Scenes Cels

I decided to start a section for good scenes moments that stand out well on their own, and aren't part of any particular fight. All cels are in chronological order on the page. Because they are scenes, you should be wary of...

SPOILER IMAGES! Obviously the first image is safe, since it's the genesis of the story, but after that I so far skip ahead to the end of the Ankoku Bujutsukai and later.

Next to be scanned for this section: Er, no clue. My brain hasn't yet very well indexed what belongs in this section rather than other sections. I'm pondering moving the Karasu & youkai cel over here, at the least it would provide another buffer before the spoiler images.

Episode #: 1: I'm Surprised That I'm Dead! Stats: 2 layers, stuck, A8 KEY END/B3 KEY END Sketches: 1 matching, A8 (car), unstuck Comments: Yuusuke's first BLARG!!! (Er, apologies for most people not knowing what I mean by that. Call it an ode to a cute YYH summary-fiction.) The very beginning of the story. Yuusuke, in an amazing act of selflessness, jumps into traffic to save a little boy. The boy is fine, but Yuusuke dies immediately. Of course it turns out that the boy would have been fine anyway, and the death was for nothing... almost nothing, anyway. Yuusuke wasn't supposed to die yet. "Not even the Buddha" had suspected that he would risk himself by saving the kid. Unscheduled deaths need to be accounted for, and so the tale begins. The two layers are a bit wrongly stuck, hence the kid being slightly suspended above the ground.

Episode #: (checking, late 50s/early 60s) Stats: 3 layers, stuck, A1 or 7 KEY END/B27/C7 Sketches: none Foreground: stuck Background: Matching, unstuck Comments: Young Genkai and Toguro Otouto (not a flashback). The background came out grainy in the scan and the foreground doesn't seem to be properly located. SPOILER!!! While Genkai is still dead at the end of the Ankoku Bujutsukai, the now also dead Toguro comes across her on his way to the afterworld. Genkai finally learns her old partner's reasons for everything he has been doing of late, and gets some general closure. A nice scene, for anyone (me me me!) who likes both characters.

Episode #: 69: Power of Taboo! Kurama's Mind Stats: 1 layer, B15; 1 copy layer, A1 KEY END Sketches: 1 matching, B15, unstuck Comments: Botan and Kurama in the extra-dimensional house. Most of this image is on the B15 layer, there's only a little background colour and some of the flames immediately surrounding Botan on the laser copy layer. SPOILER! In Kaito's territory, it is taboo to say the word "atsui". Saying it will cause your soul to be sucked out of your body. After Kuwabara blew it by saying two words that unfortunately sounded like atsui together, Botan protested that he hadn't said atsui. Kuwabara's screw-up was definitely questionable, but Botan's was blatant. And so, in this cel, her soul goes byebye. B15 Sketch

Episode #: checking... Stats: 1 layer, A1 KEY Sketches: none Comments: SPOILER!!!! Hiei stabbing Sniper! Ooh... I had mentioned this being a dream cel that I really needed, and then a few days later it appeared. Had I forgotten to knock on wood? Apparently so! I'm quite happy to have this one, though, albeit happily poorer than I was before. Sniper, who I believe suffered the misfortune of waking Hiei up from a nice little nap in a tree by committing such noisy acts as shooting a diesel truck at Yuusuke, decided to be straight-forward and shoot Yuusuke with a gun. Hiei had dragged Yuusuke along to face Sniper with him, and prevented the noisy shooting by doing a little stabbing. Sniper wasn't quite ready to give up yet, so he once again raised his gun (raising it here). Not a good idea, since Hiei reacted by (further spoiler bleep). This was a happy moment in Hiei fan history, as he had been missing for a while before Sniper and Yuusuke woke him up with their target practice games.
