I couldn't understand half the things Baldok was spewing out with that screechy voice of his.

Also, Genkai mentioned that Kuwabara's spiritual awareness will allow him to manifest a weapon.
Seeing the OP, I could have guessed that, but how are those two completely different things even related?

If Yusuke did not manage to advance, the next round with seven contenders - an odd number - would be rather difficult to organize for a duel format.

Yuusuke's dorky laugh cracks me up so much. And Kuwabara being concerned for Yuusuke (after getting all fired up by Yuusuke earlier even though he was only there for Genkai's help). And then glomping each other. xDDD

This episode reminded me a lot of the Hunter Exam arc which was pretty cool since HxH was one of the reasons why I wanted to start this anime. Kuwabara is a badass and I hope he becomes a permanent part of the cast for being so awesome. And what's up with the guy with a swastika on his forehead!

Kuwabara is so damn entertaining. Didn't even come to participate and only wants to 1-up Yusuke.

"I never make exceptions" - Makes an exception, way to go Genkai.

It's Kuwabara! Nice to see him again, he reaching the goal in first place made me happy, he might not look like it, but I'm sure that he's pretty damn strong.

Yusuke beat up that poor batguy hard lol, that monster was even apologizing for wasting his time before recieveing the final punch.

Much like the Hunter Exam Arc, but less detailed and more rushed. Makes sense since it was the precursor. Good thing at least one other person noticed the swastika.

I didn't remember that this anime have Honda, Dhalsim, and Zangief in it
Shame they all failed xD

Kuwabara and Yusuke hugging each other, that's just so sweet

Rando is probably the innocent looking guy.. right? The one that we never suspected?
Or maybe Kuwabara *gasp

Well damn, this is for sure the best arc so far. Really like that it's a competition between many strong opponents, really interesting. Yuusuke and Kuwabara have became such good friends, haha.

gotta love how the anime take elements from other shounen and take it in it's own special way.

kuwabara finishing first, the bond between him and yusuke really great.

Not completely sold on this whole test but Yuusuke is quite entertaining so it makes thing more enjoyable but I would have loved for him to try the karaoke.

It's reminding me of Hunter x Hunter. Though it makes sense because they have the same authors. I'm actually excited for this arc, and I will be binging it a lot more.

I was looking forward to the karaoke test. Too bad they didn't show it. I would like to hear Yusuke and Kuwabara sing.

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

Woah, So, the Chunin exam of Naruto was also inspired from this test. Kishimoto really was big fan of Togashi I suppose.

I'm not sure why I feel the need to compare this to Dragon Ball, but I will. The animation is better on this anime, but the plot is better on Dragon Ball.

I loved the arcade scene. I'm suspecting the guy with the symbol on his head or the guy with long hair as the one Yusuke might be after but it could be one of the others with very little screen time.
