The second season of the Yu Yu Hakusho anime series, known as the Dark Tournament Saga, was directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by Fuji Television, Yomiko Advertising and Studio Pierrot.

The episodes cover the story of Yusuke Urameshi and how his tenure as Spirit Detective led him to participate in the "Dark Tournament," a competition between demons to determine the strongest supernatural inhabitants of the Living World.

The season initially ran from April 17, 1993, to January 29, 1994, in Japan on Fuji Television.

The first twenty-eight episodes of the English adaptation of the anime were aired between April and May 2003 on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block.
