Detailed Summary[]
Rando appears in front of Yusuke and his intimidating presence starts to give Yusuke the creeps. Yusuke starts giving Rando a barrage of hard-hitting punches but it doesn't even make Rando budge. Then Rando counters with the Life-Force Thread technique, which binds Yusuke and immobilizes him. Rando then hangs Yusuke from a lake, then with his powers summons some flesh-hunting killer demon fish around Yusuke. Botan tries to convince Genkai to stop the matchup but Genkai does not give in, saying the show is not finished. Then out of nowhere Rando points his finger towards Yusuke and unleashes his own Spirit Gun. Rando breaks the branch Yusuke is hanging on, sending him into the lake below.
Yusuke seemed to give up and was ready to die when a flash of light suddenly comes out of Kuwabara and scares the demon fish off. Kuwabara then uses his spirit to speak to Yusuke and motivates him to get back into the fight, and with that, Yusuke regains his strength and breaks his bonds, and kills the demon fish. Rando tries to shoot Yusuke with his Spirit Gun while he's still in the lake, but Yusuke appears behind him and, using his full strength, he then unleashes the real Spirit Gun. Rando counters with his version but the real one is just too powerful as it blows Rando off and destroys the lake with him.
Yusuke goes down with all his strength used up and believing he just beat Rando. Just then, Rando rises from the now destroyed lake and, now totally enraged, starts beating the hell out of the now unconscious Yusuke with a shower of attacks. Now Rando decides he should crush Yusuke just like what he did earlier to Kuwabara, and then starts uttering his dwarf invocation technique again. Expecting to finish Yusuke off, something goes wrong - Rando was the one getting smaller. Now Rando has gotten smaller as Genkai explains that a wise person can just cover his ears upon hearing the invocation, and the technique will backfire and bring the caster down to mini-size, but Yusuke was unconscious and didn't cover his ears. Just then, Yusuke regains his consciousness and realizes that he got some swamp algae stuck in his ears. Rando decides to reverse the invocation technique, but Yusuke gives him an enormous elbow drop and knocks Rando out of the game.
As Boton collects the unconscious Rando to take to Spirit World, Genkai heals Kuwabara back to his normal self as Yusuke rejoices over winning the competition. Now Yusuke can watch the rock concert he always wanted to watch since his mission is over, but Genkai then tells him since he won the competition, her power must now be transferred to him, so Yusuke must train in her place to gain that power. With that, Yusuke faints as the episode ends.
