Turns into totally irredeemable trash in the Chapter Black arc. Not that it was ever good, though. The manga is especially bad.

Probably my favorite anime. But I grew up watching it so I'm biased.

Nah playa, the series doesnt jump the shark until the final Three Kings arc.

Even that arc showed promise before they rushed the shit out of it.

Three kings really left such a sour taste in my mouth. Really feel the series had so much more potential.

No, Yusuke randomly being retconned into a demon was the precise moment it jumped the shark. It and everything that followed was beyond stupid; by the time the final fight was completely skipped over in the anime, there was no reason to still care.

I love YYH, but the tournament arc was definitely the peak of it. It was kinda lame how Toguro was this scary and menacing villain. And then shortly after, it's "oh, he was just some B class character." Three kings arc sucked in my opinion as well.

Sensui had the potential to be even better than Toguro, but he just got really stupid with his random multiple personalities and Sacred Energy nonsense. Still, the Chapter Black arc could have redeemed itself at the end if Kuwabara was the one to kill Sensui with his Dimensional Sword and avenge Yusuke. Turning Yusuke into a demon wasn't even necessarily an issue, but randomly retconning to be part demon all this time was forced beyond belief. And the author was already burnt out by this point, so there was no reason to even continue the story for another arc after this; why pad the story out with all of these dumb retcons if you're burnt out and you're already at the end of the current arc? He should have just had Yusuke kill Sensui and end it at that. No Demon Yusuke BS whatsoever.

You're the one who doesn't know what it means. Yusuke was never intended to be a demon until this shit was pulled out of the author's ass at the last minute without literally any foreshadowing or build-up, and just because the author came up with a bullshit explanation for it to work in-universe doesn't stop it from being a retcon. He was just supposed to be a regular human like Kuwabara at first. You alter a character's backgrounds with shit that you never intended before, and you got yourself a retcon.

Tournament arc is overrated. It reeks of shonen bs and its literally just nonstop fighting.

Chapter Black is the best arc since conflicts are handled in a way more interesting way than fight.

You just explained why you're wrong. Good work. A retcon is something like Cory and Topanga being together since they were babies when we literally see them first couple up in 5th grade. It changes established lore. Yusuke having demon ancestry doesn't change a damn thing. It doesn't contradict anything. People get butthurt over the simplest of things when it comes to their precious animu.

Towards the end is when they start adding a lot of filler. Not saying there's a connection but...... It's an odd coincidence.

Yusuke randomly being part demon definitely changes established lore because he was fully human before, with no demon ancestry. Revealing him to have that shit for no reason other than to pad the story out and give him some asspull powers changes plenty.

@lilORANG You don't actually know what the term means; being explained in-universe doesn't disqualify something from being a retcon, and it's a popular misconception that it does. Retcons that are explained in-universe fall under alteration retcons. Your Corey in the Big House example falls under subtraction retcons; those aren't the only retcons. If you intended a character to be nothing but a dog in the beginning, but you reveal they're part cat later on, you retconned their background. By your logic, Togashi could have revealed that the whole story of Yuyu Hakusho was some crackhead's hallucination, and it somehow wouldn't be a retcon because it'd be explained in-universe.

Too bad that's shit logic lolol. Accept being wrong and move on.

I hated when he was introduced like that. Most of his *spoiler* sucks anyways it really ruins sensui as a whole.

Chapter Black had so much potential. The concept of the tape itself was interesting, and Sensui had great motives. Then when they got to the cave, everything somehow came off as both rushed and dragged out at the same time

CO-sign on all of this. I stop watching after Tusuke dies. That is how the show ends for me.

It bounces back in the final arc. The Demon World Tournament is the peak of the series.
