Yu Yu Hakusho, also known as The Poltergeist Report, is the story of Urameshi Yuusuke. When the show opens up, Yuusuke has suddenly died and is trying to remember how. It's not a normal way to begin a story, with the main character's death, of course, the show DOES progress after this, or why would I have a huge page on it? ^.~ Yuusuke's death surprised the Powers that Be, no one expected Yuusuke to jump in front of a moving car to save a child. He is obviously a bold, brazen and thoroughly obnoxious punk who gets in fights, skips school and swears like a sailor. Of course, it was a shock when he risked his life for a child, and a stranger.
Botan is the bearer of bad news, or in this case, good news. She cheerfully explains to Yuusuke that he shouldn't have died and that the son of Enma, lord of the dead, wishes to see him. After bringing Yuusuke to KoEnma, the young lord explains that Yuusuke gets a chance to try and come back to life. Yuusuke must decide whether he want's to take the trial of Resurrection or just be judged and get on with dying. After much consideration, (and some trips Botan takes him on) it is decided he will be resurrected and become a Reikai Tantei (Spirit World Detective). This is, of course, the beginning of a long and complex story in which Yuusuke and his friends save the human world (and on occasion, all three worlds) from numerous threats posed to it.
The nice thing about Yu Yu Hakusho, is that, the audience can become attached to the characters, as they develop themselves throughout the anime. Unlike most American cartoons and some Japanese animations, the characters grow up with the audience. It addresses situations that a normal person can go through, but it addresses them in an out-of-the-ordinary way. Is an enemy ever really an enemy? What are human emotions really about? What is important to you?

YU.YU.HAKUSHO FOREVER FORNEVER - Last episode -Conclusion (woo everyone is older Keiko looks super cute!)
***MAIN CHARACTERS*** This would be the section for our main characters:
~~Urameshi Yuusuke~~
Yuusuke is the fifteen year old, self declared, "Super Number 1 Delinquent of Sarayashiki Jr. High School". Yuusuke has a young mother who stays at home a lot drinking. We don't know much about his father until much later in the show. Yuusuke spends little time in school and a lot of time fighting. When he dies, he meets Botan and Ko-Enma. Botan explains that Yuusuke wasn't supposed to die, and Ko-Enma offers him a chance to come back to life, called the "Trial of Resurrection".
When Yuusuke finally makes it back to life. (With the help of Botan, Keiko and Kuwabara) He has to make up a debt to Ko-Enma. So he becomes a detective for the Spirit World. We find out that Yuusuke has spiritual powers that allow him to shoot ReiKi (spiritual energy) out of his body. Some of his techniques are:
--Rei Gun - Like a revolver, shooting one blast of energy at the opponent. --Shotgun - As it says, basically triple the power of the ReiGun and can kill more than one person. --Double Barrel Shotgun - This sends out multiple shots, covering a large area. --A number of Rei Kou Hadou Ken (Spiritual Light Wave Ken) Techniques taught to him by Genkai. --Renshya - double shot, sending one reigun immeddiately after the first. --Rei Kou Dan Clean Hit - Shooting the spirit energy out in an arc rather than as a ball so it covers more ground in the counter attack. --Jyu Rei Jyou Ante - (Luminescent Spirit Ante) This is more of a showing off than an attack. Yuusuke let's his Ki go unchecked. --Reigeki Ring - Using the spirit power enhancing ring to create one huge blast of the rei gun.
Kuwabara is also a self declared, "Number 1 Delinquent of Sarayashiki Jr. High School". Of course, it's the same school that Yuusuke attends. ^^;; Kuwabara used to fight with Yuusuke every day. He lost over 156 times in a row to Yuusuke. He is probably the second strongest student of the school. He becomes a part of the group when he goes to speak with Genkai about his ESP. They both compete to learn her Spirit Wave techniques and during the match, Kuwabara meets Botan. He immediately asks her if she will "go out with him on the premise that they will someday marry" which sort of freaks Botan out.
Later on in the contest, Kuwabara learns how to form his Rei power into a sword which he calls Rei Ken (spirit sword). He insists on helping Yuusuke out once he discovers what kind of work Yuusuke has to do for the spirit world. He also, later, falls in love with Yukina, the pretty ice demon who was kidnapped and held hostage by Toguro and Tarukane.
Kuwabara is loud and rambunctious but a nice guy with a soft spot for a pretty girl, or a kitty. ^.^ Kuwabara's techniques:
--Rei Ken he can form a sword using spiritual energy. --Rei Ken Nobiro Spiritual sword extend he can extend the sword -He can connect the sword to its'self -He is very creative -He also has an extremely high level of Rei Kan (ESP) -Using this he can also sense Rei Ki and You (demon or evil) Ki --Tameshi no Ken Using the hilt Suzuki gave him, Kuwabara can triple his ken's abilities (shaping it as he pleases) and double the power behind it. --Jigen Tou An upgraded form of the Rei Ken. It is much more powerful than its former version, and can actually slice through dimensional walls.
~~Shuichi Minamino / Youko Kurama~~ Kurama is a very old demon fox named Ryouko, with nine tails. He was one of the best known theives of the Maikai (demon world). At one point, he was caught and shot by a hunter and so, severly wounded he came to the human world to be re-born.
When Kurama was re-born in the human world, as Shuichi Minamino, he learned the meaning of love and compassion from his human mother. He risked his life to save hers at one point. This has earned him Yuusuke's respect. He became a Spirit World Detective and helps Yuusuke with his missions. His human body is 15-18 years old depending on where you are in the show. While his demonic form is over 1000, and even this varies, I haven't reached an explanation in the manga yet but of course I can't read straight Japanese as well as I wish I did. He's pretty old, and I would assume at some point one would loose track of one's own age anyway. Some of his techniques are:
--Rose Whip - A whip with thorns that can slice through stone like butter and through steel. --Fuuka Enbu Jin -He can also create a torrent of razor sharp rose petals to rain down around him. -Youko Kurama has perfect control over all Maikai plants (this includes the nasty blood sucking kind) -Shuichi can control human world plants. --Shimaneki - demon world grass, Kurama can plant the seed on an opponent and it will grow in the unknowing host untill it binds their action. Upon Kurama's request it will bloom, bursting the blood vessels of the opponent, killing them. --Tsukeyaki Blade Kurama turns a blade of grass into a sword. --Katate de Ichigeki (One handed blow) Simple move used against Roto in the Ankoku Bujutsukai.
Hiei is a fire demon with a cold demanour. He was born into an ice demon clan as a child, and because they discovered that he was a fire demon, they gave him the boot. Hiei spent much of his time being a youkai delinquent and looking for his lost sister, Yukina the pretty blue-haired, demure, ice demon (see Koorime).
Hiei and Kurama are old friends and both came to the human world after stealing objects from the Spirit World. Kurama stole the mirror of utter dark and Hiei, a sword, "The Ghost Slayer", with a poisious blade that could turn any human into a demonic minion. Hiei had a Jagan (demon eye) implanted on his forhead so this is why he often wears a headband. He is also an expert swordsman. Some of his techniques are:
--Speed - Hiei is quicker than the human eye. It appears that he's phasing but he's simply moving so quickly that you can only catch a residual picture here and there. --Jagan - Hiei's third eye gives him the power to see great distances as well as control people. --Fire - obviously he can do some pretty tricks with fire being a fire demon. Including the following:
--The Jaou Ensatsu Rengoku Shou (Swift Demon Purgatory wound -geh, my translation is weird!) is his multiple-hit Ki punch attack Hiei uses, with fire forming around his fists, he proceeds to pummel his opponent rapidly. --The Jaou Ensatsu Ken - Hiei summons black fire in the form of a sword around his right fist. He dosn't like to use this though, because it looks like Kuwabara's Rei Ken and of course, he thinks that anything relating to Kuwabara is obnoxious and clumsy. --The Jaou Ensatsu Koku Ryu Ha is the most powerful of Hiei's attacks. Literally, The Flying Black Dragon Wave of Destruction, The Koku Ryu Ha, when dormant, is a black dragon tattoo on Hiei's right forearm. When he calls on it, it manifests its'self from the same arm as dragon of black fire, that destroys everything in its path.. Only Mukuro, and Bui, were able to stand up against this attack. Because they did so, the Kokuryuhaa came back at Hiei and he was possessed by it.
Genkai is an old woman who lives in a dojo in Yuusuke's city. She used to be a Spirit World Tantei but upon the completion of one tournament and the loss of her partner (not death, just loss) she is no longer a Tantei. She passes her amazing techniques down to Yuusuke when he wins her tournament and defeats Rando.
Genkai was very beautiful as a young girl and she is still very spry, she could beat most of the punks that show up in the show. She's very smart but she's also very rough with people. Some of her techniques are:
--Forms of Rei Kou Hadou Ken (Heavenly spiritual strength dicipline) such as the ability to kill an opponent leaving no traces of him. --Rei Handou (Spirit Wave)which can cure spiritual impidements or knock people out. --Rei Kou Kyou Han Shyo - Sending the ki back at it's weilder. She uses this to beat Shishiwakamaru. --Supine Kick Kougeki (Supine Kick Strike) Used on minor demons. More martial art than spirit power attack.
Ko-Enma is the Junior Lord of the Spirit World. When we first meet him, he is in the form of a toddler and he gives Yuusuke an egg as the Test of Resurrection, to see if Yuusuke is worthy of being brought back to life. He is very busy, always stamping papers and worrying over problems in the three worlds. We don't see his father very often, only once or twice such as when a very scared Ko-Enma goes to ask him a favor and later in the Sensui arc in which Botan spends the better part of two episodes in his office.
Ko-Enma also has a Teenage form, which is very bishounen. He uses this when he visits the Makai for the tournament with the Toguro brothers. In his Teenage form, the Jr. imprinted on his toddler hat, is replaced with a Jr. tattoo on his forehead. Obviously symbolizing that he is the Jr. Lord of the Spirit World. Ko-enma's waza:
--The pacifier - Ko-Enma holds and builds his ReiKi up in his pacifier. It's not just for show. Of course, you've never seen cute till you see a sixteen year old boy sucking on a pacifier like nothing is abnormal. ^.^; --Mafuu Kan - Well I finally got to see it! I was basically correct before. All of KoEnma's stored up powers are released from the pacifier. It has the power to seal a demon away permanently (basically kill the demon physically and destroy his soul, when it's effective >< we won't get into that.) Anyway, he doesn't use it in the tournament. The first person he ever uses it on in the series is Sensui. That is all I will say about that one, I know you don't want me to spoil it for you. --Delegation - Ko-Enma is a good delegator. Just look at George (Jorju) the Oni, Botan, and all the Reikai Tantei. --Buka ni Atari Basically this one means bossing people around. He succesfully cows subordinates. ^^;; (Taken from a powerlevel card)
Botan is from Buddist traditional beliefs, she is the navigator of the Sanza no Kawa (a river in the spirit world). She leads the spirits of dead humans to Enma to be judged before they go on. In western culture, the closest approximation would be the ferryman of the dead in greek mythology. Basically Botan is Death. She isn't the grim kind you always think of, dressed in black and carrying a scythe, typical skeleton. Botan is a cheerful, blue haired spirit girl who rides an oar (don't mix that up with a paddle and don't call her a witch. :P ) and works directly under KoEnma.
Botan has a book that she keeps with her, called The Book of Enma. Enma is the lord of the dead and thus this is like a profile of all the people in the world and when they are supposed to die, how, their whole life, etc.
Botan actually becomes an assistant to the Reikai Tantei and is the bearer of KoEnma's words. She also brings the boys spirit devices to improve their fighting skills. She sometimes, though, forgets how to use some of them. She is slightly bubble brained but I think she's probably very smart. Just also very enthusiastic. Some of her techniques are:
--The Oar - Botan's oar is a creation of her Ki, that she uses to ride from and to the Spirit World. She can also use it to hit people which she does indeed do on occasion. --The Bat - Botan has a metal baseball bat which she fondly likes to use in order to knock out some of the less talented youkai. *ping* Itai... --Spirit World Insecticide - For the use of killing spirit world insects. Basically Spirit World Raid. ^.^ --Healing Wave - Botan has the ability to heal using her Rei Ki. Of course this should be used with accompyaning medicine or she drains her own soul of it's energy. It can be used with out medication, however, and still be successful. --Her fist - Though not as effective as Keiko's slap, Botan can throw a mean left hook and apparently it dosn't feel nice.
Keiko is a childhood friend of Yuusuke's. When we start out the story she is one of the few people willing to stand up to him. They are very close, and it becomes obvious after the first few episodes that the relationship between Keiko and Yuusuke is a bit more warm than friendship.
Keiko is responsible for bringing Yuusuke back to life (even though she was almost too late to breath him back to life) She is also close friends with Botan. Keiko doesn't really have "techniques" per say however:
-She has a slap that can knock Yuusuke flat so it must have some serious power behind it. -She has done her fair shair of kicking bad guy butt. -She can scream like the dickens. -She's immensley smart. Top of her class, class president, you get the idea.
Yukina is Hiei's twin sister. When Hiei was discharged from the floating city, Yukina was spared. However she has spent much of her life mourning the loss of her brother and looking for him. She has no idea that he is near her all the time. Usually watching over her.
Yukina is sweet tempered and loves animals. She is very kind and easily confused. She doesn't seem to understand Kuwabara's advances toward her, but obviously likes him. During Yukina's search for her brother, she was captured by Tarukane. Tarukane forced her to cry in order to get her teargems. However, it comes to the attention of ReiKai that Tarukane is doing this (and capturing demons just for resale among other things. The Reikai Tantei are dispatched and Hiei finally discovers the wherabouts of his sister. Yukina is an ice-demon and thusly has powers:
-Temperature - She can lower the temperature of the air around her creating a barrier of biting cold, freezing anything in the vicinity. -Healing - Like most fighting Anime's the girls with powers tend to be healers. Yukina has this ability, much like Botan does. --Pearls of Heaven: Her ice powers form a crystal-like cloud and rains darts of sharp ice that doesn't injure but freezes their target. (Thanks to Hiei's friend for this information; this is from the third movie an unofficial release approved by Togashi but not created by him.)
Shizuru is Kuwabara's older sister, yet she looks nothing like him. She beats up her brother whenever he acts or does something stupid. Despite this, she wants Kuwabara to get an education and come home safe from battles so she takes it upon herself to make sure he studies, eats well and stays out of trouble much like a mother would. She's a chain smoker. She has psychic abilities like her brother, and as a result can sense demons. Don't piss her off and don't even think of taking her cigarette from her mouth. She's the sister of Kuwabara Kazuma and has no problem beating the stuffing out of people that irritate her. In the Anime series she has an emotional connection to Sakuyo and the results of the Ankoku Bujutsukai leave her quite shaken.
***SUPPORTING*** The supporting characters show up throughout the show and most don't have very large cast roles. But they do deserve to be mentioned:
~~Atsuko Urameshi~~
Atsuko is the young(28 years old), single mother of Yuusuke Urameshi. She spends days at a time at the bar and has no job. She does, however care a great deal about her son she worries constantly that he will die again, and makes sure he is admitted to school (even bringing gangsters(yakuzo) along to 'reason' with the superintendant.) She is alchoholic and has many problems but she has a good heart.
Jorge is the blue oni that is constantly at KoEnma's beck and call. He puts up with all the abuse KoEnma throws at him and is in the constant state of panic/weeping. He is a commentator for most of the battles throughout the show and even helps Koto out toward the end. He's an excellent groveller. All in all he's just a nice guy that seems not to mind being abused by people around him.
Sayaka in the anime is a spiritual investegator sent by KoEnma to see how Yuusuke is doing at growing his egg. It is her job to decide if having him come back to life will really be a good idea. Despite her childish appearence she is very intellegent.
In the manga, Sayaka is a little girl spirit that is very lonely. She lures a little boy into her house and plays with him, but it starts to tax on his living soul and Yuusuke and Botan have to settle Sayaka's spirit.
Hinageshi - Is another Ferry girl that works under Botan. She shows up only in the movie to fight against Yakumo. She wears a traditional shrine maiden outfit (white kimono with red hakama) and seems to look up to Botan as a mentor. Hinageshi acts slightly younger than Botan, and obviously doesn't have as many years experience behind her.
Another boatman of the dead, she spends most of her time researching for KoEnma. She is much calmer than both Botan and Hinageshi and seems lethargic much of the time. According to another fan that has read all the way through the manga, KoEnma has a thing for Ayame and Botan cheers him on in his pursuits of her. You decide what it means.
This is Kurama's human mother. She begins the show with a very weak heart, and is in the hospital. Later on she marries a man who has another son with Kurama's same human name. (Yes it's confusing.) She's a very warm and loving woman who would do anything for her son.
This is Kurama's step-brother. He's younger and really looks up to Kurama. The two get along very well. He is later used as a tool to get Kurama's cooperation in the Makai. We all know what happens when you threaten someone Kurama cares about ^^;;
These three guys are members of Kuwabara's gang. They all act tough but are really nice guys who enjoy playing videogames and defending their school's honor. Okubo himself, has a part time job and has to take care of his sick mother and his siblings. He's the one you find out the most about. They all care about Kuwabara a great deal just like Kuwabara cares for them.
Is the principal of Saraiashiki Junior High School. He's a kind man who worries about his students and truely wants them to succeed. He makes it his mission to help the troubled students even when they don't want to be helped. He keeps the other teachers in line whenever he catches them doing things to harm the students. He's very fair and just.
Is one of the corrupt teachers of Sarayashiki, he tries to make Okubo loose his part time job by tricking Kuwabara into fighting then making him get a good score on a test. He even erases one of Kuwabara's answers so he'll fail after prodding from Iwamoto.
Iwamoto is a big, burly teacher that is out to get Urameshi. He is disgusted by the boys reputation and wants him out of the school. He worries exceedingly about the school's reputation and how students like Urameshi and Kuwabara degenerate it. He never seems to realize he is just as bad as the students he is out to get.
Is Kuwabara's cat, a very cute little ball of fur that is used against Kuwabara at one point. Kuwabara really loves cats and you can see him playing with Eikitchi throughout the series.
~~The Reikai Special Defense Team (Toku Mo Da Yo)~~
A group of people from Reikai who's job it is to put out any fires that arise in the three worlds, so to speak. When a major problem erupts and the regular lackies can't handle it, these are the strongest of the Reikai who go to try and put an end to the problem.
Is an ex Rei Kai tantei. She is a little like Yuusuke, personality-wise. Obviously she has calmed down with age but she is still an excellent fighter. She used to be short and overweight. In one year she grew a foot and didn't gain any weight, this was the same year she became a spirit detective. She now has two children both with spiritual power and a husband who is completely normal, and writes.
This is Kuroko's husband, he is a novelist and a calm man. He has no spiritual powers like his wife or his children do, and the whole spirit thing intrigues him and scares him at the same time. He truly loves his wife and children and seems to enjoy Yuusuke's company too.
These are the ever exciteable children of the Kuroko household. They inherited their spunk and rei-ki from their mother. They enjoy guarding the house and pretending to be drunk, they get along well with Yuusuke.
Puu is the result of Yuusuke's spiritual test. He is the spirit monster born from the egg that Yuusuke used for the Trial of Resserection. Puu is quiet and sweet, he helps when he can. He can fly flapping his long ears. He also feels any pain that Yuusuke feels. If Yuusuke dies, Puu will die with him.
Koto is the announcer for both the Ankoku Bujutsukai and the Makai Bujutsukai. She is a cat demon and good at acrobats. She's extremely enthusiastic and nearly fearless. She's a crowd favorite.
Juri was the refree in the Ankoku Bujutsukai. She is a sea demon and judges very fairly. She knows the rules backward and forward. She's a little timid on occasion but so would anyone who had to be in the midst of the malay caused by the fighters in that tournament.
***GENKAI*** The second mission Yuusuke has is to enter Genkai's tournament. Genkai is a master of Rei Kou Hadou Ken but is getting on in years and wants to pass her technique on to the most suitable successor. So she holds a tournament. Unfortunately a demon named Rando joins the tournament so he can get her power and use it to experiment on humans. The main cast in this arc are the following:
~~Koumori Tsukai / The Bat Tamer~~
Appears in the episode where Genkai is trying to find an apprentice to pass down her Rei Handou. He is very quick but no challenge to Yuusuke after his fight w/ Hiei. He dosn't really attack or anything. Quite disappointing but it was amusing to watch Yuusuke take out some of his anger on him.
Is the green haired man who fought Yuusuke in Genkai's dark arena. He uses a mask to block out any sensory reception so he can focus on finding an opponent's Ki signatures.
--Zantou Senpuu Geki A throw that whirls the opponent while they fly through the air.
Is a ninja that serves as a personal bodyguard to a VIP. He fights Kuwabara in the Finals of Genkai's apprentice tests. He uses his Rei Ki emitted from his palm in a sort of a cannon effect. He also uses exploding throwing knives.
Claims to be a wandering shoulin master, he remains an enigma for the greater part of the tournament. Later we discover he is not quite what he seems.
--As Shoulin he uses the Shoulin-ka-shou-happa-ken which are fireballs, these he forms in his hand and throws at his opponent. --Also as Shoulin, Zan Kuu Reppuu-jin A trick called Whirlpool Phenomenon of "Weasel's Slash". When a vaccum is formed with the air, the air in the body makes a cut on the skin as if cut by a sickle, in the effort to keep the balance of air pressure inside and outside the body.
Rando is a demon that specializes in stealing killing techniques and testing them out on humans. Ko-Enma-sama leaves the capturing of Rando up to Yuusuke. Rando only has to see a move once in order to emulate it if it's simple enough. He manages to copy Yuusuke's Rei Gun which freaks Yuusuke out completely. He's quite sadistic. His techniques:
-Rando can make a demonic web which is virtually unbreakable and he quite enjoys tossing Yuusuke around with it. --Rei Gun Hasshya Copying Yuusuke's Rei Gun, he uses demon power instead of spirit power. -He has a stolen technique invented a long time ago by the famous founder of a confucianist sect and a samauri who spent over half their lives developing it. It can cause an opponent's body to shrink rapidly for the convienence of easy and painful torture which with Rando, usually results in death.
***SHISEJYU*** The third mission, and Kurama and Hiei's first, is to save the human world from attacks of demonic insects. The insects are under the control of the four demon beasts that have an insect flute. The Yuusuke-tachi have to go and destroy the flute to save humanity, while Botan and Kieko fight of mobs of insect-possessed humans who want them DEAD.
~~Genbu~~
Genbu is first of the four sacred beasts. Kurama fights him very gracefully. The scary thing about Genbu is that he is entirely made of rock and can move freely through the rock walls, floor and ceiling of his room attacking randomly. He can also break apart his body and put it back together so no matter how many times he is broken apart he isn't killed.
Byakko is the second and toughest of the four sacred beasts. He fights with Kuwabara. He looks like a large tiger w/ sabre teeth. He's got a bad attitude and is very grumpy. His techniques are:
-Monster Beasts - He can create small level monster beasts with just one of his hairs. They're pretty tough to kill too. --Kiyodai ka - He absorbs Kuwabara's Rei Ken, using the energy as food. --Mei Ko Shou Kai Ha - known as the Roaring Tiger Destruction Wave. This attack changes things that touch the wave to dust. A roar of ultra vibration, resulting in molecular destruction. Even Hiei marvels at this attack.
Seriyuu is the third sacred beast, he looks almost human but has a reptilian look at the same time. I think he's probably part dragon since legendary Seriyuu is the chinese god of dragons. He fights with Hiei wich is good because he's dang fast and Hiei is the only one with a chance against him. His technique is:
--Ma Tou Tou Ryuu Ken Which is Evil Dragon Freezing Fist. This technique is simply put, rapidly punching with almost absolute zero degree freezing fists as fast as possible. So he freezes his opponent then cracks them apart.
The final, and leader, of the sacred beasts. Suzaku looks most human of all the other beasts. He's kinda cute. He is kind of buggy though I think, his red front bangs appear to be feelers wich is kinda freaky. He fights with Yuusuke. In Chinese mythology, Suzaku is the phoenix god. Suzaku's techniques include:
--Created Humans - Their shape is like a human's but they don't have any intellegence or thoughts of their own. They are beasts absolutely obedient to the orders of the being who laid the spell on them. The look like swamp monsters. ^^;; --Ankoku Raijin Ken - Black Thunderbolt Attack. A martial art which creates dark energy called You Rai Ha(evil thunder wave) It has the power to burn an ordinary person to charcoal in a flash. --Yami Oogi Ankoku-You-Rou-Jin Black Evil Encircle Formation. Suzaku creates six more of himself in order to fight. Each has the same power as the origional and if you don't kill all six, he can revive and use their power to heal himself. --Shichi Goku Ankoku-Rai-Kou-Ha Seven Hell Black Lightening Wave, basically the Ankoku Raijin Ken, using a bow made of maiki to shoot the power, all seven Suzakus shoot at the same time.
