Koto: A tie!!! The two fighters are outside the ring!!! Countdown!!!
Title: A Bloody Flower
Kurama: They were both carried out by each other's blow. Perhaps this
match is a draw...
Koto: One Two!!!
Page 8
Koto: Rinku's pulled himself up!
Youkai: Yeah! One defeat for Urameshi!!!
Koto: Four Five
Rinku: Shit, I'm hurt... That coward, I'm going to have to regenerate
because of him.
Page 9
Rinku: That stupid Kuwabara's getting up! Damn it, he's really
tough!!! Hold!!! [Yoyos
bind Kuwa]
Kuwa: ?! What? But - ? What is it with these yoyos?!
Koto: Eight Nine Ten!!!
Page 10
Kuwa: Are you scared of my face or what?! I can still fight!!!
Rinku: [thinking] I've had it with his type!!! I've never seen a guy so
serious!
Kurama: He controlled the yoyos from a distance.
Hiei: The rules permit it.
Koto: The victory is given to the Six Youkai team.
Kuwa: Hey, you!!! I'll wait until this is over, we can sort it out
outside!!!
Rinku: You're full of crap!
Kurama: I'll go next.
Roto: You must be bloody stupid to insist like you're powerful. I'll
overcome you swiftly!
Page 11
Title: With A Bloody Rose
Page 12
Koto: Second match!!!
Hiei: Kurama... Above all, don't show him mercy... You must finish it
in one blow.
Kurama: Yes, I know.
Kuwa: Kurama, you know where he puts his rose whip? During
training, that intrigued me.
Hiei: They aren't real flowers. He knows how to transform all plants
into weapons. A simple
blade of grass can cut steel.
Page 13
Koto: Second round, Kurama vs Roto!!!
Roto: They say that you collaborate with the humans... I can't quite
understand, is it worth
the blow?
Kurama: ...
Shizuru: That long-haired boy is not ordinary...
Keiki: Shizuru? You understand that?
Roto: The death of humans makes you sad?
Kurama: A kamaitatchi...
Page 14
[Roto slashes at Kurama with his in built knives.]
Hiei: That's not much, it's going to be easy. Your chance, you draw the
number two in the
band.
Kuwa: In three rounds, I'll make it!!!
Page 15
Roto: !!!
Kurama: He seems a little thoughtless. I'm going to busy myself with
you!
Roto: The life of your mother is in my hands... What do you say to
that?
Kurama: !!!
Page 16
[Kurama's cheek is cut]
Kuwa: ?! But what was that about?!
Roto: He he he, look well... By pressing this button, my accomplice...
He's been tracing you
parents. You see the plan? You are a nice boy, no?
Page 17
Roto: Good plan, no? Too easy!!! You've been too corrupted by the
hmans!
[Roto punches Kurama, who tosses a seed back at him.]
Roto: That's pathetic... A little rock for a counter-attack? You can't
even touch me!!! You
are my marionette, understand?
Page 18
Roto: You want to fight, is that it? If you make a move I'll press the
button, see?
Kuwa: Kurama, what are you doing?! He's trying to free himself!
Youkai #1: Yeah, he must be under hypnosis!
Youkai #2: Go, finish him!!!
Roto: You see, you are defeated! Well? He he he, he likes his mama,
does he? Are you
going to try to strike my arms? I'll probably have the time to press the
button.
Page 19
Roto: Try!!!
Kurama: Grrr
Roto: Haha, comical!!! I'm quite amused!!! I love vulnerable guys!
Too funny!!! You're
fucking with me...
Page 20
Kurama: ...
Roto: I don't like your stare. I want to see you suffer. You understand?
You're going to
stop!!! Lower your eyes!!!
Page 21
Roto: My patience is at its limit. I don't need to abuse, you know?
You're going to lick my
boots. After that, I'll cut off your head. I think that you won't refuse.
If you want to spare
your mother. Your kind mother... I like this kind of situation, ha ha!
Kurama: I refuse.
Roto: ... What?!
Page 22
Kurama: I've had enough fun. You can push the button.
Roto: Ha ha ha, here you are at last unmasked! At the slightest
difficulty, betrayal!!! You
are like us!!!!
Kurama: Go, push it!
Roto: He he he, as you wish!!! You're a monster like us, you value
nothing!
Page 23
[Roto freezes in mid-action]
Roto: Urgh?!! My thumb... It... I can't move it.
Kurama: I'm going to give you some advice. Advice which I give to
the whole world.
[snatches controller from Roto] Your bet was quite audacious... The
solution is thanklessly
easy...
Page 24
Kurama: Earlier I sowed a shimaneki seed. The roots have developed
and now there is
nothing you can do.
Roto: ?! You did that?! The rock that you threw at me earlier...
Kurama: A single word on my part and the plant will burst out of you...
You're nothing but a
guttersnipe. I won't deprive myself.
Roto: Wait!!! I ask pardon!!! I beg you!!!
Kurama: You must die.
Page 25
Roto: [flowers bursting out of his body] Waaaah
Kurama: Evil blood produces the most beautiful flowers in the
universe...
Page 27
Koto: A victory for the Urameshi team!!! We're at a tie here!!!
Title: In the Flames of Hell
Hiei: If it can reassure you, the demon isn't better than me.
Kurama: ! You read my thoughts...
Hiei: What do you think?! I'm mistrustful!
Koto: The tournament continues!!!
Kuwa: ?!
Page 28
Koto: Zeru has already made his appearance!!! We're waiting for a
fighter from the
Urameshi team!!!
Kurama: You think that's their boss?
Kuwa: And the remaining two are for cleaning up?
Hiei: I don't think so, that must be the boss... They must be drawing
lots. He is for me.
He'll pay well for our encounter yesterday.
Page 29
Title: In the Flames of Hell
Page 30
Youkai #1: Whoever is chosen, he's done for!!!
Youkai #2: That guy is really powerful!!!
Hiei: You use a kind of fire...
Zeru: !!!
Hiei: I saw the traces in the cup. You broke the cup with your
flames... Not bad...
Zeru: Yes, and so? Keep your mischievous comments to yourself.
Koto: Let's go!!!
Page 31
Zeru: [Surrounded by flames] I'm going to reduce you to ashes...
Kuwa: Fuck, that's torn it!!! I have a bad feeling about this!!!
Zeru: Well? Are you afraid? What do you say to this power?
Hiei: Stop the chit-chat. I'm waiting.
Page 32
[Zeru punches Hiei through the chest.]
Page 33
Kuwa: Ah... A single blow!
Zeru: For laughing at death... He is no more.
Page 34
Zeru: Beautiful attack, that's damage. What... You're not dead yet?
How?
Impossible!!!
Hiei: You're unlucky! You're going to be the first victim on earth of
the Jaoh Ensatsu
Ken!!!
Page 35
Kurama: Jaoh Ensatsu Ken?!! He shouldn't use that on earth!!! That
must even be
impossible!!!
Hiei: I don't have the control yet!!! It's only a question of time!
Zeru: Black flames?!! He's successfully tamed the flames of
darkness?!!
Hiei: You'll have to be satisfied by my right arm. Sorry, but you must
disappear...
Page 36
Hiei: Look well, there was nothing to see with your amateur fire
tricks... The power of
the jagan.
Zeru: Erps...!!!
Koto: It's too... dangerous!!! Excuse me, but I have to get myself to
safety!!!
Hiei: You're going to die!!!
Page 37
Hiei: From me, Black Dragon!!!
Zeru: !!!
Page 38
Koto: [hiding by the edge of the ring] ... ?!
Page 39
Kurama: In one strike!
Yusuke: [snoring] ...
Koto: But... The wall... [Zeru's shadow is burnt into the wall, still
smoking]
6 Youkai team member #4: I don't believe it...
Hiei: A successful combustion... I leave his shadow as a souvenir.
Koto: Ahh... I think it's useless to do a breakdown.
Page 40
Koto: The victor is Hiei!!!
Kuwa: Ha ha!!! Too easy!!! They can all tremble!!! His blow is
deadly, far out... I
never know, he can always change sides... Eh...
Hiei: I assure you, I'm with you until the end of the tournament. My
technique isn't yet
totally perfected.
6 Youkai team member #4: You saw Zeru? ...
6 Youkai team member #5: He didn't make a crease...
Page 41
6 Youkai team member #4: There's little I can do, I'm done for!!!
Rinku: !
6 Youkai team member #5: It seems we've been made part of a farce!
[6 Youkai team members #4 &5 lose their heads - literally.]
Hiei: !!!
Page 42
Chuu: Ooops!
Page 43
Chuu: These guys don't have any sense of humour! Really pathetic...
Rinku: Chuu!!!
Chuu: Hey you? I've come about the lost two members of the team.
What must I do?
Koto: We have a single replacement per team. You'll have to finish the
tournament on
your own!!!
Chuu: So much the better!!!
Koto: [thinking] He reeks of alcohol!!!
Chuu: So, I must stuff around with the pathetic pair remaining!
Page 44
Kuwa: That guy, I have a bad feeling... He's emitting less power than
Zeru, there's a
way! !!!
Yusuke: And up! That stink of alcohol! It woke me up from my nap...
Kurama: [thinking] Yusuke's come to himself to return the count...
This guy is shady...
Chuu: He's pissed his pants already? You can come in a pair!!!
Page 45
Keiko: That idiot has finally woken up!
Atsuko: Demolish him!!!
Hiei: [thinking] This guy has nothing in common with Zeru... He's
something else...
Koto: Eh... You...
Chuu: Come on, move your arse! Let's get this finished so I can have
something to drink!
Masked Fighter: ...
Yusuke: I need the exercise, this one's for me! A little work-out to
wake me up.
Chuu: A work-out?
Page 47
Title: The Drunken Fighter
Youkai #1: That bastard Urameshi has just woken up!!!
Youkai #2: He's going to live the last nightmare of his life!
Youkai #3: Rid us of this guy!!!
Youkai #4: Yeah, mash him up!!!
Chuu: ...
Page 48
Youkai: [chanting repeatedly] Kill him!!!
Page 49
Title: The Drunken Fighter!!!
Page 50
Kuwa: I sense a fearsome force... We don't know what he's capable
of...
Hiei: That's shit! It's a bluff, that's all.
Youkai: Kill him!!! Kill him!!!
Kuwa: Hm, I think that he'll do it. I think one of us will win!
Hiei: ...
Kurama: [thinking] It's not obvious... It's going to be hard... Zeru was
really strong.
Hiei was even obliged to take his strike...
Page 51
Kurama: [thinking] He charred a master of flames... He must have
compromised
himself... Hiei must be paying a price... His right arm must be
suffering... He sacrificed
his right arm... He can't use it again... This guy is different from
Zeru... He's emitting a
strange, unknowable force...
Page 52
Kurama: [thinking] Yusuke is making a big mistake with him!!!
Chuu: You speak of a little exercise?
Koto: Hey?!
Chuu: [Grabs Koto's microphone] Give me that! One, two, one, two.
Koto: Er I saw nothing!
Page 53
Chuu: One word before we start!!! Listen to me well!!! Yeah, you're
interested in
hearing this. There isn't any janken, which I' bad at!!! I'm not afraid of
anyone!!!
Yusuke: ...
Koto: What? I have to explain for you...
Narration: Yeah, a real pro!!!
Koto: This team decided the order of their participants by janken...
Page 54
Koto: ... and that's how he became the replacement!!! It seems that he's
the boss of the
team!!! That's all!!!
Rinku: What a fool! He's seriously stuffed!
Kurama: ...
Yusuke: Good, that's enough, shall we start?
Chuu: Bastard!!! Don't you think of me?!!! I'm going to teach you!!!
I'm a master of
alcohol!!!
Page 55
Chuu: The more I drink, the stronger I get!!! I don't have any rules!!! I
use my instinct to
bring down my opponent!!! You see?
Rinku: [falls over] Incorrigible!!!
Yusuke: That's the beauty of dispute... But... You must know how to
do something else
well. It's amazing that you don't know that talk!
Chuu: !
Yusuke: You must have a special attack?
Page 56
Chuu: You're insightful... At last a real opponent. You're going to
amuse me.
Page 57
Koenma: [thinking] He asked to become Genkai's student... He must
know 'the
technique'. That of the concentration of destructive waves!
Youkai: Kill him!!! Kill him!!!
Koto: Start!!!
Page 58
Kurama: His movement is fluid!!!
Hiei: Good self-control!!! He's going to be hard to judge.
Page 59
Masked Fighter: [thinking] He's fast!!!
Yusuke: !!!
Page 60
[Chuu punches Yusuke in the chest]
Hiei: He connected five blows!!!
Yusuke: !!!
Page 61
Kuwa: He's too fast!!! He can't counter him!!!
Kurama: [thinking] His technique is impeccable, such self-control!
Chuu: Oh?
Page 62
[Yusuke punches at Chuu]
Yusuke: !!!
Page 63
[Chuu kicks Yusuke out of the ring and through the wall]
Page 64
Youkai: [chanting] Kill him!!!
Koto: Incredible!!! An unstoppable series of blows!!! Urameshi is
outside the ring,
defenseless!!!
Chuu: I thought that you wanted to see my special attack? Well? Are
you dying already?
Youkai: [chanting] Kill him!!!
Kuwa: That stinks!!! It's too much for Yusuke! Rinku's foolishness is
nothing to this!!!
Koto: He's out of the ring! The countdown begins!
Page 65
Koto: One...
Yusuke: Fuck, I almost had to stay there!!!
Atsuko: Yeah, that's it!!! Show your guts!!!
Yusuke: This fight is starting to please me. You too?
Chuu: Yeah, it's cool... It suits me.
Page 67
Koto: Urameshi has returned!!! We can continue the match!!!
Title: A fight with equal weapons!!!
Kuwa: What?! He dealt with that bloody kick with one hand?!! Good
play!!!
[Yusuke's hand is in position to fire the Reigun
Chuu: ?
Page 68
[Yusuke fires Reigun at the stadium roof]
Title: A fight with equal weapons!!!
Page 69
Yusuke: That's the first Reigun! I still have three. For the moment, I'm
limited to four per
day... But I still have the possibility of growing in power.
Koto: Urameshi reveals his weaponry, he is incredibly naive!!! Never
before seen in the
tournament!!!
Kuwa: Is he bloody stupid or what?!! He's taking a gamble with that
drunkard!!!
Chuu: Ha h ha!!! He's really thick, this guy!!! Relly too deadly!!! I
had too many drinks
during the wait... That's going to come up seriously on your face!
Page 70
Chuu: I have a trick for you. A demonic drink 'The power of Demons'
[Chuu drinks from a vial]
Rinku: He's not going to do that?!!!
Page 71
[Chuu lets out a rather large amount of... gas. Koto falls over]
Yusuke: ...
Page 72
Rinku: Really pitiful... But he's obliged to do that to get up his power.
At last he's
become even with him!!! He's an expert in the suiken technique, he
takes his power from
drunkenness!!!
Yusuke: !
Kurama: He looks less drunk? No, he's trained to change it!!!
Chuu: Pfooie, that's good...
Page 73
Chuu: The technique of Renkinyou jutsu!!! Here, I saved this for you!
Koto: He starts to emit a strange force... a force which strains to take
form between his
hands.
Hiei: The Renkinyo jutsu... Strange demon... The alcohol won't serve
to reinforce his
strike!!!
Page 74
Kuwa: That ball resembles a Reigun!!!
Kurama: They have the same power!!! He made it in an instant!!!
Chuu: The test of strength!!! Hold yourself ready!!!
Yusuke: When you want!!!
Page 75
[Both fire]
Yusuke: Shot!!!
Page 76
Kuwa: The balls are struggling!!!
[Both balls disappear with a bang]
Hiei: Equal.
Page 77
Chuu: !!! [Back to fist fighting]
Kuwa: They're taking advantage of the contact!!!
Page 78
Kuwa: They're not taking any care!!!
Hiei: If one of the two backs down, the other lands a hit. They must
resist under
pressure!!!
Yusuke: Shit
Kurama: Look out!!!
Page 79
Chuu: [thinking] A play!!! [Makes a big ball]
Rinku: It's now or never!!!
Hiei: They're using too much energy.. If they continue, they're going to
regret it.
Kurama: [thinking] They're equal. They're not going to take a chance
like that...
Chuu: Take that, you!!!
Page 80
[Big ball heads Yusuke's way]
Yusuke: Enormous!
Kurama: [thinking] More powerful than the Reigun!!!
Hiei: He's badly placed, he's going to take it himself!!!
Kuwa: Shit, it's certain!!!
Page 81
Chuu: It's useless to resist, I've used all my force! [Yusuke fires a
double Reigun] A
double strike?!!
Page 82
Koto: It crossed it!!! But the other ball holds his power!!! The two
touch!!!
Page 83
Koto: They've both disappeared!!! Have they dodged? Or are they
dead? Hey?!!
They're just behind me!!! They seem to have suffered some damage!!!
Page 84
Chuu: You used the three remaining... What's more, you have burned
up all your energy,
you're empty. That's correct, right?
Yusuke: Yeah...
Chuu: Oh well. Me too!
Yusuke: ...
Chuu: Heh
Yusuke: Heh
Page 85
[Yusuke and Chuu laugh]
Koto: They're bloody and they're laughing!!! Decidedly, I'm having a
hard time
understanding them!
Chuu: It's time to finish.
Yusuke: I agree!
Chuu: [Pulling out two large knives] To finish... We'll play with the
blade!!!
Page 87
Title: The Test of the Blade, The Death Match!!!
Koto?: The Death Match!!!
Kuwa: He planted the two daggers in the ground. What does he want
to do?
Page 88
Chuu: Take off your shoes and place your foot against the dagger.
Page 89
Chuu: The limit is fixed by the knife, you mustn't pass it. If you cross
the line, you must
die. It's my go, I'm waiting for the signal!
Koto: Eh, yes!
Chuu: A real body to body!!! An old-style of fight!!!

attack for that!!!

large bet!!!

the Urameshi
team!!!
Kuwa: Yes!!!!! We've cleared the first round!!!
Page 103
Rinku: Chuu? He's completely knocked out... He fights like that
regularly... Someone
who has a head so strong... I didn't think there was [anyone with a
stronger head]!
Yusuke: Hey, kid!
Rinku: !!! Yes!
Yusuke: When he wakes up, tell him that we can have a rematch
whenever he wants!
Page 104
Rinku: Eh, yes... [Thinking] He is completely cool, that guy...
Youkai #1: Hey, enough with the chat!!!
Youkai #2: We've made our demands!!!
Youkai: [chanting] Kill him!!!
They were bad!!!
We want a real show!!!
Death to the pathetic!!!
Return our money!!!
Rinku deserves death!!!
Finish Chuu!!!
Death!
Rinku and Chuu must die!!!
Page 105
Kuwa: The ghouls! Those bastards can't get enough blood.
Rinku: Leave me to face it. They're too afraid to fight fro themselves.
Yusuke: [shouting at the crowd] You loudmouths!!!
Page 106
Yusuke: Come on you delicate things, we want to busy ourselves with
your faces! Let's
go, I'm waiting!!! Come down!!! Come play with us!
Kuwa: I'm for it!
Youkai: Eh...
Rinku: Urameshi...
Chuu: ...
Page 107
?: Those humans take the lead. They've forgotten the consequences of
the tournament!!!
Toguro: Karasu, how do you find Urameshi? We're going to have to do
him ourselves.
If he survives to win the tournament...
Karasu: He's made a very large error... He can't use the Reigun
anymore...
Page 109
Title: Forward for the best eight!!!
Narration: Second round. Yusuke and his team benefit by a chance to
recover...
Youkai: ...!!! Terrifying!!!
Koto: Victor, M-3! Professor Ichigaki's team win the round!!!
Page 110
Title: Towards the Best Eight!!!
Ichigaki: Thanks to all!
Page 111
Youkai #1: 3/0, we've been lucky. Otherwise, we would have suffered
there!!!
Youkai #2: Wait! We haven't finished!!!
Koto: ?
Youkai #2: Nothing to be done about the match, I must seek
vengeance!!!
Ichigaki: Fool... You're already lucky to be alive.
Page 112
Youkai #2: Die!!!
Ichigaki Team Member #1 (En, Ryo or Kai): Angel [attack]
Ichigaki Team Member #2 (En, Ryo or Kai): Hand crow!
Ichigaki Team Member #3 (En, Ryo or Kai): ...
Page 114
Youkai: We saw nothing of the action!!! [Youkai#2 is missing his head
and one arm]
Ichigaki: They live on Urameshi's tomb!!!
Page 115
Kurama: Amazing... Those three guys are under control. Curious to
see humans here.
Someone is manipulating them...
Botan: [In the hotel room] Keiko, tell me why you want to meet
Yusuke? You want to
give him a correction, no?
Keiko: ... I don't want him to lose concentration.
Page 116
Botan: Bother him? That's impossible! You know well that Yusuke
is... !
Keiko: If I see him now, I risk asking him to stop. You've seen what a
good mood he's
in. You must take advantage of it now...
Page 117
Keiko: Yet a little... I want to watch a little.
Botan: Keiko...
Atsuko: You're keeping an eye on him, right?! How sweet!!!
Shizuru: Go on, today you're entitled to drink! A toast for Yusuke's
team!!! Cheers!!!
Kazu... You shamed me...
Page 118
Kuwa: Shit... What?! No more Reiguns?!!
Yusuke: Hmmm
[The bandages done by Kurama]
Kuwa: You're worn out, that's all. Me too, I'm wrecked, but that can
pass!
Yusuke: No! In general, the following day I have a hard time coming
out with the reiguns,
but... Today, I can't concentrate the force on my finger.
Kuwa: That's worrying...
Yusuke: I don't know why...
Page 119
Masked Fighter: You wasted too much of your power! The technique
of the double
strike... It isn't a beginner's trick. You are too young for that.
Kuwa: [thinking] Wait! That isn't the old lady!!! She's young!!!
Yusuke: [thinking] I thought it was the old lady, too!!!
Masked Fighter: Abstain from using the reigun. If not, you risk
damaging your arm.
Page 121
Koto: It's time for the fourth match. It's the last of the series. The
victor will join the best
eight. That's as well as going to the selection for the finalists!!! And
here is the victor for
the preceding competition!!! The Toguro brothers!!!
Team listing: Urameshi Team
Ura Otogi Team

Gokukai Rokukyo
Masyo Tsukai
Page 122
Koto: The opposing team are Demons of Makai!!!
Youkai #1: Where are your teammates?
Toguro: I wish to do this match alone. The others are a little lazy.
Youkai #2: He pits himself against us?
Youkai #3: You against us five, you're sure?
Youkai #1: No problem!
Toguro: Or one by one.
Page 123
Youkai: He plays hard because he's already won the tournament!!!
That's the way! One
against five!!!
Koto: You... You're sure about your decision?
Toguro: Always ready!!! Good luck for the arbitration!
Koto: Let's go!!!
Toguro: I'm going to do you an honour, and put myself at 45%.
Page 125
Youkai #1: !!!
Toguro: That's the day's fat!
Page 126

Narration: We're entering into the second phase of the tournament!!!
Are here is the grid

Yusuke: We don't have caretakers on this strike...

Title: The Second Part!!!
[Dream sequence][The three members of Dr Ichigaki's team are
gathered with others
around a man lying on his sick-bed.]
Students: Professor Mitamura!!! Hold on!!!
Mitamura: This illness is a difficult test... I know it. I don't have a
choice... Such is life...
IT#3: We haven't the 7 million for the operation...
IT#2: We are powerless... I can't leave it like that!!!
Mitamura: Don't say such stupid things... I am happy that you are here.
IT#1: No!!! You must fight!!! I'll do all that is possible!!!
Page 130
Ichigaki: I'm called Ichigaki. I can treat him for free. With a single
condition...
Students: What is it?! We're ready to do anything if it can save him!!!
Ichigaki: You three!!! You are going to serve as guinea pigs for me.
You see, it's a very
simple experiment...
[End dream sequence]
Kuwa: ... What a weird dream.
Page 131
Kuwa: You see that kind of dream?!
Yusuke: Yeah... Ichigaki? I already heard a bit about him...
Kuwa: And what are Kurama and Hiei doing?
Yusuke: Don't know.
Kuwa: Hm... Not the type to back out of the fight?
Yusuke: Don't worry! They'll come back. Let's go!!!
Page 132
Title: The Second Part!!!
Page 133
Yusuke: Hm?
Koenma: You've done well in the first part.
Yusuke: That voice?! And that stupid sucker!!! It's him?!!
Koenma: Bingo!!!
Yusuke: What?! Koenma?!! The human version isn't bad, but why the
dummy?
Koenma: Mind your own business! Today, I'm here as a spectator...
but I would like to
help you.
Page 134
Koenma: You remember the egg that I kept for you?
Yusuke: Hn? What egg?
Koenma: Are you as bad as Togashi? The story of the egg which I
filed before your
resurrection!!!
Yusuke: Ah!
Koenma: I thought that you would care about it... It's for that that the
egg was kept in the
afterlife. By a miracle, you owe your freedom for the hour! Thanks to
your soul it
continues to harden. It won't be tardy in hatching! The monster who
will emerge will be
a valuable ally.
Page 135
Koenma: It's only a question of days!
Yusuke: Well, I've had enough of waiting.
Koenma: Brat... What did you learn from Master Genkai? I would
have thought that you
were already prepared...
Yusuke: I've continued the Reiko Hadoken technique. That consists of
concentrating
energy in a powerful light wave.
Koenma: [thinking] He hasn't come very far... He is slow... The
tournament isn't be
such a bad idea after all...
Yusuke: Let's go! We can't lose!!!
Kuwa: [thinking] He's already forgotten that he'll be without the
Reigun...
Page 136
Narration: Meanwhile...
Kurama: Hiei? You alright?
Hiei: What are you talking about?
Kurama: Your arm? You know that it'll be hard soon?
Hiei: I didn't have a choice. It's too late... We must be sure.
Page 137
Hiei: We must overcome them.
[Two guys walk out of the woods towards Hiei and Kurama]
Page 138
Youkai: What's this? They're missing some guys?
Kuwa: That's crazy!!! I know them!!! [referring to Ichigaki's team]
Those are the guys I
saw in my dream!!!
Koto: It's time to start!!!
Page 139
Ichigaki: Fate has chosen well. As the fights go on, the number
diminishes. Three against
three, that's fair?
Yusuke: Me, I'll fight... and you? You're there to subdue them?
Ichigaki: I'm here to guide them. You're going to fight against my
guinea pigs. I love to
do experiments on men. Believe me, men are splendid animals.
Without thought and
other debilitating things, it's a perfect power machine.
Page 140
Ichigaki: My dream is to create the ultimate genetic monster!!! A
monster who doesn't
think and who obeys, the perfect machine. And here are my three
prototypes. It wasn't
easy to obtain them. A simple machine isn't peculiar. Elsewhere
robots are forbidden in
a tournament.
Yusuke: That's nothing to do with your story!
Ichigaki: I am very interested in you two. I have a proposition for you.
Page 141
Ichigaki: If I win, you give me your bodies. That will permit me to
continue with my
tinkering.
Yusuke: If I win... You are a dead man!
Ichigaki: Ha ha ha, of course!!! [thinking] Just like before... Without
Kurama and Hiei,
they don't stand a chance.
Masked Fighter: I also have a request. I would like the fight do be
done in one go.
Page 142
Ichigaki: [thinking] Chance of success 99.95% [Aloud] As you wish!
Ha ha!!! It's
won!!! They're mine!!! My three minions together, they don't stand a
chance!!!
Page 143
Kuwa: [thinking] The Mask is right, without Yusuke's Reigun this is
going to be closely
fought... We're going to play it very hard. [Aloud] His story
resembles my dream... It's
not possible...
Masked Fighter: I know these three guys.
Kuwa: !!!
Masked Fighter: They are pupils of a great master. They have
enormous respect for their
master...
Kuwa: So? Have they been brainwashed?
?: They don't have consciences anymore!!!
Koto: Let's start!!!
Page 144
[Ichigaki's three team members attack]
Page 145
IT#2: Hand Crow
Yusuke: [thinking] I'm ready and I'm going to stick him one!!!
Masked fighter: Behind you!!! Quickly!!!
Yusuke & Kuwa: ?!
Page 146
Yusuke & Kuwa: [Just managing to avoid the strike] ?! [Are hit by
IT#3]
Page 147
Yusuke: I saw nothing and we were attacked!!! If we hadn't dodged,
we would have
taken a direct hit!!!
Masked Fighter: They are capable of concealing their ki... You weren't
perceptive
enough for that... You still haven't the capacity to see.
Kuwa: Yeah, and what can we do about it?!
Yusuke: ...!!!
Page 149
Title: The Bloodthirsty Puppets!!!
[Kurama and Hiei attack one of the two youkai who approached them]
Youkai #2: Hm?!!
Page 150
Hiei: They're clumsy...
Kurama: They think to check us with these miserable things.
Title: The Bloodthirsty Puppets!!!
Hiei: They're going to die.
Youkai #2: No thanks, I don't want that... A change in the team.
Page 151
Youkai #2: The armored monster of destruction
Hiei & Kurama: !!!
Youkai #2: A masterpiece of the Professor's, it is invincible. Take
them!!!
Page 152
[Monster thing attacks]
Hiei: [thinking] The sword is nothing against that!!!
Youkai #2: Ha ha, its armour is made from a special substance!!! A
metal sword will do
nothing to it, it has nothing to fear!!!
Page 153
Hiei: I must rid myself of this idiot!!! Ah!!! [Gets caught by Monster-
thing's arm-claw]
Kurama: Hiei!!!
Page 154
Youkai #2: Ha ha ha!!! Useless!!! You're no more than a miserable
pile of meat!!!
Hiei: He's going to pay for that!!! [Starts powering up his arm]
Kurama: !!! Don't do that!!! [Frees Hiei]
Page 155
[Monster-thing's arms go for Kurama]
Hiei: Kurama!!!
Youkai #2: Good play!!! Crash into that shit!!!
Page 156
[Kurama moves the arms apart]
Youkai #2: Impossible... How?!!
Kurama: I have much to teach him about pain. He suffers a little for
each death... I come
fairly to train him... It's really not difficult. And what is your decision?
Obedience or
death?
Page 157
Crowd: Yes, that's it, like that!!! They must be overpowered!!!
[IT#1 & 3 attack]
Page 158
[Kuwa and Yusuke are hit]
Masked Fighter: [thinking] They are very concentrated on the target...
The two others
would benefit from their attacks with remarkable precision.
Ichigaki: One against one. The chances were already my way... The
system fixed in their
backs gives me total control. A plan without fault!!! Our chances are
99.95%!!! It's
won!!!
Page 159
[IT#2 attacks Yusuke]
Yusuke: Shit...
[Masked Fighter kicks Yusuke out of the way.]
Page 160
[IT#2 knocks Masked Fighter back.]
Koto: The Mask in covering for his teammate has taken the Hand
Crow!!! He's been
propelled out of the ring. Quickly, the countdown!
IT#2: [thinking] He must be killed.
Page 161
Kuwa: Wake up, shit!!! This fight isn't yours!!!
IT#1 & 3: [Thinking] He must be killed... Kill, kill!!!
Page 162
[Kuwa dodges an attack]
Ichigaki: [Thinking] They can do nothing, he he he... I control their
blood flow. These
guys are real killers!!!
Kuwa: Shit!!!
Yusuke: [Thinking] It's not them whom we must confront...!!!
Page 163
[Masked Fighter attacks, and the mask is cut off revealing a young
girl.]
Page 164
(Un)Masked Fighter: What are you waiting for, fools! You think
perhaps that your
deaths are going to save these guys?
Koto: The return of the Maks!!! Surprise!!! It's a young girl!!!
Page 165
[The youkai who'd been fighting Hiei and Kurama lands in the ring...
head first. And
bounces.]
Koto: But what's that...?!! A member of the Ichigaki Team has fallen
from the sky!!!
He's going to crash into the ground!!!
Page 166
[The Monster thing crashes through one of the spectator stands.]
Ichigaki: !!!
Yusuke: Hiei!!! Kurama!!!
Kurama: Let us relate the tale. He promised to heal their master if they
became his guinea
pigs. They were ignorant that it was for murder.
Kuwa: It's all explained!!!
Kurama: And...
Page 167
Kurama: Their master's illness is a trap set up by the professor.
Kuwa: What!
Yusuke: Damn!
Ichigaki: He he he... [Thinking] Fools... They are very thick. They
will hate me more.
They will have a harder time fighting against the other three...!!!
