I loved seeing Hiei kick the tar out o f Tarukane and Kuwabara's final joint-attack w/ Yusuke was just great.

I'd say that Hiei was too gentle to that freeky bastard. Instead of punching his deformed face he better could break at least few of his bones and joints. >:(

So is Yukina Hiei's sister or not?

Sorry, it's just that I watched a Portuguese subbed episode, and I don't speak any portuguese =P

Not half sister >=X . Twin sister... It's just poorly explained in the beggining (probably the autor changed his mind to make it more dramatic, but still...).

No matter how much you punch that face it can't get any uglier lol.
Kuwabara was the hero this time. Is nice when is not always the main guy that beats the big strong guy. He helped but still the idea and finishing blow was Kuwabara's.

I liked this episode. The fight between the Toguro brothers and Yusuke and Kuwabara was pretty cool. Kurama didn't get to do much here, and yet he was still cool.

Good shit, I thoroughly enjoyed this arc from beginning to end. The stuff between Hiei and his sister has me heavily intrigued for future stuff. I feel like some interesting groundwork is being laid.

So it was the talisman cards that prevented Yukina from being able to escape rather than electrical fencing.

Now that this short arc has come to a conclusion, I have to say, this show has unfortunately been rather stale for the first twenty-five episodes.

Finally this arc is over. That took way too long. The Toguro's were definitely the best villains so far, and I'm glad they continue on into the next arc. I'm also really interested in seeing more of Hiei and Kurama. I'll still be optimistic about the upcoming episodes, but if the tournament arc isn't good within the first 20 episodes I'm dropping this

Ofc Hiel shouldn't have killed that bastard because he would've been a criminal. Let Yusuke and Kuwabara handle it. From the looks of things I may switch from KuwaXBotan to KuwaXYukina. Wut tha preview showed the sunglasses dude alive right? I'm wondering why his battlegear brother was still a sword when his bro got defeated tho, he could've killed Kuwa when he was on the ground.

Fight was decent but I don't really understand why the brother stayed a sword...

Whaaaaaaaaaa, he was defeated way too easily with one sword impact to a non vital organ. And his brother was still alive.
Good ending though.

This arc was kind of all over the place. For starters, the villain was no better than the last one. Another cookie cutter villain, except this one wasn't a badass bishie, but a sadistic ugly upper crust.

That was a good end to the arc. The rich, old, jackass got what he deserved, and Kuwabara was a real hero, despite his ridiculous white knight thing at first. I also have to mention that the thick outlines on the characters in closeups were really cool. I hope we see more of that!

Now coming up, I've seen a bit of the Dark Tournament before, so I am excited to see the whole thing. I hope it isn't super, super drawn out. I have a feeling it will be.

“Oh, I didn’t see a Fastball Special coming. Nice. Oh, good, fatso got what was coming to him and that’s odd. Captain Steroids got impaled but that wouldn’t hurt his brother who is currently a sword. Must be a plot hole. That was fun. Hey, let’s watch the next episode bit KDUHWOKSSGSLDJ oh my word, these writers are _goood_.”

The tactic was easy to execute, but still effective.

It was a fun arc, albeit the fights were lacking compared to the previous one.

really liked this episode. This little arc was much better than the saint beast arc. The bet from the black black club gave it a little spice. The animation in the last few episodes has been pretty good, I hope it continues like this. Looks like Hiei and Kurama will finally join the squad officially.

"No one" HECK YOU, YOU'RE NOT ONE ONE... I hate it when anime do that, goddamn I want to see their reaction, why "no one"... Well, the arc ends, it was decently enjoyable, way better than the previous one.

That big, strong tough guy went down like a pile of rocks. We get a quick arc conclusion for once.

I guess he needed a spirit sword impaling, who knew? Kuwabara is pretty tough now. His spirit sword was so weak against the last guy.

I was expecting a better fight... This fight against the Toguro brothers was really disappointing. However, I still think they are alive and will appear again in the anime.

I really liked the final battle between Kuwabara and the Toguro brothers, although for this case I feel like it could have definitely been better.

The way they won the fight was surprising, I give them that but what about the weapon-brother? I guess he doesn't matter that much, uh.

Oh look, Hiei finally made it right on time and there is Kurama who got there even faster.

A short, yet still highly enjoyable story arc.

Kuwabara taking center stage once again for the finale is very much welcome. He and Yusuke continue to be the best of this show overall whenever they're on screen together. The way Hiei works around their mission with his own limited perspective also helps showcase this somewhat loosely formed team that's taking shape.

I don't get why Hiei had to hide his real identity from Yukina.

That was a great strategy from Kuwabara. I was impressed by that move. I didn't see that coming and neither did Toguro.

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

I hope the upcoming battles don't drag on for too long are decided by strategy like this one.
