01x66 - Toguro no Tsugunai. Ichiban no Nozomi

[bunniefuu]

Urameshi Yusuke has achieved victory
after a terrible battle with Toguro.

Recognizing his defeat,

Sakyo pressed a button which caused
the stadium to blow up with him inside.

After narrowly escaping, Yusuke and the
others looked upon the crumbling stadium,

and realized that everything was over.

However, there was no consoling
the emptiness in their hearts

over the loss of Master Genkai.

"Toguro's Atonement--
His Greatest Desire."

REI

All righty!

Ready?

Yep.

Come to think of it, we didn't even have
the time to just stare out at the sea.

Somehow, it feels like we've been
fighting for a whole year, huh?

It has been a long time.

Whoa!

This guy's okay, and all...

When this guy took on Ba-san's face,
it sure startled me!

Are you some kind of
phone to the Spirit Realm?

Say, Puu, call up Ba-san
again for me, would you?

Okay? Come on, let's have her!

Puu, help me out here!

It's probably...

Come on, come on!

...no longer possible.

No longer possible?

The Spirit Realm is like a station
between life and death.

Then people who are dead
don't go to the Spirit Realm?

They do go there, yes...

but the Spirit Realm is
a relay point on the way to death.

It's only as far as the Spirit Realm
that you can even barely manage

to communicate with this world.

However, you can't stay in
the Spirit Realm for very long.

From there, everyone starts
on a different journey.

That is what death is.

And Genkai-san has already left...

That so...?

She's departed on her
journey to death, huh?

Shall we head back?

Yeah, you're right.

Farewell, Genkai-san.

Oh well, then.

We can't do anything
about what's already done.

People ought to live
while looking forward. Right?

All right!

Starting tomorrow, we get back
to goofing around! To hell with it!

Hey, what about school?!
You won't be able to pass!

Sheesh. The strain he
is under was so obvious,

I'm embarrassed just watching him.

THE SPIRIT REALM

Koenma-sama, we're finally here.

It's been a long time since we've seen it.
I even missed the gate!

Who's there?

It's me! It's me! I've come home!

"Me"? I don't know
anyone with that name!

We're busy here, go back
where you came from!

It looks like they've forgotten about us.

You idiots! It's me! Koenma!

KING

I even feel like I've missed this room.

Huh? Huh? Huh?

What the hell is going on here?!

W-Well, you see...

I thought I told you to take care of
all the business while I was gone!

I even left you my stamp!

Well, you see, we were
found out by Yama the Great.

P-Pop?!

Yes. And so, he ordered us
to have you do the work

when you got back, Koenma-sama...

Koenma-sama, please hurry
and start stamping your stamp!

You idiots! There's other work
that we have to get to first!

Straighten this all up right now!

Right!

Jorge Saotome, you too!

Sure enough, I feel right
at home in my own chair.

Koenma-sama!

All right, let him in.

This here is the judgment gate.
Here, your sins will be judged.

I don't think that will be necessary.

Just listen...

I have already decided.

I will go to the Realm of Darkest Hell.

Th-The Realm of Darkest Hell?!

Y-You would go to the Realm
of Darkest Hell voluntarily?!

You know, don't you,
that the Realm of Darkest Hell

is the most severe level of Hell there is?

You will go through all manner
of agony for ten thousand years,

and then repeat that ten thousand times!

After that, all that awaits
you is utter nothingness!

Are you still going to go, knowing that?

Yeah.

When viewed in light of your
achievements as a martial artist,

you could get off going
to a Hell for lighter sins!

How about it? There's still
time for you to think about it.

I've already decided. I don't
intend to change my mind.

I see.

You really mean it?

In that case,
there's nothing else I can say.

APPROVED

Take him away.

Right.

My, my...

Koenma-sama...?

I finally found what you were asking for.

Oh, it's you.

You were right, Koenma-sama.

The incident that led to
Toguro being reborn as a Yokai

occurred 50 years ago.

About three months before
the tournament began 50 years ago,

all of Toguro's pupils were k*lled
by a Yokai, right before his eyes.

I knew it...

The one who did it was Kairen,
the Yokai who was

the number-one favored candidate
to win the tournament that year.

While he was there to invite Toguro
to enter the tournament as a guest,

he k*lled his pupils, one after the next.

It was almost as if he was
showing off how strong he was.

Then, Toguro was
soundly thrashed by Kairen.

Up until then, Toguro was sure that
he was the strongest one there was.

However, he lost everything.

You are correct.

And so, for the next three months,
nobody heard from him.

The day before the tournament,

when Toguro appeared before
Genkai and the other guests...

it appears that his heart
had already become hardened.

Kairen was k*lled by Toguro
in the finals of that tournament.

And so, having won, Toguro's
wish was to turn into a Yokai.

It is something I am
utterly unable to comprehend.

His behavior is logically inconsistent.

Even though he was triumphant,
and avenged the deaths of his students,

he probably couldn't purge the guilty
conscience he felt within himself.

He wasn't able to protect
his own students, and all...

He didn't realize that he
himself had become so proud.

That's probably why he
couldn't forgive himself.

From then on, he just went ahead
and chose a path of suffering for himself.

Yes.

It was more in order to t*rture himself

than it was to make
an atonement for his pupils.

What a tormented life, indeed.

He lied to himself,
saying he was after strength.

He can't cope with his emotions.

You and I both are at
the height of our strength.

Lately, I've often thought it would
be nice if time would just stop.

Being a human is inconvenient.

Is that right?

I want to acquire a body that will never
grow weak. That is my greatest desire!

I'm impressed that you knew
I would choose this path.

I had a hunch.

I thought you would choose this path.

Are you really going to go down this path?

You've atoned enough
already, haven't you?

There wasn't anything
anyone could have done

about the Yokai Kairen's
strength at the time.

It wasn't your fault!

After the tournament 50 years ago,
you also kept hurting and blaming yourself.

That's enough already, isn't it?

No, it isn't.

I snapped. Defeating Kairen,
and being reborn as a Yokai...

After that, all I could do was
pursue becoming stronger.

I found out what true strength
was when Kairen k*lled my pupils.

If anything,
I'm grateful for what happened.

You're lying!!

Genkai, don't concern
yourself over me any further.

There is still work
remaining for you to do.

He is definitely going to get stronger.

However, if he slips up,
he's going to become like me.

Look after him a little longer.

This is the very end for you...

and the only words you have

are of concern for the one
who defeated you in the match?

You are something else.
As is your folly.

Not even death
could alleviate you of that.

I've been nothing but
trouble for you, haven't I?

You really are... a fool...

I'm coming in.

You're here, are you?

Huh? But how?

The wish of those who win
the tournament must be granted,

no matter what that wish may be.

It's precisely because the victors
can have any wish granted

that this tournament has any value.

You must know pretty well what
Urameshi's wish will be if he wins.

You never know what may happen.

Be sure to keep Genkai's
body carefully preserved.

Thinking about it now,

I feel like we've been controlled
by Toguro from start to finish.

Well, I suppose that's all right.

The 3:10 non-stop ship

will be the last passenger liner
leaving Kubikukuri Island today.

Passengers, please take special
care not to be late in boarding.

Cripes! What are all the girls up to?!

They have to get
themselves all fixed up.

There shouldn't be anyone who has to
pack on their makeup that heavily, right?

Aside from my sister, I mean.

Did I hear you say
something about me?

No, no, no! I was just saying how
my sister is always so pretty!

Why, you...!

Thanks for waiting!

You guys are so slow!

Here!

You're telling me to carry all this?

Of course! Yukina-chan,
have him carry yours, too.

Yeah! Gladly!

Thank you very much!

Here!

Now look, why should I take yours?!

You're carrying
everything else, so why not?

You carry this guy.

If the champion of a martial arts
tournament were seen carrying that,

he'd be made a laughingstock.

You're so cute, though, Puu-chan.

Finally, we can say goodbye
to this island.

It sure has been a while, huh?

And so much has happened--

You blabbermouth! Don't say anything
that will remind everyone of Ba-san!

Sorry, sorry!

It's here, it's here! The ship!

All right, let's go!

Shall we go, then?

Let's get going.

Yeah, right now.

We return in triumph!

Hey, hey...!
How coldhearted you guys are!

That voice...!

Are you planning on
leaving an old woman behind?

Master Genkai!

Ba-san!

Thank goodness!

Don't go digging people's
graves without them asking.

Bonehead!

Ba-san...!

Ba-san!!

The curtain falls on the Dark Tournament,
with the Urameshi Team as the victors.

However, there was no way for
Yusuke and the others to know

that there was one person
remaining on the island

who was planning to take
over Sakyo's evil scheme.

Hey, Urameshi! Here you've just
finished with the Dark Tournament,

and you could be taking it easy,

but as soon as you get back,
you're fighting again?

But these guys aren't
any ordinary students!

They're not like any other type of foe
that we've had up to now.

This looks like it could be a problem!

Next time, "A New Prologue."

The curtain is rising on a new battle
