Like man every rewatch I’m just like this is good but could’ve been so much more😭😭

๑•͈ᴗ•͈๑

There's a lot of cool moments we never got to see and wanted to see your thoughts. Here are a few:

1. The rest of the demon world tournament. We never actually saw the end of the Yusuke vs Yomi match, or who Yomi loses to. Or Enki's rise.

2. Struggles between Raizen, Mukuro, and Yomi. We saw a quick blurb about their feeling towards how demon world should be run, but not much past that. Things could definitely have had more development.

3. Sensui's missions with Itsuki. I know we saw some moments but a lot of animations from Sensui's younger life were all repeated. I also wanted to see some more from his POV and hear his inner monologue from "all demons are bad" to "i don't know wtf is going on" to what we saw in the Chapter Black arc we now know him as.

Happy to hear your responses. I understand Togashi chose his portrayal for a reason and he had health issues, which prevented him from ending YYH with a bang (or spirit gun). What do you think?

Hello! I just posted a video on IG with a music over the original opening of the second season (I believe) and I would love some opinions! Let me know what you think, and if you like it then I would highly appreciate a follow or share! There are two albums releasing everywhere on August 2nd under the name Groovillium. Tell your friends! Thanks (:

And I still don't understand why Hiei act like some kind of caricature villain in the beginning

Bro surviving the top of his head getting sliced off is one thing but how did his brain send the signals to his mouth to utter his last phrase to Hiei?

Source

"A mulberry is a tree, Kuwabara is a man, and I'll prove it. We all have to die when our time comes, but if we do our duty, we don't got regrets - so taste a little piece of my sword, Toguro!"

"In case I don't make it, take care of my cat."

"When men do what they're supposed to do, it's not always about what they want!"

"Urameshi! I'm gonna mess your face up so bad, even kittens won't look at you!"

"You're supposed to be here... for me."

Any other quotes that are your favorites?

I was so impressed with how cool figures are in Japan. The quality is amazing and the prices really weren’t too bad! 20 figures purchased in total.

There are four series of figures here:

- Masterlise: these are SUCH good quality and I’m so impressed by them! These toys are won through the ichibankuji which is the toy lottery they do in Japan for stuff like DBZ and OnePiece. These were about $15 to $55 each. Kuwabara in white was the most expensive piece, and ultimately my favorite. I am bummed that I did not end up purchasing the Yoko Kurama figure in this series when I saw it. I thought I may be able to find it cheaper later in my trip, but never saw it again.

- Maximatic: these are good and pretty cheap. They’re large figures but not quite as detailed as the Masterlise. These were only about $10-12 USD each

- the other two series may be the same brand, but one line is specifically for the 30th anniversary and go together as a set. The other line are more action poses (Hiei, kurama, toguro). These ranged $5-20

Side note, the packaging on all these figures looks AMAZING. I loved it so much that I flattened it all and packed it to bring home! I can post pictures of the packaging if anyone wants.

Any other YYH figure collections out there? I’d love to see them!

Let's say that hypothetically, Hiei was killed off as planned, how would the series unfold ? Personally, I think that the series would be wayyyyyyy different if Hiei wasn't there, because we wouldn't get any of the scenes where he protects his little sister Yukina, makes fun of Kuwabara nor when he masters the Dragon Of The Darkness Flame, or his backstory with his tribe Shigure and his friendship with Mokuro, so overall:the series wouldn't feel the same without Hiei so I'm glad Togashi kept him

im strugling with the black arc

i remembered i watched yuyu hakuso as a kid on tv . but i didnt saw every episode because it was aired late in my country and wasnt aired for long . so i started to watch again . i finished the tournament arc which i realy enjoyed and it was peak , maybe the best tournament arc i saw in an anime . now im at the black saga just finished the episode where Kuwabara gets captured .

the things that bother me is not the territory abilities and laws , i can accept those . but obvious nerfing of the characters . Yusuke and the team at the tournament arc was able to feel, detect yoki/reiki , moved at lightspeed , being invulnarible if they have higher spiritual energy than their opponent , had insane strenght feats , hax . and you realy want to tell me they arent faster than a human or just break their powers with their high yoki ?

when yusuke gets captured by the shadow ability guy ( Asato kido ) . Asato steps off from Yusuke's shadow for a momemt . Yusuke then immediatelly starts to move and tries to punch Asato . but Asato steps on his shadow again because he was to slow ... HUH Yusuke was too slow ?? he should speed plitz Asato in an instant . the arc is full with things like that .

to name a few . Yusuke cant catch the doctor when he runs away . they struggle against sniper. sniper has such a weak ass ability they its so pathetic , again they should just speed blitz him in an instant . sniper threatens Kurama with shooting the sorrounding people . okay Kurama go at light speed in front of the guy and restrain him or catch the brojectiles or something . when sniper retreats Kurama pulls out the rose whip to catch him , he misses and Sniper gets away . HUH how the F you missed ??? and another , Yusuke cant catch a car ?? bro you already moved at light speed in the tournament . and the arc so far was full with moments like that . feels like things happen because of plot . and again i dont mind the territory ability laws . but these moments kinda ruin the feel and what the team achieved in the tournament arc . its like we back at the detective saga again .

now whoever reads this may fimd this nitpicking or irrelevant . maybe have an explaination for that . or think im compleetly wrong . these are just my toughts and opinions . dont take it too seriously .

Was considering going manga instead, but internet seems divided. Is there any update on the debate?

Cheers!

Update: 5 episodes in. So far is alright, like it enough to continue. The animation isn't that impressive but it's clean and I enjoy the style. Overall am enjoying it. Pretty sweet.

Update 2: definitely more into it. Am at episode 19. The intro isn't amazing* but I enjoy the overall soundtrack and is definitely a great dub. Did they drop the ghost detective tools or does he get 7 eventually?

• The intro reminds me of these commercials we had in Canada in the 90s called Body Break.

gege literally mixed hunterxhunter and yuyu hakusho for most of the abilities the characters use in jjk like domains and binding vows. while hiei is literally the blueprint for half of the detuagornists that exist today. togashi is genuinely js the goat man

If sensui was built up in the ark like togoru would he have taken over togoru’s spot as the main villain in the anime? I mean sensui was way more powerful than togoru but it seemed after the dark tournament there wasn’t much build up to his character just wondering 🤔

My husband sculpted and painted this little guy for me. I thought it was so cool ! I love the mouth and the teeth especially. Looks ready to bite somebody!

I wanted to share. Don't have the best camera or set up to capture it, but here is a short video.

He talked about doing a Makai insect before this guy, but I said I would love a plant , so he focused on that.

Anyways look how cool!

So from childhood I have looked to Seaman as one of the cool villains. He's just wearing a hoodie and he could manipulate rainwater -- so simple!

I liked the way he was introduced in the series -- a genteel relationship with Sensui, with Sensui carrying an umbrella for him outside a concert stadium while it's raining.

I just love that scenery -- they're the villains... but also they show camaraderie and it was such a simple, low profile way of presenting villains. They're dressed in casual clothes. They're not over the top , like world-ending dragon ball-style over the top.

Sensui protecting him from the rain. That was such a low profile gesture but behind it there was a grand plan -- I could almost think of the Apostles ... simple men who had a grand plan of salvation for all of humanity.

So anyway I like his powers too because it was simple and not earth-shattering. He's powerful during the rain and it's not your general mountain-shattering explosive effects.

Anyway the anime made him look weak. I had hoped he had a more protracted fight.

Cheers.

It's very apparent that a lot of us here swear by the dub and I do too so I'm not about to complain. But a big thing that I've always loved about older anime is the music, specially the character or Image Songs (I personally call them Waifu tracks cause they're a pretty big thing in harem series and younger me was big into that stuff). They're basically supplemental songs sung by the seiyuu/VAs in character.

I was curious if anyone who's familiar with them on this sub has any favorites? I'm a Kurama Stan so Kurayami ni Akai Bara ~ Romantic Soldier is my absolute fave, but I love the Kuwabara/Yukina duet Roketto Hanabi no Love Song and the Dark Tournament Waifu Trio song Love Song wo Anata Ni among a few others. If anyone's curious I think most of them are on Spotify and YouTube. But what're your favorites if you have any?
