"What the hell is going on?" "This amount of rain is not normal!" "L-Lord Koenma!" "What is it?" "!" "The river Styx is...!" "Hurry!" "Water has broken through the Gate of Judgment!" "There's a crack in the upper part of the Gate...!" "Take the important files!" "W-What shall we do?" " Lord Koenma!" " What is it?" "The Second and Third Levels have been submerged!" "If this keeps up, all the gates will be in danger!" "The shield has collapsed!" "It cannot be repaired!" "It is dangerous, Lord Koenma." "Please seek refuge!" "What's the matter with you, Lord?" "!" "I don't believe it...!" "Summon Botan!" "I will be in the Great Vault!" "But, my Lord, now is not the time to..." "Hurry up!" "Lord Koenma!" "Lord Koenma!" "I'm here, Botan!" "Lord Koenma!" "Lord Koenma!" "This cannot end up in their hands!" "Hurry and take it to Yusuke!" "There is no other way to save the spirit world." " Do you understand?" " Y-Yes!" "Go, Botan!" "I must remain here." "Okay!" "Go, Botan!" "Hurry!" "L-Lord Koenma!" "Poltergeist Report Bonds of Fire" "Where did he go now?" "Boy, I'm hungry." "Maybe I should just eat my lunch now." "B-Botan!" "What happened, Botan?" "Talk to me!" "What happened to you?" "T-The spirit world is..." "The spirit world, the spirit world is...!" "The spirit world is what?" "Botan!" "W-We must go to Kasane Shrine and find Hinageshi." "What?" "!" "P-Please, Yusuke." "Botan!" "Keiko!" "What happened, Botan?" "!" "I don't know what's going on." "Botan..." "Keiko, would you hurry and take Botan to Genkai's temple?" "So, what is at Kasane Shrine?" " I don't know." " You don't know?" "!" "You didn't find out any details?" "There was no time for that!" "You're not any use at all." "I would have found out everything from start to..." "Over there!" "You bastard!" "What do you want?" "Get away from me!" "Shotgun!" "Don't worry." "Die!" "Spirit Sword!" "Oops." "Didn't mean to do that..." " Are you all right?" " Y-Yes!" "You two are investigators from the spirit world, aren't you?" "And you are...?" "My name is Hinageshi." "I am a guide of the spirit world." "Botan!" "What is this?" "What could have...?" "!" "How is her condition?" "It's in the balance." "Something serious must have happened to the spirit world." "Kurama!" "The spirit world... was gone." "What?" "!" "Actually, that is not accurate." "I should say it was covered by water." "B-But why?" "Some immeasurably strong power must have gained control." "No way..." "What could have the power to do that?" "When I was there, some phantoms wearing the pattern of a cross on their foreheads... were looking for something." "It must have been the netherworld!" "The netherworld...?" "Right." "Those phantoms were demons controlled by the netherworld." "Their symbol is that cross." "Hold it." "What is this "netherworld"?" "As far as I know, there are just the human world, the spirit world, and the demon world." "Ah, here it is." "To begin with, above the human world lies the spirit world." "The two of them are in balance." "Well, humans who have died do go to the spirit world." "And the netherworld was originally... above and in balance with the demon world." "Then, several thousand years ago, the netherworld began a war with the spirit world... in order to gain possession of the human world." "Exactly how we were able to defeat them is unknown... but Emperor Enma did finally destroy the netherworld and... banish their King Yakumo and his men to the darkness of space." "So, how did the netherworld come back into existence?" "If the netherworld is responsible for this disturbance... it could become a very dangerous situation." "We cannot repel them alone." "The netherworld..." "In any case, it has nothing to do with me." "Yukina is here?" "Yukina!" "She's with Botan." "Hello, Yukina!" "How've you been?" "Yukina..." "Kazuma..." "I'm sorry." "I'm glad to see you, but..." "Don't." "But, why is Botan...?" "An unhappy face like that doesn't suit you, Yukina." "I, Kazuma Kuwahara, shall resolve everything!" "Soon we will all be smiling happily again." "Yukina!" "A-Are you all right?" "Your temperature is going up and up." "That is the power of love." "He is so hard to understand." "You're in the way, Kuwahara." "Yukina..." "Why don't you tell Yukina that you are her older brother?" "I don't need your advice." "Hiei..." "You saw the condition of the spirit world, too." "This is no ordinary event." "How would I know?" "What should we do, Hinageshi?" "We have to transmit power to the spirit world." "How?" "Look." "There are places in the human world called... elemental sites which naturally collect spiritual energy." "Elemental sites?" "You mean storage tanks for spiritual power?" "Yes, something like that." "There are five of these elemental sites... representing the Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and the Spirit." "If they all are unsealed, that amassed spiritual power will be sent to the spirit world." "And with that power it would be restored!" " Right." " So, where are they?" "I know where!" "All right!" "Leave it to me!" "Come, my servants!" "Are you here?" "Your three demon gods have arrived, Lord Yakumo." "Our strategy has entered the second stage." "Make the power of the elemental sites ours." " Go!" " Yes, Lord." "Okay, turn at this corner, so north is behind you..." "Where the hell is it?" "Hold on a minute!" "L-Is this an earthquake?" "What's that?" "It's..." "It's the elemental site representing Earth!" " What?" "!" " Let's hurry, Yusuke!" "W-What's going on?" "What the...?" "!" "This is no good!" "What do you mean?" "Look at that color." "The elemental site has been destroyed." "What is streaming out is not spiritual power... but the power of the netherworld!" "What?" "!" "Those demons are able to convert spiritual power to netherworld power." "So, that netherworld power..." "If they steal the power from each of the elemental sites, then..." "Then...?" "The spirit world will remain inaccessible!" "And there will be nothing we can do!" " Right." " Let's hurry!" "They may be ahead of us." "We must protect the other sites!" " Okay!" " Let's split up!" "I can't even repay Botan the kindness I owe her." "Kindness?" "I always made mistakes and caused a lot of problems for Botan." " And now I can't..." " You're wrong." "It's too early to give up!" "Umm..." "Oh, it's this way!" "Up these stairs!" "Okay." "Hurry up!" "What's wrong?" "Everything is completely different!" "It crumbled just like that!" "Netherworld demons." "They got here ahead of us again!" "We may still make it!" "Wait!" "Look!" "That's the elemental site of Fire!" "What?" "!" "Hold it!" "Don't touch that!" "It's over, Hinageshi!" "What do we do now?" "What, more?" "Hinageshi!" "Damn!" "My body is..." "No!" "Stop!" "What is this?" "!" "S-Stop!" "No." "This girl is not the one." "Wait!" "It seems your friend is still here." "Stop, you!" "You really did it now." "You bastard!" "Damn!" "You are not a normal human, are you?" "You must be a tool of the spirit world." "Who are you?" "!" "I am Yakumo, king of the netherworld." "It's Yakumo!" "Here we go, Yakumo!" "Spirit gun!" "It didn't get through!" "Your spiritual power is nothing." "Get out of here!" "Yusuke!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Yusuke!" "Yakumo, king of the netherworld..." "But why is he...?" "D-Damn." "The Power Sphere..." "source of our energy..." "Plundered in the past by the spirit world..." "Once it has been returned, our hopes will finally be realized." "The leaders of the spirit world must have hidden it well." "They would not let it be protected by such small fry." "Where is it?" "Where did they hide it?" "This must be the elemental site of the Soul." "All right, time to open it up." "What's that?" "Fools are amusing." "W-Who are you?" "I am Majari, one of the three demon gods of the netherworld." "I shall destroy that elemental site." "What did you say?" "You think I'll let you do that?" "I shall kill anyone in my way." "Aren't you superior?" "Spirit sword!" "Looks interesting." "Bastard!" "Spirit sword!" "Let me show you what I am known for." "I can mirror my opponents." "I have copied your skills and your ideas." "You have no chance at victory." "Say that after we've fought!" "Bastard." "It's over there!" "Don't mess with me!" "All right." "I have taken your past." "Who is that?" ""Who is that?"" "I can't believe you would say that to your old partner." "Kuronue..." "Or do you mean to say you have forgotten your terrible past?" "Kurama Yoko." "You are still alive!" "Try to remember that day." "That day we snuck into the palace of the demon world." " Don't, Kuronue!" " I need it!" "Kuronue!" "Traitor!" "You deliberately cut my pendant in order to trap me!" "You sacrificed me so that you alone could escape!" "You're wrong!" "That's ridiculous." "How dare you say that after trying to kill me!" "What are you talking about?" "That day, I..." "I..." "To save you, I..." "You set a trap for me." "Then... you left me to die while you saved yourself." "Take this!" "Wait, Kuronue!" "It appears that we have opened the other sites." "Shoot!" " Kuwahara!" " Wait!" "Look at his weapon!" "A spirit sword!" "That demon is able to mirror his opponent's techniques." "He is Majari, one of the three demon gods of the netherworld." " What...?" " You can't help!" "If you try, he'll steal your techniques, too!" "Now, we finish it." "Kuwahara!" "Stop joking around!" "Even if this is the end, I will never let you have it." "Here!" "Not bad." "Though I will not be defeated either." "You don't have any more tricks, do you?" "I won't be careless again." "Fool!" "I just developed a new killing technique!" "What?" "!" "Impressive... releasing your entire store of spiritual energy at once." "Thank you for teaching me how." "Pitiful bastard." "I caught you!" "Kuwahara." "Now you're all out of energy, too, Majari." "What...?" "I'm telling you it's useless!" "Y-You..." "There is something I'm proud of too." "In a true contest of guts..." "I have... never been... beaten!" "I win." "That's it." "Kuwahara!" "Hey, Kuwahara!" "Hurry and unseal it." "Watch out!" "Jump, Yusuke!" "Hiei!" "The final site...!" "With this, the basis for the restoration of the netherworld is complete." "Lord Yakumo..." "Is it definite?" "Yes." "One more female from the spirit world exists." "I have waited many years for this... the moment the netherworld will be restored on new territory." "W-Where are we?" "Are we alive?" "Look!" "It appears that we were somehow flung over here." "What do we do now?" "That must be it." "A shield has been built around the area the netherworld appeared in." "Why isn't the city in an uproar?" "That is the power of the netherworld." "Nobody is noticing things that they normally would." "Where's Yusuke?" "Keiko was going to get a change of clothes, and he said he was going with her to check on Botan." "What's wrong, Hiei?" "If no one has a good plan, I'll take care of it myself." "Botan!" "There is tremendous energy." "Who are you?" "Shall I...?" "Don't bother." "This is my temple!" "How dare you enter without permission!" "He's strong!" "What?" "!" "She is able to repel Lord Yakumo's ghostly power!" "That is it." "Wait!" "S-Stay away!" "So, it was actually true." "Stay away!" "The Power Sphere is inside this girl's body." "What's that?" "Stay here, Keiko!" "Yusuke!" "Hold it!" "You bastard!" "You again?" "You can't stand the fact that I beat you." "Like a whipped dog." "What did you say?" "Yusuke!" "Keiko!" "Learn your place!" "I, Yakumo, have retrieved the Power Sphere of the netherworld!" "Power..." "Sphere...?" "The moment of the netherworld's restoration has arrived." "This is the source of our power!" "B-Botan!" " Are you injured?" " I am fine." "Yukina..." "Yukina!" "She just fell asleep." "Damn...!" "Yusuke, Keiko's injuries are not serious." "Those bastards said they had found a Power Sphere inside of Botan." "Now they have the Power Sphere, the source of their energy..." "Even though they have retrieved the Power Sphere... the netherworld is extinct." "With no place to go and the spirit world disempowered..." "Yakumo and his brethren have one aim in mind." "Right." "It is to obtain their true restoration here in the human world." "Botan probably knew that... when Koenma entrusted her with the Sphere." "She hid it inside her own body so that those demons wouldn't find it." "She risked her own life... knowing that its power would overwhelm her like that." "And we never realized." "If only I had some spiritual power remaining..." "You left me for dead." "Botan..." "You wanted me to notice." "If only I had been more aware..." "I'm so sorry." "Keiko!" "You are afraid of me." "Botan!" "I shall take the Power Sphere and this girl." "Twice..." "I haven't been able to save Botan." "Please, Yusuke." "Even now," "Botan is trying to prevent them from having their Power Sphere." "It's no joke!" "You think I'll let you get away with that?" "!" "Yakumo!" "We may have no chance, but we cannot let it end this way!" "The spirit world and human world cannot be wiped out." "This time we will start the attack from our side." "Botan, I swear I will..." "Yusuke." "Let's take a different road." "No, it makes no difference." "You are correct." " Kuronue!" " You know him?" "He was a partner of mine back when I was a thief." "Let me take care of it." "Kurama, are you still against your old partner?" "His old partner?" "Is he okay?" "Come, Kurama!" "Kurama!" "You are truly despicable." "In the past, you fled and left me to die." "Now, you are trying to destroy our dream." "Kuronue, it is true that I could not rescue you that day... but please believe this." "L..." "Silence!" "Kurama!" "Damn!" "We can't do anything in this fog." "This is his problem." "He has to resolve it himself." "Rose whip!" "What's wrong?" "You're not fighting back?" "Kuronue, what you are trying to do now is wrong." "You say it's wrong?" "How dare you say that!" "Listen to me, Kuronue!" "Shut up!" "You still haven't remembered, have you?" "Your dirty act." "Traitor!" "Traitor!" "Traitor!" "Traitor!" "Traitor!" "What's that eerie noise?" "I thought so." "What is it?" "He's causing many scythes like this to resonate and create a shield." "Inside it, he is able to create evil hallucinations." "So, Kurama has been tricked." "Now you can make up for your ugly past!" "I..." "What's wrong, Kurama?" "You want to kill me to save yourself again?" "No, he's wrong." "That time, his pendant..." "I will use this scythe to cleanse your ugly soul." "What?" "Stop, Kuronue!" "Forget about me and run, Kurama!" "Now, the final blow!" "Die!" "Y-You..." "The one with the ugly rotten soul is you!" "You are not my old friend Kuronue!" "Show me your true form!" "How did you discover my trick?" "I could tell." "First, Kuronue always carried this with him." "He would never throw it away." "What's more, no matter the circumstances... he would never attack an enemy from the rear." "Take this!" "Kuronue risked his own life, telling me to run away." "You twisted the friendship between me and Kuronue to your advantage!" "What's this?" "So even someone like you, who is so cool... occasionally gets angry." "That's good to know." "Not being able to rescue Kuronue that day..." "Kurama." "There is no one who does not have scars on his heart." "If there were someone like that, he would be a shallow bastard." "Let's go!" "Okay." "Damn!" "What do we do?" "We can cross at that flood gate!" "What?" "!" "All right, let's go!" "What?" "!" "W-Who is that?" "You maggots are persistent, aren't you?" "Oh, are you planning to fight again?" "It seems you won't learn till I crush you... like that old lady and little girl in the temple." "What?" "!" "You're the bastard who attacked Genkai and Yukina!" "And what if I was?" "Bastard!" "I, Kazuma Kuwahara, shall punish you!" "What are you doing, Hiei?" "!" "Leave this scum to me." "You have no chance without your spiritual power!" "I will not let you live!" "What the...?" "You cannot treat me like the others, Hiei." "You are no match for my Evil Eye!" "What...?" "That's Raiko, another of the three demon gods of the netherworld." "What type of creature is he?" "A very powerful one." "He is a demon who can draw out wickedness... from his opponent's soul and manipulate it with his Evil Eye." "Draw out wickedness...?" "Hiei is going to become evil!" "Take this, hell-scum!" "Damn." "Let your eyes open to the evil which dwells in your soul!" "What...?" "Awaken the evil which sleeps in the depths of your heart!" " W-What's that?" "!" " No, Hiei!" "If he looks into that evil abyss for too long... he will be pulled into their evil world." "Evil Eyes!" "That is correct." "Now the eyes will open... and you shall despise your friends." "Your true character is an incarnation of evil!" "Go after them!" "Your power is now at its maximum." "Smash them!" "Hiei!" "Stop!" "He's preparing for the Black Dragon Wave!" "We're doomed if he uses it!" "You cannot attack us, Hiei!" "Now!" "Fire, Hiei!" "Hiei, you bastard, showing us your true evil character!" "Hiei!" "Don't underestimate me!" "What?" "!" "You bastard!" "Part of the shield has...!" "A path has been opened!" "Hiei!" "Those Evil Eyes could not seduce my Black Dragon." "W-What's going on?" "Hiei wasn't tricked at all." "Hiei!" "Using the Black Dragon Wave against those Evil Eyes has... exhausted all his energy." "Are you okay?" "Don't worry about me." "There is no time." "Hurry!" "Okay!" " Let's go!" " Okay!" "Boy, you sure are a troublemaker." " Here we go." " Kuwahara!" "We all have to see the conclusion." "Let's go!" "That's it!" "Let's go." "So, Raiko and the others are dead." "It doesn't matter." "If the Power Sphere of the netherworld is returned... we will make the human world our own." "Our years of pain shall finally end." "Now you shall return the Netherworld Power Sphere to me." "Even unconscious, you are using your final bit of energy to resist." "It is useless!" "I am the only one who can handle the Power Sphere!" "You will only suffer with it." "Botan!" " Wait!" " Leave!" "This is it!" "What?" "I will never give it to you!" "Botan!" "It is useless!" "Let go, woman!" "Botan!" "Botan!" "I'm sorry, Hinageshi." "Involving you in this dangerous situation..." "Don't be ridiculous!" "I should have realized sooner." "I'm sorry." "T-Thank you." "I knew that you would find out." "Botan!" "Y-Yusuke." "I couldn't protect... the Power Sphere." "Get it back." "Botan!" "Botan!" "Here I go." "I won't let you die, Botan!" "I won't let you do whatever you want!" "The origin of the netherworld's strength, the Power Sphere has returned." "Now I shall restore our world." "I shall become god and master of this place!" "Humans seem to be quite stupid creatures." "Do you think you can match me?" "We don't necessarily attack because we think we can win." "Then is the great aim of protecting the world for a sense of justice?" "That is wrong, too!" "What incomprehensible creatures." "W-What is this?" "What's going on...?" " Hurry!" " Okay." "Botan!" "Hinageshi!" "I am going to create my own world." "What is wrong with that?" "Why are you doing it in the human world?" "You are the ones who called me." "What?" "!" "You said, "Please visit."" "It is true... that my world was beaten in a battle with the spirit world... and was sealed in the darkness of outer space." "I waited patiently for an opportunity." "And I collected the evil power of those humans... who were sent into space by the spirit world." "I gathered enough power to destroy the seal." "I seem to get along just fine with that evil human power... which the spirit world could not handle." "Damn." "Our souls set him loose!" "What happened?" "Now I shall let you taste the power of human beings' wicked hearts!" " He's just playing around!" " It's no match!" "D-Damn!" "Yusuke!" "You should not waste your remaining bit of spiritual energy." "He's fast!" "Hurry and get behind the pole!" "Botan." "Spirit gun!" "What happened?" "This is my world." "I said everything is according to my thoughts." "You cannot harm me." "You are a fool, harming yourself with your own power." "Have you wasted your remaining bit of spiritual power?" "This is no good!" "I'll make this the end!" "Kuwahara!" "What?" "!" "You fool." "Yusuke isn't your only opponent." "Did you forget that I'm still here?" "!" "What can you, a human being without spiritual energy, do?" "Kuwahara!" "I'm the one fighting!" "S-Stop!" "I'm..." "You rest there!" "I'll finish him off now." "Are you protecting each other?" "What's so funny?" "The reason you are weak... is because you are stuck believing in that facile friendship." "Shut up!" "Don't you know the meaning of fear?" "Your body should be feeling the disparity in our power." "The time has come to change the human world into the netherworld!" "Damn!" "What's happening?" "Die!" "I shall blow away you and your world!" "Return the Power Sphere of the Netherworld!" "Give it back!" "You can't keep that thing which Botan almost died to...!" "Hinageshi!" "Hinageshi!" "Don't mess with me!" "Stop!" "You'll die!" "Hiei!" "Kurama!" "Yu..." "Yusuke..." "What happened to the Power Sphere?" "I have no more spiritual power." "But in there..." "What's wrong, boy?" "You are certainly strong... and we may simply not be a match for you." "But..." "But, if I did nothing..." "I could not forgive myself!" "It is useless." "Even Emperor Enma of the spirit world... could not handle the Netherworld Power Sphere and had to seal it up." "I am the only one who can manage it." "Yusuke." "Yusuke!" "Yusuke..." "Now, into my hands the sphere of the netherworld..." "What?" "Impossible!" "Yusuke!" "Yusuke is burning his soul into pure power." "Kuwahara!" "Let me help you, Yusuke." "I have too much spiritual power." "Do it, Yusuke!" "I can't wait." "Kurama, Hiei, let's go!" "It can't be!" "Does he really have the strength to change the netherworld's power... into spiritual energy?" "The feelings of all four have become one." "Take this!" "Go!" "Did we do it?" "It's over." "It has finally been settled." "Where are Hinageshi and Botan?" "Let's find them!" "Hinageshi!" "Guys!" "This is my final blow!" "Take this!" "Spirit gun!" "Botan!" "Hang in there, Botan!" "Botan!" "Koenma." "Is it you, Koenma!" "A-Are we still alive?" "Has the spirit world been restored?" "!" "Yusuke." " It's finally over." " Yeah, somehow." "Did that bastard really die?" "I don't know." "He could be hiding among us." "That's not even funny!" "But if he is, we'll give him another good beating!"
