Line 4:
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: The Spirit Detective title when compared to the Spirit Defense Force who are all at least A Class fighters. In fact the SDF is only called in where there's a [[Godzilla Threshold]]. {{spoiler|And by the end of the series, the whole group with the possible exceptions of Genkai and Kuwabara, greatly surpass the SDF}}.
* [[Badass Crew]]: Prevented [[End of the World]] more than once and the current Dark Tournament Champions.
* [[Fire
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Yusuke
** [[The Lancer]]: Kuwabara
Line 13:
** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Genkai and/or Koenma
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|When Yusuke let's Sensui kill him to empower the rest of his team to A Class.}}
* [[
* [[Oddly Small Organization]]: The Spirit World's cleanup squad for when things go wrong consists of one detective and any friends he might make along the way. {{spoiler|Though this is rendered a bit moot by the manga's ending, where it was revealed that Yusuke might not have been needed as badly as we originally thought.}}
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: The team consists of a [[Delinquent]] [[Occult Detective|Spirit Detective]], his [[The Rival|rival]], a reincarnated [[Kitsune|Fox Demon]], and a [[Reformed Criminal]] with an [[Evil Eye|extra eye]].
Line 34:
* [[All Genes Are Codominant]]: Subverted, When Yusuke Urameshi had died for the first time, he was not strong enough to receive the Atavism of the Mazoku. Ironically, through his employment as Spirit Detective, he became strong enough for this demonic trait to 'accept' him and express itself after he died in his second battle against Shinobu Sensui.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: At least Keiko does, though likely because she knows him from childhood.
* [[Anti
* [[Attack Attack Attack]]: Often uses this strategy first to test his opponent's strength before switching up his strategy.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Boast]]: In is debut match during Team Urameshi's first round in the Dark Tournment.
*** ''"Hey all you stupid demons! I've been trying to sleep through you clever trash-talk long enough and I'm ready to kick some asses!"''
** [[Badass Normal]]: Toughest kid at Sarayashiki Junior High. Could [[One
** [[Badass Abnormal]]: After coming back from the dead
** [[Badass Long Hair]]: During his Mazoku transformation.
Line 57:
* [[Byronic Hero]]: At the start of the series.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Spirit Gun, Shotgun, Spirit Wave, etc.
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: After Yusuke {{spoiler|becomes a demon}}, he no longer regards the casual eating of innocent human beings as an atrocity, and now [[What the Hell, Hero?|can hold happy and friendly conversations]] with man-eating-demons about their dietary habits [[Kick the Dog|as if they are discussing the latest tasy dish at a popular restaurant]]; RIGHT AFTER, mind you, [[Hypocrite|spending quality time with a happy family of humans.]]
** He [[Kick the Dog|goes further down the spiral of evil]] when he casually tells {{spoiler|his ancestor}} that if eating humans is what will restore his strength, he will GLADLY kidnap a few innocent human beings to feed him if that's what it takes to get a good fight out of him.
** Actually, Yusuke offered to go and find evil humans for Raizen to eat.
Line 72:
** {{spoiler|Actually, he is in one scene, talking to Atsuko in one of the wrap-up chapters, though he and Yusuke never meet.}}
* [[Diving Save]]: To rescue the little child in the first episode.
* [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma|Dude, He's Like, In A Coma]]: Justified, during the time in which Yuusuke was technically dead (although his inert body was given pseudo-life in order to preserve it), Keiko has to kiss him in order to revive him in a kind of spiritual CPR.
** Before that, Keiko almost kisses his unconscious body while he invisibly and fervently protests, but is interrupted by an announcement from the Neighborhood Watch Committee that kicks her back to her senses.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: He was on the verge of rearranging the face of a [[Sadist Teacher]] who mocked his [[Hot Mom]] for "pathetically begging" to let him back into school.
Line 83:
* [[Go Out With a Smile]]: His second death.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]
* [[Hair
* {{spoiler|[[Half
* [[Healing Factor]]: Was able to heal from his wounds suffered from Sensui's energy gun and also able to quickly heal a broken arm that Sensui snapped like a twig.
* [[Heir to The Dojo]]: Chosen as Genkai's successor after defeating Rando and winning her tournament.
Line 110:
* [[Magnetic Hero]]
* [[Marked Change]]
* {{spoiler|[[Mayfly
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His name means Ghost Helper.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: One of his specialties.
* [[More Dakka]]: His Spirit Shotgun. Also spammed a bunch of weaker Spirit Guns at Yomi to break his [[Deflector Shields]] while mix his [[Yin
* [[Official Couple]]: Him and Keiko.
* [[Power Limiter]]: The Spirit Cuffs Genkai gave him. It forces him remain in full Spirit Power and full physical strength 24/7 if he even wants to move. This is similar to how athletes who train in aerobics for extensive periods of time experience heightened states of rest: heart and respiratory rate are much lower than that of a normal person.
Line 120:
* [[Psychic Static]]: He was able to beat Murota's "Tapping" ability by repeating the way he planned on punching him over and over in his head, and then knocking him out just through the reverberations from his fist in the air.
* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue to Kuwabara's Red, Red to Hiei's Blue.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: An anti-heroic version. It's suggested near the end of the series that he could be a genuinely good person once he outgrows his adolescent rage problems.
* [[Second Place Is for Winners]]: Form 3, when Yusuke was fighting Yomi in the Demon World Tournament. Yusuke himself stated that his [[Power Level]] was only around Shura's range. Yomi and Shura's fight was a complete [[Curb Stomp Battle]] in the former's favor. Yusuke however was almost able to end the fight with a [[Cross Counter]] [[Double Knockout]], but in the end he injured Yomi so bad that he immediately lost the next round.
Line 126:
** Middle Schools/Junior High in Japan go up to 9th grade.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Kuwabara is the sensitive guy (also literally) to Yusuke's Manly Man.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: "Fearless protector of the good stuff, with a healthy kickin-ass-ness and a general hate for authority!"
* [[Shotguns Are Just Better]]: Spirit Energy/Reiki Shotgun that is.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: His second fight with Sensui after he finishes giving his [[Hannibal Lecture]]. Yusuke rebuttals with a right hook to the face.
** ''"Maybe there have been times when I've been pissed and hated things, but it wasn't from this work. [[Disappeared Dad|My dad's a no-show]], [[Alcoholic Parent|my mom's a lush]], and [[School Is for Losers|school sucks]]. But this job is the one damn thing I've ever been good at. [[Shut UP, Hannibal|And if all the crap in my life hasn't screwed me up yet, then neither will this. And neither will you."]]''
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: His Spirit Gun becomes this after inheriting Genkai's Spirit Wave Orb. It just keeps getting more powerful from there on.
* [[Spirited Competitor]]
* [[Tame His Anger]]: Yusuke started out as [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority|an angry teen who rebel against authority]]. By the end of the series he's matured and happy with his life.
* [[The Runner Up Takes It All]]: Although Yusuke didn't win the Demon World Tournament nor did he get to the semi-finals, he did succeed in preventing both Yomi and Mukuro (with Hiei's Help) from winning allowing [[Reasonable Authority Figure|Enki]] to win the tournament.
* [[Tragic Mulatto]]: Subverted. In the Three Kings arc he becomes leader of his own country and garners full respect from his subordinates. In the Demon World Tournament, there were even demon spectators cheering him on during his fight with Yomi despite being a the underdog and a [[Half
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Subverted: the ''only'' girl who likes him romantically is Keiko. Botan is more of a [[Cool Big Sis]], and the human girls are terrified of him.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Kuwabara. Botan even lampshades this at school.
Line 140:
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: His solution to any problem is hitting it with his fists or firing the Spirit Gun.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: One that can fight him, that is.
* [[Yin
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: He's ''fourteen''.
Line 155:
* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: Is the key player during Chapter Black ({{spoiler|and the gang's tripe to Spirit World in the manga}}).
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Anti
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Has a white longcoat he usually wears during a serious fight.
* [[Badass in Distress]]: In the third quarter of the Chapter Black arc.
Line 163:
* [[Book Dumb]]: Still less than Yusuke. {{spoiler|And he subverts it by the end of the series}}.
* [[Bruiser With a Soft Center]]: He's a little gruff, but a massive softie underneath.
* [[Buffy
* [[Courtly Love]]: While his jaw will drop and ogle at the sight of any attractive female (cut him some slack, he IS a 14 year old boy after all), he is the ''picture'' of a polite and considerate gentleman towards the one girl he truly loves, Yukina.
* [[Delinquents]]: Second only to Yusuke.
Line 174:
* [[Hot Blooded]]
* [[How Do I Shot Web]]: Has trouble summoning his dimensional sword after his first use of it, and only manages it twice; {{spoiler|when Yusuke's about to be killed by Sensui, and when the Dimensional Cannon is threatening Sarayashiki and thus, Yukina}}.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With Yukina.
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]/[[Gentle Giant]]: Has a warm, tender, sensitive and kind heart that is almost ''never'' found in boys his age, let alone a violent delinquent.
Line 195:
* [[Overshadowed By Awesome]]: A subversion; despite being tremendously overshadowed by his three fighting partners, Kuwabara manages to stay in the game through his bullheadedness, psychic powers, and Spirit Sword in all its varieties. Particularly blatant in the Chapter Black arc, where his power is a major factor in Sensui's plan.
* [[The Power of Friendship]] and [[The Power of Love]]: Both make him do ''amazing'' things.
** In his second solo fight in the Dark Tournament Arc, he is getting knocked around by Risho due to having almost no spirit energy left and possibly a broken spine. Yukina shows up, and he suddenly throws Risho aside and runs up to Yukina as if he isn't even injured. When Risho tries to attack him again, Kuwabara suddenly gains his spirit energy back and [[One
** After the match, Yukina tried to cure his wounds, only to discover they were already half healed on their own.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Has quite the soft spot for cats, and especially Eikichi, his very own pet kitten.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]
* [[Red String of Fate]]: With Yukina.
* [[Rescue Romance]]: Upon falling for Yukina, he joins Yusuke and Botan to rescue her.
Line 204:
* [[Stone Wall]]: His speed and offense might not be anywhere as good as the rest of his team(Can't blame him, spirit guns, dragons and all). But watch how much he can endure. Rinku even lampshades this in his fight with Kuwabara.
* [[Took a Level In 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.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: "I thought we were a team, but I guess I'm just one big joke to you. ''Well this joke has feelings!''"
* [[Wife Basher Basher]]: His dialoge to Younger-Toguro after he (psychically) sees how the brute's boss tortured Yukina with fire and abused her for her valuable tears.
{{quote| "Stand aside, you are not the man I'm here to kill... I'm here for that monster up there!!"}}
Line 224:
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Despite not being related to any of the main characters. Although this has been subverted towards his little stepbrother.
* [[Animal Motifs]] / [[Animal Stereotypes]]: The guy is really a kitsune.
* [[Anti
* [[The Atoner]]: Becoming a genuinely good-hearted, if still vengeful, person for his beloved human mother.
* [[Badass]]: A premier example within the story.
Line 245:
* [[Fusion Dance]]: In the sub, he's the same person in whatever form even though his true form is more ruthless.
* [[Gentleman Snarker]]
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]: Probably used to play into the old tale about green-eyed redheads can be expected to have magical powers. Note Kurama's eyes [[Eyes of Gold|turn golden]] and his hair [[White
* [[Green Thumb]]: And he makes it ''awesome''.
* [[Guile Hero]]: While he's an excellent fighter, his most dangerous weapon is his ''tremendously'' sharp mind.
* [[Hey
* [[Honest Advisor]]
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Mother]]: Roto tries this to prevent him from fighting back, but Kurama prevents him from pressing the button that signals her execution. {{spoiler|Yomi uses the threat of killing his human mother, stepfather and stepbrother to force him to serve him. Shachi tries to use his mother as a hostage, but fails}}.
Line 255:
* [[The Kirk]]: He's perfectly level-headed until his [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]] are pushed, and often works to keep the group working smoothly together.
* [[Kitsune]]: He is a Japanese fox demon.
* [[Little Bit Beastly]]: His demonic form-in addition to changing his [[White
* [[Love Redeems]]
* [[Man in White]]: As Yoko Kurama.
Line 266:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted. Shares the same human name with his little stepbrother, Shuuichi.
* [[Princely Young Man]]: By virtue of his attitude and how he's treated in this case, rather than status. He's a [[Prince Charming]] type.
* [[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]] and the only member of the [[Five
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Looks like a teenager, is thousands of years old.
** [[Super
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[The Stoic]]: The guy has a pokerface that is simply unbreakable in a fight, to the point of almost coming across as a sociopath at times. He DOES have emotions, he's just able to look past them an analyze a situation with a cold rational mind, then switch back to being pleasant and upbeat when he has to be.
Line 278:
* [[Training From 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}}.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: This makes him absolutely ''frightening''. During Chapter Black, when he's forced to {{spoiler|kill Amanuma}}, he is completely utterly ''enraged''. Fortunately, {{spoiler|Elder Toguro}} was there for him to [[Fate Worse Than Death|take his fury out on]].
* [[White
* [[Whip It Good]]: Main weapon. {{spoiler|Although he has even worse plants at his disposal.}}
Line 292:
* [[Aloof Ally]]: A trope poster boy.
* [[Aloof Big Brother]] - To Yukina.
* [[Anti
* [[Ascended Extra]]
* [[Badass]]
Line 328:
* [[Not So Different]]: In his battle with {{spoiler|Mukuro}}, both find out that they are much more similar than what they first thought.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* [[Pint
* [[Playing Against Type]]: For [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]. And he's not THAT [[Hot Blooded]], considering he's a fire demon.
* [[Playing With Fire]]: ''Demonic'' fire.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue oni to Yusuke, Red oni to Kurama, and Yukina.
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: It would be easier to count the number of fights in which he's wearing it for the whole time. Usually is ripped/exploded/tossed aside within the first few seconds.
* [[The Spock]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|Short Dark And Snarky]]
* [[Starter Villain]]: Along with Gouki, he was set up as this before his unexpected popularity.
* {{spoiler|[[Tiny Guy Huge Girl]]: With Mukuro who is somewhat taller than him.}}
Line 383:
* [[Action Survivor]]
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Her and Yusuke. Justified in that while the rest of the school thinks he's some kind of mob boss she knows he's not as bad as seems.
* [[Armor
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Her and Yusuke.
* [[Brainy Brunette]]: The invesigator from spirit world says "Her marks are next to perfect."
Line 397:
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Hiei's Shadow Sword, insect-controlled humans, the Dark Tournament...she's been able to handle it all pretty nicely. Borders on [[Badass Normal]] sometimes (the girl's willing to ''douse herself with water and go through fire'' to rescue Yusuke's body!)
* [[Shorttank]]: Even if she ''is'' fond of wearing dresses.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Television closed captions for the English dub spell her name as "Kayko".
* [[Traumatic Haircut]]: Averted - getting parts of her hair singed off after rescuing Yusuke from a fire leads to no angst on her part.
* [[Tsundere]]: Emphasis more on the "deredere" (making her a Type B)... although more of her "tsuntsun" side shows up in the early parts of the manga.
Line 420:
** [[Playing With a Trope]]: Played with in the Latin American dub. Child!Koenma was voiced by a woman; older!Koenma, by a man.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In his older form.
* [[Hair
* [[Hey
* [[King of All Cosmos]]: More like prince, but still.
* [[She Is All Grown Up|He Is All Grown Up]] / [[Older Alter Ego]]: Has a ''very'' bishounen adult form.
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: More in the anime than the manga, and usually when he's in his baby form.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Particularly in the anime, where he has a video screen that lets him see everything and a clueless assistant who needs things spelled out to him.
* [[Non
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]
* [[Sexier Alter Ego]]: Koenma (usually in the form of an infant with a pacifier) is able to take on an older, more [[Bishounen]] appearance.
Line 451:
* [[Healing Hands]]: Though she doesn't use them often.
* [[Honest Advisor]]: See [[Deadpan Snarker]].
* [[Hey
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: One of the complaints leveled against Funimation's early dub of DBZ was that Freeza sounded like an old woman. Ms. Young uses the exact same voice for Genkai.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With her old friend {{spoiler|Toguro-otouto}}.
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Was [[Cute Bruiser|VERY cute]] when young. {{spoiler|Her choosing to be old rather than [[Deal With the Devil|become a demon like Toguro]] is what drove him to kill her.}}
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]
Line 464:
** Also, {{spoiler|she yells at Toguro-ototo when he's literally about to go to Hell.}})
*** {{spoiler|And when he continues to deny she is the same person that fought alongside him 50 years ago, she is VERY UPSET.}}
* [[The Obi
** {{spoiler|She's revived later by Koenma}}]]
* [[Old Master]]
* [[Paper
* [[Pint
* [[Rose
* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: In the Philippines actually.
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: "Use your spirit energy to float above the spike."
* [[Training From Hell]]: For Yusuke and herself. {{spoiler|And the Six Fighters, in the Three Kings arc.}}
* [[Heroic Neutral]]: kills demons not because they actively harm people, but because they stand in her way.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: [[Rose
* {{spoiler|[[The Sixth Ranger]].}}
Line 492:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]
* [[Healing Hands]]: But not [[The Medic]]. Her powers are good, but she doesn't appear often enough for that.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With Kazuma who is easily twice her size.
* [[I'm Taking Her Home With Me]]: Kuwabara's ''first'' reaction upon seeing her in Koenma's mission video, and just about every ''good'' person in the cast when they meet her for the first time. By the end of the series {{spoiler|Kuwabara's family ''does'' take her home, whether as a little sister or as Kazuma's wife is left uncertain.}}
* [[Implied Love Interest]]: Of Kuwabara by the end of the series.
Line 503:
* [[Separated At Birth]]: With Hiei.
* [[Body to Jewel|Tears to Jewel]]
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Her and Kuwabara. And the finale {{spoiler|[[Status Quo Is God|keeps the status quo]] even though there are some hints that Yukina [[Maybe Ever After|just might reciprocate]].}}
* [[Woman in White]]
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Apperance (long hair, kimono, moderate height) personality (dignified, strong willed, polite, loving) and {{spoiler|just might have become Kuwabara's wife at the end.}}
Line 542:
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: {{spoiler|Sakyo's lighter}}.
Line 558:
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Doesn't appear in the manga, where his function is usually served by Botan or Ayame.
* {{spoiler|[[Narrator All Along]]}}
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]] / [[No Name Given]]: The dub credits him as "Blue Ogre" up until Chapter Black, and Koenma addresses him as "Ogre." The Japanese version reveals his name during or near the end of the Dark Tournament, and Koenma just calls him "[[Hey, You|you]]" before that.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: ''Painfully'' obvious...
* [[The Watson]]: He exists purely for Koenma to abuse and explain things to.
Line 601:
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: See [http://quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/S/SH/SHU/shuichisgirlfriend/1165021852_8screencap.jpg here]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Hey
* [[Keet]]
* [[Ninja]]
Line 617:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He shows up tripping over everything, acting dumbly and lazily, and looking like crap. Boy, does he ever turn out to be ''total badass''.
* [[Drunken Master]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
Line 652:
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: For a minute there, it really looked like he'd be the next tough opponent. ...''He wasn't.''
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Hey
* [[
* [[Retcon]]: Shishiwakamaru was clearly meant to be dead after Genkai defeats him. In the original Japanese version, Genkai even refers to him as "the late Shishiwakamaru" in her battle with Suzuki. But in the final [[Tournament Arc]], he's inexplicably alive and a good guy. One wonders if his real-life fangirls had some sort of influence on this decision.
* [[Samurai]]: Shishiwakamaru, patterned after the legendary hero [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamoto_no_Yoshitsune Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune, aka Ushiwakamaru], the samurai that was said to originate the term [[Bishonen]].
Line 675:
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Insistent Terminology]]: Suzuka demands to be addressed as "the beautiful," and throws a razor playing card at one of the commentators, decapitating an audience member behind her, when she fails to call him that. Also blasts a portion of the stadium that mocked him for not using this. He still insists on this, even after his [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* [[
* [[The Trickster]]: He's actually ''very'' powerful and tricky. He just has no Godamn idea how to properly use that power...
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Harlequin]]}}: {{spoiler|Suzuka, who would be either a [[Monster Clown]] or an [[Evil Clown]] if he wasn't such a source of comic relief.}} {{spoiler|At least until his [[Heel Face Turn]]}})
Line 723:
----
* [[Eighties Hair]]: That's some epic hair, man.
* [[Hey
* [[Master of Disguise]]
Line 747:
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: The Shrinking curse backfires on him.
* [[Mega Manning]]: Steals other martial arts masters' techniques.
* [[Not
* [[Playing With Fire]]: One of his stolen abilities.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: More obvious in the Japanese version.
Line 777:
* [[Monstrosity Equals Weakness]]
* [[Pulling Themselves Together]]
* [[Smug Super]]: Believes he's going to win and that his power has no flaws, [[
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: A sinister subversion. The reason the other Saint Beasts tolerate him is that he can communicate with the demons, they would've been the Three Saint Beasts a long time ago if that wasn't the case.
Line 810:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Hiei.
* [[The Four Gods]]: He'd be the dragon...though he's just a big blue skinned man with a dragon outfit. ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged]]'' so [[Lampshades]] this.
* [[An Ice Person]]: To the point that [[One
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Cut into many pieces by Hiei almost instantly.
* [[The Dragon]]: Which is fitting.
Line 835:
* [[Nobuo Tobita]]: [[Playing Against Type]] - who would've thought that the guy who play [[Dirty Coward|sneaky]] characters like [[Rurouni Kenshin|Kanryu]] and The [[Hellsing|Major]] was once a pretty boy.
** Or that [[Zeta Gundam|Kamille Bidan]] would end up as such a villain.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Uses it as arrows or [[Cold
* [[Morality Pet]]: Murugu, though she's as gleefully sadistic as he is, she's still the only thing he's shown to care for.
Line 849:
Younger Toguro is a former human turned demon, and one of the main antagonists of the Rescue Yukina and Dark Tournament arcs. {{spoiler|Once a great martial arts master and hinted at being Genkai's former lover, Toguro is psychologically scarred when a demon named Kairin kills all of the students at his dojo. Toguro and Genkai participate in the Dark Tournament and defeat Kairin in the final round. Toguro decides he does not want to age and lose his power, so as his prize for winning he asks to be turned into a demon.}} 50 years later he returns to the Dark Tournament, challenging Yusuke, hoping he has finally found a fighter worthy of his full 100% power.
----
* [[Anti
* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}
* [[Badass]]: Oh ''good Lord'', yes.
Line 862:
* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}}
* [[The Dragon]]: To Sakyo.
** [[Dragon
*** [[Dragon With an Agenda]]: {{spoiler|He's a [[Death Seeker]] and thus hopes ''not'' to win the Dark Tournament. That doesn't go well with Sakyo's plan.}}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Still finds some actions completely distasteful, especially those of his own brother.
Line 870:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Despite being muscular, he is a [[Warrior Poet]] and a [[Deadpan Snarker]], it's just that it's only limited to fighting.
* {{spoiler|[[He Who Fights Monsters]]}}
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] {{spoiler|With his old teammate and friend Genkai.}}
* [[The Juggernaut]]: Spends the majority of his screentime being utterly implacable by even the strongest of fighters. Even Yusuke during the final round of the tournament is thoroughly outclassed during most of the fight, despite two power-ups (though the third finally pushes him to Toguro's level).
* [[Kick the Son of A Bitch]]: Literatelly kicks his older brother, then punches him into yet another temporary death. Ironically, in the dub, "son of a bitch" is what said brother calls Toguro when he does this.
Line 878:
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: A complete subversion. As he powers up, he becomes incredibly muscular in the process.
* [[Noble Demon]]
* [[No Holds Barred Beatdown]]: Most of his fights are [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomp Battles]], but {{spoiler|his fight that he kills Genkai was nothing, but vicious as he [[Cold
* [[One
* [[Sinister Shades]]: Throughout most of his appearances.
* [[Sympathy for The Devil]]: His [[Freudian Excuse]] definitely earns this.
Line 905:
* [[Body Horror]]: His power involves manipulating his body into anything, and shifting his vital organs around. {{spoiler|it gets worse when he becomes a parasite after taking over Gourmet's body.}}
* [[The Dark Chick]]: Unlike his [[Person of Mass Destruction|teammates]] excluding Sakyo, his acts do not ultimately do much damage outside the ring.
* [[Eerie Pale
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: Is often called "Toguro's shoulder monkey", in-universe included.
* {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death]]: He is trapped in an hallucinogenic plant that feeds on his life force indefinitely.}}
Line 917:
* [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]: He can change his body into anything, from swords to shields; even a machine gun in his own words.
* [[Smug Snake]]: He's very [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|arrogant]] and is [[Villainous Breakdown|upset when he loses the upper hand]].
* [[Why Won't You Die?]]: Most common reaction towards his constant returns. {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death|Ironically says the same thing while under Kurama's hallucination.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[You Are Already Dead|You Are Already Trapped In A Hallucinating Plant For All Eternity]]: How Kurama ultimately disposes of him.}}
Line 934:
* [[Bishonen]]: Reasonably attractive, even with the scar on his right eye.
* [[Bored With Insanity]]: Sort of--he eventually became bored with personal killing and torturing, and [[The Gambler|found gambling to be his truest pleasure.]]
* [[Card
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
Line 944:
* [[For the Evulz]]: Wants a portal to the Makai to be opened...just so life will be more interesting as the world goes to hell. {{spoiler|he gets his wish in the end, but it's not the way he wanted to}}.
* [[The Gambler]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out With a Smile]]}}
* [[I Gave My Word]]: For all his flaws, Sakyo is a deeply honorable man whose word is his ''absolute'' bond; if he promises you that he'll kill himself for losing a bet, he '''means''' it.
Line 952:
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: He's in charge of Team Toguro, and is thus the true villain of the Dark Tournament saga.
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: He claims to have been fascinated by death and suffering since childhood.
* [[Non
* [[Playing Against Type]], and preparing him for a [[Fullmetal Alchemist|similar, yet more]] [[Ax Crazy]] [[Fullmetal Alchemist|role]].
* {{spoiler|[[Posthumous Character]]: Even after his death, he still has an influence on the Chapter Black saga via Sensui's backstory. [[Chekhov's Gun|His plans are ultimately fulfilled by a man not only stronger then his top fighter, but is much smarter than him]] and ironically by one of his original enemies: Former Spirit Detective Shinbou Sensui.}}
Line 1,008:
* {{spoiler|[[Power Limiter]]: His armor acts a power restraint that keeps his battle aura under control.}}
* [[The Quiet One]]: Never speaks until his fight with Hiei.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Never seen again after Hiei spares him. The last time we see him in the manga, he's watching Yusuke's fight with Toguro.
* {{spoiler|[[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]}}
Line 1,054:
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: What the Splinter Roushuyuken does
* [[Depraved Homosexual]] Subverted/played around with/deconstructed/possibly inverted.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: {{spoiler|The speech he gives before he dies about having to fight demons from a very early age and having to come to terms with it sounds an awful lot like him recalling his [[Coming Out Story]]. Especially in the dub.}}
* [[Driven to Villainy]]: Because [[Humans Are Bastards|that damn Black Black Club]]
* [[Evil Genius]]: A rare [[Darker and Edgier]] version that's also the [[Big Bad]] in the series.
Line 1,066:
* [[Golden Super Mode]] {{spoiler|The main Shinobu personality's Sei-Kou-Ki/Holy Energy.}}
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]] - Hoo. Lee. Shit.
* [[Good Hair, Evil Hair]]: It's slicked back when he appears as a [[Big Bad]], but in flashbacks, when he's a Spirit Detective, it's more of a bowl cut.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: He believed in this so strongly that it ultimately broke him when he found out the possibility [[Humans Are Bastards|that humans are not the saints that they're made out to be.]]
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: His pet hangup.
Line 1,073:
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: If Toguro brought the series to a darker, more serious tone, then Sensui basically brings forth hell, brimming with the worst of humanity and Armaggedon.
* [[Kung Fu Jesus]]: A dark [[Deconstruction]] of this trope.
* [[Light
* [[Macho Masochism]]: {{spoiler|Double-subverted.}}
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: His {{spoiler|split personality, Minoru}} persona.
Line 1,083:
* [[Purple Is Powerful]] / [[Supernatural Is Purple]]: His bindi and [[Ki Attack|Ki Attacks]].
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: {{spoiler|While Kamiya (Wrath), Makihara (Gluttony), Hagiri (Pride), Mitarai (Envy), Amanuma (Sloth), Itsuki (Lust) and Elder Toguro (Greed) represent the seven deadly sins of the Bible, the true Sensui (excluding Kazuya - Wrath), the unnamed female personality (Lust) and Minoru (Pride), is devoid of any true sin, like a fallen angel who still upholds his duties even if they are warped from his original goals. Hence, his Black Angel title. }}
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers]]: Part of his attitude/egotism after becoming a villain, in addition to hating humans.
* [[Significant Birth Date]]: June 6th. Add in his year of birth (1967, given that the Sensui Arc takes place in 1993), write it numerically (6/6/67), and you get the [[Number of the Beast]] with a [[Foreshadowing|seven]] left over.
* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]}}{{spoiler|Seven including the original, in total after losing it.}}
Line 1,091:
** [[Badass Gay]]: HELL YES.
* [[Sympathy for The Devil]]
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Given to Yusuke by Minoru
* [[The Unfettered]]
* [[TV Genius]]: Sensui is ''extremely'' smart, but he seems to have no clue how to relate to people beyond using and/or killing them. [[Not Good With People]] is, in his case, an ''understatement''.
* {{spoiler|[[Victorious Loser]] / [[Doomed Moral Victor]]: Sensui, in dying, achieved what he wanted, and in the manga, his ideology colors the rest of the series as we find out more about the diversity of demons. This is lampshaded by Yusuke after his death.}}
* [[Well
** [[Knight Templar]]: His stance as a kid and part of the good guys. A particularly brutal one, too.
* [[Yaoi Guys]] / [[Official Couple]] / [[Mind Game Ship]] / [[Birds of a Feather]] / [[Unholy Matrimony]]: Him and Itsuki.
Line 1,126:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Of the passive-aggressive variety.
* [[Moral Myopia]]: His last speech is filled with this. He calls out Team Urameshi and Spirit World for their crimes in an attempt to justify his and Sensui's goals, despire what he and Sensui did.
* [[Multi
* [[Non
** [[Action Survivor]]
* [[The Philosopher]]: Somewhat of a subversion, as he's bloody crazy.
Line 1,161:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Yusuke's fight against him was absurdly one-sided. In all his experience, Yusuke was always used to fighting enemies head on, but never against somebody who methodically kept his distance and chipped away at him. If it wasn't for {{spoiler|Hiei's [[Big Damn Heroes|big damn heroic moment]]}}, Yusuke would've been dead a second time.
* [[The Dragon]]: Sensui's left hand.
* [[Eerie Pale
* [[For the Evulz]]: Like Itsuki, Hagiri could care less about the Chapter Black and the evils of humanity. He is mainly motivated by a massive superiority complex: He finds most everyone around him too stupid and not worth the dirt they walk on, and thus they deserve to be replaced with Demons. He does however value his family.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Let's see, he uses dice, marbles and shot a guy on the head bloodtastically with a pencil eraser.
Line 1,170:
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Is arguably the most loyal to Sensui, after Itsuki.
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: There's a reason he's called ''[[Meaningful Name|Sniper]]''. For how hax his powers are, he's a regular human, and would be knocked out by a direct him from pretty much any main character.
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: After playing around with Yusuke as target practice, he finally opts to just gun him down with a pistol. {{spoiler|If [[Big Damn Heroes|Hiei didn't arrive in the nick of time]], that definitely would've been the end of him}}.
=== ''Doctor - Minoru Kamiya'' ===
Line 1,190:
* [[Healing Hands]]
* [[Mad Doctor]]: This guy is freaking crazy!
* [[Morally
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: As one of the Sensui Seven, he represents [[Wrath]].
* [[The Sociopath]]
Line 1,270:
Yomi is the newest of the Three Kings - he has a bad relationship with both Mukuro and Raizen, but seeks to unify all three sides and end the squabbling. {{spoiler|He was second in command to Kurama's brigand prior to Kurama placing his soul into a mortal. Yomi, however, was reckless, losing countless men in unauthorized raids and direct confrontation, thinking it more exciting that way. Kurama, angered, sent an assassin to blind him as punishment. Yomi then grew extra ears and tuned his senses so acutely he could eventually hear all within his kingdom.}} He plans to take over both the demon and human planes in an act of unification, calling on Kurama to his side.

* [[Anti
* [[Badass]]: To survive in the demon world, you need some level of this trope. To become one of the ruling powers in demon world, you need to be ''made'' of this trope!
** [[Handicapped Badass]]
Line 1,285:
* [[Noble Demon]]
* {{spoiler|[[Truly Single Parent]]: Shura is both his son ''and'' his clone.}}
* [[Well
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: And how! Yomi has no problem at all kicking the ever loving crap out of his own son in battle. Although given how much of a cocky smartass Shura is, it's kind of hard to feel sorry for him.
Line 1,305:
* [[Ki Attacks]]
* [[Made a Slave]]: Back in the days, before Mukuro became one of the three kings. {{spoiler|Doubled as [[Sex Slave]].}}

* [[Not So Different]]: With Hiei.
Line 1,328:

* [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: During Chapter Black, Raizen {{spoiler|directly intervenes and temporarily possesses Yusuke's body so that he can defeat Sensui. Yusuke was ''mad pissed off'' about this, but when looking at it in hindsight, if he didn't do that, [[One
* [[Face Death With Dignity]]: ''After'' going completely berserk first....
