## Summary

Kuwabara’s body lays broken. Shorin is nowhere to be found. And with Yusuke’s energy dwindling every minute, the evil Rando reveals his true and monstrous form. Now, can the injured Yusuke battle the human-hunting demon and close the case? How can he, when Rando has ninety-nine deadly techniques in his arsenal!

## Plot Details

Yusuke's final battle with Rando begins after the human hunter reveals his true form. Kuwabara's body lays broken and unconscious but he still mutters support for Yusuke. Rando taunts Yusuke with the decision of which of his ninety-nine techniques to use. Yusuke strikes first and hits Rando with a barrage of punches. Due to his lack of Spirit Energy, Yusuke's punches have zero damage on Rando.

Rando tests his life-force thread move on Yusuke, binding him with physical threads made of Rando's own energy. He swings Yusuke around, slamming him into the ground and through trees. Botan is terrified by Yusuke's brutal beating and begs Genkai to stop Rando. Despite knowing Rando will use her techniques for evil, Genkai says that she will teach the winner because her moves must be passed on to the next generation no matter what.

Rando hangs Yusuke from a tree over a muddy body of water. The demon uses an incantation to summon Hate Fish from the depths of the demon world. He uses it to intimidate Yusuke and then surprises everyone by unleashing Yusuke's signature move, the Spirit Gun. Rando doesn't hit Yusuke, but he uses it to try and break his spirit. Botan is surprised Rando learned to use the move by watching Yusuke just once and Genkai commends his incredible adaptability and understanding of the human spirit. Genkai even believes that he would greatly improve her own techniques if he were to learn them.

Rando shoots the branch holding up Yusuke using another Spirit Gun and attempts to feed Yusuke to the fish. Yusuke falls into the water but a piece of Kuwabara's soul leaves his body and enters Yusuke. Kuwabara's spirit encourages Yusuke by antagonizing him and transfers the last of his own Spirit Energy to him. Yusuke frees himself from the binds and his Spirit Energy explodes, destroying all the fish.

Rando waits for Yusuke to surface out of the water to fire another Spirit Gun, but Yusuke suddenly appears behind him from another piece of the swamp. Yusuke's Spirit Gun clashes with Rando's Spirit Gun and manages to win, sending Rando reeling back into the water. Everyone hopes that Yusuke has won, but Rando evaporates all the water and prepares himself to defeat Yusuke once and for all. He admits that both of them are approaching their limits and decides to use his Reduction Spell to crush Yusuke just like he did to Kuwabara.

However, Rando's spell shrinks his own body, much to his confusion and dismay. Genkai explains that the victim must hear the incantation for the spell to work properly, so it backfired and shrunk the user instead. She tells Rando that he must practice applying his stolen techniques more if he plans on using them in a battle. Yusuke's ears were filled with swamp algae, meaning he couldn't hear Rando talking. Exhausted, Yusuke allows his body to fall and elbow drops Rando's tiny body to defeat him.

Genkai announces Yusuke as the winner of the tournament and Koenma celebrates from his office. One of his assistants tells him that a lot of paperwork has been backed up since watching the fighting, upsetting the young prince. Genkai heals Kuwabara's wounds and tells Yusuke that he must train under her for the next six months, meaning he won't get to go to the Tokyo battle dome after all.
