Ok now yusuke and the others are forced
to fight in a dark tournament, against the
most powerful demons all around the underworld.
The first fight the Rokuyukai Team. The first
episode finshes up with Kurbara's fight with one
of fighters from Rokuyukai's Team. You should see
what happens, it's very surprizing. Then Kurama
starts to fight with a treachery demon that is
no match for Kurama, but why is Kurama not
fighting back. Then Hiei fights the supposed
leader of the Rokuyukai"s Team. But Hiei uses
a attack that seems to made himself injured.
Then the really good battle begins with
Yusuke and the real leader of the Rokuyukai Team.
His name is Chu. He my seem like a crazy but don't
late that fool you, he is very strong and dangerous.
In the last episode with Yusuke and Chu, they both
use up all their spirit energy and now must fight
with only their fist. It is great ending for this
volume to see this great battle. A+++++ ON THIS GET SERIES.

YU YU HAKUSHO IS THE FAR OUT BEST ANIME I HAVE EVER SEEN.

This DVD contains 4 episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho, uncut, in subs and dubs. If you are buying this, you probably have already seen a fair bit of YYH, and know that it has a clean visual style, and a focus on fighting and magic, with themes of honor and loyalty and perserverance. This DVD is no exception.

The episodes on this DVD cover the first round of the Dark Tournament, which Yusuke and his friends are forced to compete in. The stakes are absurdly high, as is the level of power needed for our heroes to win - so much so that you'll wonder what the show will do to top itself in the next however-many rounds of the tournament.

The pace is unhurried, but nothing like Dragonball Z's lazy meandering through fights. Rarely does a single fight exceed one episode, and often we get through two of them in a single half-hour.

This DVD has more screen time for Kuwabara's older sister, who smokes, drinks, and can take care of herself. More hints about the Mystery Fighter are dropped, also.

This DVD came with a sticker saying "Ages 13 and up", and that's as much for the language and a single obscene gesture as it is for the demon-decapitating violence.

As the Dark Tournament continues, Yusuke and the rest of Team Urameshi find themselves locked in a desperate struggle against the deadly Team Rokuyukai, a band of demons that redefine pain, torture and treachery.

With his team on the verge of defeat, Yusuke springs into action and faces off with Rokuyukai's most prized fighter, Chu, in the most bizarre batle of Yusuke's Life! But how far will these team captains go to win? And at what cost?
