01x70 - Osorubeki Shinjitsu! Arata Na Nazo

[bunniefuu]

WHOEVER ENTERS THIS HOUSE MUST BY
NO MEANS SAY "HOT." IF THEY DO...

Of the three guys
who have abducted Yusuke,

one of them, Kaito,
has a unique ability called Taboo.

Inside his Territory,
contests of words are everything.

Having spoken the taboo word,

Hiei, Kuwabara, and Botan
each had their souls taken from them.

However, Kurama took advantage
of this ability,

defeating Kaito
with some psychological strategy.

What will be the next ability to stand
in the way of the group as they advance?

"The Terrifying Truth! A New Mystery."

How are you feeling?

So you've defeated Kaito, have you?

Not bad at all.

With the key you had
and with the key from Kaito,

we've opened two doors
into the rooms inside.

Oh, so that's why you woke me up?

This piece of paper was posted
on the third door.

"Opening this door
without permission from Yanagisawa

will mean Urameshi's death!"

That's correct.

In that case, hurry up and give us
this permission of yours.

If you value your life, that is.

You'd do well not to talk so arrogantly.

You do have to follow
my directions after all.

For crying out loud,

how many doors does this hallway
have before you get inside?

It appears as though
they had defeated Kaito.

But whether or not they'll
make it up here safely...

Why, you!

How long are you going to
have me stand here like this?

Well, now,
would you like to move a little?

As I expected, Urameshi-san.

What is this?

After those three doors
come seven stairways?

Urameshi is on the second floor.

However, to get there,
you must each use a different stairway.

What?

What are you planning this time?

Good question.

However, if you want to save Urameshi,
you will follow my instructions.

-Why, you...
-Kuwabara-kun!

As long as we're inside this mansion,
we'd better not go against their rules.

I know!

I've got just the thing!
Let's see, I know they're...

Here they are!

For when you're in a fix,
the Spirit Realm's Seven Tools, number 5!

The Mejiru Seals!
Economy-sized set of 100!

Mejiru seals?

Well, then? What are they?

Right, this is an improved version
of the tattoo seals

that get affixed to arrested criminals.

Once one is affixed,

only the person
who stuck it on can remove it!

You're right! It won't peel off!

But if I, who pasted it on... Look!

Oh, it came off!

Interesting.

However, if the person
who pasted it on dies,

it will come off by itself.

Furthermore, these are made
so that you can tell the condition

of the person who pasted it on
by the colors they change.

If it's blue, they're healthy.

If it's yellow, they're slightly injured.

If it's red, they're heavily injured.

Quite the first-class item, isn't it?

I get it.

If we write our own names on the seals
and place them on each other,

then if anything were to happen to
one of us on the way to the second floor,

we'll know immediately.

Feel free.

Right now, everyone's blue.
That's the normal condition.

Well, now, Hiei is the only one left, huh?

I don't want any.

What are you saying?
Everyone has to put them on!

I told you, I don't want any!

What will you do if you get your
soul taken away again or something?

-What will you do?
-What will you do?

I'm going up this staircase!

Then I will go here.

I'll go here.

Everyone, be extra careful.

All right!

You won't be able to see through
my ability with those seals.

Kido, the four of them are headed
your way. Right on schedule.

Yes, acknowledged.
So Kaito was done in after all?

Looks like one of the four
is very sharp-witted.

Urameshi-san, very soon,
those four will be here to rescue you.

And when they get here,
what the hell are you planning to do?

With your ability,

you can't block all four of them
from moving at the same time!

Not if your ability can only
block people from moving

by stepping on their shadows!

If one of those four breaks this light,
then you're finished!

And as for me, if I had realized
what your ability was from the start,

I wouldn't have been caught
by you guys so easily!

That's what I think.
My ability is indeed a weak one.

But even so, the fact of the matter is,
you're here in my custody!

Good grief, this is ridiculous!
Damn, this is a long staircase!

When did I start going down?

What is with this mansion?

This is making me sick!

This is nonsense.

All I have to do is lightly block
your mouth and nose right here,

and I could k*ll you.

Then do it!

It'd be a relief, rather than being
caught here so undignified like this!

Well, now, take it easy.
Let's wait until the other four get here.

They're here, huh?

You guys!

Urameshi!

Yusuke!

What are you just standing
around quietly for?

I thought you had been captured!

Be careful coming over here!
His ability is Shadow!

By stepping on people's silhouettes,
he can prevent them from moving!

That's right.

However, I am not your next opponent.
It is one of you four!

What are you talking about?

And so, the next game begins.

Urameshi-san,
there is one impostor among those four.

What?

What?

Please find the impostor
within the next ten minutes.

Those are the rules. Simple, right?

You four will only answer
Urameshi-san's questions.

Any other convesation is not allowed.

Impostor? Don't be ridiculous, dammit!

He's right!
Who could disguise themselves that well,

not to mention
in such a short amount of time?

I told you,
no other talking would be allowed.

Don't you care
what happens to the hostage?

Before you could do anything
to Yusuke, I could k*ll you.

You don't get it, do you?
If one of you four is an impostor,

then that means the real one
has been captured.

In other words, there is another hostage
besides Urameshi-san.

If anything happens to me,
my friends will k*ll that one.

You've taken everything into account then?

So if I don't find the impostor
within ten minutes,

you're going to k*ll the real one?

You now have nine minutes.

What will you do?

Are you going to play?
Are you not going to play?

I'll play!

Damn. You're sure
there's an impostor here?

Kuwabara! What are your birthday
and blood type?

Why, you! You got suspicious of me first?

Shut up! Just answer me!

I'd be happy to tell you,

but do you even know
what my birthday and blood type are?

I don't!

This isn't going to work!

Kurama! What's your mom's name?

Minamino Shiori, age 40. She's engaged
to get married again next fall.

Really? Glad to hear it.

Invite me to the ceremony, okay?

You have seven minutes left.

Okay then, Botan!

What are your three sizes,
from top to bottom in order?

What do you need to hear that for?

For one thing,
I've never told you what they are, have I?

Yes, you have! Remember, that one time!

No, I've never told you,
you dumbass horndog!

Sheesh, not falling for it, huh?

This is so stupid, I can't stand it.

Hiei! What's the name
of your younger sister?

Come on, answer!

I don't have to tell you.
You know well who she is.

That's right. Given Hiei's personality,
that's exactly what he would say.

What, you've got a younger sister?

If she's your sister, she must be one
tough-looking, ill-tempered girl, huh?

I'm going to k*ll you.

Come to think of it,
Kuwa-chan's the only one who doesn't know.

"The only one"?

What, you all know about her?

You might say...

Then tell me too!

B-But then...

Don't you all look at me!

It's a long story!

This is making me sick. Who is it?

You have five minutes left.

In any case, we'll tell you later!

Make sure you do!

Urameshi! Hurry up and guess!

I don't know, you piece of crap!

You guys...

What are those seals
you have stuck on you?

They're Mejiru Seals
from the Seven Tools of the Spirit Realm!

I explained all of them to you
when you became

the Spirit Realm Detective, didn't I?

Come to think of it, you're right. Sorry.

For the love of...
Are you sure you're not the impostor?

If I remember correctly,

those seals can only be taken off
by the one who stuck it on, right?

That's right.

Both people and Yokai have what's called
a Kimon, an extrasensory imprint...

That's it!

I get it! The impostor
won't be able to remove their seals!

Everyone, ready?

Yes!

Everyone pulled theirs off!

What?

What does that mean?

It can't be! The impostor
shouldn't have been able to remove it!

There wasn't any impostor here,
to begin with.

He's been bluffing!

He's here. I can assure you of that.

Yanagisawa's ability is Copy.

He can copy your voiceprint,
your fingerprints,

and of course,
this "extrasensory imprint" thing too,

as well as your memories
and personality, down to a tee.

You can be certain that Yanagisawa has
taken on the form of one of those four.

If you can't tell
which one is the impostor,

then you have no need
for the real person, do you?

What?

Time's up. Urameshi-san,
I am now going to release your shadow.

Your body will be freed.

And you must choose
which one you think is the impostor,

and as hard as you can,
you will slug them!

What?

There is only one way
to see through Yanagisawa's ability,

and that's for someone like you,
who has strong spiritual power,

to land a hard blow on him.

We'll only give you one chance.
Think real hard before you hit them.

Why, you! What the hell
is the purpose of this?

We're only following instructions.

Although, we are enjoying it as well.

I hate to be a pest, but if you try
anything funny, the hostage dies.

Now then, you have 30 seconds.

If you don't act soon,
I will instruct them to k*ll the hostage!

Fifteen more seconds, fourteen...

All right, I've decided
who I'm going to hit.

Don't think badly of me.

It's you!

Me?

Nicely figured out.

Why did you think it was Kuwabara-san?

He was the easiest one for me to hit.

I'm used to hitting him, you see.

That's all.

Unlike myself, Kurama and Hiei
probably wouldn't be stupid enough

to let themselves get caught.

Hiei, your ears aren't burning, are they?

Figuring that, Botan and Kuwabara
were the only ones left.

If you guys were low enough
to capture and make use of Botan,

the weakest among them,
then there'd be nothing I could do.

Even if I had blown it here, I'd just
come back and be sure to crush you all!

Thinking that, I chose Kuwabara.

Yusuke!

Magnificent. I'm impressed.

Stop jerking us around!
Now, return Kuwabara to us!

Now it's your turn!

No, I don't get a turn.

We return Kuwabara-san to you,
and that's where it ends.

Before that though,

let's have the mastermind
behind this come forward.

Ba-san?

What the hell is this?

Answer me, you filthy hag!

We're so sorry!

We truly are very sorry!

There's no need for you to apologize.

I'm the one who came up
with the plan after all.

Master, that really
wasn't very nice of you.

I had a vague sense that
you'd be behind something like this.

I don't get this at all!

Kurama, I'm begging you, explain this
to me so that I can understand it!

This was done to make introductions,
in poor taste.

That about describes it, right?

I suppose so.
But I didn't do this for the fun of it.

I wanted everyone to directly experience
the abilities of these guys' Territories,

which are about more than just power.

Kurama, when did you realize?

Once we got inside this atelier.

If these guys wanted to
and if they were more underhanded,

they could have defeated us in many ways.

True enough.

Since they didn't do so,

it must have meant that there
was some purpose for this.

Besides, you know all of us so well,

and I couldn't think of anyone else who
would do this in such a roundabout way.

I still don't see the reason for this.

Why was it necessary to go so far to make
us understand their abilities like this?

The four of you are strong. However...

First of all, I wanted you to see

that depending on the method,
there are still people out there

who are able to k*ll you.

Hiei, you had your soul taken
from you in Kaito's Territory.

Inadvertent though it may have been.

What? What's this, Hiei?
You got captured too?

What am I going to do with you?

Yusuke! The same is true of you!

If I'd known
what my opponent's Territory was,

I wouldn't have slipped up like that.

Do you think a real enemy
would take the trouble

to voluntarily reveal their ability
to you?

Being caught
by your opponent means your death!

Still, you keep talking about enemies,
but these guys aren't the ones, right?

So who the hell is it?

Kido, tell them.

Right.

We all went to consult with Genkai-san
about our strange powers.

That's when we learned about
Urameshi-san's incredible spiritual power.

The truth is,

we've only been in possession
of these abilities since just recently,

and they came upon us abruptly.

Abruptly?

It's the effect of a hole
that opens onto the Demon Realm.

"A hole that opens onto the Demon Realm"?

A subspace boundary tunnel connecting
the Human Realm to the Demon Realm.

You don't mean...

Yes. The very same thing that Sakyo,

the owner from the Dark Tournament,
was trying to do.

What?

I heard everything from Ba-san.

There's someone trying
to open a doorway to the Demon Realm.

A ridiculously dangerous
huge doorway of darkness.

The look on your face
doesn't match your appearance.

Shut up, you! I know!

Come on! Give me back my clothes, you!

But Sakyo is supposed to have died.

Who in the world could it be?

Sakyo died for sure.

That probably means
that there's someone out there

who wishes to carry on Sakyo's wishes.

Someone who wants
to carry on Sakyo's wishes?

A new crisis appears
before Yusuke and the others.

Who is this person
carrying on Sakyo's wishes?

And what sort of thing is this giant
boundary tunnel to the Demon Realm?

Connecting the Demon Realm
with the Human Realm?

Who the hell is doing it?

You mean there's somebody somewhere
in this city who's just sitting around,

waiting for a doorway
to the Demon Realm to be opened?

Dammit, don't hide! Show yourself already!

Next time, "The Terror Approaches!
A Doorway to the Demon Realm."

The Other World's not watching
for nothing!
