Kuwabara isn't getting the proper amount of respect.... (jk)

but anyway, I like the idea of the guys fighting humans (even though I already know everything that happens since I'm rewatching)

Well, a friend of mine says the show gets boring after the Dark Tournament... but I don't see that happening. I'm already hooked to this new story arc!

Botan = Love!

New arc seems ok, though I don't have very high expectations since everyone seems to have preferred The Dark Tournament above all others.

The new villain seems interesting (the guy with the black mole in the forehead). And the new OP is good.

So we're straight into the next arc again.. Really wish we'd have even just one slow paced, character building ep, but oh well..

The new arc seems interesting enough, especially if some of the scenery from the op is anything to go by..

Speaking of which, loving the new animation for the op.. Glad the song hasn't changed though, I really like this song!

It's off to an interesting start, so hopefully this new Chapter Black Arc is an improvement over the previous Dark Tournament Arc, which was just atrocious.

Agreed.

Nice start though. Dammit, I'll need to keep watching a bit more to see where this goes.

HEYYYY DON'T DISAPPOINT!!!!!

The Opening the Opening!!!! Cityscape! At night! Proto-Yorkshin! Proto-Lucilfer?? If this'll go to shit I'll smash my brains out!

The flashing thing to introduce the 4 main chara is kinda cool.
Also, Kurama vacillating btw Red-Hair form and White-Hair form, then sth black covers the whole screen, which turns out to be Hiei's cloak. This sounds so long-winded, but in animation the transition is super smooth.
Also, the proto-Lucilfer guy kicks energy like soccer. So instead of shoot, this one kicks

And it really seems like they've gone on to grade 11. Thought I spot some change in design, they kinda look older. If the makers really took care to make slight changes due to growing age, I'd appreciate it.

And of course Yu Yu Hakusho stole that technique from gay men who have practiced shooting their guns into their partner's butthole since like, forever.

Gotta be real, was really excited for a new opening but the lack of a new song disappointed me. Anyways, that was a pretty good introduction to a new arc. Not much to say about it other than it got things rolling quick and that Yusuke stare down was cheesy but great. Have to agree with others that they could've taken it a little slower but it's not a problem to jump right into the next arc like this. Oh and Kuwabara referring to Puu and Puusuke was adorable.

New op visuals are cool.

And the arc is starting interesting too.

I wish they had had a few episodes of going back to normalcy with slow hints to something wrong before this. It felt rushed to me, especially after it seemed like Yusuke learned from the Dark Tournament and Genkai.

Well, this is a little annoying. Just like it said, Yuusuke technically should be the strongest person alive, yet he got kidnapped easily by some humans that're probably controlled by demons. Well, at least we got a new arc.

I'm watching the dub and this is the second time they've used "could care less" when they should have used "couldn't care less". I will definitely be bringing this up with management.

New opening. Well, at least new opening's animation, because song stayed the same.

What was that? "1000 years of pain"? Poor Kuwabara.

That music in background... Sounds like strange remix of Kraftwerk's "the Telephone Call" from "Electric Cafe". Or just someone used a sample.

I didn't really dig the Spirit Detective Saga, but I actually like that we're going back to something like that now after the Dark Tournament. It really helps that we've had much more time to get to know the characters.

As much as I liked the Dark Tournament saga I'm kind of glad we are back to stuff on earth again like it was in the beginning of the show. Liking the new visuals for the new opening but they pretty much kept the song for that which is good. Gotta say we are off to an interesting start and not much to say it's a good way to start the new arc off with a glimpse of our new opponent so to speak at the ruins of the arena for the Dark Tournament. But what do those three boys want with Yusuke exactly? Hmmm very interesting, indeed.

Since at the end of the OP we see those 3 students standing alongside the gang, they'll definitely be pals with Yusuke in the end.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

The visual from the OP are nice.
This episode reminds me of the episodes before Togura appeared, let's see if this arc has something to offer.
