Title: The first enemy
Page 148
Kuwa: He's taken them all in one go! Wasn't that the same technique
as Yusuke uses?
Page 149
Captain: Qualified for the Ankoku Bujutsukai... The Urameshi
team!!!
Kuwa: Hell, you've really done it!!! Tell us who you are!
Mask: [pointing up behind Kuwa] ...
Kuwa: Up there? [Turns to look - it's raining youkai!]
Eh?!!
Youkai: There's nothing in the rules!!! If we take them we're
famous!
Page 150
Youkai: You're all dead!!!
Hiei: They behave as I expected! I was starting to get bored.
Kurama: Me too...
Page 151
Youkai: [chopped into pieces by Hiei] Hey?
Kurama: Fuuka embuzin!!!
Page 152
Youkai #1: We'll make him sleep for all eternity.
Youkai #2: He sleeps, he's asking to be taken advantage of...
Kuwa: Shit! Yusuke! He has an opponent right next to him
whom he doesn't even know is there!!! Come on, I'll take you!
I'm going to draw on my energy!
Page 153
Kuwa: Clear off!!! Take that in your face!!!
Youkai: You're too slow!!! He's mine!!! Ha ha ha, the glory is
mine!!!
Kuwa: It won't be enough... !!
Page 154
Yusuke: Hn? Old bitch!!! Show yourself! I'm not done
for! Come on, attack!
Kurama: Even in sleep, he trains... The training must have been
rough!
Kuwa: Old bitch? Are we talking about the same person?
The other over there... Master Genkai?!
Page 155
Kuwa: [thinking] It's not like her to come give a helping hand... But
I don't see who else...
Captain: Hm. [Thinking] Sakyo was right, they're not just riff-raff...
By the sound of it, they're just amusing themselves!
Page 156
?: There it is!!! We've arrived!
Kuwa: I don't know what waits for us, but they'll have to play a tight
game!!!
Page 158
Kuwa: We're really staying here?
Attendant: Welcome to the hotel. I will conduct you to your rooms.
Kuwa: I have reasonable confidence... are we really there?
Shadowy figures: Look at those poor things... They're going to
be sacrificed...
Keiko: You're certain they're here?
Botan: I'm sure.
Page 159
Keiko: You're naive! You forget whose fault it was we almost
died last time! I hope you're not the type to do it yourself?!!
Botan: Calm down... [thinking] She's a good friend for Yusuke... ha
ha... Although it's not surprising, she insisted on coming!
Atsuko: Oh! Have you seen the lights over there?!
Botan: Not reassuring.
Kuwa: Wah, very classy!!!
Page 160
Attendant: Excuse me. [delivers drinks]
Kuwa: A little wariness... It might be poisoned...
Kurama: [drinking] Don't be paranoid, the aim of this tournament
i noble.
Hiei: [also drinking] He's right, the aim is to prove yourself
in combat.
Kuwa: We win by being careful! I've brought my own rink. [Shows
can with 'motivating drink' printed on the side.]
Kurama: ?! Strange, a cup is missing. There should have
been five.
Kuwa: Me, I haven't touched it...
Page 161
Kurama: It's fishy... Yusuke's still sleeping. His share
is missing!
Rinku: Sluurp
Page 162
Kuwa: What!!! Where did that guy come from? He must have
been here from the start.
Kurama: Perhaps, but he took the cup without us noticing.
Rinku: Hidden? I'm not petty, I entered by the door! I
just forgot to knock! Let me introduce myself, I'm called Rinku.
I'm one of six youkai starting the tournament with you.
Kuwa: The six? I thought there had to be five per team?
Page 163
Rinku: You don't know about having a replacement? At our place
we had to draw the replacement by lot. The invitees are lucky, there's
not much ceremony or anything in the match! What's more, you're all
going to die, so it's not a problem for the payment of the prize!
Kuwa: [thinking] That brat acts as though it's funny! I'm so
angry I could start now!
Rinku: I'm disappointed, it was the winner of the previous tournament
who invited you. Tomorrow I'll take you all one by one. I'm
going to win.
Zeru: Rinku, you talk too much...
Page 164
Kuwa: Another one in our room...!! He wasn't there, I'm sure!!!
Narration: [referring to Hiei] Going to have to distrust himself...
Rinku: Oh! Ha ha, sorry, Zeru! I was just playing a game!
Page 165
Zeru: Profit well from your last night. Tomorrow you will resemble
that cup.
Hiei & Kuwa: ?! [The cup has been shattered.] I didn't see
him do that!!!
Yusuke: Zzzzzz...
Zeru: Rinku, did you see the guy sleeping over there? I think
he didn't sense the danger we represented... Oh well...
Rinku: That one must be an idiot! Ha ha!
Zeru: [thinking] He wasn't chosen for nothing... We'll see tomorrow...
Narration: The day of the match!!!
