01x46 - Senritsu! Kuromomotaro no Henshin

[bunniefuu]

During the semifinals
of the Dark Tournament,

Hiei is fighting consecutively.

After having defeated Makintaro,
he came to fight against Kuromomotaro.

However, through the use of his Items
of Darkness, his millet dumplings,

Kuromomotaro kept overcoming
Hiei's techniques!

Having lost his strength,

Hiei was unable to use his greatest
secret technique, the Kokuryu-ha.

What will you do, Hiei?

"Tremble! Kuromomotaro's Transformation."

Your Ensatsu-ken can no longer hurt me!

Buju Soko No. 2, Machi no So!!

Contestant Kuromomotaro
has transformed once again!

Both his Yoki and his form have grown
even more ominous and powerful!

W-What kind of guy is this?
He keeps versioning himself up!

This is bad!

Do you think your bluffs will work on me?

Care to try me out?

Take this!

Dammit!

Trying to deceive my eyes, are you?

There you are!

Jao ensatsu rengoku-sho!!

Take this!

What?!

He really has been reinforced!

Speed! Offensive power! You are
no longer a match for me in anything!

G-Get all pleased with yourself, will you?

To think that he's even faster than Hiei!

What a b*stard!

Contestant Hiei can do utterly nothing
to stand up to Contestant Kuromomotaro!

Is that going to be all for this match?

H-Hiei!

Hey! Isn't there any way
Hiei can beat Kuromomotaro?!

Let me see...

I don't know!

It seems that just thinking
about it won't do anything.

I sure do hate folks
who pretend to think!!

He's winning!

Neither blades nor Ensatsu-ken techniques
work against Kuromomotaro anymore!

He can use up to three dumplings in
one fight... monkey, pheasant, and dog.

Most opponents' powers get
taken up on the first dumpling.

Which means that this guy's
are something else,

just to be able to make him
use a second dumpling.

In his current form,
having used the second one,

he could k*ll him without haste.

However, it's best to k*ll him
by ripping him into strips now,

before he is given any time
to think of some dirty little trick.

It must be awful, not being able to use your
finishing technique, the Kokuryu-ha, right?

But even so, I'm not going to hold back.

I'm going to take extra
special care to k*ll you!

I will use my final dumpling!

Once again, Contestant Kuromomotaro
is going to transform!

This places Contestant Hiei
in a terrific pinch!

Are you okay, Puu-chan?

What's the matter with Puu-chan?

I'm not sure, but he's been
in pain for several hours now.

You don't suppose that something
has happened to Yusuke?

To be honest, it is ten years too
soon for you to be accepting this.

The successor is examined
by his own mind and body

as to whether or not they
are to be the true successor.

If your body is not up to the task
of accepting this Reikogyoku,

then it will be torn apart!

Overcome it, Yusuke! You are not alone!

Do not forget that.

Buju Soko No. 3, Maken no So!!

My offensive capability has
now gone up even higher!

I will use my fangs and claws
to tear your body up like rags!

You evaded that by a hair's breadth!
But will you be so lucky this time?

This is bad! He's completely
backed into a corner!

H-He's done for!

Well, well...

What's the matter? Have you given up?

I never thought I would
have to use this technique...

You can just cut out your
worthless psychological warfare.

You're just talking as if
you had some great technique

to try to make me worry,
but it's not going to work!

No. It's a crude technique

that bears such an unpleasant image
I'd seriously rather not have to do it.

A technique so terrible that
even Hiei is hesitant to use it?

What the hell kind of technique
is he planning on using?

Those will be your
last words in this world!

Such lackluster words they are, too!

Die!!

What?!

What?

I-Impossible!

Is that...?

Jao ensatsu-ken!!

A-Awesome!

A sword of flame...

But that isn't any ordinary flame!
He has mingled his own Yoki with the flame,

instantly making it sharp enough to slice
through Kuromomotaro's toughened body!

Kuromomotaro was dead
before he even reached Hiei.

What a fighting sense he has!

It looked a lot like my own Rei-ken,

but the power it put out was
so strong, there is no comparison.

Hey! Look here, you!

Are you saying that my Rei-ken is
crude and bears an unpleasant image?!

Could I have meant anything else?

Why, you b*stard!

Judging Contestant Kuromomotaro
to be unable to fight,

the victory goes to Contestant Hiei!

Dammit! He was so close, too!

What's the matter?! Isn't there
anyone who can beat that runt?!

Fighting tooth and nail, Contestant Hiei
comes from behind to win!

Just as we figured. His wound is deep!

Botan-san, you're really sure
it's this way?

If we don't hurry, we won't be
in time to see Kazuma-san's match.

They've gone and made it to the
blood-boiling, heart-pounding semifinals.

If we're late, we'll regret it
for the rest of our lives.

Leave it to me! This way, this way!

We've already passed there.

Then, we have been walking around
the same place for some time after all.

Botan-san! You're the one who told us
to leave the shortcuts up to you!

That's strange. The forests
around here are awfully complex.

All right, we've had enough of this.

If we want to hurry, it seems
best to go back to the hotel.

Let's do that then, after all.

Dammit! I won't give in!

Now then, roll the dice.
Bring me up again.

Don't bring me up yet! I'm going last!
After all, I'm fronting as the captain here!

Be me!

Be me!

Don't be me!

KURAMA / URAURASHIMA

All right!

All right!

Sheesh!

The contestants appearing in
the third match have been decided!

For the Urameshi Team,
Contestant Kurama!

For the Uraotogi Team,
Contestant Uraurashima!

The luck of the dice
sure is a funny thing.

It's as if everything is
coming up in our favor.

The previous two were
no more than sacrificial pawns.

And, as we expected,
Hiei has been seriously injured.

And now Uraurashima...

He's the most ideal man for
the job of defeating Kurama.

Match number 3, Kurama
versus Uraurashima! Begin!

Oh, my! It appears that both
contestants are using similar weapons!

This looks like it's going to be a contest
of whose proficiency is greater...

of whose technique is more polished!

Th-This is an incredible
exchange of attacks!

There is even a wall of sparks
visible between the two contestants!

A-Awesome!

Geez, what is Kurama playing around for?!

What? How do you mean?

Just what you're seeing.

It's a bad habit of his.

He can't decide on a method of attack until
he has determined his opponent's nature.

Strange. It looks as though
he's not serious about this.

Keep attacking while
you listen to me, please!

I have a favor to ask of you.

A favor?!

I... I want you to k*ll me.

Keep attacking!

What do you mean?

We exist as figures born of evil thoughts
toward nursery tale characters.

We were intended to take
vengeance upon those who,

in the name of right and morality,

closed their eyes to all our little
inconsistencies, and discarded us.

You must know of the story
of Urashima Taro, right?

Why was he given a treasure box
that he was not allowed to open?

Why was that treasure box
his reward for rescuing the turtle?

So those questions and complaints

became the distracting thoughts
from which you were born?

That's right. But I've given
up taking revenge. Right now,

I can no longer go along with the way
Shishiwakamaru and the others think.

Humans learn all kinds of
things by reading our stories.

That is where our role ends.

In the next moment when I go after you,
I'm going to lose my balance.

That will be my signal.
Please, k*ll me and get it over with!

Understood.

But I'm not going to k*ll you.

What?!

Even though your reason for existence
has changed, you can still live on.

I'm a good example of that.

You sure are kind.

Now!

All right!

What?!

Kurama!

-He's down!
-All right!

To think you would
trust me as easily as that!

Your good-naturedness
will prove fatal, you big dimwit!

For someone as sharp as you are, you're
remarkably susceptible to tears, huh?

Those of us on the Uraotogi Team,
who were born from evil thoughts,

would never think of mending our ways!

Now I'm going to take
my time as I t*rture you!

Looks like you finally
figured it out, huh?

All of those attacks up to now
weren't in order to defeat you...

They were to seal you up
inside this barrier!

When did he manage this?!

Incredibly, the ring has been encircled
by threads, and has been roped off!

Using a powerful enough
spectral implement,

even I can create a barrier
as strong as Periphery Master Ruka's.

Now then, you can
no longer run anywhere!

Uraotogi Yami Item of Darkness:
Gyaku-tamatebako!!

REVERSE TREASURE BOX

In the story, when the main character
opened the box, he got older, right?

This does the opposite,
and makes you younger.

Everyone besides me, that is.

I hate those of you who are taller
and better-looking than me!

I'm going to return you to an age
even before you were a baby!

Then I'll beat you to death!

W-What's this?

The smoke... Why is it
only covering the ring?!

Those threads are creating a barrier!

What's going on?! I can't see, you know!

Dammit, not being able to see
makes me want to see even more!

Absolutely!

I can feel it! I can feel it!
Your Yoki is rapidly growing weaker!

I've done it! His Yoki is all...

That's strange. His Yoki
has completely vanished.

What's that?!

What is it? What is this terrifying Yoki?

I-I'm sure I sent him back
to before he was a baby...

I never thought...

the day would come when I
would return to this form again...

To my Yoko fox form...

Y-Yoko?! Th-Then you're...

the legendary Yokai, Yoko Kurama?!

Now then, it's time for spankings.

Your offense in angering me
is a serious one.

Kurama displays an unexpected identity!
Just how powerful is Kurama as a Yoko?

That Uraurashima guy seems to be
pretty bad, but it looks like this time,

his opponent is just a little
bit too much for him, huh?

It might have been okay to try
that Reverse Treasure Box

on regular folks, but to use it on Kurama?

This just reeks of danger!

Next time,
"The Legendary Thief! Yoko Kurama."

I am phenomenal in the
Other World for something!
