In Yuu Yuu Hakusho, it's all based around "spirit energy," the power used by ghosts and demons. In Dragon Ball Z, it was martial arts in Rurouni Kenshin, it was all based around sword techniques. How many anime have you seen where the main character dies? Okay, quite a few, but how many where he kicks the bucket in the first scene? This is also a very original way of explaining the special powers used by the characters, something that must be accomplished in every shounen anime. Yuu Yuu Hakusho begins with a very interesting and original backstory, about Yusuke dying.
I will endeavor to keep these comparisons absent from this review, but if one sneaks in, just pretend it was never there. In fact, one of my favorite things to do is complain about why Yuu Yuu Hakusho is better than Dragon Ball Z. One more thing-I am not a fan of Dragon Ball Z, and Yuu Yuu Hakusho is very similar to it in many ways. All content opinions will be based off what was present in the uncut version, although even the edited version is not exactly appropriate for kids.
#YU YU HAKUSHO COMPLETE SERIES ENGLISH DUB TV#
However, the TV series was edited in the first place (there was a manga which it was based off of, in which Yusuke did things like smoking, extorting money, and referring to shoplifting, which were not present in the anime). The only changes I could spot was that they changed the swear words into their watered-down equivalents (damn to darn, hell to heck, you know the drill), and took out one scene involving a cigarette (which really interrupted the balance of the episode). However the changes between the two are extremely minor (some are kinda annoying, though). I'm not sure of this, but I believe the Adult Swim version was not edited (though it was still the dub). Since the entire series comprises some 112 episodes, the show may become radically different as it moves on. This review is based off of both the unedited version of YYH shown on Adult Swim and the edited version now on Toonami. Overseen by Koenma, the ruler of spirit world (who looks like a toddler), Yusuke and his team, consisting of friend/rival Kazuma Kuwabara, wise and mysterious fox spirit Kurama, and malcontent triclops Hiei, must take on numerous demons striving for the destruction of humanity. As a result of his brush with death, he's been given powers of the spirit world, to fight ghosts and demons, and to pay back his debt of returned life, he must become a spirit detective and complete missions for the spirit world. After much trouble, (and losing his chance to be brought back by using it to save his "girlfriend," Keiko Yukimura) Yusuke comes back to life. Because of this, he's been given a chance to complete a trial, and if successful, will be brought back to life. Botan, an emissary of the spirit world who functions as "The Grim Reaper" comes to tell him that his death was completely and utterly unexpected, therefore, there's no place for him in spirit world. One day, he tries to save a kid from being run over by a car-and dies.
Yusuke Urameshi is a delinquent, and the best fighter at his high school.
