![]() I do like how instead of an endless battlefield, YuYu Hakusho wants its characters to have a real future, one they have to make themselves. I can understand not wanting to make a Dark Tournament clone, and it is nice not having to buy 5, 10, even 15+ volumes for a not-too-surprising result. The former can be explained by the fact that the Dark Tournament is so good and that it’s hard to find a reason why powerful characters are suddenly getting their butts kicked the latter, however, feels like Togashi just got bored of YuYu Hakusho. The manga ends without another tournament (despite setting up for one), and YuYu Hakusho tapers off (and skips ahead). The story is less interesting, and quite a few plot points seem jammed in. Unfortunately, nothing comes close to the tension-filled Dark Tournament. The Dark Tournament is just that good.Īfter its climax, Togashi quickly sets up for the next storyline. This arc showcases pretty much everything great about shounen battle manga: some comedy, light romance, friendship, good and bad rivals, and, of course, several life-or-death moments. Quite frankly, it really deserves a spot.

Around the fourth volume, YuYu Hakusho finds its niche: tournaments, eventually leading up to the famous Dark Tournament. This part is far superior to the extended prologue. The second arc (well, many would consider it still the first arc) picks up the pace as Yusuke is forced to use both his physical prowess and his newly-awakened spirit abilities in order to work as an Underworld Detective (i.e. The episodes themselves are fairly boring, only proving to show Yusuke is not really a bad kid. Two volumes may not seem like much, but in a 19 volume series, this is still a decent chunk. The first two volumes are full of Yusuke helping random people and ghosts out. He is aided by the cheerful grim reaper Botan, childhood friend Keiko, and rival with a sixth sense Kazuma. The series starts off with ghost Yusuke helping out other spirits and humans as he tries to make sure nothing happens to his physical body. One of the things YuYu Hakusho is known for is its change of genres, which was (supposedly) planned. YuYu Hakusho‘s best asset is probably it’s length: it hits all the shounen strongpoints in a fraction of the length of other series. ![]() ![]() Can this bad boy do enough good deeds to pass? And will his life be any different the second time around? That’s why no one expected him to die saving a child, including those in the Underworld! With no place for him in heaven or hell, Yusuke is given a test in order to be revived. ![]() Yusuke is a junior high delinquent: he drinks, smokes, fights, and skips school.
