* Yuu Yuu Hakusho Manga Translation * * Volume 4: Challenge from the Youmajutsu * * Chapter nine (35): Man and rock as one . Genbu! * (Kurama gaps as a wound opens where Genbu struck) Yuusuke: Kurama - !! Genbu: My tail moves within the rocks as I merge with it! Yuusuke: Kurama! Genbu: My ability is to merge with the boulders and move freely within it. In other words, I am all around this house! You can't escape from me! Yuusuke: Kurama! Are you all right? Kurama: Don't worry, it's just a scratch. His surprise attack merely gave me a fright. Genbu: I'll see how stubborn you can be. The show's only starting now! Heheh... (he starts to sink into the ground) Kuwabara: Wow! His entire body's disappeared into the ground now! Yuusuke: He's completely camouflagued! Kuwabara: Won't be able to see where he's coming from! Genbu: HAH! Kurama: From behind again? Kuwabara: WOW! Attack from both sides! (Kurama leaps out of the way) Yuusuke: He's sinking in again! Kuwabara: Despicable! Genbu: Hahah! You won't win me by just escaping! Kurama: You're right! Then I'm doing it for real now. Yuusuke: Ro... Rose? Kurama, are you crazy? Kurama: Of course, this isn't an ordinary rose. ROSE WHIP!! Yuusuke: Ah... the entire room's filled with rose scent. Kuwabara: Flowery guy... He even speaks English! Genbu: Heheh... idiot! Against somebody whom you don't know the position of, do you really suppose you'll have a chance to wield the whip? Kurama: If that's how you feel, then attack me! Genbu: Interesting! I shall crush you with one move. Kurama: You're up there? Genbu: WHAT? How did you know my position? Kurama: Hmph! Your stench! In a room full of the scent of roses, your youki is abnormally stinky. Hiei: He got 'em! The thorns on the whip is sharp enough to slice through even metal! Kurama: (all right, brace yourself for a really corny translation...) Elegant Slashing Technique! (don't laugh, that's what it means...) Yuusuke: All right! He disected that fellow with one strike! Kuwabara: That guy was obviously terribly weak! Hiei: Idiot! Only Kurama could defeat him that easily. If it was you, you'd have died at the first attack. Kuwabara: You're really making me mad! What do you want? Let me tell you, I was third in Genkai's disciple tournament competition! Hiei: Who knows! Yuusuke: Hey, I'm gonna finish both of you off if you don't cut it out. Kurama: That's right, we have to move. (he thinks) Kurama: No... looks like it hasn't ended yet. Yuusuke: Eh? Genbu: It's no use! No matter how you try, I won't be defeated. Kuwabara: That fellow just regrouped after being dismantled! Does he have a regeneratable body? Genbu: Not only am I able to regenerate, I can even fire my body parts at will! Just like this! Horizontal Boulder Explosion! HAH! Kurama: CHI! Yuusuke: All right! He's really in iddy bitty bits now! Kuwabara: I don't think he's still able to... Genbu: Heheh... I've said it's of no use! You heard that? Yuusuke: Eh? It still didn't work? There's no way we can win him! Genbu: The game has ended! DIE! Horizontal Boulder Explosion! (I know, the attacks are REALLY corny. ^_^x I like corny translations, so bear with me throughout the manga...) Kurama: (launches himself into Genbu's attack) Genbu: You seem to have finished your last resource. Kurama: Heheh... Heheheh... Genbu: Hahah! Have you gone cuckoo from fright? Let me help you relieve your pain! Everyone else: !! Genbu: Huh? What's going on? Why is he upside down? This... This is? Yuusuke: YAHAHAHAH! Cover your shame! Genbu: Ah! It's gone! Did you... my... Kurama: Are you looking for this? Genbu: Hah! That's... Kurama: I suppose this is the control tower for your being able to reassemble yourself after being torn to bits. You did well in hiding it from my view, but the sparkle of light it glows with when you're using it cannot escape my eyes. I expertise in seeking what the other seeks to hide, because I am by nature a bandit. Genbu: Ah! Hang on! Don't hurt that thing! Kurama: I refuse! (throws the thing up, cuts it in half) Genbu: YAAAAAA! Yuusuke: Finished him! Serves him right! Kurama: Phew... Yuusuke: Ah! Kurama! Hiei: To have been able to injure Kurama so... Yuusuke: Just leave the rest to us now! Kuwabara: That's right! I'll take care of the next one! *Surely the next one wouldn't be a monster like this?* END TRANSLATION 9/2/99 (c) 1991 Togashi Yoshihiro Translation: fwah@geocities.com
