Ep. 55: Karasu's bombs overwhelm Kurama until he transforms into Yoko Kurama using the fruit from Suzuki.
Aired on November 6, 1993

Karasu's explosive powers initially dominate Kurama's plant techniques, creating a dire situation for the latter. However, the tide turns when Kurama consumes the fruit of his previous life, a gift provided by Suzuki prior to the battle. This ingestion triggers a transformation into Yoko Kurama, granting him enhanced abilities. As Yoko Kurama, he utilizes powerful demon plants that prove superior to Karasu's attacks. The overwhelming strength of these new plant-based powers allows Yoko Kurama to gain the upper hand, effectively countering Karasu's initial advantage and shifting the momentum of the confrontation in his favor.
