Title: Hiei's fights!!
Juri: Down!!  Makintarou is out of the fight.  The victory is Hiei's!!
Koto: A technique of staggering clarity!!  Hiei never let his opponent stand a chance!!!
Hiei: Quickly, the dice.  I want to go again.
Shishi: [Throwing dice] Only if you're the player...

[Back to the cave]

Page 135
[Yusuke is in agony, blood vessels starting to burst all over his body]
Yusuke: AARRGGHH!!  WWAAHHH!!!  SHIT!!

Page 136
[Yusuke punches a big hole in the wall]
Yusuke: Grrrrr  Waaahhh!!!
[Genkai has just reached the cave's entrance, leaning on the wall for support]

Page 137
Genkai: [Panting, and thinking] Perhaps it was premature...  But such as he is, he doesn't stand a chance against Toguro.  I thought that the fights in the tournament would reinforce him, that he would become much stronger, but...  Is it going to be enough for him to succeed in overcoming the trial...?  Now?  It's the only condition for surviving in combat!!  Yusuke, you are faced with your destiny!!

Page 138
Hiei: The free face has been rolled.  This match is mine.
Juri: Second match, Hiei against Kuromomotarou!!
Kuro: Onji, you are certain that he will not use the Kokuryuha?
Onji: I don't think so.

Page 139
Onji: Even if he wants to.  The last time he hurt his arms...  What's more, it emptied him of energy.  He doesn't have the reserves.
Kuro: I see...
Onji: That's not a real jagan.  It isn't enough for him to master the flame of the earth.  In any case, he won't use Kokuryuha.  He could use some derivatives but you must be able to hold it.  A moment or your body aura assimilates the spell...  The victory will be yours.

Page 140
Kuro: That reassures me.  Without the Kokuryuha, he isn't much.
Juri: Advance!!
Kuro: [Moves to grasp the sword still stuck in Makintarou's head.]  You rejoice too quickly in this victory.  He was unworthy of appearing amongst us.  [Pulls the sword out of Makintarou's head]
Kuwa: !!
Kuro: [Licking the blade]  Me, I'm different.  Heh heh...

Page 141
Kuro: A very beautiful sword.
Hiei: It pleases you?  I'll lend it to you.  In exchange, you're going to die.
Kuro: Ah, yes?!  Thanks!  [Slice off his own fingers.]
Hiei & Crowd: !?

Page 142
Kuro: Iiirgh  I'm hurt...  It cuts well.
Crowd: What's with this guy?!!!
         He cut off his own fingers!!!
Kuro: Now, I know this sword.  [Holds item in hand]  A little item from the darkness, the Kibidango!  [Squashes said item and inhales the fumes produced]  He he heh

Page 143
Kuro: [Covered in black fur?!]  The Buju armour!
Koto: The ball causes a transformation!!  He's emitting a powerful energy!
Juri: Let's go!!
Kuro: [Tossing sword back to Hiei]  I return your toy.  It will have no effect on me.
Hiei: [Catching sword] Amusing!

Page 144
Hiei: [Attacking]  Let's try and find out!!

Page 145
[Hiei's blade shatters into pieces]
Hiei: !
Kuro: Heh...

Page 146
Kuro: Too slow!  [Knocks Hiei away with to fists clenched together]
Kuwa: What?!!

Page 147
[Hiei climbs out of a dent in the wall]
Kuwa: That's not possible...
Crowd: He blew him away.
         Hiei was flung out...
Shishi: Heh heh...
Black faces with fangs: Fantastic!!!  That's the spirit of the game!!!

Page 148
Crowd: [Chanting]  Kill him!  Kill him!
Kurama: These monsters all possess their appropriate items!  They're emitting an incredible force!!
Kuro: My wounded body assimilates the combat techniques of the adversary.  The Kibidango ball permits me to increase my strength!!

Page 149
Kuro: Come on, kid, show me what you can do!!  When my body assimilates the aura...  You will be a dead man!!
Hiei: [Tosses away the bandana covering his jagan]  Agreed.
