Dark Tournament is one of the most exciting and compelling arcs in the YuYu Hakusho story. Yusuke and his friends must unleash their full potential to survive against the powerful teams, especially Team Toguro.
Here, we would like to discuss about the strongest teams participating in Dark Tournament. Who are they? Check out the following discussion to find out!
10. Kido Sentai
Unlike the other teams, Kido Sentai doesn't receive much attention, so information about them is minimal. They briefly faced off against Team Gorenja.
The only member shown was a tall, burly figure. He fought against a member of Team Gorenja named Momorenja. He was easily defeated in that battle.
9. Team Gokai Six
Like Team Kido Sentai, Team Gokai Six is a weak team that only appears briefly in the story. Their members are demons who resemble monsters from horror movies, such as vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein.
Despite their intimidating appearance, their strength is far inferior to that of Team Uraotogi. Therefore, their members are easily defeated one by one, ultimately ending up eliminated mid-match.
8. Team Spirit Warriors
Although Team Spirit Warriors fell early in the match, their strength as a team is quite remarkable. Their members are mostly demons with large bodies and intimidating appearances.
For example, Rugby, who had targeted Urameshi. Furthermore, their leader, Topaz, also possesses impressive physical strength. Unfortunately, they were unlucky to face Young Toguro.
7. Team Ichigaki
Team Ichigaki is a very unique team because their powers originate from a superhuman enhancement scientific experiment. The team is under the supervision of a mad scientist known as Dr. Ichigaki.
The team consists of three powerful fighters. They are students of the martial artist. They willingly became subjects of Dr. Ichigaki's experiments and were transformed into killing machines to cure their teacher's illness.
6. Team Gorenja
One of Team Gorenja's greatest achievements was their progress to the semifinals. They boast members whose strengths are quite impressive. They were able to defeat the Kido Sentai squad with ease.
However, they were unlucky against Team Toguro. They were all defeated by Karasu, Bui, and Old Toguro. Their strength was nothing compared to the three of them.
5. Team Mashoutsukai
Although Team Mashoutsukai used dirty tricks to win, they are inherently strong. They are known as demon ninjas who live in the shadows and enjoy doing dirty work.
They have several powerful fighters on their team, such as Jin, who can control wind, and Gama, who can paralyze opponents with his paint and blood. They want to win the Dark Tournament so they can live freely in the surface world.
4. Team Rokuyukai
Team Rokuyukai is the first team Team Urameshi faces in the Dark Tournament. Uniquely, the team consists of six members. The strongest among them were Rinku, Zeru, and Chu.
The three of them put on a very fierce fight against Team Urameshi, especially Chu. He was able to put Urameshi in a fairly tight spot. Although they were knocked out early in the match, their strength was clearly superior to that of the previous teams.
3. Team Uraotogi
The next strongest team is Team Uraotogi. Team members possess various unique special abilities. They are also inspired by legendary Japanese folk tales, such as the story of Momotaro.
Team Uraotogi uses a dice system to determine which fighters will compete in the arena. They are able to force the fighters from Team Urameshi to fight hard, especially Kuro Momotaro, who puts Hiei in a difficult position.
2. Team Toguro
In second place is Team Toguro, which is greatly feared by everyone. The members of this team generally possess powers beyond logic. They can face multiple opponents simultaneously without difficulty.
The team's four main fighters are Young Toguro, Old Toguro, Karasu, and Bui. They are all capable of putting Team Urameshi in a life-or-death situation. Despite this, they are ultimately defeated by Team Urameshi.
1. Team Urameshi
As the winners of the Dark Tournament, Team Urameshi is undoubtedly the strongest team. They are the dark horse of the tournament. Despite being underestimated, they proved they could compete with other teams.
Team Urameshi consistently faced difficulties and disadvantageous situations in every round/match. However, they overcame them thanks to their unwavering determination to survive and win.
