controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

In the anime, you actually got to see quite a bit of Yomi vs. Yusuke & it was awesome. But regardless, in the manga pretty much all of it is off-screen. I like how the tournament played out & I wouldn't want to sit through all of it but the anime clearly handled this better. The little time-jump notwithstanding, I liked this chapter. I like how Yusuke introduced himself to Kuwabara & Kurama and I especially like the closing moments of the chapters.

I like how the arc begins in a really serious tone but then just goes full comedy.

As soon as the tournament is announced, there really isn't a need to see it fully. It's all supposed to just play with your expectations and that has already happened by this point. So I actually like that they skip the end of the tournament and just explain it for comedic effect. That the winner is a pretty random demon is just so fun.

The whole arc could have been serious and would probably be better if it was, but I think Togashi did the best of the situation.

Wow they really skipped the Hiei vs Mukuro, Kurama vs Shigure and Yusuke vs Yomi fights. i would be heated if i haven't already seen the anime lol

The spirit world being evil and Koenma impeaching his father was a surprise, the anime should've included that.

One of the worst chapters that I have ever read in any manga, not just we don't get to see a conclusion to the tournament and the conflict between the three kings and the whole arc itself, but we get an info dump that actually everything that we knew and was established in the manga is actually a lie, demons are good guys and the spirit world are bad guys brainwashing actual demons into committing crimes, actually even humans are worse than demons, we're the ones making demons do bad things, just wow, there are only five chapters left and this one doesn't even make me wanna finish it.
