Yu Yu Hakusho/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Badass Crew]]: Prevented [[The End of the World as We Know It]] more than once and the current Dark Tournament Champions.

[[File:yusuke01_7057yusuke01 7057.png|frame]]

Since there's no place for him in heaven ''or'' hell, Yusuke is given the opportunity to return to life, but once he does--Koenmadoes—Koenma owns him, and he becomes the Spirit Detective, taking care of supernatural problems that might threaten ordinary humans. Of course, as we gradually learn, Yusuke isn't all that ordinary, himself...

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Shows up [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] a second time as a S Class demon with a Phoenix Puu and Koenma in the Demon World.

* [[Determinator]]: Will to use [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points|Life Energy]] or use a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] if all else fails.

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: In the manga, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106232558/http://www.mangarush.com/manga/yu-yu-hakusho/171/p-8 Yusuke pulled this off pretty well and look like quite a convincing girl believe it or not.]

** [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Again, twice.

== = Kazuma Kuwabara ===

[[File:kazuma01_9355kazuma01 9355.png|frame]]

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Losing to a kid in the first round in the tournament, {{spoiler|then in the final round [[Curb Stomp Battle|beating Elder Toguro in less then three moves]] while it takes even Hiei to go all out to defeat the other members. Even more so, after [[Brought Down to Normal|losing his powers]], he awakens the powers to cut dimensions to [[Curb Stomp Battle|beat two psychics in one blow]] and become the strongest full human after Sensui's death.}}

== = Kurama / Shuiichi Minamino ===

[[File:kurama01_2964kurama01 2964.png|frame]]

* [[The Kirk]]: He's perfectly level-headed until his [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]]s are pushed, and often works to keep the group working smoothly together.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: He doesn't look impressive, being a [[Bishonen|pretty boy]] that often wears a pink school uniform and [[Something About a Rose|has this thing for roses]]. Guess who is one of the series' biggest [[Badass|Badasses]]es and the only member of the [[Five-Man Band]] that ''Hiei'' actually admits being afraid of.

* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: In the Philippines actually. They [[Hand Wave|Hand Waved]]d this after they found out.

* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Gives Kuwabara some fairly harsh training to prepare him for the Dark Tournament, and later {{spoiler|gives it to some of his team's former rivals to prepare some elite fighters for Yomi}}.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]], [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Though he normally looks like [https://web.archive.org/web/20070327214621/http://www.projectbag.com/yuyu/pics/kurama/kurama04.jpg this] his true demonic form is [https://web.archive.org/web/20131029003857/http://images.wikia.com/yuyuhakusho/images/0/00/Yoko_1.jpg this].

== = Hiei ===

[[File:hiei01_4855hiei01 4855.png|frame]]

* [[Continuity Drift]]: Togashi, apparently, was not always sure if Hiei was going to become recurring character--certainlycharacter—certainly not that he would rank #1 in both Character Popularity polls--andpolls—and it shows. When he first appears, he transforms into his "full/true demon form," but this is, oddly, never seen again. Except for a [[Non-Serial Movie]], okay, but still. This demon form is apparently derived from and based on his Jagan, which we later find out {{spoiler|is an implant, courtesy of [[The Medic|Shigure]]}}. In an early episode, he also tells Yusuke that he and Yukina are half-siblings with different mothers, but his [[Whole-Episode Flashback]] clearly shows that they ''do'' have the same mother, Hina. Of course, that one can be written off easily; it wouldn't be out of character for Hiei to lie.

* {{spoiler|[[Hot Guy, Ugly Wife]]: While not married nor officially involved with Mukuro, the [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|BST]] is clearly there. The horrible scars on her body due to her mutation make for a partial straight example of this trope, since he is more attractive than her.}}

* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Trains Kuwabara for the Dark Tournament. Because of Hiei's honour system, his training is ''less'' hellish than Kurama's.

== = Botan ===

[[File:botan01_6693botan01 6693.png|frame]]

[[File:jin01_1803jin01 1803.png|frame]]

Jin is a demon with mastery over the wind. He's a former member of Team Masho and currently a friend/ally of Yusuke Urameshi. This grants him the power to fly at great speeds. His signature move is to spin his forearm at high speed, creating a tornado around it, making his punches more powerful, even causing damage when he misses. He enjoys his battles, especially when he has a worthy opponent. He states that when he gets excited about a fight his ears twitch. During the fight for control of the Demon World, Jin is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they disband to fight individually in the Demon World tournament.

[[File:chu01_9931chu01 9931.png|frame]]

Chu is the strongest fighter, but andformer leader of teamTeam Jolly Devil Six, but ends up as the team alternate after losing at Jan-ken-pon. Chu was currently a friend/ally of Yusuke Urameshi. Chu specializes in the "Drunken Fist", which fuses the alcohol he drinks with his aura. During the fight for control of the Makai, Chu is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament. At the end of the manga, he begins training with, and falls for, Natsume, the female demon who defeated him in the Makai tournament.

[[File:rinku01_7884rinku01 7884.png|frame]]

Rinku is a young demon who uses yo-yos to attack. Rinku was a former member of Team Rokuyukai, a close friend of Chu's and currently a friend and an ally of Yusuke Urameshi. Rinku is childish and playful, and often annoys those around him. He controls his yo-yos by channeling his aura through the strings. During the fight for control of the Makai, Rinku is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament. At the end of the manga, he becomes stricken with Sasuga, a female demon who defeated him in the Makai Tournament, and it is hinted that they are in a relationship together.

[[File:shishi01_341shishi01 341.png|frame]]

Shishiwakamaru is a tiny imp demon who can transform into a full human appearance. He is a swordsman who seeks to make himself famous. Shishiwakamaru is a former member of Team Uraotogi, now Yusuke's ally. Suzuki gives him the Sword of Trials, a sword hilt that changes into whatever weapon suits the wielder. For Shishi it becomes the Banshee Shriek, a sword which channels the souls of the dead and materializes them to devour his opponent. During the fight for control of the Makai, Shishi is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament.

[[File:onji01_6506onji01 6506.png|frame]]

{{spoiler|Suzuki is a demon who excels at creating weapons for others, as well as controlling his Aura harmonics, enabling him to create varied and colorful attacks. Suzuki is actually the former founder, owner and leader of Team Uraotogi, now an ally of Yusuke Urameshi. In the past Suzuka fought the Younger Toguro but lost. He then vowed to become stronger and defeat Toguro in the Dark Tournament. He initially disguises himself as an elderly man known as Old Bloke (Onji in the English anime dub). When Genkai reveals him he states that he used the disguise to help him fight harder, dressed as what he hates the most. He states that anyone who calls him by name must call him the Beautiful Suzuka and he plans to die long before old age can rob him of his looks. After being defeated and humiliated in combat by Genkai, he gives the Sword of Trials to Kuwabara and the Fruit of the Previous Life to Kurama, to aid them against Toguro. During the fight for control of the Makai, Suzuka is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament. }}

[[File:ytoguro01_3779ytoguro01 3779.png|frame]]

* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}

* [[Megaton Punch]] {{spoiler|On his brother. Gets one himself when he [[Took a Level Inin Badass|goes]] too far.}}

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Most of his fights are [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomp Battles]]s, but {{spoiler|his fight that he kills Genkai was nothing, but vicious as he [[Cold-Blooded Torture|slowly takes her apart, a piece of flesh to killing her by breaking her spine with his fist at 80%]]. It gets worse when Toguro goes [[One-Winged Angel|100%]], his fight with Yusuke becomes so one-sided, that it takes [[Heroic Sacrifice|Kuwabara's "death"]] to make Yusuke fight on truly equal terms. In fact it was so brutal that Yusuke in the middle of the fight passes out and dreams of the moment that he first meets Keiko... only for Toguro himself to appear in the dream as a huge monster that squeezes Keiko possibly to death. [[Despair Event Horizon|it's so bad that Keiko snaps and loses consciousness]].}}

[[File:sakyo01_8717sakyo01 8717.png|frame]]

* [[Bored with Insanity]]: Sort of--heof—he eventually became bored with personal killing and torturing, and [[The Gambler|found gambling to be his truest pleasure.]]

* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: While he does have some [[Kick the Dog|genuinely evil moments]], at least two of them has him offing some ''very'' [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt Corporate Executives]]s... to further his own ends, of course.

[[File:karasu01_8115karasu01 8115.png|frame]]

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Not as much as Elder Toguro, but he is [[Yandere (disambiguation)|dangerously obsessed]] with killing Kurama.

* [[Psycho for Hire]]: He's a [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] type for Sakyo.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: His {{spoiler|split personality, Minoru}} persona.
