He didn't need to include it; his powering-UP is self-explanatory.

Not this one. He gives a specific reason that has nothing to do with them being a threat.

Anytime anyone in any shonen says "let's get serious" they power-UP. It's like...freaking tradition and you being a DBZ fan should know that. This is the same case.

Hmm? I'm not denying that he powered up.
Quote:
Let me put it this way:
When Toguro fought Genkai, he started out at 45%. At that level, Genkai's rei-gun blew a hole right through his arm and it nearly fell-off. He himself said it "wasn't respectful to fight while this low" and powered up to 80%. At 80, Genkai could die from even one good, clean punch. At 45, she could dodge his attacks and even land a few hits. The difference is this: Someone who is pulling their punches while powered-up is going to hurt more than someone pulling their punches while powered-down. Even if Sensui isn't trying at 40%, like even just a love-tap, it'll sting much longer than a love-tap at a lower-percentage. It's that simple.

That example kind of works against your point, though I know you were talking about something else. Here's what I mean; Toguro says 45% wasn't respectful after Genkai blew a large chunk of his arm off, and then proceeds to power up to 80% as a show of respect. Sensui does the exact
opposite against Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara (Minus the power up). Sensui says it would normally be
shameful (Clearly because they were horribly outmatched to begin with) to take them seriously, but only because of their determination to avenge Yusuke would he take them "Seriously".
As you can tell, those are completely different reasons, as Hiei's attack had no effect at all, while Genkai's did, and Toguro powered up out of respect, while Sensui did it despite it being shameful.

And about the Makai thing, it was ideal to go where he'd have access to his full-power. If he stayed in Ningenkai he wouldn't be able to give Hiei, Kurama and Kuwabara a "respectable" fight. And in my opinion, he couldn't because they'd either A) Be dead-even and he's be vulnerable or B) Weaker than them. But you say "he wasn't worried". You have to put the scene in context:
|
Hiei's Black Dragon, clearly the strongest attack any of them possessed (Besides potentially the Dimension sword) couldn't even get past Sensui'sd aura. He wasn't afraid of Hiei and Kurama's power up close. It all adds up perfectly to him being too much for them to handle still.
Quote:
-Sensui crushes Yusuke. He then sits down on the TV waiting for the hole to open.
-Kuwabara breaks the barrier. Kurama and Hiei reawken their powers.
-Sensui is surprised [i.e: off-guard] by how much stronger they became due to Yusuke's death.
-While off-guard, and sitting on a TV, Hiei launches a black-dragon at him and pulls him through the barrier. Yes, he was still on the TV and is even in a sitting positition while being carried. Also, the Seikou-ki was protecting him.

Nope, he definitely wasn't off guard. He lacked the surprised or scared look. His comment "Oh Ho! That's definitely A-class power." was more him being slightly impressed, if not a little condisending. It doesn't matter how off-guard he is, he still would have shown some sign of being worried if he actually was. When in fact, he had an attitude like he didn't have a single worry in the world.

So it wasn't exactly that he "wasn't worried" he was actually surprised by their new power and was hit immediately by Hiei's best attack. While chilling on a TV. And to top it off, it could easily just be cockyness because he probably knew the black-dragon couldn't get past his holy-ki. Despite this, it kept pushing him until he was dragged through the Kekkei and it evaporated while Sensui was filtered via divine-ki.

Ya, it couldn't get past his aura because the dragon was
that much weaker. They were nowhere close to his level. Seems pretty obvious to me...
