Youkai #1: We've waited a long time for this day...
Youkai #2: We can fight under our own appearance.
Youkai #3: If we win, we can ask for whatever we want.
Youkai #4: If I win, I want 1000 humans!
Youkai #5: I'm drooling already.
Youkai #6:We're going to win. If you have the balls, give up!
Youkai #7: Speak for yourself!!
Youkai #8: Grrr... That's the stink of a human...
Youkai #9: You've come to be eaten?

Kuwa: Why is Yusuke late?  We don't even have a fifth.
Hiei: Stop your blathering, are you ready or not?
Kuwa: Loudmouth, I'm really motivated! Kurama trained me for the occasion.  This tournament is for me!  I'm going to make my name in it and no-one will dare approach the sweet Yukina!
Captain: Sirs, it's time to emark.
Kuwa: Eh! Not so quickly!  We're missing a guy!
Captain: We'll take that for a withdrawl.  Sorry, that's the rule.
Yusuke: I'm sorry, I'm here!

Yusuke: I had to pack.
Kuwa: You had to do what?
Youkai #1: Urameshi?
Youkai #2:The guy who defeated Suzaku and Rando...  If we take them, we're famous!

Yusuke: I'm dead tired.
Kuwa: You sure you're going to be alright?
Hiei: ...  Yusuke.
[Hiei attacks with his sword, Yusuke dodges.]

Youkai: What's that they're doing?
Kuwa: F-fast...  I'm having a hard time following...
Yusuke: A curious way of greeting me...

Page 138
Hiei: I see that you've made a little progress.
Kuwa: A little!?!  What arrogance!!! He's super fast.
Kurama: Don't panic... You've also progressed.
Kuwa: Hn?
Hiei: Don't tell me that loser is the fifth?
Kuwa: What, him?  I didn't even see him!  The shame!!!
Yusuke: Don't worry, he's more than weak.
Kuwa: Um, that doesn't inspire me with confidence...
Hiei: Yusuke and I, we must suffice.

?: Good, let's go!  The voyage will take two hours...
[Ferry leaves shore.]
Youkai #1: One very gloomy cruise...
Youkai #2: Isn't there even anything to drink?!!
Captain: Welcome to all!  I have some good news to tell you.  We won't be tardy in organizing the elimination rounds!!!

Crowd: Waah?!!
Captain: A platform for the combat!
?: A platform on the boat?!
Captain: The fifteen teams on the island have already qualified.  From this boat must be left only a single team!!!
Kuwa: The bastards.  I thought that we were invited!

Page 141
Captain: Choose the strongest of your team.  The surviving team must then participate in the tournament!
Youkai: Ha ha ha, a little gymnastics.  I'll win it the whole way.
Kuwa: A battle royale?  A filthy plan if they all pit themselves against me!  Yusuke!  You go show them the results of your training! ?!!  Yusuke?!!  [Shakes snoring Yusuke.]  Shit, what now?!  You're sleeping?!!  You're the leader of teh team, right?!  Wake up, it's your turn!!!

Page 142
Kurama: He must have received severe training... He's sleeping to recover his energy.
Kuwa: Bah.  So?!  Who is going to go, then?
Masked fighter: ...
Hiei: I think that the clown wants to go...  We'll see what kind of stomach he has.
Kuwa: And if the idiot loses the match?  What do we do then?!
Hiei: We simply kill all the guys on the boat.  That way no one can come and complain afterwards.
Kuwa: What...

Captain: We start!
Youkai #1: We'll start with the weakest.  We'll proceed in order!
Youkai #2: I'll take you!!!
Youkai #3: You're already dead!!!
Kuwa: A collective attack, I don't know if I could handle that!!!
Kurama: He can't escape!!!
