01x57 - Kyo! Yoroi o Hazushi Ta Bui

[bunniefuu]

In the first match of
the Dark Tournament's final round,

Kurama, having become a Yoko,
had Karasu under pressure.

However, after taking Karasu's
ferocious counterattack head-on,

Kurama returned to his original form.

Faced with a desperate situation,

Kurama squeezed out the last of his energy
and shot out a plant from the Demon Realm.

It appeared as if the two had
finished each other off, until...

I'm alive...

"Intimidation! Bui Removes His Armor."

Contestant Kurama has done it!

Risking his own life in the attack,
he has defeated Contestant Karasu!

All right! That's our first win!

That was a great
come-from-behind win, Kurama!

Mm-hmm, you've done well.

That's our first win, then...

Are you okay, Kurama?

Y-Yeah...

Kurama!

I'm sorry, Yusuke.

It was all I could do just to k*ll him...

What? What do you mean?

I mean that I wasn't
able to win against him.

The match is over!

Contestant Karasu is the victor!

W-What?!

W-What's this? Contestant Karasu
has been designated as the victor!

How in the world could this possibly be?

How come?!
Kurama eliminated Karasu, didn't he?

I-It sure looked that way...

Dammit...

Hey, you! How come Kurama lost?!
Explain that to me!

By ten-count down.

Ten-count down? I didn't hear any of that!

It's true. I do my job right, after all!

What the hell are you talking about?!

At that moment, all you were doing
was cowering in a heap, weren't you?!

No! If you'll watch the VTR playback,
you'll see! There is no mistake!

Y-You're serious?

I'm serious!

Is that right, Kurama?

Y-Yeah...

What, what is it? What's going on?

Which one of them won?
Make it clear, you b*stards!

Er, ladies and gentlemen, a moment ago,

I inadvertently declared
Contestant Kurama to be the victor.

However, according to
the judgment of Juri-san,

devoted to her work as she is,
Contestant Karasu is the winner.

And so, as the VTR
tape has just arrived,

let's now watch it for confirmation.

Contestant Kurama is down!
I will begin the count! 1...

Indeed. A count has definitely
been declared here...

5... 6... 7...

8... 9...

10!

There is no mistaking it!

Contestant Kurama counterattacked
while he was still in the down state,

and it was after Juri-san
had completed her ten-count!

Contestant Kurama lost to the count.

Y-You can't mean it!

I-It can't be!

That does it! Karasu has
turned the tables again!

Now the Toguro Team needs only
two more wins to be the champions!

Two more wins! Two more wins!

Two more wins! Two more wins!
Two more wins! Two more wins...

We're going to win next.
Make sure you take the count.

-Can you stand, Kurama?
-Yeah...

Shut up, you all!

He may have lost the match,
but he won the fight!

With him still alive, this is all ours!

He doesn't get it, does he?

He may have survived, but
your fate remains unchanged.

The road to hell
remains open, waiting for you.

W-What?!

Have you forgotten?

That each member of the champion
team will receive their prize?

Let me tell you what my wish is...
Death for all of you!

k*ll them! k*ll them!

Now look here, Kazu! Don't you let
him get the last word in like that!

She's right! Give him a good solid
talking-back to! A good solid one!

How pathetic!

Yukina-san is weeping over you!

Huh? But I'm not weeping...

It's all right, it's all right.

k*ll them! k*ll them!...

You all shut up! Quiet the hell down!

Dammit, cut it out already!

Let me tell you what my desire is.

The lives of every puppet
master behind this tournament,

so that I may never be called
to this ridiculous game again.

The puppet masters
behind the tournament, huh?

Indeed, there were such
folks around at one time...

Apparently, I've already granted
his wish on the house, huh?

So then, since you're all going to
meet your deaths at some point anyhow,

it would make us feel so much
better to carry them out directly.

Who shall we have become
our first victim, then?

What's this, Bui?
Are you saying you want to go?

That's unusual for you,
to become so affirmative...

Very well.

Go out there and let them have a good
strong taste of the terror of death!

All right! I'm going to go put
on a good show for Yukina-san!

I'm going this time!

All right, then. And I'll
gather up your bones afterwards.

Don't you go saying such off-putting
things, you pacifier-chewing b*stard!

Yusuke...

I wanted to go against
black-glasses there,

but out of consideration for Genkai,
I'll concede him to you.

Hiei...

H-Huh?

I'll make do with that one.

What? Hiei's going to go?

Your life has been spared, huh, Kuwabara?

Why, you...! I'm seriously
going to k*ll you!

In the second match,
for the Urameshi Team, Hiei!

For the Toguro Team, Bui!

And so, the second match of
the final round is about to begin!

Will it be Contestant Hiei
or Contestant Bui

that the goddess of victory smiles upon?

Both contestants appear to
be concealing some power,

and we cannot take our
eyes off them for a second!

Oh, my! Contestant Bui
has produced the same axe

that he used in the previous match!

It's one unbelievably gigantic axe!

O-Oh, no!

It's even bigger than before, isn't it?

We're counting on you, Bui!

Hey, use that axe to cut
that pipsqueak clean in half!

That's your weapon, is it?

My, my, you intend to
treat me like a small fry?

What's that?

His bandages are wrapped
even tighter than before!

Hasn't his right arm healed up yet?

No, that wrapping is in
the Ijutaiho manner.

It is done in something of a self-styled,
forcibly bound way, though.

Kurama, are you sure
you're okay standing up?

Y-Yeah...

So what is this "Ni-se-tai-ju-taku"
style of wrapping?

Don't tell me that in this
short a time, he was able to...

master the Ensatsu kokuryu-ha technique!

The second match of the final
round, Bui versus Hiei! Begin!

It is Contestant Bui
who makes the first move!

Act like you mean it!

I don't even feel like fighting back.

Contestant Bui mounts a massive attack!

It's so outrageous that he's flinging
tiles from the ring about!

It looks like Bui is enjoying himself.

That's because his
opponent is so incomparable

to the one he had in the semifinals.

Indeed. k*lling someone
like that is so much fun!

As I recall, that was the man who
used the Kokuryu-ha technique.

Yes.

I'd like to see that again.

You think you can toy
around with me, do you?

Jao ensatsu rengoku-sho!!

Yikes!

He's had it.

Enough already!

No matter how many of those axes
you produce, it won't do you any good!

I-Incredible! Contestant Hiei has
vaporized Contestant Bui's axe!

H-He melted that enormous axe
like it was a helping of monjayaki!

He's some astonishing guy, huh?

That's it, all right! The force of his
flames has gone up several times over!

What's more, he has ample Yoki,
and yet it's still rising!

Right now, Hiei is capable
of releasing enough Yoki

to summon a Kokuryu Dragon!

I told you to come
at me like you mean it.

Do you think that non-Yoki-conducting
scrap iron will be of any use against me?

I've just about
reached my limit with you!

The time is upon us, I think.

That was sooner than I expected.

Indeed...

You don't appear to be an opponent
I can beat with my armor in place.

Oh? Ladies and gentlemen,
did you hear that?

The iron-masked Contestant Bui has spoken
for the first time at this tournament!

He has a rather nice, refined voice.

I have been defeated in
battle only one time before.

I had only intended to remove this
armor when I fought that man once again.

You're sure about this?
You'll end up taking my attacks dead-on.

Not to worry.

What's with this armor?!
That's no ordinary weight!

Just how many hundreds of kilos has
he been fighting under up to now?!

This is your chance! Your chance!

If you put him away right now,
you could win, you know! Right?

Think about Hiei's personality,
would you? He would never do that.

Besides, this is a fight
between men, after all.

If he were to do such a gutless thing,
what fun would that be?

Right, right!

I wish I hadn't said anything...

Usually, armor is worn in order to
defend against attacks from the outside.

But in my case, it's a little different.

I wear it in order to
suppress my own power.

A terrible power that not
even I am able to reign in.

Whoa! This is something else!

Hey, you puny monkey!

You'll rethink that big-shot
attitude of yours once you're dead!

W-What an awesome aura!

Battle Aura... His fighting spirit...

So you mean that's Bui's true armor?

Yeah... but this is the first time
I've ever seen one so intense

that it could levitate
the person's whole body.

You get serious too.
We'll make this something to remember.

You're right. I think I'll do just that.

What?!

Aura Battle Cross Attack!!

All right...!

He did it!

He took his own technique head-on!

There's no way even he could
be in good shape after that!

Mm-hmm. That was a brilliant
way of fighting fire with fire.

What?!

I told you to get serious.

Did you think that such cheap
tricks would get you anywhere?

My temper is short.

If you're going to continue
to act so full of yourself,

I'll k*ll you before you
can use your Kokuryu-ha!

Is that so? You want to
see it that badly, do you?

You're going to regret this.

Hey, Kurama, Hiei is
taking off his bandages!

It's that Nisetaijutaku thing!

That's "Ijutaiho." It's the
same as with Bui's armor.

By using those special
bandages to seal up his spell,

he's been suppressing his own power.

Once he releases it, he'll have more
terrible power than he can control...

If those two powers collide,
this whole stadium will be blown away!

There's no turning back now.
I've forgotten how to wrap it up again.

The time has finally come for Hiei to
use his Ensatsu kokuryu-ha technique.

Has Hiei truly mastered it? And what
sort of hidden force does it possess?

A death battle where both opponents
expend all of their energies

is just about to begin!

Blazing within the flames
of the Demon Realm,

the black dragon appears once again!

Hiei, you finally have gotten
a handle on it, haven't you?

When you released the seal
and your powers collided,

your true strength was exhibited!

Is your Kokuryu-ha
capable of burning it all up?

Next time, "The Ultimate Secret Technique!
Howl of the Kokuryu-ha."

The roar of the Kokuryu is calling you.
