Title: The 50th Anniversary!!!
Announcer: Team Toguro has just qualified!!!  The final will take place in two days.
Crowd: [Leaving the stadium] Team Toguro is still unbeatable.
 They're too amazing!

Youaki#1: [thinking] That's Kurama...
Youkai#2: [thinking]  He just observed his enemy...  Waste of time!
Kurama: [waling alone down the passageway, thinking] They're really strong...  I can't use my actual power in the fight...  [Remembering Genkai: Hiei, Kurama, your task is to observe closely their fight.]  Hiei, he didn't watch, perhaps he has a reason.  If only...  ...I could retransform myself.

Title: The 50th Anniversary!!!
[Karasu and Bui face Kurama in the passageway]

Page 149
Karasu: You are the only observer?  You have guts.
Kurama: Not really.
Karasu: Don't be nervous.  There are two days  before the four of you will die.
Kurama: [sweating]  Four?

Page 150
Karasu: One of you will die today.  You'll know in a little while.
[Bui hits the wall.]
Kurama: ?! [Thinking]  Ahh!  He disappeared!  The moment I looked at Bui!  But where...?  [Delicate hands reach out to Kurama's hair.]

Page 151
[Karasu's hands are around Kurama's throat.]
Karasu: Your hair is damaged.  You've come for treatment?  It shouldn't be neglected.  Humans are so fragile.
Kurama: Bastard!!!  [Hits back at Karasu]

Page 152
Karasu: Heh heh...  It was just for laughs.  Despite your appearances, you are aggressive.  Of the five, you are my favourite.  When I kill one I like...  It depresses me a little, as when I ask myself the reason for my existence.  But from this sensation, I receive enormous excitement...  It will go better in two days...
[Karasu and Bui leave; Kurama is sweating heavily.]

Page 153
Kurama: [thinking]  I can't win...  Not under these conditions.
[In the woods]
Toguro: Genkai...  You have taken the blow of age.

Page 154
Genkai: And you, you haven't changed.  The same, after 50 years.

Page 155
Genkai: I didn't think to find myself fifty years later in this tournament.  What's more, you were an old ally.  Why have you called me?
Toguro: You cannot guess why?  All simply to teach you of this cruelty.  Why did you wear a mask?  Did you want to hide yourself form me?

Page 156
Genkai: What is it that you can do?  This place is full of monsters.  A good number of them would like to kill me.
Toguro: You have already transmitted your powers?
Genkai: ...  I have given them to Yusuke.
Toguro: [grinning]  Well.  I have no more need of you.

Page 157
Togruo: More precisely, I can no longer suffer to see you.  Your old age makes me pity you.  Raahh [Muscles grow]
Genkai: You haven't really changed.  You don't have the fight in your head.

Page 158
[Flashback to fifty years ago, young Genkai and human Toguro fighting side by side]
Toguro: Our power is at its peak.  I would like it if time stood still.  I'm afraid...  I'm afraid of the day when someone stronger than us will appear.  I'm afraid that this day will come, my body won't be at its height.  I don't want that.  Man is vulnerable.
Genkai: For you and me, old age is inevitable.  That's the way it is...
[End flashback]

Page 159
Genkai: Me too, I'm angry.  I can no longer stand to see a guy who sold his soul to the devil!!!
Toguro: Ah, yes?  In that case, one of us must die.

Page 160
Toguro: [attacking] For us both, Genkai!!!
Genkai: [thinking]  Only three Reiguns remain.  I must give it all!!!

Page 161
[Yusuke sits up in bed, a serious expression on his face]
Kuwa: Oh?  Yusuke, you're awake?  What's with the face?!
Yusuke: Toguro is fighting.
Kuwa: Hm?  Yeah, he must be in training to prepare himself.  Eh!!!  Yusuke!!!  Where are you going like that?!!

Page 162
[Out the front of the hotel]
Kuwa: Eh, Yusuke!!!  The stadium, it's over there!  [Yusuke runs of in the opposite direction.]  He...  He's fast!!!

Page 163
Karasu: They're starting.
[Genkai and Toguro exchange blows.]

Page 164
[Toguro's left arm is hanging by a few shreds of skin and muscle from his shoulder; he drops a small piece of Genkai's muscle from his fingers.]
Toguro: Would you like me to pull out your heart?  You have made some progress in these engagements.
Genkai: [thinking]  Two more...
