Yu Yu Hakusho consists of 112 episodes and is divided into several arcs, each with its unique challenges and adversaries.
Yoshihiro Togashi's Yu Yu Hakusho concluded its influential run in Weekly Shonen Jump over thirty years ago, yet it remains one of the most beloved battle shonen series. This iconic manga chronicles the adventures of Yusuke Urameshi, a teenage delinquent who becomes a Spirit Detective. Tasked with defending the living world from a myriad of demons, ghosts, and monsters, Yusuke faces numerous challenges.
Before creating Hunter x Hunter, Togashi was primarily known for Yu Yu Hakusho. The manga's tremendous success led to the creation of an equally popular anime series. With more than 100 episodes, movies, and OVAs, Yu Yu Hakusho thrived upon its release, establishing Togashi's work as a signature '90s shonen series that remains as popular in its anime form as in its manga.
