Murako was the most powerful person at the tournament but since she lost a lot of the pent up hatred she had she really didn't try in her last fight. Raizen was a real monster, Enki wasn't kidding that Yomi and Murako would be shitting their pants if he hadn't nerfed himself.

Sensui's sacred energy was ok, considering he still wasn't that strong in the greater context of things so his sacred energy powering him up to (low level) S class wasn't too bad.

I dunno tbh. Yes, Murako was really strong, stronger than Yomi for sure and as you mentioned, likely weaker than Raizan who sounded like a beast. Probably Raizan > Murako > Yomi.

Having said all that, I don't really know about Murako being the most powerful tbh. I don't think it was mentioned anywhere aside from a quick "she has a gentle look, she'll never fight at full power again" so yes, she's strong. I think Enki would've been a worthy competitor, even at her max considering the whole Raizen bit and him being his partner.

Yes, maybe not but like Sent said, it came out of nowhere. Like, Toguro was hard enough to beat and he was B class and got hyped up to hell and back. The whole dark tournament and even the previous arc before it was hyping up Toguro as a beast who can't be compared to anyone. Then all of a sudden, Sensui comes in as a low S class tier human who makes Toguro looks shitty as hell and beats the crap out of everyone.

Not a single mention of him anywhere. Like, how hard would it have been for Togashi to actually have Konema mention a single line back in the first couple of arcs about there being other spirit detectives, one being really powerful but missing for years now and leave it at that. Could've even had Yusuke ask the question so it's not a forced answer and then when you bring him up lately, you've already said he was extremely strong years back, he's even stronger now etc...

As I said earlier, the last arc is pretty rushed because, apparently, Togashi grew sick of his own manga and wanted to finish it quickly. I agree I would have liked a more in-depth exploration of the demon realm. Cutting the tournament short didn't bother me too much - I already had enough of tournaments. :D I liked that the fights were shorter. In the Dark Tournament Arc, only Kurama's fights were consistently interesting. Genkai rocked hard and Hiei had some badass stuff as well. The fight's of both Yusuke and Kuwabara were incedibly boring for me though...

Powerlevel rises in these shounen shows are always ridiculous and make no sense.

The last arc of YYH is about one of the most disappointing finishers in Shounen Anime. It comes off the tail of Sensui and the S-Class DBZ crap, but at least afterwards the plot seems to be going in another direction. You had three competing factions, Yusuke was going to be against Hiei and Kurama! Things were setting things up for a cool 3-way war arc! Just think of all the possibilities, all these cool demons fighting each other, Yusuke and Hiei finally having a throw down. It even finally elaborated on Kurama and Hiei's backstory, the latter of which was done very well. Everything keeps building up, and it looks like Yusuke is about to kick it off... Annnnnnnd then hes like "hey, remember the Dark Tournament? That was cool, right? Lets just do that again, instead of what we were about to. Except no tension this time!"

God damnit, Togashi. The subsequent tournament was incredibly rushed, you didn't even give a shit about the vast majority of characters (not to mention they all looked weaker than Togoro even though they were infintitely stronger), and it never even gave you the fights you actually wanted. And then its over almost as fast as it begun. But you know, at least the characters we did care about got fights (even though they weren't ideal).

But you want to know the worst part about this arc? Considering how fast it went in the anime, you'd think the anime sped through all the content in the manga, and the manga's version of it would be a full, fleshed out version, right? NOPE. The manga version is even worse! We never saw Kurama fight, we never saw Hiei fight. Virtually all the fights we did get were single panel scenes of fights, and they were like scribbled down or some shit. Yusuke's fight starts with him powering up and hitting Yomi...... And then the whole tournament arc ends, fast-forward to the future with Kurama telling Kuwabara about the results, and off-handedly mentioning people lost. And then you get a whole god damn volume of Yusuke being a ramen salesmen who does demon-spirit-related odd jobs, including Keiko asking Yusuke to investigate some jokes in her girls dorm (involving Yusuke crossdressing). Yeah, he came back early and just started interacting with Keiko like nothing happened, no big reunion heart-felt scene or anything like that.


As far as Enki and Mukuro and power levels go, I don't remember if the anime touched on it, but if Mukuro's mindset was full of hate and what-not, she was easily the strongest fighter in the tournament, and Yomi would be #1. When Raizen was in his prime, he was probably a little stronger than Mukuro, but they were said to be rivals when Raizen was in his prime.

wtfwtfwtfwtfwtf that is just the most fucking terrible way to die. Poor Yui. . Nono is best so you should support her takuru.
If we assume that we have already been shown who the killer is, it's probably the other guy in the photo that nono showed to everyone. Though I don't know who could show delusions to people and brainwash them.
