Page 170
Rinku: The audience is really hot!
Koto: Here's the team of six youkai!!!
Gonda (one of the BBC): Sakyo, what do you think of my team?  They are hopeful youths, I have confidence in them.
Sakyo: I didn't see them battle the Toguro brothers.  They won't take Urameshi.

Page 171
Youkai #1: There they are!!!
Youkai #2: Die, Urameshi!!!
Youkai #3: Yeah!!!  Band of weaklings!!!
Youkai #4: You're all going to die!!!
Youkai #5: Kurama and Hiei, you traitors!!!
Kuwa: Grrr  I see that we aren't very popular!!!
Kurama: What do they know about the betrayal?!!
Koto: Come over here!

Page 172
Youkai: Hey, pretty kid?  I've got seats!  20 thousand for standing room, a bargain!
Koenma: I have VIP seats.
Youkai: Erg!  It's you?!!  Koenma!!!  You're assisting at the spectacle?
Koenma: I have friends participating in the tournament.  It was proposed we stop the tournament, but I refused.  They work off their tensions here and during these times the wise ones stay on earth...  It's true.
Youkai: I see that you are perspicacious...  Here, it's the black circle.  The subject is the fight.

Page 173
Youkai: The law of the strongest.  Even if one of your own must die, it's the rule.
Koenma: I know the rules.
Botan: Koenma, Yusuke is in the arena!!!
Youkai: He must be a success!  The girls are all with you?
Koenma: These are the girls I invited.  A moron obliged me to drag them here.
Botan: What, me a moron?
Youkai: I see...  Women, all the same...

Page 174
Youkai #1: Kill the humans!!!
Youkai #2: Decapitate them!!!
Youkai #3: Yeah, we want blood!!!
Rinku: (referring to Yusuke) He's still sleeping.
Koto: The team leaders must agree on the terms of combat.  You can engage in a series of duels, we reckon up the total of victories.
Kuwa: The team leader...  Yusuke's still sleeping...
Kurama:  Kuwabara, you go take his place.

Page 175
Kuwa: Who?  Me?  Ha ha, me?  That's right, it's believable!!!  Good, I'm there!!!
Zeru: We'll do as you like, I prefer the duel.  It prolongs the pleasure.
Kuwa: That roll's for me!!!  The duel's the way to go!!!

Page 176
Kuwa: [thinking] I wasn't bad on the strike...
Koto: A duel in five rounds!!!
[Zeru raises his ki, trying to get a reaction out of Yusuke]
Kuwa: Shit!  What energy, that's hot!!!  He's trying to provoke Yusuke!
Zeru:  [thinking] A prodigious power...  An icy glare and an insane aura...  These are some amazing people...

Page 177
Kuwa: Yusuke, are you going to wake up or what?!!
Zeru: [thinking] With the energy I just put out, he didn't react...  A simple fool!
Koto: Ready for the first round?
Rinku: Good, let's go!
Kuwa: Ha ha, I'm the leader!!!

Page 178
Koto: And here is Kuwabara!!!
Youkai: Cut his throat!!!
Rinku: [thinking]  They should send the weakest against me...  He didn't respond to provocation yesterday...
Koto: You are free to use whatever you want!  You mustn't leave the ring, unless it's a knock-out!  Let's go!!!
Rinku: Let's play.
Kuwa: Come on, I'm waiting for you!!!
Rinku: And hup!!!

Page 179
Koto: Rinku is very fast.  We're having a hard time following his movements!
Rinku: You haven't seen anything.  To him, on the other hand, it's not nothing.  !!

[Kuwa punches Rinku]
Zeru: !!
Gonda: Oh!
Youkai #1: Hey?
Youkai #2: What?
Kuwa: You, you're going to understand nothing!!!

Page 181
Rinku: Urps!  Shit!!!
Youkai #1: That rinku is pathetic!!!
Youkai #2: Yeah, we want our money's worth!
Kurama: Kuwabara has become more powerful...  The way he's trained, he is capable of winning swiftly.
Hiei: He'd better stop playing around...  He should chance his sword to finish it!!!

Page 182
Kurama: The end of the play!  He's going to finish it!!!

Page 183
Kuwa: Wait, I'm going to defeat you definitively!  We'll start the countdown!  ?!
Rinku: So, you're having fun?

Page 184
[Rinku kicks Kuwa in the head]
Youkai: Oh!
Koto: One, two...
Rinku: [thinking]  Ha ha!!! So, on a roll?  On the ground...  I made it into a little bit of a show, otherwise it isn't funny!

Page 185
Rinku: It's useless to count, he has a broken neck!  He's not going to be late to die, is he?
Hiei: That's a vicious little one...  He enjoys himself in the fight.
Youkai: That was a good show!!!  That was cool!!!
Rinku: !!
Kuwa: You...  speak too soon!
Koto: Kuwabara gets up!!!
Kuwa: You're going to pay dearly!
Rinku: ...
