Monochrome said: Simply_Waiting said: +1greatest tournament in anime history I wouldn't mind going back to the beginning to re-watch it all over again, but more adventures await :3 Same with me! I wouldn't mind rewatching the whole series over again, along with the movies. I still remember that episode. Don't want to give anything away though for that episode or the next one. (off topic: I still have a few Yu Yu Hakusho things I haven't seen and not sure where to find them to watch). |
 |
| ok just blow the whole thing up kinda wanted a more dramatic ending |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| It was a great fight, but I expected more from these 2 guys. THAT PUNCH! Awesome move. |
 |
pacuuuuu3 said: And, Kuwabara's sister's crying for him? Especially that made me lol considering this whole episode Kuwabara is supposed to be dead and his sister doesn't seem to give a shit. Poor Kuwabara only Yusuke cared for his death. Coolest moment was that neck braking punch but all in all this fight wasn't really a fight. It talk then powerup then talk the powerup and so on. Hieis battle was actually the best. |
| Looks like Kuwabara's coming back to life in the next episode. But we all knew that, lol. |
| Waaa... Kuwabara's alive! Good2x!! |
| Kind of disappointed with this fight it felt like there was no strategy involved and just DBZ like power battles. Sure Hiei's battle had a similar feeling, but it was a bit more badass. |

| That had to be the best fight so far, it was more than worth marathoning the rest of the Dark Tournament to witness. I could not stop watching and it had me dropping my jaw in amazement all throughout. A very emotional battle, especially when Keiko snapped. It's surreal how long this tournament was but I enjoyed its pacing and what it had to offer. It was also nice to play into my nostalgia a little when I saw bits of this years ago. And yeah, I am going to miss Koto. She was a really amusing touch to it all. |
 |
| Yusuke won and Toguro must've been satisfied when he gave it all. Definitely one of the best character in the dark tournament aside from Genki. |
The higher I get , The lower I'll sink. |
| And so, the most boring fight in anime history ends super anticlimactically. No strategy involved whatsoever. Just continuously power up, never actually fight directly, and then just die for no reason. Can't believe I wasted my time with this crap. Now I'm officially dropping this garbage series |
| What a ridiculously overly dramatic match ending in a tremendous letdown. This entire tournament, along with the show, has had the worst fights I have ever seen. Keep in mind that is with me having seen the terrible fights in the "Dragon Ball" series and the "Naruto" series. |
 |
| Not a bad climax. Not too bad at all. The fight itself wasn't fantastic, but I could feel the emotion and the severity of the situation. Toguro was an alright villain. The final piece has been laid to rest. |
| For me, these 4 last fights were the best and made the anime huge. They represent the best of Shonen anime of the 90's. All the other fights were pretty lame truth be told. PS: its funny to think that these 4 last fight were divided into 10 episodes, which meant more than 1 month, back in 1993-94. And I've just watched it all in 2 days nowadays. Ah, the times... |
Love... hurts... so... |
| Dam knew Toguro who was still standing would faint or some shyt. Good job Yusuke, you avenged Genkai and Kuwabara. |
| Damn that was an awesome climax! |
 |
| Quite the epic finale to the fight. However, I still think Hiei's was more epic. :3 What saddens me is they didn't even bother to keep the suspense with Kuwabara being alive or dead. We all knew he was alive but they just show him in the PV standing with 0 injuries so it kinda killed the little suspense I had on that matter. XD |
 |
| Friendship and justice wins. That was cheesy as hell but not any worse than the majority of fights in this tournament. Okay, probably a little worse. The build up was great. The other episodes of this fight were horribly hopeless and chilling but this one just blew it. Two super magic spirit bombs and Yusuke's wins because of friendship alone. Not that I expected the fight to be anything that special, as I've said in past threads, the strong point is the characters and definitely not the actual fights. |
| Yusuke was badass. Togoru was an epic villain, his downfall was amazing. So glad the tournament is over but damn I enjoyed it. |
| That was very epic. Toguro collapsed all messed up, shriveled like he lived in a salt mine for 100 years. I was like 99% sure Yusuke would win, but seeing Toguro try to hold the blast and getting all messed up was interesting. A couple things though: I don't like these kinds of things were people are constantly powering up, and I don't like that numbers pretty much don't matter. Obviously, it's way different than an actual fight, but I wish it wasn't. If two or more people are fighting one person, that individual is gonna have a lot of trouble. And when characters basically doubled or tripled their power in one arc, where do we go next? I don't know for sure, but I feel like the next arc is going to be less powered up than this one. I assume the reasoning will be that the characters needed special items, emotions, or were too-drained from using certain abilities to go all in like that all the time. Anyway, it's just some shonen action stuff. I still really liked the episode. |
| It was decent fight overall, but not too impressive. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| so the tournament arc finally ends.. im happy about that. It was weird that yusuke decided to bet everything on one single spirit gun. I guess he had enough of fighting, he said I don't care how this ends this can only end two ways. In the end Toguro's single desire was to fight someone at full strength before he dies. It makes sense for someone that is so driven by strength and power. And of course kuwabara is not dead who wouldve thought. |
| I feel sad for Toguro tbh :( |
| Wasn't Yusuke more than 10 seconds down? I mean, Kurama lost even though he killed his opponent and still rose up in the end. The ring announcer maybe didn't count but still... And maybe people (rightfully so) would have gotten mad if she announced Toguro as the winner. |

| What an incredibly boring match. Next arc please. |
| I never really understood what happens to Toguro at the end. He just turns into white mortar. |
| lol at Toguro thinking his 100% can defeat the power of Nakama |

| That punch and Toguro flying awy was so WILD!!!!!!!!!! For a second I thought Toguro was getting the Team Rocket ending lol How is Kuwabar ! I need updates on KUWABARA!!!!!!!! |
| --AbiSa-- |
| great ending for great battle. seems next episodes going to be the final to the arc. |
| damn, Yusuke actually won! If Kuwabara is actually dead I dont think I can go on watching this anime.... |
 |
| This series has been pretty underwhelming in all honesty, but I adore the Toguro fight that it may make up for it all. My highlight is how Kuwabara was handled. He started his journey by pretty much tagging along with Yusuke, but never had the benefit of Genkai's training and had to find ways to get stronger on his own. It was clear though in the tournament's latter stages he was out of his depth. He wins against Elder Toguro, which I think was only done so you have a little hope he will somehow survive against the younger brother. I'm interested to see where his character will go from here in particular. |
| They did it man they won but damn Toguro’s final words really gave this the proper ending this was an amazing tournament |
 |
| God what a finish, what an epic finish to an epic fight. Well done, Yusuke, well done. You've won, you've won. I have to say this along with Hiei's fight were probably the best fights in the whole of the Dark Tournament. I'm really glad that Toguro went out with a satisfying conclusion to his story. Just daaaaaamn that punch from Yusuke just send him flying across the arena. I have to say the stuff about Young Toguro is absolutely true I do think he's a great villain, he provided a lot of build up, had an interesting dynamic with Genkai and honestly that fight was emotional, drew me in and was so intense. Only a few more episodes left and then we are onto the Chapter Black Saga. Can't wait, can't wait. |
| what a fight, the best tournament arc ive seen. so good |
candies:      |
| That was an intense fight and a genius arc. It's way ahead of its time and one of the best tournament arcs that I've ever seen. Seriously. I also like Toguro's character in contrast with Genkai and Yusuke. It's funny how most shows tackle women that are afraid to age. This shows that women can find beauty in growing old while a man is the one who's afraid of growing old. The emotional impact of the fights, of the deaths, and the expressions. The frustration, the persistence, and the grit. I honestly don't see how people can dislike this. I guess people are just contrarians or something... |
