Kidnapping (Manga Chapters 111-117, Anime Episodes 67-70)[]

After the end of the Dark Tournament, Yusuke is bored with his normal life and lack of challenge. Then he is kidnapped by three students with strange physic powers. Botan, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei must play their mind games to save their friend and find out who is the mastermind behind it. Even though Hiei, Kuwabara, and Botan lose at the first game, they are saved by Kurama and later along with Yusuke, manage to beat all of their challenges. It turns out that the whole thing was just a ruse concocted by Genkai, to test the perception skills of Yusuke and his friends. She also reveals that the three students are her new apprentices, along with the information that someone is carving out a tunnel to the Demon World, continuing Sakyo's plan.

The Doctor (Manga Chapters 118-123, Anime Episodes 71-74)[]

Koenma further explains that violent apparitions with chaotically flood the streets and the tunnel will soon be opened. Only B Class demons will be able to pass the tunnel, while the S Class and A Class demons will be repelled by the barrier. Team Urameshi are given three weeks to seek and defeat the ones responsible for the breach. Yusuke, Genkai, Kido, and Yanagisawa go to a local bar, only to find Murota, another psychic human with the ability to read peoples minds. Yusuke challenges Murota to a fight, easily defeating him. The emergent psychic agrees to assist the four in finding the person causing the breach only to be overwhelmed by the violent mental backlash of the person they're looking for. Seconds after identifying their perpetrator, Murota is sent to the hospital after being injured due to a pencil eraser shot by "Sniper". He then finds out that seven people are responsible for the breach. While in the hospital, Yanagisawa and Murota are incapacitated due to strange bugs released by "Doctor". Kido later has his spinal cord severed by Doctor's psychic scalpel. Yusuke arrives when a group of doctors surround Kido. Yusuke is able to determine Doctor's identity after Kido uses his shadow to write his name. Yusuke chases after Doctor and recognizes his powers. He battles Doctor, and is forced to come to a decision whether to kill him to save the people in the hospital. Kuwabara, Botan, Kurama, and Kaito make it to the hospital, alert of the situation. Ultimately, Yusuke blasts Doctor outside of his territory, rendering him unconscious and resolving the situation.

The Seaman (Manga Chapters 124-126, Anime Episodes 75-76)[]

Koenma updates Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan that the breach will occur in one week, due to its spherical shape. Yusuke and Kuwabara part ways after the latter decides to attend a concert with his friends. Meanwhile, Kurama goes to see Koenma, as he suspects that Koenma may already know the identity of who is behind the plot to destroy the barrier. Kuwabara and his friends are soon attacked by "Seaman". While Seaman traps Kuwabara's friends inside his aquatic creature, Kuwabara's inability to use his powers force him into a critical situation. As he continues his fight against Seaman though, Kuwabara's power starts to slowly awake in him again. Seaman realizes that Kuwabara is the one that can shatter barriers between different dimensions. Using his new Spirit Sword, Kuwabara frees his friends and defeats Seaman. Kuwabara brings his friends, along with Seaman, back to his home. Seaman talks about a video called Chapter Black, showing footage of victims of humankind's atrocities against their fellow men. Viewing of this footage can change a human against their own kind. Shinobu Sensui, aka "Black Angel", is revealed to be a former Spirit Detective, unveiled as the mastermind behind the plot to remove the barrier to the Demon World.

Anime and Manga Differences[]

  • Shizuru is absent from this arc in the manga, as she does not appear in the series again after the Dark Tournament Saga until the final chapter. In the anime, as Atsuko's role was severely reduced, Shizuru was added to take over Atsuko's role in this story arc.
  • The place where Yusuke's group first met Shigeru Murota was in Club Majong, a gambling establishment. This was changed into a bar in the anime adaption.
  • Shizuru and Keiko's involvement during the battle in the hospital is anime-exclusive.
  • In the mange, one of the games that Game Master used was called Battle Block that Yana competed in by using his powers to copy Kaito. In the anime, this was replaced with King of the Hill which Yusuke competed in.
  • In the manga, Murota's death was only mentioned when Gourmet demonstrates his ability, while the anime adds a scene of him being attacked by Gourmet.
