Yusuke Defeats & Kill Younger Toguro In Yu Yu Hakusho Episode 5

While Toguro is indeed defeated at the end of the Yukina rescue arc in the original story , his destruction only happens in the last catch of the Demon World tournament . Younger Toguro should be the inviolable , toughest adversary Yusuke and his friends had ever fought , and having Urameshi kill the villain in their very first battle removes that aspect of the lineament . In the anime , it is not even Yusuke who gives the final blow against Toguro – it is Kuwabara , using the Spirit Sword . The scoundrel is only defeated due to teamwork , with Yusuke using the Spirit Gun to “ shoot ” Kuwabara toward Toguro .

While there is a sense of teamwork inYu Yu Hakusho ’s conclusion , with all four main characters push Toguro at the same time , it is Yusuke ’s proficiency that ends the conflict and save up the sidereal day . Toguro ’s death in the hot - action pass off on the dot like in the anime , except that it occurs an entire saga earlier . Yusuke is not supposed to be powerful enough to kill Younger Toguro at this point of this story , having just lately concluded his first courtly breeding with Genkai . Yusuke defeating Toguro is supposed to be a releasing moment , and having it happening so earlier compared to the gum anime plays against the show ’s power level .

How Skipping The Dark Tournament Arc Ruined Younger Toguro

disregarding of theYu Yu Hakushopower graduated table , skipping the Dark Tournament and killing Toguro so quick remove a lot from what makes the persona special . The young Toguro brother is introduced as a generic villain working as a henchman , and his only trait is that he is incredibly strong and is looking for a challenge . Toguro ’s persona in the Spirit Detective saga is mainly as muscle for other villains , and it is only in the next saga that he is revealed as an actual building complex , layered type with a gripping backstory . The live - action fuse these two aspects of Toguro ’s role and let on most of his backstory right after his introduction .

There is no time for audience to connect with Toguro as a scoundrel before his redeem qualities and tragical past are shown . As a result , Toguro ’s death , which is follow by him meeting Genkai in a different plane of existence , is much more emotional in the animecompared to the live - natural action . Even though Toguro is defeated in the Spirit Detective saga , the anime makes it clear that he is not using all of his potency . In Netflix’sYu Yu Hakusho , however , Toguro goes 100 % after having just met Yusuke , which fails to capture what made their Dark Tournament combat so extra in the first place .
