As the main bouts of the Demon World tournament get underway, it looks like some of the fighters’ motivations for entering aren’t exactly what they seemed. They all have their eyes on one warrior as the prize – Yusuke.

As the preliminary round of the tournament draws to a close, one match between a father and son still rages on. Before the competition can continue, the vigor of youth must defeat the patience of age.

By embracing Yusuke’s unlikely proposal, Yomi and Mukuro have secured peace for the moment. Nonetheless, the battle to control Demon World must begin. Who will win the tournament and grasp complete power?

Now that Hiei has become strong enough to easily slay A-Class Demons, Mukuro calls forth an even tougher foe: the demon that implanted Hiei’s Jagan Eye! Does Hiei have the strength – and desire – to survive the encounter?
