| Topic | God damn the new Taylor Swift album is bad |
| Scotty_Rogers 04/23/24 3:28:55 PM #49 | another thing is that it's become much easier for a popular artist's songs to chart high on the hot 100 since the streaming era started
if her songs get a lot of plays on spotify and youtube, then they'll chart. for songs to chart high before, people needed to buy them as singles or request them to be played on radio. now all they have to is stream them online, which changes the game i don't care about that bunch of taylor swift fans went on spotify to listen to her album as soon as it dropped, "she made history" LOL no --- Fammy fam |

Yeah prostitutes aren't shaking pimps down for money by themselves as if prostitutes don't ever argue with pimps. it's shonen anyway, women scare men because gag you're not too familiar with how prostitutes work are you? there's no other reason why some random unemployed single alcoholic mother linked to yakuza would be involved with pimps --- Fammy fam |

Those guys are implied to be Yakuza members And why would some random 29-year-old single alcoholic mother with no real job who had her kid at 15 have connections to Yakuza? hop918 posted... what prostitute yells at pimps to give them the money? What, you think every prostitute is docile and subservient? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/896b3637.jpg Why else would she be doing business with pimps given what we know about her (29-year-old single mother, got pregnant at 14, unemployed, alcoholic, constantly out with random guys, ties to Yakuza, etc)? In what other scenario would she be demanding money from pimps? How else would she be making ends meet?

The last time we see Yusuke's mom she's talking to an ex, implied to be his dad I think, and they agree to hookup. She wasn't a prostitute. We are see her with a client shortly before that . At Yusuke's ramen shop, she says that she's with a "client" and he looks like a sleazeball. Just because she banged her old baby daddy doesn't mean she wasn't still in the business. She gets her pimps to scare the school into letting Yusuke back in and pay for the damages from one incident --- Fammy fam |

Nah, fuck the sub. The dub is better. then why you complaining It's just silly that he's supposed to be 14. it wouldn't be as silly if you were watching the sub Yusuke's older sister was a chain smoker and she was all but 17 if I remember right. If was the style at the time, lol. kuwabara's sister you mean. yusuke didn't have any siblings, but his mother was an alcoholic (a prostitute too iirc she's still picking up clients at the end of the manga) --- Fammy fam |

Naruto and Deku actually look their age though.I don't get why y'all think there's a set age for a 14 year old to look lol. I remember when I was in 8th grade, there were plenty of kids who were 6 feet or even taller. The "teenager looking older than than they really are" trope is old and has basis in real life. It's not even significant with Yusuke. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6094ee22.jpg He's only 5'7'' lol this can definitely pass as 14. --- Fammy fam |

| Scotty_Rogers 04/22/24 2:27:00 AM #21 | Also, I don't get what your objection to white paper is since that's what it is. I know it's the literal translation. My point is that it doesn't actually make sense to say "white paper" in English, because it doesn't have the same connotation as it does in Japanese. It contextually means report, file, record, log, document, etc so it's better to just use that to get the message and nuance across. And even the article you posted says this Strictly speaking, they are collectively known as "white documents." It's like how the Chinese term Qi ( Ki in Japanese) literally means "air" but it's come to refer to the vital force or energy in our bodies. If you just went with the literal translation of air, most people wouldn't understand ssjevot posted... But I posted the Japanese Wikipedia excerpt explaining what it means and a brief summary in English... [13] Translation: At the time of the serialization meeting, the title "Introduction to Yurei (tentative)" was submitted. Later, when the serialization was decided, the title was officially considered. However, the title conflicted with "Chin Yuuki" by ManGataro, which began serialization at the same time, and he had to rethink the title. The first word that came to mind after "Yu-Yu" was "Hakusho," so the title was changed to "Yu-Yu Hakusho. It could have been "Yu Yu Den" or "Yu Yu Monogatari"[13]. Yurei (ghost) was originally going to be in the title, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Yu is short for ghosts. The connotation is there but without the rei, it simply means "dark", "gloomy", "underworld", "netherworld", "hidden", etc. It refers to things that associated with ghosts, but it doesn't specifically mean ghosts. For all we know, Togashi could have changed his mind and decided to make the title about the paranormal in general. --- Fammy fam |

The stars aren't blanks. They're just for style. Like in YuGiOh, . Touche. I guess stars are basically hyphens in Japanese? But if the stars don't mean anything, then there's no indication that the Yu's are short for anything, is there? Obviously there are ghost connotations but that doesn't mean the term ghost itself is supposed in the title. So is the title supposed to be something like Hidden Travel Files? Underworld Travel Files? Kek --- Fammy fam |
| Topic | All these years and I still don't know what Yu Yu Hakusho means |
| Scotty_Rogers 04/22/24 1:42:26 AM #15 | Hakusho pretty clearly means report, file, log, document, record, etc in this context. It's what they call government papers in Japan. And Yusuke is supposed to be a detective so that's pretty obviously what it means. "White paper" and "white book" make zero sense to say in English.
The first is probably rei, but it's unclear what the second is. I don't think it's gi, though. Maybe it's ryou; Yuuryou/ means means "recreational hunting" or simply "hunting". Yuurei = Ghost Yuuryou = Hunting Hakusho = Report(s), file(s), document(s), log(s), record(s), etc Still it's never been confirmed what the stars mean so this is ultimately guesswork. The first yuu means dark, hidden, gloomy, underworld, netherworld, etc. The second yuu normally means play in Japanese but since Saiyuki (Journey to the West) was the original inspiration, it's probably the Chinese meaning, which is traveling, wandering, visiting, moving, going somewhere, coming from somewhere, etc. This is also backed by the fact Yusuke becomes a wandering ghost at the start of the series and/or the fact he faces other wandering ghosts. The basic meaning is "report on things coming from the underworld" or "report on things going to the underworld" and there are really so many things that you could come up with to convey those meaning. I'd just go with Ghost Hunting Files, honestly. Or Ghost Hunter Files. Or just Ghost Hunter. Or Wandering Ghost Files. Or maybe Ghost/Spirit Detective (what Yusuke is called in the series)? Ghost Files and Ghost Fighter were totally fine titles, honestly. --- Fammy fam |

Yusuke talks like a sassy middle aged man half the time. I love it and his (and everyone's) personality is a major part of why I love the show so much, but I just don't but that he's supposed to be 14. That's just in the dub. He sounds more boyish in the Japanese version --- Fammy fam |

Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite anime of all time, but gotta be real, it's always irked me just a little that these guys are supposed to be 14. Ichigo is 15 at the start of Bleach Naruto is 15 at the start of Shippuden Deku is 15 at the start of My Hero Academia Giorno is 15 in Jojo Golden Wind Jodio is 15 in Jojolands It's really not hard to believe. Yusuke is pretty clearly written like a Japanese middle schooler at the start of the series. But yeah it'd be easier to take the series seriously if he were older than 14 and at least in high school instead of middle school at the start of the story lol --- Fammy fam |

When you translate a series to a specific language you're supposed to call it something that people would actually understand in said language. Yuyu Hakusho makes no sense in English, imagine if Dragon Ball was called Ryu Tama --- Fammy fam |
