Deadly Tuguro has all the elements that Yu Yu Hakusho fans look for including a good storyline and great battle scenes. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because of a flashback to Sakyo's life story and because Yusuke and Toguro spend a lot of time standing around sizing each other up. I did not feel this added to the story, just slowed it down. The fight scenes are very well done and watching Yusuke unleash his full power is awesome. Tuguro finally powers up to 100% at the end of the DVD leaving you wanting the next installment to come out. I would recommend watching both the English and Japanese versions. Even though the story is the same the dialogue is quite different and makes both versions interesting. Stick around at the end of each episode as the ending song has changed and I believe you will like it.

This is without a doubt one of the best DVD's in the series (and I have seen them all)! The end of Kuwabara's match and Sakyo's proposal are nice appetizers to the final battle between Toguro and Yusuke. I found that the background info and dialogue to really help to show you how personal this match really is. And Toguro finally going to 100% power, and seeing Yusuke power are both absolutely incredible. Also, the new ending theme is great and is actually my favorite song from the show. If your even a mild Yu Yu Hakusho fan, I recommend this DVD, because, to quote Koto, "It's hell in a basket, and I love it all!"

This DVD was awesome! Spirit Flyswater? Kuwabara is hilarious! But when Younger Toguro killed his brother, it was beautiful in a freaky, murderous, stalker kinda way! His brother was freaky! But when Toguro got to 100%, ewww! All those muscles were creepy, yet cool! And Yusuke's flashback to the Spirit Cuffs was funny! And like Jin said, "Wow, when your wind can make a pheonix ya know ya got something big!" That was like the coolest thing I've ever seen! And when he went after Toguro, that punching was incredible! I love this DVD! Go add it to your collection and make sure you go watch this first and then get Tournament's End because that's great too! Anyone who said it lacked fighting is so blind to see the truth! It's awesome! But, if you can't stand the sight of blood or some swearing and a "weird" comment or two, then you're watching the wrong show or just go get the dubbed version! It depends on your age or what you can handle or what your parents say! But overall, it's off the heezy ya'll! Holla Back! 5 stars baby 5 stars!And I'm a girl and I can say I love this show just like my other friend who's a girl! Many girls in Japan love this and all girls who love or like DB,DBZ,or DBGT will like this anime! Go get it!

Like all of my Yu Yu Hakusho review so far, I saw this one on a crappy subtitled version which took all of the fight and condensed it into 5 minutes. I didn't see much of the Kuwabara/Elder Toguro fight but I can mention this: Kuwabara learns of Genkai's death from Elder Toguro and becomes enraged. In his blind and stupid fury, he tries to slice his enemy to bits. Throughout the entire fight, I'm guessing Elder Toguro is sliced up and put together around 2 or 3 times. Eventually, and in a way I wasn't explained in my junky version, Kuwabara defeats Elder Toguro, leaving Yusuke and Younger (yet much more evil) Toguro for the final round of the Dark Tournament!

Togoro FINALLY goes to 100% of his power and Yusuke releases his energy in what I think looks like a phoenix. Anyway, I'll continue this review of the Torugo/Yusuke fight in the next volume of Yu Yu Hakusho: End of the Dark Tournament (Uncut)!

In this DVD, Kuwabara's fight with the Elder Toguro concludes and Yusuke's fight with the Younger Toguro begins...

In the episode Sakyo's Proposal, Kuwabara's fight with the Elder Toguro concludes. The man event is set to begin: Yusuke vs. Toguro. But, before this match can begin, Sakyo makes a wager. He puts his life on the line. If Toguro wins, he lives. If Yusuke lives, he dies. Koenma agrees to these terms. Now, this is the desicive battle. The winner earns 2 points, winning the tournament.

In the episode Yusuke vs. Toguro, the climactic final battle begins. In the beginning, it is an even fight. At least, that's what Team Urameshi thinks. Toguro destroys the ring. Now, the only way to win is by death. Yusuke fires a charged up Spirit Gun, but it doesn't leave a dent in Toguro's body. Yusuke now knows that he will have to give everything he has to defeat this monster.

In the episode Toguro's Full Power, Yusuke shows Toguro that hw hasn't been fighting with full power. He removes the Spirit Cuffs, and item givin to him by Genkai for his training. Yusuke's power explodes and he, well, he beats Toguro mercislessly. But, this doesn't last for long. Toguro is impressed with Yusuke's full power, and charges to 100%...

You would have never known that yusuke had all that power ti defeat togoro, togoro revealed his maximum strength, and it was huge, the fight with kuwabara was awesome!! it is a must have!!

This is a nice DVD to add to the Yu Yu Hakusho collection. Some of the reviews say that it is just a bunch of talking and powering up, but it offers enough fighting in between to keep it interesting.

Yusuke vs. Toguro. The match we've been waiting for on DVD for almost a year since DVD vol. 8, the Dark Tournament Begins. Now the two are ready to finally fight it out, to the death. There will only be one left standing. And will Yusuke be able to defeat his enemy once Toguro powers to %100 percent at last, his power killing the weaker youkai in the process? Well, the answer's not even in this volume since it's continued into the next one, but be ready for some real kick-butt action! Oh, and in case you don't know who the guy is during the new end credits, his name is Shinobu Sensui. He's going to be the next major villain in the series after the Dark Tournament storyline wraps up! Here's hoping that after "Tournament's End," comes out in December, the next saga will begin soon!

For Toguro and Yusuke fans (Kuwabara fans also) you should like this. "SPIRIT FLYSWATTER!" pwns all. Anyway, there's a lot of suspense and talking. I didn't enjoy it all that much, but I DO want to know how Yusuke vs. Toguro will be resolved. I'd say buy it used...

tournaments end should have 4 eps. if i'm not mistaken
i was disapionted when i looked at the back of the box
ther was only 3 eps. not 4 but this was pretty cool so
what if thers only 3 it was a vary good. my faverite 1
