I find it strange that he seems to not hold himself in the same regard as toriyama I consider togashi a literal genius with a insane talent for storytelling. Nothing has come close to how much I love HXH and Yu Yu Hakusho was also amazing

[@b_han]

He definitely does hold himself in the same regard as the greats like toriyama, oda or kishimoto. This probably saddens me the most as he lacks so much confidence I feel like when he truly creates nothing but perfection. Seems like he has massive imposter syndrome.

[@ChimpRevolution]

@@b_han True it's sad because I truly have never found a piece of any media including games movies etc. That was as enjoyable rewatchable and amazing as HXH was for me. Even so many of the deep concepts he explores such as Merum as a monster gaining compassion and humanity is so well done. Along with how well he writes and develops the surrounding world and characters. Not to mention I think nen as a system is the best thought out and coolest anime power system. The only thing that comes close is alchemy from full metal but even then I still prefer nen

[@chainedunfree727]

YYH ending was understandable. It implores to the viewers that in the last tournament arc there are fighters who are way more stronger than the show's MCs and we see Yusuke is at peace on losing a battle. That is some character growth from a yankee student who always gets into fights.

[@j.j.1517]

The reason YYH is still so popular is because it ended early, didn't drag the storyon and leaves everyone wanting more. This series has massive potential to come back or have a re-make.

This isn't a problem specific to Japan. It's just capitalism. The typical American 40 hour work week is also soul-crushing for most people. And it's a combination of being overworked while also generally being treated like shit.

[@ricardokojin7]

@ricardokojin7 That's simply not true. People today work more than anyone else in the history of the planet. Prior to the industrial revolution, nobody was working more than 20 hours a week. And the fact of the matter is that NOW we produce more than enough food for everybody. And the only thing preventing that food from getting to the people who are starving to death right now is capitalism.

Agreed. Yusuke was just barely beginning to grasps his full potentials in his fight against yomi.

[@AbStar_xx]

Here’s my thoughts I LOVE Yu Yu Hakusho. It’s arguably my favourite series. I could write essays on why I love it so much. However, with regards to the ending… Do I wish it had gone a bit longer and gone into more detail and world building? Of course. Am I sad that the end was so abrupt and premature? Absolutely. That being said, I do not ever believe anyone should put their health and life in jeopardy for their art. It’s just not right. And to be honest, I do think the final mission and such for Yusuke et all is actually really fitting. It’s touching, moving and I feel like all my favourite characters ended up where they should and there’s enough left open for potential continuation.

[@mattakudesu]

Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime I constantly go back to. Everything about the show is amazing, the story, the characters, the stakes, the animation style, the heart, the muisc, even the anime dub, all of it was top notch and so relatable, especially to a younger person. It's such a shame things turned out the way they did, but Togashii gave everything he could to make such a phenomenal series and it shows. To this day, there is nothing that could ever really fill the empty shoes of Yu Yu Hakusho.

[@ThePidgeottosNest]

The anime really stepped up for the ending though. Sure there wasn’t much meat to it but it still gave everyone a final satisfying fight where they got some growth.

[@razkable]

It didn't need to be like 20 more eps but like 8 more and having a semi battle royale 3 sided war be the final main part of the payoff of the arc like it was set up not a tourney would of been cooler..seeing hiei kurama yusuke not try to kill each other while playing the leaders behind the scenes

[@CodeguruX]

Eh, he was just being a big boy about it and giving us what we wanted so he could move onto his next thing. Quite frankly, I watched Hunter x Hunter a few episodes past the first season, and no thanks. It's just another case of the perfect formula being discovered and the only guy who can continue producing the formula gets bored with it. Not an ideal situation for anyone, but at least we got 100+ episodes of gold.

[@matthewhunter8122]

​@@CodeguruXhunter x hunter changes so much between arcs tho, I'd give it another shot. It's almost like a different show between arcs and focuses on different characters

[@spaghettioverlord3247]

The manga doesn’t even have yusukes final fight. It also has a giant plot twist where koenma finds out that his dad was brainwashing demons and making them murder humans in order to make them seem evil, so humans can focus on demons instead of the atrocity’s of other humans. Not sure which ending I like better.

[@wyattbottorff2473]

We can only imagine what YYH may have become if Togashi remained well.

[@gIokk]

best anime ever. was kinda sad the way it ended but watching the ovas made me happy again. miss the anime tho, yusuke is the best shonen protagonist.

[@razkable]

The spirit world demon world human conflict needed its own giant 50 episode saga to explore imo...cause the series sets up a true conflict of ideals then just says scratch that yusuke is the key to everything

[@LinDotson]

I wish it could be rebooted and continued at a more reasonable pace. I'd happily wait a full decade in anticipation of a single season that gave us at the very least the proper closure we all deeply crave. Its a shame that we, both corporations and consumers, are so focused on rapid fire content instead of allowing creators the chance to take their time and develop these stories in a more sustainable way. YYH is already an absolutely incredible story, and it breaks my heart to know that if given the proper time, it could have truly been a fully formed masterpiece.

He is a genius. But building a Team around you who you can trust to bring your manga to life like Oda does makes sure that your story is told as well as having your mental health and your physical health.

[@mikeexits]

Thankfully it seems like his wife is at least helping him with HxH these days. He does the sketches and story while she does the line work, and I think either she or someone else does the finishing touches. Hopefully it's been helping him a lot. Which I'd assume, because he's started making new chapters again recently.

[@jacobharris5894]

Oda is just ridiculous. He seems like he is just built for the harsh conditions of Shonen Jump while many other artists like Togashi break from it. I know he has a support system in place to give him more rest than other mangaka but make no mistake he still is incredibly overworked. He’s gone to the hospital multiple times for overwork and worked even harder in his younger days. The crazy thing about him is it almost seems like he thrives creatively under the pressure and would push himself this hard by choice even without the insane deadlines. I can’t help but admire him for this but it probably has taken its toll on him mentally and no one should actually strive to be this obsessive with their work if they want to be happy.

I love Yu Yu Hackusho. It was such a great manga and anime! I loved watching it when I was younger and now rewatching it almost every year it’s just so good. I know the live action has come out which i haven’t yet explored but it makes me think. If Yu Yu Hackusho is being picked for live action does this mean there is a flame of passion that has been relit? I truly want more Yu Yu Hackusho. Hell I was foaming at the mouth seeing a crappy cgi Yusuke cutscene in jump force. I think the best way to continue Yu Yu Hackusho would be one last arc. A movie arc. A finale of sorts it would be nice to revisit Yu Yu Hackusho in a new animation style and to see our favourite faces return. But also I’m sure it would be a great medium for Togashi to continue his story’s.

[@EnvisionedBlindness]

Dark tournament and usukes student/mentor relationship with genkai has been something thats stuck with me since I was 4 years old when I first watched the show on toonami.

It's sad that we have to live in a world where it's always "Hustle hustle hustle". Creativity isn't something that you can just create out of thin air--it's like a living thing and needs time to work when it can and rest when it needs. People in general work better when they're well-rested and well-taken care of and I wish corporations would understand that. Creators aren't content robots and I hate seeing people burn out on their passions simply because they're not allowed to have a break when they need it.

[@mikeexits]

Very much agreed. I'm a creative myself so I understand this better than a lot of consumers. Many people assume that feeling depressed or going through dark emotions provides fuel for creativity, especially for music (my main creative medium), but that's only partially true in context. As the legendary David Lynch says, you create at your best when you're healthy and doing well internally, and not being over-burdened by stress. From there, *then* you can use your darker experiences as one of many sources of inspiration. But when you're feeling down, creating is one of the very last things you feel like doing.

My problem with Yu Yu is I feel it peaks too early with The Dark Tournament arc. I don't know how it would be possible with the story and the Demon World tournament but it feels like Dark Tournament would have been a more natural ending, and a more satisfying one. Like they build up Toguro so much and Yusuke reaching that level feels so great as a viewer. Then after that it's like Nope. Toguro, the guy they built up as the strongest fighter in Demon World, is nothing but a small fry. Also Yusuke who seemed to have reached his peak, he's going to get his ass kicked by psychics who have only been in training a few months...and Genkai's death turned out to be meaningless and a fake out. Like literally everything that happens in Dark Tournament gets back pedaled. It all just feels so less epic after the build up in Dark too....I'm just not really a fan of the whole Yusuke demon dad thing either.

[@adtopkek4826]

The author said he wanted to end with the fabric between the human and demon world sealed and Yusuke becoming the strongest human spirit fighter on Earth. Then within the last few chapters the publisher convinced him to change it and continue it for another arc. The whole demon world arc was rushed and thrown in last second.

Togashi only used a single assistant if one at all. Some manga have huge teams to worrk on the series. In the newest Hunter x Hunter chapters, more assisants were used; but it's noticable compared to his older stuff. I don't mind this. The peogression of panels shows progression of the story. The Succession War arc alone is unbelievably complex in it's story alone. It's like 3 different arcs put together into a single arc. I hope the succession war arc gets completed in the way it deserves. As for the Dark Continent, they should have included flashbacks of what happened during the previous voyages. We ven find out how Nanika came to be. The true horror that the ship is heading to is displayed. In the end, a few characters decide to live with human that live over there. For example we find out tbat the rest of the Freecs are almost entirely in this civilization (as well as some others families. It ends with the humans that decide to stay (it feels more like home) as well as the humans that leave carrying a new calamity. That's what I would do. I hope Togashi leaves the fans with an open ending so that there is cloture . Something that the reader is meant to determine since the Dark Continent forever stays an unknown.

It's not about it being "The life that someone chose" it's more like. If you have more story in you that you want to tell, and are overburdened. Just get somebody else to draw for you.

This is probably my favorite cartoon in general, not just anime. After watching this, Even though I really wanted to see more episodes, I’m glad that man got away. If it was killing him, it’s not worth the entertainment value. It’s not entertaining to know my enjoyment is a result of another suffering. Though I do wonder if he would allow a team to take over finishing the story while involving some of his creative input. Keeping the same animation style and staying on the same course of story telling, but introducing others to fill the gaps of art and help with the writing itself. It must take a lot of time just to make one episode. The amount of drawing, as well as creating the dialogue, the sequence of scenes, what to make sure is put in so everything is covered and questions aren’t left unanswered, all while staying within a certain time limit for the run time of the episode, and also not being too short. Quite alot of thought and work involved with that. I hope the man is doing well, feeling better and enjoying his life.

[@cosmosofinfinity]

I don't think there is anything too upsetting about Togashi praising Toriyama as a true genius since Dragon Ball was sort of the first of its kind and Yu Yu Hakusho probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for following that example. I think Yu Yu Hakusho improves on Dragon Ball with its own twists, and raises the stakes and respects the viewer/reader's time much more. Major stuff happens at a more brisk pace in Yu Yu Hakusho, and it's got a honed edge to its fights and its humor. Togashi is just praising his GOATed senpai like anyone else would. To put himself alongside Toriyama would just come off a little arrogant, he naturally looks up to him the same way we all do. Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, and Dragon Ball all have had a problem sticking the ending/landing flawlessly, but art like everything else in life is more interesting because of the flaws. I actually like the messy look of some of those panels, and doing one last tournament was playing to the story's strengths more than one long drawn-out war probably would've. And considering Togashi himself didn't even want to do it, it would have felt even more like padding. If you want drawn-out all-out wars to close everything off, we can just go to Naruto for that.

I feel bad for what Togashi goes through with overworking, believe me I do… But it’s quite ironic to hear that he ended this series due to his “health”. This is the guy who continues to have the EXACT same issues with HxH… No mangka does this except for Togashi. Work related or not, it’s a clear skill issue. What was the point in taking break in the first place? Bro is a multimillionaire and still can’t finish a single story. Asking for sympathy related to health is an obvious “woah is me” cop out. My theory is that Togashi has problems with simply staying on track and wants to hop onto other ideas in his mind without completing the previous one first. Something like Inattentive ADHD… ADHD-Inattentive: - Trouble focusing on the task at hand - Difficulty following instructions - Inability to focus or prioritize - Trouble starting and finishing projects - Tendency to procrastinate Yep, sounds like Togashi to me.

There will always be someone stronger to fight and eventually everyone will lose however, being true to yourself and having people around you to live your life with is the most important part. Yuusuke grew up and choose friends over fighting. It was a great ending, rushed, it still deserves to be considered fulfilling.

[@meixianliswife]

I honestly think if there were more animators and writers along with more people to help togashi with writing and animating I think you would have not been permanently ended!

[@razkable]

Yu yu hakusho did have endless potential...it started so well then got bogged down a little with shounen battle syndrome for the dark tourney where characters have power ups for no reasons like hiei knowing the dragon of the darkness flame out of nowhere off screen when he couldn't do that before just to make him op ruining any tension..but after those first 4 rounds the show really hits its peak with the finals and then sensui post sensui and early demon world stuff before the final like 8 eps

[@jamesdime6865]

Well, Hiei had what? 2-3 months to train?

[@JoJoboiWav]

@@jamesdime6865 And it was explained later in the series that Hiei was formerly way stronger than he was in the beggining of the series, he was just nerfed after his operation and was recovering his former strenght progressively

[@razkable]

​​@@JoJoboiWavthat is a retcon cause hiei was more popular than anyone even yusuke in fan manga polls so the creator had to bring him back give him a bigger role redeem him for no reason which he doesn't do very well at first because yusuke just accepts his help that koenma forced him to do for his freedom and thus togashi had to make him stronger...I don't mind him being on par with yusuke but giving him a one hit ko move after a couple months when he lost to weak yusuke which still doesn't make sense why one shot beat him is all stupid...

[@razkable]

​@@jamesdime6865 it still comes out of nowhere to make hiei seem on par with yusuke and give him 2 big wins plus use a few weaker variants of it against another foe when he is recovering from using it...

[@dawnettaseering7674]

Don't beat yourself up for having to end Yuyu Hakusho., sir. As much as I love the anime I understand. Health first. Believe me I get it. I've had two strokes so I no longer do that rat race in life

[@originalkingdomhearts]

I love it, it's my favorite anime ever. I'm sad they treated the author so badly. The author should always come first and if they want to finish let them finish.

[@DarkFoxV]

I felt, the series ended appropriately. where I had wanted more in the series, was in that I had wanted more spirit capers early on xD (as was originally planned). XD

[@DibIrken]

It didn't look to have ended prematurely. I'd say it is one of the best shounen anime to have a satisfying ending. Compare that with Naruto, Dragonball, One Piece, Bleach, Hunter X Hunter where there is always a power spike the hero needs to reach. A never ending cycle of fighting the stronger enemy. In the end, the plot is lost and is left at the mercy of defeating the next challenger.

[@NotAShawn]

Started this in the 90's on adult swim and then on Toonami but due to school and program schedules I never got to see the end of the dark tourney.... in my adulthood, I was shocked when I bought the series and it ended soo abruptly. He could have outsourced the work... it was such a L for the anime community

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

Adult swim didn't even exist til about 2000/2001

[@NotAShawn]

switch adult swim with toonami ... its a mistake@@noneofyourbusiness1114

[@XtianJovic]

Now wonder I noticed that too when I was a kid. Compared to the other arcs like with the dark tournament, the demon world arc seemed rushed and ended too fast.

[@StantaviceWray-rc4xw]

Love anime with my whole heart low key makes me feel sad that he disapproved of it so much 😔but hopefully I can see da gang one drone time when it’s my time to go 🩵

[@LordKumo]

I feel it end ok because as we look at other anime anything that goes on for to long turn out bad

[@binitbs]

Yu Yu Hakusho was 100% drawn by Togashi sensei. Its a point very less people bring and is often missed by people who talk about Togashi sensei. But that is also what makes the series so great.

[@razkable]

You know what would of been really cool?...if yusuke really died and stayed dead longer vs sensui but after beating sensui who work together and get kuwa to slice him up then realize he's sick already and was dying and itsuki takes him then his pals chose to stay in demon world despite the risks of never returning after koenma tells them the sdf are sealing up the barrier an he can't bring them back..mainly for kurama and kuwa because hiei prefers demon world and they do so looking to revive dead yusuke cause they are told he's part demon and his ancestor is the king and they have to plead with him to save yusuke and he does in return for his own life after he sees their bond as pals that yusuke created and then yusuke takes care of the demon world control problem in exchange for him with his 3 pals and then they come back years later to human world

[@razkable]

I love how we go from simple combat vs demons to taking down psycho humans and the dilemma of killing humans with op territory powers with rules you have to follow not just brute strength kinda wish sensui had a territory like that as well but he didn't and it feels way scarier than say in dbz going from aliens and the galactic emperor strongest in the universe to cyborgs built on earth that they could of taken care of earlier if they wanted but chose not to who somehow surpass them in power despite 3 years of training prep...in yu yu it's so sudden after the tourney it makes sense their not strong enough cause they trained for previous arcs..not this one

[@EbblingMis]

I just really disagree that the ending of (speficifly the anime I have not read the manga) is "Premature." All of the themes explored are resolved Yusuke ends the show a complete person who understands his emotions and passions which is the journey the show was always about. We could have had more fights more villains more escalaiton, but the heart of the story a punk kid with a heart of gold who was completely written off by the world around him finds himself and becomes a full person. I don't need any more fights after that the story is over

[@Link00007]

Unpopular opinion, Yuyu Hakusho is better than HxH.

[@lploopman5916]

All 2 are a Fire anime and all 2 heve the best ending possible

[@cosmosofinfinity]

The Greed Island arc really irked me for some reason. Yu Yu Hakusho has no wasted moments, I feel. And every series of fights feels pretty life or death, I think the fights against early villains Rando and Suzaku are still some of the biggest nail-biters

[@FaithCannon7]

I wished yusuke was part angel instead of demon. And his ancestral dad was an angel in heaven and he get called to heaven in talks of a upcoming war between Heaven and Demon world. Hiei gets called by makuro and Kurama by Yomi the same way in the show. They are talked about the same war coming. Raizen is the head of demon world in this idea. So it becomes Yusuke father in heaven telling his half angel son yusuke that Hiei and kurama are the enemy. People won't like this idea,but yu yu hakusho is about a individual hunting monsters and protecting humans. This idea can have major deaths behind it. Kuwabara meets Yusuke and ask where he's been. He tells him of the war coming. So eventually kuwabara listen because its his best friend. So Yusuke father, Yusuke, Kuwabara, the elite angels and heavens armies vs Yomi, Makuro, Raizen along with Hiei and Kurama. It's a lot I know but the potential could have come in numerous ways.

[@daneelderozan263]

Dope

[@MasterNabber]

Definitely sounds better and makes alot of sense too.

[@Marcus-gf5uq]

Yusuke was supposed to be super lvl if it kept going💯 strongest character in the series during their prime is star lvl ❤️‍🔥and it ended cause the world wasn’t ready

[@billyboleson2830]

To best honest so many shonen end with the protagonists being the strongest in their respective verse that I don’t mind YYH not doing the same, Yusuke is still top ten though easily

[@RockaByeYT]

To be honest YYH does Progression, Growth and an Ending quite well for a Shonen Genre. You don't need it to be uber lengthy, you don't need the protagonist to keep powering up, and it ties all the arc properly.

[@TheBengaliG]

It could potentially had been one of the best shonen shows ever, sadly the writer wasn't feeling well and kinda rushed with the ending at the three kings saga

[@admitNothing]

video ini lebih menyadarkan gua bahwa para mangaka memang sangatlah hebat despite their permasalahan dalam progres karya mereka, respect!

[@topbackpodcast2615]

To be fair, the show is called “Ghost Files” which is suppose to correlate to Yusuke being the spirit detective. After Yusuke becomes part of the demon world, the title of the show doesn’t really make sense anymore. Chapter Black is the end of Yusuke being detective and the 3 Kings arc is more of a long epilogue.

[@MikeTooleK9S]

love his characterization of real world adolescence. spirit world is inside me. his hunter x hunter worldbuilding is just random garbage only a kid could consume it

[@Oreobtw8]

I wish yu yu hakusho would’ve came out now with how the manga industry has progressed

[@Vonboon11dy]

I like how short it is.

[@cosmosofinfinity]

Yeah, it didn't pad itself out forever or wear out its welcome. It respects the viewers time and keeps fights tighter than Dragon Ball (not that I dislike Dragon Ball's approach of totally basking in its situations). Considering how few episodes the Three Kings arc had to work with, they got a lot accomplished in them
