Get the head.
His head is bleeding, and his breathing is shallow.
-Okay! -Understood!
-Chief, no dangerous objects found! -Okay!
Watch out! Step aside!
-EMTs have arrived! -The area is safe!
All right, let's rescue them.
25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
Okay!
Stopping CPR. Beginning ECG analysis.
Monitor VF.
Move back.
-All clear! -All clear!
Activate defibrillator!
Okay!
Still flatlining.
-Move to the ambulance. -Okay!
One, two, three!
What the hell is going on?
Yusuke!
Please stay back!
-Yusuke! -Wait! Listen to me!
I'm right here!
-It's him. -Okay.
-Hey! -Yusuke!
She knows the victim.
-Please come with us. -Yes!
-Hold on! Listen to me! -Yusuke!
-Listen! -Yusuke!
Watch the door!
SARAYASHIKI CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT
Hey, asshole…
Am I dead?
FOUR HOURS AGO
Just when I thought you'd finally come to school.
What are you doing skipping class?
Shut up, you ugly busybody.
What do you want?
Don't call me "ugly," idiot.
The teacher's looking for you.
It's probably just another lecture.
You can ignore him.
No way.
Even I get scolded just because we're childhood friends.
All right, fine. I'll go, okay?
For goodness' sake.
Kirino!
Hey.
You know this isn't enough, right?
See? You do have more.
Ow!
Hey!
What are you doing?!
You delinquent.
Extortion is a new low.
No, he…
Dirtbags like you who flout public morals are the worst kind of trash!
We have no need for people like you in this school!
Shut it. I'll do what I want.
Urameshi!
The rest of you, get back to class!
Mr. Sakyo, I understand you're working on a new business,
using the casino's profits to give back to the city.
That's right.
The sinkhole has been there for many years,
and I plan to put it to good use.
That huge pit has become a symbol of Sarayashiki City.
If I can use that to provide entertainment,
I'm sure I can make this dull world a little more interesting.
It will breathe new life into the world.
In terms of implementing this new business venture,
what are your thoughts on proceeding?
Yusuke, what happened to school?
I got pissed off and ditched.
As punishment for playing hooky, make me some coffee.
All right, all right.
If you don't want to go, just drop out.
It's not easy for a single mom to earn your tuition.
Now my mom's lecturing me?
Give me a break.
If you don't like getting scolded, become independent,
you good-for-nothing freeloader.
Okay, fine.
Is today my unlucky day or what? Goddammit.
Urameshi!
Just quit it, Kuwabara. Didn't we settle this yesterday?
Shut up!
I wasn't in good form yesterday,
but today, I'm gonna take you down.
I'm in a bad mood right now.
You better not regret it.
Kuwabara, calm down!
Shut up! Let go of me!
Kuwabara! Wait!
-Let's let him off the hook for now! -Shut up!
Kuwa-- Kuwabara!
I'm not done yet…
You really don't quit.
-Kuwabara! -Are you okay? Kuwabara!
Let's leave it at that for now. Yeah?
I haven't lost yet!
You haven't lost! You put up a great fight!
Our fight is between two rivals! Stay away!
Kuwabara, your rival has left!
Kuwabara!
WELCOME TO YUKIMURA DINER
Thank you!
Let's go, Masaru!
Okay!
Welcome!
-Welcome! -Ramen!
-One ramen! -Coming right up!
SARAYASHIKI CITY SHOPPING ARCADE YUKIMURA DINER
I'm sorry.
"Sorry" doesn't fix anything.
I'm sorry, but we're letting people through in order.
-Everyone's stuck here. -How much longer will it take?
Geez, come on.
What are they doing? Come on, let's go! These idiots…
What's the holdup, dammit?
What are they doing?
Oh, come--
-I'm back! -Welcome back!
-Hello! -Excuse us!
-Hello! -Welcome!
Wait. Hold on.
Keiko, we're gonna head home.
-But-- -Sorry! See you tomorrow!
Bye!
Wait.
Hey, Yusuke!
What?
At school today, you stopped the bullies, right?
You never explain, so everyone gets the wrong idea!
Shut up. It's too much effort to explain.
Why are you always like this?
It's nothing to do with you.
I've had enough.
In that case, I don't care.
Great! I'm glad.
Later, you ugly busybody.
Don't call me "ugly," idiot!
You delinquent! Go die!
Hey! What's that over there?!
Long ago, the Human World and Demon World were connected.
Humans who wandered into the Demon World fell victim to yokai,
while yokai crept into the Human World to prey on humans.
Later on,
the Spirit World drew a boundary between the two worlds,
separating the Human World from the Demon World.
Or at least, that was the plan.
-Slowly. -Yes.
Looks like I've become a ghost.
Kids these days sure catch on pretty quickly.
A lot of people in sudden accidents like this refuse to believe they're dead.
This helps speed things up.
Who are you exactly?
I'm a guide to the Spirit World.
Call me "Botan."
I'm what the Western world calls a "Grim Reaper."
-Nice to meet you! -Forget "nice to meet you"!
Are you in a bad mood?
Of course!
I might look okay, but I'm in shock.
Can't you put on a more somber face, you idiot?
Oh, I see.
Your personality matches the data.
Yusuke Urameshi, 17 years old.
Rough, violent, short-tempered and reckless…
-Shut your mouth! -…poorly behaved and not very intelligent.
Fighting, smoking, drinking, gambling…
Is this true?
Problem, scumbag?
-You sound like the spawn of evil. -Wanna fight?
Maybe it's a good thing you died?
Shut up! Leave me alone!
Where are you going? I haven't finished.
His forehead and hands are a little grazed,
but there are no fractures, and his brain is fine.
Thank goodness!
I'm so sorry, Masaru…
No need for him to be hospitalized, so he can go home today.
Okay… Um…
The student who saved Masaru…
All right.
That'll do.
Botan, right?
To hell or wherever,
take me away.
Appearances can be deceiving, right?
Also, you've misunderstood.
You're not going to hell, heaven, or anywhere for that matter.
What are you talking about?
To tell you the truth,
your death was not anticipated by the Spirit World.
Even the Buddha himself couldn't have imagined
that a delinquent like you would sacrifice himself to save a child.
A once-in-a-100-years anomaly.
"Anomaly"?
We have a lot more to discuss.
Well, we can do that after we get to the Spirit World.
My boss will explain.
-We're going to the Spirit World? -Yes.
Right now.
What's this?
The Spirit World is on a higher plane than the third dimension.
What does that mean?
Think of it as a strange and mysterious world.
That's where my boss works.
And who is this boss of yours exactly?
Enma, of course.
Enma?
Seriously?
Wanna play?
Thanks.
Does it hurt?
I'm okay.
Thank you.
Here.
Thank you.
In that case, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Are you okay?
-Thank you. -It's fine.
-You're too kind. -Thank you.
-Don't mention it. -Thanks.
It's Botan.
-I brought Yusuke Urameshi. -Ah.
I'm almost done. Give me a minute.
Shut up, you old geezer!
Run, quickly!
Quickly, go!
You little brats!
What's he doing?
He's dividing the souls of the dead between heaven and hell.
The process is quite different from what I've heard.
You must be talking about the old era.
We've worked hard to improve efficiency, and this is the result.
Dammit!
Welcome.
Make yourself at home.
You're
Enma?
I am King Enma Jr., also known as Koenma.
And watch your mouth.
What?
Never mind.
As you can see, I'm so busy I could die.
So I'll cut to the chase.
Yusuke Urameshi.
I'm sending you back to life.
In exchange, you'll be a Spirit Detective.
What's that?
Your main job will be
solving cases involving yokai in the Human World.
The position has been vacant for some time since your predecessor left,
but something troubling has come up.
This is a yokai called a Roundworm Monster.
They usually inhabit the Demon World,
but for some reason, they have entered the Human World.
Go and investigate the reason why the Roundworm Monster
has appeared in the Human World.
Surely you won't refuse since we're reviving you.
Nah, I'm good.
You'll go back to life. Why would you refuse?
I don't wanna be told what to do even as a ghost.
Also… I'm sure everyone will be relieved I'm dead.
See ya.
Wait a second.
That was fun! It was my first time.
-Let's play that one next. -Okay.
Mr. Tarukane is here.
Are you having a good time, Mr. Tarukane?
I've lost 200 million yen.
Place all your remaining chips on 22.
-Wow! -Incredible!
Congratulations.
I see.
So it's fixed.
Inconceivable.
It's all luck.
By the way, I heard you're trying to start a new business
with that sinkhole you bought from me.
Yes.
You're well-informed.
You're the only oddball interested in that hole in the ground.
Is there treasure buried down there or something?
No.
There is just a hole.
Just a hole that keeps going.
All the way
to the Demon World.
Congratulations!
Whoa! I won!
Wow!
You're very sentimental for a 17-year-old.
You again?
You really don't want to go back to life?
I've been doing this job for a long time.
The best way to tell what people thought of a person when they were alive
is at their wake.
You should think about what to do after visiting yours.
Okay, next!
-Hungry? -I'm thinking of ramen today.
Yeah! That or Chinese soba.
That's the same thing.
Yeah. Just what I expected.
Kirino! Perfect timing!
What have you got there?
Hand it over.
Why would you give money to a dead guy?
These assholes again.
A condolence gift?
Watch your hands! Hey!
Give it back!
Give it back to me!
You piece of shit.
Stop, Kuwabara! This is a wake!
-Stop him! Stop! -Hey…
Hey! Let go of me!
Urameshi, you bastard!
Dying right after winning is a sleazy move!
Come back, goddammit!
Kuwabara!
Sorry!
Come back and fight me!
That idiot.
Thank you, Yusuke!
Mom.
Let's come back when he wakes up.
Once he wakes up, I want to say a proper thank-you.
We've done this before.
What?
Don't you remember?
When Yusuke caught a cold.
He dove into the river in the middle of winter.
When I dropped my hat in there.
That's right.
That was the only time
he ever caught a cold.
So I remember it clearly.
That time, too…
you took care of him and never left his side.
Right, Keiko?
Because it was my fault.
Ms. Atsuko,
I said something awful to Yusuke.
I told him to go die.
I didn't mean it at all.
This is all my fault.
I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry.
Ms. Atsuko.
Yusuke…
It's okay.
Yusuke would never take those things to heart.
Don't look so sad.
He would hate to see it.
He's made two grown women cry in one go.
So exasperating!
Hey!
Nice one!
Get him!
More!
Get him!
-Yeah! -More!
One more!
Whoa, hey!
Hey!
As punishment for standing up to us earlier,
how about I burn ya?
That's looking dangerous! That's close!
-Just go! -What do you want?
Get lost.
No one's coming to save you, dumbass.
That's scary!
Burn him! Who cares? Let's do this…
How can this be happening?
That's dangerous!
Dammit…
What was that?
Hold on. Kuwabara? Wait!
Wait, Kuwabara!
Fire!
Fire! Run!
The kid's gone nuts! What the hell?!
Hey! What happened?
Wait! Kuwabara!
Don't stress over that nonsense.
Yusuke!
Hey, Botan.
Yes?
To come back to life…
what did you say I need to do?
You just can't be honest, can you?
But if you've decided, we've got some preparation to do.
Wait here a second.
Koenma, how is Yusuke's body doing?
Reviving him was a success, but we've got a bigger issue right now.
Yusuke, can you hear me?
It's an emergency.
What's going on?
A human possessed by a yokai is on a rampage.
If it keeps going, your home will be in danger.
Yusuke!
Stop, Ms. Urameshi! You'll die too!
Let go of me!
Yusuke's alive! I have to help him!
I understand how you feel, but Yusuke's dead!
It's true! I saw the color suddenly come back to his face!
His heart was beating!
That's not possible! Stay back!
Stop! Let me go!
Let me go! Please!
-I said let me go! -It's not safe!
-Idiot! -Keiko!
Hey, you idiot! Come back!
Forget about my body and run! Quickly!
Hey!
Okay, now we're trapped.
Hey, Keiko!
Keiko!
Hey! Keiko!
Wow.
Hey, Koenma, let me save Keiko!
If she dies, I've got no reason to come back!
I'll listen to whatever you say.
Just bring me back!
Don't forget what you just said!
Yusuke?! What?
Sorry, let's talk later.
Look after Keiko.
Keiko…
Hey, Koenma,
what was that about a rampaging yokai?
It's the Roundworm Monster I mentioned.
It possesses people with negative emotions and amplifies them.
So this is all that thing's fault.
Yusuke,
I'm giving you your first assignment as Spirit Detective.
Stop that Roundworm Monster at all cost!
I'd do it even if you didn't tell me to!
Sawamura, are you okay?
-Stay back! -Kuwabara, this guy's not normal.
-Hey, get off him! -You bastard!
-Hey! -Take that!
Get off him!
Let him go!
Sawamura!
Dammit!
Urameshi?
Why…
Hey, you! Snap out of it!
What the…
Yusuke!
He's possessed by the Roundworm Monster.
He is not moving of his own will.
What does that mean exactly?
Get it out soon, or he'll turn into a yokai!
How do I get it out?
Your only hope is to use Spirit Energy.
What the hell is Spirit Energy?
It's not something I can teach you on the spot!
Teach me how to use Spirit Energy now!
Okay, listen well.
First,
focus all of your Spirit Energy in one part of your body.
Next, and this is the most important part.
The origin of "Spirit Energy…"
Stop wasting time and spit it out!
He asked me to teach him.
You used it just now!
That's the power you need to use!
What is that?
Yusuke!
Calm down, Botan.
All we can do is believe in him and watch over him.
Hurry, Yusuke.
We don't have much time left.
Damn insect, get out!
Hey, snap out of it.
You weren't like this before.
Back at the wake,
you tried to stand up to those bullies, right?
And you're gonna let an insect boss you around?
Snap the hell out of it!
Help me.
I'm gonna get that insect out of you right now!
Get the hell…
out of there!
Hey, you bastard!
Hey, guys.
Hey, Sawamura.
Sawamura!
Hey, Kuwabara.
Urameshi…
Make sure those guys are all right.
Yusuke?
Is it really…
Yeah.
I'm not gonna die just because you talk shit about me.
That hurts, you idiot!
Welcome back.
Thanks.
Yusuke!
Seriously, just stop!
Seriously! That's enough.
I get it.
I said I get it!
That was a close call in a lot of ways.
If that's how our new Spirit Detective fights, we're in trouble.
From what I've heard, they're after you-know-what.
You're going to make him fight them?!
Yusuke won't even stand a chance against them.
I know.
But we can never…
let those things be used for evil.
