Onji has his work cut out for him when he takes on Kuwabara and Genkai. However, the old man is not who he appears to be, and what lies beneath the surface could spell a major upset for Team Urameshi!

Unmasked and without the power of her Spirit Wave, Genkai must rely on her wits to survive in the ring. But is the wise woman’s intellect enough to combat the horror of Shishi Wakamaru’s Chorus of a Thousand Skulls?

Kuwabara is set to square off against Shishi Wakamaru, but his source of power, Yukina, is nowhere to be found. Shishi’s secret weapon sends Kuwabara through a dimensional portal. What will he find on the other side?

After fifteen years in his borrowed human form, the demon Yoko Kurama has returned. Ura Urashima’s evil plan causes the ultra-powerful Spirit Fox to reveal his true power. What could this mean for Team Urameshi?

Hiei’s attacks have proven useless against Kuro Momotaro, and as his raging opponent prepares to make a third and final transformation, Hiei prepares to join his shattered sword on the arena floor.

Hiei faces Kuro Momotaro, an opponent with the ability to prevent certain attacks by adapting his body. Hiei’s only chance lies in a dangerous technique that could easily finish his opponent – but at the cost of his own life!

As his team prepares for the semi-finals, Yusuke is taken to a cave in the woods where Genkai will give him his final test. Is Yusuke’s soul pure enough to handle the intense mental and physical trial?

With his Spirit Beast finally hatching, Yusuke faces the possibility of it swallowing his soul forever. And there’s yet another surprise in store for Urameshi, when the true identity of the Masked Fighter is at last exposed!

Team Masho’s leader looks impossible to beat, but as Yukina tries desperately to enter the stadium, Kuwabara will have to find the strength to save his team. He’s Team Urameshi’s only hope!

When Yusuke realizes his regular attacks won’t help him against Jin, he decides to try the Spirit Wave. But even if he can somehow execute the move and defeat his opponent, will the corrupt Tournament Committee let him win?

Jin, Team Masho’s fourth member, is a fast-talking Master of Wind who hates authority. He identifies with Yusuke more than any guy ever has, but with everything at stake, they must lay their friendship aside.

Yusuke tries to step in for the unconscious Kurama, but the crooked tournament committee announces that Kurama must remain. Can Yusuke overcome the rule-makers, save Kurama, and fight the last three opponents himself?

The fighters of Team Masho are revealed to be the Shinobi of Spirit World, an ancient ninja sect. Now, thanks to Gama’s curse, Kurama must face the Ice Master Touya without the use of his body or his energy!

Team Urameshi must face Team Masho, but a scheme by the team’s owner ensnares Hiei and the Masked Fighter before the fight! With Kuwabara injured, Yusuke and Kurama will have to take this entire team alone!

The doctor’s human experiments are clearly fighting against their will! As Yusuke prepares to put them out of their misery, the Masked Fighter intervenes and suggests a peculiar plan.

During a three-on-three battle, a rip on the Masked Fighter’s headdress gives a surprising peek into the warrior’s true identity! But there’s little time to ponder the ramifications, as Kuwabara now refuses to fight!

Round two of the tournament arrives and Team Urameshi must face Dr. Ichigaki’s fighters, a group with a habit of chopping off their opponent’s heads! Will Yusuke be the doctor’s next guinea pig?

When he’s ambushed by a loose-cannon competitor, Yusuke learns that even quiet moments on Hanging-Neck Island are dangerous. Meanwhile, Hiei faces the consequences of his deadly dragon attack.

Yusuke and Chu, both drained of their Spirit Energy, struggle to win the first round of the Dark Tournament for their team. They agree to settle it with a Knife Edge Death-Match, an intense and fatal arena of combat.

Yusuke jumps out of his slumber, ready for the final fight against a new fighter named Chu. He’s rude, he’s crude –and he claims to be Team Rokuyukai’s true leader.
