Yu Yu Hakusho (幽☆遊☆白書)

We better call in for an ambulance.

I, I swear I didn't mean to...

...it was an accident.

And so it all begins.

This boy's name is Yusuke.

He's fourteen years old,

and is supposed to be the hero of this story.

But oddly enough...

...he's dead.

Okay. This is weird, stupid weird.

Alright people! Clear a path!

Right, here's one.

Besides a few scratches this boy looks just fine!

Well at least one of 'em is.

Hey.

I hate clean-up.

Hey! I'm right here!

Cover this guy up and take the little boy.

Whoa! You think you can do whatever you want

'cause you got that stupid uniform on!

You can't just write me off!

Listen to me!

Well that wasn't normal.

Okay Yusuke, just think.

It's not like this is the first time you've been in a jam.

Oh yeah... Today did start off different. I went to school.

Yusuke Urameshi.

Report to Mr. Takenaka's office immediately, Urameshi!

Do you hear me?!!

Hey, nice skirt.

All the girls have to wear these.

Just like all the boys have to wear blue jump suits--

which--I notice you're not!

Oh , give me a break Keiko. I look better in green.

Maybe I'd be more tolerant Yusuke,

if I could see you in school more than once every ten days!

You give our class a horrible attendance average

which gets me in trouble as class representative,

and plus you won't even be able to graduate middle school!

Sometimes I think you don't care about anyone but yourself

and then you don't even do that right.

You hear me?

Nice uniform... it's lacey.

Yusuke! You perv!

People like you should be strung up in the street!

Dumb boy hasn't grown up a bit since he was four years old!

Keiko.

Is he gone?

Why are you ducking around the corner?

Be-Because we're scared of the Great Urameshi.

I don't see how you can actually talk to him!

Aren't you just terrified of what he might do to you,

or even worse what people might say of it!

Not really.

He just wants you to think that he's dangerous.

On the inside he's more like a lamb.

Yeah but you haven't heard the latest news about him Keiko!

He's super tough, and he kills for fun!

Yeah! And if you cross him,

he'll whistle for two thousand bad guys! With guns!

Come on! Yusuke doesn't even know how to whistle!

What?

Besides, Yusuke couldn't order around two people,

let alone two thousand.

He doesn't have many friends.

Not what I heard!

Yeah. I think we would know!

Urameshi! I know that you're here today!

Come to my office immediately!

Damnit! When is that old man gonna ever give up?!

No way man! You mean he just gave you his wallet!

That's fresh!

You bet it is!

He tried to pick on me so I told him I was Urameshi's cousin,

he just dropped it and ran!

Well what are you gonna do if Urameshi

finds out you said that cousin stuff?!

He'll kill you!

Oh spare me, that blockhead will probably think it's true!

Hey, what's wrong?

I swear I didn't mean it!

Here! Take it!

You think I want your stupid money?! Huh?!

Yusuke! Put down that fist!

It's Iwamoto!

You boys are safe from him now. What happened?

Nothing, we're fine.

I see, Yusuke was beating you two up for your wallets.

Typical scum behavior.

What ever.

No-good weeds like you

should have been plucked a long time ago.

You don't belong here!

You shouldn't talk. It makes you sound stupid.

Oh, give me a break.

Okay, somebody's dead!

Sorry old man!

That's Mr. Takenaka to you.

I've been calling for you all morning on the loudspeaker.

Didn't hear it.

Guess it mustn't be so loud after all, huh?

I couldn't help but notice you were leaving us.

Yeah! I got kicked out!

Is that a fact my good man? I wonder why.

Perhaps we should discuss it in my office then. We'll have tea.

It's just a toy, old man.

Thanks for the visit. Now leave me alone.

Yusuke! We can talk!

It figures that the one day I feel like going to school

everyone wants to push on me

and give me their stupid lectures!

I hate that school! I hate this town!

Oh great, mother of the year.

Get me coffee.

Can't believe she's still in bed.

Why aren't you in school.

I left cause they pissed me off.

Well if you're never going to go there

you might as well quit and get yourself a job.

Are you going to give me a lecture too, Mom?

While you're in your pajamas?

Dear, if you hate preaching so much

you should live on your own.

But you can't do that, can you?

I swear! Could this day possibly get any stupider?!

Urameshi.

Hey Kuwabara, you're conscious.

I'm not used to that.

That was a cheap-shot last time

and I was only knocked out for a little bit, okay?

Now I'm back and I'm gonna beat your face up so bad

even kittens wont look at ya!

So sorry you caught me on such a bad day!

It makes me a real jerk.

You win!

Don't hurt us!

Ahh!

I feel better!

Kuwabara, maybe you should stop

picking so many fights with Urameshi, huh?

That makes zero wins,

and one hundred and fifty-six losses!

No!

I almost had him that time!

Kuwabara!

Okay, now I'm remembering.

After that, I met the kid.

May I have my ball, please?

Listen kid! That's dangerous!

There are cars going by

that will splatter you into the pavement!

Yeah! Mon-ster!

Well if all else fails

I can still make kids happy.

Alright, now go ahead and get lost.

It's not safe playing ball around here, you understand?

Dammit, what's the use?

The kid can get smashed by a car for all I care!

Whoa! Watch out, kid! Don't go into the road!

Hey!

Hey watch out!

So that's it. I'm road kill.

But if that was me down there...

...then who am I up here, I wonder.

Could it mean--I've turned into a ghost?!

Bingo! Bingo! You win the prize!

I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly!

Who the hell are you?

When people die unexpectedly like you just did,

often they can't accept it and become ghosts.

You see?

You're not answering my question!

Botan's my name the pilot of the River Styx!

I take care of people like you!

I believe in your culture they also call me the Grim Reaper!

Ring a bell?

A pretty girl like you? Please, you're no Grim Reaper.

Well I'm not sure if I should take that

as a compliment or an insult!

Plus if you were a real messenger of death

you'd take this more seriously!

Like how grim can you be when you say 'Bingo'?!

You're supposed to wear a big black robe

and look like a skeleton!

Now I understand what kind of person you are!

It's in my guide book!

Rather than be scared or surprised,

you yell a lot and tell me

I don't know what I'm talking about.

Yusuke Urameshi. Age 14.

Personality is impulsive and ill-mannered

with a violent temper.

He has no respect for authority and is a horrible student.
