01x85 - Reikai Tantei. Shukumei no Ichi Ki Uchi

[bunniefuu]

Having defeated the Gamemaster Amanuma,

Yusuke and the others
reach Sensui's location at last.

All at once, the Gourmet, Makihara,
begins to attack.

However, his true identity
was that of Toguro the Elder!

Burning with rage, Kurama defeated
Toguro the Elder behind a smokescreen.

You are not even worthy of death.

There's no time left before the tunnel
to the Demon Realm opens completely!

"Spirit Realm Detectives--
A Fated One-on-One Battle."

Why? Why won't you bite the dust?

The Janenju tree will not release its prey
until it dies.

But since Toguro the Elder
keeps regenerating, he is unable to die.

Dammit!

What's going on?

You will battle with the illusion of me
for eternity.

So that's how you defeat him,
since he can never die, huh?

Incredible.

Why? Why don't you die?

Not bad at all.

That only leaves two remaining.

Yes.

You said that once we defeated Makihara,
you'd return Kuwabara to us, right?

We're taking him back, even if you refuse!

I will keep my promise.

Or I should say, I've kept it already.

What?

Kuwabara-kun is gone!

Why, you!

Yusuke!

Kuwabara!

Not being able to talk
was harder on me than even dying!

Kuwabara-kun, what exactly happened?

I'm not sure what it was,
but this strange hand grabbed me,

and no sooner had I been tossed into
darkness than I suddenly wound up here!

A strange hand?

Kurama!

What is this?

What?

That hurts.

Leave them to me.

You give him back
just to take him away again?

That sounds like something you'd do!

You misunderstand.

I have no intention of exposing them
to danger directly.

I just wanted you and me to be alone.

Fine then!

Geez.

What could be happening with everyone?

Making a fuss won't help anything.

Why don't you try relaxing a little?

But...

We've left everything up to them.
Don't you trust them?

Good old Kurama!

If I rely on these to keep going,
I won't get lost!

Hang in there until I get there!

Where on earth is this place?

-This is a subspace.
-A subspace?

Hey, that's fine and all,
but could you hurry up and untie me?

It would appear
that we've been swallowed by an Uraotoko.

Uraotoko?

What are those?

An Uraotoko is a planar Yokai
that lives between dimensions.

I can't believe this was a coincidence.

Someone must have tamed it.

You're right.

This Uraotoko is my pet.

Itsuki!

Are you a Yokai too?

I am Itsuki, the Yaminade.

Yaminade, a Yokai who possesses
"shadow hands"

that can freely travel through dimensions.

They are one of the few species
that are able

to make lower-order Yokai
from other dimensions their servants.

You're a Yaminade?

I don't care what he is! Let me at him!

Otherwise, I won't be able
to contain myself!

Don't be hasty.
I do not intend to fight you.

What?

Then why the hell did you bring us
to this place?

I would like you to observe the fight
between Sensui and Urameshi.

Our positions may be different,

but we are both drawn to a single man
and take action together with him.

Am I wrong?

Observing their battle
is our duty to them.

Sheesh, what the hell
are you talking about?

Then there's something I'd like you
to tell me.

What is it about Sensui
that you're so keen about?

Everything.

His strengths, his weaknesses,
his purity, his sorrow...

Everything to do with the air of
humanity about him has captivated me.

When I first came across the man known
as Sensui Shinobu, we were enemies.

"There has never been a demon who
has seen Sensui and come away alive."

He was so strong that they were
already whispering that about him

in the world of darkness.

The truth was, he had k*lled
every Yokai he had defeated.

However, I alone was the exception.

Do you have any last words before you die?

If possible,
I wish I could live for one more day.

Why is that?

Tomorrow,

the series finale of a TV drama that
I've always enjoyed watching will be on.

I watch it every week too.

It was a joke.

That slightest bit of humanity
that I put into words

must have bowled Sensui over
with shock at the time.

It takes all kinds, even among Yokai, huh?

When he said that,
after we had chitchatted for a while,

Sensui's face looked a lot younger
than his age.

This hyper-first-rate assassin in terms
of the methods he used to k*ll his foes

also had a face of innocence,
like freshly fallen snow.

I felt as though I had obtained both
a time b*mb and a lover at the same time.

Hey, now, this story is getting
more and more suspicious.

You should have been able to stop Sensui

before he came to be like this.

You don't get it, do you?

I only wanted to look on as he got hurt
and fell further into corruption.

What?

Ink drips onto a sheet of white paper.

The paper absorbs the ink,
and turns black right before your eyes.

That's what it was like.

Watching Sensui's reactions

as he continued
to see the ugly parts of humanity

was most ideal.

Because of his purity,
he couldn't rationalize it away,

nor could he close his eyes to it,

so it just wounded him,
and he became more despondent.

And every time it happened,
he became stronger.

You're making me sick, you psycho b*stard!

You're the one at the root
of his wickedness, aren't you?

You must not misunderstand.
It's not like I coaxed Sensui along.

What the hell are you talking about?

I was only his shadow.

I watched over him as he changed

and only lent him my hand
to do what he wanted.

And I will likely continue to do so.

If it were possible,
I'd like to k*ll you right here!

As wise as you are,
you know you cannot do that, right?

If you k*ll me, you will never leave
the belly of my Uraotoko.

I've never been so aggravated!

All we will do is watch their battle.

I wonder if you've noticed it yet,
Urameshi-kun.

As I continued
being a Spirit Realm Detective, you see,

I could tell that some part
of my heart was going rotten.

But I didn't feel like making the effort
to stop it.

Do you know why that is?

It's because I started realizing

that the eroded portions
were who I really was.

As I fought for something, for someone,

I began more and more to search
for a purpose to my fight.

It almost sounds like I had the cart
before the horse, doesn't it?

You'll become that way someday too.

You really do seem to have gone rotten.

To be honest,

I don't even care about the hole
that opens to the Demon Realm anymore.

Whether the A-class Yokai
and S-class Yokai

come into the Human Realm or not,
it doesn't really matter to me.

What?

It doesn't have anything to do
with me personally, you see.

What is most important to me

is this moment,
when I am about to fight you.

I get the feeling
that the whole reason I tried to create

this tunnel to the Demon Realm
was so that I could fight you.

All right! Clean hit!

What are you, an idiot?

Blowing your own horn like that?

Just going at each other until one
of us is dead is fine with me, you know!

Why didn't you just pick a fight
with me from the start?

Did you think that
if you hadn't done all of this,

I would have run away from you?

You make me sick!

How nice of you that you're so simple.

That's fine too.

Urameshi-kun,
supposing your power is at ten,

my power would probably
be between six and seven.

Speed, resilience, stamina...

I'll bet you've got the edge over me
in all of them.

But you still cannot beat me.

What?

What's he going on about?

Is this some kind of psych-out?

No, it's not!

Sensui is fully sure of himself!

That's right.

It's been a long time since I've seen
Sensui enjoy himself this much.

What? Stop spouting
your half-baked gibberish!

Urameshi! Don't let your head
get twisted around!

Go get him!

You're better than me,
and yet you cannot beat me.

Do you know why?

The reason is simple.

It's because you're sick in the head!

I'm not going to give you the time
to kick that ball!

No, you don't!

Urameshi!

That hurts.

Why, you! You lied to me!

If my speed is greater than yours,

then why don't my punches land, huh?

Number one reason why you cannot win...

I can more or less read your attacks.

What? More or less, you say?

What are you, a child?

Explain to me what the hell you mean!

In short, it's my career.

My history of fighting Yokai,
from the time I was a little boy.

Like earlier,
when you caught me by surprise,

and I took your blow...

What you could call my fighting intuition

moves me even faster than my reflexes,
allowing me to avoid any fatal injuries.

Your career, huh?

When it comes to the number of fights
you've been in, you haven't got me beat!

Go get him, Urameshi!

Show him how many guys you've defeated!

Above, huh?

Beneath!

All right!

The "Internal Organ k*ller" off
of Urameshi's finishing-move menu!

I couldn't eat for a week
after he did that to me.

Come on! Get out of there, you b*stard!

You can't tell me
you've gone and drowned, right?

My, my...

My clothes got all torn up.

What?

Awesome! He's covered with scars!

He wasn't kidding
about all of those battles!

You've got the wrong idea, Kuwabara-kun.

These are scars that I brought
upon myself during my training.

I don't have a single scar
that was given to me by an opponent.

He's got a good build.

It felt like I was hitting a nice thick
tire when I was pounding on him.

Now then, the real fun begins!

At last, the fight
between Yusuke and Sensui is underway.

However, we haven't even begun
to see Sensui's true abilities.

What is this guy, some monster?

After receiving that kind
of an attack from Urameshi,

he hasn't taken any damage at all!

What's worse,

this b*stard tells Urameshi that
there's no way he can win the fight!

If you're going to babble, you can do it

after Urameshi's punches
have turned your lights out!

Next time, "Yusuke's Tough Battle!
A Decisive Difference."

Don't you go get beat by that blowhard!
