Spirit Fly Swatter is quite the inventive technique. I'm glad to see Kuwabara when a second fight in the tournament.

It's kind of funny that Kuwabara had the quickest win in this round, but there wasn't much to Elder Toguro anyway. And I like that his younger brother kicked him out of the stadium :P

Great finish! Kuwabara shows that he too can finish a mad opponent just like that! And yeah this time around he was actually the fastest!

These last YYH episodes have been so fckin bloody! Not complaining, it's just unusual for shounens to be this violent.

Kuwabara's fly swatter ownage was satisfying, but I knew that was too anticlimactic for Toguro the Elder to die from. "I sold my soul, not my character" got a good laugh from that, well said. I really like how Sakyo's back story wasn't some sob story or tragedy and it actually felt more grounded in reality to have someone who was demented from the boredom of a happy life.

The showdown is finally here, this is what I've been marathoning to see. Hell yeah!

Elder Toguro.... beaten just like that. So disappointing. This dude had the most overpowered ability seen so far in the series and he gets one shot by Kuwabara. This series is an absolute joke. No fights have any thought put into them whatsoever. I was expecting the Team Toguro fights to be better than the previous garbage we've been getting throughout this arc, but they're just as lackluster. Kurama Vs Karasu was the only mildly interesting fight so far. I'll probably drop this series unless Yusuke Vs Toguro is godly amazing

How convenient for the Elder Toguro brother's ability to transform into an impenetrable shield to be forgotten.

I can already foresee how dull the final fight will be.

That was a nice ending for Kuwabara's fight. Some good ideas.

Wow, killing your brother literally right before the final match. What a way to set the mood.

In the end Sakyo is little more than well-dressed trash lol.

These are 1 vs. 1 matches. That would require Younger Toguro to be on stage for them to use that ability. Against the rules in the tournament and you just sound like you aren't happy with the results.

Dam glad Kuwabara somewhat won and lived. Rip Elder Toguro? The moment of truth arrives and I feel like Shizuru likes Sakyo but that ship might sink... New ED is okay and is that a new enemy?

Hahahaha pls cut off the boring uninteresting exchanges. Elder Togura could just cut off kill off Kuwabara without having to talk and taunt all the time.
Ridiculous that Kurama lost but the exchanges btw these 2 guys feel like forever but still within 10 seconds. WTF?

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Most disgusting horrible boring fukking anticlimax of a match EVAAAAAA.
Why pp continue to rave over Kuwabara????????
Why some even went so far as to compare him to Hanamichi Sakuragi?? WTF Lord??

All his fights are either losses or wins enabled by galaxy-sized conveniences. So haha, his sword is not a sword but can shapeshift into a badminton racket???
And that damn Toguro Elder, he has enough time to run away or shapeshift his body into the ground as he did last time. Why the hell not now? Fukking shit. See how long Kuwabara boasts about that racket. There's enough time. And 1 obvious flaw of such a weapon is that it's completely useless in long distance fight, and can only win over such complete idiot as Toguro who (maybe due to the author's exhaustion of inspiration) just sits there and allows himself to be squashed.

The best part of this ep is those two atrocious characters are out of the picture for now.
And the new ending. Like it. Good shading and shadows and has Sensui in it. No comparison with the 1st though.
And Sakyo's backstory is "nice", crazy from boredom. It's matter of fact, even brave of him to acknowledge that without seeming sentimental or delusional. I actually feel, like Sister Kuwabara, some attraction for that guy.

He talks about the "Elder Toguro vs Kuwabara" match baby. Why the hell is his ability to transform into shields or move quickly his body elsewhere F***** forgotten??? I count 20 seconds during which Kuwabara boasts about that racket of his, and Toguro just sit flappergasted there without taking action. What a damn huge convenience of the mangaka to end the fight!!

It's not much I suppose but the only time we've seen Elder Toguro turn into a weapon or a shield it's been his whole body, If that's the only way then I can't see it being much help. Unless you want him to make a bone shield but I'm positive Kuwa would of fried that too. On top of that he was cut up and weak he probably didn't have that much control over his body in that position in the first place.

Secondly, he only moved his body once and it was when he was in full control of himself and healthy. The end of the fight he couldn't move because he was weak and focusing on putting himself back together.

Not the strongest points and I agree that there's some really nice conveniences for Kuwabara's sake but it's not as horrible as you guys are making it out to be. Fight was definitely a let down but at least we got some sweet shots of Kuwa being a badass.

Sakyo is a damn sociopath. Anybody saying that are attracted to him 0.0. Wow.

Kuwabara crushed that disgusting slime. He slimed out. He said some disgusting stuff, threatened to cheat, and got toasted. Good riddance. I was getting so mad about all the stuff he said.

Now finally, Toguro vs. Yusuke.

Well at least Kuwabara is not dumb enough to overlook the counting of Juri XD
OK That's Sakyo for you, but even Koenma? whoa! I mean he is like the second in the whole Spirit Realm!
I guess Shizuru has gotten a slight liking for Sakyo. Like a person you don't want to see die even whom you don't have nothing to do with them.

Oh shit! Parasite Toguro is back! And he is as disgusting as ever! EWEWEHHEHEEWEHW
Even the Younger Toguro doesn't like him talking about her like that, hope he is the one who kills him.
Oh well, I guess he did? Ids he dead? I hope he is.

Hey! New Ending!
it sounded so Bollywood-ish at the chorus part XD
And who was that guy at the end? New Villain for next arc?

I like the fact that they didn't give Sakyo some complicated backstory or anything, and just have him be a right psychopath.

It's a nice contrast next to Toguro where you can tell things are more complex.

God that end to Kuwabara's fight was just so satisfying using his sword as a fly swatter. It's good we got to learn Sayko's backstory about how he was bored with his life and decided to just lead to the life he has now. I really feel the Elder Toguro should've just kept his mouth shut about Genkai because quite honestly not only was he doing the verbal version of pissing on somebody's grave, i.e: Genkai dying at the hands of his brother, but also pissing him off in the process because as much as he had resentment for Genkai in later life, Younger Toguro still cares and respects her as not just a worthy fighter but a former friend and that's really what crossed the line for him. So yeah not surprised that Younger Toguro was done with his Elder brother. Cuz think about it, he was planning on cheating and Young Toguro said VERY specifically to Sayko that he wants to fight Yusuke without any help whatsoever. I'm glad Elder Toguro is dead, I'm glad he is.

Now we can finally focus on a fight that's been awaiting us for a long time. Yusuke Urameshi against Toguro himself. Hells yeah, it's gonna be awesome.

Was he actually piercing through Kuwabara's body or not? It's funny that in the previous epiisode, he was bragging about how he could transform his whole body but just stood there when Kuwabara was going to hit him with his fly swatter. Anyway,  he was annoying with his whole "did you know Genkai was young and now she is so old, ew"-thing.
Kuwabara's sister being melancholically horny lol

Was it really necessary to give him a backstory when he already talked about his stupid plan? That was enough insight into his character.

Sakyo's proposal is idiotic. Team Urameshi already has 2 out of 3 wins needed. They win if they win the next match no matter what. There is no reason for them to accept Sakyo's proposal, which benefits his team and gives their team literally nothing. It's pretty much "Give up your one-point lead, unless you're scared" and somehow that works. Not that it will change anything, but it's just dumb.

@amf85 but his team only had 1 win. So even if the younger Toguro won against Yusuke, he'd have to fight. He's stopping that from happening. So that if Toguro won against Yusuke, they'd win 3-2.

The elder Toguro brother was always going to meet his demise by his younger brother. He was steadily pissing him off by trashing Genkai.

I don't understand your answer. What does any of that have to do with why Urameshi would give up their advantage for nothing? All you've done is restate what I already said.

So Sakyo turns out to be psychopathic! I didn't expect that. I thought he just happened to be a great businessman with a bit of suave.

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