YuYu Hakusho, Vol. 13 by Yoshihiro Togashi
4.0
A fitting end to the Dark Tournament arc and a smooth transition to the Black Chapter arc.
Learning about Toguro's past was sad and is the final piece to the puzzle in understanding his motivations and ideology. I'm glad the the series doesn't try to push readers to forgive him or try to excuse his actions, rather paint him as an emotionally broken man obsessed with power. His final exchange with Genkai was bittersweet, but appropriate for their relationship.
As for the intro to the Black Chapter arc, I will say that the powers present in this arc are some of the most interesting in the series. As much as I'm nostalgic for this series, it's very clear that the powers most demons and humans have are unoriginal and mostly there to look cool. Not that this is necessarily bad, but the fights are pretty much just power struggles with little to no creativity. I don't remember all of the territory powers, so it'll be fun to read this arc and rediscover them.
That's about it. Looking forward to this arc.
