3. NOT AN EDIT – Scene showing the 2 pieces of the dead Helen dropping to the ground and then panning up to show her blood on the wall (Purple blood in both) – left in.
4. The scene showing Helen's corpse where Tarukane says “Rip 'em in half and then he says he's sorry! Boy, you have got to be my bodyguard! Top pay!” and the younger Toguro saying, “I'll think about it” – CUT.
5. Tarukane's “Sakashta, get your ass to the telephone” changed to “Sakashta, get your rear to the telephone”
6. Scene where the younger Toguro lights up a cigarette and says “Cheating your friends isn't exactly honorable” – CUT.
7. Scene where Tarukane says “Hey, when you're rotten like me there's only one thing you can do! Spread your stink!” – CUT.
8. NOT AN EDIT – The scene where Yusuke punches a hole through a spider demon and then showing the demons final moments (including showing bloody wound) – left in.

11. Scene where Kuwabara stabs one demon in the stomach and then cuts another in half – CUT.
12. NOT AN EDIT – Black Black club member says “Sounds like a friggin' war zone!” left in
In this episode the sensors at Cartoon Network had something other than foul language to worry about. But they showed a wee bit of inconsistency. First they cut the scene of Toguro punching the beast Helen in half, along with the subsequent scenes that show her corpse. But then they show the scene where Yusuke punches a hole clean through a Spider Demon, and not only show it's corpse after but also they show it expiring also. Then you have the scene where Sakyo is explaining his bet. Admittedly he is only repeating what Toguro said in the flashback a minute before. But it ties in with Tarukane's question after about where he got his information. I have to admit that I'm getting a little concerned about the number of edits, we're not even a quarter of the way through. What will the Dark Tournament Saga be like? Only time will tell.
24. The Deadly Triad
1) Yusuke's “But let me check first to make sure!” changed to “Well, I'll have to take you up on that!” before the first exchange in the fight with Miyuki.

22) Yusuke's “Well- uh- I really couldn't help but notice.” As he's making grabbing motions – CUT.

25) Kuwabara's “So fighting girls actually does bother you, but you gave her a check-up instead of attacking her. You're kind of weird person, aren't you?” – CUT.
26) Miyuki's “You think I'm a freak, don't you? That's why you're attacking so violently. What? You're afraid I'll rub off on you. Why can't you treat me as an equal!” changed to “All my life, you men have always treat me like I'm about to break! So why shouldn't I use it against you!”

29) Kuwabara's “You positive about this Urameshi? She looks so-I mean he looks so-uh—pretty. I mean are you sure that she's a... ” changed to “So how do you know she's not faking now? You know-I mean she's a pretty good actor and all. She could be faking.”
30) Scene where Kuwabara tries to see if Miyuki is really a man an then Boton clubs him in the head with her ore – CUT.
31) Scene where Yusuke and Kuwabara turn their head just before noticing the camera – CUT. (It hides the lump on the back of Kuwabara's head)
32) Scene where our hero's are running down a hallway – CUT.
33) Kuwabara's “I've been thinkin' about what you did back there, Urameshi. You know, I mean the way you checked to see if Miyuki was a boy. What would you have done if it'd actually been a girl you were touching?” – CUT.

45) The shot of Sakyou, after Tarukane is wondering if he knows inside information, replaced with a close-up of Sakyou (Another Cigarette edit)
46) In preview – blood spray removed after the younger Toguro Brother hits Kuwabara.
*Beats Head Against Wall* OUCH! What a workout my fingers are getting because of this episode. Looking back, it would probably have been easier to list what wasn't edited. Forty edits before the commercial break.
I thought many of the edits where just covering Yusuke's grope of Miyuki, that was only part of the case. It appears that Toonami has a problem with Miyuki being a sh-male. They tried to cover it up the best way they could. Even to the extent of re-scripting almost half of the episode. Or just removing the related material all together. It's hard to believe that there was enough left that could be stitched together.
