----
* OpposingSportsTeam: Most of the Teams that the heroes go up against are not motivated by evil desires and for the most part participate for the [[BloodKnight joy of fighting]] and the right to get a wish granted by the Dark Tournament Committee. The few genuinely evil people they go against, aside from Toguro's team, are Dr. Ichigaki (read his entry [[Monster/YuYuHakusho here]] for details) and possibly, if not evil then certainly amoral jerkasses, Roto and Bakken.
* TheTeamBenefactor: Each team is sponsored by a member of the Black Book Club with the exception of Team Urameshi which is sponsored by Koenma. However, two teams, those being Team Ichigaki and Team Uraotogi, are self-sponsored.

-> Roto voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (JP), Creator/SeanSchemmel (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Zeru voiced by: Creator/MitsuakiMadono (JP), Creator/JeremyLoris (EN), ??? (Spain)
The first team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
For tropes about Chu and Rinku specifically, see their entries under the Allies section above
----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Roto can form a blade on his hand from one of his fingers.
* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: In-universe non-video game example. Roto's only strategy to winning involves threatening to kill an opponent's loved one if they retaliate.
-->'''Roto''': "Why go through all the hard work of becoming a better fighter when all you have to do is to press a button?"
* DirtyCoward: Roto who stoops as low as to try to try to have relatives of opponents killed via a Familiar. Though at least he did make an effort in contrast to Gaou and Imajin who fled the moment Hiei incinerated Zeru.
* DragonInChief: Zeru acted as the leader of the team in Chu's stead due to the latter's habitual drunkenness.
* HostageSituation: Roto tries doing this to Kurama by using his human mother as the hostage during their fight in the Dark Tournament. It doesn't work for long.
* IHaveYourWife: Mother in this case. Kurama is forced to not retaliate against Roto lest Roto order the demon stalking his mother to kill her. Kurama manages to immobilize Roto, steal the trigger to signal the demon, then kill him.
* OffWithHisHead: [[PapaWolf Chu]], angry at Gaou and Imajin's cowardice in abandoning Rinku to fight Team Urameshi all on his own, took off their heads in one swift attack. The anime alters their death at Chu's hands as being beaten to death.
* PlayingWithFire: Zeru's special ability, but it doesn't exactly hold a candle to Hiei's Dragon of the Darkness Flame.
* PunnyName: In addition to being a reference to a song (see Shout out below), Imajin's name is a play on the word "Majin" (meaning either "Demon" or "Evil person" depending on context).
* RagTagBunchOfMisfits: Consisting of among other people a [[ImprobableWeaponUser yo-yo wielding]] [[KidHero Child fighter]], a DrunkenMaster, a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation Blue-skinned]] murderer and extortionist, and a blond fire wielder (and also an [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward Cullen]] fanboy [[HilariousInHindsight before he even existed]]).
* ScaryBlackMan: Gaou looks like one.
* ShoutOut: Imajin has a strong resemblance to Musician Music/JohnLennon and his name is an allusion to his song "Music/{{Imagine}}".
* TheUnfought: Gaou and Imajin never fought against Team Urameshi and were swiftly killed by Chu when they cowardly fled to leave the still recovering Rinku to fight against the opposing team all by himself.
* VillainsWantMercy: Roto certainly wanted mercy, but Kurama wasn't going to let him go [[KarmaHoudini unpunished]].

[[folder:Team Spirit Warriors]]
-> Topaz voiced by: Creator/MinoruInaba (JP), Creator/BriceArmstrong (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Rugby voiced by: Creator/NobuakiFukuda (JP), Creator/BobCarter (EN), ??? (Spain)
A team that Younger Toguro fights and slaughters single handedly.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: Topaz gets more screen time and characterization in the anime.
* BaldOfAwesome: Topaz. He may also qualify as an [[InvokedTrope invocation]] of BaldBlackLeaderGuy.
* CanonForeigner: Rugby, an alternate for the team, is a character that was created for the anime.
* TheCaptain: Topaz is the leader of the Spirit Warriors.
* IntriguedByHumanity: Rugby states this and more specifically says he has a liking of Human sports, particularly Rugby.
* LargeAndInCharge: Each of Spirit Warriors' members dwarf Younger Toguro, who himself isn't small in stature. Though that [[CurbStompBattle ultimately doesn't help them]] [[KilledOffForReal in the end]]. [[CanonForeigner Rugby]] however averts this being of about the size of an average Human.
* NobleDemon: Topaz objects to Rugby's attempt to kill Yusuke outside of the ring and for that kills him.
* RedShirt: The entire team is this, though Topaz at least gets upgraded to MauveShirt in the anime.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Topaz wears a collar with spikes on it.
* StoutStrength: Dosukoi by default of being a sumo wrestler.
* WeaponOfChoice: Topaz's is [[AnAxeToGrind an ax]], Gorira is armed with a [[DropTheHammer hammer]], Babaki uses a [[ProngsOfPoseidon trident]], and Gagaki wields a [[CarryABigStick mace]]. Dosukoi is the only member who doesn't use a weapon. [[CanonForeigner Anime-only character]] Rugby can create rugby balls.

Kai voiced by Creator/HidetoshiNakamura (JP), Creator/KyleHebert (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Ryo voiced by Creator/DaikiNakamura (JP), Creator/MikeMcFarland (EN), ??? (Spain)
The second team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
----
* BlindingBangs: Yen (AKA M1).
* BraidsOfAction: Kai (AKA M2), a male example of this trope, wears his hair in a Mandarin Queue.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: What Dr. Ichigaki has done to three humans, via implanting berukis onto them, to use them as test subjects [[DealWithTheDevil in exchange for healing their ill master]] [[ParentalSubstitute Mitamura]] [[spoiler: of which he was responsible for poisoning in the first place to force his students into accepting his deal]].
* TheCameo: Yen, Kai, and Ryo (formerly M1, M2, and M3 respectively) are briefly shown [[spoiler: in the bleachers watching the Final round of the Dark Tournament]].
* {{Cyborg}}: Gatasubal, a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg demon]] to be more exact.
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: Ichigaki]] is strongly implied to have been killed in the anime, but the manga shows that he was still alive and witnessed the fight between Yusuke and Toguro. Inverted in the case of M5 who was killed in the Manga by Hiei and Kurama but is spared in the anime after getting them to the ring.
* EvilRedhead: Yen (M1). Subverted in that he is not inclined to evil but has been [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mentally enslaved]] by Ichigaki.
* HumansAreSpecial: Ichigaki is one of the few Demons to recognize the potential of Human Spirit power rather than belittling Humans as being inferior. However he fails to realize the [[RousseauWasRight potential of emotions]], and firmly believes that VirtueIsWeakness.
* LizardFolk: Minor characters M4 and M5 are reptilian humanoids.
* MadScientist: Dr. Ichigaki. We're not sure what university he got his [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate doctorate]] from, but where ever he went really [[Series/TheBigBangTheory should do a better job of screening those people out]].
* MercyKill: What Yen, Kai, and Ryo, upon being able to temporarily break though the control of their berukis, ask Yusuke to do to end their suffering, which he obliges. [[spoiler: However it is subverted when Genkai intervenes and uses the Spirit Wave technique's Mortality Guided Attack function to destroy the Berukis without killing the fighters themselves.]]
* MindControlDevice: The function of the Berukis.
* MustMakeAmends: [[spoiler: The three martial artist have stated that they wish to make up for having killed people while under Ichigaki's control. Ryo in particular offered to fight for Team Urameshi as his way to atone for his past actions]].
* OneWingedAngel: Upon M1, M2, and M3's defeat, Ichigaki injects himself with a serum to take out retaliation against Yusuke. Instead, [[ClippedWingAngel the doctor gets his ass handed to him]].
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Upon being freed of Ichigaki's control, they return to train with their master and [[ParentalSubstitute adoptive father]] Mitamura. Aside from a cameo of them cheering Team Urameshi in the final round of the Dark Tournament, this is their last appearance in the story]].
* ShoutOut: Kai (M2) was modeled on [[Videogame/VirtuaFighter Lau Chan]]. Likely doubles as an ActorAllusion to Creator/ShigeruChiba who voices both the aforementioned Virtua Fighter character and Kuwabara.
* SlasherSmile: Ichigaki shows sadistic glee in seeing others suffer.
* SympatheticSentientWeapon: Yen, Kai, and Ryo wouldn't under usual circumstances accepted being turned into killing machines, except in the hope that Ichigaki would uphold his end of the bargain to heal their master. Kuwabara via a psychic link could tell that they were suffering being ForcedToWatch as their bodies were used by Ichigaki to kill other people against their wills and at one point they stopped fighting long enough to ask for Yusuke [[MercyKill to kill them]].
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler: Inverted in that it is the previously antagonistic Yen, Kai, and Ryo who call themselves out. However Master Mitamura quickly tells them that they shouldn't blame themselves for being [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Mentally Enslaved]] by Ichigaki.]] Though this is certainly played straight against [[HateSink Ichigaki]].
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Ryo (AKA M3) and thus has his Beruki in open sight in contrast to his teammates who wear shirts over theirs.
* WeHaveReserves: Ichigaki says this about M1, M2, and M3, [[spoiler: considering that his real target is using Yusuke as a subject for his experiments]]. He doesn't care whether they will survive and that even if they were to win the Dark Tournament that he would simply [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill them himself anyway]].

[[folder:Team Masho]]
-> Gama voiced by: Creator/KazuyukiSogabe (JP), Creator/ChristopherSabat (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Bakken voiced by: Creator/HajimeKoseki (JP), Creator/AndrewChandler (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Risho voiced by: Creator/ArunoTahara (JP), Creator/MikeMcFarland (EN), ??? (Spain)
The third team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
For tropes about Jin and Touya specifically, see their entries under the Allies section above.
----
* AntiVillain: The Shadow Channelers only wish to compete in the Tournament to, in Touya's words, "step into the light" to make a new home in the Human world. They qualify as [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type IIs]] in that they regard themselves as TrueCompanions. Completely averted in [[HateSink Bakken's]] case, though.
* AvengingTheVillain: Not any of Team Masho's members' objective, but their [[TheTeamBenefactor sponsor]], Butajiri, wants to get back at Tarukane's killers. Subverted in that he didn't give two craps about [[AssholeVictim Tarukane]], but Butajiri is a pompous Plutocrat who is pissed off at the audacity of a bunch of [[WorkingClassHero downtrodden]] Delinquents taking out a fellow CorruptCorporateExecutive and now wanting to "put them in their place". Though Sakyo corrects him that he was the one who ordered Toguro [[KickTheSonOfABitch to kill Tarukane]] [[spoiler: just before Toguro gave him a well deserved death as well]].
* BloodyMurder: Gama's enchanted body paint is made from his own blood.
* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Risho.
* DishingOutDirt: Risho can create a [[InstantArmor suit of armor]] by coating his body with clay from the ground.
* TheDragon: Jin serves as this for Risho.
* DumbMuscle: Bakken as demonstrated by his lack of skill and strategy in contrast to his other teammates. His lack of brains would especially bite him in the ass when Yusuke dispelled his sweat fog.
* ElementalPowers: Gama's is [[BloodyMurder blood based]], Touya is AnIcePerson, Jin's is [[BlowYouAway wind based]], and Risho's is [[DishingOutDirt Earth based]]. Bakken seems to have no particular elemental power.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Again, Risho. Makes for a pretty creepy look, overall.
* EvilAlbino: Gama, though antagonistic albino would be a better description for him.
* HeelFaceTurn : Touya and Jin do this after the team's defeat.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble : Jin is sanguine-phlegmatic, Risho is choleric, Touya is melancholic.
* HeroicSacrifice: Gama may not exactly fit the definition of heroic, but he nonetheless sought to use his dying breath to place a concealment spell on Kurama to help his team achieve victory.
* HonorBeforeReason: Toyed with. While Touya [[EvenEvilHasStandards keeps to his principles]] demanding that Risho fight honorably in the face of blatant bribery and rigging of the match in their team's favor, the latter subverts this by choosing to be pragmatic and accept the ruling so that they can get closer to their goal of winning a new home in the Human world.
* {{Jerkass}}: Bakken is an unrepentant thug who is willing to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown beat down people who can't defend themselves]] and happily gloat about it. His personality is so grating that even his own teammates regard him as the TheScrappy in-universe. Thankfully, [[HateSink Bakken]] gets [[CurbStompBattle what he deserves]] from Yusuke.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Bakken does this to an unconscious Kurama. Once in the ring himself, Yusuke returns the favor and beats on Bakken for a bit after clearly winning.
* LeanAndMean: Both Gama and Risho to varying degrees.
* NobleDemon: A standout example in the Dark Tournament arc. Team Masho are the only team besides the heroes [[VillainousFriendship who seem to care to an extent about each other as a whole]] (as apposed to individual friendships like Chu and Rinku) - [[TheFriendNobodyLikes with the exception of Bakken]]. They are willing to fight and sacrifice themselves for the sake of their comrades, are dedicated to a cause rather than BloodKnight tendencies, [[AffablyEvil are generally respectful and are all in all more honorable than most]] - though Risho ultimately proves himself willing to drop honor like a rock if it means achieving his goals.
* {{Ninja}}: Or the "Shinobi of Spirit World" to be more exact.
* RealMenWearPink: Gama is referred to as being a "Master of Make-up," though he detests the associations that humans have made with his art.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Bakken. He undeservingly demands to be addressed as "Bakken-sama" (Lord Bakken) even though he is the last ranking member of his team.
* SmokeOut: Bakken can create a smoke screen with the vapor of his sweat.
* SmugSnake: Risho.
* {{Stripperific}}: Gama and Bakken wear little else than loin clothes and sandals. Justified as their abilities require their skin to be exposed in order to perform their techniques.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: In-universe example. This is the reason Bakken's Wounded gazelle gambit failed miserably.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Bakken attempts to pull this on Yusuke once the latter gets the upper hand. Bakken pleads for mercy claiming that his ribs are broken and that he can't remember about the beating he gave to Kurama minutes earlier, in which he then tries to smash Yusuke's head with some debris. Yusuke never lowered his guard based on how inauthentic his pleas were and decided to "[[PayEvilUntoEvil help remind]]" Bakken what he did to Kurama.
* VillainousValor: After being critically injured, rather than use what little energy he had left to heal himself and save his own life Gama is willing to bleed to death to weaken Kurama, assured that his death will mean the eventual defeat of his enemy. It doesn't, of course, but you have to respect his dedication.

Kuro Momotaro voiced by: Creator/ShinAomori (JP), Creator/JustinCook (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Ura Urashima voiced by: Creator/IsseiFutamata (JP), Creator/VicMignogna (EN), ??? (Spain)
The fourth team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
For tropes about Shishiwakamaru and [[InsistentTerminology The Beautiful]]... [[DontExplainTheJoke Onji]], see their entries under the Allies section above.
----
* AdaptiveAbility: Kuro Momotaro uses Steaming Spheres to gain an immunity to whatever attack was last used against him.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Makintaro's only shown ability was being able to turn his hands into blades.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Kuro Momotaro is, or at the very least a complete jerkass.
* TheDragon: While Shishiwakamaru appears to be the team's captain, he is revealed to simply be the [[TheHeavy Frontman]] for [[spoiler: Suzuki]].
* FracturedFairyTale: Its members are based on heroes from Japanese Fairy tales and folklore. Makintaro is based on Kintaro, Kuro Momotaro is based on Momotaro, Ura Urashima is based on Urashima Taro, and Shishiwakamaru is inspired by Oniwakamaru. Onji is the notable exception as he wishes, to paraphrase him, to make his own story. In an interesting coincidence Onji/[[spoiler: Suzuki's]] name in the Funimation English dub, "Suzuka", is similiar to that of the Mythological Suzuka Gongen. In addition, the team's name almost literally translates into English as "Team Fractured Fairy Tales".
* FullBodyDisguise: Two of its members are disguised. Ura Urashima is revealed to be a hairy canine-like humanoid shortly after he is killed by [[spoiler: Shishiwakamaru]] and Onji is actually [[spoiler: [[VillainousHarlequin Suzu]]-ahem! The Beautiful Suzuki]].
* KickTheDog: Kuro Momotaro does this. The moment he enters the ring to fight against Hiei, instead of kindly moving the body of his fallen comrade who died in the prior fight or at least offering any respects, Kuro Momotaro just coldly kicked his corpse and made a snide remark immediately after.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Makintaro, Kuro Momotaro, and Ura Urashima]]. Subverted in the case of Shishiwakamaru who [[WordOfGod Togashi]] [[WhatCouldHaveBeen intended to have been killed off]] at the conclusion of his battle against [[spoiler: Genkai]], but with the [[PostScriptSeason additional Three Kings saga]] his death was retconed as him being knocked unconscious.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: Onji/Suzuki]] is the true leader for Team Uraotogi.
* ManipulativeBastard: Ura Urashima claims that he was forced into villainy on the pain of his mother being killed during his fight against Kurama in order to get him to lower his guard to use his Idunn Box on him.
* MerlinSickness: What Ura Urashima's Idunn Box inflicts on its targets [[spoiler: and unwittingly brought about his defeat and near death when Kurama reverted to Yoko Kurama]].
* RagTagBunchOfMisfits: Who are empowered thanks to the weapons and equipment made for them by Onji.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Four of its members (See Fractured Fairy Tale above) claim to be the reincarnations of famous individuals as Demons.
* {{Telepathy}}: One of Ura Urashima's abilities.

----
* TheBigGuy: Kirenjya fulfills this role and is also armed with a {{BFS}} that is larger than any weapons his other teammates had.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Naturally given who Team Gorenja is inspired by. The colors that represent them are red (Akarenjya), blue (Aorenjya), pink (Momorenjya), yellow (Kirenjya), and green (Midorenjya).
* DefiantToTheEnd: Akarenjya; even after the all but he and Aorenjya had been killed and they were heavily injured by Team Toguro, Akarenjya refused to give up nor beg for his life as Aorenjya did.
* DirtyCoward: Midorenjya and Aorenjya both demonstrated this and for this were killed by Karasu and Elder Toguro respectively.
* FemmeFatalons: Momorenjya has the practical WolverineClaws variety.
* HollywoodAcid: Midorenjya was shown to have acid based powers.
* RedOniBlueOni: Akarenjya and Momorenjya seem to have this dynamic. When Elder Toguro taunts Team Gorenja about the ways he plans to torture and kill them, as Akarenjya is about lash out Momorenjya warns him not to let his anger get the best of him.
* RedShirt: Everyone on the team is this, more or less to show how Badass the other members of Team Toguro are. Though somewhat ironically the red clad Akarenjya was the last of his team to be killed.
* ShoutOut: They are based on the heroes from Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger, the first of the Franchise/SuperSentai series.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Momorenjya is the lone female member of the team and for that matter one of only two known females (the other being Genkai) to participate in the Dark tournament.
* SuperSpeed: Akarenjya, Aorenjya, and Momorenjya have this as their main ability. One tactic they were shown to employ was creating SpeedEchoes in an effort to confuse opponents into attacking an afterimage while they got in close for an attack. Though Elder Toguro countered this by creating several tendrils that shot out from his body that pierced them from any direction they could attack from.

[[folder:In General]]
For details about Team Urameshi and Team Toguro, look under Team Urameshi and Main Villains respectively
----
* OpposingSportsTeam: Most of the Teams that the heroes go up against are not motivated by evil desires and for the most part participate for the [[BloodKnight joy of fighting]] and the right to get a wish granted by the Dark Tournament Committee. The few genuinely evil people they go against, aside from Toguro's team, are Dr. Ichigaki (read his entry [[Monster/YuYuHakusho here]] for details) and possibly, if not evil then certainly amoral jerkasses, Roto and Bakken.
* TheTeamBenefactor: Each team is sponsored by a member of the Black Book Club with the exception of Team Urameshi which is sponsored by Koenma. However, two teams, those being Team Ichigaki and Team Uraotogi, are self-sponsored.

[[folder:Team Jolly Devil Six]]
-> Roto voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (JP), Creator/SeanSchemmel (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Zeru voiced by: Creator/MitsuakiMadono (JP), Creator/JeremyLoris (EN), ??? (Spain)
The first team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
For tropes about Chu and Rinku specifically, see their entries under the Allies section above
----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Roto can form a blade on his hand from one of his fingers.
* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: In-universe non-video game example. Roto's only strategy to winning involves threatening to kill an opponent's loved one if they retaliate.
-->'''Roto''': "Why go through all the hard work of becoming a better fighter when all you have to do is to press a button?"
* DirtyCoward: Roto who stoops as low as to try to try to have relatives of opponents killed via a Familiar. Though at least he did make an effort in contrast to Gaou and Imajin who fled the moment Hiei incinerated Zeru.
* DragonInChief: Zeru acted as the leader of the team in Chu's stead due to the latter's habitual drunkenness.
* HostageSituation: Roto tries doing this to Kurama by using his human mother as the hostage during their fight in the Dark Tournament. It doesn't work for long.
* IHaveYourWife: Mother in this case. Kurama is forced to not retaliate against Roto lest Roto order the demon stalking his mother to kill her. Kurama manages to immobilize Roto, steal the trigger to signal the demon, then kill him.
* OffWithHisHead: [[PapaWolf Chu]], angry at Gaou and Imajin's cowardice in abandoning Rinku to fight Team Urameshi all on his own, took off their heads in one swift attack. The anime alters their death at Chu's hands as being beaten to death.
* PlayingWithFire: Zeru's special ability, but it doesn't exactly hold a candle to Hiei's Dragon of the Darkness Flame.
* PunnyName: In addition to being a reference to a song (see Shout out below), Imajin's name is a play on the word "Majin" (meaning either "Demon" or "Evil person" depending on context).
* RagTagBunchOfMisfits: Consisting of among other people a [[ImprobableWeaponUser yo-yo wielding]] [[KidHero Child fighter]], a DrunkenMaster, a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation Blue-skinned]] murderer and extortionist, and a blond fire wielder (and also an [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward Cullen]] fanboy [[HilariousInHindsight before he even existed]]).
* ScaryBlackMan: Gaou looks like one.
* ShoutOut: Imajin has a strong resemblance to Musician Music/JohnLennon and his name is an allusion to his song "Music/{{Imagine}}".
* TheUnfought: Gaou and Imajin never fought against Team Urameshi and were swiftly killed by Chu when they cowardly fled to leave the still recovering Rinku to fight against the opposing team all by himself.
* VillainsWantMercy: Roto certainly wanted mercy, but Kurama wasn't going to let him go [[KarmaHoudini unpunished]].

[[folder:Team Spirit Warriors]]
-> Topaz voiced by: Creator/MinoruInaba (JP), Creator/BriceArmstrong (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Rugby voiced by: Creator/NobuakiFukuda (JP), Creator/BobCarter (EN), ??? (Spain)
A team that Younger Toguro fights and slaughters single handedly.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: Topaz gets more screen time and characterization in the anime.
* BaldOfAwesome: Topaz. He may also qualify as an [[InvokedTrope invocation]] of BaldBlackLeaderGuy.
* CanonForeigner: Rugby, an alternate for the team, is a character that was created for the anime.
* TheCaptain: Topaz is the leader of the Spirit Warriors.
* IntriguedByHumanity: Rugby states this and more specifically says he has a liking of Human sports, particularly Rugby.
* LargeAndInCharge: Each of Spirit Warriors' members dwarf Younger Toguro, who himself isn't small in stature. Though that [[CurbStompBattle ultimately doesn't help them]] [[KilledOffForReal in the end]]. [[CanonForeigner Rugby]] however averts this being of about the size of an average Human.
* NobleDemon: Topaz objects to Rugby's attempt to kill Yusuke outside of the ring and for that kills him.
* RedShirt: The entire team is this, though Topaz at least gets upgraded to MauveShirt in the anime.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Topaz wears a collar with spikes on it.
* StoutStrength: Dosukoi by default of being a sumo wrestler.
* WeaponOfChoice: Topaz's is [[AnAxeToGrind an ax]], Gorira is armed with a [[DropTheHammer hammer]], Babaki uses a [[ProngsOfPoseidon trident]], and Gagaki wields a [[CarryABigStick mace]]. Dosukoi is the only member who doesn't use a weapon. [[CanonForeigner Anime-only character]] Rugby can create rugby balls.

[[folder:Team Ichigaki]]
-> Dr. Ichigaki voiced by: Creator/RyuujiSaikachi (JP), Creator/JamesFields (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Yen voiced by: Creator/YoshikoKamei (JP), Creator/ChrisCason (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Kai voiced by Creator/HidetoshiNakamura (JP), Creator/KyleHebert (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Ryo voiced by Creator/DaikiNakamura (JP), Creator/MikeMcFarland (EN), ??? (Spain)
The second team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
----
* BlindingBangs: Yen (AKA M1).
* BraidsOfAction: Kai (AKA M2), a male example of this trope, wears his hair in a Mandarin Queue.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: What Dr. Ichigaki has done to three humans, via implanting berukis onto them, to use them as test subjects [[DealWithTheDevil in exchange for healing their ill master]] [[ParentalSubstitute Mitamura]] [[spoiler: of which he was responsible for poisoning in the first place to force his students into accepting his deal]].
* TheCameo: Yen, Kai, and Ryo (formerly M1, M2, and M3 respectively) are briefly shown [[spoiler: in the bleachers watching the Final round of the Dark Tournament]].
* {{Cyborg}}: Gatasubal, a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg demon]] to be more exact.
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: Ichigaki]] is strongly implied to have been killed in the anime, but the manga shows that he was still alive and witnessed the fight between Yusuke and Toguro. Inverted in the case of M5 who was killed in the Manga by Hiei and Kurama but is spared in the anime after getting them to the ring.
* EvilRedhead: Yen (M1). Subverted in that he is not inclined to evil but has been [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mentally enslaved]] by Ichigaki.
* HumansAreSpecial: Ichigaki is one of the few Demons to recognize the potential of Human Spirit power rather than belittling Humans as being inferior. However he fails to realize the [[RousseauWasRight potential of emotions]], and firmly believes that VirtueIsWeakness.
* LizardFolk: Minor characters M4 and M5 are reptilian humanoids.
* MadScientist: Dr. Ichigaki. We're not sure what university he got his [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate doctorate]] from, but where ever he went really [[Series/TheBigBangTheory should do a better job of screening those people out]].
* MercyKill: What Yen, Kai, and Ryo, upon being able to temporarily break though the control of their berukis, ask Yusuke to do to end their suffering, which he obliges. [[spoiler: However it is subverted when Genkai intervenes and uses the Spirit Wave technique's Mortality Guided Attack function to destroy the Berukis without killing the fighters themselves.]]
* MindControlDevice: The function of the Berukis.
* MustMakeAmends: [[spoiler: The three martial artist have stated that they wish to make up for having killed people while under Ichigaki's control. Ryo in particular offered to fight for Team Urameshi as his way to atone for his past actions]].
* OneWingedAngel: Upon M1, M2, and M3's defeat, Ichigaki injects himself with a serum to take out retaliation against Yusuke. Instead, [[ClippedWingAngel the doctor gets his ass handed to him]].
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Upon being freed of Ichigaki's control, they return to train with their master and [[ParentalSubstitute adoptive father]] Mitamura. Aside from a cameo of them cheering Team Urameshi in the final round of the Dark Tournament, this is their last appearance in the story]].
* ShoutOut: Kai (M2) was modeled on [[Videogame/VirtuaFighter Lau Chan]]. Likely doubles as an ActorAllusion to Creator/ShigeruChiba who voices both the aforementioned Virtua Fighter character and Kuwabara.
* SlasherSmile: Ichigaki shows sadistic glee in seeing others suffer.
* SympatheticSentientWeapon: Yen, Kai, and Ryo wouldn't under usual circumstances accepted being turned into killing machines, except in the hope that Ichigaki would uphold his end of the bargain to heal their master. Kuwabara via a psychic link could tell that they were suffering being ForcedToWatch as their bodies were used by Ichigaki to kill other people against their wills and at one point they stopped fighting long enough to ask for Yusuke [[MercyKill to kill them]].
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler: Inverted in that it is the previously antagonistic Yen, Kai, and Ryo who call themselves out. However Master Mitamura quickly tells them that they shouldn't blame themselves for being [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Mentally Enslaved]] by Ichigaki.]] Though this is certainly played straight against [[HateSink Ichigaki]].
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Ryo (AKA M3) and thus has his Beruki in open sight in contrast to his teammates who wear shirts over theirs.
* WeHaveReserves: Ichigaki says this about M1, M2, and M3, [[spoiler: considering that his real target is using Yusuke as a subject for his experiments]]. He doesn't care whether they will survive and that even if they were to win the Dark Tournament that he would simply [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill them himself anyway]].

[[folder:Team Masho]]
-> Gama voiced by: Creator/KazuyukiSogabe (JP), Creator/ChristopherSabat (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Bakken voiced by: Creator/HajimeKoseki (JP), Creator/AndrewChandler (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Risho voiced by: Creator/ArunoTahara (JP), Creator/MikeMcFarland (EN), ??? (Spain)
The third team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
For tropes about Jin and Touya specifically, see their entries under the Allies section above.
----
* AntiVillain: The Shadow Channelers only wish to compete in the Tournament to, in Touya's words, "step into the light" to make a new home in the Human world. They qualify as [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type IIs]] in that they regard themselves as TrueCompanions. Completely averted in [[HateSink Bakken's]] case, though.
* AvengingTheVillain: Not any of Team Masho's members' objective, but their [[TheTeamBenefactor sponsor]], Butajiri, wants to get back at Tarukane's killers. Subverted in that he didn't give two craps about [[AssholeVictim Tarukane]], but Butajiri is a pompous Plutocrat who is pissed off at the audacity of a bunch of [[WorkingClassHero downtrodden]] Delinquents taking out a fellow CorruptCorporateExecutive and now wanting to "put them in their place". Though Sakyo corrects him that he was the one who ordered Toguro [[KickTheSonOfABitch to kill Tarukane]] [[spoiler: just before Toguro gave him a well deserved death as well]].
* BloodyMurder: Gama's enchanted body paint is made from his own blood.
* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Risho.
* DishingOutDirt: Risho can create a [[InstantArmor suit of armor]] by coating his body with clay from the ground.
* TheDragon: Jin serves as this for Risho.
* DumbMuscle: Bakken as demonstrated by his lack of skill and strategy in contrast to his other teammates. His lack of brains would especially bite him in the ass when Yusuke dispelled his sweat fog.
* ElementalPowers: Gama's is [[BloodyMurder blood based]], Touya is AnIcePerson, Jin's is [[BlowYouAway wind based]], and Risho's is [[DishingOutDirt Earth based]]. Bakken seems to have no particular elemental power.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Again, Risho. Makes for a pretty creepy look, overall.
* EvilAlbino: Gama, though antagonistic albino would be a better description for him.
* HeelFaceTurn : Touya and Jin do this after the team's defeat.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble : Jin is sanguine-phlegmatic, Risho is choleric, Touya is melancholic.
* HeroicSacrifice: Gama may not exactly fit the definition of heroic, but he nonetheless sought to use his dying breath to place a concealment spell on Kurama to help his team achieve victory.
* HonorBeforeReason: Toyed with. While Touya [[EvenEvilHasStandards keeps to his principles]] demanding that Risho fight honorably in the face of blatant bribery and rigging of the match in their team's favor, the latter subverts this by choosing to be pragmatic and accept the ruling so that they can get closer to their goal of winning a new home in the Human world.
* {{Jerkass}}: Bakken is an unrepentant thug who is willing to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown beat down people who can't defend themselves]] and happily gloat about it. His personality is so grating that even his own teammates regard him as the TheScrappy in-universe. Thankfully, [[HateSink Bakken]] gets [[CurbStompBattle what he deserves]] from Yusuke.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Bakken does this to an unconscious Kurama. Once in the ring himself, Yusuke returns the favor and beats on Bakken for a bit after clearly winning.
* LeanAndMean: Both Gama and Risho to varying degrees.
* NobleDemon: A standout example in the Dark Tournament arc. Team Masho are the only team besides the heroes [[VillainousFriendship who seem to care to an extent about each other as a whole]] (as apposed to individual friendships like Chu and Rinku) - [[TheFriendNobodyLikes with the exception of Bakken]]. They are willing to fight and sacrifice themselves for the sake of their comrades, are dedicated to a cause rather than BloodKnight tendencies, [[AffablyEvil are generally respectful and are all in all more honorable than most]] - though Risho ultimately proves himself willing to drop honor like a rock if it means achieving his goals.
* {{Ninja}}: Or the "Shinobi of Spirit World" to be more exact.
* RealMenWearPink: Gama is referred to as being a "Master of Make-up," though he detests the associations that humans have made with his art.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Bakken. He undeservingly demands to be addressed as "Bakken-sama" (Lord Bakken) even though he is the last ranking member of his team.
* SmokeOut: Bakken can create a smoke screen with the vapor of his sweat.
* SmugSnake: Risho.
* {{Stripperific}}: Gama and Bakken wear little else than loin clothes and sandals. Justified as their abilities require their skin to be exposed in order to perform their techniques.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: In-universe example. This is the reason Bakken's Wounded gazelle gambit failed miserably.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Bakken attempts to pull this on Yusuke once the latter gets the upper hand. Bakken pleads for mercy claiming that his ribs are broken and that he can't remember about the beating he gave to Kurama minutes earlier, in which he then tries to smash Yusuke's head with some debris. Yusuke never lowered his guard based on how inauthentic his pleas were and decided to "[[PayEvilUntoEvil help remind]]" Bakken what he did to Kurama.
* VillainousValor: After being critically injured, rather than use what little energy he had left to heal himself and save his own life Gama is willing to bleed to death to weaken Kurama, assured that his death will mean the eventual defeat of his enemy. It doesn't, of course, but you have to respect his dedication.

[[folder:Team Uraotogi]]
-> Makintaro voiced by: Creator/HidenariUgaki (JP), Creator/ShaneRay (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Kuro Momotaro voiced by: Creator/ShinAomori (JP), Creator/JustinCook (EN), ??? (Spain)\\
Ura Urashima voiced by: Creator/IsseiFutamata (JP), Creator/VicMignogna (EN), ??? (Spain)
The fourth team of Fighters that Team Urameshi fought against in the Dark Tournament.
For tropes about Shishiwakamaru and [[InsistentTerminology The Beautiful]]... [[DontExplainTheJoke Onji]], see their entries under the Allies section above.
----
* AdaptiveAbility: Kuro Momotaro uses Steaming Spheres to gain an immunity to whatever attack was last used against him.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Makintaro's only shown ability was being able to turn his hands into blades.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Kuro Momotaro is, or at the very least a complete jerkass.
* TheDragon: While Shishiwakamaru appears to be the team's captain, he is revealed to simply be the [[TheHeavy Frontman]] for [[spoiler: Suzuki]].
* FracturedFairyTale: Its members are based on heroes from Japanese Fairy tales and folklore. Makintaro is based on Kintaro, Kuro Momotaro is based on Momotaro, Ura Urashima is based on Urashima Taro, and Shishiwakamaru is inspired by Oniwakamaru. Onji is the notable exception as he wishes, to paraphrase him, to make his own story. In an interesting coincidence Onji/[[spoiler: Suzuki's]] name in the Funimation English dub, "Suzuka", is similiar to that of the Mythological Suzuka Gongen. In addition, the team's name almost literally translates into English as "Team Fractured Fairy Tales".
* FullBodyDisguise: Two of its members are disguised. Ura Urashima is revealed to be a hairy canine-like humanoid shortly after he is killed by [[spoiler: Shishiwakamaru]] and Onji is actually [[spoiler: [[VillainousHarlequin Suzu]]-ahem! The Beautiful Suzuki]].
* KickTheDog: Kuro Momotaro does this. The moment he enters the ring to fight against Hiei, instead of kindly moving the body of his fallen comrade who died in the prior fight or at least offering any respects, Kuro Momotaro just coldly kicked his corpse and made a snide remark immediately after.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Makintaro, Kuro Momotaro, and Ura Urashima]]. Subverted in the case of Shishiwakamaru who [[WordOfGod Togashi]] [[WhatCouldHaveBeen intended to have been killed off]] at the conclusion of his battle against [[spoiler: Genkai]], but with the [[PostScriptSeason additional Three Kings saga]] his death was retconed as him being knocked unconscious.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: Onji/Suzuki]] is the true leader for Team Uraotogi.
* ManipulativeBastard: Ura Urashima claims that he was forced into villainy on the pain of his mother being killed during his fight against Kurama in order to get him to lower his guard to use his Idunn Box on him.
* MerlinSickness: What Ura Urashima's Idunn Box inflicts on its targets [[spoiler: and unwittingly brought about his defeat and near death when Kurama reverted to Yoko Kurama]].
* RagTagBunchOfMisfits: Who are empowered thanks to the weapons and equipment made for them by Onji.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Four of its members (See Fractured Fairy Tale above) claim to be the reincarnations of famous individuals as Demons.
* {{Telepathy}}: One of Ura Urashima's abilities.

Midorenjya voiced by: Creator/TakehiroKoyama (JP), Creator/EdBlaylock (EN), ??? (Spain)
A Team of Fighters who were killed in the semi-finals by Team Toguro.
----
* TheBigGuy: Kirenjya fulfills this role and is also armed with a {{BFS}} that is larger than any weapons his other teammates had.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Naturally given who Team Gorenja is inspired by. The colors that represent them are red (Akarenjya), blue (Aorenjya), pink (Momorenjya), yellow (Kirenjya), and green (Midorenjya).
* DefiantToTheEnd: Akarenjya; even after the all but he and Aorenjya had been killed and they were heavily injured by Team Toguro, Akarenjya refused to give up nor beg for his life as Aorenjya did.
* DirtyCoward: Midorenjya and Aorenjya both demonstrated this and for this were killed by Karasu and Elder Toguro respectively.
* FemmeFatalons: Momorenjya has the practical WolverineClaws variety.
* HollywoodAcid: Midorenjya was shown to have acid based powers.
* RedOniBlueOni: Akarenjya and Momorenjya seem to have this dynamic. When Elder Toguro taunts Team Gorenja about the ways he plans to torture and kill them, as Akarenjya is about lash out Momorenjya warns him not to let his anger get the best of him.
* RedShirt: Everyone on the team is this, more or less to show how Badass the other members of Team Toguro are. Though somewhat ironically the red clad Akarenjya was the last of his team to be killed.
* ShoutOut: They are based on the heroes from Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger, the first of the Franchise/SuperSentai series.

* SuperSpeed: Akarenjya, Aorenjya, and Momorenjya have this as their main ability. One tactic they were shown to employ was creating SpeedEchoes in an effort to confuse opponents into attacking an afterimage while they got in close for an attack. Though Elder Toguro countered this by creating several tendrils that shot out from his body that pierced them from any direction they could attack from.
