[@ckenshin3841]

Karama stepping in for Yusuke this round was really smart. Yusuke would have probably been duped by Gama's paint techniques leaving him vulnerable against Touya. This way it leaves Yusuke available to go up against the straightforward heavy hitters like Bakken and Jin

[@abduljah9355]

True. I really think Kurama could have beaten Bakken if he hadn't had to fight two other rounds back to back. Bakken's powers are not that good.

[@desupair]

While what you're saying is logical, it only makes sense if both of them had the insight of Team Masho's ability beforehand. They were pitted against this team after immediately fighting the last one. No rest of time to get to know the next group of fighters. So they wouldn't have time to know who has what abilities. Kurama's objective was more simple than that: To get as much wins as possible before he goes down so that Yusuke's energy is not spent when it's his turn. Increasing their chances of proceeding to the next stage of the tournament.

[@ChasehaWing]

Wai that means... everyone else in this entire show is an armature EXCEPT him. So much for the main character.

[@BlackangelKatakuri]

He's referring to the fact that those at the top can simply attack you with their energy not requiring the use of their arms and legs to attack you. We see this for example when Younger Toguro just with his aura cut Yusuke.

[@YouthRightsRadical]

Every character in the show is an amateur compared to him. Kurama is the single most skilled character in the entire series, and he is only ever vulnerable due to lacking the raw power to fully exploit that skill against more powerful foes.

[@VixXstazosJOB]

Yusuke is no amateur. He does do more than just punching and kicking. The lesson Kurama said is an easy thing in fights that surelly Genkai knows, ergo, she absolutely teached it to Yusuke and her students.

[@SilverMoonCrystalPower]

Yu Yu Hakusho characters have lots of reference to Dragon Ball Z. In this scene, Gama has a strong reference to Frieza because of the following attributes: 1. Gama's head bandana is oval like Frieza's purple "coating" or "shell" on his head 2. Make-up and lipstick, including the marking on body parts like shoulders and chest have the same positioning as with Frieza's purple marks around his body. 3. Gama's pale skin is like that of Frieza's white skin.

[@whosaidiwantedahandle]

[@ianr7014]

Dude, Gama, you're fighting someone who is still a YOKAI. And he's known as an ANIMAL and a TRICKSTER spirit! How are you gonna not figure out he might just maybe, JUST maybe might have a few tricks up his sleeve that don't involve his HUMAN ARMS AND LEGS ffs

[@tim9119]

Kurama is a badass but Yoko doesnt give a fuck yes i know their the same person but Yoko would kill his enemy without giving it a second thought at least what i've seen from Yoko which is probably why Hiei wont fight Kurama

Hiei actually said that he recruited Kurama specifically to avoid facing him in combat. He might not have known too much, but Hiei is not bad at guessing his opponents power. It's why few people face him and survive.

[@iseeyou4117]

I used to think what Hiei would do in this situation, if he couldn´t use his energy. Then I thought, he wouldn´t be in this situation, he would kill Gama right off the bat xD

[@YouthRightsRadical]

Yep. Hiei's pretty consistently critical of Kurama letting his curiosity get the better of him. Kurama's strategy is to learn his enemy's move set in its entirety, then absolutely crush them in a way that leaves nothing to chance. Hiei goes for the blitz as quickly as he can so any fancy tricks his enemy may have up their sleave stay up their sleave and never become a factor in the fight. Both strategies have strengths and weaknesses.

[@darkpaladin.]

Yea he would've speed blitz Gama even though Gama was fast

[@peacefulwarrior9518]

I can't agree with Gama's choice to die to seal Kurama it makes no sense. I get that he was willing to give his life to win. But at this point you gotta be thinking Toguro's team is the hardest fight. You can't afford to lose a member this early in the tournament to make one win easier. It's just bad strategy.

Kurama plans ahead and he doesn't like to jump in right away in case the opponent has trick up their sleeve. That sometimes does mean the opponent would be able to land hit on Kurama. But whenever Kurama is done planning his opponents pretty much always die in a gruesome way. He goes for the sure kill instead of the quick kill basically.
