Short Summary[]

Kuwabara fights against the team leader, Shishiwakamaru. However, he is quickly sent through the Cape of No Return, and transported out of the ring.

Detailed Summary[]

Kuwabara starts his battle against Shishiwakamaru. It is a duel between a sword of energy and a sword of steel. Shishi is obviously the more skillful of the two. They battle on and on until Shishi unleashes one of his two special items known as the Cape of No Return. Shishi throws the cape at Kuwabara and it surrounds him. He falls through a dimensional portal into the ring that was used before the semi-finals. He finds Botan, Keiko, Yukina, and his sister there; lost. He leads them to the new ring. Meanwhile, they roll the dice again to decide the fight. It comes up on a free space for Team Uraotogi, and the Masked Fighter for Team Urameshi. Hiei is prepared to take her place when she magically shows up behind him and stops him. Shishi is curious about the Masked Fighter's identity, and cuts the mask. Shishi tries to get them disqualified by saying that they're using the mask to sneak in fighters. But Toguro steps in and the committee finds nothing wrong. A new chapter in the semi-finals is set to begin.

Anime Notes[]

  • In this episode, Younger Toguro reveals that the Masked Fighter's true identity is that of Genkai, and that she appears in her younger version only when she uses her full capacity of the Spirit Wave technique.
  • The three demon girls who warn Kuwabara against harming Shishiwakamaru were voiced in the original English version by Alese Johnson, Elise Baughman, and Laura Bailey. To give the crowd scene more diversity, the Blu-ray remastered dub revoices the girls with Amber Barnes, Cherami Leigh, and Kate Bristol respectively.
  • At least two of the spectators have had their voices pitched down in the Blu-ray English version, likely to make them sound less like established characters. Hiei's actor Chuck Huber voices one of the two demons saying Team Urameshi cheated by sneaking in Genkai and has his voice adjusted and the deep voiced spectator who yells "Yeah, he's right!!!" is done by Rugby's actor Bob Carter.
