Team Spirit Warriors (魔界狂戦士, Makai Kyosenshi, translated as Demon Realm Crazed Warrior Team) called Team Baal's Berserkers in the English manga, were a team of large demons that participate in the Dark Tournament. Their leader, Topaz, had ambitions of killing Yusuke Urameshi, but was single-handedly defeated by Younger Toguro along with the rest of his team. In the anime, they also had a sixth member named Rugby, who was killed by Topaz for trying to kill Yusuke before he himself had the opportunity to do so in the ring. Their specialty appeared to be the overwhelming strength of their weapons and size, in addition to their immense Yoki to enhance their physical strength; in fact, almost all the members of this team possess a weapon of some sort. Rugby, the sixth anime-only member, possesses a football-like weapon made of spirit energy. During Younger Toguro's Match, Elder Toguro and Karasu can be seen watching at a nearby entrance.

Trivia[]
- In the original Japanese version, they are called the "Demon Realm Crazed Warrior Team", the dub name is attributed to the huge amount of Yoki each member possesses.
- Their English anime dub name may draw upon the 1980s and 1990s WWE/WCW/AWA/NWA wrestling tag team duo, The Road Warriors, and their overall appearance evokes impressions of wrestlers and biker or outlaw warriors found in Mad Max and Fist of the North Star.
- Each of the team's name is either a tough material or subject, Dosukoi is a "Sumo Exclamation", Gorilla is a powerful ape, Rugby is a contact sport similar to American football, Topaz is a tough mineral, Gagaki and Babaki respectively mean "Shit" and "Rugged."
- The manga is rather inconsistent to how the fighters died. For example, Gorilla was beheaded in the manga, but when Toguro was shown as the winner, his corpse is bisected, or split in two.
- Dosukoi bears a resemblance to E. Honda from the Street Fighter series and they both have an attack with a similar style: the "Hundred Hands Slap".
