Yu Yu Hakusho Opening - Smile Bomb On Drums!

[@robertrogdriguez392]

“All you anime youngsters with your MHA and Demon Hunter. Y’all don’t even know!” Thanks for making me feel old lol

[@tona4x7]

"Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOW!" You're god damn right.

[@justavivi3386]

"The family jewels have not been stolen", dont ask why I remember exactly THIS quote.

[@ScarsMclovin]

I thought I was crazy urameshi but you take the prize! The hell was that!? You don't make bombs go boom in your face!

[@SoulHero7]

This show had the best deadpan deliveries. Yusuke being a smartass definitely helped.

[@TyrannisXR30]

Yusuke was a one line machine... his comebacks honestly were atleast 25% of the show.... on top of the great English dub cast, the story and the action.

“As long as they don’t grab my balls and make me cough… *Hot nurse walks out* Scratch that”

[@dariendude17]

The whole show? All the way through each time?

[@johnnyking3719]

This legit brought tears to my eyes

[@SoulHero7]

One of the best OG animes, and one of the few where the Engish Dub is arguably superior to the Japanese. It's that good.

[@aster5191]

All these years later, Justin Cook as Yusuke might be the best performance I've ever heard in an anime dub. No discredit to any of his other VA's in other languages, but to me, he's THE Yusuke.

[@MapleLeaf2501]

@@aster5191 Christopher Sabat as Kuwabara, Chuck Huber as Hiei and John Burgmeier as Kurama as well. The entire cast was perfect but those four as the great group that they were just sold the characters.

[@SoulHero7]

@@aster5191 That scene of Yusuke fully absorbing the spirit orb and saving his spirit beast still brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. "SCREW THIS TEST I'M GETTING US OUT OF HERE!!!" So many raw and real emotions packed into that one sentence. God bless the VAs, they carried this show.

[@aster5191]

@@SoulHero7 Funny enough, I had the pleasure of seeing Justin at a convention once and he spoke about that particular scene. He said it was one of his favorite and most memorable recording sessions, but that his throat paid for it at the time, hahaha.

[@spencersdh1]

While the main cast is great, there are a few _really bad_ side character voices.

[@Reldonator]

YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLOOOODE!!! ❤💣💥

[@canadiancanucklehead8310]

The first note had me letting out a small tear. The GOAT anime in my eyes. Has everything I love

[@JunJunH]

So happy to hear you cover this! YYH is my favorite anime I grew up with. We have great shows today, but growing up with 90s and 2000s anime on Toonami just hit differently.

[@iamthor1094]

We never had the English theme (not until Animax Asia came in 2003)instead we had the Japanese theme and it's awesome. The Filipino dub is iconic for us 90's kids when it was released here years ago. Bonner Dytoc as Yusuke(Eugene in Filipino dub), Neil Yu as Kuwabara(Alfred in Filipino dub), Montreal Repuyan as Hiei (Vincent), I forgot others but for me the most iconic villain of all time is none other than, Taguro who had the most badass voice ever, who can't remember the most awesome lines when he and Yusuke met in the first spirit tournament, "Humanda ka Eugene, ibibigay ko sa iyo ang isangdaan porsyento ng aking lakas(translation: Prepare yourself Eugene, I'll give you my one hundred percent of my power)" then he goes berserk to Yusuke, memories 😁

[@Miguel23887]

I still remember when me and five other friends wore Toguro shades during a flag ceremony. lmao!! We got punished by the principal but it was fucking worth it!

[@sonicclub1]

This is still peak anime to this day

[@Malkier83]

Fantastic. One of my all time favorite animes

[@taigardoragon57]

めっちゃ懐かしい！！

[@eufonioun]

One of my favourite child hood gems. Listening this took me through hyper speed memory lane.

[@MarthehHime]

AAAAA SMILE BOMB!! I grew up on Yu Yu Hakusho so anytime I hear this or one of the other themes, it's super nostalgic. I'm so glad you decided to play it, you did so good with it! 😭Glad to know you're a fellow enjoyer, Jerod. And it's ok, anyone who watched YYH had a crush on someone at one point. For me it was Kurama-

[@edshemp]

I love this music so much! It's been over 20 years that I watched the show and still one of my favorites. The brazilian version of this opening is great too, btw.

[@cedyanlee666]

ahhh..the memories..time to watch this masterpiece again..

[@ScottE-2]

Love this song, I fell in love with the show a few years ago when I watched it with a great friend of mine after some persistence in watching it. No regrets. Easily one of the best anime out there of all time. Because I can't find anything else to compare it to. Wonderful cover on drums.

[@trintron6820]

I loved this show! I watched through it all in middle school. I definitely feel like it’s one that everyone loves, but no one talks about!

[@NotorioDj]

Thank you so much for this cover it brings back so many memories! Ib really hope they make a continuation of it!

[@asmariamoon]

I've loved this song since I first saw Yu Yu Hakusho on Toonami. I never skip it.

[@elivile.]

One of my favourite anime openings. LOVE it so much. The top anime that I grew up watching: Yu Yu Hakusho, InuYasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing, Death Note, Fruits Basket, Fushigi Yuugi, Gad Guard, Gungrave, Ghost Hunt, Ghost in the Shell, Witch Hunter Robin, and much, much more.

[@talesgames1234]

YEAH YU YU HAKUSHO BAYBEE!! the JP ver is what I'm used to but this great as well :)

[@Andaisdet]

There are a lot of anime songs out there, but nothing will ever beat the absolute insanity that is Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka’s ending song

[@PsyDSha]

It's just Massive New Krew leaking through the gaps

The drum craziness hahaha

[@rykooch]

I wanna hear 8bitdrummer do the K-On intro

[@austinthompson3075]

Even dogs can smell something good.

LOVE this!! Do you freestyle these covers? (also the "anime youngsters" comment killed me haha)

[@darwindelrosario3785]

Ah yes this is thee true chaddd anime back then.

[@BigRagatheOpStomper]

No joke, I was just listening to this song on repeat last week and I see this vid. Must be a coincidence.

[@mariuspuiu9555]

One of the best songs in anime and one of the best anime.

[@princealigorna7468]

If this song was the last gasp of Citypop in the mainstream, it's a perfect song for that era to end on. Such a fantastic song. Fun beat, big horn blasts, cool guitar riff, and some amazing lyrics

[@mr.mcnuggies]

The ending song for this anime is no joke my favourite citypop song ever

[@bubaboy257]

Smile bomb is legit fire

[@afeathereddinosaur]

I prefer the version in my language, but wow the singer in this version has a really beautiful voice

:0 it sounds so weird in english. I'm used to hearing it in japanese. I never even thought about it having an english opening lol.

[@kameronmiller2226]

Best 90s anime besides Ruroni Kenshin and Evangelion.

[@sansnom5269]

Kenshin was a mess, besides the hype it did not survived the test of time. It starts promising and goes nowhere.However, the soundtrack is still one of the best in anime.

[@RepublicOfUs]

@@sansnom5269 Kenshin is absolutely fantastic, and it's a damn tragedy that the final arc never got the adaptation it deserved. The bigger tragedy is that its creator turned out to be literal human garbage.

[@sansnom5269]

@@RepublicOfUs For me it never lived for the hype. People on the series can never shut up on how badass Kenshin used to be, and after 20 episodes worth of build up, the battle just ends up in the most silly and cartoonish way possible. I remember a fight where Kenshin used a wind gust of his sword to make a guy fly to the horizon, Team Rocket style. Wow, such a fearsome samurai. It had good characters and one amazing setup,but when you rationalize it, 80% of it revolves around people talking about how cool they are, instead of actually doing something. And when they finally do, trust Scooby Doo hijinks to derail the whole thing. What a waste.

[@blacksiopao]

heck yeah lets goo!

[@icaruscrimsonfist7795]

Good stuff

[@foxaddict94]

Man, been ages since I last heard this OP. I was super into it back in 2nd and 3rd grade when it came on Toonami. It became my childhood favorite anime. Also, I wanna recommend a series called JuJutsu Kaisen. This series is like if Yu Yu Hakusho and Bleach had a child. Even the creator of the series says those 2 were what inspired him to create it.

[@clarehidalgo]

I remember Bleach was almost cancelled early on because execs thought it was too much like Yuyu hakusho but Akira Toriyama of Dragonball fame told them to give Bleach a chance

[@Poodle_Pop]

Anong gentle gentle?

Who HASN'T seen Yu Yu Hakusho?! That was the gud shit! Admittedly, I hadn't finished watching the anime but read the manga. Toonami was the only place I could see episodes while visiting my dad in the US. Meanwhile in Canada: nope. You've no choice but live the pirate life.

^^" its fun more and more people is knowleging Yuyu Hakusho, my favorite anime with fun anecdote, like the first time I got to see it was sec2, around 8years youtube sugesste me over and over ay after day the first ep that I was it all 112ep and fall in love with the psychologie of caracter who dosen't want to being to getter but they need to do and idea of the live and the fight! -! like sho(*not its full name) and Uameshi Yusuke epic fighting where all could end after using all the spirit force.

NostaLit!

[@OOZ662]

The vocal technique on this song is certifiably horrible and that's why I love it to death. It isn't incredibly overproduced with an entire studio team's tweaking and tuning, it's just a babe singing.

Idk what you're on about. Its not horrible at all.

No but fr kids these days simply do not know the struggle of having to watch those 144p VHS rips on the sketchiest website you've ever seen or having to buy like 20+ tapes or newfangled dvds if you wanted to watch an anime. They have it so easy with their hulus and their crunchymations and their netflixes. I *still* haven't been able to complete my 2001 Baki collection because it was never rereleased after the first home video run. I'm legit so glad they don't have to suffer like we did.

Ugh, this version. It's a fair attempt I suppose. I grew up with the original JP version so this objectively sounds worse due to noticable differences that aren't just the singer.
