Yu Yu Hakusho Volume 9 - Chapter 9

Title: Opening the Box of Surprises!!
Juri: Kuromomotarou has been put out of the fight.  The victory comes back to Hiei.
Koto: An enormously dramatic turn of events for the Urameshi Team!!
Shishi: [thinking]  As before, his wounds are profound!
Crowd: Shit!  That was almost there!!
         Can't anyone finish a match with that kid?

Page 172
Karasu: Where is Urameshi?
Toguro: He must be motivating himself.  For being with the group!!
Hiei: Go on, throw the dice.  I want to go back there.
[Shishi throws the dice]
Kuwa: [Thinking]  I'm still going to be the last.

Title: Open Box of Surprises!!
Hiei & Kurama: [Thinking]  I hope that it's for me.
Kuwa: [Thinking]  I don't want to go.

[Dice land on Kurama and Uraurashima]
Kurama & Kuwa: [thinking]  Yes!!
Hiei: Damn
?Koto or Juri?: 3rd match!  Kurama against Uraurashima
Shishi: Heh heh...  Fate has chosen well.
Onji: All is working out according to our will.

Page 175
Shishi: The first two, they were for laughs.  They've damaged Hiei well, like before...  And Uraurashima...  He is good enough for Kurama.
?Koto or Juri?: Let's go!!
[Uraurashima flicks his fishing line around, Kurama his rose whip]
Koto: They seem to be using the same technique!!!  We're going to see who can prove the greatest dexterity!!!

Page 176
[Uraurashima and Kurama exchange strikes]
Koto: The exchanges are of great intensity.  We see a wall of sparks between the two!!
Kurama: [thinking]  ...?  He doesn't seem to be putting himself into it

Page 177
Uraura: Continue the attack and listen to me.
Kurama: ?
Uraura: I have something to ask of you.  You must kill me...
Kurama: !?
Uraura: Continue the attack!  We were born to people who had a tragic destiny in the tales and legends...  Our target is to ignore all contradictions ad defend the good, but we have a tendency to forget...  We didn't permit a bad image, we must give the public their baptism of evil!  Tortured by remorse and doubts, I've been brought back...  I will never be obliged to open the box after having saved the tortured.
Note: See the legend of Urashima Tarou

Page 178
Uraura: I've effectively thought of my vengeance...  But I can't continue to think like Shishiwakamaru.  There are many people who learn and read of our adventures.  We must stop that.
Kurama: ...
Uraura: During the fight, I'm going to lose balance...  You must take advantage of that moment
Kurama: Agreed...  I won't kill you.  You can and must continue to live.  You're similar to me.
Uraura: ...  You're a nice guy.

Page 179
[Uraurashima loses balance]
Kurama: [thinking] Now!  [Attacks]
Uraura: Good.

Page 180
[Kurama's whip passes through empty air]
Kurama: !!
[Uraurashima's fishing line cuts at Kurama, snagging the whip out of his hands]

Page 181
Kurama: Argh...
?Juri or Koto?: Down!!
Uraura: Heh heh...  He's really naive, this guy!!  Ha ha ha!!!  What a fool!!  Your thickness is your loss!!
Shishi: Hee...
Uraura: I see that you like sad stories.  I'm not bad, you think perhaps I have some remorse?
Kurama: ...
Koto: One would say that Kurama has fallen into a trap!!  Uratogi Team are unveiling themselves!!

Page 182
Uraura: [Attacking]  Eh yes!!  Well done!!
Kurama: ?!
Uraura: You've only just perceived it yourself?  My preceding attacks served just to lock you up with the aid of a spell.
[Kurama is enclosed within a net of fishing line]

Page 183
Koto: He has spun his web in the ring!!  Up to my desk!!
Uraura: With some tools, nothing is easier.  You won't escape me.  [Hold out a box]  An item from Makai, the anti-tamatebako.  In the legend, one who once opened the box was becoming old.  The smoke rejuvenated him!  Unharmed over me...  I hate great guys who please the girls.  I often hold myself back from bursting, heh heh...

Page 184
Uraura: You should change your name.  I know an evil guy (worse than me) who bears the same name.  People must confuse you, no?  You have the same look.  I don't appreciate that.  [Opens box]  You're going to become a simple foetus!!  And I'll crush your head!!  [Smoke goes everywhere]

Page 185
Kurama: Mmh...
[The ring is enveloped by smoke]
Kuwa: The smoke comes over the field?!
Hiei: It's because of the wires.
[Images of Kurama aging backwards]

Page 186
Uraura: I feel it!!  It progressively subsides.  Too much?  His aura has just disappeared?  [Eyes bulge]
Kuwa & Hiei: What?
Shishi & Onji: !?

Page 187
Uraura: What is this fearsome power?!!  I thought that it was the end for him!!
Crowd: What's there?!!
         We can't see anything!!  Refund our money!!
Youko Kurama: I wouldn't have thought to regain this aspect this day...

Page 188
YKurama: Here I am a new youko...

Page 189
[Uraurashima is... stunned]
Uraura: What...  The youko...  But... But...  So...  You are?!!  The legendary brigand!!!  Youko Kurama!!!!
Juri: Euh... Ahh...
YKurama: It's the hour of the count.  You have made me very angry!!
