The Dark Tournament is now underway and you can tell this is where Togashi really got his groove going.

With the first round going to a surprise victor, it is up to Kurama and Hiei to win now. Both get to show off exactly why they're so powerful. Kurama having to not snap, and Hiei going all out with his new attack that looked fantastic. But it is really Yusuke's bout with a Drunk that you think might be silly but is intense, brutal, and well worth the first major fight for our new Yusuke after the training he had.

Overall this is a wonderful volume that showcases a lot of great fights and begins to build towards the next one nicely. I really enjoyed all the character interaction, you finally feel like they're an official team now. The fights are more intense and brutal as well. I can't wait to get even further into this book.

A 4.5 out of 5.
