01x42 - Kesshi no Kuwabara! Ai no Totsugeki

[bunniefuu]

Having broken through Jin the Wind-tamer's
Shura sempu-ken technique,

it appeared as though Yusuke
had won a brilliant victory.

However, thanks to some
underhanded maneuvering

by Butajiri and
the tournament's head office,

the decision came down that both
contestants had gotten a ringout.

The Urameshi Team was
about to be declared the loser.

However, at that moment,

despite being wounded all over,
Kuwabara stepped forward!

The contest has been
committed to Kuwabara.

What a mess this is! They're finally
down to just one person each!

Don't you lose to him, Risho!

Pound that die-hard right down to hell!

This is crazy!

It has to be all Kuwabara-kun
can manage just to stand up!

K-Kuwabara!

It'll be an easy victory against this guy who
doesn't know when to die! I can relax for now.

Contestant Kuwabara has long been
waiting in preparation for his appearance!

Um, is there something wrong?

What was that?!

Ring sweetheart, he's down!

But we still haven't...

Hmph, this is ridiculous.

What?!

That sure is one tough b*stard!

This is an important task that
doesn't come my way very often.

I'm a lucky man to be out here.

There's something wrong with your head.
Is this how badly you want to die?

Try to k*ll me, then. I'm tough!

And so, neither side is giving in!

The winner of this match
will advance to the semifinals!

Give it everything, Kuwabara!

Blow him away, together with
that dirty tournament head office!

Say whatever you like, we are
the rules of this tournament!

And now, Match 6!
Kuwabara, of the Urameshi Team!

Risho, of the Mashotsukai Team!

Begin!

Well, come on!

I don't need you to tell me!

Oh, my! Contestant Kuwabara
immediately charges!

Rei-ken!!

What?!

Contestant Risho lands a powerful blow!

The difference in power
between the two is evident!

I-Impossible!

I-I can't produce my sword! My Rei-ken!

W-What did you say?!

What do you mean, we can't go in?!

Anybody that's gone out don't
get to keep their seats no more!

But I told you, we have
our stubs right here! See?

Kuwabara-kun is up now!
Please, let us through!

Shut up, you! That only
goes if you're a Yokai-sama!

You gutter-reeking
humans can't come in!

Only really rich humans can come in here!

Hmm? You're a Yokai, aren't you?

I can't tell what you are.

Just leave it alone!

Well, if you humans that don't got
any money simply have to get in...

I wouldn't mind considering it,
if you were to service me!

Who the hell do you think
you are, you son of a b*tch?!

Come on, Yukina-chan,
let's go, let's go!

Um, are you sure this is all right?

What's wrong with it?

I'm out of practice.

Stop! Forgive me!

Yikes! Shizuru-san, quickly, quickly!

Hold it! Hold it!

Hold it!

We'll be caught at this rate!

You four there, hold up!

Uh-oh!

Koenma-sama!

Contestant Kuwabara is being
hammered with punches!

Can he no longer fight back?

Hey, this is pretty pathetic for someone
who came out here to look cool!

Pardon me! I will
continue my play-by-play!

Kuwabara! Show some tenacity! Tenacity!

That's not possible!

It's almost miraculous that he
can endure that as*ault as it is!

I cannot maintain the barrier any longer!

Not even I, with my defensive capabilities
foremost in the Demon Realm!

You're planning on springing out of here
the instant Kuwabara is beaten, huh?

If you're thinking of getting in my way,

I'll show you no mercy, either.
What are you going to do?

Well now, what will I do, indeed?

Damn!

Why?! Why doesn't my Rei-ken emerge?

Your body is being forthright, indeed!

Let me tell you the reason why
you can't produce your sword!

What?!

Your injuries are so severe that
if you were any normal human,

you'd already be long dead!

Your body is doing everything
it can just to recover!

There's no way you can take me on!

He's down! Contestant Kuwabara is down!

That will teach you to keep your place!

Butajiri-san...

Oh, Sakyo-san.
And Toguro is with you, too.

I will make sure that my team
remains until the finals!

You'll do anything it
takes in order to win.

That's quite an attitude to take.

However, you are
lacking in your aesthetics.

It is precisely because the strong
smash the weak with all of their might

that the fights are entertaining.

You would throw cold water on
these games... and I will not accept that.

In deference to your life,

I will allow that this match alone
be played according to your rules.

If the Urameshi Team
is defeated by this...

...then there's no reason
for us to fight them.

7... 8... 9...

Not yet!

Contestant Kuwabara
displays his mettle!

He is standing on his
mettle and willpower alone!

You know something? I cannot
stand how resilient you are!

I told you, I'm tough!

Fine! Before you go over to the
Other World, I'll show you this!

Contestant Risho has stepped
out of the ring on his own!

What in the world is he planning to do?

Watch very carefully! This is Risho
the Earth-charmer's ultimate technique!

What's this?!

An earthquake?!

What's that?!

Amazingly, the dirt and rocks outside
the ring are surrounding Contestant Risho!

W-What?!

Tremble in terror!
This is my ultimate technique!

Shura nendo toi!!

SHURA NENDO TOI:
ASURA CONJURED EARTH ARMOR

This is my ultimate technique!
Shura nendo toi!!

Now then, take this!

My finishing b*mber Tackle!!

Kuwabara!

He connected!

Contestant Risho's b*mber Tackle has
scored a hit on Contestant Kuwabara!

However, Contestant Risho himself
also crashed into the slate!

Oh, my! Contestant Risho is unharmed!

Contestant Kuwabara is down!

I will take the count!

1...

2...

3... 4... 5...

6...

7...

Oh, dear! Contestant Kuwabara
is getting up on willpower!

However, he is running ragged!

Kazuma-san!

Please, can't you let
us through, guard-san?

We're with one of the people
appearing in this match!

No way! You've been caught in the act of
unlawful entry and assaulting an attendant!

Isn't there anything we can...?

We're taking you in!

Once the matches are over, we will conduct
a thorough investigation! Now, come--

Yukina-chan, hurry!

Hold it!

Oh, dear! Contestant Risho
has once again jumped up!

You mustn't come!

Please, stop!

Please!

No!!

-Hold it!
-Hold it there!

Go.

Hey you, hold it!

Is something the matter?
This woman is an acquaintance of mine.

Oh, no, Sakyo-sama!

Excuse us.

We meet again.

So it would seem.

Contestant Kuwabara is getting up!

After having taken that great an as*ault,
what incredible strength of will!

W-Why?!

Why are you getting up?!

Because I... Because I don't
want to lose, of course!

This is for Kurama and Urameshi as well,
who also fought desperately!

I can't allow their fighting
to be for nothing!

He's planning on dying.

Way to get back up, Kuwabara!

I-Incredible! Where could he be
finding that much remaining power?

It's the same method that
Yusuke used previously.

Have you forgotten?
When Yusuke was fighting Suzaku...

Yusuke had used up all
of his spiritual power,

and as a last resort, he started
burning his own life force!

You mean, Kuwabara is also
burning his own life force?!

B-But, if he does that,
he'll die for sure, won't he?

This is the only means that he has left.

You are a fool!
If you had just stayed down,

you would have at least
had an easier death!

I ain't gonna die! Not alone, that is!
I'm taking you with me!

What?!

If this ends in a draw,
there will be a play-off match...

If that happens, then Urameshi
will settle everything for sure!

Hiei, you may have provoked me,
but you are strong! Truly so!

I'll be improving my skills and
waiting for you in the Other World.

Kurama, I was able to come this far
thanks to your special training.

Thank you, man.

Mask, this tournament is supposed
to have been the first place we met,

but somehow, I get the feeling
that we knew each other before...

Urameshi...

The rest... I leave to you.

Kuwabara!

Urameshi, watch closely the way
Kuwabara the man now dies!

Brace yourself!

Oh, my! Contestant Risho has
once again leapt into the air!

You're the one who
should brace yourself!

Ah! Contestant Kuwabara
rushes forward as well!

b*mber Tackle!!

Kuwabara!!

Dammit! Before biting the dust,
I wish I'd had one last time...

Yukina-san, forgive me!

I had intended to watch over
you for the rest of your life...

Kazuma-san!

That voice!

Y-Yukina-san!

What the hell are you looking at?!

You stay out of this!!

Oh, my! Contestant Kuwabara has
suddenly hurled Contestant Risho aside!

Where in the world did he find
any power left to do that?!

Yukina-san! You're here for me?!

Kazuma-san, are you all right?

I'm completely fine!

What is up with that?!

Ah! Apparently... Is that his girlfriend
that has come into the stadium?

Contestant Kuwabara is in high spirits!

Why, you...!

Yukina-san, just by looking at you...

I get this fired up!

Die!!

Oh, my! They're fighting out of
the ring! I will start the count!

I can use it! I can use my Rei-ken!

b*mber Tackle!!

Rei-ken!!

W-What?!

Drop dead!!

5... 6...

7... 8...

9... 10!!

The winner is Kuwabara!

Accordingly, it is decided that the Urameshi
Team will advance to the semifinals!

Impossible!

Yukina!

You did it!

Dumbass! I'm injured, here!

It's no good... I'm getting dizzy...

Hey...

What do you think, Toguro?
Are they worthy opponents?

Well, we'll have to see.

Yeah, it's all talent, you know, talent!

I am the Urameshi Team's
key man, after all!

Even so, I can't believe it!
Your wounds are closing up so quickly!

What's more, your temperature
seems to be rising steadily.

Th-That is the power of love!

I guess so.

With Yukina-san here, I am invulnerable!

I'm not sure what he means...

Hey, how come you haven't
shown your face around me?

I figured...

it wouldn't be right for me to disturb you
and become a distraction...

That just sounds creepy coming
from you! You ain't that kind of girl!

W-What do you mean?!
How dare you, you idiot?!

Idiot?! Whoa, are you talking about me?!

Oh, forgive me! I forgot to
say "big" before "idiot"!

-What did you say?!
-Whatever!

After a long time apart, the two
have set each other off, indeed.

By the way, I go without seeing
you for a while, and before long...

How shall I say...
this part right here...?

It's filling out rather astoundingly, huh?

That does it!

I can't watch!

Yow! There it is, there it is!

A force even stronger than Jin's punch!

Idiot!

Yusuke...

I won't have you losing, okay? Bang!

Yusuke and the others narrowly
beat the Mashotsukai Team.

However, there are still many other
powerful players left in the tournament.

And so, what sort of team,
using what kind of techniques,

will they be facing next?

At last, it's the semifinals!

Hey, tournament headquarters,

don't go sending us any
more cowardly teams!

Fighting against them would
just be a waste of our time!

Let us fight the Toguro Team
right away instead!

Right? That's what you're
thinking too, isn't it?

Huh? What are you making
that dreadful face for?

Next time, "The Masked
Warrior's Stern Face."

Who are you, really?
