Something that I'm realizing while rereading this series is how little I cared for the earlier arcs. Not to say they're bad, there's nothing objectively wrong with them, but this volume finishes with the start of the The Beasts of Maze Castle arc and aside from the banter between Hiei and Kuwabara I straight up don't care. Maybe it's because I watched the anime for so many years on repeat that certain don't faze me anymore, but it's kind of disappointing finishing one arc, starting another, and not getting any emotional response.

That being said, there were some highlights from this volume. I never realized how well executed Rando was in terms of a demon stealing techniques; he used so many different kinds and was such a quick study too, definitely didn't give him enough credit when I initially watched his battle with Yusuke. As I said earlier, I love the banter between Hiei and Kuwabara and am looking forward to more as the arc progresses. Genkai is a boss, as usual, and I just love her so much even though she doesn't really do much in this volume.

Overall, not a bad volume, but I'm not enjoying this to the extreme degree that I thought I would. Maybe that'll change later, no clue, but I'll keep reading to see how things change.

I loved this volume. Kuwabara taking on the demon first!!!! No!!!! He has grown on me so much!!!! I was actually impressed with how they handled every fight in here now that this is no longer a goofy-slice-of-life story. The new storyline about Demon City is also fascinating. The Gate of Betrayal scene with the ceiling falling??? So nicely done. It reminded me of the best parts of watching Hunter x Hunter with my wife.
