Synopsis
Saying that fighting in his purpose, Toguro also says he gets hungry when he's at 100%. He uses a technique to suck in and devour the souls of the demons he has killed. Most demons try to escape, but Sakyo activates a wall, which surrounds the entire stadium. Some demons try to attack Toguro himself, but he easily kills them all.
Yusuke tries to attack Toguro, but again fails to do any damage. As Toguro beats him up, Keiko thinks about how before, she and Yusuke were just going to school together, and now Yusuke is fighting for his life. She begins to think all of this is just a dream, and yells for Yusuke to go home with her, but she then enters a comatose like state. Toguro continues to attack Yusuke, and asks if he's going to let him devour the souls of everyone in the stadium. He begins killing more spectators by vaporizing them, then devouring their souls.
Koto nearly perishes, but Chu protects her and Rinku with a barrier he creates. Toguro threatens to attack Botan's group, and throws an energy projectile at them that deliberately misses. He says he won't miss next time, but Yusuke gets up and punches him in the face hard. It still fails to hurt him, and he swats Yusuke aside with one swipe.
Puu suddenly gains the ability to talk... and talks in Genkai's voice. Genkai tells Botan and Yukina to create their own periphery realm to protect four, and then flies off. Shizuru says Genkai must have possessed Puu's body. Genkai flies down and tells Toguro that, if he wants to bring out Yusuke's true power, he should kill one of Yusuke's friends. As Yusuke is unable to draw out his true power by himself, unless one of his friends dies before his eyes, he won't awaken. Yusuke can't believe she's saying this, but Genkai points out that unless he is stopped, Toguro is going to kill everyone in the stadium. Toguro says he'd thought about doing that, and decides to kill Kuwabara. Yusuke desperately tries to stop him, but is powerless before Toguro.
Kuwabara is ready to die, and charges, but Toguro uses his incredible speed to get right up to him before he can do anything. He plunges his hand into Kuwabara's chest, causing him to lose a lot of blood. Kuwabara tells Urameshi he's more than just this, so he must not disappoint him. He then collapses, and as Toguro moves away, the rest of the Urameshi team run over. Kurama tells Kuwabara to stay with them, but it's too late -Kuwabara is dead. Yusuke slowly gets up, and a strange glow emits from him. In an instant, he appears behind Toguro. Toguro feels a cold shiver, which surprises him. Yusuke tells Toguro what he did was unforgivable, but more than anyone else, he can't forgive himself. Having risen to his feet, does Yusuke have the power to fight Toguro at 100%?
-In the manga, Kuwabara is the one who mentions Toguro's instinct. In the anime, Koenma is the one who mentions it.
-In the manga, Atsuko is the one who calls Toguro a rotten bastard. In the anime, her dialogue was given to Shizuru.
-Jin is not seen making a wind barrier for himself and Toya in the manga, like he does in the anime.
-The demons who try to attack Toguro look different in the manga than they do in the anime. They also all die more violently in the manga, as Toguro blows apart each of their heads.
-The manga does not show how the wall suddenly pops up around the stadium. The anime adds a part where Sakyo uses a device to activate it.
-Keiko and Yusuke's flashback sequences aren't in the manga.
-Chu is not seen protecting Koto in the manga.
-In the manga, Kuwabara doesn't summon a spirit sword before he attacks Toguro.
-Due to the new year celebrations, there was a two week gap between this episode and the previous one during the original broadcasts, instead of the usual one week.
-The opening recap sequence uses new animation to show some of the previous episode's events, rather than use some animation from the previous episode.
