Yu Yu Hakusho Volume 10 Rhionae rhionae@hotmail.com http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Island/3226/ Page 7 Title: The Awakening of the Youko!!! Crowd: Shit, we can't see anything!!! We want to know what's happened!!! Uraura: Eh... That's you...?! You are... ...the famous... the abominable and terrifying bandit...!!! Youko Kurama?!! Page 8 Title: The Awakening of the Youko!!! [Image of Minamino Shuuichi with Youko Kurama's face in the background] Page 9 Kuwa: I didn't think that... Which one of the two is emitting this power?! Hiei: It's Kurama. You really understand nothing. Pff That must have been the other fool who triggered his restoration. The true identity of Kurama. Kuwa: He's really like that?!! Hiei: I've never seen him so powerful. I would like to measure myself against him. Kuwa: You're really incorrigible... Page 10 [Flashback to Hiei introducing Kurama to Gouki, before they stole the three treasures from Reikai (see volume 3)] Gouki: That's him, Kurama? Ha ha ha, a real loser! I was told that Kurama has silver hair. A merciless guy who emits a fabulous power... And here I find him reincarnated into this little wimp! Show me who you are! You don't seem very believable. Kurama: I know that it doesn't seem possible, but... Kurama, Minamino Shuuichi and I are all one person. Gouki: What?! You take me for a fool?!! We must steal the treasures of the darkness!!! You think perhaps we're going to succeed by associating ourselves with this loser?! Page 11 [Still in flashback] Hiei: If you have nothing else in mind, you can measure yourself against him. Me, it doesn't trouble me to continue with the winner. Gouki: Good idea, I was starting to miss the blood. Urps Kurama: It's true that I don't emit as much strength as you were before. I must now protect those who are dear to me. I will certainly return to myself before I get much stronger. You want to try it? Gouki: Heh heh heh, I'm pleased. You're strong, hey? [End flashback] Hiei: Kurama, you lied. Since that day you have never been the same. You've become more powerful than before!!! Page 12 YKurama: Good... How am I going to cook you? Koto: The stand is full of smoke, we can't see anything!!! We're waiting for a commentary from the arbitrator!!! Juri: Eh... Ah... [Youko Kurama pulls out a seed from his hair, growing it in his hand] Page 13 YKurama: Should I ask it to eat you? Uraura: Waah Ahhh! Help!!! I'll do anything you want!!! YKurama: So, talk! What is the secret of the smoke? Uraura: I... I swear to you that I know nothing!!! It's Shishiwakamaru who gave it to me! Page 14 YKurama: You must talk, I'm listening! If I feel that you're lying, I'll tell it to eat you... Uraura: I'm nothing, not even Urashima! I was promised that if I participated in the tournament I would be given one thing that I was looking for!! It was the same for Makintarou and Kuromomotarou... [A sword comes flying] Page 15 [The sword pierces Uraurashima in the neck, he transforms into a pig-like monster as he falls] YKurama: That was a payoff... [thinking] Someone succeeded in breaking through the smokescreen with a sword?! Kuwa: The smokescreen is clearing!!! [The smoke clears, and Shishiwakamaru is shown to have thrown the sword] Page 16 Koto: Shishiwakamaru's sword just broke the barrier!!! But what is revealed?! Kuwa: Ah! That's?!! Hiei: [Thinking] The old Kurama... YKurama: The smokescreen... It's dissipating... [Youko Kurama transforms back into Minamino Shuuichi] Page 17 Kurama: [In Minamino Shuuichi form, walking off the ring] ... Koto: What?!! That's Kurama?!! Incredible!!! It was about Kurama!!! Shishi: That good-for-nothing is one more traitor... In short... It's not so astonishing that that loser was impressed by so much strength. And so shall we continue the match? [Throws dice] Three against two, this is becoming interesting. Page 18 [Yusuke's lying on the floor of the cave] Yusuke: [Thinking] Some... ...water... Page 19 [Tries to move his fingers] Yusuke: [Thinking] Shit!!! The least movement pains me... I have the impression that I'm breaking up. I can move more... Guys, I'm sorry... Looks like I'm fucked... I'm starting to lose consciousness... If I sleep... That risks being definitive... Before the end... Just one taste of water... [Flapping sounds] Page 20 [Drops of water land on Yusuke's cheek, dribbling into his mouth.] Yusuke: [Thinking] So good! It's been so long... Some... Water? How?! [Opens his eyes] Puu: [Looking as wounded as Yusuke] Puu? Puu!!! Page 21 Yusuke: [thinking] For me? Some water? [Puu flies off, flapping his ears, returning with cheeks full of water] Yusuke: Fool... [Thinking] Have you seen the state you're in? [Puu hits the wall and flops to the ground] Puu: Puu [looks sadly at the spilled water] ... [Flies off again for more] Page 22 [Puu falls to the ground] Yusuke: ?! [Remembers Koenma's words: Koenma: That monster is your alter ego. It feeds off of your soul weakens, it will die... Don't forget that and be warned...] Puu: Puu [Struggles to its feet one more] Yusuke: Heh... Him, my alter egi? [Puts one hand firmly on the ground to lever himself up] Not obvious... Sorry to be so pitiful... Urgh Page 23 Yusuke: Wargh!!! [Stands up] It's not your place to suffer instead of me!!! Page 24 [Genkai is sitting with her back against a tree trunk] Yusuke: Old lady... Can you treat him? [Holding Puu in his arms] Please... Genkai: You've passed the test... You should be grateful to him. Page 25 [Yusuke is lying on the ground under the tree] Genkai: Try to sleep a little. When you wake, you will have to face the real test. Crowd: Finally the leader of the team! [The dice have landed on Shishiwakamaru and 'free'] Shishi: Well? Whose turn is it? Page 27 Title: Shishiwakamaru's Strike!!! Page 28 Shishi: Well, who is it? Who wants to die? Crowd: Yeah!!! We want one of them done in!!! We want to see them die one by one!!! Shishiwakamaru's fangirls: Yesss!!! We're with you!!! Go Shishiwakamaru! Yes!!! He'll rid us of Urameshi!!! Page 29 Fangirl#1: I want him to spare Kurama!!! Fangirl#2: What?!! You're in love?! Koto: Hmmm... Each team has their groupies! It's really magnificent... Kuwa: Can't those girls shut up a little? They have no respect for our fight. Shishi: Eh, loser-face?! What makes you say that? You can't do crap staying over there? Kuwa: Me? Loser-face?! Hiei: [Thinking] Good throw... Page 30 Hiei: I'll take him. He seems to be the toughest of the band. Kurama: No, I'll go. You need to recover for the final. Hiei: Be frank with me. You want to know the secret of the smoke? Kuwa: Calm yourselves!!!!! After this provocation... It's only fair that I do him in!!! Kuwa, Hiei & Kurama: ... Page 31 Kurama: We'll do this calmly... We'll decide by janken. Kuwa: As you will. Hiei: What's that, janken? Kurama: The fist, that's the rock. That, that's the scissors. The paper wraps rock... Kuwa: Beginners don't come out with the fist. Kurama: Kuwabara, don't teach him such stupid things! ?: Janken pon!!! [Hiei and Kurama both throw 'rock', while Kuwa throws 'paper'] Kuwa: Yes!!! I've won!!! Hiei: Damn!!! You showed your choice after the others!!! Note: [re Kuwa] The kid. Kuwa: Urps For a beginner, you have some notions... Page 32 ?: After about ten attempts... It's finally Kuwabara who's won. Kuwa: The janken is no secret for me!!! Note: see YYH volume 3 ?: The poor guy... He doesn't stand a chance! Kuwa: What dogs!!! Me, I'm a player of quality! [thinking] Miss Yukina is in the stands. I have no choice. I must win!!! Page 33 [The girls turn up at the old arena only to find it completely empty] Page 34 ?: But that's not possible!!! We're going to be still waiting for a long time? ?: Perhaps we've mistaken the day? Botan: No, they said it was at 5pm Note: Perhaps it was postponed? Yukina: They are late... Keiko: It's true that Kurama was saying that the venue was going to change. Atsuko: That must be it!!! Shizuru: And do you know where? Botan & Keiko: [sweatdropping] Aahhh... Note: They're irritating... Atsuko: We're going to end up looking for them!!! What's to be done?!! [A shot of the island - showing that the old arena is at the opposite end of the island to the new one] Page 35 ?: Meanwhile Urameshi Team played janken... Shishiwakamaru is ready for combat! [Shishiwakamaru is holding a veil over his head] Page 36 Shishi: This is going to be fast. You really have a very ugly face. Note: [re Kuwa] He's looking serious... Kuwa: You're a playboy... Juri: Let's go!!! Kuwa: [attacking] I'm going to transform you into sashimi!!! Page 37 [Shishiwakamaru dodges easily using his cloak] Kuwa: A blinding technique?! ?! Page 38 Kuwa: [Wrapped in Shishiwakamura's cloak - which is doing strange things to him] What's thaaaat? Waaaahhh Page 39 Kurama & Hiei: !!! Juri: ? Kurama: I can't sense Kuwabara's energy... Juri: Is he out of the ring? Can I start the countdown? Shishi: Don't bother. He's disappeared. I don't know where he was sent. Page 40 Shishi: Just so you know, he was asking for it. The spirit of the cloak of darkness! He must be wandering around in Makai or elsewhere... In the end, it mustn't be amusing for him. Juri: Kuwabara has been carried off! The winner is Shishiwakamaru! Crowd: Kyaah! Page 41 Crowd: Yeah!!! One less!!! Rid us of the other two!!! Yeah!! We want to see them decapitated!!! Koto: Incredible... He's made Kuwabar disappear!!! Shishi: Now, I'm going to try to please the public... Page 42 [In the air above the old arena, a dark gate opens] Page 43 [It's raining Kuwabara. He hits the ground] Kuwa: Aieee... The bastard!!! What did he...? [looks around] ? How? I know this place... The stadium? Girls: What!!!!!!! Page 44 Botan: Kuwabara?! What are you doing here? Atsuko: You just fell from the sky!!! Kuwa: Miss Yukina!!! And her friends?! Shizuru: How's that? Her friends? Moron! Kuwa: But, Miss? What are you doing here? Note: [re Kuwa] Too amorous... Yukina: We mistook the stadium. Kuwa: I'm lucky to have found you like this! Ha ha! Page 45 Shizuru: I see that you lost again. Note: Harsh blow! Kuwa: Eh... I was just caught a little by surprise and... Shizuru: [Smacking Kuwa over the head] Decidedly, you are always too naive!! Fool!!! [Beats up Kuwabara] Keiko: [sweatdropping] I think that she must be stronger than he is... Kuwa: Good! I can serve you well as a guide, follow me! Page 47 Title: Unmasked!!! Crowd: Yeah, continue like that!!! Wreck them!!! A dismemberment!!! We want a dismemberment!!! In pieces!!! Shishi: Agreed, the public is king. Crowd: Death!!!! Death!!! Koto: The public are demanding a massacre!!! Who will follow them?! [The dice land on 'free' and 'The Mask'] Page 48 Shishi: I volunteer. And for you? Hiei: In the absence of Yusuke and the mask, it's mine. Kurama, you agree? Mask: [appearing behind Hiei and Kurama] Just a minute!!! Page 49 Title: Unmasked!!! Mask: It seems to me that it's my turn. Page 50 Shishi: !!! Hiei: But who are you? You're not the same as the other time. The other emitted a strong force. You can hide your face, but not your power. Mask: I've transferred it to Yusuke. Page 51 Hiei: ! Kurama: [thinking] One would say it's the same person, with their strength removed... Juri: Your adversary islate. Any objections? Shishi: No. Unless, one! He doesn't seem up to the task!!! I have the impression that they've screwed me over. You seriously reckon you can vie with me? Ridiculous!!! Juri: Let's go!!! Page 52 Shishi: [attacking] I'm going to tear off your mask!!! There!!! Koto: Shishiwakamaru carries on blow after blow!!! The Mask has a hard time dodging!!! Page 53 Koto: He's progressively taking the upper hand!!! Mask: [thinking] He's fast! Shishi: Your power is null, you've lost your speed. You're not the same as the last time!!! Show me who you are!!! Mask: !!! Kurama & Hiei: !!! [The mask is ripped to shreds] Crowd: !!! Page 54 [Genkai stands in the arena, unmasked] Crowd: That's not the same!!! That's not the girl!!! Hiei: I doubted myself... Shishi: Heh heh heh... Genkai: ... [thinking] I didn't think I'd lost so much strength... Shishi: Arbitrator!!! Take note! They used a mask to change the contestant! The rules say a player may not be changed except in case of death. If Urameshi or the girl is dead, we want some proof! Page 55 Crowd: Yeah, that's not the girl from the earlier match!!! Kill them!!! Kill them!!! Death to the cheaters!!! Urameshi is a bastard!!! Koto: One must think badly of this!!! Crowd: They've manipulated us!!! Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! Koto: The match is momentarily suspended. Wait! The management has just transmitted its decision to me. Page 56 Crowd: Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! Announcer: You must calm yourselves, please! A word on the deliberation of the jury... We have noted the discrepancy within the Urameshi Team... But the verdict is... Not to sanction, the match can continue!!! Note: [re announcer] My kind of girl Page 57 Crowd: I disagree, we want to see those responsible!!! They're in league with the management! Cheaters!!! Announcer: You must calm yourselves, please!!! Calm down!!! Mr. Toguro will explain the reason for this decision. Youkai#1: Why Toguro? Toguro: I'm going to explain. Youkai#2: Listen and shut up! Page 58 Toguro: One would say that the rules have not been respected, but... Even though she arrived late, she didn't commit an infraction. Since... That woman is the same person as the young girl. Crowd: The same person?!! Toguro: The Reikoha used at full power restores its user to an optimal physical state. Clearly, we are dealing with the same person. Are you satisfied? Madam Genkai...? Page 59 Crowd: Genkai?!! That woman so dreaded?!! ?: Genkai, the master of the Reikoha!!! Crowd: Urameshi hides his game from us well!!! How is it that Toguro knows all that?! Shishi: Genkai... [grinning madly] Here you are, the famous Genkai!!! I think that it's my lucky day!!! Page 60 Shishi: To see you, one would say that I had business with a simple old woman... If you are really Genkai, that's finally worth the trouble of me fighting!!! The situation is different... I'm going to fight at full power! [pulls sword hilt apart, the two parts held together by some type of cord] Hiei: Hm? Kurama: What is it, that sword? Page 61 Shishi: An object that I truly like, the Makokumeizanken!!! Even the famous Benkei preferred to step aside in the face of this sword... This sword calls the spirit of the dead... It also puts the one who possesses it in danger!!! A little demonstration... Before your grand journey into the darkness!!! Page 62 Kurama: He needs to show proof of a great mistrust... That sword is emitting a greater force than Shishiwakamaru. Genkai: [thinking] If I concentrate all my strength in the Reigun... ...That only makes three shots of th Reigun!!! That's all that remains for me to fight with...!!! Shishi: [drawing a semi-circle on the ground with the tip of his sword] Are you ready?! Page 63 Kuwa: [Leading the girls through the woods] We're nearly there. ?: If it turns out that we've lost... Kuwa: Don't panic, Hiei must be keeping them busy. Yukina: That boy is very quiet... He has a sharp look. Kuwa: The kind of guy who will never know love!!! Be careful of him, he might hurt you! Yukina: Yes... Botan: Kuwabara, enough!!! Page 64 Botan: You don't have the right to talk about him like that!!! Kuwa: Why not? It's true, no? Botan: There are some things that you don't have the right to say! Hiei is really... [Botan remembers Hiei's words, imagining him as a Hiei-bat with flapping wings] Hiei-bat: Unless you want to die, don't say anything... Kuwa: What? Botan: [turning away] I'm still making blunders... Kuwa: You're sure you're alright? Shizuru: Hm? [sees a person sitting propped against a tree] But, that's...? Page 65 ?: Yusuke!!! Kuwa: Erps! He's covered in blood and mud!!! [thinking] What happened to him? Atsuko: He's always training in his sleep. Kuwa: One would say that he's in a state of permanent hibernation. Note: [Re Kuwa and Atsuko] They don't seem to be worried... Kuwa: It's not far, I'll carry him. [The group head towards the arena, the dome of which is visible above the treeline] Page 67 Title: The Call of the Dead!!! [Toguro Team are watching the match in the arena] ?: I have a bad feeling about this. That's really Genkai? Page 68 Karasu: This is going to be very limited... I think that that one shouldn't go against Shishiwakamaru. Bui: ... Toguro: Urameshi must have the answer... Crowd: Let's see... All goes as planned... Toguro: ...why she would risk dying... ...before the final. Page 69 Title: The Call of the Dead!!! Genkai: [thinking] Not before my fight against Toguro!!! I can't waste my last strength. Page 70 Koto: He's brandishing his sinister Makokumeizanken!!! But, how is he going to use it?!! Crowd: [with hands on their heads in pain] Those cries are horrible... They're ripping my head apart... It's coming from the sword! The cries are coming from the sword!!! Page 71 Crowd: Raahhhh!!! Ahhh! My head!!! Koto: The cries of the sword are trying to kill the spectators in the stands! Shishi: Those who can't fight are suffering from the call of darkness. I find this song very agreeable. What do you say, Genkai?!! Page 72 Shishi: [attacking] Take that, old scab!!! Page 73 Shishi: Bakutodokushokuso!!! [Ghostly skulls fly off into the arena] Page 74 Crowd: [Seeing the skulls headed towards them] !!! [The skulls kill people in the crowd] Aarrgh [Three skulls are headed towards Kurama and Hiei, one towards Toguro. All three bat them away with ease.] Page 75 [Genkai is nowhere in sight] Shishi: The Mateki is a force issued by the freeing incantation of onja... It amplifies and accompanies the cries, which are the same concentrated in a multitude of offensive spirits. Here is the strength of the Makokumeizanken. Even I who was manipulating it, I lost some strength there. One who took it, cannot come through... Page 76 Genkai: On the condition it reaches its target. Shishi: You mean to say that just now... ...You sounded out my forces? Genkai: I'm getting old... I was forgetting a special attack that I have in reserve. Shishi: What? Because you successfully dodged?!! This time, you're not going to escape it!!! Page 77 Majority of Crowd: [making a run for it] Out of the question!!! We're all going to end up passing there!!! Yeah, my life is more important!!! Koto: Panic has seized the public! The spectators are staring to flee!!! Me too... I'm getting to shelter!!! Remaining spectators: Look at all those weaklings!!! It's a unique occasion to enjoy the death of Genkai. Koto: There are some spectators who prefer to stay... The fight continues!!! Page 78 ?: There it is! I can see the stadium. Hey? [Kuwa and the girls arrive just in time to see the mass exodus of the crowd] Kuwa: They all seem pale, they're all pulling out! Let's see what's happened. Crowd who ran away: What a shit, that Shishiwakamaru!!! He didn't hesitate to massacre the public with his attacks on that idiot! Page 79 Crowd: With an attack like that, it's the end for Genkai. Kuwa: ! [thinking] Genkai?!! The Mask?! That was her!!! Some victims amongst the public... The fight seems very sever. [Aloud] It would be better of you remain here. I'm going to see what's happened! [Pushing through the crowds] Let me pass!!! [Thinking] The old lady can't die so easily... ?! Page 80 [Shishiwakamaru is swinging his sword over his head, a wall surrounds both him and Genkai] Kuwa: What's that?! The cries are transforming into a wall?!! Shishi: The Onko shobakuheki!!! You can confront me or try to save yourself... Heh heh... This is the moment I've been waiting for. Yes, the moment to remove those who have defended so well!!! Page 81 Genkai: You seem to have good willpower. You hate the good so much? Shishi: Of course!!! Violence honours the bad, it's an action of absolute purity!!! I will not let anyone sully my values! Genkai: Similar to me. Let's get on with it. Shishi: [attacking] You're screwing with me?!! I'm going to break you in two!!! Page 82 [Genkai catches Shishiwakamaru's sword in between her hands. The energy from the sword flows into Genkai, restoring her to her youthful form.] Shishi: But... Page 83 Genkai: Reiko kyohansho!!! [The energy is sent back towards Shishiwakamaru] Page 84 [Shishiwakamaru is knocked backwards] Genkai: I can't waste my strength. I just returned your own force. Shishi: [thinking] She absorbed the attacks and fused them to return them to me... [Aloud] You are... You are the devil... Page 85 Young Genkai: Contrary to what you say, I don't defend the good. It happens that there are certain bandits I don't appreciate. Shishi: [lying flat on his back] Well said... Under your actual appearance... I could fall in love with you... Crowd: Did you see that? It's going t be difficult to fight Genkai. Toguro: I know the solution. Stronger than spells, the ability of strength!!! Page 87 Juri: Victory for Urameshi Team!!! Title: The Boss, Onji!!! Crowd: She stopped his sword in her bare hands and returned his attack to him...!!! One more. Hiei: Very strong!!! Page 88-9 [SD images depicting the matches in this round so far] Narration: First match Hiei against Makintarou. Second match Hiei against Kuromomotarou. Third match Kurama against Uraurashima. Fourth match Kuwabara against Shishiwakamaru. Fifth match Genkai against Shishiwakamaru. Title: The Boss, Onji!!! Page 90 Onji: And up... For my side, it's pointless to roll the dice... You want to throw the same dice? Hiei: As you will. We are all ready fro combat. Onji: As you like. [Die lands on Kuwabara.] Page 91 Onji: Well, well. Juri: Kuwabara was just chosen!!! He isn't here any more, so we'll rethrow the die. Kuwa: Hey, girl!!! A minute!!! How's that 'he isn't here any more'?!! Juri: Erps!!! Kuwa: Kuwa the handsome has made good his return!!! As long as I'm not dead, I can participate!!! Onji: Pfff... Again this moron... He won't give me much trouble... Page 92 Kuwa: That's me the finisher!!! Shizuru: What a fool!!! [Running towards the arena] He said he was going to take a look! Atsuko: [running after her] Wait for me, I'm coming with you! Botan: Eh, wait for me!!! [looks back at Keiko supporting the sleeping Yusuke] Yukina, come with us! [Drags Yukina off after the others] Keiko: What?! And him, what do I do with him? Page 93 Botan: [giggling] You really want me to tell you? Keiko: [sweatdropping] So, what?! Atsuko: The occasion to take advantage of him. Keiko: I'm going to end up being angry!!! Girls: [waving goodbye] We'll be supporting the team! Good luck!!! Keiko: Eh!!! Wait...!!! Grrr... [Sits down under a tree, with Yusuke propped against it. Yusuke mumbles in his sleep] Keiko: Well...? Page 94 Keiko: [thinking] He's grown... In the beginning... We were almost the same height. [Yusuke starts to slip] Keiko: ! Page 95 [Yusuke's head lands on Keiko's breast.] Keiko: Eh, but... [thinking] Okay, it's alright this time... Youkai: Heh heh heh, that flirt? Page 96 Youaki#1: Eh, little girl? You don't want to play with us? Youkai#3: Well? Youkai: But that's... That's Urameshi!!! ... Heh heh heh heh Youkai#3: This is worth the risk Youkai#2: Yeah, we have a real chance!!! If we rid us of him... Ha ha! Page 97 Youkai#2: We'll be heroes!!! Diiiieee!!! Keiko: [Sheilding Yusuke in her arms] Noooo!!! [A yoyo knocks youkai#2 out] Youkai#1: What? Who's dared to disturb us?!! Chuu: Taking advantage of someone sleeping, you mark yourselves out. You are less than nothing. Page 98 Youkai: Ergh! Chuu and Rinku!!! ?: There are others?!! Youkai: Erps!!! Jin and Touya! Page 99 Youkai#1: Waarps... Youkai#3: We can do nothing against them!!! ?: Good day to all! [Youkai go flying] Keiko: Thankyou very much. Rinku: It was nothing, we were just passing by. Chuu: Liar! He's bee wanting to come and encourage him for days. Rinku: [pointing at Chuu] Since he lost to him, he hasn't stopped drinking. He whines, throws up, the whole deal!!! Chuu: Me, whining?! I'm going to get you... [Hauls Rinku up by his shirt] Rinku: I saw it all! Chuu: I don't remember that!!! Touya: Jin, what is it? Chuu: Hm? [Jin is looking at Yusuke worriedly] Page 100 Jin: He's become stronger still. Touya, Chuu & Rinku: Hmm... Chuu: I think that now I can do nothing against him. Rinku: You've already lost against him! [Chuu knocks Rinku over the head] Jin: [Pinching Yusuke's cheek] To see him asleep, one would say he's a kid. Yusuke: [Still asleep] Uhm, Keiko, you're annoying! Page 101 Yusuke: [Shifting so his head is in Keiko's lap] Good... That's going a little too far... [Keiko and Jin are sweatdropping] Touya: Heh. Chuu: Wah ha ha ha Rinku: Very funny!!! Chuu: Ha ha, an infernal couple! Dying of laughter!!! Keiko: That's going a little too far!!! [A loud noise is heard from the stadium] Touya: ! Chuu: What's that?! Page 102 Crowd: Woah! What is that?!! One would say it's a black hole!!! [Onji has Kuwa trapped in a black sphere] Kuwa: Shit!!! What's that?!! Koto: Kuwabara attacked swiftly, but... He is already a prisoner of this curious black sphere!!! Page 103 Botan: He's still in trouble... Onji: Here is the material of the angel of death. This fabric permits the creation of a space between this world and that of the dead. In my case, I haven't needed to use the magic to go there... I put together this team to assemble the strongest guys... I made their items to correspond to their personalities. Simple toys for their amusement. Kuwa: Noooo not again!!! [Kuwa goes bye-bye] Onji: Ho ho ho. Three more. I had thought that Shishiwakamaru would survive until the finale. Page 104 Atsuko: He was just recovering from the last trouble!!! Shizuru: Luck is always in his favour, he'll survive! Onji: Who's next? And if it's Kurama? If he wins against me, I want to tell him the secret of the smoke. [Die is rolled. It lands on the Mask.] Crowd: The Mask... Genkai again! She carries on the fights!!! Onji: Ho ho... How is it going? You seem very fatigued... Genkai: ... Page 05 Genkai: And if you would stop trying to pas as an old man? I'm not duped. I don't know who you are, but that doesn't take with me. Onji: Mmmm You have some talent, I'm still hiding my energy... Sorry, but I like disguising myself. Genkai: Pfff Onji: [pulling at his moustache] Agreed... I will satisfy your curiosity. Note: [pointing to old stadium] Kuwabara has been ejected again. Kuwa: ... Page 107 Title: The Man of a Thousand Faces!!! Crowd: It was a disguise!!! But who is he?!! The-artist-formerly-known-as-Onji: [peeling the mask off his face] The reason for this disguise? The old man is what I hate the most. It permits me to become even more aggressive in my fights.I have a real horror of old people! Page 108 The-artist-formerly-known-as-Onji: [Dressed as a clown, with painted face and a mask across half his face] I prefer to die before I become like that. But I must build my legend before then!!! Page 109 Title: The Man of a Thousand Faces!!! The-artist-formerly-known-as-Onji: A legend based on terror!!! Victory in this tournament is just the beginning!!! Hiei: Poor fool. The-artist-formerly-known-as-Onji: You are the witnesses of this construction. Later, you will recount my story. Page 110 The-artist-formerly-known-as-Onji: I am the Sublime Matouka Suzuki!!! The man of a thousand faces!!! When you speak of me... You mustn't forget to put 'Sublime' before my name. Koto: The flamboyant Suzuke contrasts enormously with the sombre Onji!!! We don't know what to say!!! The ambiance is becoming ridiculous! Genkai: You who are proud of your beauty... Why the mask? You have doubts about your face? Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: The legend is for eternity. There's no need to be too revealing. Page 111 Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: There are those who need to imagine the representation of those whom they fear or admire. For example, the appearance of God or the Devil... In a few centuries, the people will say "Suzuki was the most beautiful, the most formidable matouka there ever was." This perspective fills me with joy. Genkai: ... I hate guys like you. Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: I'm going to make you a promise!!! After my victory... I will massacre all the old people!!! As well as those who oppose me. Only those who submit to me will have the right to live!!! Page 112 Crowd: What does he take us for, that bastard?!! Submit to him?!! The hope of a fool!!! [Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki fires an energy blast at the crowd who objected.] Crowd: !! Page 113 [Crowd gets blown up] Crowd: Arrrrrrrrrghhh Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: I'm not joking. Hiei: Sad clown... Crowd: This is starting to get scary... We don't know who to encourage. Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: Genkai, It's you who will write the first chapter of my legend. The storyline: Genkai, the master of the Reikoha, is humiliated by the Sublime Suzuki! Page 114 Juri: Enough chatter, let's go!!! Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: I warn you, it's useless to try to return my strikes, don't be taken in. It doesn't matter if you put yourself on the same wavelength as me. I know how to adapt my fighting energy, it's useless to try to match it. Page 115 [Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki holds up one finger, focussing his energy] Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: Demonstration!!! Here you are incapable of sounding me out!!! Rainbow Cyclone!!! Page 116 [The attack hits the wall of the arena below the stands] Crowd: That's it?!! Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: A change of frequency and a concentration of seven colours!!! One of my favourite attacks, certainly the most beautiful! Juri: Genkai is out of play! I'm starting the countdown! Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: Well? Finished already? I would have liked to have shown you the 999 remaining attacks... Juri: One Two Page 117 [Genkai gets up out of the rubble] Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: Hmm? You're tough. Genkai: [Tossing the clown's nose ] It isn't bad, your little nose! And if I took off your mask? Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: ?! [His clown nose is gone...] You're going to get it... Kurama: Pfff Genkai: I told you that I'm not here to defend the good. I eliminate those who I don't like. Page 118 Genkai: I don't need magic for you!!! My fist will suffice!!! Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: [sweating] Old bitch!!! Genkai: To be worthy of the Reikoha, you must resist suffering. A suffering that is as bad as you could imagine. Compared to that, your attack is a fart in the air! Page 119 Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: I'm going to make you shut that big mouth!!! I don't need magic! [Starts growing muscles] Ha ha, what do you say to these muscles?! In the manner of Toguro, doesn't that make you fear me!!! Page 120 Genkai: You're strikes are no more than a bluff. I'll tell you why. You are a genius for preparing weapons for the other youkai. But that proves nothing at all. Shishiwakamaru is stronger than you. Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: Shut up!!! [Attacks] Page 121 [Genkai punches Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki, knocking him down] Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: ... Page 122 [Genkai jumps on Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki's back] Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: ... [Genkai kicks Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki under the chin, knocking him upwards] Page 123 Genkai: [Attacking] Yahhh! Page 124 [Genkai lands hundreds of blows on Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki:'s body.] Genkai: Damn...!!! Page 125 Beautiful Martial Artist Suzuki: [Whose face is now bloated and bleeding] Very... Mean... Genkai: I forgot about unveiling his face! Page 127 Crowd: [chanting] Togurooo Togurooo Koto: The public is particularly rousing!!! The public is chanting the name Toguro!!! Juri: And here they are, Team Toguro!!!!!! Title: The Law of the Strongest!!! Page 128 Crowd: Where is he, the biggest? They're also missing the fifth... They want to do the semi-final without the younger brother? Page 129 ToguroAni: My brother has been detained by an important matter. We'll go as three. Title: The Law of the Strongest!!! Akarenja: He's screwing with us. Momorenja: We have a chance. Page 130 ? [Re Yusuke] He's still sleeping! [In the room at the hotel, Yusuke's on the bed. Kuwabara, Chuu, Jin, Touya, Rinku and Genkai are present] Kuwa: After tomorrow it's the final! You're sure that he'll be okay? Rinku: Shouldn't you worry about yourself? Kuwa: Shut up! Genkai: Let him sleep. He will be obliged to wake himself... He knows that he doesn't have a chioce. Page 131 Genkai: Good... Kuwa: Eh?! But, where are you going? You've carried out two fights, have a rest! Genkai: ... I have an important matter. Genkai: Kuwabara. Kuwa: Hn? Genkai: Don't lose. [Leaves] Kuwa: Old lady? Page 132 [In the arena, Karasu has blown Midorenja's arms off] Karasu: And now? What will I tear off? Midorenja: Help! Karasu: And if I take your head...? Midorenja: Nooo!!! Mercy!!! Page 133 Karasu: [Leaping into the air] You are pathetic... Crowd: He's flying?!! Midorenja: !!! [Explosions follow the movements of Karasu's hands, blowing Midorenja up.] Page 134 Koto?: The victory is Karasu's. He exploded his opponent in a fearsome touch!!! Kurama: ... [Thinking] He must certainly send energy into the body of the other to make it explode... Bizarre... Koto: And now, Kirenja against Bui!!! Page 135 [Kirenja pulls out a big sword] Koto: Woah!!! An enormous sword!!! Kirenja: [Sweating] Heh heh heh, I was saving this for the final... You're going to see what I can do to your armour! What...? Page 136 [Bui pulls out a big axe. I mean a really big axe. Huge.] Page 137 Kirenja: [Thinking] Aha ha... The fool thinks that the size of his armour makes him strong! The sword is much faster... That's it, moron! Juri: Let's go!!! Crowd: What's going on in his head? He hasn't budged an inch! His axe must be too heavy! Kirenja: [thinking] He's mine!!! Page 138 [With one sweep of his axe, Bui sends Kirenja's body parts flying every which way.] Page 139 [Miscellaneous body parts land amidst the crowd] Crowd: Errrps Waahh Juri: [sweating] The victory is... Bui's... [Bui stomps out of the ring, his steps cracking the floor of the ring] Crowd: He seems so calm... So far from... He swept him away with one blow of his axe... Akarenja: Why is so formidable a guy under Toguro's orders? Page 140 ToguroAni: That's very simple. We, the Toguro brothers, are the strongest. Come in a three, that suits me!!! If you beat me, you'll go into the final. Crowd: Woah, Toguro is going to fight! That loser can fight without his brother?! Page 141 Akarenja: Toguro thinks that!!! For us, our way is to fight in a team. [The three remaining team members attack] Take that the Sanjusaso!!! Page 142 [Toguro Ani forms lots of spikes, sending them outwards from his body in all directions, piercing his opponents.] ToguroAni: No chance! My way is collective cleanup! Page 143 [Akarenja, Momorenja and Aorenja hit the floor. Akarenja and Aorenja get to their knees.] ToguroAni: Well, two remain? You are far from the final... I am generous. I'm going to let one live. You can ask me. Akarenja: Out of the question to demean ourselves like that... If you don't finish me now... I know where to find you. Aorenja: Help!!! Mercy!!! Let me live!!! Note: This is going to be bad... ToguroAni: My decision is made... Page 144 [Aorenja is impaled by Toguro Ani's flesh-spikes] Akarenja: ?! ToguroAni: On our team, we don't like quitters. Karasu and Bui are subject to our cause... Yet, I know that they dream of taking revenge upon us. My brother and I, we love this kind of guy. But... I'm different from my brother... I don't always keep my promises. [Sends a finger-spike through Akarenja's head] You too, you must die. [Licks finger] Hi hi hi Page 145 Koto: An abominable cruelty!!! Merciless!!! Team Toguro qualifies!!! Toguro: I think that the moment has come. [Toguro faces Genkai in a clearing in the woods.] Page 146 Title: The 50th Anniversary!!! Announcer: Team Toguro has just qualified!!! The final will take place in two days. Crowd: [Leaving the stadium] Team Toguro is still unbeatable. They're too amazing! Page 147 Youaki#1: [thinking] That's Kurama... Youkai#2: [thinking] He just observed his enemy... Waste of time! Kurama: [waling alone down the passageway, thinking] They're really strong... I can't use my actual power in the fight... [Remembering Genkai: Hiei, Kurama, your task is to observe closely their fight.] Hiei, he didn't watch, perhaps he has a reason. If only... ...I could retransform myself. Page 148 Title: The 50th Anniversary!!! [Karasu and Bui face Kurama in the passageway] Page 149 Karasu: You are the only observer? You have guts. Kurama: Not really. Karasu: Don't be nervous. There are two days before the four of you will die. Kurama: [sweating] Four? Page 150 Karasu: One of you will die today. You'll know in a little while. [Bui hits the wall.] Kurama: ?! [Thinking] Ahh! He disappeared! The moment I looked at Bui! But where...? [Delicate hands reach out to Kurama's hair.] Page 151 [Karasu's hands are around Kurama's throat.] Karasu: Your hair is damaged. You've come for treatment? It shouldn't be neglected. Humans are so fragile. Kurama: Bastard!!! [Hits back at Karasu] Page 152 Karasu: Heh heh... It was just for laughs. Despite your appearances, you are aggressive. Of the five, you are my favourite. When I kill one I like... It depresses me a little, as when I ask myself the reason for my existence. But from this sensation, I receive enormous excitement... It will go better in two days... [Karasu and Bui leave; Kurama is sweating heavily.] Page 153 Kurama: [thinking] I can't win... Not under these conditions. [In the woods] Toguro: Genkai... You have taken the blow of age. Page 154 Genkai: And you, you haven't changed. The same, after 50 years. Page 155 Genkai: I didn't think to find myself fifty years later in this tournament. What's more, you were an old ally. Why have you called me? Toguro: You cannot guess why? All simply to teach you of this cruelty. Why did you wear a mask? Did you want to hide yourself form me? Page 156 Genkai: What is it that you can do? This place is full of monsters. A good number of them would like to kill me. Toguro: You have already transmitted your powers? Genkai: ... I have given them to Yusuke. Toguro: [grinning] Well. I have no more need of you. Page 157 Togruo: More precisely, I can no longer suffer to see you. Your old age makes me pity you. Raahh [Muscles grow] Genkai: You haven't really changed. You don't have the fight in your head. Page 158 [Flashback to fifty years ago, young Genkai and human Toguro fighting side by side] Toguro: Our power is at its peak. I would like it if time stood still. I'm afraid... I'm afraid of the day when someone stronger than us will appear. I'm afraid that this day will come, my body won't be at its height. I don't want that. Man is vulnerable. Genkai: For you and me, old age is inevitable. That's the way it is... [End flashback] Page 159 Genkai: Me too, I'm angry. I can no longer stand to see a guy who sold his soul to the devil!!! Toguro: Ah, yes? In that case, one of us must die. Page 160 Toguro: [attacking] For us both, Genkai!!! Genkai: [thinking] Only three Reiguns remain. I must give it all!!! Page 161 [Yusuke sits up in bed, a serious expression on his face] Kuwa: Oh? Yusuke, you're awake? What's with the face?! Yusuke: Toguro is fighting. Kuwa: Hm? Yeah, he must be in training to prepare himself. Eh!!! Yusuke!!! Where are you going like that?!! Page 162 [Out the front of the hotel] Kuwa: Eh, Yusuke!!! The stadium, it's over there! [Yusuke runs of in the opposite direction.] He... He's fast!!! Page 163 Karasu: They're starting. [Genkai and Toguro exchange blows.] Page 164 [Toguro's left arm is hanging by a few shreds of skin and muscle from his shoulder; he drops a small piece of Genkai's muscle from his fingers.] Toguro: Would you like me to pull out your heart? You have made some progress in these engagements. Genkai: [thinking] Two more... Page 165 Title: The Terror of 80%!!! Toguro: At 45%, it's not enough... In that case... Page 166 Toguro: I'm going to show you my strength at 80%. Genkai: [thinking] His arm is regenerating itself...!!! Page 167 Title: The Terror of 80%!!! [Toguro's muscles grow even bigger] Page 168 [Toguro's muscles grow even bigger] Page 169 [Hiei is alone in the forest] Hiei: Where is this force coming from? [Jin, Chuu, Touya and Rinku are standing outside the hotel with Kuwa] Chuu: And Yusuke? Kuwa: [pointing] He suddenly made tracks over there. Jin: The wind has decided to run away... Page 170 [A _very_ muscled Toguro.] Page 171 Toguro: I only know of four guys who have survived at this strength. My brother, Karasu, Bui and you. You, you will soon die. [Attacks by flipping his wrist - blasts come from his fingers] Genkai: !!! [Dodges] Page 172 Toguro: Stronger than spells, pure force!!! The pressure created by my finger is a weapon!!! Page 173 [Toguro punches a huge hole in the ground] Page 174 [Genkai fires a Reigun at Toguro] Page 175 [Toguro blocks the blast with one hand.] Toguro: That's it...? That's it, your strength? I shouldn't have even waited for the inheritor of the Reikoha... I've wasted my time... Page 176 Toguro: I should have killed you another time. When you were still beautiful and strong. You are no longer Genkai. You're no more than a bag of bones. Page 177 Genkai: I am Genkai. It's not you who is going to kill me!!! Toguro: You're going to die. Genkai: [gathers power, thinking] I would like some strength... !!! Page 178-9 [Toguro runs up to attack] Genkai: [thinking] A strength different from his. I want to die well... But... I have need of this strength for my fight... To finish it...!!! Page 180-1 [Impact.] Page 182 [Yusuke has arrived. Toguro is still standing; Genkai is lying facedown on the ground.] Page 183 Toguro: You're late... Page 185 Title: I Will Not Forgive You For It!!! [Yusuke's in shock, Genkai is lying facedown in a pool of blood.] Page 186-7 Title: I Will Not Forgive You For It!!! [Yusuke faces Toguro] Page 188 [Image of Toguro and Genkai from 50 years ago.] Page 189 Toguro: Time is merciless. Genkai's last attack... Didn't even touch me. Yusuke: Old lady... [Yusuke disappears from Toguro's view.] Toguro: ! Page 190 [Yusuke is kneeling beside Genkai.] Toguro: [thinking] He's fast...! Yusuke: Old lady!!! Come on, shit! Hold on! Genkai: [slowly opening her eyes] ... It's... you, Yusuke... Yusuke: Old lady!!! Don't worry! I'll call the others!!! Kurama will heal you. Page 191 Genkai: Don't bother... I'm going to die... I knew it since the day... ...I received my invitation for this tournament... [Flashback] [Miyuki, Innaki and Goku-monki are at Genkai's shrine] Genkai: I won this tournament 50 years ago. I wished never to have to compete again. It seems to me that it's clear, tell that to Toguro. Miyuki: Urameshi is invited to participate in the tournament. You still refuse? Lord Toguro has always been waiting for opponents who are at their height. Kurama and Hiei are also invited. Lord Toguro said that he's waited fifty years for opponents who are worthy of him. He is delighted! [End flashback] Yusuke: You fought next to Toguro? Fifty years ago?! Page 192 Toguro: I preferred to leave humanity to become a youkai. So that I could perpetuate my strength for eternity. It was my dream when I won this tournament. My friends were clearly opposed... Genkai: Yusuke... We must all fight against time... He prefers to flee this fight... He has abandoned all, his soul, his friends... Yusuke... You mustn't make this mistake... Never forget for whom you must be strong... You aren't alone... Page 193 [Genkai's eyes close.] Yusuke: Old... Old lady!!! [Genkai is dead.] Page 194 Toguro: If the heir whom you are was a little earlier... ...You wouldn't have assisted in this sad scene... Page 195 Toguro: The path of combat does not permit any alternatives to becoming strong or dying. In choosing the past of resignation, she chose death. Yusuke: You're going to shut that filthy mouth. It's now that I'm going to kill you. Toguro: I'll repeat it one last time. This earthly thing is no more than a loser. Page 196 Yusuke: [attacking] You're going to get it!!! Page 197 [Toguro catches Yusuke's fist in his own.] Page 198 [Impact] Page 199 [Toguro punches Yusuke] Page 200-1 [Yusuke goes flying back, hitting a tree.] Page 202 Toguro: You're blow was of a good level. The best of the moment... Heh heh heh Here at last has come the day... ...when I can fight at 100%!!! Heh heh... Page 203 [Yusuke is slumped against the tree] Yusuke: Old lady... Page 204 [A single tear is falling from Puu's eye. Keiko picks him up.] Botan: What's happened, little Puu? [Kurama and Hiei's faces are shown in separate panels, both with serious expressions] Kuwa: Where did it come from, that terrible power? Genkai: [walking off into the distance] Don't lose...
