YuYu still has the best tournament arc. Everything is stacked against them, the matches are rigged, each round is worse than the last, all their opponents have vivid personalities, and no one but their friends want them to win. It's a masterpiece.

Running in a crowd In a faceless town I need to feel the touch of a friend In the countryside I wander far and wide The isolation gets me again I don't know where to go When I feel like crying Oh my! It's time to open myself Do something new I want to stop, and grow up a bit Then suddenly, my power and confidence start swelling up Magically erupt And it's all because of the kindness that I feel From people I don't even know Then suddenly, my intuition and my wisdom grow And then I know That most of all I sense compassion's real Thanks to strangers where ever I go Thank you for waking me up!

They are all masterpieces but the tournament arc in this was top tier legendary.....not to mention everybody in the squad stayed relevant all around throughout the whole series....unlike dragonball lol

[@peterbooks1543]

@@rinangel2925 That's just not true lol. Kwabara was definitely not relevent he felt like even more of an L magnet than Vegeta and Renji. It felt like he was included, JUST to lose. Also, the squad in Yu Yu Hakusho is way smaller than the squad in dragon ball, which is why the characters can get more spotlight. In Dragon Ball, the squad of main characters continues to get bigger and bigger as the series goes on, which inevitably results in the earlier members losing spotlight in favor of the newer members. YYH takes the other approach of keeping the squad pretty much the same throughout the story. Both approaches are fine, but I personally prefer DB's approach because the hype of seeing fan favorite antagonists like Tien, Piccolo Vegeta and Frieza join Goku's team is way too hype every time it happens.
