Yu Yu Hakusho

Summary

The big businessman scale in Netflix’sYu Yu Hakushois similar to that of the anime , but some important conflict must be considered when ranking the main fictitious character from weak to strongest . TheNetflix live - action mechanism anime adaptationbrings the Spirit Detective saga to life history but also include fights from the Demon World tournament . Not every conflict from the gum anime happens in the adaptation , and noteveryYu Yu Hakushocharactermatches the reference material in term of strong point or skill .

Whereas Yusuke has a duo of important fights throughout the live - natural action show , most case only get to show their full might duringYu Yu Hakusho ’s end . This include Younger Toguro , who come in his 100 % form during his first and only fight against Yusuke . This exemplifies howthe anime major power level are not of necessity the same ones for the Netflix show .

8Koenma Never Fights In The Live-Action Show

King Enma Jr. only enters the human world once

Despite his importance to the world ofYu Yu Hakusho , King Enma Jr. is not a powerful attack aircraft , at least not in the human world . When face up Sakyo in the human cosmos , the only affair Koenma can do is make a bet against the villain , all but confirming that he would not have been able to break off him or any other threats by himself . This matches what encounter in theYu Yu Hakushoanime , during which Koenma acknowledge that he would not be able to outwit Sakyo in a fight . King Enma Jr. may rein over the Spirit World , but in terms of man - base power grade , he range low .

7Kuwabara Has High Spiritual Awareness But Lacks Training

His signature technique is the Spirit Sword

Kuwabara is the “ most human ” of theYu Yu Hakushoprotagonists . Yusuke visited the Spirit World and was guided by Botan , and both Kurama and Hiei are yokai . Kuwabara , on the other hand , has scantily any idea of what is going on during the initial portion of the story . Still , he has high spiritual awareness , meaning Kuwabara can experience and even see existence from the Spirit World – which is something most homo can not . Kuwabara ’s feel sensibility is symbolized by his Spirit Sword , which he naturally develop while take aim with Genkai . Though he has a very sinewy proficiency , Kuwabara is not as skillful in combat as the yokai or Yusuke .

6Elder Toguro Is A Shapeshifter Who Lacks Other Skills

He is no match for Younger Toguro

Not much is shown from Elder Toguro in Netflix’sYu Yu Hakusho , although he does get a span of fights that do not appear in the anime . In the alive - action series , Elder Toguro moves freely without his brother most of the time and fights Kuwabara in episode 5 . older Toguro also hit the sentry duty who was trying to make unnecessary Yukina . sr. Toguro is presented as a shapeshifter who can turn any part of his consistency into a weapon . However , in footing of cobwebby strength , Elder Toguro is not too muscular . The Younger Toguro sent his brother to the other side of the island with nothing but a puncher .

5Kurama Is A Skillful Yokai With A Secret Form

Kurama’s true form is far more powerful than his human one

Kurama is one of the most expert and creative fighters inYu Yu Hakusho . Whereas Yusuke ’s fight style is more raw and based on relatively uncomplicated moving picture , Kurama combines traditional hand - to - deal combat with his demonic plant use . Kurama shine in mid and long - reach combat , with his plants doing most of the weighed down lifting during a competitiveness . However , when thing become complicated , Kurama can infix his demon fox form . fit in to the anime ’s power shell , Kurama ’s real form is 20 time strong than his human one . That said , Kurama struggled against Karasu in the live - action mechanism , and his sheer power never match that of Hiei in the seed material .

4Hiei Was Nerfed In The Live-Action Show

His live-action counterpart seems weaker

Hiei looks a routine weaker in the live - natural process adaption compared to the anime . The Netflix serial also does not give Hiei too many minute in which he can shine , although it does portray his hurrying in a very accurate yet naturalistic way of life . Hiei is one ofYu Yu Hakusho ’s most powerful characters , and there is always a disputation on how he and Yusuke compare . In the live - action mechanism , the two battle twice , with neither of the fights having a vindicated victor . However , regard that Hiei fails to beat Younger Toguro , who is then overcome by Yusuke , the speedster demon grade lower than the master character .

3Genkai Is Past Her Prime But Still Incredibly Strong

She never actually fights anyone on-screen

In her prime of life , Genkai was easy the strongest human being in the domain ofYu Yu Hakusho . An argumentation can even be made that she was still the most muscular man even at her current geezerhood . Her secret technique , the Spirit Bomb , is what eventually kills Toguro at the terminal of the show . Yu Yu Hakushodoes not show Genkai combat , and she is killed by Toguro off - screen . As a result , there are not too many element that help delineate her power horizontal surface in the bouncy - action show . Still , the fact she trained Yusuke and was perceived as a scourge by Toguro can not be disregard .

2Younger Toguro Is Ridiculously Powerful

He uses 100% of his power in episode 5

Netflix ’s version of Younger Togurowas very unlike from the source textile in terms of how the theatrical role ’s backstory was disclose . Additionally , either springy - action Toguro is infirm than his anime similitude or Yusuke is stronger than his . The fact is that “ 100 % Toguro ” should not have been overcome by an inexperienced Yusuke who had just completed his first right grooming with Genkai . Even with this major difference between the Zanzibar copal and the unrecorded - action , Younger Toguro is still ridiculously inviolable . He hire on Kuwabara , Yusuke , Kurama , and Huei at the same timeand is only defeated by the Spirit Wave .

1Yusuke Is More Powerful In The Live-Action Than In The Anime

He defeats 100% Toguro in their first encounter

By the ending of theYu Yu Hakushoanime , Yusuke is , without surprise , the most powerful character in the series . This makes sense look at he is the protagonist , and his skills hail both from intense training and his spiritual awareness , as well as other primal informant of power he unlocks throughout the story . Yusuke is also the substantial character by the goal of the resilient - action , although he only trained with Genkai before killing 100 % Toguro in what was the biggest divagation from the source cloth . Yusuke preserve up with Hiei base on his lifelike skills only is one thing , but killing Toguro so easy was a scrap too much .

By skipping the Dark Tournament , Netflix’sYu Yu Hakushoalso skip an important part of Yusuke ’s development . There is little way for the fictional character to probably work up as a fighter , which constitute Younger Toguro finger weaker than he should be . no matter , having Yusuke save the day with the technique her deceased master instruct him was a good way to conclude the alive - action mechanism adaptation . Few Zanzibar copal tropes are more famous than the “ power of friendly relationship , ” andYu Yu Hakushocaptures it by have Yusuke get the military posture he needs when he think of his mentor and all of the people who are count on him .
