Yu Yu Hakusho
Summary
There are multiple fights in the live - actionYu Yu Hakushoseries , from recreation of anime scenes to original combats , and some are better than others . One of the principal thingsNetflix ’s live - action gum anime adaptationofYu Yu Hakushohad to boom was the fights . Fortunately , while many changes were made to the source material , the fights were a highlight of the newYu Yu Hakushoshow .
Some of the fighting featured in the series are more focussed on the martial aspect of it , whereas others let in more particular ability and CGI . MostYu Yu Hakushocharactershave some sorting of special power , from Kuwabara ’s Spirit Sword to Kurama ’s demonic plant manipulation . The bestYu Yu Hakushofights are the I who did both the characters and the informant cloth justice .
Netflix ’s Yu Yu Hakusho makes major changes to the anime , peculiarly in the final episode , with one of Yusuke ’s best fight bump quite betimes .
11Yusuke vs. Kuwabara
Winner: Yusuke
Yusuke vs. Kuwabara is a scene that does not take itself seriously , which does not intend it is not an entertaining one . Any battle between Urameshi and Kuwabara at this point of the level should indeed be played for laughs , yet the alive - action still finds a way to include some solid fight choreography . However , considering that most of the fight takes plaza offscreen and that there are no real stakes involved , Yusuke vs. Kuwabara at the alley can not place too high on the list ofYu Yu Hakusho ’s good fight .
10Yusuke vs. Hiei (Round 2)
No Winner
After Elder Toguro affectation as Hiei to kidnap Keiko , Yu Yu Hakushoraises hopes for a replay between Yusuke and the real Hiei . While they did struggle again , the second combat was even shorter than the first one . Yusuke does not get to show the result of his preparation , whereasHiei feel fast but nothing else . The setting in which the conflict happens is also not too extra – a storage warehouse with nothing for the characters to interact . Lastly , considering how iconic Yusuke overcome Hiei by using a mirror is in the source material , have their second fight end with no clear victor was disappointing .
9Yusuke vs. Hiei (Round 1)
A live - action at law fighting between Yusuke and Hiei was among the most awaited things about the Netflix anime adaptation . alas , neither of their clash live up to their original gum anime fights . Hiei is far more experient than Yusuke at this gunpoint , yet Yusuke is more creative when it make out to find unexpected shipway to win a engagement . Still , these aspect are not translated in their first fight , which is instead a quite generic hand - to - hand combat chronological succession that does not feel as impactful as Yusuke vs. Hiei should be , no matter of the anime . Additionally , the conflict ends dead and with no readable winning .
8Yusuke vs. Genkai
Winner: Genkai
A training match can also make for a great fight . Whilethe goal of Yusuke ’s preparation with Genkai was for him to learn how to properly use his spiritual energy , one of the lesson included hand - to - hand combat . Yusuke had just crusade Hiei , and it was interesting how the stage dancing incorporated his wish to be as fast as the yokai . By defeating Yusuke , Genkai taught him that he could defeat Hiei even if he was never as tight as his resister . The good scrap scene are the ace that combine storytelling with action at law , and this is something Yusuke vs. Genkai did very well .
7Kuwabara vs. Elder Toguro
Kuwabara vs. Elder Toguro was one of manyYu Yu Hakushofights that , according to the source material , should not have happened that betimes in the story . The live - activity series skips the Dark Tournamentbut recreates some of the fights that hap during that arc , now within the context of Yukina ’s rescue . Kuwabara has a abbreviated fight against Elder Toguro , which terminate without a clear winner but includes some coolheaded moments . Seeing Kuwabara expend his Spirit Sword in battle for the first time was fun , and the visual effects used to portray Elder Toguro ’s shapeshifting king look solid . The stakes were high-pitched , and Kuwabara helped sell the emotion of the moment .
6Yusuke vs. Younger Toguro
Yusuke vs. 100 % Toguro is perhaps the most divisive sequence ofYu Yu Hakusholive - activeness , as this scrap only happens at the very end of the Dark Tournament in the anime . There is no construct - up for it in the Netflix series , andhaving Toguro go 100 % against an inexperient Yusuke wholly breaksYu Yu Hakusho ’s force levels . It is arguably impossible to portray Toguro ’s final shape realistically , but the optic selection made for how the mostly CG character was going to attend do n’t quite body of work . There is no sentience of weight , and Yusuke ’s victory does not feel earned .
5Yusuke, Kurama, & Hiei vs. Toguro
Winner: Toguro
Whereas Yusuke vs. 100 % Toguro find anticlimactic and belt along , the fight between Toguro and the trinity formed by Yusuke , Kurama , and Hiei makes for an intense minute that take the show ’s separate storyline together . Yusuke only defeats Toguro for the first time in the anime through teamwork , and this is something the live - action captured , although in a unlike way . Kuwabara is not regard , and none of them gets to defeat Toguro before the scoundrel run low 100 % . Still , the scene unite four different fighting styles yet never becomes too convoluted . Ironically , this adaptation of Toguro feel unattackable than his net form .
Netflix ’s Yu Yu Hakusho made a major variety to the anime ’s Dark Tournament arc , and it ruined both the show ’s power levels and Toguro ’s quality .
4Hiei vs. Bui
Winner: Hiei
“ What go on when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object ” summarizes the battle between Hiei vs. Bui , which happens in one of the final matches of the Dark Tournament in the anime but is recreated much to begin with in the live - activeness serial . After two dissatisfactory fights against Yusuke , Hiei mother to show a bit more of his skill in the baneful peer against Bui . The setting becomes part of the competitiveness , and despite the free weight of his armour , Bui ’s moves feel natural . The blending of wire work and CG doubles is perfect , and Hiei slay his patch feels as important as it should .
3Kurama vs. Karasu
Winner: Kurama
Kurama vs. Karasu is also one of the Dark Tournament fight that befall during the Yukina rescue mission in Neftlix’sYu Yu Hakusho . Kurama ’s gracious moves , mix with his satanic plant handling , make for a unique fight stylethat is not easy to replicate in live - action . luckily , both the optical event and the choreography are solid , resulting in one of the best fights in the whole show . The camera work raise the speed and the strength of both Kurama and Karasu . to boot , despite all the fantastic elements involved , everything feels grounded .
2Yusuke vs. Kirino
One of the best live - actionYu Yu Hakushofights has no twin in the anime – Yusuke vs. Kirino . After being attacked by his bullies , Kirino was infected with one of the Demon World insects and began to release into a yokai . Now a living dead - alike infected with no controller of his bother , Kirino start to fight erratically against everyone in front of him . Yusuke was the only one who could quit Kirino and write him from the insect , but not after an incredible fighting that combine elaborated stage dancing , intense hand - to - hired man scrap , and elusive use of wire employment . Very little CG is involved , and the fight goes on for several minutes .
