Short Summary

The Masked Fighter of Team Urameshi is revealed to be a young woman with pink hair, while the battle with the Dr. Ichigaki Team continues.

Detailed Summary

Team Urameshi continue their fight against Team Ichigaki. Kuwabara wants to stop fighting, however, and save the mindless souls inside. The masked fighter is forced to take a hit for Yusuke, when he is busy yelling at Kuwabara. She is thrown back and slammed into the side of the ring, presumably unconscious. It is up to Yusuke and Kuwabara to fend for themselves in the ring and they are failing miserably. Kuwabara still refuses to fight, however, intent on rescuing the human fighters from their dark fates. Dr. Ichigaki eggs them on, still in glee over Team Urameshi's .05% percentage of victory. Kuwabara leaves himself open for a critical blow, still trying to figure out what is wrong with them, but the masked fighter once again deals a crushing blow to her attacker, sending him sprawling. Her mask in tatters, she is revealed to be a short, young woman with pink hair, and a beautiful face.

Everyone is surprised that the fighter isn't Genkai, like they had assumed. She berates them for standing still, and Kuwabara insists that they are still good of heart, somewhere, deep down there, and tells the woman the visions that he sees. She elaborates, informing them that Ichigaki was actually who gave their master the disease in the first place, which means they were stuck inside this murderous job long before they were aware of it. Enraged at the sick doctor, Yusuke and Kuwabara go to attack him, but they are repelled by the three fighters. Kuwabara shouts at them, trying to snap them back, but it can't break the hold Ichigaki has on their body systems.

Suddenly, from the sky, the two other fighters from Team Ichigaki come crashing down, along with Hiei and Kurama, standing on top of the totaled robot. They tell everyone what happened, and try to enter the fight. The announcer stops them, telling them both teams already agreed to a three-on-three fight. Hiei and Kurama are forced to watch from the sidelines.

Kuwabara still tries to snap them out of it, and they pummel him to the point of death, sending him flying out of the ring. The pink-haired woman tells Yusuke something interesting. However, it seems that the fighters intentionally missed hitting all his vital points by mere inches, meaning they are actually at war with their bodies, little by little. With Kuwabara out of commission, Yusuke is forced to end it. He realizes they haven't been saying just "KILL" all along, but "KILL US".

Forced with no other option, he rises up into the sky and prepares an immense Spirit Gun, capable of decimating all of Team Ichigaki.
