01x51 - Shukumei no Taiketsu! Toguro no Kage

[bunniefuu]

In the first round of the semifinals,

the Urameshi Team fought against
the Uraotogi Team without Yusuke,

and they managed to advance to the finals
thanks to the actions taken by Genkai.

Elsewhere, Yusuke, who had taken damage
from the trial given by Master Genkai,

was still unable to awaken himself.

And so, their greatest foe,
the Toguro Team,

is about to appear in the
second round of the semifinals...

"Confrontation of Destiny!
The Shadow of Toguro."

And now, for the second
round of the semifinals,

the Gorenja Team enters the stadium!

Continuing, the Toguro Team
also comes forward!

We've been waiting for this, Toguro!

Toguro! Toguro! Toguro...

In a complete turn of events from the last
round, there is an incredible outpouring!

The Toguro Team is met with deafening
cheers as they enter the stadium.

Contestant Karasu!

Contestant Bui!

Contestant Toguro the Elder.

Huh? Koenma-sama, I don't see
the younger of the Toguro Brothers!

It's outrageous for him to be late!

Well, maybe he's just gone
to the bathroom or something.

As big as Toguro is, it must take a while!

What could this mean? Although
the Toguro Team is in the semifinals,

Toguro the Younger
is nowhere to be seen.

Let's have an explanation.
Where is your brother?

My brother had important business.

We were planning on facing you
with just the three of us.

If you aren't satisfied
with just the three of us,

I wouldn't mind going at you alone.

You dare mock us?!

Still, this is a chance to beat the
Toguro Team that will never come again!

This is a surprise!

It appears that the Toguro Team

will be fighting in the semifinals
with only three members!

Is he still sleeping?! And here the finals
are the day after tomorrow!

Is he really going to be all right?

Let him sleep.

Once the matches start, he'll wake up
whether he wants to or not.

He knows that better than anyone.

So, then...

Ba-san, where are you going?

I have important business
to take care of...

Important business?

Kuwabara...

Don't you go losing, now.

Ba-san... what in the world
is the matter with you today?

And now, the matches between the Toguro
Team and the Gorenja Team will begin!

You three are going to
face the five of us, huh?

It seems that we have been
greatly underestimated.

But then again, we didn't advance our way
into the semifinals just for show, either!

Contestant Midorenja has suddenly
produced some kind of goopy...

What could it be?!
It has a fiercely acidic odor to it!

What is that smell?!

I can't take this!

Die!!

Incredibly, the spectators who were hit by
the green ball Contestant Midorenja threw

have dissolved,
disappearing without a trace!

It looks as though you
underestimated my power, huh?

This time, it's your turn to be vaporized!

Hmph! Like a summer's
moth flying into a flame!

You idiot!

What?!

What the hell... did you...?

Now then, what should I blow away next?

Your legs? Your belly?
Or perhaps your head?

Don't, please! Spare me!

You're a disgrace!

The winner is Contestant Karasu
of the Toguro Team!

That is a fearsome technique.

He probably forces Yoki
into his opponent's body,

and destroys it from the inside.

He's strong! As long as I'm in
Minamino Shuichi's body like this,

I'm not sure I can stand up to even those
other two, let alone the Toguro Brothers.

Kurama. Hiei.

Take a good look at
the way those guys fight.

Hiei may have been right not to watch.

I don't have the time
to watch the opponent's fight.

Genkai-san!

After those incredible matches, are you
sure you're okay not getting any rest?

Oh, I just wanted to feel
the wind out here for a little bit.

I know. Why don't you go
cheer on the Urameshi Team?

What are you talking about? You're acting
like that's somebody else's business.

I mean, really! Genkai-san, you are
a member of the Urameshi Team, after all!

Keiko-chan...

Yes?

I'm leaving Yusuke in your hands.

Okay then, see you around.

There's something strange here.

That really was strange, huh?
She's a strange old Ba-san, huh?

Come on! Let's go back to
our room! I'm getting tired!

The second match is between
Contestant Bui and Contestant Kirenja!

Oh, my! Contestant Kirenja
has drawn a giant sword!

How about this? I wanted to
keep this sword until the finals,

but I'm not going to get careless, either!

I don't care how much you fortify
your own body with that armor,

this hardened steel sword will
slice you and your armor right up!

What?

The axe, which suddenly
appeared with Contestant Bui,

is even more gigantic than
Contestant Kirenja's sword!

You fool! Just because it's bigger
doesn't mean it's better!

If I can just move in close enough,
my sword will have to be faster than that,

you moron!

Match two, begin!

What is he planning to do?! Even at
that distance, Bui hasn't even flinched!

With an axe as big as that,
he'll never swing it in time!

At this distance, you're all mine!

I-Incredibly, Contestant Bui

has in one instant smashed Contestant
Kirenja to bits with his giant axe!

A-At that range, that enormous
axe was faster than the sword?!

W-Why does somebody that ridiculously
terrible follow the Toguros?

It's a simple enough matter.

It's because we, the Toguro Brothers,
are even stronger.

This is too big a hassle.
All three of you come at me.

If you can beat me,
I'll let you have the final round.

W-What was that?! You'll be
sure to regret saying that!

Amazingly, it appears
that Contestant Toguro

is daring to take on the other
three opponents at once.

Toguro the Elder is going to fight!

He can fight without his brother?!

Begin!

You've gotten too carried
away with yourself!

You cannot follow...

...our combination plays!

Oh, my! The three contestants are
leaping around in all directions at will!

It almost looks like there
are thousands of them!

Is there nothing that Contestant
Toguro can do against them?!

Take this! Sanju sasso!!

SANJU SASSO:
TRIPLE CONCERTED DEATHSTRIKE

That's a shame. I have a talent
for defeating everyone all at once.

Awesome, Toguro the Elder!

That was so cool!

Oh? You two are still alive, huh?

You really didn't get to
the semifinals just for show.

As a reward, I promise I will allow
either one of you two to live.

Come on, make your request of me.

Don't be ridiculous!
You think I would beg you?!

If you don't k*ll me right here,
I will come to k*ll you someday!

L-Let me live!
Please, just spare my life!

That settles it, then.

We hate those who are so disgraceful.

Previously, when Karasu and Bui
challenged us brothers and lost,

they said something similar
to what you just said...

H-Hurry up and k*ll us!

No. The defeated have
no right to give any orders.

I, as the victor, will decide
whether I let you live or k*ll you.

Before we knew it, they grew to be
considerably stronger than they were then,

and we put them
on the same team as us.

Even now, they are after our lives.

Both me and my brother
love guys like that.

That's more like it.

However, there is one significant
difference between me and my brother...

I often break my promises.

You die, too!

It's just about time, huh?

The Toguro Team advances to the finals
with a total victory!

The finals will begin
in two days at noon...

The Toguro Team is sure
to win the next round, too!

They're in a whole other league!

It's Kurama!

It's no use for you to
observe the competition!

In two days, you'll be
their victims as well!

If only I could turn into
that form once again...

You're the only one
who came to watch, huh?

You must be quite self-assured.

Not at all.

Don't be so nervous.
We won't do anything.

The four of you won't die
for another two days.

Four of us?!

One will die today.
You will know who soon enough.

Karasu is gone! In that one instant
when I directed my attention to Bui...!

Where is he?!

Your hair is a bit distressed, huh?
Do you give it treatments?

You should take plenty of care of it.
Humans get hurt so easily, after all...

W-Why, you...!

I was only joking.
Don't let it get to you.

As cool as you are,
you are also quite belligerent.

Of the five of you, I do
indeed like you best of all.

When I k*ll something
that I like, I get depressed,

the same as when I think about
why in the world I was ever born.

But then, I find that to be
an indescribable pleasure.

I'm looking forward
to two days from now.

I can't beat him! Not like this!

You've gotten old, Genkai.

You haven't changed.

You're the same as you were 50 years ago.

I never thought that half a century later,

I would once again be
a guest at this tournament.

But then, to be called here by someone
who was my ally 50 years ago...

Why did you call on me?!

You're asking the obvious, aren't you?

It's to let you know how
cruel the passage of time is.

Fifty years ago, you were beautiful.

Just by closing my eyes, the image of
you 50 years ago comes back to me.

Why did you wear a mask?

Is it because you did not
want me to see you this way?

Don't be so full of yourself!

I simply didn't want to reveal who I was
in a place crawling with so many Yokai!

This place is teeming with folk
that are after my head, you know.

You have already passed on
your Reikohado-ken, haven't you?

Yeah... I have handed it over to Yusuke.

Very well... I have no
further business with you.

Are you finally awake?!

What's with that awful look on your face?

Toguro... He's fighting!

Yeah. They must be holding
the semifinals right about now.

It's not that!

Hey! Urameshi!

Ba-san!

You really haven't changed.
Fighting is the only thing inside your head.

You have changed,
and I cannot put up with you.

I do not want to look at
your aged self any longer.

I can't put up with you, either!

You, who went so far as to sell your soul
in search of a moment's youth and strength!

Is that so?

In that case, one of us must go away!

Here goes, Genkai!

I will take my remaining strength,
all three Rei-g*n shot's worth,

and blast you with all
of my spiritual power!

The confrontation of destiny between
Toguro and Genkai now begins!

Is there any chance of Genkai winning?

In two days, the matches
against the Toguro Team await!

Genkai Ba-san, why do you
have to fight Toguro?

Wasn't I supposed to be
the one to defeat him?

I don't know about what
happened between you in the past,

but I am your pupil!

How could you not say anything to me?
That was terrible, you know?!

Ba-san!
