01x48 - Yami Aitemu · Shide no Hagoromo

[bunniefuu]

Having judged that
in his current condition

Yusuke would be unable to defeat
his greatest enemy, Toguro,

Genkai presented him with the final trial
to assume the Reikogyoku,

the greatest, innermost secret
of the Reikohado-ken techniques.

At the same time, the semifinals
were progressing at a rapid pace.

Hiei and Kurama survived their battles,

and finally, Kuwabara stepped forward
to face his opponent, Shishiwakamaru.

"Item of Darkness: The Mantle of Death."

Ba-san...

Get this guy taken care of for me.

It looks like you've made
the Reikogyoku your own, huh?

Yeah...

Pain, you are in my way! Move it!!

You've endured all of that pain.
You must not have any strength left.

You stuck it out well, too, didn't you?

When Yusuke wakes up,
you should be better as well.

Sleep well now. Your real battle
begins when you wake up again.

How handsome!

Waka-sama, good luck!

Smash the Urameshi Team for us!

It's unfortunate that you
should have to go against me.

I'm going to fillet you
like you were sashimi!

No!

If you so much as scratch
Waka-sama, you're going to pay!

You're pretty sassy for a human!

Yap, yap, yap, yap!
Shut up, you playgirls!

I'll settle this in a matter of moments.

It's hard for me to look
at your face for too long.

Why, you...! I'm gonna take your
pretty-boy-of-the-century looks

and hack them up!

And so, the fourth match,
Shishiwakamaru versus Kuwabara! Begin!

As long as Yukina-san is watching over
me somewhere in this arena, I will win!

Huh?

What's going on?

Could we have been
wrong about the time?

No, that much at least I remember!
Today at 3 o'clock sharp!

Although we are thirty minutes late.

Could everything have been
finished in thirty minutes?

Come to think of it,

it seems like Kurama-kun said
something about the location changing...

That's it! They're holding it
at a different arena!

Let's hurry and go ahead!

So, where is this place?

What a predicament.

Gotcha!

That was just my shadow.

Contestant Kuwabara charges in
with a dauntless attack,

but cannot even graze him!

He can completely see through him.

Scurry around, will you?!

LONG LIVE SHISHIWAKAMARU

How dare you...?

How dare you use my head
as a stepping stone?! You b*stard!!

Dammit!

W-Wha...?!

What is this?!

What was that?

Kuwabara-kun's Reiki has vanished!

Is this... a ringout?
I wonder, should I count?

That wouldn't do any good.

As you can see,
I have made him vanish.

Not even I know where he went.

You'll have to ask this thing
what his destination is.

Yami Item, Shide no Hagoromo!

ITEM OF DARKNESS, THE MANTLE OF DEATH

The ends of the earth, or the Demon
Realm, or even another dimension...

Probably nowhere agreeable, though.

Juri-san, can we have
your decision, please?

Right. As a result of Contestant
Kuwabara being missing,

he is considered to have
forfeited the match,

and the victory goes to
Contestant Shishiwakamaru!

Waka-sama has won!

Waka-sama, look over this way!

There, all right!
That's one down! Thattaway!

Now k*ll the remaining two!

This time cut them to bits
so that we can see!

Maybe I will grant the
spectators' request this time.

Why, that b*stard!
What the hell did he do?

Kuwa-chan! What happened?!

Falling out of the sky
all of a sudden like that...

Yukina-san!
And her entourage, to boot!

Who are you saying is "to boot"?!

Who's in an entourage?!

Yukina-san!

Yukina-san! What in the world
are you doing here?

Apparently, we were
mistaken as to the stadium...

Nah, for us to meet in this fashion...

it has to be fate, right?

Kazu, you lost again, didn't you?

Well... I did get a little bit careless...

Yow!

Since when did you become so strong
that you could get careless, huh?!

Could it be that Shizuru-san
is the stronger one?

In any case, I'll show you
to the Dome of Darkness.

Let's hurry, Yukina-san!

Y-Yeah!

MASK / FREE CHOICE

For the Uraotogi Team, "free choice,"

and for the Urameshi Team,
Mask has come up!

I will go for our side. What will you do?

If Mask or Yusuke's names came up,
I said I would go, didn't I?

You have no objections, do you, Kurama?

Hold on!

Who are you?!

You're different from
who was here before!

The one who was here before had
tremendous spiritual power within them,

even when they were suppressing it.

You may be able to hide
your face with that mask,

but you cannot fool me
about your Reiki!

I have transferred it over to Yusuke.

It's true. It's closer to say
she seems like the same person,

who has grown awfully weak,
than to say she's a different person.

You don't give me enough credit.

To think that you would
cross me in battle

with such a pretentious
level of spiritual power...

What a joke!

I will expose you for what you are!

And now, match number 5,
Shishiwakamaru versus the Masked Warrior!

Begin!

He's fast!

Oh, my!

Contestant Shishiwakamaru repeatedly
attacks in sharp, close quarters!

It is all Contestant Mask
can do to avoid him!

It's not just your Reiki...
your speed is also below average.

I can't possibly believe that you're
the same Masked Warrior I saw earlier.

Show me who you are!

She's different! That ain't
the same young girl as before!

She's an old hag!

I knew it was a different person.

To think... To think that my power
would drop as much as this...

Referee, as you can see,

those on the Urameshi Team are using masks
to let multiple people fight for them.

Yes, so it would seem.

And even supposing she is
the sixth, alternate fighter,

the rule is that unless someone
has died, she cannot take their place.

Yes, that is correct.

In that case, can we have them

bring forth the body of either
Urameshi or that young girl as proof?

You are absolutely right.

It's true! That's not the same young girl
that was in the Dr. Ichigaki battle!

-That's dirty, Urameshi!
-Stop trying to cheat!

Don't you have any sense of shame?!

Die, you!

You scoundrels!

Breaking the rules gets you ex*cuted!

Execute them! Execute them!

This may be a little hard to believe,

but as a result of the claim that
the Urameshi Team is cheating,

the match will be temporarily suspended.

Let's hear it!

Execute them!
Execute them! Execute them!...

Currently, the battle
of the Urameshi Team

versus Dr. Ichigaki is being
displayed on the screen...

Sure enough, the way my eyes see it,

I can only believe that
this is a different person.

What in the world could this mean?

I have just now received word
that the tournament headquarters

is taking this under consultation.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please wait for one moment.

So then, as your active mic performer,

I, Koto, would like to use
this time effectively!

Excuse me a moment...

Who, me?

Yes. Regarding this claim that
the Urameshi Team has broken the rules,

what are your thoughts?

Yes, indeed... I prefer younger
girls like that one before.

What do you think?

When it comes to the Old Man...
he goes with the Sea.

Somehow,

I'm getting the feeling that doing
interviews is going to be a waste of time.

See, that pretty girl
from before and Genkai

are one and the same person, I tell you!

Is that right?

She's probably handed down
all of her mysteries to Yusuke,

and used up all of her spiritual power.

That's why she has returned
to her original appearance.

Koenma-sama!

If that's it, then shouldn't we go explain
that to the tournament headquarters?

Oh, you're right!
This is where I come in!

Koenma-sama, what are you doing?

Can't you tell just by looking?

No, I can't.

The tournament headquarters...

only knows me...

in my adult form.

I'm transforming.

All right!

Oh, my!

It appears that the ruling from tournament
headquarters is about to come down!

What?

Quiet down! Please, quiet down!

"In regard to the Uraotogi Team's
claim that the Urameshi Team

is using different contestants,

the outcome of our deliberation is..."

The outcome of their deliberation is...?!

"No problem!" There will be no penalty,
and the match is to continue as-is!

What is this?!

Don't be ridiculous!

Is the tournament
headquarters taking their side?!

I'm not buying it!

Come on out here,
whoever is responsible for this!

I ask that you please
be quiet! Quiet, please!

What the hell is going on?!

I will explain.

It's Toguro!

W-Why would Toguro...?

Shh! Shut up and listen!

The Urameshi Team
has not broken any rules.

The reason being that the woman
who fought in the Ichigaki battle

and the woman who is here
are one and the same person.

Practitioners of Reihado, when they
use their powers at their maximum,

have their cells activated,

and their bodies are returned to
the age when they were at their peak.

In other words, her appearance
now is her true appearance.

Will that do for you, Genkai?

Did he say Genkai?!

That's Genkai, of Reikohado-ken fame?!

The Urameshi Team sure has
someone intense on their side!

But why would Toguro know
about something like that?

To think that you were
the notorious Genkai!

It appears that luck has
turned completely my way!

Any way I look at it,

the person standing before me
is nothing but an ordinary old woman,

but if you are Genkai
of the Reikohado-ken,

then it would be worth k*lling
you just for having that name!

The circumstances have changed.
I am going to k*ll you at my full power!

That sword!

Yami Item, Makokumeizan-ken!!

DEMONIC WAILING SWORD OF DECAPITATION

As long as its bearer's life is in danger,
this katana will summon Death!

I show you this as a farewell gift
on your departure from this life!

That katana bears paying attention to!

It's emitting a Yoki even more ominous
than Shishiwakamaru himself is!

We're almost there.

I sure hope they haven't lost
once we get there.

They're fine! That Hiei b*stard
is all worked up, after all.

By Hiei-san, you mean the closed-mouthed
gentleman with the keen gaze, right?

He's an unsociable thug who does
nothing but give people dirty looks!

Listen to me, you mustn't
go anywhere near that guy.

If you do, all your hair
will get pulled out!

Now see here, that's outrageous, Kuwa!

It's rude for you to
talk like that, you know!

Which part? It's all the truth!

There are things that you can say,
and those that you can't, you know!

And even so,
Hiei is still Yukina-chan's...

Tell Yukina that she is my sister,
if you wish to die...

Gulp!

Eek!

Right, then... one...
two... one... two...

That was close!
That was close! I nearly died!

What's with her? Has she been scrounging
table scraps off the floor or something?

Huh?

If it isn't Urameshi!

Yusuke!

Yu...

Thank goodness! He's only sleeping!

He's so covered with scrapes...

What's this? Here we
thought you'd disappeared,

and here you are sleeping like a log!

Y-You're covered in blood, aren't you?!

What in the world happened?

He must have suffered
through quite an ordeal.

You know about that, do you, Sis?

A-Anyhow, since we're nearly there
anyhow, shall we take him with us?

Puu-chan!

You've hung in there as well, huh?

Up you go...

What the hell's going on
with the matches?

If I were to convert all the spiritual
power I now have into a Rei-g*n,

I would have three shots left.

That's the last of the power
that I have remaining.

Here goes!

I can't allow myself to lose!
Not until I fight Toguro...

At last, Yusuke, Kuwabara,
Botan and the others meet up.

And now, having entrusted
her secrets to Yusuke,

does Genkai, with her little remaining
spiritual power, have a chance of winning?

Damn that pretty-boy b*stard!

He's twirling that strange
katana of his around!

And what's worse, it's creating an army of
phantom skulls that are coming out all over.

That's pretty nasty... Not at all what
you'd expect from a guy like that.

Ah, Ba-san! Don't you lose
to a b*stard like that!

Next time, "Remaining Power!
Genkai's Life-or-Death Battle."

The Other World's
not watching for nothing!
