BOING BOING 🖐️
A funny scene from the 1994 "Yu Yu Hakusho Gaiden" game for mega drive, an original story that takes place two days before the Dark Tournament.
Demons are popping up all over town, so Koenma sends the guys off to investigate and get to the root of the problem. Reminded me of Maji Battle a little bit.
My favorite part of the game intro is when Botan is looking for the guys to inform that Koenma wants to have a word with them. Hiei's line, "who's disturbing my nap", is the best 😂
The first part of the game is divided into 4 chapters: Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama. Each one takes to the streets to investigate, and eliminate demons.
Yusuke's Chapter
Yusuke is so upset about Toguro being so much stronger than him that he forgets about the mission. He asks this seemingly strong old guy, who saved Keiko from a gang, to teach him his technique. But ... he's trouble.
Gladly, Master Genkai comes to his aid.
Kuwabara's Chapter
All delinquents in town are acting strange. They have suddenly become just and been refusing to fight (isn't that a good thing? lol).
Apparently, they are all attending this strange place called the "Touzai Seminar". Kuwabara sneaks in to investigate, and fights a pumpkin-demon.
The power of love is invincible XD
Guess everything went back to normal.
Hiei's Chapter
Hiei comes across this little girl, but he doesn't have time to play with kids. It's cute that she calls Hiei "onii-chan". Hiei also mentions he's not good dealing with children XD.
Later, she goes missing.
He senses a nostalgic youki in town, and suspects the mastermind behind it is Kuroneko (dark cat), a cat demon who was Hiei's partner during his bandit days.
Kurama's Chapter
It's basically a story about Kurama's mother being kidnapped. Kurama fights some demons and rescues his mother in the museum.
I like this illustration included in the game manual. Kurama is in the museum fighting the dinosaur fossil youkai.
That blue-haired girl is also interesting, looks like Botan a little. She's looking for her dog, Pochi, but Kurama didn't see it. Then, she re-appears as a youma, and Kurama defeats it.
My Red Rose Prince ♡
After investigating and eliminating random demons, they gather at Yusuke's place. They found out that the source of the problem is in a place called Gokumon Island. It's time to go to the Demon World.
After you clear the first part, the familiar eye-catch from the anime shows up.
The second part of the game is on Gokumon Island - Makai.
The imaginary illustration of the island is beautiful (taken from the manual). I think it was inspired by the Maze Castle in Demon City.
Well, Gokumon Chapter is kinda boring. They basically walk around the island, fight demons, help human souls, and defeat the final boss in his tower, a youkai called Choujou (超嬲).
The manual illustration of the final boss castle with Kurama and Yusuke is more exciting.
Btw, even though she's not the real Keiko, it's a cute scene ❤
After defeating the final boss, Gokumon Island disappears. Mission complete! Now, it's time to go to the Dark Tournament.
But, before that, Yusuke meets the real Keiko boss XD. The game ends with the classic boob scene. Yusuke wants to check her reaction, because he was deceived by a fake Keiko last time.
IT'S THE REAL KEIKO!!!!
In the end, the guys lose the shuffle boat to Hanging Neck Island (Dark Tournament) 😂
Poor Hiei and Kurama...
The credits show monochrome images of the Dark Tournament. I like that Atsuko Urameshi appears with the girls instead of Jorge Saotome. Just like the manga!
Sorry for the lame summary, I just shared my fav parts 😅
You can find full walkthroughs of this game on YouTube.
Lastly, some love for my boy Kuwabara ♥ (illustration from the game manual)
