The HARDEST Anime Fight: Yusuke vs Toguro

[@LuisMay1995]

The fact that Shonen Jump readers at the time reading Gohan vs Cell and Yusuke vs Togoro at the same time is insane! They were witnessing two peaks 😭

[@Caleb_Amamiya]

100% Facts

[@Menoman235]

That intro was too fire and is also top 5 on this channel

[@zephfire_16]

appreciate you, you know i had to snap for yu yu 🤣

[@cosmomcfloso5820]

Wrd

[@keedey12]

Top 5? Nahhhh famm imma have to say Top 1, that intro was some PREMIUM GAS ⛽🔥

[@iLLWiLbar91]

Nah I just played that’s shit like 50 times 😂

[@ultimatecontagion]

I don't know shit about this anime, but my brother in Christ, this man was being stylish with it. On point and everything. 👌🏾🤩

[@Chaosic]

Yusuke vs Toguro is one of my favorite fights from yu yu hakusho and anime in general. Also, love the philosophical speeches during this fight as well.

[@zephfire_16]

yea man the later half of this fight is just great the dialougue they put into the english dub was fantastic

[@Chaosic]

@@zephfire_16 Yeah it sure was, and I hope you do a video where you do your top 5 or top ten favorite animes dude. Also,thank you for replying to my comments I appreciate it.

[@majin2351]

Where that dark tournament video at 🙏 @@zephfire_16

[@Killer_Bee06]

​@@majin2351need it bro

[@Kickinthescience]

Yusuke the best dubbed shonen protagonist easily

[@TheRealHerbaSchmurba]

Dont forget Goku, Spike Spiegel and Edward Elric

[@araw540]

One of the best Steve Blum was simply perfection playing spike.

[@Caleb_Amamiya]

​​​@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba Don't forget Ichigo Kurosaki and Jotaro Kujo.

[@CryptomanXADVENT]

Both Yuyu and Hunter are some of the best stories out there

[@TLKL7277]

This fight really got some top tier Quotes fr. Like when toguro responded to koenma, Toguro in general really.

[@zephfire_16]

toguro was speakin scripture this whole fight dawg

[@mraaronstewart1556]

Don't know if this is a hottake, but Yu Yu is my favourite anime. From the dub, to the culmination of the Dark Tournament, to the Black Chapter arc, to even the begining. A cast that is actually developed, instead of having 50 characters with no defining traits. Fights that are interesting, characters that grow stronger horizontally and not vertically. Even in this fight, doesn't Yusuke still have 5 spirit guns a day. Even after going through so much, he's still capped out. 7:43, 10:43 you're right as well, Togashi at his peak, drawing the panels anatomically. But yeah like you mentioned a lil overdue, but happy that's it here. Can't wait for the full Dark Tourney vid 🦾🦾

[@zephfire_16]

it is also my favorite anime man its so fye, the dub is one of the best ever made. Got my fav main cast too. Yea man Togashi's art was greattttt back then. Dark tournament vid hopefully soon im plannin by Late June or July

[@stephenanderson3381]

​@@zephfire_16Hei vs Bui was something else.

[@gIokk]

i agree fully

[@dirtyswampman]

Dark tourny is def one of the best arcs of all time if not the best tourny arc. Idk if i'd call this my fav series by any means but I don't fault you for a second for thinking that bc it's def up there for me

[@richborn6700]

Yusuke vs Jin and Chu are easily on that Toguro tier

[@kamjb0801]

Toguro had the mid fade w/ everything on top we been knew he was the goat

[@zephfire_16]

Fade was clean asl at all times too 😭😭

[@scorpionx_173]

Literally the best tournament fight in anime

[@burymeinjhenny918]

Yes 100% agreed

[@mebansharaisantasticokhong7312]

Even at 85% ide agree ​@@burymeinjhenny918

[@prod.spirit47]

I also love the little detail like Yusuke's demon energy being briefly shown when yusuke changed up

[@jaken09]

ON ME THIS FIGHT WENT CRAZY

[@zephfire_16]

🗣🗣

[@TheRedJadex]

You've inspired me to rewatch the whole series. Keep the videos up, they're funny and informative in an incredibly unique way.

[@zephfire_16]

Thank you bro I appreciate the kind words 🙏🏾 have fun on your rewatch i love yyh man

[@gooddoge9347]

Bro, I love for these types of analysis and break downs. Keep it up

[@zephfire_16]

Thank you man more to come foshooo

[@ashsama672]

the dark tournament arc is one of the best tournament arcs in anime

[@adanlacanaria5071]

Thanks bro, i love this fight too. It feels good that someone in this era love it too

[@zephfire_16]

I love YYH so much man u have no idea 😭

[@ghostdude45]

You're one of my favorite "real talk" anime reviewers. The fact that you are so intimately aware of the story themes, character personalities and narrative is what makes your paraphrasing so engaging. You aren't just reacting to the fights; you're commentating on them from a personal view while throwing in roasts or praises that do these stories justice.

[@zeroxenoverse9251]

Hey man. It's always feel really good having people review something carefully in a deeper level and not surface/skim read through the whole series like the majority of animanga community.

[@shidoshi088]

This man’s edit skills on a whole nother level

[@pedroolivarez572]

As a kid Yuske vs. Toguro was everything. As an adult Yuske vs. Sensui is everything!

[@SuperNeos2]

Sensui straight up violated Yusuke.

[@pikachuspartan1868]

​@@SuperNeos2But that run back was immaculate.

[@ameyR11]

Bro the whole team toguro was terror, I especially remember the scene where toguro was carrying whole fighting ring on his back before the fight and thought yusuke gonna die

[@danielblackburn9012]

Toguro had his body literally modified that way when he won the tournament with Genkai its literally one of his tropes... I am somewhat lost on how you don't know that when they explain it. For reference "Kinniku Sōsa, literally translated as Muscle Manipulation): Toguro's signature ability lies in his ability to regulate how much of his maximum power he releases, ranging from 0% to 100%."

[@patrickhaley1312]

This is the only fighting tournament anime I have ever been able to consistently watch in it's entirety on an annual basis.

[@canontheory]

Flame of Recca has a really good Tournament arc as well

[@ForeveraBoss117]

I feel like Toguro just flexed percentages as a scare tactic. The increases in his power after this were astronomical compared to anything going on between 0-80. In fact, I think he was doing this as a warning to Yusuke to be like, “If YOU ain’t goin at least 80 from the start there won’t be a fight”

[@arz131]

love to see the yyh love. Watched it all 6 years ago, most fire anime there is.

[@SuperArt7]

I'm glad more people appreciate this show now. Dope breakdown...shit had me rolling

[@TheBisness]

"Toguro pulls up...in his MEMORIES!" Had me dead

[@benpop32]

I saw this fight 20 years ago…and this is the best description I’ve heard. Amazing

[@richborn6700]

All these other channels wanna just focus on Dragonball, Naruto, maybe Bleach. But damn I gotta drop a like on quality Yu Yu Hakusho content. This series is like Freddy Krueger, slept on but absolute KILLER

[@Morne443]

GOD DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNN THAT OPENING TO FUCKING HARD!! you a real one with actual taste in anime and manga, and damn you mad fine on that insta brotha mad love fr

[@zephfire_16]

😂 appreciate you heavy gang

[@vincentshadetree]

Toguro wasn't really a villain to me and more of someone that just lost their way. He saw himself in Yusuke and wanted him to do and be better. He threw that fight to Yusuke, because if he was fighting with real intent, he would of ended the series in this one

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Nice headcanon, toguro wanted to see if his methods could be proven wrong and the only way to see if that was the case was to find out if Yusuke could become stronger then him.

[@adrian_veidt]

Toguro's biggest mistake was dropping all his homies for clout. Yusuke a straight G for proving Toguro wrong.

[@thewaldentwin]

This has been my favorite anime for awhile,it just hits me different then most other anime. I love every character in the show so much

[@marriedacarrot]

Looking forward to your Dark Tournament video. Honestly you could just do a vid on the finals fights cause they’re that good. YYH is also my favorite anime of all time

[@zephfire_16]

I am planning to do separate vids on the final fights 😂 but thank you for watching man

[@The-Yellow-Man]

Always love seeing people give the Toguro 100% power up some love. Shit is in my top 3 transformations in anime.

[@FiBunnyCci]

So Hyped about the Dark Tournament Arc video!

[@zephfire_16]

Soon i swearrr

[@FiBunnyCci]

@@zephfire_16 🫡🤣🤣🤣

[@maximum-oversaiyan]

yyh was one of my favorite manga growing up, thanks to you and the algorithm for reminding me to go back through. very very good content keep it up bro

[@Dirty0o0Jester]

Toguro is one of the realest ones man, bro just wanted to box, but he has a keen sense of his own honor. Really did see Yusuke about to catch fade for his girl and respected that. "Aight lil bro, you got priorities, they ain't mine but I won't flex em for you. Just square up, I'm fixing to fucking kill you."

[@cowboybhop5953]

Dude the neckbreaking punch immediately followed by ReiGan, before Toguro even gets a chance to remember what planet he's on is the most brutal combo I've ever seen (even if it wasn't all that effective).

[@aqyx]

bro I gotta watch this anime now, looks straight fire

[@zephfire_16]

You gots to its so gas 😭

[@simonsays7578]

YOU KEPT YOUR WORD! YOU SAID SOONER RATHER THAN LATER AND YOU MEANT IT!!

[@zephfire_16]

told you bro 🤣🤣

[@Jestylor6]

What's crazy is if you hit somebody with a much force as Urameshi hit Toguro, they would've died & this man didn't even flinch. Dude was wrist drop in his stomach & he just shrugs it off...

[@Galo_do_drip]

What made me like it even more is that in my country Toguro has the same VA as Sylvester Stalone.

[@HaremArchon]

Finished Yu Yu Hakusho a couple of weeks ago, loved it. And yeah this was awesome, especially for the 90s

[@lsixty30]

ive never heard of this anime so im gunna give the manga a try, the art looks sick

[@zephfire_16]

have a great time this anime is ode

[@Dallassssss8]

6:12 had me dying bro

[@JustAnotherRyanHere]

You reminded me of this series and now I’m watching it for the first time. And it is stunning. Can’t believe it has taken me this long to watch it.

[@lordgodspeed1539]

Yu Yu Hakusho one of the greatest top 5 Japanese animes of all times

[@chrissullivan6572]

Fine, I'll watch YYH again for the 39th time

[@ThePsycoNinja]

Crazy thing is every time i started yu yu hakusho, i never went past this fight 😂 even though my friends all tell the show was just really getting started and he wasnt even that strong compared to the rest of the show. The toguro is so epic it just felt like the finale and I have never forgotten it

[@jst978]

Yeah thats not as funny as you think lol your friends are absolutely right an you missin out

[@Gekkingga]

3:25 200 FOR LUNCH I love this song 😭😭

[@DopeRichKids]

THIS FIGHT WAS GOATED

[@zephfire_16]

one of the best

[@bloo2552]

Im glad you got me to watch this banger of a anime

[@khamaljohnson9295]

Finally someone who agrees YYH is the best anime ever made until I make mine one day but action wise it's amazing u feel the pressure of each moment and you can relate or just like just about every character even the side characters

[@yoowaddup4576]

Intro Was Too Lit😭😭😭

[@peace1290]

You gotta make a chapter black video too. That arc was the anime at it's peak. Mad underrated.

[@insanebrain6685]

HOMIE! WHERE IN TF HAVE YOU BEEN?! This video popped up in my feed and after this, I had to watch every actual video in this month, had me binging these videos. And so far, none of these are a miss! Homie you either got talent or great at picking topics to talk about

[@phokit3459]

YuYu Hakusho is peak shounen, no one can convince me otherwise.

[@GhengizKanye]

the craziest shit about toguro is he was having second thoughts about his immortal demon wish so he just tortured people and made them hate him until theyd be strong enough to kill him just to see if it was even possible for him to die. and THEN when he does die koenma is trying to work out a deal to keep him out of hell and he just volunteers to go to purgatory for 10000 years. imagine being such a fuckin G you can tell god himself how to do his job.

[@geegee2874]

Broo do the Massacre Yusuke vs Sensui fight😂

[@zephfire_16]

def soon i love that fight bro

[@jasonmoxey7845]

Yeah and the ass whopping frieza gave vegeta on namek 😅😅

[@Muaddib227]

Bra this descriptive breakdown perfectly reminds me of how dope this battle was back when I first watched in 2005. I’m gonna watch this shit again. Keep it up!

[@spacedproduction4084]

LETS GO SOME YUYU!

[@zephfire_16]

longggg overdue man

[@thesigmayoumufan]

I had read the manga, and seein all of this was straight heat

[@aurizzistic]

Togashi getting those horrible back issues and chronic pain disorder is the worst thing to happen to Shonen manga.... Like the dude is a genius and has talent that no hard work can match. I'm a man with fibromyalgia so I understand how he feels and it really is not a good time lol. Not to mention people think it's a "woman's disease" and think you're just lazy.

[@BenjaminKuruga]

You and CJ dachamp have similar humor - like old CJ_dachamp before he started editing/writing his videos for monetization purposes only lol

[@invisiblebrutha]

Dawg, ion know how you got recommended to me by the algorithm…. But this shit got me weak 😂😂😂

[@Omaryessss]

4:13 fire wallpaper and relatable caption🗿

[@denjias]

yo i been binging yo videos and i js wanted to say that you’re genuinely one of the most entertaining people on the platform rn real talk 😂. keep doing what u doing yo you really doing your thing and im all for it 🙏🏽

[@zephfire_16]

thank you gang i appreciate you!

[@kool4209]

Homie...... YYH is the only show that is 99.9% non filler....... deadass.... only 15 mins out of 2 eps has ANY filler. 100+ eps of straight badassness. The grandfather of Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Hunter Hunter... Classic

[@ajsoreal9716]

Awesome video Yu Yu Hakusho my favorite anime

[@tavaedenton3338]

Yet another one of my favorite fight scene from the same amazing show. Also, love how you recommended Alecxandar's video on Toguro. That guy makes fantastic videos on fiction, period.

[@WilliamAGould]

Good review. To answer your question. Farscape has a wonderful quote in the season 1, ep 22 final right before the cliffhanger on the matter. D'Argo, "Fear accompanies the possibility of death. Calm shepherds its certainty."

[@weedandwater]

You’re a real one for using the wily stage music from MM7. Don’t think I didn’t notice!

[@NaitsirhcNojSiwel]

5:38 hands down the best thing seen in a KZbin video in a long time lol

[@nanoviolence7681]

YYH is one of the rare anime/manga that I would reread and watch over and over.

[@yakheemwagner7798]

Yu yu has two insane episodes of pure anime uniqueness. U have one with Hia and the episode that Yusuke beat the shit out the doc

[@Daddyhack2174]

This is getting a love action show on Netflix in December. It is gonna really go up after that!

[@lowlowseesee]

i didnt know you knew so much about this art form. insane

[@padrosthoughts]

Yo commentary, straight fire please make more content on this the show you made me start watching the whole series

[@zephfire_16]

Will do, how u fw yyh so far?

[@sprtn09]

This had me dying laughing 😂 keep it up bro

[@matthewwhite9643]

The golden age of anime , Yu yu Hakusho was and is my favorite 2nd is Rourini kenshin.

[@jeffbrownstain]

I've been feening SO HARD to rewatch this series again lately.

[@GuppySama1]

“Then he started glowing like a VVS” 💀

[@mr.bojangles9820]

One of my favorite animes of all times

[@mon0theist_tv]

Black dude anime fight breakdowns was not something I knew I needed in my life

[@greed8756]

Yu yu hakusho greatest anime of all time episode for episode

[@ajrobtown]

This was excellent. Thanks for all the work to make it!

[@brandonadrien3476]

4:10 Yusuke thought this was a Pokemon episode thinking he could treat Toguro like a Team Rocket blast off

[@Gioscalie]

Bro I NEED that dark tournament video I’m on my Yu Yu ark rn

[@redpapa859]

The worst part about this it happened during the middle of the series and it could never live up to it again

[@FiBunnyCci]

So exited 4 the dark tournament video my man

[@zephfire_16]

Def soon its so gas

[@ajcr_559]

Thats wild that my two favorite power ups happened at the same time. Gohan’s power up vs cell is great but Yusuke’s sad power up is perfect.

[@Architectofawesome]

I almost forgot how excellent this was.

[@brandonadrien3476]

7:43 Toguro looks he wants to leave YYH to be in Fist of the North Star. Immaculate

[@MasterChef1957]

nah he's right yuyuhakasho is peak Shonen as a former dragon ball tard this shit is built different

[@kingtuttful]

Yu Yu Hakusho is the GOAT

[@gbear4170]

9:06 the fact that ur editor really had to look the photo up and add it to the video is crazy

[@ecksdee9768]

still waiting for part 2 🙂

[@BatQuatro]

This is one of my favorite fights for one of my favorite animes.
