Hey! Thanks for making a video on my iceberg list! I respect you for taking action on my absence of updates/following through on my promises (tends to happen a lot). But I do slightly wish that you contacted me before making this as I had updated the iceberg chart with more relevant and more interesting theories a while ago, just without posting them to reddit unfortunately. I will clear some things up about the more obscure entries, though. "Spirit World Pardoned Kuwabara" is about the fact that Kuwabara sliced open the Kekkai barrier, an act that SHOULD HAVE BY ALL MEANS been considered a crime by spirit world. Even though we the audience were mostly on his side, objectively he endangered pretty much all of living world for his own selfish reasons. For some reason though, he doesn't get convicted or hunted down for it at all like Yusuke was. In fact the whole show glosses over any sort of repercussion or collateral damage that could've resulted from Kuwabara's recklessness. The sheer fact that Kuwabara is allowed to live normally like nothing ever happened after what he did, implies that Spirit World "pardoned" his crime of slicing open the barrier, for whatever reason. "Yusuke's spirit orb test and the Tree of Life" is a VERY cryptic one to get I'll admit. A common form of imagery for the Tree of Life that you'll notice in a lot of fiction, is that it's often depicted or referenced as a huge, isolated tree in the middle of a grassy field or on top of a hill. At the very end of episode 47, when Yusuke survives his spirit orb test and collapses near Genkai, we see this exact imagery as the camera pans out to reveal them both under a huge tree with all of the other trees now out of focus. Me and a few people in various youtube comments interpret it as Tree of Life symbolism, meaning that Yusuke had overcame his agonizing and dark struggles and emerged into a sort of spiritual growth and enlightenment. The take you had on this one was cool too though. "Juri gets laid by Jin" Yeah I was just straight up wrong with this one lol. She likes Suzuki instead, the clown dude. The idea for this comes from the near end of the Dark Tournament arc, when she says that she "doesn't want to die a virgin" as the stadium crumbles. Fast forward to the Mekai/Demon World tournament, and Koto says briefly that "Juri got what she wanted" implying that... well someone had to have popped her cherry right? but who? Well, in some extended scenes at the end of the manga; Koto, Juri, and Ruka all appear on a human world TV show where they talk about their boyfriends. The next panel is of Suzuki, Jin, and Touya all sneezing somewhere in demon world because they're being talked about. I thought it was Jin but it's Suzuki, you can see it on her wiki page. "Christian and Satanic symbolism" was going to hone in moreso during the end of the Chapter Black arc. Where Sensui's energy had formed into a cross as he was descending down after finally making it to demon world. And after the fight, a Raizen-Possesed Yusuke would fire a giant spirit gun at him, but before doing so, you can clearly see his energy form an upside down cross, representing unbalance and chaos. And that's about it really. I'll say you did a pretty good job analyzing what you could about an iceberg chart that honestly left a lot to be desired. Your editing style is pretty smooth and comfy as well I might add. It's a shame I never got to make this video myself when I promised the YYH reddit that I would, but life and plenty of other things got in the way of that, so I'm glad someone took it apon themselves to get it out.

Underrated

[@masterchief1106]

you were wrong about Juri. Ruka likes Jin. Koto likes Touya n Juri liked the clown guy Genkai whooped on lol.. also Yusuke’s distant grandmother wasn’t just some traditional cannibal , she ate a piece of flesh from a dead diseased person to build up antibodies she could then spread to other ppl via her blood n cure sickness

Where did you find the clip at 0:49?

[@toodamnnemu]

I genuinely can't remember. Don't think it's available anymore! It's from the Philippines dub though I believe. So maybe just search for "Philippines dub YYH Promo" or something?
