| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I think Genkai's death scene may be the goriest part of the series thus far. |

| Amazing episode, the feeling is transmitted to the viewer, next episode doesn't look that good though |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| This was a very well done episode. Even just during the events leading up to Genkai's last moment, I became very emotional and couldn't help but weep. ;__; I love Yu Yu Hakusho, because I've become attached to the characters, and I agree that the feelings are strongly transmitted to the viewer. |
| Brutal and emotional episode... A great characters leaves us =/ |
 |
| Great episode the characters in this show are amazing, Genkai great master and Toguro a great villain very emotional death |
| This episode was pretty well done. I could empathize with Yusuke as his mentor passed away. |
| Yea pretty sad there for a bit. |
| Toguro is badass, enough said! |
 |
| R.I.P. Genkai. Now, it's an even match since the Toguro team only have 4 members. |
| Ehh, maybe if they didn't spend every episode on shitty drawn out fights and actually spent time developing Yusuke and Genkai's relationship I'd feel more emotional. All we ever got was 5 minute training montages and Genkai yelling at him. They never had any bonding moments whatsoever. Compare this to something like or and see how poorly done this was. Pretty much the only reason I'm even watching this series anymore is to see the Team Toguro fights. The characters have potential, but instead of having legit bonding moments and interraction between them, all we get are shitty jokes and drawn out fights. Genkai was by far the best character on the show, and her relationship with Toguro was more developed than basically anything else. Guess I shouldn't really be that surprised though as this series is pretty dated, and it was one of the first ever battle shonen to adopt this formula, so obviously it wouldn't be as good or polished as more recent series Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

Five-Magics said: I won't change your opinion on the show, but how does age solely determine how good something is? More things should be taken into account. I can't say for One Piece, but for Naruto, aside from Jiraiya, Naruto is very unrealistic with pairings. Why does Sakura love Sasuke so much when he hates her, and even tried to kill her? How did Naruto end up with Hinata, when he didn't care at all prior? Why did Obito cause a war for a petty crush? That, and Naruto s notorious for dragging things way out. Oh believe me, Naruto isn't perfect by any means, and the end pairings sucked harder than anything I've seen. About the fights being dragged out, that's true but they were atleast interesting. There were barely any cutaways to people talking, and when there were, it was explanation on a strategy or technique a character used, and the fights themselves just had more sustained action and infinitely better animation. In YYH, literally every fight has like 30 seconds of fighting, then it'll cut away to Botan or Keiko saying how worried they are for like 2 minutes, and then they'll get back to the fight. It's insanely irritating and boring to watch since everything is needlessly dragged out. This is just my opinion though. I have no problems if people enjoy this show, I've just had a bad experience on my first watch of it |
| As serious as this show tries to be, it is hilarious how fickle all of the conflicts are. |

 |
| Great episode. This arc may have a strong finish after all. |
| He's like it was a fine punch as he looks at his twisted up hand. Seriously what even were some of those muscles on him?? |

| Nooooooo I wished Toguro killed Yusuke's other Master aka his shitty Sensei in the human world who is always scheming on expelling Yusuke from school. |
| Dem feels hit me hard this episode. RIP Genkai ;_; |
 |
| Man Genkai was great. That episode actually got me emotional. I loved how Yusuke was drawn almost like a demon as he was screaming at and punching Toguro and how Toguro was drown incredibly grotesque as well. The relationship may not of been well founded on screen but the way the show portrayed Yusuke's emotions was gut wrenching. Now we got a 4v4 for the final round, I'm curious how it's going to go. Should be some intense fights.' |

| probably the best fight of the series so far. A battle of ideologies with some pretty good animation. Toguro is grotesquely muscular to show how disgusting and inhuman he's become in his quest to retain his peak power. Yusuke receiving Genkai's power is the show saying that in order to progress, you have to pass on your knowledge and power to the next generation. If not, you become an insular being like Toguro here. Genkai's death was a little played up. I didn't feel anything when it was made obvious she was going to die last episode, and I still didn't feel that much when it actually happened. The hints towards Yusuke's power ups are a nice way to get us excited for the big showdown, though. |
Big breast are full of dreams, but small breast are full of hope. |
| Fuckin Toguro looks like a DICK |
 |
| This was a strong episode. It was pretty epic when Yusuke punched Toguro only to be punched back so far. Toguro's hand was all screwed up (for a second). RIP Genkai. |
| The animation of the fights seem to improve as the importance of the fight increases. Sayonara, bye-bye Genkai. |
| In short Toguro is a coward that ran away from time :P Aww sad episode :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| They didn't completely flesh out Yusukes and Genkais relationship, but it was enough to feel this episode. Rip. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| funny how the titles name is "the death of genkai" want in the world goes through your mind when you come up with such an episode title? anyway we finally have a fight that has been buildup for 30episodes and it also has emotional weight behind it. This is a first timer ladies and gentlemen. fingers crossed for a good fight. |

| I already know how Toguro's 100% looks like and how strong and scary he can become compere to that but this episode is so depressing. |
  |
| Toguro is a beast, RIP Genkai. I don't even want to see how powerful he is at 100%. |
Daft Punk is love, Daft Punk is life  |
| Maybe don't go fighting him alone in the woods if you knew he was gonna smoke you that easily |

| Oh wow! The fucking title SPOILED ME BEFORE EVEN STARTING THE VIDEO! The Camera angles in this episode added to the atmosphere so much! Sayonara Bye Bye Master Genkai. So Toguro used to be Human eh? Oh man, Genkai gave away her one request granted by the Tournament for Yusuke's sake ! That scene when Botan's cries overlap the others was really emotional. I feel you Yusuke Don't you lose now! R.I.P |
| --AbiSa-- |
| so in the end toguro wanted to beat genaki because she's ugly... anyway, amazing episode, best so far. |
| R.I.P Genkai, sad episode :(( |
 |
Honestly, I would do the same in his position. A young and super strong body forever? yeah, I would take that. The one thing I wouldn't do is become a monster like he became. |
| The sad theme hit differently this episode rip Genkai |
 |
| What an emotional episode. We've now lost Genkai, but that just means that Yusuke has the motivation to take on Toguro. He really has become inhuman hasn't? If that's his power at 80%, god only knows what Toguro's power is gonna like at 100. The past episodes were really building up to that moment and we got to see former friends fight each other. |
| Noo! Booo! Genkai was the best, she shouldn't have died by the hands of her annoying How dare you to be old!ex-comrade, now that is sad and not the supposedly "bond" between her and Yuusuke. Yuusuke broke his hand and then proceed to mourn by punching a tree with the same hand xD |
