| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- those Toguro brothers are like cockroaches... kuwabara killed them.... |

| Awesome ep, looks like a lot of cool fights coming up =D |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| Man this villain is freakin beastly! So the infamous Dark Tournament arc starts! |
 |
| Damn there goes Kuwabara's moment of glory out of the window. The damn guy was just pretending to be beaten. Didn't expect the old lady will actually accept fighting for them. Anyway tournaments are usually quite entertaining in shounen so i guess it will be fun. P.S - lol at that fat ugly guy's potato head flying. |
| And things are gonna get good... |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| So much swag from my boy Yusuke. |
| I think it is the Master who is the fifth member! |
| When Toguro was running around hitting down the support beams it looked like some kid trying to show off at school. Nevertheless that guy is something else, holy crap. I like how they don't waste time with the training and just show the necessary bits and get right back to the story (or should I say the fighting?). It seems most likely that the 5th member is Genkai but I don't see why she'd have to hide her face. I vaguely remember bits of the Dark Tournament and admittedly I only picked up YYH to see it in action since it uhh..."inspired" me a bit when I was in elementary school. |
 |
| What an uninspiring episode to start off this arc. |
 |
| Cool, I thought it was kind of lame how Kuwabara took them out with one hit. It was interesting to see Yusuke really scared. The pacing's a bit fast. I wouldn't have minded if more training was shown, or even some downtime with Keiko. I have high hopes for this arc though. |
| that was preety unexpected but in a good way |
 |
| *Cough* I wonder who the fifth memeber is |
| I've heard good things about this arc so I'm really excited. Toguro needs to be nerfed! |
 |
| For how much spiritual things he can see, Kuwabara must be blind to not know who that 5th person is. |
 |
| Im surprised this moves so fast. With how long a series this is, it could have easily had the two month training session take up a whole episode. I wouldn't complain if it went more in depth about reiki, I feel it could have some more grounding and be more detailed. |
 |
| Cool intro to the next story arc. |
| I have totally no idea who the fifth member is...Could they make it any more obvious lmao. For real though, I've heard a lot about this arc and I hope it can live up to the hype, just have to wait and see. |
 |
| I hope this arc will be as good as people try to make one believe. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Well, the fifth member is much less obvious in the manga. |
| what the hell. I didnt expect this dark tournament to start so early in the anime, I thought this would be one of the later arcs. I heard good stuff about it so im looking forward to it. Nice plot twist to see that Toguro was involved with the betting guy and outwitted the other fat ugly dude. Toguro showing 60% of his power was fearsome. Tbh I wouldnt have minded 1 or 2 training episodes so this was definitely rushed AF. |
| Gotta love how the training "arc" was like 2 minutes instead of stretching it to 10+ episodes like some other Shounen shows. There wasn't any boring training arc in HxH either. Thank you Based Togashi. |

| So our 'Chibi Baba" joins the team! The training montages are so tiny man! |
| --AbiSa-- |
| i thought there was something funny in kuwabara "killed" toguro. is there a much longer training arc in the manga? if there is i really wouldn't mind pierrot treatment in one episode, it was good, but if not, togashi is great! |
| Younger Toguro is such a badass villain. I was totally caught off guard when he kicked Tarukane's head right into the screen. Looks like the Dark Tournament is about to begin; I've heard this is where the show starts to get really good. Cant wait to see what's next! |
| The dark tournament seems like it will be interesting. I didnt expect the Toguro brothers to still be alive. |
 |
| Finally, the Tournament Arc Is Starting This is the Hunter Exam arc dudeee |
 |
| As I expected, the Toguro brothers lost on purpose and were still alive. I'm really looking forward to this tournament, I hope I won't be disappointed. |

| Whatever threat and suspense they were trying to build up for this Toguro guy it ended up being just unintentionally funny. Koenma still the best thing from this show. |
| LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOURNAMENT ARC!!!!!! 40 EPISODES!!!!! IM READY!!!! ILL BE THE BACKUP MEMBER OF THE TEAM!!!!!! |
| Now that I think about it a lot of things in HxH do seem reused from YYH |
 |
| Toguro bringing the building down to scare Yusuke is such a great scene. I'm very curious where the plot will take this evil pair of brothers. |
| Another point for me! I knew Sakyou was in league with Toguro all along! It was their modus operandi to make more money. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
