**The Deadly Triad** (恐ろしき強敵! 三鬼衆, *Osoroshiki Kyōteki! San Kishū*?, lit. **Terrifyingly Mighty Foes! The Sankishu**) is the twenty-fourth episode of the Yu Yu Hakusho anime and the Spirit Detective Saga.

## Summary

Struggling their way to the front gates of Tarukane’s stronghold, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan now face a much greater challenge: three notorious demon fighters known throughout Spirit World as the Triad! Can the Spirit Detective team fight three outlandish opponents one after another, and save the tortured Yukina?

## Plot Details

The Spirit Detective Team encounters Miyuki of the Triad first. Kuwabara refuses to fight a girl but Yusuke is plenty game. They appear to exchange blows and Yusuke feels Miyuki's chest to be sure she's a lady. Miyuki takes major offense to this and creates a whip from her hair.

Miyuki chokes Yusuke with her whip and hangs him with it by it by breaking through the floor above him. Kuwabara says he deserves to be choked for feeling up a woman but Botan disagrees. The Black Black Club watch from the events and Tarukane is impressed by Miyuki's performance.

Yusuke swings using the hair whip and breaks through the floor above him as well. He escapes the choke and hits her through the floor back into the hallway. They continue to scuffle and Kuwabara is horrified by Yusuke's brutal treatment of the women.

Yusuke reveals that he felt all of Miyuki's private parts and figured out she's actually male. Miyuki feels insulted and claims Yusuke is beating her down because he thinks she's a freak. Yusuke clears the air and tells everyone it doesn't matter what Miyuki is. The simple fact is that she's in the way of rescuing Yukina and that means she has to go down.

After defeating Miyuki, the Spirit Detective Team look primed to compromise Tarukane's operation. The other members of the Black Black Club believe he will owe Sakyo tens of billions of dollars at this rate. In Koenma's office, he and his ogre assistant have a wager of their own. Meanwhile, Hiei comes closer to the tower containing Yukina. He recalls watching her grow up in the past and is filled with anger and determination to save her.

In the corridor of the compound, Kuwabara stops Yusuke and Botan from falling into another trap. The demon Inmaki reveals himself and surprise attacks Yusuke using his incredible speed. The team decides to flee but Inmaki continues to chase them until he's lead into a narrow hallway. Using the environment to their advantage, Yusuke fires his Shotgun and leaves nowhere for Inamki to hide. They defeat him and let everyone watching know there is just one member left of the triad.

Suddenly, Gokumonki appears and takes Botan hostage. He strikes at the boys with his mace and shields himself using Botan. Kuwabara tries to counter with his Spirit Sword but he holds back too much, concerned for Botan's safety. He's knocked back by the powerful demon and Yusuke quickly checks on him. Gokumonki is overconfident because of his hostage. However, Botan slips out of her jacket and gets away from him. Without needing to hold back, Yusuke and Kuwabara easily defeat the demon. With the triad defeat, the boys tell Tarukane that they're coming for him next.

The final round of betting begins between Yusuke's team and the Toguro Brothers. The Black Black Club puts pressure on Tarukane now that Sakyo has won again. The others want to win their money back and plan to back up Sakyo on their next bet to make back their money. Tarukane believes he's the only one who knows Toguro's true power and plans on hustling them to make his money back.

Once again, Sakyo shocks everyone with his bet. He bets enough to cover everything Tarukane owns including Yukina, and he bets it on the intruders. The others choose to sit out on this winner takes all bet and Tarukane agrees.

Kuwabara establishes a connection with Yukina and talks to her telepathically. She tells him not to come because the worst guards are still around. He ignores her plea and leads the others in her direction. Just outside, Hiei senses the Toguro Brothers but remains determined to rescue his sister. Kuwabara and Yusuke enter a chamber where the Toguro Brothers wait inside. The final battle is set between these infamous criminals and the Spirit Detective Team.
