01x104 - Igai na Teian - Makai no Hendo

[bunniefuu]

It has already been a year since
Yusuke came to the Demon Realm.

He had made great leaps
forward in his power,

and earned the trust of Raizen's men.

And then, the time of Raizen's
passing had finally come.

The balance that had maintained structure
between the three nations was broken,

and the Demon Realm was faced with chaos.

Hokushin, could you show
me the way to someplace?

The way to Yomi's nation.

"An Unexpected Proposal--
A Change in the Demon Realm."

Yomi! Hey, you hear me?!

We're coming there now!
Put some tea on for us!

Kurama, your friend is quite
an interesting character, huh?

But this is sooner than we expected.
Do you think that Raizen is dead?

Probably.

Hmm... For now, let's see what
kind of tack this Urameshi takes.

Yoda, prepare some tea and snacks.

Yes, sir.

Tell the sentries to escort him here.

When they do, you will measure
Urameshi's spectral power rating.

Understood.

Kurama, arrange for soldiers to
be standing by in the next room.

I may give the order to execute him,
depending on the move he makes.

I'm counting on you, Military Chancellor.
This is about to get interesting.

Yusuke, a year later,
you haven't changed at all.

Based on your "yes" or "no,"
we're about to have an all-out w*r.

Execution order?

So soon?

Well, let's see how it goes.

I'm looking forward to seeing
how Yusuke deals with Yomi.

But still...

Besides, you all want to go see
Yusuke after all this time, right?

You could say that.

Yeah, we wanna see him!
I sure wanna see him!

All right!

200,000 Points...?!

MOBILE FORTRESS MUKADE

Hiei!

I'm going with you. I'd like to see this
Urameshi Yusuke with my own eyes.

Suit yourself.

It was surprisingly easy
to infiltrate this place.

They know, and are intentionally
letting us sneak in.

Look, over there.

Here is some tea.

Ah, thanks.
Sorry to put you to any trouble.

Mukuro is--

I know. Keep your eyes open.

Yes, sir.

"Oh boy! It's been so long, but he doesn't
look like he's changed a bit!"

"But he is strong! I can sense
his power, blasting away!"

"So, what do we do? If the worst
should happen, do we defeat Yusuke?"

"Up until a little while ago, I thought
we wouldn't have any choice."

"I wanted to do what I could to
fight Yusuke, more than anything.

However, that's not how it's shaping up."

"You don't have to go writing that out!"

"To be honest, I'm not sure what to do.

I'd like to hear
everyone else's opinions."

"In the worst-case situation,
who will you side with, Yomi or Yusuke?"

"Yusuke!"

"Don't even ask!"

I'M STILL THINKING

YUSUKE

MANY THANKS

NO SWEAT

Getting right to it,
what is your business here?

Be candid with me.

I'm not very good at sounding others out.

Raizen is dead. And, since I've become
the king, I wanted to exchange greetings,

as well as see the opposing
general with my own eyes.

He's being too honest!
It's like he's asking to be k*lled!

Then, since we have this rare opportunity,

I wonder if you would
hear out my requests.

Yomi's Yoki has changed!
Is he going to strike?

Idiot! You're right in the palm
of your enemy's hand!

Before that, I brought
a present for you. Take it.

Present? What is he planning?
He couldn't be...!

Peace talks? This guy's
unexpectedly slippery.

I'm grateful. Would you
mind opening it for me?

Judging from the sound,
I'm guessing they're stones...

You won't mind if these
scatter a little, will you?

Th-Those are our nation's
national treasure,

the Rurimaru stones! Yusuke-san...!

I mean, King! Just what were you...?!

These are peace talks, all right.
That makes things easier for me.

I thank you for such a valuable gift.

Ah, the feel of this...
It is a genuine Rurimaru.

So, what do you have
in mind by this gift?

There's a name inscribed here...
It's Mukuro...

That one is Kurama... To'o...

Hokushin... Hiei...

You mean, there's one
on all of these stones?

You can read them? I'm impressed!
Do you know what it is I want to do?

You've flawed our national treasure!
What were you thinking?!

When Raizen died, I thought about things.

But I'm a moron, and not fit
to be the head of some nation.

So, I decided to do this
the way I wanted to.

Those are to be used as lots in a lottery.

Let's just have ourselves a fight,
and leave our nations out of it.

Let's all go back to
being our own selves,

use the lottery to decide match-ups,
and have ourselves a tournament!

And whoever has won at the end of it

will be the supreme commander
of the Demon Realm.

Everyone who loses will have
to follow them. No matter what.

There isn't any change in his Yoki,
or in his body. Is he serious?

You expect me to agree to
such a ridiculous proposal?!

You're on!

What are you guys doing here?!

Yusuke!

Yo, Jin! How have you been?!

Chu! You, too, huh? Damn!

Yomi, I'm sorry, but from now on,
I'm just plain Kurama.

However, if you don't agree to
go along with Yusuke's proposal,

we're going to side with
Yusuke right here and now.

Kurama! Why, you...!

He truly is an idiot!

Hiei...

Tell everyone else that as of today,
Mukuro is just an ordinary Yokai.

I like that.

I've got nothing to do with the nation.
I'm just plain Mukuro. I'm with him, too.

That rotten Mukuro...!

I guess I've got no choice.

From that moment, it took only half a day

for the news to spread to all areas of
the Demon Realm of Raizen's death,

and of the dissolution of
Mukuro and Yomi's nations.

It was decided that a tournament

involving the entire
Demon Realm would be held.

He will awaken in
another two or three days.

The son of Yomi-sama...

Shura-sama...

We'll begin his combat education
immediately once he awakens.

We don't have much time, after all.

What is Shura's current
spectral power rating?

He's above 80,000 points. I'm afraid to
imagine what he'll be like all grown up.

In any case, he is my ace card.

National battles notwithstanding,

the match between me
and Mukuro will be everything.

There is no one else who can even
come close to our spectral powers.

However, if I can take Shura,
who carries my blood,

and raise his spectral power
rating above 500,000 points,

we can escape our rivalry, and Shura and I
will most certainly defeat Mukuro.

And then, the Demon Realm
would be ruled by my hand!

Even supposing this tournament
is held, nothing will change that.

Isn't that right, Shura?

What's with you guys?
Don't glare at me like that.

Raizen left it up to me,
so I did what I wanted to.

We can't do anything about
what has already been done.

The tournament is the issue.

The four of us will offer you
what little help we can.

Hey, just a minute! What kind of
sneaky maneuvering are you up to?

It is a proper strategy.

Do you believe that Mukuro and Yomi
have genuinely dissolved their nations?

At the tournament,

it is likely that they will use
whatever means they can.

It's true that Yomi is pretty shady,

but I'm sure that
Mukuro will fight seriously.

You saw Mukuro, didn't you?

I do not believe that was sincere.

A pleasure to meet you, Son of Raizen.

Plant these in front of his grave for me.

While you're there,
tell him I said he's a fool.

Anyhow, we will do our best
to ensure that you win.

If that is what we decide for ourselves,

you won't have any
problem with that, will you?

That's not the idea! What I want us
all to do is... How can I put it...?

If we may...?!

Intruders!

Who are you guys?

We heard that Raizen was dead,
so we hurried here from the countryside.

I'm Enki. This is my wife, Koko.

What did you have to do
with the former king?

We were fighting pals a long time ago.

We were strong, but he
was much, much stronger.

If Mukuro or Yomi now were to see
him then, they'd wet themselves.

Until all of a sudden, some human woman
took his spine the hell away from him!

I had been attacking him
since long before then!

What happened to my standing then?!

You reek of booze.

For crying out loud, I got so
desperate that I wound up with him!

Although, he does treat me well.

Raizen, you dumbass!!

I'm sorry about this.
She's been drinking for quite a while.

N-Now, now! Come on,
come on, behave yourself!

Shut your hole, you old fart!

Why?! I never got to beat
you even once in a fight!

You promised me, you know!
You said I could come at you at any time!

Ah, and she said she
wasn't going to cry, too.

When we heard that Raizen was in retreat,

and had given up both
fighting and eating humans,

we were so hot-blooded that,
no matter what,

we couldn't find any reconciliation.

We somehow just kind of lost
heart ourselves, you know?

And at some point, we forgot
about fighting and went on living.

We never imagined that he was thinking
about the future of the Demon Realm.

He was someone who never
told us anything important.

If we may...?!

Again?! What in the
world is going on here?

I thought they'd be coming before long.

Make them welcome. They all
used to be Raizen's fighting pals.

They all liked Raizen.

You're Raizen's son, right?

You can tell?

Sure, you look just like him.
Maybe you don't notice it yourself.

-Hokushin...
-Yes?

All I did this last year was
exchange punches with Raizen,

and to be honest, it never
felt like he was my pop...

But for some reason, I'm still glad.

Right now, I'm awfully glad.

Okay, everyone, that's enough carrying on.

There's another reason why
you've all come together, right?

All right...

Hey, Son of Raizen!

We're going to enter the tournament too!

I should warn you,
I'm not pulling any punches!

Don't go blaming me if you die!

And even if I happen to run into you,
I'm going to fight like I mean it!

Of course you will. Loving and fighting
are two whole different worlds.

All right, everyone! As much
as we regret Raizen dying,

let's have ourselves
one hell of a tournament!

All right, shall we see if
these rusty old bodies of ours

can still put out after all this time?

Yeah!

Ready, set...!

Awesome!

These guys are awesome!

That's really quite
something there, isn't it?

Yeesh! That's amazin'!

What is it?! What's going on?!

It's coming from the direction
of Raizen's nation.

There are multiple readings...

The spectral power rating
is impossible to calculate!

I-Impossible! Such spectral power...!

Each one of them is a match for me...

No, even greater...!
I wasn't planning on this!

Who knew these guys were hiding
themselves, without any ambitions?

But then, what's this
inspirational feeling I'm having?

Is my blood of old beginning to stir?

Is it saying to forgo these petty strategies
and try my power as an individual?

Yomi-sama!

What is it?

It's Shura-sama!

What?

Shura, you're having the same
feeling that I am, aren't you?

Yoda...

Yes?

You're free to go now. Do as you like.

Not even I can tell
who is going to win now.

Y-You're not saying you're seriously
going to abandon the nation

and fight in the tournament!

Sure enough.

I'm a fool, too.

Yusuke's unexpected
proposal was a tournament

that would draw in
the entire Demon Realm.

But who will be the winner?

The tournament is fast approaching.

The Demon Realm
Unification Tournament is underway.

Everyone must have improved
themselves since last time,

and I'm looking forward to fighting!

Even so, I can't let myself get careless.

There are so many strong
guys in the Demon Realm!

I guess I'll get fired up
and have a go at this!

Next time, "Great Battle in the Demon
Realm-- The Preliminaries Commence!"

The Other World's
not watching for nothing!
