is,

the more fired up he gets, you know?
It's a sort of perversion.

There, look at him!
Look at that happy face!

I just don't get it!

Oh, are you in pain? Are you okay?

Yeah... so long as I can
sit still for a little while...

Jin, the Wind-tamer, huh?
He seems pretty tough!

We'll have to gird
our loins against him...

Still, he's not being fair!

With him flying around in the air,
there's no way to catch him!

That's certainly true.

However, he's flying under the control
of his own spectral power,

so it's not against the rules.

Even so, between the air and the ground,
Yusuke is clearly at a disadvantage!

What can he do?

You've got a point...

It's still a little bit early to be
commendin' me after just that!

A-Amazingly, Contestant Jin has
created a tornado with his own arm!

Shura sempu-ken!!

SHURA SEMPU-KEN:
ASURA WHIRLWIND FIST

That tornado has a lot more
force to it than meets the eye.

Here goes!

It just grazed me,
and I still went flying!

What would've happened
if I'd taken it full-on?!

Will Contestant Urameshi
crash into the wall?!

Oh, my! He skillfully managed
to land and avoid crashing!

B-But Contestant Jin
is chasing after him!

W-What incredible destructive force!

Contestant Jin has smashed
a portion of the wall to pieces!

W-W-What?!

Gulp!

Incredible!

Damn! If Urameshi had taken
that whirlwind fist head-on,

then no matter how tough he is,
he'd be finished in one blow!

Damn!

It's been a long time since I've
had an opponent worth beating!

You punk!

The Mashotsukai Team has
this as good as won now!

There's nobody that can stand up to Jin!

What do you think, Sakyo-san?
How about betting on my team?

There's still time, isn't there?

No, I will abstain.

Pretty cautious for someone
so daring, Sakyo-san.

We won't know who wins
the match until it is over.

Well, that is true enough.

There's no way Jin can lose!
You just don't get it!

I sure do envy him, being able
to create wind on his own.

You envy him?

After all, you wouldn't
need any electric fans, right?

Or paper fans,
or folding fans, or coolers...

I can't tell if he's smart or dumb...

Now then, both contestants have returned
to the ring, and the match continues!

Go, Jin! We're counting on you!

I'm gettin' a good response!

No, you don't!

You punk!

F-Forgive me! They're moving
too fast for me to see!

There's no way that I can
offer any play-by-play like this!

Tell me, can you see them?

Y-Yeah, barely...

What's happening?

What? Well... see...

They're exchanging punches, is what!

Really?

I think so.

Yusuke has a slight edge in speed.
However, Jin has his wind...

Now's my chance!

Dammit! Not up again!

Contestant Jin, perhaps thinking
himself at a disadvantage,

has escaped into the air!

Say there, something has been
bothering me for a little while!

What is that?

That's a ringout, isn't it?
Why don't you give him a count?

According to the rules, a count is
only given if part of someone's body

touches someplace outside of the ring.

As such, being in mid-air is not out
of bounds, and a count is not given.

What do you mean by that?!

Yeesh!

Which means if the fight
is going against him,

he can escape into the air
whenever he wants?!

I get it now. With a punch like that,

it's no wonder Bakuken
couldn't stand up to him!

First thing to do is come up with
another strategy while I'm here...

All right!

Way to go!

He's all ours!

I-It can't be!

Jin flees into the air
and lets his guard down,

and now, here comes
Contestant Urameshi's Rei-g*n!

Has it caught him?!

Oh, my! Even the great Contestant Jin
was caught unprepared for this!

Can he avoid it?

You're mine!

Bakufu shoheki!!

What?!

Whew, that was close, that was close!

H-He used the wind, no, a tornado
to change the direction of the Rei-g*n!

Such fierce wind power!
What a fearsome master of the wind!

I've got an armor of wind protectin' me!

There's absolutely no way
you can hit me with your Rei-g*n!

Damn!

All right! Way to go!

Not even Urameshi's eminent
Rei-g*n is any use against Jin!

This makes Urameshi's defeat certain!

And since he's the only one left,
that means the Urameshi Team has lost!

All right! Go, Jin!

Jin... Jin... Jin... Jin...

Not again! Hold it down, hold it down!

What is all this?

Not even Yusuke-kun can handle this.

Wind has that much power to it, does it?

Well after all, the wind can blow whole
houses away, let alone people or cars.

Even trees this big can be snapped
in an instant by a sudden gust!

That's right, isn't it?

He can easily command wind
with that much power at will.

That is one terrifying guy there.

If Yusuke can't use his Rei-g*n,
then that cuts his power in half!

His firearms aren't any use, huh?

In that case, all that's left for him
is hand-to-hand fighting!

In which event, Jin will just bombard him
with that whirlwind fist of his, won't he?!

Th-That's right...

What do we do?!
What are we supposed to do?!

There's nothing to get
upset at me over, right?

It's not as though his
Rei-g*n is of utterly no use.

There is still one way to hit him.

It is an awfully risky gamble, though.

Yusuke has to have realized it.

The more dangerous the gamble, the more
that b*stard likes taking them, after all.

Okay then, how about we
get around to finishin' this?

Here it comes!
The Shura sempu-ken technique!

This time, Contestant Jin
will be attacking from the air!

Here goes!

It looks as though that's
the only thing I can do...

Contestant Jin enters a nosedive!

Oh, my! Contestant
Urameshi is not flinching!

D-Don't tell me you're giving in!

Y-Yusuke!

Urameshi!

He's going to do it.

Y-You don't mean to...!

That's it! The instant he
puts forth his whirlwind fist...

He has to take that moment

to come in direct contact with
his opponent and fire his Rei-g*n!

Now then, which one of us is tougher?

Rei-g*n!!

Indeed, a risky gamble.

W-What happened?

That's still not entirely...

Ups-a-daisy...

I can't see either contestant!
Where could they have gone?!

It appears that they were both blown away
by the fierce collision of their powers!

Yow!

Ah! Contestant Urameshi
has been thrown out of the ring!

Elsewhere, Contestant Jin...

He's above us! He's up in the sky!

That was close, that was close!

If that'd been a direct hit,
it would've been trouble!

Geez, I blew it!

He's pretty tough, huh?

How come I didn't hit him?

The instant your Rei-g*n struck his
whirlwind fist, rather than try to escape,

he turned so that his gusts
formed an upward current.

By changing the direction
of the shockwave,

he kept the damage to a minimum.

Damn, what a punk!

Jin appears to have seen many battles.

He's got a lot more experience than you.

Is there any way you can win?

That goes without saying!

There's no way!

Is that anything to say so confidently?

We won't know who has won
the match until it's over!

I don't care which one
of you wins or loses.

I'm getting sick of just standing here.

I'm telling you right now,
if you lose, I'm going next.

According to the rules, once a contestant
has been judged to be unable to appear,

they cannot participate.

To hell with the rules.

I'll k*ll anyone that has
anything to say about it.

I'll k*ll you all!

It looks as though Hiei
has recovered considerably.

4...

5... 6...

7...

Contestant Urameshi has returned
to the ring on the count of seven.

Leave this to me! I'll settle this
cleanly on the next attempt!

Aren't you actin' tough?

After I think up what to do next,
you won't be able to beat me!

We'll just see about that!

Awright, here goes!

Fight!

Rei-g*n blockade, second wave!

This time, Contestant Jin has created
tornadoes on both of his arms!

Damn! If he comes at me with
whirlwind fists on both arms,

I can't possibly match up
against him with my Rei-g*n,

which I can only sh**t
from my right hand, can I?!

At two against one, things are
completely going against him!

Even a little kid can figure that out!

What do I do?

What should I do?

At this point, I have no choice!

W-What could this stance mean?
I've never seen this before!

He's planning on doing that technique?!

In contrast to the Rei-g*n, which focuses
Reiki into a point on the fingertip,

this technique has to raise the entire
body's Reiki to its full power.

He's already shot his Rei-g*n
three times today,

so he can only use this technique once,
since it's based on the same principle.

What's more, it places a whole
different kind of burden upon the body!

Even though this may be the only
possible way he can win against Jin,

he's still a gambler through and through.

That stance!

Koenma-sama, do you know what it is?

N-No. Even if he used his Shotgun,
Jin's wind would just deflect it.

What could he be planning to do?

It's still an incredible amount of Reiki.

That miserable Yusuke! To think
that he has leveled up this much!

No matter what technique he may use,
it's obvious that Jin is going to win!

What the hell is Urameshi planning to do?

Who knows...

He...

We'll just have to trust Yusuke!

Awesome! His whole body is brimmin'
with the power of a typhoon!

This is gonna be fun!

Let's fight!

Just what kind of technique is Yusuke
going to produce from this stance?

And will it be of any use
against Jin's whirlwind fists?

The moment of decision has come!

Impressive! Not even my full-body
punch or my Rei-g*n work against Jin!

It's no use! This is my final option!
It's one dicey gamble...

But it's the only technique
that will beat him!

Jin! Let's fight this out! I'm going
to show you my ace-in-the-hole!

Next time, "Reikodan!
An Unexpected Conclusion?!"

The Other World's
not watching for nothing!
