Yu Yu Hakusho 1.02

#yyh live action #yusuke urameshi #keiko yukimura

[mazokutattoo]

Say whatever you like about the yu yu hakusho live action, but in those 5 episodes I saw a labor of love from a team of people who probably grew up watching and reading yu yu hakusho.

It is so plain to me that the folks who worked on it loved the original story, and they did a fucking great job. I saw it in all the little details, and in the way they threaded together the different plots to achieve the same themes and emotional beats.

Yu yu hakusho is a story so close to my heart, and it got me through so much. Watching the live action felt like a love letter from one fan to another.

If you'll excuse me I have to go watch it 300 more times. Kisses 💋

Hiei reminds me of a cat cuz cats are the ultimate killing machine too, but they’re so cute and small and fluffy with big eyes that you kind of end up just adopting them when they stumble into your life being aggressive or friendly. Yusuke and Kurama adopted Hiei. And Kuwabara is a dog Hiei is forced to hang around with cuz Yusuke is a dog person more than cat person. Also Yukina is Hiei’s favourite. Like how a cat has 1 favourite human. Are people seeing my vision?

i LOVE how yusuke is never a moral compass. he's never even shown pretending to be one. the author never even tries to trick the audience into thinking he is one. (like gon)

in the NINTH episode he doesnt even want to attempt to save people on a three day weekend until BRIBED. hes not a piller that crumbles, or a wall that stands firm. hes not even an askew line that slowly straightens into a more morally upright fellow.

hes a morally ambiguous person the whole time.

When I hear “no but Hiei actually hates Kuwabara” I’m like ???? Did we watch the same thing?? Mc-scuse me?? Hiei does NOT hate Kuwabara. He dislikes his demeanor but Hiei and Kuwabara have SO MUCH in common and a lot of respect for each other. They both have their code! They both have their complicated rules! Through the dark tournament they both learned that the other is more like themselves than they ever would’ve guessed. The difference is, that they are coming from different places with different THINGS they value. Hiei values his independence and self-sufficiency. Kuwabara values his own pride and word as a man. Hiei learns to respect some humans through watching Kuwabara (and Yusuke) never give up on his own values, and Kuwabara learns to look at things a little more in depth, no matter how he might feel initially. They clash because they both have unbreakable character. Yes, there was disgust/hate I guess at first, but like do you think Hiei would tolerate Kuwabara fawning over Yukina, his SISTER, if he hates Kuwabara so much? Absolutely not.

#hiei yyh #kazuma kuwabara #to understand Hiei it's important to understand that he’s still very young in demon yrs #aka an adolescent #(how do we know this? ice maidens reproduce asexually every 250 yrs and Yukina is childless) #a lot of Hiei's aggression & ill-temperedness comes into context better #if you view him as another teenager with a chip on his shoulder a la Yusuke & Kuwabara #yyh meta

Kurama is such a complex character, god love him. The way I see him is: I mean he’s literally actually only Yoko Kurama.

“Oh he’s here. He’s me.”

So we have three personas here: Kurama, Yoko Kurama, and Shuuichi Minamino. While he has these three identities, he doesn’t have three personalities. That is to say, he’s one being, two different pieces that merged.

That’s where shit gets really interesting. My interpretation of this is that the merger came packaged with a human soul and body, and that the human parts are what gives him a conscience and a heart and a moral compass, and things such as. I doubt this is an original idea I just wanted to muse lol.

Shuuichi doesn’t bring a different personality. I think Shuuichi provided the things that make us human and a body. Those things are part of the human soul. Empathy, guilt, love. Yoko was always still himself, it’s how Kurama remembers everything, it’s literally just him. He’s simply changed as a person due to being plagued with humanity.

And that’s such a fun idea to me. Yoko Kurama, the legendary bandit, king of thieves—having personality rehab via the human experience. I think it just changed him the way anyone can change, sorta. He begins to feel pretty shitty about the things he’s done and feels guilty about everything with regards to his mother. All this comes together and makes him…a better version of himself? A better person? And I like that.

there is no Shuuichi outside of an adopted persona/identity for Kurama—like I don’t think he brought anything outside of what comes with nature, genetics, and a human soul (which I personally don’t think is the sum of someone’s personality, just what gives them spiritual life? If that makes sense).

But man, it makes me love Kurama so much more when I don’t think of Yoko as a different self or something that can be abandoned, it’s simply a previous version of himself. The past. So I think his 15 years as semi-human simply gave Yoko some insane character development.

Experiencing being unconditionally loved—the very idea that a relationship need not be transactional—being loved beyond what you can do for them. Being loved for existing, and nothing else. I truly think that his humanity responded well to being loved during the “early childhood development” stage and it gives him a way more stable sense of self than he should have tbh

And much like actual prison (or maybe more accurately rehab or inpatient etc), he has nothing but time and passes it by taking up interests and hobbies. He got to find stuff he enjoys about being human and ningenkai. He already liked plants obviously, but it’s so sweet to imagine him really developing an interest in botany and gardening and keeping houseplants etc. Learning to cook with Shiori and actually really liking it—I mean hey he gets to use some of those plants he’s been growing.

Big reader, obviously. He wants to know everything, and he knows so much already, yet humans keep inventing new shit to learn about, so that works out well. School and education get to be competitive sports that he’s the best at, again obviously. All manner of puzzles, games (tabletop and video of course), mystery books and films; if you can analyze it or crack a code somehow, he’s good with it. A real people-watcher, the disdain for humanity begins to fade over time and observation—they’re not so bad after all.

I like that he grows very comfortable in his human form. He’s pretty and appears to really own that (he lucked out there, huh? Incubated in a human that will be so attractive in the future lol), and I think that being raised by his mother (and perhaps this is some of that aforementioned Shuuichi nature) has him “in touch with his feminine side.” So I imagine he doesn’t miss his Yoko body too much, until he suddenly gets it back for a moment and is reminded of how good it felt to be himself. Good in a sinful, hedonistic way, that is. He clearly doesn’t want to be that way, but 1000+ year old habits die hard, right?

Idk I love Yoko Kurama that’s all folks that’s one of my headcanons or maybe it’s actually canon who knows. I just wanted to muse about my favorite kitsune.

#yesssssss #kurama yyh

So crazy that Kurama betrayed two of his partners for Yusuke.

#kurameshi #yep #yusuke did an impulsive feat of heroism once and won kurama's everlasting love and devotion #for all time #if u asked yusuke he probably barely remembers offering up his life for kurama & his mom #but i guarantee u kurama has imagined 472262119 romantic scenarios based on that one moment #ever since that night on the hospital roof

#kurameshi #the way he follows him with his gaze 👌✨

[mazokutattoo]

genuinely amazing that for most of the series hiei is still recovering from his jagan surgery. it’s less ‘he’s getting stronger’ and more ‘he’s regaining his strength’.

I love that part in the Dark Tournament when Kuwabara's injured and Hiei and Genkai are trapped in the medical tent so it's Yusuke and Kurama taking on the whole opposing team.
