Half-way point!
The first of several tournaments this series will see is already half over. It felt a bit rushed, but again, this is all about elimination and getting to the battle with Rando. On his own, Yusuke's no closer to figuring out which of the contestants he should really be concerned about - the tournament is doing that for him by process of elimination.
I love that Kuwabara develops his own technique. Only thing that always bothered me is that he didn't hold it over Yusuke's head that he didn't need someone to tell him how to do it like Yusuke needed for his Spirit Gun. Fun action, great episode.moreless
AIRED:
In the competition to determine who will become Genkai's apprentice, everyone except for eight fighters have been eliminated. Genkai announces the next part of this competition, a tournament between the remaining candidates. They will have to fight their opponents in a dark room without any light, and rely on their Spirit Energy to see. Soon Kuwabara will have to fight against an opponent who wields a special sword...moreless

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA-
In the edited version, they took out the scene where Kuwabara proposes to Botan.
-
In the uncut, Yusuke takes Genkai's cigarette and places it into Kibano's belt, therefore allowing him to see in the dark. This was changed in the edited version, making it appear to be that Yusuke gets a lucky shot.
-
The original name for the Spirit Sword in the Japanese version is Rei-Ken.

QUOTES (13)
ADD QUOTES-
Kuwabara: (looking at the Spirit Sword) Pretty cool... but how do I turn it off?
-
Yusuke: Oh, don't be such a dope, Kuwabara. Botan's not a witch, she's the Grim Reaper. And she's my assistant as Spirit Detective.
-
Kuwabara: I can't tell which one, though. There's nothin' obvious, but I can smell it, y'know? Like... Like...
Yusuke: Like a silent fart in a crowded elevator?
Kuwabara: Close enough, yeah. -
Kibano: May the strongest man win.
Kuwabara: What are you waiting for, Urameshi?
Kibano: Have you decided not to fight?
Yusuke: Oh no, I was just praying for your mortal soul. -
Kuwabara: It's just crummy chump change compared to all the days Urameshi ran my head into the concrete.
Yusuke: It's true, I've punched him quite a few times. -
Yusuke: Sounds like a typical Saturday morning street fight, huh Kuwabara?
-
Genkai: I am a psychic, not a saint.
-
Musashi: It's the perfect weapon for striking down evil.
(Jumps with his sword)
Kuwabara: I'm not evil! -
Yusuke: Come on Kuwabara! Hit him!
Kuwabara: Will you shut up already?! -
(the fighters were told to introduce themselves)
Musashi: Name's Mushashi. I'm a fourth-degree black belt under Kendo of Shibattou School. I hunt down evil beings and destroy them.
Shorin: I am Shorin, a psychic-in-training. I have traveled the world in search of a perfect instructor.
Kibano: People call me Kibano. I am a master in every style of martial arts and I live to test my own limits.
Chinpoh: Chinpoh the Wanderer. Nice to meet you all.
Kazemaru: I'm Kazemaru of the Ninjas. Bodyguard of government officials. I've been trained in the Ninjitsu art of stealth.
Kuwabara: Kazuma Kuwabara. The worst punk in Sarayashi Junior High.

Kuroda: My name is Kuroda. Contract killer. -
Kuwabara: Hey, what's wrong with the light? I don't like that, lady!
Yusuke: Yeah, Grandma! What's with that? You expect us to fight in the dark?
Genkai: Yes, you little crap that's exactly what I expect. You must use your Spirit Awareness to see. Use weapons if you've got 'em. Hit them where you like, anything goes. The winner is the one who can walk back alive. -
Genkai: From here on, you can forget about sympathy! The final test will a be a tournament between the eight of you, until one is standing. You will fight until your opponent is dead or incapacitated. I don't care which.

(Kuwabara creates the Spirit Sword)
Musashi: What the hell is that?
