Yu Yu Hakusho has a special place in Brazilian hearts. Here in Brazil, this was one the first series that the voice actor were given more freedom to dub and improvise. Which resulted on a show full of Brazilian slang words and sayings that made watching this series all the more special for the people around here.

[@JDKT002]

I'm writing this before I watch the video: It's odd, the thing that stayed with me about this anime wasn't the over the top fights or fantastical world, though I love all of that. It was the very beginning of the series. A main character depicted as a nobody, an uncaring, self absorbed, angry delinquent who unfathomably sacrifices himself to save the life of a random child. Then there's the funeral scene. Where Yusuke is positive no one will be there, that no one cares that he died. Then, all the people he's convinced hate him, that he thinks will be happy hes gone, they are all at his funeral, and they are all genuinely grieving over his death. This is such a gut wrenching scene overall. But Kuwabara's reaction in particular (who until that point was depicted as an antagonistic bully), it is raw, and irrational. It's also one of the most emotionally honest reactions to death I've ever seen in an anime. This told you from the very beginning this wasn't a typical super power super hero anime. It told you that characters may not be what they seem at first. That their is nuance and dimensions. That the good guys aren't entirely pure and just, and that the villains may have redeeming qualities or sound reasons for doing what they do.

@marcos valdez-cruz "its a cartoon" When Manga and Anime are completely mainstream in Japan, it means their will be top tier story telling found within. Authors wanting to tell fantastical stories, impart knowledge of life and betterment, handling issues on wht ppl hav been through, etc. What ur implying wuld also mean the same thing for tv shows, movies, books, music videos, etc. Which implies tht u hav a very closed minded view of the world. Everyone wants to impart their views and exp onto the world. No matter the medium it is portrayed on. Hell most Western cartoons had good messages despite the silliness, b4 2010s. But its gotten more mind numbing lately for a quick buck, with only a few meaningful messages for kids.

[@umvr01]

I really agree, I remember at first putting a hold on this show back in 8th grade funny enough my basic mindset thought the show was superbly slow, but now a Sophomore in college done a bit of growing up decided to watch the show again and let me tell you... not only my 8th grade self was dead wrong but I was just so into the whole anime, the originality like you explained, its charm was not only the amazing plot and the most relatable likeable characters it was just so original by far making it a classic and surpass than any other mainstream anime I ever seen.

[@Daigon95]

@marcos valdez-cruz It is a cartoon. But ur implication on why u called it a "cartoon" meant u saw it as a near mindless entertainment medium to distract kids. When its actually just as viable as film, books, short stories, gaming to convey thoughts, teachings and feelings like any other entertainment medium.

[@aislingherron2726]

This is about to be a very personal comment and I’ve had too much alcohol but fuck it. I grew up with Yusuke at a time when I was living in a similar situation. I got to school and no one wants me there. I go home and no one wants me there. So I really relate to him and the way his irony and use of quips/humor are his main coping mechanisms, but then as he grows those very same things that saved him at the time are holding him back. His detachment saved him, but only for so long. How incredible for a shonen anime to understand that level of nuance in the mind of a teenager who grew up in such a bad situation. I love the way yusuke eschews apathy and recognizes his personal power and responsibility. It’s a dream for those of us who grew up in abuse and were mired in hopelessness, to find family, recognition and appreciation for the traits derided all of our lives. I’ll stand by this series my entire life and it really was lightning in a bottle. I appreciate that you recognize the power in yusuke and other characters actually sitting in their emotions, because that is an uncomfortable thing and television series are often afraid to let the audience breathe with the characters. Especially in such a male dominated genre. Kudos for acknowledging the power in allowing male characters to feel things.

[@localcurrency]

Couldn't agree more. The series is very close to home for me. Living wise and how i was brought up to kind of figure out my own path; trials and tribulations. But like Yusuke he opens himself up to others, friends and loved ones. He grows and really understands what he believes he feels is the best way to continue moving forward. The show is really something unique in that aspect of relation. How you mentioned its reslly incredible for Shonen to really recognize and not downplay that kind of mindset Yusuke begins and ends with.

[@calebokeefe376]

The ending of Yu Yu Hakusho is why I won't complain about Hunter X Hunter delays. I would rather the mangaka take his time getting to the ending he wants rather than rushing to an unsatisfying ending.

[@Ninja07Keaton]

The main reason Togashi ended Yu Yu Hakusho so abruptly was out of spite for his editors.

[@calebokeefe376]

Agreed, the spite was why it was abrupt. But the delays in HXH speaks to a better relationship with his editors now unless I'm just mistaken. I just view HXH delays as being for his health and general life balance. Maybe I'm being naive, I just don't ever expect a new chapter for that or Berserk and so when one comes out every year or so it's a wonderful treat lol.

[@Ninja07Keaton]

The reason for this is because his editors know that they need him more than the contrary. But like you said, it's water under the bridge, and Togashi now has a permanent slot in Shounen jump in spite of his hiatus tangents. Berserk returned last mouth, so everything should be fine within that regard, unless Miura decides to work on something else...again.

[@calebokeefe376]

Exactly why I'm harsher on Miura, I get that he's been working on the same title for what is it now? 30+ years? But the art and story are so detailed and beautifully layered I'll take what I can get too. I actually haven't minded the last couple of delays given where the story is I'm super excited to see what comes next month, I really enjoyed these last few chapters.

[@Avarn388]

The manga's ending wasn't very good. But the anime's ending; puts a smile on my face. Really, Yu-Yu Hakusho to me is like an aged-vine. It has the intrinsic trappings of a Shonen battle series, but offers enough flavors and character that make it stand out. It showcases Togashi's gift for writing characters and making them fleshed out and believable. And clearly, Togashi never fought this with Hunter X Hunter. Heck, he went the opposite direction and made it an adventure series and only recently became more battle-oriented. And that is so nice, to see a mangaka use his strengths in crafting an original series that isn't trying to shove down the same formula down our throats(cough, FT. cough, Rave Master. I love RM by the way).

[@KijoArts00]

The show is considered a popular classic in Japan to the point that they still release new yyh merchandise years after the anime and manga ended. In fact there's an anniversary event that's happening in Japan in 2017 that also includes a yyh cafe themed that will serve food inspired by the show. It surprises me that a show that ended in the 90s still has large events and merchandised released after over a decade it ended and is still popular enough to have events like this.

They had some good moments in the tournament arcs, but when Z started and the... non human villains started appearing, everyone other than Goku didn't do much and by the end of the buu arc, the were all irrelevant.

I had watched the first 40 or so episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho before I wasn't able to finish it for another 18 years of my life......

[@snowpocalypse69]

MrGladBEASTftw Yeah I'm pretty sure Kishimoto has directly admitted that his inspiration for Sasuke was Kurapika. Just like JJBA was Togashi's inspiration for the concept of territories in YYH

[@sirperybLakeney]

Hiei was the inspiration for the Sharingan but that was almost certainly created for Kakashi (and Obito) rather than for Sasuke. Kishimoto only added the element of a rival to Naruto on the insistence of his editor. Sasuke is actually based on Sasuke Sarutobi from the manga Sasuke by legendary mangaka Sanpei Shirato. In that manga he fights against the people who wiped out his clan and slew his mother. The character of Sasuke Sarutobi is popular in Japanese folklore and in another version, the anime called Manga Sasuke Sarutobi that ran when Kishimoto was a child, he has a girl companion with a big crush on him called Sakura... Here's some pictures of Sasuke from the Sanpei Shirato manga: www.ilbazardimari.net/wp-content/uploads/sasuke-piccolo-ninja-2.jpg www.oddmag.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/sasukewall1-.jpg The idea that Kurapika is the basis for Sasuke in Naruto is just an assumption based on the murder of his clan and his motivation of revenge. However, these are stock manga backgrounds and others with exactly the same motivation include Sasuke Sarutobi, Ogami Itto, Yuki from Lady Snowblood, Rin Asano from Blade of the Immortal. Numerous other revengers include Enishi, Aoshi, Sanosuke all from Rurouni Kenshin, Gatsu in Beserk, Utsuse in Kamui, and no doubt many more. Kishimoto has mentioned Hiei in connection with Sasuke Uchiha and he is probably one of the kinds of 'cool customer' types that he had in mind. He has also mentioned Sasuke Sarutobi as a source for Sasuke Uchiha and everything points to him being the primary inspiration. I don't believe he has ever mentioned Kurapika. In fact there is no need for him as everything that might be attributed to Kurapika, and more, can be found in Sasuke Sarutobi and Hiei.

misafan4u I feel like his Irish accent was exaggerated and cartoonish by design, as the aesthetic features of every other character are. The 14yo teenager angry and full of angst who can somehow beat up full grown adults before receiving powers (fulfilling a rebellious power fantasy in the anime’s demographic) is our main protagonist. The best friend who’s also tough (Kuwabara), leading to friendly competition, so long as our hero always wins in the end, though they gain mutual respect in the end. The authoritative figure that is Koenma being an immature child who’s openly afraid of interacting in the dangerous missions our heroes approach fearlessly. Every adversary who is immoral/“evil” dies in the end while adversaries who show mutual respect with our heroes live on and even return in demon world. It’s a romanticized version of the “hero vs villain” fight, but that allows it to reach the maximum level of cheese it requires to be so iconic. Nothing in this anime isn’t exaggerated, but it wouldn’t be the same any other way

i feel like there arent very many male friendship anime out there, or even just really male friendship stories in general. some shows or movies seem to masquerade as such but the friendships just a premise and the bonds are never really explored in a meaningful way, instead being over shadowed by romance. yu yu hakusho never did that, and much of the development was just around how these men interacted and grew together and bonded. I wish there was more of that. In america its popular to start with that kind of idea but have it end with the characters parting ways because they get women.

I can think of some anime that fit that idea, although I wouldn’t always describe the friendships as healthy or quality like they are in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Amazingly, it became popular during tournament arcs, which were supposedly just barriers to Yusuke's main purpose of being a detective. _(whisper)_ _but that was the best thing about the anime. love it to the bone._

Chuck is the man

[@EmiR-lf5ei]

This is weird to say but Yu Yu Hakusho helped me go through a breakup haha. I used to watch this show as a kid and in my opinion its one of the best (and most underated) animes of all time. I dated this guy who was super problematic but didn't really do anything about his problems, he reminded me of pre-spirit detective Yusuke lol, and I was Keiko because I was that girl who would try to be super positive and supportive to a considerably rebellious guy, But the only difference is that Yusuke actually was willing to grow and develop as a person and my ex wasnt. My ex ended up cheating on me not too long ago and that was honestly extremely heartbreaking, I ended up re-watching YYH after that and the messages within the anime really did help me realize a few things about myself and the world and it made me feel a lot better in general. For example, the chapter black arc reminded me that sometimes humans aint shit and some arent worth your time and energy. Although you probably wont catch me trying to cut an opening between Hell and the human world to punish humankind, it's a pretty true idea. There really are human atrocities happening as we speak that we dont know about :( human nature at times could be pretty evil. Also at some point Genkai said that your choices effect everybody who cares about you and I didnt even realize that until she said it. Have you noticed that a lot of Yusuke's decisions really effected those who loved and cared about him? My ex was all over the place and his decisions (at the time I loved him blindingly) really effected me and his family yet he completely disregarded all of that. Thats another difference between my ex and Yusuke, Yusuke actually had people in mind. Maybe I'm just stupid trying to find every little connection between YYH and my life lol I also have a fat anime crush on Kurama like holy shit if I had a genie in a bottle and the genie asked me what my 3 wishes were one of them would be to make Kurama into a real person and have him date me. Hahaha I needa find me a guy like him for real. I'm not sober typing this up so sorry if my ideas are all over the place. And i watched most of the series high as shit and 10/10 I would recommend that because the humor is a lot more hilarious and the animation is super intricate and interesting to look at. This show really gets you thinking !! This is honestly the most stupid youtube comment I've ever written I'm sorry to yall who have read this. None of you guys care about this

[@Aino171]

I fell in love with Yu Yu Hakusho because the characters are so real, honestly. He spent so much time giving all the characters solid background stories, solid personalities, there's so much depth to them. YYH is never shallow. Everytime a character does something, you know the motive behind it. And it either breaks your heart or fills you up with joy for them. When they're down and hurt you almost want to hug them. Or maybe that's just me lol. And as you said, even the smaller characters get their moments to shine. The bad guys like Toguro or Sensui have their stories and their motives too, they're not just "pure evil", the bad guys because we need bad guys in an anime. I always loved this in Togashi's works. No character is just good or just bad, just like a real human. This series haunted my mind for so long, and it still does 15 years later. All the girls back then wanted a boyfriend like Hiei or Kurama, and they're not even THE main character. You'd think a shounen is just about the epic fights and I avoided watching it for so long as a kid, but when I finally watched it, it became my favorite anime of all time. I hope kids these days will give it a chance because it's really a gem.

How to do an anime tournament right? Look no further than the Dark Tournament. How to do it wrong? Grand Magic Games

[@crowseye4434]

Polo Hat Luffy true true. This classic can't be associated with trash

[@phothewin6019]

Radical Ein Dressrosa as well. That was just dreadful.

[@Granetdud]

Eh, I liked Dressrosa. It's no where near as delightful as the Dark Tournament arc, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hyped every week to see what Luffy was going to do in the arena. I think a lot of the stuff surrounding the coliseum battles is what really brought DressRosa down. There's so much excess story and plot that it's a little jumbled, and the countless fights with all the Doflamingo family members was tedious, with the only real memorbale parts being Luffy's fights in the Coliseum, his fight with Doflamingo, and Law's backstory. I don't think Dressrosa is a bad example of a tournament arc, but I do think it's a jumbled arc as a whole.

Which points did the GMGs got wrong?

[@KeyBladeWill]

[@chrishill9197]

Evangelion seems pretty interesting but Yu Yu Hakusho is still bloody better.

[@EpicLooter]

I re watch it at least once or twice a year the whole series. one of my top 3

[@portablerefrigerator4902]

In Yu Yu Hakusho I don't wait for the combat to start. I wait for it to end

[@Sara-eu6ui]

Exactly, I find in almost all of my favorite anime’s I prefer regular convos over flashy fight scenes

[@IAmChadBroseph]

So true.

[@portablerefrigerator4902]

@@Sara-eu6ui true, especially in the rare occasion I ship something and I'm just waiting for something to happen

[@TheBestComicKing]

As a kid it was like that, but rewatching it some fights it felt like it ended too quick.

[@razkable]

A lot like one piece outside of some fight and sometimes dragonball

[@Olympius23]

Very nice video. You've definitely sold me on Yu Yu Hakusho and I can't wait to watch it.

[@trivialgambit3646]

I really liked the animation style throughout the series. The less energetic art in the beginning felt nostalgic of a simpler time. The world was more black and white with conflicting colors and shapes, humans and demons; good and evil; and as Yusuke continues his journey his adversities continue adding depth to his character.

[@weepnwallow]

You know what? Watching this video made me want to rewatch the anime again. Throughout my years of being a kid and growing up with my three best friends, they all had absolutely adored Yu Yu Hakusho while I had never watched even one episode. They knew almost every lyric to Smile Bomb, and each person resonated with a character from the main 4 characters. I always hated how they associated me with Kuwabara, since I just thought of him as a dumb idiot. I watched it back in 2020 as a 15 year old and to this day, being 17 years old and having watched plenty of other animes, none of them will ever compare to the sheer love I feel for the entire cast of the show. I'm going to sit myself down with a cup of hot cocoa and watch again. (and now, kuwabara is my favorite character from the show)

[@arcy9289]

"What an adorably cynical little shit Hiei is" Oh my god you are so right, I'm laughing so much

[@razkable]

That's why he is afraid to tell yukina the truth in fear of being shunned

[@avb19d6]

Just started the show with my wife. She never saw an anime before in her life. She is OBSESSED. The amount of times she gets jacked up when Kuwabara overcomes something is amazing! It’s such a great show!

[@Darasilverdragon]

I love that in the intro, every time he said something like 'formative show' or 'embedded in your personal narrative', there was a clip of TTGL running - the anime that saved me from suicide, and inspired my new perspective on life. Was like a little punch to the chest every time it happened... made it personal, you know?

[@simono.5698]

hope that two years from when you wrote this you are still fine and have watched more amazing anime all this time :)

[@Darasilverdragon]

@@simono.5698 Hell yeah, man same to you hope 2020 isn't fuckin' ya too hard

[@ZeroHayabusa]

Love Yu Yu Hakasho. Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakasho were my 2 favorite anime when i was a kid

[@wingzero-0014]

I'm so glad I grew up watching this series on Toonami back in the early 2000's one of the first anime's I watched Yu Yu Hakusho is the top anime series of all time and I keep comin' back to watch it😁

[@ctp069ctp06o]

Ive agure. Ive probly seen the entirty of the show like 30+ times

[@Storm_Lily]

Seven years since the posting of this vid and I'm still rewatching YuYu Hakusho, lol. #TeamKurama

[@uhh.willow]

Yu Yu Hakusho should have been the last anime I ever watched because I don't think anything else could live up to how great it was

Jin's voice acting was so bad it wrapped back around and became good again.

[@1993greeksoldier]

Warchief Lok I loved his voice so much

[@OutAtTheShow]

I like to imagine Yusuke never actually understands a thing Jin's saying, just fakes it and nods along 'cause hey, Jin smiles a lot and likes to fight and Yusuke can roll with that.

[@enjoyingincubusXD]

He's also principal nezu in my hero academia lol

[@Yanncki64]

he actually literally does that at least once

[@correctmeifimwrong01]

lmao, this is my favorite comment of all time

[@criss1461]

As a kid I used to watch this on TV . Just finished the series again fully ,with so much more in depth understanding compared to the tiny me. This series has soul ,so much depth and genuine storyline. The characters are complex and so full of personality it's trully a masterpiece. I cried ,I laughed, I related and raged at the unfair events just as I cheered at the deserved victories. Sat on the edge completely caught in the tense moments only to take a relief breath at resolve of a conflict. This show doesn't simply give the story a plot , it goes into details ,backstory ,inner conflict of characters to the point it even makes the villans like Toguro or the detective trying to open the portal justified in a twised way ,it gives you inside knowledge of the thought process and reasoning. Ps: ring annoucer bit ,same.
