The Chapter Black arc could have been my favorite if it hadn't gone downhill. It has some really annoying problems with the names it uses for attacks (mixing them up, implying connections that weren't there, missing connections that were there - hell Spirit Wave is used for at least three different techniques) but also changes a lot of weird lines in the original to something more logical. I watched the anime first, and read the manga second and I agree that the anime is far superior to the manga version, and the dub is mostly better than the sub. You should really read the manga version Three Kings arc for yourself - it won't take long. The whole territory thing his gang had and multiple personalities were awesome.Įdited 10th Jun '15 5:15:26 PM by Vertigo_High Yomi and Mukoro were pretty awesome and really it's a shame those two couldn't get more time. Chapter Black trumps both though, or me to YYH what York Shin is to Hx H.Ĭhapter Black > Dark Tournament > 3 Kings > Saint Beasts > Spirit Detective > Rondo I still put DT over 3 Kings overall due to pacing and DT being pretty much the best tournament arc in an anime ever.

It's certainly when the show went from good to awesome but I thought Chapter Black and 3 kings were better storywise and still hold up quite well on their own. Honestly I can't agree with people saying the Dark Tournament was the best arc and everything after is meh. It's rushed somewhat but has some of the best character fleshing/development in the show and it's unconventional conclusion works well to drive its message home. Finished the series, the last episode playing with smile bomb over the credits is so wonderful.I was sad it ended.ģ Kings doesn't get enough love I think.
