Blood, blood, and more blood. With all the blood edits, I truly was expecting a lot more than 41 listings. But considering that Yusuke's final test will last at least 3 more episodes, we will be having a lot more blood edits, guaranteed.

Boton.” changed to “Then we'll unfortunately miss a few more pulse-pounding seconds of people cramming their fist into one another, and then I might just have to stick my head in an oven.” (Hmm...

16. The mist of blood removed as Uraurashima's lands an attack on Kurama

17. Uraurashima's “How did you put up with this goody-two-shoes crap.” Changed to “How did you put up with this goody-two-shoes act.”

18. In Preview – “What did you ever do? Sit on your butt and turn the television on?” changed to “What did you ever do? Sit on your keaster and turn the television on?”

19. ENDING TITLES - Second ED replaced with the first ED.



Help me, my spell checker doesn't have keaster on it. Sorry, I couldn't resist. But in all seriousness, I was expecting a whole lot more edits in this episode. Again, it does help that the source of most of the edits hardly had any screen time.
s in 2 shots.
