He also points out that even though he was only supposed to be playing along with Genkai's trap, he really did try his hardest to defeat Kurama. Sometime after Yusuke has been rescued and everything was explained as being a test set up by Genkai, Kaitou's soul was restored to his body, and he introduces himself formally. After eliminating nearly every letter from the alphabet, Kaito thinks for sure that he has won, until a surprise from Kurama causes him to laugh. When Kurama stacks the odds firmly in Kaito's favor, Kaito thought for sure he could defeat Kurama for once. In this game, the rules are to not speak any word from the alphabet that has been eliminated, starting from the end to beginning. After taking the souls of Hiei, Kazuma Kuwabara, and Botan, Kaito and Kurama agree to up the challenge.
