This episode originally aired in Japan on June 11th, 1994. (edit) Itsuki in the unedited version openly admitted he could also love Sensui as a "lover". (homosexuality is generally accepted in Japan, and has been indicated in other animes.) (edit) We learn Itsuki has a REAL soft spot for Sensui; in both terms of loyalty and even love. (edit) Sensui gave himself the many scars we see on his body. (edit) Original Title: "Spirit Realm Detectives (Reikai Tantei)--A fated One-on-One Battle" (edit)

Yusuke: (after seeing what Kurama did to Toguro) Kurama, if I ever did something to anger you, I'm really sorry. (edit) Kurama: You should know, I will kill you if I can, without remorse.
Itsuki: You will do what you must, Kurama, but whether I live or die, the battle will not be affected. My Ura-Otoko will make sure of that. You see, I'm the only one who can control him.
(short pause)
Hiei: If we kill him, I get the first hit. (edit) Kurama (about Sinning Tree): Such is the plant's nature. Only your own sins can hurt you.
Yusuke: Uh, Kurama, if I ever did something that pissed you off, I'm sorry.
Mitari: Me too. (edit) Yusuke: (to Sensui) Maybe there have been times when I've been pissed and hated things, but it wasn't from this work. My dad's a no-show, my mom's a lush, and school sucks. But this job is the one damn thing I've ever been good at. And if all the crap in my life hasn't screwed me up yet, then neither will this. And neither will you. (edit) Kuwabara: (indicating the scars Sensui has) Guess he wasn't lying about all the fights he's been through.
Sensui: Don't you know what they say about assuming, Kuwabara? These wounds aren't from enemies, no one's ever hurt me that bad. I gave myself these scars as part of my training.
Yusuke: (to himself) Great, a masochist. (edit)

From this episode until Death Of A Spirit Detective, the TV and couch appear and disappear randomly. This very noticable in this episode. (edit) Kurama put Toguro in the Sinning Tree, but when the detectives start battling, he is not even in the cave anymore!! (edit)
