The Saint Beasts arc explodes into its climax as Yusuke finally comes face to face with Suzaku, the last and most dangerous of the four.

This week on Toonami Absolution, Alyx, Jon, and Sam cover Yu Yu Hakusho Episodes 19 and 20: "Suzaku, Leader of the Beasts" and "Seven Ways to Die."

In Episode 19, Yusuke reaches Suzaku's tower while Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei hold off an endless wave of zombie-like Cultivated Humans below. But Suzaku's plan is already in motion as Botan and Keiko are forced to fight off a horde of zombies who will stop at nothing to get their hands on Keiko.

Then Episode 20 reveals exactly why Suzaku is the leader of the Saint Beasts: the man can split himself into seven separate beings, forcing Yusuke to fight a whole horde of powerful monsters with zero backup.
