YuYu Hakusho (Manga) | comment |
A Shonen Fighting manga authored by Yoshihiro Togashi, and adapted into animation by Studio Pierrot, YuYu Hakusho (幽☆é�Šâ˜†ç™½æ›¸, also romanized as Yuu Yuu Hakusho) tells the story of Yusuke Urameshi, a bitter, beleaguered, junior high punk — and legendary street fighter. One particularly bad day gets worse for Yusuke after he dies saving the life of a small boy from a car accident. He discovers that the forces of the Spirit World were expecting the boy to miraculously survive the accident but did not expect Yusuke to even be a part of it. Because of this surprising (if ultimately useless) Heroic Sacrifice, they offer Yusuke a chance to return from the dead. With the help of Botan (a perky female shinigami "Angel of Death" or essentially "Grim Reaper") and the approval of Koenma (the snarky son of King Enma, the judge of the dead in the Buddhist belief system, and the part-time stand-in for his father) Yusuke returns to the living world.But Koenma has other plans for Yusuke, as both his fighting ability and newfound spirit awareness makes him a prime candidate to be a Spirit Detective, an agent of the spirit world hunting down renegade demons who threaten peace on Earth. With much reluctance, Yusuke takes on the job, and finds himself facing all manner of supernatural baddies. Lucky for him, he has the help of Botan as a liaison and tactical support. Early on in his career they send him to the Old Master Genkai, a petite, crotchety old woman who nevertheless is a highly capable spiritual guru and martial artist.As his closest teammates, he gathers some more than capable fighting partners in the form of Kazuma Kuwabara, his old school rival; Kurama, a benevolent reformed fox-spirit trapped in a human body; and Hiei, a not-so-benevolent, not-so-reformed demon who reluctantly tags along with Yusuke and his entourage as part of his sentence.Serialized from 1990 to 1994 in Shonen Jump, Yu Yu Hakusho became an instant phenomenon throughout Japanese culture and set many standards for Studio Pierrot in setting the bar to a new height in animation, cinematography, and fight choreography for the Japanese animation industry. Togashi’s liberal approach to Studio Pierrot’s adaptation practice also led to the solid fruition, and “industrial boomâ€� of multimedia tie-ins by being one of the industry’s first examples of producing “standardize long discographiesâ€� of soundtracks, character image songs, national tours of voice actor stage performances, OVAs, and video games.The above mentioned initial marketing strategy also made Yu Yu Hakusho one of the only few titles to achieve successful continuous tie-ins and crossover campaigns post initial animation airing well over 30 years and counting; targeting its demographic sharply as fan base ages.As of 2020, Yu Yu Hakusho has made crossovers and tie-ins with a broad range of companies, video games, and high ranking mobile games in the Japanese market, including:Fashion, Food & Beverages: GEORGIA Coffee (Shonen Jump 50th Anniversary) Iyemon Tokucha (Suntory) SuperGroupies UNIQLO (Shonen Jump 50th Anniversary)Mascots: Bad Badtz-Maru (Sanrio)Mobile Games: Castle & Dragons Grand Summoners Gyakuten Othellonia Langrisser Mobile Monster Strike Puzzle & Dragons Shironeko Tennis (Subsidiary of Shironeko Project)Video Games: Shonen Jump All-Star Series Jump Super Stars (2005) Jump Ultimate Stars (2006) J-Stars Victory VS (2014) Jump Force (2019)Yu Yu Hakusho is a classic shonen anime featuring colorful characters, lots of humor, and very clever fights. It wasn't as popular in the States as other series, but was one of the first anime to air (mostly uncut) on [adult swim], until it migrated to Toonami with an edited weekday version. It was among Funimation's earliest shows to dub alongside Dragon Ball Z, and therefore, starred some of its earliest regular cast members and kickstarted their reputation. Then 19-year-old Justin Cook, who was the Line Producer and played the lead role, is now the chief producer at the studio. In the Philippines, the series was titled "Ghost Fighter" (and used different character names) and went on to be one of the landmark anime series there as well.In 2020, Netflix announced plans to make a Live-Action Adaptation of the series in association with Toho. It stars Takumi Kitamura as Yusuke Urameshi. The first five episodes premiered on December 14th, 2023. It can be found at Yu Yu Hakusho (2023). | |

Retired Badass: Genkai, a medium who retired to seclusion after winning the Dark Tournament 50 years ago. Kuroko Sanada, Yusuke's predecessor as (the first) spiritual detective, who now lives happily on an estate with a husband and two kids. Although from time to time she (or one of her kids) has to kill a demon who dared to trespass. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_1186fcb5 | comment |
Supernatural Gold Eyes: Kurama may look like a red-haired, green-eyed young man in his human form, but as soon as he drops the human disguise and turns into his real demonic form, his eyes change to this color. Itsuki also has this type of eyes, and they are a hint that he isn't exactly a human psychic. Elder Toguro has them too. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_1206dd74 | comment |
Victory Is Boring: Yusuke falls victim to this after he wins the dark tournament, although he is then punished for his complacency as the next arc starts with him getting kidnapped. It then happens AGAIN after beating Sensui, because being an S-rank demon leaves him as the most powerful fighter in the human world by miles. | |

Given Hiei being a charged criminal, along in handling Yukina's abduction case, Koenma without a doubt understands the siblings’ entire background. But as to how deep he let Jorge and Botan (who’s infamous for her unkept tongue) in on the information remains hanging. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_126ce03c | comment |
I Was Quite a Looker: Everyone who sees the masked fighter's face before she's revealed to be a younger form of Genkai agrees that she's beautiful. Younger Toguro himself very firmly believes this, and much of his frustration with Genkai is how not only beautiful she was, but how strong she was, yet chose not to stay that way. | |

Abnormal Ammo: Bui removes concrete blocks from the Dark Tournament ring and throws them at Hiei. Hagiri can use anything as a lethal projectile, much like Marvel Comics' Bullseye. Some of the things he is seen shooting are dice, knives and a pencil eraser. | |

Bloodless Carnage: A jarring moment in the Chapter Black arc. Yusuke blows an opponent's arm off with his Spirit Gun and not one drop of blood is shown. Odd because the Dark Tournament showed some fairly graphic dismemberments. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Byakko at first seems to explode because Kuwabara overloaded him with the spirit energy absorption, but he turns up later to fight around a lava pit. He is then knocked into the lava pit, and shows up afterwards burned and asks Seiryu for help, who then freezes and shatters him to pieces him for being too weak. His severed, frozen head then lives on for another few minutes, giving him time for one last complaint before finally dying for good. | |

The Artifact: Yusuke's Spirit Detective tools get phased out around the time of the Dark Tournament. This bit actually gets lampshaded by Botan when she laments that Yusuke never bothered to use them. They make a brief comeback at the start of the Chapter Black arc. | |

Heroic BSoD: During the Dark Tournament final round, where Toguro pretends to kill Kuwabara in order to bring Yusuke's Power Level to his own level, becoming a Worthy Opponent. Interesting though at this time, his Battle Aura becomes the polar opposite of Toguro's own Battle Aura, which killed well over a quarter of the stadium's spectators. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Many fans profess that the Chapter Black arc is a stark contrast with most episodes before it — and usually for the better. Included, but not limited to are some serious moral dilemmas for the characters, considerably different kinds of adversaries where simple fisticuffs won't win any fights, a deranged and disturbed villain who's not in it for the good fight, but the absolute success of his agenda and the destruction of the human race, and an overall creepier and more ominous atmosphere. Most fans would cite Chapter Black as the series at its most mature and at its peak. The anime is this compared to the manga. Much of the comedy is tone down and certain characters are treated more seriously. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Gouki's soul-eating tastes (that of little children) is rather close to the edge of pedophilia. Also, Sensui's speech before he dies sounds a lot like him recalling coming out to himself, especially in the dub. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_17122b19 | comment |
Exactly What I Aimed At: In his first fight against Hiei, Yusuke defeats him by having a Spirit Gun reflect at the Forlorn Hope and hit him from behind. In the Dark Tournament, Yusuke shoots a Spirit Gun in a wall outside the ring to make the explosion extinguish Bakken's White Mist. This doesn't hit Bakken directly but plays a big part in his defeat. | |

Sacrificial Revival Spell: This was Kurama's reason for stealing the Forlorn Hope, a magic mirror that grants any wish, but kills the user to do so. He was going to use it to save his terminally ill mother. Subverted in that Yusuke prevents this by joining him in the wish, so the Forlorn Hope takes half of each of their lives to save her. | |

Defeat Means Friendship: Played straight and subverted. Despite Kuwabara being beaten up by Yusuke on the regular, they don't really become friends until after Yusuke dies. Hiei works with Yusuke as part of his sentence, and they become friends that way. Six demons from the Dark Tournament become friends with Yusuke's team after losing to them. Also in the Dark Tournament, one of the former human minions of Dr. Ichigaki offers himself to replace the injured Kuwabara after their fight, but is politely turned down. Mitarai from Sensui's Seven after Kuwabara saves him after their fight. | |

Death from Above: Averted with Hiei. He saves the team by pulling a switch to stop a falling ceiling from crushing them (again, this trope averted). When a giant boulder comes from the sky he actually moves out of the way in time. Although in Lanipator's Abridged version of the show he does get crushed, but still doesn't die. | |

Childhood Friend Romance: Yusuke and Keiko. They've known each other since they were children, and they've been sort of, but not quite, a couple since Yusuke's return from being dead. It takes the end of the series for the two to really, and truly, express their feelings. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: Gonzo kidnaps Yukina to make tons of money off of the extremely valuable jewels she cries in place of tears. Even taking into account Yukina's extremely brave nature and her refusal to cry, there were much more practical and less needlessly cruel ways to get her to shed tears than Cold-Blooded Torture. It never once occurred to him to simply make her cut onions. | |

Playing with Fire | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: Hiei is a natural fire demon but the Jigan eye was actually artificially implanted and reduced his original power to a fraction of what it once was, but the eye grants him use of the primal darkness flame that constantly threatens to overwhelm even him. Zeru is a more common fire demon and powerful in his own right, but easily incinerated by Hiei "Dragon of the Darkness Flame" attack. | |

Senseless Sacrifice | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: The absolute worst part of Yusuke's (first) death is that the child he saved was supposed to miraculously survive anyway. Yusuke literally died for nothing. Botan tells him that if Yusuke hadn't shoved the kid out of the way, the little boy would have gotten one less scrape (because his ball would absorb the car crash impact). So Yusuke's sacrifice actually made things worse. Luckily for him, it's the thought that counts. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: After Yusuke becomes a demon, he no longer regards the casual eating of innocent human beings as an atrocity, and casually tells his ancestor that if eating humans is what will restore his strength, he'll gladly kidnap a few innocent human beings ("really bad ones" in the English dub) and "stuff them down his throat himself" if that's what it takes to get a good fight out of him. He compares it to humans eating hamburgers, saying that a species higher on the food chain preying on one lower is just the natural order, and that humans have simply thought themselves above it. | |

Random Power Ranking: The classifications for power are (in increasing order) D, C, B, A, S. note The classification is set up by the Spirit World, so S-class means "anything the Spirit World fighters can't handle", which goes from those just above A-class to true warrior gods whose powers make weak S-class demons look like nothing. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Many. The biggest one is when Koenma describes the difference between spirit and life energy to Yusuke in the fifth episode. When drained of spirit energy in the climax of the Four Saint Beasts arc, Yusuke taps into his life energy for a Heroic Sacrifice. There was also "Goblin City" in the Chapter Black arc, a video game Yusuke plays at the arcade during the time Kuwabara is fighting Seaman. About six episodes later, guess what the team has to play against Game Master? The Mafuukan, (Koenmna's pacifier. This also explains why he wouldn't let Ogre remove it during the Dark Tournament.) The egg Yusuke throws into the fire to save Keiko early in the series is Puu! It gets lampshaded when Koenma has to remind Yusuke about the egg during the Dark Tournament arc, as he'd completely forgotten about it after he came back to life. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: What parts that are covered are given a bit more to help out with the stories. For example, when Younger Toguro invites Yusuke to the Dark Tournament in the manga, he confronts him outside the school, takes him to the parking lot, and shows his transformation, stating he could level it if he wanted. In the anime, there's much more build up as Yusuke is on a date with Keiko and Toguro leaves a calling card of sorts by damaging a building before confronting him, as well as actually leveling the parking lot to show how serious his threat is when giving the invite. In addition to this, other scenarios that were glossed over in the manga, such as Kuwabara finding out about Toguro's return and being invited alongside Yusuke, the Training Montage involving Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei, and Botan telling Keiko and Shizuru about the Dark Tournament were actually shown in the anime. | |

Ironic Echo: In the Dark Tournament Arc, Kurama gets into a fight with a demonic bomber named Karasu. Early on in the fight, Karasu seems to have the upper hand and as a result mimics putting a pistol to his head and saying, "Bang", indicating to Kurama that he should just simply shoot himself rather than continue fighting Karasu. About ten seconds later, Kurama transforms into his much more powerful true form, and suddenly it's Karasu who's on the ropes. Guess what gesture Kurama decides to make this time. | |

Shoot the Shaggy Dog | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_272abb98 | comment |
Shoot the Shaggy Dog: The entire series starts with one; Yusuke threw business in the afterlife out of whack when he sacrificed his life to save a kid from being hit by a kid, since he was not supposed to die. As it turns out, the child Yusuke saved wasn't even going to die; the ball he was playing with would've kept him alive if slightly injured. The entire Chapter Black saga is an example of this, partially due to Sensui's Batman Gambit above, and partially because Team Urameshi put so much effort into stopping something that the SDF could have done on their own. And Yusuke died, but got better. | |

Shoot the Dog | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_2737c505 | comment |
Shoot the Dog: Team Urameshi is stuck playing a video game come to life with a little boy named Amanuma. This means that everything in the game plays out exactly the same in real life. If Yusuke and the heroes lose, they can just start over until they win; if they win, the villain, Amanuma, dies. Kurama, realizing that this is a trap and that Sensui intends for them to be stuck because they can't kill a kid, beats him anyway. What's more, he tells Amanuma exactly how things will play out to mess with his head, so that he can win faster. Amanuma, being a child, freaks out and loses in an Alas, Poor Villain way. Fortunately, Death Is Cheap and Koenma has a Reset Button handy... which drains his power and prevents from stopping Sensui on his own, which was Sensui's REAL goal in setting the heroes against Amanuma. | |

The demon Raizen attempted to devour a beautiful human woman who worked as a medic, only to discover that she had incorporated all manner of poisons into her body. The doctor calmly says that if Raizen devours her he'll die within hours, and adds that, whether he tries to kill her or not, not eating her would destroy his pride as a man-eater. So between eating her at the cost of his life or not eating her at the cost of his pride, he chose to seduce her, which is how they became Yusuke's ancestors. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
At first it seems that Yusuke's mom completely averts this trope in the beginning, only making it follow Disappeared Dad because we don't see his father at all. However, after the 14th episode his mother doesn't have a speaking part and after Episode 27 we never see her again. She's only mentioned once before Yusuke leaves for demon world later. In the manga, she remains a peripheral character who appears for jokes and to watch fightsnote She went to the Dark Tournament, while Keiko and Shizuru took her place in the Sensui arc. Notably, she's the one holding Puu when Yusuke dies, not Keiko. , and one of the final wrap-up chapters shows she has a cordial relationship with Yusuke's father, but Yusuke doesn't, because Yusuke resents him for beating her when he was younger. | |

Bilingual Bonus: The dub is littered with these for people who speak both Japanese and English. To sub fans who are monolingual in English, these lines sound like straight-up Bowdlerisation — the most infamous being "A mulberry (kuwa) is a tree, and Kuwabara's a man!" It makes more sense when you see the translation of the original line: "Just as a cherry blossom is a flower among flowers, Kuwabara is a man among men!" That's also why there's little pink petals floating down in the scene. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Played with. Most everyone has their regular attire for the average day, but they can and do change clothes often enough depending on the situation. However, their clothes usually remain assigned by color: Yusuke — green, Kurama — red, Kuwabara — blue, and Hiei — black. | |

Saved by the Platform Below: Overshadowed by others' badassery, Kuwabara has his second fight with Byakko the White Tiger (to get the latter out of the way to Artifact of Doom infesting human world with demon insects) end with both fighters thrown off a small elevated stone plateau down into lava. It's soon revealed that Kuwabara's sash got stuck on a sharp rock protrusion and the guy is hanging there scared shitless, flailing and crying for help as the thing is about to tear. | |

Face Fault | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_2d266580 | comment |
Face Fault: The Dark Tournament arc features this several times (most memorably when a contestant abruptly leaves the ring in the middle of his power-up to go vomit), but it is usually reserved for the comic relief characters of Koenma and Jorge. The dub hangs a lampshade on this and deconstructs it when Koenma yells at Jorge to get up because "surprise time's over" and Jorge replies that his horn got stuck in the floor. Earlier, in the fourth episode Kuwabara and his gang are pressured to pass their next test and if they don't they will all get kicked out of school. The group talks and explains they need to study to get their grades up. When they ask Kuwabara what he got on his last test he sheepishly responds a Seven. Cue Face Fault. | |

Talking in Your Sleep: Despite sleeping heavily, Yusuke still reacts accordingly to things that happen around him. He can even fight in his sleep, apparently sleepwalking while dreaming of fighting Genkai; he managed to knock out three opponents who wanted to take advantage of his sleeping state on the ship. | |

He's the weakest and the most monstrous-looking of the four, having the appearance of a bipedal turtle monster with a body made of rocks. He can also manipulate stones and use them as projectiles. He can also reassemble his body parts if he's cut to pieces, but if his brain is damaged, he's done for. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Toguro refuses his elder brother's offer for assistance prior to his match with Yusuke in the Dark Tournament finals, right before smacking the crap out of him. When Elder Toguro gets angry and remarks that they sold their souls together, younger Toguro responds, "That may be. But I never sold my standards." The fact that he had basically bad-mouthed his former lover he had killed the previous night and disgraced her memory didn't help at all. Earlier, he openly condemned Botajiri's attempts to rig the match against Team Masho. He specifically wanted Yusuke to level up and give him a good challenge. He didn't care if Yusuke died before that fight, but he didn't want him out of the tournament based on a technicality. Also, the usually amoral and even sadistic referee Koto seriously objects to two of Team Masho's members' dirty methods of fighting and Botajiri's rigging of the matches. She wants a good fight, but she takes her job seriously and draws the line at just beating up a literally defenseless person. Before his Morality Pet little sister Yukina showed up, Hiei played the Token Evil Teammate role pretty straight. However, he was so disgusted with Seiryuu killing his teammate that he chooses to be the one to take him on, instead of fighting the Big Bad on the next floor, leaving him for Yusuke. Hiei also happens to have the strongest stomach for cruelty and such, but even he got visually pissed off when Bakken was purposefully extending his fight with Kurama. In fact Hiei was so mad, he would've used his Dragon of the Darkness flame again, which would've killed him in his current state. | |

Hiei and Mukuro is implied but still leaves room for speculation. Kuwabara and Yukina is made much more likely. Yusuke's dad comes back into the picture and gets back with his mom. Chu falls for a new character named Natsume, who eventually returns the sentiment. The trio of Juri, Koto and Ruka admit to loving the trio of Jin, Suzuki and Touya. Koenma and a female reaper also are implied to get together. | |

Gentle Giant: Both Kuwabara and Kurama are the tallest members of Team Urameshi but are very compassionate. Shinobu Sensui stands at least 6' and it would be hard to believe someone like him would ever consider destroying humanity. Though your mileage may vary on how gentle he is, since he's still incredibly sadistic and sociopathic despite his outwardly soft-spoken demeanor. | |

Heavy Sleeper: Yusuke early in the Dark Tournament. This is explained as Genkai's training being so strenuous that he has to sleep a lot to recover his energies — though it can be pretty ridiculous when he spends the entire trip to the island, all the way through the first fight in the Tournament, asleep. The smell of alcohol finally wakes him up, because it reminds him of his home. | |

Batman Gambit | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Sensui sets up 11-year-old Amanuma so that the only way the heroes can advance is to kill him. If they let him live, the Makai Tunnel opens without a hitch, and Sensui can die happily. If they kill him (which they do), Sensui knows that Koenma will feel guilty and drain his energy resurrecting the kid, thereby rendering him unable to defeat Sensui, and the Makai Tunnel still opens without a hitch and Sensui dies happily. Either way he buys himself time. | |

Doctor Kamiya uses his powers to infect the city with a horrible plague. He informs Yusuke that the plague will disappear if he dies or is knocked unconscious, since he is maintaining it with his powers. Doctor turns out to Feel No Pain, making it impossible to knock him out. Doctor orders him to choose: break his Thou Shalt Not Kill creed, or watch as the innocent people die horribly. Yusuke punches him into the sky, knocking him out of range and unable to maintain the plague. | |

Afterlife Angst: The manga kills off its protagonist, Yusuke, in the first chapter/episode and then shows him at first not realizing he's dead and then attending his own funeral before accepting that he's willing to die — only for him to be offered a chance at resurrection. | |

Feeling Their Age | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_3d2d0d5c | comment |
Feeling Their Age: A major character point with regards to the Big Bad Younger Toguro. He used to be human but was so afraid of getting older he sold his soul to become virtually immortal (he later saw immortality to be boring and so sought for a fighter strong enough to kill him). Suzuka has a vision of old age similar to Younger Toguro's: he despises old people for their natural decay of strength and beauty. However, instead of selling his soul to become immortal, he just wants to die before getting old. Genkai is a formidable fighter despite her years but still far from what she was at her prime. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: The first time Hiei fights on the good guys' side, he slashes up the guy that pissed him off before his opponent could even start to attack. Most of Hiei's battles are like that: Hiei's first battle in the Dark Tournament takes a few minutes because he doesn't attack, then he incinerates his FIRE USER foe; later in the Dark Tournament, Hiei faces Makintaro and cuts his arm off the very moment the referee starts the match, and when Makintaro insists on fighting Hiei finishes him with a blade in the brain; against Bui, the two play a little, then, after Bui apparently wins by throwing his Death or Glory Attack back at him, Hiei unveils that such an action only powered him up and defeats Bui with a POKE and a punch; Hiei's "battle" with Sniper consists of Hiei appearing from nowhere and piercing him with his blade; also, Hiei's battle with Sensui, only this time Hiei is on the receiving side. Hiei isn't exactly a Fragile Speedster, but he can't take a punch as well as most of the team, and can easily attack someone's vitals, so the only question is which side of the Curb-Stomp Battle he's on. The three members of Team Toguro apart from Younger Toguro, vs. Team Gorenja in the semifinals. Karasu blows one member to pieces before he can do much, Bui instantly slaughters his foe with his axe, and Elder Toguro, taking on the remaining three at once, defeats them all instantly, killing one and weakening the other two so that he can finish them off easily. Yusuke curb stomps Bakken in retribution for his treatment of Kurama. Genkai's matches against both Shishiwakamaru and Suzuka in the Tournament semi-finals turn out to be this. Made all the more notable because both had been hyped up as sizable threats before then (each had made quick work of Kuwabara, teleporting him outside of the ring). Even Hiei and Kuwabara seemed to treat them as formidable opponents. However, Genkai (despite being severely weakened after giving much of her energy to Yusuke just before) makes quick work out of each of them, without so much as breaking a sweat; she defeats Shishi with her incredible knowledge of techniques (one of which included using HIS energy to power her attacks), then beats Suzuka with nothing but her fists. Sensui vs. Yusuke (round one, anyway), then Sensui proceeding to kick the collective asses of Youko Kurama, Hiei AND Kuwabara. Yusuke, after awakening his demon half, kicks the ever loving piss out of Sensui when it takes over. Yusuke's fight against Sniper was so very much this. In all his experience, Yusuke was always used to fighting enemies head on, but never against somebody who methodically kept his distance and chipped away at him. If it wasn't for Hiei's big damn heroic moment, Yusuke would've been dead a second time. The battle of Shura vs his father Yomi also counts. Shura even tricks Yomi into getting in close, only to blast him point blank in the face with an energy blast that resembled a nuke. Yomi didn't feel a thing. Kid never had a chance, and as Yusuke notices that he's closer to Shura's level than Yomi's, he suspects that neither does he. Early in the series, before Yusuke died, he used to hand these out to Kuwabara every time they fought, but Kuwabara keeps coming back for more because he sees Yusuke as his rival. Kuwabara versus Elder Toguro. Elder Toguro No Sold a few of Kuwabara's sword attacks and chipped away at him, but didn't manage to land any hits that mattered before Kuwabara literally beat him into the ground. When they first meet, Yusuke tries to fight Raizen only to get completely wrecked without the latter even moving. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: A few during the Three Kings Saga: Yusuke didn't grow up in demon world, so he has no idea why the currency was so important. Yusuke has no organizational skills or interest, so he doesn't put much effort into organizing the tournament aside from the general tone, rules for qualification and the prize. Due to this gap, an ad hoc committee forms to do the finer details of the organizing, finding an MC, etc. Yusuke announces that the tournament is open to every demon in demon world, which has thousands of demons sign up for, including ones that haven't been heard from in centuries. Due to this, his method of choosing opponents by selecting their name-etched on marble-like currency is rendered moot and an ad hoc committee forms to organize a replacement lottery for the qualifying round, and a bracket for those that pass. Three of the participates are former kings, while the throne can technically go to anyone, they have a much stronger chance of winning, since their kingship was based on the fact that they were the strongest around. Many of the other participates who found themselves in a qualifying round with said former king, realized they didn't stand a chance, and turned tail. Yusuke doesn't use his authority as tournament sponsor to do anything but make a specific request: live and let live. Unlike the Dark Tournament, where killing and maiming your opponents is encouraged, he wants everyone to survive in order to join in future tournaments. This upsets some of the audience, since they want to see the carnage, but many see the logic behind his argument. Yusuke has no formal training or practice in public speaking, and is Book Dumb, so the speech was made written-by-the-seat of his pants, with a lot of hesitations and heart-filled words. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: A minor version, since Kuwabara was never really that bad of a guy in the first place, but towards the beginning of both the manga and the anime, Kuwabara's gang gets into trouble for getting into a fight and Kuwabara winds up sticking his neck out for one of his friends and promises to a teacher to stay out of fights and pass an upcoming exam. This fight is never shown in the manga and is implied to be the usual delinquent behavior from him, but in the anime the fight is shown, and he started the fight only because the gang he was fighting was harassing (and possibly threatening to molest) Keiko and he wanted to help her out. Yusuke, while still a delinquent in the anime, has some of his bad traits toned down, like his smoking habit, gambling, and shoplifting. King Enma in the anime due to omitting plot details revealed in the last manga chapters. He still isn't the best person by any stretch but he isn't a Greater-Scope Villain like in the manga. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: Played perfectly straight when Yusuke is faced with the dilemma of killing his mentor to learn her ultimate technique. He refuses, but not immediately. Good thing, too, because if he had refused without hesitating, he would have failed the test as it would have indicated a lack of desire to get stronger. Early in the series when Keiko is caught in a fire, Yusuke is told that he could sacrifice the energy he was collecting in his spirit egg (the means by which he could return to life) in order to lead her to safety. He did so without hesitation, which impressed Koenma so much that he offered Yusuke another chance to return to life. Of course, he also had plans to make Yusuke the next Spirit Detective. This test really paid off, as Koenma revealed that the way Yusuke was going, the egg's inhabitant would have devoured his soul. | |

Deus ex Machina: Some of Yusuke's victories in Genkai's tournament were due to convenient circumstances occurring like slipping in the mud and getting algae in his ears. During Yusuke's fight with Yomi in the Demon World Tournament, Yusuke gains the upper hand when he spontaneously generates a new kind of energy. Hiei at first thinks it's sacred energy, but then Koenma exclaims that "No, it's not! This is something brand new!" Yusuke's revival and subsequent victory over Sensui came totally out of left field when he's randomly revealed to be descended from one of the three S-class kings of the Demon World who can take control of his body at will... | |

Mysterious Past | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_421ae215 | comment |
Hiei is the most extreme example of this in Yu Yu Hakusho, along with Yukina. For the first 3 seasons he and Yukina have a Mysterious Past. At first it seems it's possible they're fully grown in a demon's sense and on their own, so that's why we never hear from their parents. In a Whole Episode Flashback we see Hiei's upbringing. He was born in a female One-Gender Race where men are forbidden. After it's revealed his mother gave birth to a boy, Hiei is thrown from a cliff to his "death." Not long after his mother killed herself out of grief. It seems only she knew of his father, so his whereabouts are unknown. Because Yukina has not had a child yet, something her entire race does every 100 years without fail, it can be assumed neither of them are full grown. In fact, they're some of the few ambiguously aged characters in the show. | |

Elemental Powers: Genbu (earth), Seiryuu (ice) and Suzaku (electricity) from the Four Saint Beasts.note The only one without an elemental power is Byakko, who fights over a lava pit but has no fire-based techniques. Hiei uses different fire-based techniques in the Dark Tournament, where his first opponent (Zeru from Team Rokuyukai) is also a fire user. Jin (wind), Touya (ice), Bakken (water, air and wind)note Condenses his sweat into a deep mist to make himself invisible to opponents and then sends a torrent of wind to distract their attention before attacking and Risho (earth) from Team Masho.note As with the Four Saint Beasts, only one member of the team (Gama) does not have elemental powers. | |

After being cornered by Youko Kurama during their fight in the Dark Tournament, Ura Urashima starts to reveal a secret about Team Uraotogi but is killed when Shishiwakamaru throws his sword at him from out of the ring. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kuwabara is introduced as a delinquent and is shown doing nothing but repeatedly trying to beat up Yusuke. Later, after Yusuke dies, he sees Kuwabara rescue Keiko from some thugs, let himself get beat up and study his heart out to save a friend's job (thus preventing his family from living on the streets), pulling Keiko out of a fire, and going through humiliating lengths to save a kitten. Yusuke also began like this. He used to be a chain-smoking, gambling, greedy delinquent without a goal in life (and, according to Botan, he was even arrested before), but if him jumping in the way of a runaway car to save a wandering child is any indication, he wasn't all that bad. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_4977559e | comment |
Our Angels Are Different: Played with in a highly weird way. The afterlife is based heavily on a bureaucraticized version of hybrid Sinto and Bhuddist depictions, and the beings like Botan that patrol the world looking for souls are explicitly Shinigami, but they also have distinctly angelic traits in their powersets, like the ability to become indistinguishable from humans, as angels do in the Old Testament, and the names of some of the afterlife realms to which they ferry souls of the dead are named after western and middle eastern mythological afterlives. That said, nothing in the show is explicitly called 'angelic' except in grim mockery of a fallen Spirit Detective's power that makes him look like one. However... | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Sensui is very hung up over this. In a late-series one-shot, Yusuke investigates an apparent case of demonic activity at Keiko's school, but realizes that it's only two of the girls trying to force the third to leave because they don't like her performance or attitude on the team. The narrator concludes that humans are perhaps as bad as demons, and possibly worse, especially when Yusuke sells the uniform he borrowed from Keiko to someone online after she refuses to pay him because Kurama did most of the work. Which then gets subverted when Togashi's editor pointed out that Yusuke's a demon at that point. | |

Explaining Your Power to the Enemy | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_4af26a14 | comment |
For the most part, this is actually an averted trope. Explaining Your Power to the Enemy, while it makes utterly no sense in-universe, is mainly used so the reader/viewer can understand the ability being used. In the anime, the narrator explains the abilities or items characters are using most of the time, and thus this trope stays averted for the most part. | |

Orc Raised by Elves: Kurama is a reincarnation of a silver-haired fox demon that was reborn into a human child called Shuichi Minamino. In the beginning of his second life, he intended to stay human only long enough to regain his full strength, but the loving care of his human mother made Kurama realize that he genuinely loved her. Kurama abandoned Hiei's plan to build an army of human monsters immediately after securing the magic item he needed to rescue his mother. He then defected fully to Team Urameshi, and later convinced Hiei to do the same. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars: Subverted. Sensui's scars are multiple, as you'd expect of a villain; however, they are entirely covered by his shirt, as you'd expect of a good guy (because he used to be one). Itsuki becomes scarred over his eye from taking Kuwabara's Rei-ken: a simple heroic scar. Mukuro's scars are also "bad guy" scars that cover half of her body; however, seeing how she got them (by pouring acid over herself to prevent her "father" from raping her as a child), as well as her usual hiding of them, makes them "good guy" markings. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: It's easy to forget that the first few chapters of the manga were episodic, where a ghostly Yusuke and Botan would help people and ghosts with their problems as the delinquent tries to earn the right to come back to life. It's not until Yusuke returns to life 17 chapters in that we get to the more popular Spirit Detective stuff. And even the, the beginning of the Spirit Detective arc was more about investigative stories of paranormal variety, with few fights in-between. It's only after the Four Saint Beasts arc that the story focuses prominently on fights. The Chapter Black arc once more tried a bit more on the investigative stories (or rather, story) side with fights in-between as well, but has a long fight with the boss for the climax. The major characters were drawn with shorter height and rounder faces to reflect their more youthful look. As soon as Yusuke starts having major fights however, the cast are drawn a bit sharper. | |

Gonzou Tarukane. While he is dangerous thanks to his wealth and his connections (being the founder of the Black Black Club, and hiring various demons and humans to do his dirty work), he overestimates his chances of winning, loses everything when Younger Toguro is defeated, and doesn't compare well to most of the antagonists in the series. It doesn't help that the Toguro Bros. were actually working for the real Big Bad, who had caused him to lose his money, and that they end up killing him after this is revealed. | |

Our Demons Are Different | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: "Demon" seems to be a race of beings that live in the Demonic World. Demons don't die of age, but can be killed, and are shown to have souls that go to the afterlife just like humans on earth (except in the movie, where it is revealed they originally went somewhere else). Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything they all have in common; they may appear with horns and wings, or as anthropomorphic animals, eldritch abominations, or be very human in appearance. Their powers vary similarly, with very few fitting into stock demonic abilities. Most of their powers seem like they'd be more at home in superhero fiction. Our Psychics Are Different, too. In Yu Yu Hakusho, a psychic isn't (merely) someone who can sense spirits or tell the future. They're usually powerful martial artists who are able to harness spirit energy, each in their own unique and amazing way. Overall they seem to be the human equivalent of demons in terms of their capabilities, though far fewer in number and limited by age. | |

Invisible Parents | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_5369c081 | comment |
Invisible Parents: Moreso in the anime; the parents are simply not addressed if they're not in the plot. Kuwabara's parents are never mentioned in the show; it's suggested he is raised by his older sister who is in her early 20s in the anime and 18 in the manga. In the manga their father does appear in one chapter toward the very end, to tell Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Kurama that Yukina will be staying with them from now on while she integrates into the human world, but was never mentioned before that. At first it seems that Yusuke's mom completely averts this trope in the beginning, only making it follow Disappeared Dad because we don't see his father at all. However, after the 14th episode his mother doesn't have a speaking part and after Episode 27 we never see her again. She's only mentioned once before Yusuke leaves for demon world later. In the manga, she remains a peripheral character who appears for jokes and to watch fightsnote She went to the Dark Tournament, while Keiko and Shizuru took her place in the Sensui arc. Notably, she's the one holding Puu when Yusuke dies, not Keiko. , and one of the final wrap-up chapters shows she has a cordial relationship with Yusuke's father, but Yusuke doesn't, because Yusuke resents him for beating her when he was younger. At first it seems Kurama's human mother is a doting parent, but after Episode 7 we never see her featured in an episode again until she gets married, and even then it's merely cameo appearances. It seems Kurama has to lie to her on a regular basis since she doesn't know he's a fox demon but we never see what his excuses are as for why he goes missing for multiple days at a time. Hiei is the most extreme example of this in Yu Yu Hakusho, along with Yukina. For the first 3 seasons he and Yukina have a Mysterious Past. At first it seems it's possible they're fully grown in a demon's sense and on their own, so that's why we never hear from their parents. In a Whole Episode Flashback we see Hiei's upbringing. He was born in a female One-Gender Race where men are forbidden. After it's revealed his mother gave birth to a boy, Hiei is thrown from a cliff to his "death." Not long after his mother killed herself out of grief. It seems only she knew of his father, so his whereabouts are unknown. Because Yukina has not had a child yet, something her entire race does every 100 years without fail, it can be assumed neither of them are full grown. In fact, they're some of the few ambiguously aged characters in the show. Even Keiko plays this trope. We know she has parents, but we only see them twice in the entire series. We don't know what they think of her suddenly missing several days of school and not coming home on multiple occasions nor do we ever hear her explanations. | |

Flash Step | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_53c37297 | comment |
Flash Step: The only main fighter that isn't normally seen to use this is Kuwabara, because he's too slow. He actually does do a flash step in his fight against Rinku. Even though Rinku proves to be faster than he'd let on up to that point, he was clearly already moving too fast for an ordinary person to track, and Kuwabara was faster than even that level. He's just slow compared to his teammates. Hiei, in particular, uses flash steps a lot. Hiei's speed is much more fun when you consider him cutting the enemy's arm so fast and RETURNING to where he was standing that the enemy did not even know he moved at all. Flash Stepping to your enemy's back? Beginners. Flash Stepping to hurt your enemy and then Flash Stepping back? Expert. Enemies do it too, of course. A non-battle example: after Younger Toguro finishes his I Am Not Left-Handed demonstration for Yusuke, he finishes it off by flash stepping behind Yusuke to tell him about the Dark Tournament and give him an ultimatum to join. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: At worst, most demons play pranks on humans. At least in the manga. For most of the series, they do seem extremely bloodthirsty. It's explained away in the manga by King Yama brainwashing demons in order to set up cases, but the anime just has Enki "change the system" and the way demons act once he becomes King of Demon World. | |

Unlike a lot of shonen, the general build of each character does not change as they become stronger. In fact, with the exception of Toguro the size of one's muscles has no bearing on actual strength. Explained by Genkai that the physical body has its limitations, but the augmentation of spirit power to their body is crucial and allows one who masters it access to higher physical power than any muscles can release. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The anime cuts out a lot of the adventures Yusuke had while dead— the only ones left are the ones that set up Keiko's and Kuwabara's characters. This streamlining continues throughout Kurama's introduction,note cutting out the flashback that explains the exact moment that caused his change and his rationalization of how his mother will actually be better off with him dead, now that she's seeing someone, but the anime also starts making small changes that give Koenma and Botan more to do and more dialogue in general. Koenma gains his video screen that lets him watch everything the heroes do and his sidekick Jorge Saotome, who needs things explained to him. Cutting actual scenes or storylines mostly stops by the time we get to Genkai, and entirely once we get to Yukina, but starting with the Yukina rescue and going into the Dark Tournament, the anime starts padding the episodes out with more character moments, like having Botan go with Kuwabara and Yusuke to Tarukane's mansion, extending the fights with the demon triad, and more Koenma-and-Jorge slapstick, or slightly extending jokes and sight gags, like Botan imagining Hiei's reaction to her telling Yukina who he is. Keiko and Shizuru start to get more dialogue and more introspection, both to extend the length of the tournament episodes (the most popular arc of the manga) and to cover for Atsuko being left out of the anime from this point on. Small changes keep happening, like having Keiko recoil and slap a demon in fright instead of deliberately punching him (and muttering to herself afterward about how she's losing her touch) or rearranging dialogue so that Hiei actually has lines, and short scenes of introspection get progressively longer until we hit the Sensui arc and the Three Kings. Once the Demon World Tournament starts, however, all bets are off. The manga only shows a little of the prelims and the beginning of Yusuke's fight with Yomi, before cutting back to the human world, summarizing the tournament, and starting a long wrap-up of final character notes and last hurrahs, ending with the characters relaxing after Genkai's funeral. The anime, again because the Dark Tournament was so popular, instead extends the tournament, fleshing out Yusuke's and Yomi's fight, but also ones that were only mentioned, like Kurama vs Shigure and Hiei vs Mukuro, and condensing all of the character notes and last hurrahs into the 112th episode... and letting Genkai live. So it's kind of fascinating, taken as a whole. The first part is full of cuts to get to the fighting faster, while the last part is full of padding to keep the fighting going until the end. | |

Single-Target Sexuality: Itsuki is "Sensui-sexual". He even loves all of Sensui's personalities, no matter how vile. His official favorite is Shinobu, the original one, although Naru — a young girl who is naive and innocent — comes in second. It's worth pointing out that Itsuki's manga version talks about how he started hanging around young Sensui because he knew the other would break eventually and he loves to see pure things shattered. | |

The Kekkai barrier is used to separate the Human World from the Demon World.

Heroic Sacrifice | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: This story loved to play with and subvert this trope as often as it could. Even when it seems it's played straight, there's always a catch. It figures since the whole story is based on a Senseless Sacrifice. Best example played straight is Kuwabara in the Dark Tournament, where he sacrifices himself to Toguro to unlock Yusuke's full power.note Of course it turned out Toguro didn't kill him (and possibly never intended to), but Kuwabara didn't know that going into it. When he realized he wasn't going to die, he played along anyway. Yusuke attempts to invoke this during the Chapter Black arc after realizing that he's horribly outclassed by Shinobu's (Sensui) Divine Energy. His friends fail as well, though his Demonic Atavism is awakened by his second death, giving him the strength to fight with Shinobu on equal terms. | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: Yusuke (Choleric) — short-tempered, cocky, impulsive, and insecure Kuwabara (Sanguine) — loyal, clumsy, stubborn, and short-tempered Kurama (Phlegmatic) — analytical, calm, calculating, and cunning Hiei (Melancholic) — aloof, cold, cynical, and reserved | |

An Ice Person | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_67b0bd0e | comment |
An Ice Person: Touya is a demon ninja with mastery over ice. When he went under Genkai for some Training from Hell, he became powerful enough to freeze a battlefield. Seiryuu, one of the Four Saint Beasts (and also, ironically, The Dragon to Big Bad Suzaku), also had ice powers, but he was a drop in the bucket compared to Touya. There's also Yukina, actually an ice maiden. | |

Last Disrespects: While Kuwabara goes on a screaming fit about Yusuke dying at his funeral in the start of the manga, his outburst is a sign of genuine mourning. In contrast, their school principal calls out some teachers who are at the funeral making snide comments about both Yusuke and Kuwabara's behavior. | |

The Reveal | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The "mysterious" masked fighter that comes to the Dark Tournament as the gang's fifth member is obviously Genkai, even wearing the same robes as her and having her characteristically short stature. Despite this, nobody notices until unmasking time comes... sort of. Kuwabara flat-out asks Yusuke if Mask is Genkai, and Yusuke pretty much tells him: "That's what I thought, but that's not her voice." Kuwabara is pretty firm in thinking this, until the mask gets ripped and young Genkai is shown beneath it. Genkai's fighting style has the body's cells rejuvenated to the time they were strongest when it's used. | |

Males are forbidden in Ice World so he was quickly left for dead, meanwhile his sister Yukina was allowed to live with them. | |

Meaningful Name: "Urameshi" is what Japanese ghosts who are haunting a house wail; "Kuwabara kuwabara" is a charm against ghosts; "Kurama" and "Hiei" are Japanese mountains said to be sites of demon activity; all of the ferry girls have names associated with flowers and plants ("Botan" — peony, "Ayame" — iris, "Hinageshi" — poppy). This plant naming even goes for Sensui, whose name is a kanji anagram of "suisen" (daffodil) and Itsuki (flowering tree), perhaps to note the severity of their Face–Heel Turn. Mt. Hiei was forbidden to women until recent history; Hiei inverted this by being born on a floating mountain where men are the ones who are forbidden. | |

Magic A Is Magic A: There are a lot of random powers that pop up, but there is a broad sense of consistency in how it works. Overall, the different forms of energy, how they manifest and can be used is well documented, with a good portion of the fighting being about strategy instead of raw strength. Genkai and Koenma often have the job of explaining what is going on and, sometimes, why this new ability is still in line with what was previously said. | |

Several times Koenma has appeared right behind Yusuke (or below his line of sight, or in a form Yusuke doesn't recognize), speaking to and startling him in the process. Botan does this to Yusuke once as well. The entire gag got subverted toward the final matches of the Dark Tournament arc, where Yusuke's spirit energy/reiki level became powerful enough to enable him to detect Koenma's presence as soon as he turned up. | |

Right after Yusuke comes back from the dead he explores the town in sunglasses and messed up hair. And goes unnoticed. In that same episode there's also a certain blue-haired fortune teller with a fake sounding accent who knows about Yusuke, so you can understand why he couldn't tell it was Botan in disguise. | |

Idiot Ball: Gama's fight with Kurama would've been a lot shorter had he suppressed Kurama's entire energy from the start instead of only making his limbs heavier (which still enabled Kurama to summon the Rose Whip from his hair). It's not even a theory, since Gama himself, as he's profusely bleeding from his wounds and dying, acknowledges he should've done it. He ends up actually doing it, but at the cost of his life and for a limited amount of time due to his subsequent death. | |

Blocking Stops All Damage: Subverted when Hiei faces an enemy with a weapon far stronger than his sword. Blocking the thing actually cuts his sword and bracing it with his arm cuts his arm. He only gets a draw by taking a hit to make him drop his guard. Also subverted in the final battle between Toguro and Yusuke. Yusuke sends the most powerful attack he could muster against Toguro and he blocks it and eventually stops it after an intense struggle. Toguro then dies because the strain of blocking it was equal to taking the hit. | |

Yusuke accomplished this by moving in the mirror's direction so Hiei would be directly in front of it after the Spirit Gun was fired. | |

Morality-Guided Attack | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_748a09e8 | comment |
Morality-Guided Attack: One of the functions of Genkai's Spirit Wave technique is demonstrated to have this effect. During the fight against Team Ichigaki, she uses it to expel the Barukis that Dr. Ichigaki had attached to three marital artists to make them fight and kill others against their will. Yusuke and Kuwabara at first mistakenly assume them to have been killed by her attack, but then once they are conscious she explains that it would only have killed them if they were evil at heart. | |

Put on a Bus: Hiei gets this treatment near the start of the Sensui arc, claiming he doesn't care about human world. He does come back several episodes later and even when they march into the cave just after that he's practically Demoted to Extra. Kuwabara gets a similar treatment in the last season when all of the characters move on to demon world, he stays behind. Makes sense, since he's human. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Yusuke and Keiko. They fight constantly from the very first episode, but they clearly care a lot about each other. Their relationship upgrades gradually: After the Saints Beasts arc, we tend to see them argue with each other more often than not in their interactions, but neither Yusuke nor Keiko seem to refute the notion that they're in a relationship (or something at least akin to it). Yusuke mentions to Toguro that he hopes to "grow old" with her after winning the Dark Tournament, and a lot of the set-up to the Demon Kings arc involves Yusuke clarifying his hopes to marry her by the series' end. They do both say "I love you" on-page in the final chapters, though they're still teenagers in high school at the finale. | |

Beat Them at Their Own Element | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_7a2fcdc6 | comment |
Beat Them at Their Own Element: Hiei is a fire demon who mostly prefers to use his martial arts and swordsmanship to win fights. In the first round of the Dark Tournament, he encounters Zeru, another fire demon who is impressively strong, and rather than try to take on Zeru with his usual fighting style, Hiei brings out his own fire abilities for one of the few times in the series. Hiei whips out a Dangerous Forbidden Technique that is the fire equivalent of a Fantastic Nuke and drops it on Zeru, reducing him to nothing more than a scorched silhouette on a wall. | |

Real Men Wear Pink: Kurama doesn't look all that impressive at first glance. After all, he is an effeminate-looking red-haired pretty-boy that half the time wears a pink school uniform, is something of a mama's boy, and has this thing for roses to boot. Guess which character is the biggest badass in the team (to the point that Hiei is scared of him), rakes up the highest on-screen body count and regularly delivers beat-downs of epic proportions to anyone who pisses him off. | |

Failure Gambit | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_7bfa91bf | comment |
Failure Gambit: The series's villains have a habit of relying on these, usually in conjunction with Suicide by Cop. Toguro, as Genkai's former teammate, seeks his own death at the hands of Yusuke, her student, for reasons only speculated in the series — perhaps as a form of atonement, or to prove to himself that the decision he made to abandon his humanity was a mistake. The third season Big Bad, Sensui, sought to go to the Demon World simply so that he could intentionally die there as penance after seeing the world inhabited by the creatures he felt remorse over formerly hunting and killing. The fact that Yusuke, a human-demon hybrid, killed him was a bonus. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Genkai not only is unharmed by Suzuki's Rainbow Cyclone, but also steals his clown nose without being noticed and is completely unfazed by his muscle growth technique. She declares his defeat before attacking, telling him he's a genius at creating battle artifacts for his teammates but made the error of mistaking the beauty of his techniques for strength. The Curb-Stomp Battle that follows, with her beating the crap out of him with only punches and kicks, proves she was absolutely right. | |

Sleep Paralysis Creature: In an early chapter when Yusuke is still working to be allowed back into his body, he visits a sleeping Keiko as a spirit to tell her of his plans involving that. While he's not trying to cause any sleep paralysis discomfort, he decides to talk to her while sitting on her belly and making her visibly strain against the weight, invoking this trope. | |

Moving the Goalposts | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_7df2b942 | comment |
Moving the Goalposts: In an early episode, Sadist Teacher Mr. Akashi will do anything to expel students he doesn't like, and make life miserable for others. This is best demonstrated by his treatment of Kuwabara; Kuwabara's friend Okubo is holding down a job after school, and it's normally forbidden for students to do so without a special permit. So Akashi threatens to contact Okubo's boss and have him fired, unless Kuwabara refrains from violence for a certain amount of time, then hires a gang of bullies to try and goad him into a fight. When that doesn't work (Kuwabara just lets them beat him up), Akashi pulls the trope by adding a new condition — the pair and their two friends have to score high enough on an upcoming test as well. And then he tries it again by, when Kuwabara actually gets just high enough a score, erasing one of the correct answers and lowering his grade. Fortunately, the boys' homeroom teacher Mr. Takenaka catches on and intervenes, restoring Kuwabara's correct grade and permitting Okubo to keep his job. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: In the manga, Hiei taking possession of the Black Chapters tape. It's confirmed he did get his hands on it, but that's all. The anime adds in a scene where he destroys it, probably to head this off. | |

Story-Breaker Power | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_8712e4c9 | comment |
Story-Breaker Power: As per Word of God and in-universe examinations Raizen is acknowledged to have formerly been the most powerful demon in the series. Hundreds of years ago when he was in his prime Raizen had a power level so amazing that he could have easily defeated the other Two Kings of Demon World without batting an eyelid. You'd probably then wonder what is preventing Raizen from ending the war between the 3 kingdoms by himself. Raizen does have the potential to regain his old power level, but since he's a breed of demon who gains his power from eating human flesh Raizen's decision to not eat humans out of love for Yusuke's female ancestor has led to him starving to death. In his weakened state Raizen can't fight like he used to and has retired to his castle waiting for a successor to assume his throne before he dies, Yusuke being said successor. Notably, despite having about a year left before his starvation kills him he can defeat Yusuke's newly acquired S-Class power level with a wave of his hand — like an adult kicking a child's ass, showing that Yusuke is still a runt in the litter as far as S-Class demons are concerned. Hell, it takes Raizen being literally minutes away from death plus a year of hard training for Yusuke to fight on par with Raizen.For additional perspective, Kurama makes it a point that though the S-Class rank is still an awe-inspiring rank for a demon to attain, there are some demons in the ranks of Demon World that transcend the ranking system so profoundly that they might as well be considered gods; in fact the classing system of S-Class usually just translates into Spirit World lingo for "Demons too powerful for us to handle," and Kurama claims that such demons are rather offended by being classed in a ranking system when there is no way to comprehend their power. Raizen clearly was one of those demons who transcended the ranking system as old comrades/rivals speak of him in his prime with awe and reverence, that he was the most powerful demon alive in their era, and is arguably the most powerful demon that has ever lived—if the Two Kings that rival Raizen's kingdom saw Raizen fight in his prime they would "piss their pants," showcasing that only Raizen's self-imposed weakness has kept this cold war going. | |

Capitalism Is Bad | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_8b60a09b | comment |
Capitalism Is Bad: Though in this case it's plutocrats pissing on demons rather than the poor. During the Dark Tournament arc, demons fight against each other in order to get a wish granted by the human-run committee and to entertain their immoral human sponsors as they casually gamble large amounts of money. When the human businessmen aren't gathering them for the Dark Tournament, they summoned (via human psychics), captured, and bought demons to be kept as slaves (of whom some female demons are implied to be kept as Sex Slaves). One businessman in particular, Gonzo Tarukane (the founder of the Black Book Club), kidnapped the innocent snow maiden Yukina due to her tears producing rare jewels and tortured her physically and emotionally to get them and sell them. In the absolute worst case, the Black Book Club tortured and slaughtered the demons in their possession to bathe in their blood as part of the Festival of Vices to entertain themselves. In the succeeding Chapter Black arc, Shinobu Sensui used all of the aforementioned actions that occurred via capitalism to make his case as to why humans deserved to be wiped off the face of the Earth. | |

Overshadowed by Awesome: Kuwabara is an extremely powerful individual in his own right, but his actual combat intelligence and physical power leave him as the least powerful member of the core four characters. In the Dark Tournament saga, he loses more fights than he wins. However, what he lacks in one-on-one combat he makes up for in extremely powerful spiritual awareness (made clear early in the series) and also develops some techniques that keep him useful (his dimension-cutting sword even makes him the pivotal element during Sensui's saga). | |

Death or Glory Attack | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_9446f847 | comment |
The first time Hiei fights on the good guys' side, he slashes up the guy that pissed him off before his opponent could even start to attack. Most of Hiei's battles are like that: Hiei's first battle in the Dark Tournament takes a few minutes because he doesn't attack, then he incinerates his FIRE USER foe; later in the Dark Tournament, Hiei faces Makintaro and cuts his arm off the very moment the referee starts the match, and when Makintaro insists on fighting Hiei finishes him with a blade in the brain; against Bui, the two play a little, then, after Bui apparently wins by throwing his Death or Glory Attack back at him, Hiei unveils that such an action only powered him up and defeats Bui with a POKE and a punch; Hiei's "battle" with Sniper consists of Hiei appearing from nowhere and piercing him with his blade; also, Hiei's battle with Sensui, only this time Hiei is on the receiving side. Hiei isn't exactly a Fragile Speedster, but he can't take a punch as well as most of the team, and can easily attack someone's vitals, so the only question is which side of the Curb-Stomp Battle he's on. | |

Can't Catch Up | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_94d2506d | comment |
Can't Catch Up: Even Yusuke suffers this after the Dark Tournament. After training with Genkai in the lead up to the tournament and getting progressively stronger during it, by the time of the semi-finals, he seems to realize he is unable to catchup to Toguro, who is still significantly more powerful than him. It takes Genkai giving him all her saved up power, and Yusuke thinking Kuwbara was killed to defeat Toguro, and even that isn't enough to defeat Sensui in the following arc. Kuwabara zig-zags the trope. He is never one of the more powerful fighters and actually loses more than wins in the Dark Tournament (one time being teleported out of the ring by the same basic ability, used by two different fighters). But he has enough pluck and his spirit awareness continually manifests new abilities that keep him relevant and helpful even though, strictly speaking, he is far from the most powerful fighter. He does seem to surpass Kurama and Hiei by the end of the Chapter Black arc, as he remains standing while the other two are blown clean off their feet by Sensui's aura, but then he quits training to focus on school. By the finale of the series, he's strong enough to be able to beat B class ranked Demons with no issues, but by then all three of his comrades are at least around the strength of an S class Demon. | |

Take a Third Option | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: This happens quite a few times over the course of the series. Doctor Kamiya uses his powers to infect the city with a horrible plague. He informs Yusuke that the plague will disappear if he dies or is knocked unconscious, since he is maintaining it with his powers. Doctor turns out to Feel No Pain, making it impossible to knock him out. Doctor orders him to choose: break his Thou Shalt Not Kill creed, or watch as the innocent people die horribly. Yusuke punches him into the sky, knocking him out of range and unable to maintain the plague. The trope doesn't apply uncut. In the uncut version, Yusuke actually does land a blow that stops his heart, but Genkai revives him with a chest compression. Still, it's enough to break his psychic territory, and although Yusuke is relieved Doctor Kamiya was revived, Genkai assures him that in his case (a policeman's dilemma), deadly force was justified. The demon Raizen attempted to devour a beautiful human woman who worked as a medic, only to discover that she had incorporated all manner of poisons into her body. The doctor calmly says that if Raizen devours her he'll die within hours, and adds that, whether he tries to kill her or not, not eating her would destroy his pride as a man-eater. So between eating her at the cost of his life or not eating her at the cost of his pride, he chose to seduce her, which is how they became Yusuke's ancestors. After Hiei's soul gets taken away at the beginning of the Chapter Black arc. Kaito explains that they have two options. Kuwabara decides that they have a third option. To leave Hiei behind and move on without him. This option isn't viable for Kaito however. | |

A major character point with regards to the Big Bad Younger Toguro. He used to be human but was so afraid of getting older he sold his soul to become virtually immortal (he later saw immortality to be boring and so sought for a fighter strong enough to kill him). | |

Shapeshifter Weapon: Roto can turn one of his middle fingers into a scythe. Makintaro can turn one of his arms into an axe. Elder Toguro plays this trope straight and subverted. He not only loves to turn his body parts into pointy things to stab people with but also transforms his entire self into weapons for his brother to use. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Sensui, who's also a Nietzsche Wannabe, a Fallen Hero, and a Dark Messiah... Less obviously, Toguro, who is what Yusuke would become if he decided to go completely Blood Knight and forget about what he's actually fighting for. Karasu can be one for Kurama; being a Soft-Spoken Sadist who keeps his cool (for the most part) and is the Evil Genius of his own group as Kurama is The Smart Guy of his. They also both have Animal Motifs; Kurama is a kitsune demon, and Karasu has a crow image going on. The difference between them is that while Kurama is genuinely friendly and shows some respect and regret over killing his more worthwhile opponents, Karasu is a pure Sadist who enjoys torturing his prey under a Faux Affably Evil facade. | |

Eldritch Location: Mushiori City, the hometown where Asato Kido, Yuu Kaito, Mitsunari Yanagisawa, and Shigeru Murota lives, became the doorway to the Demon Realm within the Chapter Black Saga. Due to the opening of the gateway, a good amount of ordinary civilians who inhabit the city would manifest super powers and evolve into Human Psychics. Members of The Sensui Seven are also made of people from this city, but used their newly gained super powers for ill intentions. Large amounts of demons would also start to show up and fly around the city, with demons of smaller ranks visible to only those who can see; just the sight of it can be really terrifying. | |

Foreshadowing | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The final round of the Dark Tournament is foreshadowed fight by fight in Team Urameshi's first round against Team Rokuyukai. Kurama: Has an obvious advantage at the start of both fights (as Suichi vs Roto and as Yoko vs Karasu) but loses it for unexpected reasons. While his sadistic opponent toys with him, Kurama keeps his cool and devises a plan. By distracting both Roto and Karasu and planting a seed in their bodies, Kurama snatches victory from defeat and reduces both his opponents to demon plant fertilizer. Hiei: Is evenly matched to start against Zeru and Bui, but both opponents land a strong blow that appears to utterly destroy Hiei. Instead Hiei not only survives through sheer badassery but counters with his ultimate technique that soundly defeats his opponent. Kuwabara: Fights physically weaker opponents Rinku and Elder Toguro but has some difficulty hitting their body and/or his vital organs. Eventually the opponents suspend Kuwabara in the air through some rope or tentacle attack and throw Kuwabara to the ground. Despite this, Kuwabara fights through the pain but fails to kill his opponents. Yusuke: Fights an all-around strong and able warrior in the form of Chuu and Toguro. Yusuke and his opponent reveal surprise after surprise and many secret techniques. The fight inevitably boils down to a no-holds-bar, winner-take-all confrontation where both warriors use every ounce of their strength to decide a winner. During the final match against Toguro, Yusuke's spirit energy takes the form of a giant bird and flies around the stadium before it settles back into him, foreshadowing the form Puu (who is a representation of Yusuke's spirit) will eventually take. Puu also settles down around Yusuke right after taking that form, just like the energy did. When Koenma tells Yusuke that Sensui's tunnel to the demon world is going to open much sooner than he originally thought, Yusuke decides to run to the cave and take on the psychics right now. Koenma can be heard screaming "I don't need another rogue agent" in the background before the communication device is shut off. From the same episode, Kaito claims that Demon's Door (the cave where the tunnel is being "built") is "where scorned lovers go to die". This is likely referring to Itsuki's relationship with Sensui. In the House of Four Dimensions, Kurama and Kaito engage in a contest of wits within Kaito's territory for the team's dislodged souls. Yanagisawa, as a bystander in Kaito's territory, realizes he shouldn't even risk laughing since uttering the wrong sound could trigger the taboo and remove his own soul. Kurama's strategy to defeat Kaito turns out to be making him laugh. Another one involving Kaitou: when he first appears, he (pretending to be evil) forces the heroes into a battle of wits in his psychic territory, where failure has a horrible price. Though the others are unable to beat him, Kurama eventually wins by getting inside his head and exploiting his weaknesses — introducing the fact that psychics have to play by the same rules in their territories as everyone else. Kurama is ultimately forced to deal with the same situation again, with far more deadly results, against Gamemaster, and wins in much the same way — while the things they learned against Kaito come back as tragic rather than triumphant. Suzaku repeatedly accuses Yusuke of being inhuman, due to the amount of power and determination Yusuke shows trying to take him down. With Suzaku's dying breath, he admits he was wrong, and that Yusuke's power was due to his humanity, and the desperate strength he draws from his emotions. Suzaku is actually correct, in that Yusuke has distant demon ancestry, something that only comes out more than a hundred episodes later. During the battle against Kaitou in the House of Four Dimensions, Kurama utters this line when Kaitou contemplates out loud what it would do to his soul's color to damage one of the souls he's taken: "I'm warning you. If you so much as bruise what's in your hand, I will show you pain. The hue of your soul will cease to matter because you will not be judged when you die; you will no longer exist." Kurama hints his ability to subject his opponent to A Fate Worse Than Death, which he puts into action against Elder Toguro. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: This being a shounen series, of course, practically every single character absorbs insane amounts of punishment, though usually offenses that produce cutting force seem much more effective at putting people down. Kuwabara especially: being not as agile or as quick as Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei are, he tends to get hit a lot in his fights, which does little if anything to shorten them; no matter how many of his bones you break he just takes it and gets back up for more. This is justified in the Dark Tournament by Rishu, who says that a normal human's body would have died by that point but Kuwabara had been subconsciously using his spirit energy to keep his body alive. He frequently deals out such nasty hits that one foe literally ran away from him at the prospect of pummeling him over and over again to no effect while attempting to dodge his Reiken (Spirit Sword) for another thirty minutes. A more literal example, Gouki almost literally claiming his skin is as hard as steel. | |

Traumatic Superpower Awakening | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_9d61fd2c | comment |
Traumatic Superpower Awakening: During the climactic final battle of the Dark Tournament arc, Toguro reasons if he kills one of Yusuke's friends, it'll create one for Yusuke. He ends up being right, although his attack is non-lethal and Kuwabara actually fakes his death. Yusuke, unable to defeat Sensui, thinks that if he dies fighting Sensui, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama will have one that will give them the edge to defeat him. When Yusuke does die, all three do indeed awaken some form of a power-up and attack Sensui. They're all promptly defeated anyway, because the simple fact is he's still leagues stronger than them; a simple power-up from The Power of Friendship won't just automatically make you stronger than the enemy. | |

Flight | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_9e0b9695 | comment |
Flight: Sensui's Seikoki (Sacred Energy) allows him to fly as an angel, which is also why he's also called "Black Angel". Earlier in the series, there's Jin, who controls and shapes wind to make whirlwinds and other various tricks. Flight is as natural to him as walking. In the same tournament, there's Bui, who is the first in the series shown to fly with nothing but his energy. Sensui shows that he can fly just before his fight with Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara, and Yusuke gains this ability on becoming a demon. They then have the series' first aerial battle. During the Three Kings saga, numerous high-level demons demonstrate the ability, including the five out of the Dark Tournament Six who weren't Jin; clearly it comes naturally with a high enough power level. | |

However after Toguro shows that he took a dive in their first encounter, reveals that Yusuke, along with Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei, have been invited to join the Dark Tournament and refusing would be a very bad idea via a demonstration of his strength by utterly totaling the parking lot they're talking in with just a fraction of his power. Yusuke realizes that this matter is extremely serious and willingly goes back to Genkai, fully intent to put his all into his training this time to boost his power so that he can survive what's to come. | |

Secret-Keeper | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_9f970427 | comment |
Secret-Keeper: Most of the main, and supporting cast who partook in the case of rescuing Yukina holds the knowledge of Hiei and Yukina being at least, blood siblings. As to the deeper information in regards to the siblings are in fact, twin siblings depends on how wide the information was circulated between the keepers. Shigure is the first to know of Hiei's background as basis to review whether Hiei's worthy of receiving the Jagan implant. Once approved, Hiei's disbursement for Shigure's service was to not reveal his relationship (directly) towards Yukina. Therefore, even if people revealed his relationship to Yukina, Hiei would more than likely deny it. Mukuro knew Hiei's entire background due to not only Shigure being her direct subordinate, but also by her fascination towards Hiei; to the point of holding on to Hiei’s tear gem necklace until the day she met him in person. Given Hiei being a charged criminal, along in handling Yukina's abduction case, Koenma without a doubt understands the siblings’ entire background. But as to how deep he let Jorge and Botan (who’s infamous for her unkept tongue) in on the information remains hanging. Shizuru and Botan knows Hiei and Yukina are blood siblings due to being present when Yusuke was receiving his commission tape from Koenma, and sat through the entire video. Shizuru’s brother Kazuma lost the knowledge due to storming out of the house love stucked before the info was presented within the video. Shizuru by default, doesn’t budge in on spiritual cases, nor cause any commotion in the presence of friends without any spiritual awareness (such as Keiko). Hiei lied to Yusuke that Yukina and himself are half-siblings with different mothers. Kurama knew Hiei and Yukina are twins given the scene where Hiei attempted to ask Kurama the favor of returning Yukina’s tear gem necklace back to her. | |

The tree will not let go or stop until the victim's life force is drained, and as Elder Toguro has nearly unlimited regenerative powers, he will be forever bound, unable to die due to his own healing power. | |

Awkwardly Gay Dream | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_a2b5f77d | comment |
Awkwardly Gay Dream: When Yuusuke is trying to come back from the dead, but needs someone to kiss him in order to transfer a spark of life energy to "jump start" him, Kuwabara gets a dream in which he does just that. It gets better: Yusuke had to provide the dream himself (as a ghost, he could communicate through the dreams of the living, and Kuwabara is extremely susceptible. Yusuke did this to help him study for a test once). The kiss has to be from one of the three people who care about him the most — who turn out to be his mother, his not-quite-girlfriend Keiko, and Kuwabara, who was a big time Antagonist in Mourning. Yusuke was horrified, but he did it anyway. Kuwabara thought it was a hellish nightmare, kissing Yusuke's dead body. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: The original black and white manga had the four main fighters all with dark hair. Yusuke and Hiei retain the dark hair for all color depictions (Yusuke has blue-ish highlights and Hiei has white highlights), while Kuwabara consistently has red hair in color depictions (it's been stated that this reflects attempts by Japanese kids to try and dye their hair blonde themselves, which typically turns red instead). Beyond that there are significant differences on color. Color Jump pages (while admittedly a limited, sober palette) have Kurama with black hair. Togashi's own color illustrations sometimes also depict Kurama with violet hair instead of black (most notably on the second kanzenban cover), and he vacillates between having Botan as blue-haired or blonde. The anime settled on going with blue hair for Botan. Genkai and Koenma are blond in some of the colored artwork for the manga, with Koenma's uniform being green instead of purple. | |

Election Day Episode: The final story arc features an invocation of this. While this isn't an election in a conventional sense (as there are no ballots of any kind cast), but the Tournament for the Kingship of Demon world is referred to by Yusuke Urameshi as being a "Presidential election where we cast our votes with our fists". | |

Infinity +1 Sword: a non-video game version but given that Kuwabara's dimensional sword can cut space and dimensions, it's heavily implied that his sword can cut through anything or anyone regardless of how durable or strong. Hell, his dimensional sword was the only thing that Sensui had to actively avoid rather than tank like he had been doing to Hiei and Kurama's attacks. | |

Rule of Three: Universe-wise, there are three main worlds separated dimensionally: The human world, the spirit world, and the Makai world; the latter in turn has three major rulers: Mukuro, Yomi, and Raizen ( when the latter one dies, a tournament is run to decide who will rule all three worlds). Averted in the second movie, where it's revealed that there is actually a fourth world. On a smaller scale, the three treasures (called "Artifacts of Darkness") the youkai trio (Gouki, Kurama and Hiei) steal in the second arc: the orb of Baast, the Shadow Sword and the Forlorn Hope mirror. | |

Karasu can be one for Kurama; being a Soft-Spoken Sadist who keeps his cool (for the most part) and is the Evil Genius of his own group as Kurama is The Smart Guy of his. They also both have Animal Motifs; Kurama is a kitsune demon, and Karasu has a crow image going on. The difference between them is that while Kurama is genuinely friendly and shows some respect and regret over killing his more worthwhile opponents, Karasu is a pure Sadist who enjoys torturing his prey under a Faux Affably Evil facade. | |

Save the Villain: Subverted when Kurama tries to convince an almost dead Gama to use his energy to heal his wounds instead of keeping the seal he put on him, to the point of saying he is very skilled and doesn't deserve to die in the Dark Tournament. Gama instead uses his blood to completely seal Kurama's energy and make his next fight much harder, dying shortly afterwards. Also subverted with Yusuke, who is only able to defeat Sensui due to Raizen briefly possessing him and comes to his senses right after shooting a giant Spirit Gun as the coup-de-grâce, after which he screams for Sensui to run away from it, to no avail. After learning about the possession, Yusuke is very upset because he wanted to defeat Sensui with his own power. Kuwabara, on the other hand, was more successful. After being ambushed by Seaman, one of Sensui's henchmen, Kuwabara barely wins the fight and drags the villain back with him to Yusuke & co. to be patched up. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Of course, Yusuke's second death led to him being revived as an insanely-powerful demon hybrid that later defeated Sensui. During the Dark Tournament, Elder Toguro could have easily killed Kuwabara in a single attack, and he wouldn't have even seen it coming. However, he instead chooses to Mind Rape him by telling him that Genkai has been dead for two days and his friends hadn't told him, and that allows Kuwabara to find the strength to defeat Elder Toguro for Genkai's honor. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_b0cd3349 | comment |
Potentially a case of Fridge Brilliance as well. Sensui isn't stated to have any sort of time-warping powers but if there was some way to actually allow a human to view all of that footage in such an abbreviated period of time (that still left it comprehensible, as merely speeding it up with technology would turn anything that long into nothing but visual noise) that experience would certainly drive just about anyone completely and utterly insane. Given the power and resources of the villains in question this isn't an implausible solution to the problem, even if it probably was just normal writer error. | |

Atrocity Montage: Chapter Black is a supernatural videotape containing all of humanity's worst atrocities displayed one after the other.

Abusive Parents: Mukuro's father is a more direct example of downright evil treatment. Yusuke's mother Atsuko is not exactly devoted. She's an alcoholic who neglects, beats, and screams at him (no wonder he became a street punk in the first place). And on top of that, she leaves her son's dead body surrounded by loads and loads of trash, which nearly gets burned in an arson. Despite this, the trope is subverted as she still loves him in her own warped way and actually grieves for him when he died the first time. | |

The trope doesn't apply uncut. In the uncut version, Yusuke actually does land a blow that stops his heart, but Genkai revives him with a chest compression. Still, it's enough to break his psychic territory, and although Yusuke is relieved Doctor Kamiya was revived, Genkai assures him that in his case (a policeman's dilemma), deadly force was justified. | |

Coming of Age Story | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_b1e8a3b3 | comment |
Coming of Age Story: The ending to the second-to-last episode and essentially the main point to the whole Three Kings Arc is this, as George/the Narrator so explains. Supposedly, now that Yusuke is done kicking ass in Demon World, his next adventure is to allow himself to "grow up". There are also other sprinklings and hints of the "coming of age" theme throughout the series. Though mainly adhering to Yusuke, this applies to Kuwabara and Keiko as well. In-Universe, it's implied that carrying the role of Spirit Detective was this for Kuroko Sanada, as well. She started training for the job while fourteen and rather obese, and through building her skills (and attaining a sudden growth spurt), managed to slim down into something resembling a young, female Sensui, which then led to a pretty successful run on the job. After accomplishing quite a bit during her tenure, she chose to retire so that she could move on and form a family of her own. | |

Not Afraid of Hell | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_b27e39b1 | comment |
Not Afraid of Hell: Toguro the Younger is given multiple options by Koenma as his sentence after he dies in the Dark Tournament Arc. Technically its not Hell, but his choice of Limbo implies this, as his sentence involves an unimaginable period of pain and suffering that even Koenma seems to think is severe given the circumstances. | |

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: The Earth realm is a much smaller place in terms of size and durability. Most of the Demons seen on earth only range from E-C class. While they are dangerous to humans they are small fries at best and living targets at worst for higher level demons in the demon world where the strongest can casually erase mountains with a wave of their hand. | |

Glowing Eyes of Doom | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_b85c06f2 | comment |
Glowing Eyes of Doom: Yusuke gets these several times; once during his fight with Suzaku when he's about to use up all his life energy to win, once while glaring at Younger Toguro from the stands of the Dark Tournament, and occasionally thereafter while powering up or in the middle of a particularly intense fight — especially when, at the end of the Chapter Black saga, he is taken over by his ancestor, Raizen, shortly after being killed and returning to life as a demon. Where before Yusuke's Glowing Eyes Of Doom have always been blue, these are red, possibly to signify either his new demonic nature or the foreign presence in his body. Also Sensui when he releases his sacred energy does it in an eerie and gradual way, followed by a powerful laugh that literally stresses the planet as he powers up. | |

He also shows more heroic tendencies when dealing with Kurama and Mukuro.

Xanatos Gambit: Sensui sets up 11-year-old Amanuma so that the only way the heroes can advance is to kill him. If they let him live, the Makai Tunnel opens without a hitch, and Sensui can die happily. If they kill him (which they do), Sensui knows that Koenma will feel guilty and drain his energy resurrecting the kid, thereby rendering him unable to defeat Sensui, and the Makai Tunnel still opens without a hitch and Sensui dies happily. Either way he buys himself time. It's implied that Mr. Akashi was hoping Kuwabara would hit him for changing his test to give him a failing grade, so that even if his deception came to light, Kuwabara would still have violated his end of the bargain. | |

Big Bad Wannabe | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: Gonzou Tarukane. While he is dangerous thanks to his wealth and his connections (being the founder of the Black Black Club, and hiring various demons and humans to do his dirty work), he overestimates his chances of winning, loses everything when Younger Toguro is defeated, and doesn't compare well to most of the antagonists in the series. It doesn't help that the Toguro Bros. were actually working for the real Big Bad, who had caused him to lose his money, and that they end up killing him after this is revealed. Some of the arc villains in the Dark Tournament are pretty haughty, but end up getting taken out with relative ease. Most notably are Shishiwakamaru and Suzuki from Team Uraotogi, who are each primed to be intimidating foes, yet each lose easily to a severely weakened Genkai. Also, Risho of Team Masho, who takes particular glee in the potential of taking victory over Team Urameshi, even though it would mostly be by technicality (Genkai and Hiei were kept at bay with a trap from outside the ring and Yusuke by a bogus call from the Tournament Committee; Kurama didn't actually lose — he won both of his fights, and Butajiri just fixed it so Bakken got to beat on his unconscious body). Then comes Kuwabara, who — despite suffering from crippling injuries — easily wipes the floor with Risho once he realizes Yukina is watching the fight. | |

Large and in Charge: Younger Toguro in Team Toguro. Chu is the actual leader (and the strongest member) of Team Rokuyukai, having been demoted to substitute due to losing a rock-paper-scissors match with the rest of the team. Topaz in Team Spirit Warriors. In the anime, he even kills a member of his own team after he disobeys his order to stop attacking Yusuke outside of the tournament. Averted by Bakken in Team Masho. Despite being the biggest member, he's not only a non-leader but also the weakest of the team. Played straight and subverted by Dr. Ichigaki, the leader of Team Ichigaki. In his normal form, he's very short and doesn't even fight, but becomes giant and hulking when unleashed. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_c88b1139 | comment |
Dub Text: Mostly with Itsuki. Some of his lines are completely made up. The bit about stalking Sensui (etc.) was neither in the manga nor in the Japanese version of the anime. Toguro and Genkai's relationship 50 years ago got a Relationship Upgrade from the manga and original Japanese in the dub. In the dub, Ura Urashima has a different made-up excuse in his ruse against Kurama, telling him he joined Team Uraotogi to provide money for his sick grandmother. | |

Shigure is the first to know of Hiei's background as basis to review whether Hiei's worthy of receiving the Jagan implant. Once approved, Hiei's disbursement for Shigure's service was to not reveal his relationship (directly) towards Yukina. Therefore, even if people revealed his relationship to Yukina, Hiei would more than likely deny it. | |

"Test Your Strength" Game: Yusuke and Kuwabara go to Genkai as she's holding exams to find out who will become her student. The second part of the exam involved playing some arcades to secretly gauge their spirit energy, one of which is a punching machine. We see Yusuke get a high score when he plays it, much to Kuwabara's chagrin. | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady: During the final chapters of the manga, the usually calm Kurama is mistaken as a girl (more exactly, everyone thinks he's Kuwabara's girlfriend), which really gets under his skin. Later, Keiko and Yusuke ask him to infiltrate a girls-only school to help them solve a case, and he nearly snaps on them. | |

Byakko destroys them one by one, forcing Kuwabara to use his sword to pole vault to Byakko's platform and use the momentum to take Byakko into the lava with him. He ends up being saved at the last moment by his abdominal bandage being stuck in the border of the platform. | |

It's almost comical how Byakko manages to survive not one but two near-death experiences against Kuwabara, with the latter expressing particular shock that the beast was able to survive getting pushed into molten lava. That said, Seiryu is quick to kill him off for real after deeming him a disgrace to the villains. | |

Lighter and Softer: The Three Kings Tournament compared to the Dark Tournament, since there's virtually no gory, fatal injuries this time around, and only one participant actually dies, committing ritualistic suicide after calmly admitting defeat. Yusuke made it this way by design, since one of the rules is that anyone who kills their opponent is disqualified, resulting in a tournament where almost everyone walks away in one piece, and a few friendships are formed between some of the opponents. | |

Muscles Are Meaningless | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_cf9b131f | comment |
Muscles Are Meaningless: Played straight and subverted. Kurama and Genkai possess enormous physical strength but both are fairly thin and lean. Bakken is the biggest member of Team Masho (and also Covered with Scars), but is by far the weakest member of the team. Each time Toguro powers up, his musculature increases and each of his common levels — 20%, 30%, 45%, 60%, 80% — give him a relatively identifiable build and power to match. What's odd is that when Toguro powers up completely, Kurama even says, "The structure of those muscles... ingenious." And then absolutely no character around or above Toguro's level follows suit. Unlike a lot of shonen, the general build of each character does not change as they become stronger. In fact, with the exception of Toguro the size of one's muscles has no bearing on actual strength. Explained by Genkai that the physical body has its limitations, but the augmentation of spirit power to their body is crucial and allows one who masters it access to higher physical power than any muscles can release. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: The manga starts out as an episodic comedy about Yusuke as a ghost, along with Botan, trying to help the living with their problems. After a couple volumes of this, it abruptly shifts into shonen action mode. This gets far fewer complaints from fans than many Cerebus Syndrome victims, however, because most fans know the series from the anime adaptation, which skips the comedic stories from the manga and rushes ahead to the action portion. During the final arc the show suddenly becomes less action oriented and for the first time focuses on how the events actually affect Yusuke and the gang's everyday lives, suddenly showing several episodes filled with lots of character development and quiet drama as opposed to high speed punching and explosions. However the Chapter Black story particularly stands out, with numerous on-screen fatalities of normal humans, an innocent woman being graphically mutilated by Doctor, Gourmet eating Murota on-screen, to say nothing of his own gruesome decapitation at Kurama's hands, the death of Gamemaster, who is an 11-year-old boy who doesn't truly comprehend what he's mixed up in all set against the backdrop of Team Urameshi trying to prevent the apocalypse. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Chapter Black, a video documenting every single evil act in the entire history of humanity, is said to run for thousands of hours and Sensui forces the human psychics to watch every second of it in order to drive them insane. However, even if we take a very strict definition of an "evil act" that excludes small cases of cruelty the total time of that compilation should quickly add up to absurd numbers. Consider that every hour something worthy of the tape probably happens somewhere on Earth, so even before considering these things happening simultaneously we can already assume a length of however many years humans have existed. Once you do factor in each act committed by each individual human the true length of Chapter Black is suddenly measured in thousands of thousands of years. Even just a single war (which the tape is explicitly stated to document every act in all of them) stretches out to an amount of time literally too long for any human to possibly comprehend. There is simply no physically possible way any of the young adults claiming to have seen the entire thing could possibly have done that. Potentially a case of Fridge Brilliance as well. Sensui isn't stated to have any sort of time-warping powers but if there was some way to actually allow a human to view all of that footage in such an abbreviated period of time (that still left it comprehensible, as merely speeding it up with technology would turn anything that long into nothing but visual noise) that experience would certainly drive just about anyone completely and utterly insane. Given the power and resources of the villains in question this isn't an implausible solution to the problem, even if it probably was just normal writer error. | |

Drunken Master | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_da484c4a | comment |
Drunken Master: Chu becomes more dangerous after taking a swig of Ogre Killer. Taken to whole new levels when his most powerful attack actually involves mixing his energy with alcohol to make an energy ball powerful enough that two shots of Yusuke's Spirit Gun couldn't equal it. The first shot weakened the attack and the second shot burst through it, punching a hole in the middle, but not stopping it. He also has a special kind of alcohol that... well... induces vomiting. Once he's emptied his stomach, he gets drunk even faster, which summons more of his demonic energy for him to use. | |

Thanatos Gambit | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_db71d717 | comment |
Thanatos Gambit: Gama has just received deep cuts from Kurama's Rose Whip, is losing a lot of blood and is on the verge of dying. Despite that, he still throws a few more punches that are easily avoided; this seems like a desperate and silly move until he reveals that his special makeup, with which he had painted seals in Kurama's arms and legs to make them way heavier and thus harder to move, is made from his blood and the punches were just a way to paint another seal, this time to suppress Kurama's entire energy for ten minutes and make his next fight much more difficult. Sensui's true goal was to open a portal to the Makai so that he could be killed by a demon stronger than him, to atone for all the demons he had mercilessly killed as a Spirit Detective. | |

Flexible Tourney Rules: Boy, are they ever — and intentionally. The Dark Tournament is done as a commercial gig, so teams are allowed to negotiate their own rules and conditions for a match, which adds some variety to the proceedings and makes for a better show. And that's leaving aside the Tournament Committee twisting the rules when bribed. | |

During the Dark Tournament arc, demons fight against each other in order to get a wish granted by the human-run committee and to entertain their immoral human sponsors as they casually gamble large amounts of money. When the human businessmen aren't gathering them for the Dark Tournament, they summoned (via human psychics), captured, and bought demons to be kept as slaves (of whom some female demons are implied to be kept as Sex Slaves). One businessman in particular, Gonzo Tarukane (the founder of the Black Book Club), kidnapped the innocent snow maiden Yukina due to her tears producing rare jewels and tortured her physically and emotionally to get them and sell them. In the absolute worst case, the Black Book Club tortured and slaughtered the demons in their possession to bathe in their blood as part of the Festival of Vices to entertain themselves. | |

Last-Name Basis | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_e28f88b8 | comment |
Last-Name Basis: Nearly everyone except Yusuke who has an established surname is referred to almost exclusively by that instead of their given name by the other characters (and even for Yusuke, he's still mostly called "Urameshi" by anyone who isn't Keiko, Botan, Kurama, Genkai or Koenma). Kuwabara is the most obvious example, but it's so prevalent that the fact that when hiding his true demon name Kurama tends to go by his human alter ego's given name Shuichi instead of his surname is almost surprising. | |

Cast Full of Pretty Boys: The True Companions' gender ratio is pretty much 50/50 — somewhat skewed by Atsuko and George Saotome, though — but the only girls who really get any spotlight and character development are Genkai and Mukuro. The others have their moments, but the guys are pretty much the focus of the show. There aren't many female villains, either. | |

The "Fun" in "Funeral": Zig Zagging. Yusuke attends his own funeral as a ghost. To his disgust, he finds that some of his classmates are laughing and smiling, causing him to think that they only came just to get extra credit. Then he sees Keiko crying over his death, and Kuwabara mourning over his death and commenting that he was supposed to be there for him. Then he notices Iwamoto and Akashi, who seem to be rather glad that he was already dead. But Mr. Takanaka confronts the two, and proceeds inside their house. He follows him, and seems to be a little bit surprised to see the teacher mourn his death. He also sees his mother doing the same. The kid whom he saved is also there with his mother, and as they leave the kid tells his mother that he was really a nice guy even though some people there were angry at him. Seeing how much he's missed by his childhood friend Keiko, his mother, his rival Kuwabara, and his principal gives him the resolve necessary to go through some difficult ordeals to get himself resurrected. | |

11th-Hour Superpower: Happens twice in the same fight. Yusuke dies when fighting Sensui, but his ancestral demonic blood resurrects him and boosts his power. It is revealed that he is a Mazoku, or a descendant of a demon clan (the Amazaku demons in the English dub), his ancestor Raizen having conceived a child with a human woman. Even with his new demon energy, he still cannot defeat Sensui until he is possessed by Raizen (his demon ancestor) to help control his newfound power. | |

YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: In the manga, it turns out the reports of demon attacks were not only greatly exaggerated, they were set up and the "evil" demons were brainwashed to behave that way, THEN were captured and executed before they could talk. When Yusuke wondered how many innocent demons he may have captured, Kurama advised him to "better not think about that". This plot element was cut out in the anime. | |

Clothing Damage | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_e61d9a3c | comment |
Clothing Damage: Yusuke pretty much loses his upper clothing in almost all of his major fights. His opponents sometimes do as well. Taken to its logical extreme in his fight against Yomi, where after taking a volley of energy blasts, his shirt explodes off his body. Not a fiery one, mind you, but still. This is flat out pointed out in the actor's commentary for the episode where Justin Cook and co. discuss the characters' tendency to lose their shirts right before the aforementioned shirt explosion. They then wonder what the characters' pants are made of to prevent them from being destroyed as well. It may be justified by the fact that in a fight, attacks will tend to be focused on the torso and head. Hiei's shirt is usually either ripped off or thrown off by the end of most of his battles. Lampshaded by Koto (the announcer cat-girl): "Well, they've burned their skin, shortened their breath, and somehow lost their shirts. All in all, I'd call this a successful fight." | |

Battle Aura | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_e6eafde0 | comment |
Battle Aura: Seen several times in the Dark Tournament arc. Arc Villain Toguro at the higher reaches of his strength produces an aura which dissolves weaker demons. Of special note is Toguro's unwilling subordinate Bui, whose major power is literally and explicitly called Battle Aura; he uses it to fly and shoots pieces of it for attacks. The reason for Bui's insanely heavy armor is that Bui's raw power is greater than his fine control, and he can't turn the aura off. The armor acts a Power Limiter to keep his aura restrained until he decides to take his armor off. Becomes more common as the series goes on. Yusuke starts showing one in the Dark Tournament. The Chapter Black arc Big Bad's aura is so strong it physically prevents energy attacks from hitting him. Yusuke, Yomi, Mukuro, and Raizen's old friends each produce massive auras in the Demon World Tournament. | |

Barred from the Afterlife | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_e7f9c214 | comment |
Barred from the Afterlife: At the beginning, delinquent Yusuke dies saving a child from being hit by a car, which puts the Celestial Bureaucracy in a bind: He was scheduled to go to Hell, but his Heroic Sacrifice partly redeemed him... But not enough to qualify for Heaven. He ends up working for them fighting demons. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The entire series starts with one such moment; Yusuke is a selfish delinquent who doesn't give two hoots about how his actions affect others, only to make the ultimate act of selflessness and sacrifice his life to save a boy from being hit by a car. His peers and family still living are gobsmacked by this — as well as the afterlife's powers that be, who have no choice but to offer Yusuke a chance to go back to life, since not even they expected him to die by doing this kind of thing, and, as such, there's no place for him there. | |

Groin Attack: Episode 3 has Yusuke (in his ghost state) taking control of an unconscious young teenage schoolgirl's body so that he can protect Kuwabara who is on his way to school. During his fight against the school thugs that had tried to attack Kuwabara, Yusuke (in the body of the schoolgirl) is able to battle and defeat each of them with no problem and in the end, he delivers three groin kicks to the last thug before knocking him out with a hard right punch. Afterwards, Yusuke leaves the body of the young teenage schoolgirl, who is quite shocked to see what has transpired. | |

And then there's Kiyoshi Mitarai, who laughs and acts up like a jumped-up little egomaniac as he's trying to murder Kuwabara and his friends before we learn he has a Freudian Excuse, and he gets better. | |

Why Won't You Die? | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_ecac4c42 | comment |
Why Won't You Die?: It's almost comical how Byakko manages to survive not one but two near-death experiences against Kuwabara, with the latter expressing particular shock that the beast was able to survive getting pushed into molten lava. That said, Seiryu is quick to kill him off for real after deeming him a disgrace to the villains. Exactly what Elder Toguro says after being forced to fight an illusion of Kurama for the rest of his life — for all eternity, actually, since he can't die. | |

Shizuru and Botan knows Hiei and Yukina are blood siblings due to being present when Yusuke was receiving his commission tape from Koenma, and sat through the entire video. Shizuru’s brother Kazuma lost the knowledge due to storming out of the house love stucked before the info was presented within the video. Shizuru by default, doesn’t budge in on spiritual cases, nor cause any commotion in the presence of friends without any spiritual awareness (such as Keiko). | |

School Uniforms are the New Black: Before the Dark Tournament, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama would go everywhere in their school uniforms. This includes joining a contest to become the pupil of an Old Master in the mountains, attacking the castle of demons intending to take over the human world, and raiding the mansion of an evil rich guy to rescue a Mysterious Waif. Yusuke is an interesting example in that his "uniform" is not in fact the school uniform since he specifically wears the wrong color as a form of rebellion. | |

Thwarted Coup de Grâce: Rando uses the Shrinking Curse on an extremely energy-depleted and defenseless Yusuke, but he's Hoist by His Own Petard, being shrunken himself when Yusuke is revealed to having had his ears full of moss from falling in a swamp earlier in the fight; as Genkai explains after that, spoken curses have to be heard by the victim or they will turn on their users. Yusuke gets up and delivers an elbow drop to the shrunken Rando to defeat him. Karasu pins Kurama to the ground after exploding a field of energy bombs on him and delivers a final energy blast, but Kurama uses the last of his energy to create a vampire plant that pierces a previously inflicted wound in Karasu's chest and sucks his blood, killing him. | |

"On the Next Episode of..." Catch-Phrase: Yusuke's "The other world's not watching for nothing!", which can only be heard in every Japanese voiced preview with subs. This is also his victory line in many YuYu Hakusho video games. In the Latin American dub this line was replaced by Yusuke saying "Mi existencia ¡No será en vano!" (My existence won't be in vain!). In the Brazilian dub it became "Não conheci o outro mundo por querer!" (I never wished to know the other world!) | |

Darkest Hour: The Chapter Black arc is where the series takes a darker turn in general. Near the end of the arc, Sensui kills Yusuke (and Puu dies as a result). The tunnel to Demon World becomes complete. Yusuke's Heroic Sacrifice awakens greater power in his friends, who attempt to avenge his death in a three-on-one battle against Sensui, but fail nonetheless. At the end of the episode "Attempting Revenge", Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei fall helplessly before Sensui, knowing that even after their friend's sacrifice, they still failed him. | |

Running Gag: Several times Koenma has appeared right behind Yusuke (or below his line of sight, or in a form Yusuke doesn't recognize), speaking to and startling him in the process. Botan does this to Yusuke once as well. The entire gag got subverted toward the final matches of the Dark Tournament arc, where Yusuke's spirit energy/reiki level became powerful enough to enable him to detect Koenma's presence as soon as he turned up. Also Yukina being Hiei's sister. But Kuwabara doesn't know. The other characters like to poke fun at this. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_faece9aa | comment |
Yusuke, unable to defeat Sensui, thinks that if he dies fighting Sensui, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama will have one that will give them the edge to defeat him. When Yusuke does die, all three do indeed awaken some form of a power-up and attack Sensui. They're all promptly defeated anyway, because the simple fact is he's still leagues stronger than them; a simple power-up from The Power of Friendship won't just automatically make you stronger than the enemy. | |

Sparkling Stream of Tears: When Yukina cries, her tears literally become extremely expensive gems. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: Younger Toguro, who gets repeatedly more monstrous as he increases his power to 100%, and then keeps going. Subverted with Sensui, who was also conveniently nicknamed "Black Angel." | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Kuwabara when trying to beat up Miyuki, who, ironically, in the manga and uncensored anime, wasn't a girl. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
YuYu Hakusho (Manga) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: It's generally not a good idea to get the soft-spoken and outwardly friendly Kurama mad. Kuwabara is probably the friendliest in the group, and he's not to be trifled with, either, if you don't want a Jigen-tou through your chest... Yukina, of all people, when she reveals she was searching for her brother to remind him he promised to exterminate all the Koorime. | |
