KANAME HAGIRI SPOILER!
KH
The psychic called Sniper turns ordinary objects into guided weapons by marking a target with his Territory. Pebbles, knives, trucks and almost anything else can be made to pursue the mark with terrifying accuracy, forcing Yusuke into one of the Chapter Black arc's most inventive battles. Hagiri works with Sensui because Chapter Black has convinced him that humanity deserves destruction, but he is not as ideologically committed as Sensui himself. Hiei appears to kill him during the chase, only for later events to reveal that the strike was deliberately precise enough to leave him salvageable. Hagiri survives and eventually drifts away from Sensui's cause. His power is memorable because it turns the entire environment into a weapon, making speed almost useless when every harmless object nearby can suddenly decide where Yusuke is going next.

Open page →Kuwabara's new Spirit Sword Becomes Dimension Sword can cut through barriers between spaces. Sensui's plan needs exactly that kind of ability to finish breaking the boundary around Demon World.
That makes the supposedly weakest member of Team Urameshi the strategic center of the arc. Sniper's attacks and Sensui's movements are designed partly to keep Yusuke occupied while Kuwabara can be captured and forced into the right emotional state.

Why it matters
Chapter Black gives Kuwabara importance that has nothing to do with beating Yusuke, Hiei or Kurama in a power contest. His unique ability is the thing the villain's plan cannot replace.
