8/25/2023 0 Comments Yu yu hakusho yusuke full bodyI must have very faulty memory, because I felt sure there was more of a break between Hiei and Genkai, but that's not the case at all. Hiei is supposed to be really strong, but he's essentially defeated in one blow, with minor assist by Kurama, which possibly suggests power-scaling is going to be fucked-up, but honestly not really in a way that matters too much, I guess. this has very little to do with how he'll fight when he becomes a good guy (oddly, if I'm not mistaken, the Tournament Tactics game gave him Jagan abilities in addition to his Darkness Flame stuff.). Hiei is an interesting case, as he's shown to transform into a more monstrous form covered in giant eyes, but. As he doesn't fight, we don't know anything about what he can do, nor do we necessarily know he'll return (which is kind of a spoiler, but if you Google " Yuu Yuu Hakusho" you'll pretty much immediately see that Kurama and Hiei both become good guys later). His story may be seen as anticlimax, possibly, and which could potentially set readers up for how things work in HxH's Yorkshin Arc, if you reeeeeally stretch it. The next "enemy" is Kurama, who opts not to fight. This is probably the least significant of Yusuke's foes in the entire manga, but his ability kind of sets the standard for a major antagonist, Younger Toguro, who basically does the same shit, and I'd say both act as something like a prototype of Uvogin and arguably even Gon in Togashi-sensei's later Hunter x Hunter. Yusuke's first major battle is against Gouki, a soul-eating ghoul, who can transform into a more muscular form (with larger horns on his forehead!). I already forgot, but I'm pretty sure it was still Chapter 19 that introduces the three treasures Yusuke needs to recover, as well as foes Gouki, Hiei, and Kurama, the latter two, if you know anything about this manga, will be like Yamcha/Tenshinhan/Piccolo/Vegeta by joining the heroes soon enough. Chapter 19 has Yusuke learn the Reigan technique, which will be his signature move going forward, functionally his Kamehameha. The first chapter here, #18, gives us another instance of Yusuke helping Kuwabara out, which will build toward an alliance that becomes more important in the last few chapters of the volume. We open with about one-and-a-half "lighter" chapters of Yusuke getting back into the swing of life in his physical body. Yusuke has been enlisted as a Reikai Tantei, and starts his first two major missions: the recovery of the three sacred treasures from Enma's vault, and the investigation into the demon Randou who seeks to usurp reikohadou master Genkai. While I do love the episodic chapters in the first two volumes, it is here where I think most everyone will agree Yuu Yuu Hakusho begins in earnest. I know we're getting to the good stuff real soon but this volume didn't blow me away despite still being a solid read. The rest is standard world building and while fun I was a bit bored. Then we finally get to meet the great Genkai who will soon become a key figure is Yusuke's life. Hiei's story is more vicious but fun and shows what and who he is. Kurama story is actually pretty touching and builds the character up right away. Then we get to the two better stories, Kurama and Hiei. The first demon is a easy dispatched loser who gets his despite being a soul sucking piece of shit. Yusuke is given the mission by Koenma to stop the 3 demons and get back each artifact. The ones you probably know the most Hiei and Kurama (My personal favorite character of the series). With three artifacts stolen emerge 3 demons. Yu Yu Hakusho remains a solid read though this volume begins to veer more into the battle action shonen it was known as. Plus the art is getting better with every volume for sure! So yeah a must recommend volume. Just great stuff and I am loving the evolution of Yusuke's character, he is meeting with new challenges and its interesting to see him evolve into this. Yusuke becomes an underworld detective and well has to track down demons and its an interesting change of pace and well hs first 3 enemies are Goki the soul stealer which was an alright story and then the thing with Kurama was so well done and he is a redeeming character and you feel for him and finally the guy Hiei, and he is a challenge and when Keiko is in trouble, Yusuke steps up and I love the way it happens and its awesomely done! Loved the whole thing with this and it just continues Yusuke's growth into this awesome next phase!Īnd finally challenges to become an apprentice of Master Genkai and things are turning to be interesting there and it kinda reminds me of Naruto and really you can see the inspiration for that book from here too.
