Ep. 56: Kurasu destroys Yoko Kurama's mask, forcing a human reversion before a final counterattack.
Aired on November 13, 1993
Kurasu removes Yoko Kurama's mask, unleashing a massive explosion that seemingly kills him. Although Yoko survives, the fruit of his previous life reaches its time limit, causing him to revert to his human form and giving Karasu the advantage. Capitalizing on this shift, Kurama exploits Karasu's overconfidence. He executes a desperate final attack to secure victory, turning the tide of the battle despite the initial disadvantage caused by his forced transformation. This decisive move allows him to overcome the opponent who had gained the upper hand through the destruction of his magical inhibition.
