Help!
Help me!
In order to rescue Keiko and Yukina,
Yusuke and the others went to Kubikukuri Island.
Still unaware of Genkai's death, Yusuke fought against Younger Toguro.
Now let's see it.
The power she gave you.
What did you say?
Meanwhile, roundworm monsters began to pour out of the hole
opened by the sinkhole.
Sakyo wanted to connect the Demon World to the Human World and summon yokai.
Is it
even possible
to stop him?
Bastard…
I guess I'll hold back a little less this time.
No, no!
Isn't this place supposed to be safe?!
Well,
who can say?
-"Who can say?" -I don't want to die!
-Just go! -Move!
I suppose it's time to dice you up.
Yukimura!
You surprised me, girl.
Do you want to die first that badly?
It finally appeared! My Spirit Sword!
Master!
If you had something like that, why didn't you use it?
I beat him, so what does it matter?
Kuwabara…
Kuwabara!
Someone as idiotic as you…
is fun to fool.
Koenma!
It won't hold for long.
No way.
The hole is widening at an insane speed.
There's clearly some artificial force.
That was close. Your aim's not too bad.
You've finally shown your face.
You scumbag…
Do you have any idea what you're doing?
If you keep widening that hole, yokai will swarm through.
I suppose so.
If that happens,
you humans won't stand a chance.
What are you trying to achieve?!
I want to see a larger world.
The world as it should be,
before you separated the Human World and the Demon World.
Not with this small hole.
It has to be a bigger hole.
I want to connect the Human World and the Demon World.
Don't you want to remove these boring borders,
and strive for a fairer world?
I won't let you do that!
Is that so?
But this barrier…
I wonder how long it will last.
The fact that you're showing your face here
means that the barrier won't hold for long, right?
What will you do?
Do you want to continue this contest of power?
Hiei!
Sorry.
We got held up.
Kurama…
Thanks.
Don't get me wrong.
I have no intention of helping you.
How about it?
Shall we make a bet?
A bet?
If those boys win, I'll stop the machine.
On the other hand, if Toguro wins,
take down your barrier.
Even if we win,
there's no guarantee you won't make a machine like this again.
In that case,
how about I bet my life on it?
I've devoted my life to achieving this dream.
For this,
I am willing to bet my life.
Those words…
Don't forget them.
Toguro.
Apologies, but please fight all of them.
Does this mean the plan's changed?
Yes. That's right.
Aye-aye, sir.
Sorry, Yusuke.
The survival of the Human World is now in your hands.
That's got nothing to do with me.
I'm just gonna take this guy out and save Keiko.
Come on.
Very nice.
I can't deal with this anymore!
Wha--
Where has she gone?
Is that all the power you have?
I guess I was a fool for expecting more.
There's no point fighting you at 100%.
Shit, we won't make it.
Dammit!
Yusuke!
Stay back!
You bastard!
Hey! You've already got them sorted out?
Poor things.
And over here too?
I expected nothing less of my younger brother.
It looks like Genkai died in vain after all!
The master?
What did you just say?
Seriously?
You didn't know?
In that case, let me tell you
in a simple way.
Like a puppet show.
Stop it!
Once upon a time,
there was a young man and a young woman.
The two of them
were friends who wanted to master the martial arts together.
However, as the years passed,
the woman grew old and ugly,
while the man, for the sake of martial arts,
became a yokai with the help of the Demon World,
preserving his youth.
Toguro… used to be human?!
The woman, after giving her power to her student,
foolishly challenged the man to a fight,
only to be defeated herself.
And that's how Genkai
was killed by my little brother
and went on up to heaven.
What a happy ending!
You're in my way, Big Brother.
Hey, hey.
What are you doing to your own flesh and blood?
Didn't you sell your soul as well?
That's beside the point.
I don't remember selling my honor.
You bastard!
Why…
Why did you kill my master?
She was worthless after entrusting her power to her student.
However,
it seems she entrusted it to the wrong person.
She was desperate to let you escape.
I also entrust you with my hope.
Your training is hereby complete.
You may leave this mountain.
Get stronger, Yusuke.
So you can protect everyone.
Incredible.
So that's the power of the Spirit Wave Orb.
If he keeps at it, he can win.
Unfortunately,
there's no longer any possibility of that.
What?
I take back what I said just now.
You are the first person I can call…
an "adversary."
Originally,
I had arranged for Toguro to lose this battle.
To squeeze some money out of the nouveau riche.
It was fixed?!
Yes.
But that's no longer necessary.
Now that the plan has changed,
the fun can begin.
This is pure strength.
Even the pneumatic pressure from just the flick of my fingers can be a weapon.
Based on my experience as a former human,
I can see you're lacking something.
A sense of danger.
Could it be
that you still believe you're not going to die?
It seems like
I may have made a very dangerous bet.
Koenma!
I found it!
The event that caused Toguro to be reincarnated as a yokai!
Fifty years ago,
Toguro's own students were killed by a yokai named Kairen.
This yokai appeared in order to fight Toguro.
After winning,
it seems that the yokai
ate those students.
What will it take for you to unlock your full power?
Pain?
Fear of death?
To get that power out of you…
I'll even throw away my honor.
Like this.
I won't miss next time.
So you have rage after all.
But it's still not enough.
Anger alone won't suffice.
Was I not clear?
Stop.
I won't miss next time.
Stop!
Get out of my way.
Hiei!
Kurama!
I still… owe you one.
Kurama!
I won't let you hurt them.
I'll have you die.
To get Urameshi's power out of him.
Isn't it tragic, Urameshi?
You are…
so powerless.
You're… supposed to be stronger than this.
Unforgivable.
Most of all, I can't forgive myself.
Yusuke's Spirit Energy is coming close to Toguro's power.
But can he fight with his Spirit Energy in such disorder?
I don't know.
Right now, underpinning Yusuke's Spirit Energy is tremendous sadness.
It's incredibly strong,
but severely unreliable.
I'll protect everyone.
That's what I promised Master Genkai.
You don't need friends anymore.
You're just like me.
Throw everything away and grow stronger.
I'm not like you.
I can't throw them away.
I must protect them with my all.
How naive.
How very naive.
In the end, you're nothing more than Genkai's student.
If I kill one more, will you understand? Or do I need to kill them all?
I finally understand the weight of what you've thrown away.
It's like our master said.
What you have is not strength.
I won't let you kill anyone else.
That's why I'm going to beat you.
Good look in your eyes.
I'm putting all of my power…
into this one shot.
This will decide it!
Toguro…
You can do it, Yusuke!
Yusuke…
Spirit Gun!
Yusuke!
You have my gratitude, Urameshi.
This is the first time I've used
this much power.
So this is your strength, huh?
Not bad.
He…
He won.
Yukina!
I'm glad you're okay.
This was all my fault.
I'm so sorry!
I should be the one apologizing.
Humans did these horrible things to you.
But…
even among humans,
there are plenty of good guys too.
Don't end up hating all humans.
I…
like you guys.
-Ouch! -Are you okay?
Where does it hurt?
Does it still hurt?
Where does it hurt? Sorry. Don't move.
I don't need this anymore.
Do whatever you want.
I've lost this bet.
The reason
was my failure to see Toguro's true nature.
I suppose that's it.
A tunnel connecting two worlds to bring hell to all humanity…
I had hoped to see it.
Excuse me.
I…
I'm looking for my long-lost big brother.
Although I've never met him.
This…
Does this mean--
Don't get the wrong idea.
It's not me.
I see.
Then, can I ask who you are?
Just a friend.
To those guys.
It's possible this is what Toguro wanted.
To be defeated by somebody truly powerful.
Either way,
for him to choose the harshest hell of all…
Why?
I guess he wants to punish himself.
What?
He said he threw everything away, but it was actually taken from him.
The guilt of being unable to protect them never faded from his mind.
The path he walked was not one of redemption, but of torture.
He said he wanted to become stronger, but he was lying to himself.
What a totally awkward man.
I'm surprised you knew I'd choose this path.
I had a hunch.
Are you really going?
Haven't you already atoned enough?
Even after getting revenge,
you continued to hurt yourself and blame yourself.
Isn't it enough already?
You're wrong.
I put it all behind me after that.
I was able to focus on getting more power, so I'm grateful for what happened.
-Liar! -Genkai.
Just leave me be.
Tell Koenma for me.
Yusuke Urameshi…
He's going to get stronger.
But if he's not careful…
he'll end up like me.
At the very end,
you're worried about the person who beat you?
You really are a fool.
Dying won't heal you.
I've caused you nothing but trouble.
Sorry.
For getting you involved.
Don't be.
I knew you'd come save me.
Anyway, it wasn't all bad.
I made a friend.
Isn't it amazing?
A yokai friend.
That's true.
You too, right? You also made friends.
Stop talking to her. You'll sully her.
You bastard!
What the hell did you say?
Calm down. Ignore him.
Hiei!
Thank you.
For protecting me.
Master!
I kept my promise!
Get away!
Shoo!
