47. Legendary Bandit: Yoko Kurama

2. In Flashback - Shot of Gouki giving Kurama the finger – CUT.
3. In the shot of Koenma threatening Blue Ogre with a knife and giving him the finger, one hand has been removed (the one giving Ogre the finger of course, we all know that threatening someone with a knife is much more acceptable... )
4. In the shot of Shishiwakamaru's sword piercing Uraurashima neck, the sword has been blurred out significantly and the blood has been removed.
5. Close-up shot of Uraurashima's face with blood gushing out of his nose – CUT (this is just before his skin melts off showing his true form).
6. Yoko Kurama's “Always the easiest of pawns.” As he's standing in front of Uraurashima's with Shishi's sword sticking out of him – CUT.
7. NOT AN EDIT – Profile shot of Yoko Kurama, with Uraurashima's body visible complete with Shishi's sword sticking out of him.

9. Koto's “Shishiwakamaru's sword is there too— stabbed into a beast!” panning down the sword, ending at Uraurashima's body. – CUT.
10. Re-organization of shots – 1) Close-up of Uraurashima's body as Shishi pulls his blade out of him 2) Shot of Shishi and Kurama, as Shishi Sheathes his sword... CHANGED TO 1) Shot of Shishi and Kurama, as Shishi Sheathes his sword 2) then a close-up still of Uraurashima's body minus Shishi's sword and the pool of blood under his head.
11. Shishi's “These primitives! Never reliable! But... We did neglect to tell him about the danger of that item with your unusual case... ” – CUT.
12. Genkai's thinking “All these years to find the right student... What the hell have I done?” changed to “All these years to find the right student... What the heck have I done?” thinking that she tested Yusuke to soon
13. Koto's “Shishi's definitely brought a cheer section with him. Oh— I think we've lost some tops!” changed to “Shishi's definitely brought a cheer section with him. You can cut these hormones with a knife.”
14. Hiei's “Janken? And what the hell is that?” changed to “Janken? And what in the world is that?”
15. NOT AN EDIT – Kuwabara's “Never played before and he's already cocky!” left in
16. Yusuke's “You can't even move an inch without feeling a freaking electro-shock... ” changed to “You can't even move an inch without feeling a dumb electro-shock”
17. Yusuke's “Face it, Yusuke. You screwed it up.” changed to “Face it, Yusuke. You botched it up.”
18. Yusuke's “If it just... If it just wasn't so damn hot in here” changed to “If it just... If it just wasn't so darn hot in here”
19. Yusuke's “What a stupid little bastard.” changed to “What a stupid little guy.” Talking about Puu and his attempts to help Yusuke
20. As Yusuke gets up to try and save Puu, Shot of blood squirting out of his legs – CUT.
21. Close-up shot of Yusuke's face as he reacts to a new bout of pain – CUT.
22. Panning shot up Yusuke's body, as blood squirts out of various body parts – CUT.
23. Shot of Yusuke running toward Puu, blood streaming from his body – CUT.
24. Yusuke's “Screw this test! I'm getting us out of here!” changed to “Forget this test! I'm getting us out of here!”
25. ENDING TITLES - Second ED replaced with the first ED.
And thus ends Yusuke's final test (other than a short recap in the next episode of course).
48. The Cape of No Return
1. In Recap – Close-up shot of Uraurashima as his skin melts away (revealing his true form) replaced with a shot over Kurama's shoulder showing Uraurashima falling backwards trying to get away.
2. In Flashback - Yusuke's “Screw this test! I'm getting us out of here!” changed to “Forget this test! I'm getting us out of here!”
3. Female Fan's “Give me your pants Shishi!” changed to “Give me your belt Shishi!”
4. Female Fan's “Hurt one hair on his pretty head and we'll kick your butt!” changed to “Hurt one hair on his pretty head and we'll kick your rear!” to Kuwabara.
5. As Shizuru asks Boton where the new stadium is, Shizuru's cigarette is removed.
6. After Shizuru beats up Kuwabara for losing another fight, the blood on his face has been removed.
7. Hiei's “Just who the hell are you?” changed to “Just who the heck are you?” to the Masked Fighter.
8. Panning shot of the crowd (done in reds & black) replaced with another panning shot of the crowd (in normal colors) – this is happening after Shishi calls for team Urameshi to be disqualified for replacing fighters
9. Should I mention that Shizuru's cigarette is removed again (after Boton almost tells everyone that Hiei is Yukina's brother)
10. ENDING TITLES - Second ED replaced with the first ED.
If there was a bad side to doing this edit list it has to be watching Kuwabara make a fool out of himself trying to impress Yukina. I know it's there to provide comic relief; but it's a tad over the top for my tastes.
