Thoughts of Over 50 years
"Yu Yu Hakusho 100% Maji Battle" Genkai Event
This event was first held on June 10th, 2019, and it is very similar to the event about Toguro, "A demon lives in my heart". But, this time, it's Genkai's thoughts and point of view. Yusuke also appears at the end.
Story: Genkai can't quite agree with Toguro's ideas. As she ponders over his words, a tragedy occurs in the dojo. And then, Toguro has suddenly disappeared from Genkai's sight.

“Thoughts Over 50 Years”
Toguro: Both you and I, we are probably at the peak of our strength right now, right?
Toguro: Lately, I've been thinking that it would be nice if time stopped...
Genkai: What's this, all of sudden?
Toguro: Don't you think so?
Genkai: ...Maybe so.
Toguro: I'm scared.
Toguro: It's not that I'm scared of someone stronger than us appearing.
Toguro: I'm scared to think that when such a person appears, my body will have deteriorated.
Toguro: It's frustrating...
Toguro: Being a human is inconvenient.
Genkai: Really, do you think so? ...
Toguro: I want to obtain a body that will never deteriorate.
Toguro: That'd be simply the greatest!
Genkai: .......
Genkai: If you get old, I'll get old too.
Genkai: That's fine, isn't it?
Toguro: ......
[Genkai ponders over Toguro's words]
Genkai: I've a feeling I saw him in a rare moment of weakness.
Genkai: As time goes by, we will get old. As times change, someone stronger than us will surely appears.
Genkai:
But, that's fine, isn't it?
Genkai: Good grief, the only thing on his mind is fighting. That's the only thing that won't really change...
[At the Dojo]
Genkai: It's unusually quiet...
*slam* (sound of sliding door opening)
Genkai: Th-, this is…!?
Genkai: Hey! Hang in there guys! What happened!?
Genkai: It's useless, they are dead...
Toguro: ........
Toguro: Genkai, is that you?
Genkai: You! That wound!
Toguro: Ka ... it's Kairen's ... work...
Toguro: He's the one who ... our disciples...!
Genkai: Kairen...?
Genkai: What is this guy...!
After the tragedy at the dojo, Toguro disappeared.
Genkai was caught unawares, but she believed that Toguro would surely come back.
And then, the day before the Dark Tournament arrived...
Genkai: No way ... of course he's coming!
Genkai: Jeez, I don't even know what he's doing. I can't believe he's gone away without saying a word.
*tmp* ... *tmp*... (sound of fast steps)
Genkai: ...You! Where the hell you been?
Genkai: .....!
Genkai: He looks different than usual ... As if, his eyes were as sharp as a demon's.
Toguro: ...Genkai.
Toguro: The Dark Tournament, it seems if you win, they'll grant you any wish you desire.
Genkai: When he said that, his eyes became even sharper.
Genkai: I knew right away that the incident with Kairen was the cause of it.
Genkai: Hey you, you didn't even write me. What have you been up to for the past three months?
Toguro: ......
Genkai: Ah, really?
Genkai: Is that your answer...?
Thus, the two headed for the Dark Tournament.
Toguro killed Kairen in the finals, and won the Tournament.
Toguro wished to turn into a youkai, and Genkai wished to never participate in the Tournament again.
Who would have thought that 50 years later, these two would meet in the same venue?
Furthermore, to think that Genkai would see Toguro go to the Myogokukai with her own eyes...
T/N: The Myogokukai (Underworld Prison Realm) is the worst level of Hell where Toguro chose to go.
[50 years later]
Yusuke: -san, baa-san!
Genkai: Huh...
Yusuke: You all right, baa-san? I thought you had finally gone senile.
Yusuke:There you are, you came back within 3 minutes!
Genkai: Idiot, I'm always lucid.
Genkai: Well, I was just immersed in memories.
Yusuke: Immersed in memories? Are you feeling sentimental? That doesn't look like baa-san at all.
Yusuke: Leaving that aside, you're gonna give me a special training today, right?
Yusuke: Hurry, let's do it!
Genkai: Toguro, you were afraid of getting old ... You wanted a body that would never deteriorate.
Genkai: But, when I witness my disciple and lad growing up like this...
Genkai: Getting old isn't so bad.
Yusuke: Baa-san, you ignored me again ... You're finally crazy, ain't you?
Yusuke: Should I ask someone to put you in a nursing home...?
*PUNCH*! (Genkai hits Yusuke)
Yusuke: Ouch!
Yusuke: What the fuck, old hag! That hurts, damn it!
Genkai: You really think I'll be taken care by other people, idiot!?
Genkai: Really, I'm impressed. Yusuke's an idiot and ... you're an idiot too.
Genkai: I bet you won't change even if you die.
Genkai: Really, you're an idiot...
-THE END-
I wish we could learn more about Toguro and Genkai’s past, their relationship, who were the two other members of Team Toguro, and more about Elder Toguro as well. He certainly had a thing for Genkai and was probably scared of her power.

Given that Fish-Men have abilities related to the fish they are based on, I wonder if merfolk have the same trait. So, as a fan of the Mermaid Cafe, I'm going to speculate about abilities based on the known fish types of the mermaids there.
Shyarly: Shyarly is a shortfin mako shark mermaid. This type of shark is known for their speed and athleticism, as well as having specialized blood vessels that allow them to survive in abnormally cold waters. So, Shyarly might be even faster underwater than most mermaids, who are already impressively fast, and shrug off cold.
Camie: Camie is a kissing gourami mermaid. Kissing gourami have an extra joint in their mouths, giving their mouths greater dexterity and movement, and a complex inner ear allowing them to modulate their hearing through air bubbles in the area. Some also host certain types of parasitic algae under their skin. I'm pretty sure that Camie has the extra joint based off of her faces. She also might have enhanced hearing and some ability to control algae.
Ishilly: Ishilly is a striped beakfish mermaid. Striped beakfish (known as ishidai in Japanese) have strong jaws and are known for their sweet-tasting flesh, making them good for sushi. Ishilly might have jaws capable of biting rocks in half.
Hiramera: Hiramera is a olive flounder mermaid. Olive flounders are flat, lying on their sides, and occasionally have parasites in their muscles that give people who eat them raw food poisoning. Hiramera might be able to flatten herself, a bit like Fukurou during his fight with Franky, and anyone who gets a bite out of her will get sick.
Kairen: Kairen is a righteye flounder mermaid. Righteye flounders can change colors to match their substrate and keen vision and smell. With this in mind, Kairen might be able to change color to match her surroundings and may have mildly enhanced senses of smell and vision.
Mero: Mero, like Shirahoshi, is a smelt-whiting mermaid. Smelt-whiting apparently rely less on vision and more on sensing vibrations emitted by their prey, so Mero -- and, by extension, Shirahoshi -- might be able to sense things around her by vibrations.
Seira: Seira is a bluestriped angelfish. Bluestriped angelfish are hardy fish that change sex as they get older. Seira might be physically tough and she might change into a merman as she ages.
