Genkai disguised herself as the masked fighter because she didn't want people to know she was Genkai. The last time she fought in the Dark Tournament was when she and Taguro parted ways. Her wish was to never participate in the Dark Tournament again. And there she was participating in the Dark Tournament again. And she was ashamed to be there. So she hid her face.

I actually liked Kuwabara's fakeout death because it proves Genkai's point and Toguro's intention better.

I actually really like Kuramas arsenal of different plants and seeds. It reflects on him as a character as well. The plants can be gentle and used for healing and lighting the way to find your way out. Or they can be used to poison or immobilize or hold down an enemy. It never really felt like an asspull to me considering there's so many different types of plants in the real world that do so many different things. They can be used as medicine just as much as they can be used to kill. His large arsenal of plants also reflect his intelligence and him being able to plan a way out of most situations. I feel like context is very important in regarding stuff like that. It never really felt like it came out of nowhere to me because it really suited what type of character he was. His Fox half being cold and calculating and his human half being warm and gentle. Other than Yusuke because of his emotional development Karama is my favorite character.

Totally agree with everything you said. It was a perfect way to show Kurama’s duel nature, high intelligence, and versatility. He straight up was my favorite character in the series, but that’s no diss on the show, as it has probably the best cast in all of anime in my opinion (with the possible exception of Full Metal Alchemist, Brotherhood).

Technically Kurama's powers are asspulls but it didn't matter since it was the 90's, we were kids and only want to see some cool shit. Togashi's writing went through the roof after YH with HxH and has since raised the bar that only few manga/anime can match.

Doesn't it explain that Hiei uses the darkness dragon flame right away, because he knows he can't win the fight? He uses it because its his only option, he was just aware enough to know it immediately and plays it off like it was nothing/overkill because he felt like it. He knew is opponent was that strong and had to use his trump card.

The only thing I don’t like in this arc is that Genkai was brought back at the very end. She wasn’t needed for the rest of the series, (emphasis on NEEDED, someone else could have covered the things she does later on) and she had a great and meaningful death. Her talking to Toguro in other world as a young woman again, him headed to limbo/hell, and she to heaven was an absolutely perfect capstone for both characters, and an indication of the new generation fully coming to their own.

@@CYeoung the wish was never really much of a focal point of the dark tournament arc. Also since all the rich and powerful people were dead by the end, no wish would be able to be granted, and all it would take is one joke panel of Kuwabara being irritated about that. But the real granted wish (narratively speaking) would be that the dark tournament is no longer a thing.

I disagree. Like with Kuwabara's fake death, Genkai's revival was a good illustration of Taguro's planning and gave him some kind of peace. He didn't want Genkai to die like that, but had to do it to push Yusuke. So her revival wasn't for Yusuke really, it was for Taguro, which is why I think it's just fine.

I actually think sacrificing the magic system's consistency for good character moments is always a worthy trade off. Plot convenience exists in pretty much all types of media, and all it does is make the show more fun to watch. Like, can you imagine if Yusuke randomly died during a fight and the show abruptly ended? That would be more realistic, but it wouldn't be fun to watch. I like waiting for what weird tricks the characters will pull out of their ass to win a fight.

Tbh I do feel like hxh has better fights it’s just that he was not very Experience in Yu Yu Hakusho but in hxh he was able to learn from Yu Yu hakusho to make the fights way better in hxh but Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite anime of all time by the way I love this video 2. I hate when They bring characters back to life same with dragonball I always felt like what’s the point if you gonna bring them back to life so the death don’t really feel that impactful that’s why I rarely take dragonball characters deaths seriously anymore cause for that reason just so l the characters can power up and win the fight to keep the plot going that’s my two cents into the deaths in anime.
