To this day in 2019 I still look back at Kurama. A new TYPE of character that arrives on the scene and everyone immediately knew something was different about him that would separate him from future characters in any anime.

[@Ffeoli1039]

He's truly one of the best non main character (not that he's no important in the story, but he's just not Yusuke) He's so memorable and i love this as an introduction fight for him.

[@fireblast133]

I mean given his story it does set him apart. But then again this entire series tended to subvert the idea of what exactly a demon is. Goes from ‘well demons are monsters from another realm’ to ‘demons are people from another realm. You got good eggs and bad eggs in that case as well’

[@craig3240]

fireblast133 that’s definitely true. Being so young I remember being upset and confused just hearing him Yusuke and Kuwabara being called demons cause I was taught so hard demons were bad. But that expanded the lesson not all are bad and vice versa.

Leon definitely set the tone perfectly for him character and I think too memorable for anyone who watched the show (even just a few episodes) to forget him.

[@cartielsilver]

Kurama strategy is always involved in him getting wounded, I wonder if this is a physiological move on his opponents . ?

[@skylar8827]

I think it can be since in one of his fights (I don't remember which one) he says that giving the opponent a false sense of security and going for a suprise attack is a useful strategic move. Or something along these lines.

[@d-skullgaming696]

The other thing to note is that Kurama looks to understand his opponent's abilities before making his move. So, naturally, this will result in him getting hurt. Of course, to Kurama this is an acceptable risk.

[@missionpupa]

Nah, I think the idea is he needs to get wounded to further understand his opponent, the first few minutes of all his matches are him studying his opponent, he doesnt go on offense until he understands, so that involves him being on the defensive.

[@addaptinginthedark]

He also uses his fights as therapy.... "I have something to work through, sure I'll fight you please beat the shit out of me so I can figure it out. Though I will kill you once I'm done, kthx." + all the other stuff about assessing his opponents strengths that other people have said.

[@-CrimsoN-]

It's probably because he knows that demons will underestimate humans. So when Kurama is in his human form, he already has the advantage as his opponents will almost always immediately underestimate him. Even Yusuke underestimated him on countless occasions.

[@julierichardson3837]

[@justsomeguywithabeardx]

For me, Kurama was always the most intriguing character in the series. He's as strong as Yusuke and as cold as Hiei and he's smarter than almost anyone else in the series. Hiei cares about the quickest kill and Yusuke and Kuwabara aren't bothered by anything that comes after the win. But Kurama? He'll not only plant seedlings across the world millennia in advance just in case, but he'll also torture you into wishing for a quick end if you push his buttons. He's the most human character in the series, which is ironic when you realize he's the oldest and most demonically influential of the group.
