Long before the arrival of Jujutsu Kaisen, he thought about exploring the ever darker side of the Shonen Yu Yu Hakusho, known here by us as Yu the Ghosts. In addition to the similarities to the basic theme, the protagonist Yusuke Hurameshi also shares some similarities with Yuji Itadori. Here are some of its secrets.

Just like the protagonist of Gege Akutami's work, who could probably have been inspired by Yu Yu Hakusho for creating his work, is Yusuke too a raw talent, a young boy with impressive physical abilities even before he even acquired his demonic powers.

Fourteen year old Yusuke actually owns an impressive strength and at the beginning of the work we see how he challenges and eliminates entire gangs of criminals all by himself. In his first official mission as a detective of the spirit world, we see Yusuke lifting a fallen tree and using it as a weapon against the demon Gouki. This proves he's insanely strong even before he starts training with Genkai.

In addition to the apparent superhuman strength is the Resistance from Yusuke it is amazing. Even when his companions are exhausted, he can continue any fight. For example, we see him running for five days in a row at work to help his friends in the fight against the Demon King, or for over 60 hours with Yomi in the Demon World Tournament. Exceptional resistance even by demonic standards.

Despite the looks, Yusuke owns a keen mind and can sense when a person presents himself as a threat or a friend. The protagonist always keeps his watch, but when he realizes that there is no danger he becomes relaxed and casual.

Much of its capabilities are based on the fact that the demon Raizen is his ancestor. Back when humans and demons lived together, Raizen was drawn into a fight and wounded. It was a human woman who saved him. Despite his initial desire to eat her, he eventually fell in love with her when she gave birth to a child, Yusuke.

Hence by inheriting the Lineage and demonic blood His father's Yusuke can use both spirit and demonic energy at will. Using this energy, he can also enter Mazoku State.

YuYu Hakusho's manga ended badly due to a selfish request from Togashi. Netflix and Toho Studios will produce a live-action series of Yu of the Specters.
