@BrandonPhilipps-r9b11 сағат бұрын
Indeed. Even dying and in pain, Puu still seeks to save others and that is truly who Yusuke really is. Seeing it from outside, Yusuke realizes that something like that deserves to be protected and cherished; ergo, he is worth protecting and deserves love.

@haydenhoutsКүн бұрын
Out of everything in Yu Yu Hakusho, this scene with Yusuke and Puu in the cave has to be my favorite. When I was watching the dark tournament for the first time, I binged through most of it at night, watching each episode back to back. Because of this, Yusuke’s training seemed - at least for me - to last way longer. Hearing his bloody screams over and over again alone in the night, it definitely sticks with you that’s for sure. So, when Yusuke and Puu finally have this moment, it feels like a beautiful release from the grueling struggle up to that point. Moreover, the superb voice acting and music (struggle of sadness) really enhance the scene, immersing me like no scene in Shonen has before. Even while watching your reaction Melon I *still* got chills! I’m glad from the looks of it that you enjoyed the scene as much as me :) Happy watching & thx for the reactions!

@kennethkennedy6989Күн бұрын
I would agree with this episode being a top 10 episode. This episode has a lot going on. It was emotional, but it also has Yoko Kurama, which is always awesome. I saw you wince when he brought that death plant out. That thing is downright terrifying. Yoko was going to get the information he needed through that interrogation. I figured you were going to like Yoko when he showed up. He is a scary yet captivating character. You know a character makes an impression when you want to see more of them from just the little bit you do see of them. You'll have to keep watching to see if he comes back. I won't post any spoilers in case you read my comment. Yusuke passing his trial was pretty emotional at the end. Puu trying to help him by bringing him water was a moment that is quite touching. What caused him to pass the test was him being determined to save Puu from the falling boulder. Yusuke no longer was focused on his test. He was just trying to save Puu. Him tapping into his emotions may have been what caused him to absorb the spirit wave orb. He is strongest when he taps into his emotions, but he tends to wall his emotions off. When he does tap into his emotions, his power skyrockets, as seen in the past bouts. It also sort of goes back to the theme of him being willing to throw away/sacrifice his life for others or not put much value on his own life. He did it twice with Keiko in throwing his egg into the fire to save her, and again, when he fought Suzaku in tapping into his life energy in order to save Keiko. He also did that with Kurama with the mirror when asking to take his life instead of Kurama's. Even when Botan offered him an opportunity to come back to life at the beginning, he turned it down and had to be convinced that people missed him before changing his mind. Now you have him not being worried about Puu's well being over his own. Which he kind would be worried about himself since they are connected, but I don't think that thought crossed his mind in saving Puu.That is a theme to keep an eye on. This arc just keeps building up. There is still quite a bit more to go. You are going to like what is coming up.

Because Toguro himself is just at the edge of high class demons. So if this guy is an high class demon, wow he's not gonna be easy to beat. So really is he ? Or is there someone else even stronger behind ?
