Top Ten Secondary Villains in Yu Yu Hakusho

  • We love Yu Yu Hakusho, so after talking about the highest and lowest level villains in the series, we went for the middle, leaning toward the highest, and wanted to cover the secondary antagonists of the series. These are characters that seemed like the next most powerful villain in their arc or on their team. Some of them aren’t even evil, but acted as the roadblock against the heroes for their part of the art. Either way, we’re talking about opponents against Team Urameshi that put up a good fight or had an interesting plan to stop them from getting to the “final boss.” NegetiveX joins me for this video, too!

    The duel of wits between Kurama and Kaito is a work of genius on several levels. Besides the obvious, those that did the english dub deserve credit for working the english dialogue to fit the duel perfectly. That was not an easy feat.
    I am surprised you glossed over Yomi, considering his achievements in the series.

    • @MrTopTenList

      Yomi was on our "Final Bosses of Yu Yu Hakusho" list, so we gave him full spotlight on that. I didn't want to repeat too many of our points from the other video, so I just gave the summary of his influence in that final arc.

      I love any time they interacted in the Three Kings arc. It felt like they were retconning how well they knew each other since they barely interacted during the Dark Tournament. It makes me want to see a backstory about how he discovered Shishi since it means he actually cared about him and wasn't just using him as a tool like the rest of the team.

    The best things about else taguros defeat is that he acquired the mind read ability after he took over gourmet, so kurama devised his attack in a single instant so he couldn't be predicted. Plus, he's stuck in a maze like labrynth that took several hours to traverse, so the chances of him ever being found are pretty much zero

    You've done a pretty good job hyping up Karasu, I totally forgot about him up until this video.

    • @MrTopTenList
      @MrTopTenList  Рік тому +1

      The top 3 was close overall, so all 3 of them line up with my reasoning. Rewatching the Karasu fight bumped him up, but I putting more weight on Elder Toguro's influence is also good enough to justify him for number 1. I think I skimmed over that part for the video since Gourmet was on my One-Off Yu Yu Hakusho villain, so I went over most of my thoughts on that. Still, it doesn't diminish how creepy he was!

    @stefanhope7043 Рік тому +1

    One of my favorite series, but much more so in manga than in its animated version. The quality of Dybex's stf and, conversely, the "scum" tone of Kana's first translation may have had something to do with it, but my main criticism of the anime is that it has watered down the substance of the manga, especially the character of Kurama : Strangely enough, not in his hardest passage (the fight against Gamer) but especially in the final arc, where he seems to renounce combat and his monstrous nature, whereas the manga shows him on the contrary accepting his monster nature and his status as a fighter, who can be ruthless - like Yusuke and Hiei but unlike a Kuwabara who renounces combat. The part about Emma sr and her relationship with her son is also completely skipped, although it was certainly a retcon, but particularly striking.
    On comparisons with DBZ: I think you're being a bit harsh, but I agree with you overall; I would note, however, that some of the flaws start as early as the Dragon Ball part, with much more serious stakes and a sharp drop in humor from the appearance of Piccolo the father onwards. Where Yu Yu Hakusho proves to be far superior to Dragon ball, in my opinion, is in the organization of the tournament: where in DB we have a succession of 1 vs 1, Yu Yu's tournament sees team matches, several-on-one battles, shenanigans by the organizers... It's very varied, much more so than in Dragon Ball - as is the nature of the fighters' powers (plants, fire, ice, potions, muscles...).
    On the post-tournament: I'm one of those who like it (as a whole, right up to the controversial post-tournament conclusion), whereas I didn't like it on first reading. Togashi tries a lot of things, not always successfully of course; but he manages to create striking moments, even for very secondary characters, and to give them an unexpected but satisfying conclusion - I'm thinking, for example, of the various romances of the former tournament participants in the last volume. It's also one of Togashi's talents (which we'll see again in Hunter x Hunter) to give free rein to the imagination with small things, to create leads that don't necessarily all come to fruition or end up in the end, but which bring his characters and his universe to life (beyond what is explicitly told).

    Nice for me
    1. Elder Toguro during The Dark Tournament more so than the Chapter Black Arc whom truly was the most malevolent being in all of Team Toguro having no honor and deviantly sadistic over all the others even in the Yukina rescue arc he serves prominently good secondary Antagonist. Chapter Black is strange because he is puppeteering Gourmet’s body. But overall has had the most longevity from the end of Spirit Detective Arc, all of Dark Tournament and coming back towards the end of Chapter Black why he is number one.
    2. Mukuro during the Makai Tournament since she is a big fight with Hiei though not as much in stake all before main event that is Yusuke vs Yomi the Main Antagonist.
    3. Itsuki particularly great right hand man but really almost all the 7 Psychics particularly Gamemaster, The Doctor, and Sniper can share this spot also personal bias because Chapter Black is the my favorite and the best Arc in YYH.
    4. M1, M2, M3 the 3 brainwashed human characters from Team Dr. Ichigaki really gave Yusuke and Kuwabara a hard time more over Dr. Ichigaki himself.
    5. Jin really cool character and it seemed he was actually stronger than Risho simply cause Jin pushed Yusuke to use the Spirit Wave Technique for the first time in combat, meanwhile Risho gets humiliated by a already injured Kuwabara that did heal from Yukina but still got beat embarrassingly.
    6. Byakko whom is more memorable than Seiryu and Genbu because how resilient he was, really he helped show us more depth to Kuwabara’s character though flawed with stubbornness initially the undying determination and will of his honorable manhood we would see reoccur throughout the series and Byakko accomplished this whilst Seiryu and Genbu got annihilated by Hiei or Kurama like complete jokes.
    7. Shishiwakamaru- same thing with Jin seemed to give the impression with his presence, feats and showings that he was the leader of the Team Uraotogi and put out a far more impressive display than Suzuka whom got destroyed and humiliated by Genkai.
    8. Zeru- really gave first time watchers or readers that he was the Team Leader of Rokuyukai, really kool character that gave quite a heated impression no pun intended though it is a shame that he served to put over how devastating The Dragon Of The Darkness Flame was and hence was demolished in an instance but he certainly was memorable for his edgy demeanor and initial intimidation.
    9. Kazemaru the Ninja from The Genkai Tournament whom really made us question he was Rando upon first viewing I would also like to add Kibano earlier in the Tournament leaving somewhat as much of a reoccurring big talker in The Genkai Tournament Arc with Kazemaru though Kazemaru takes this one simply cause with his overconfident demeanor to make you initially think he was Rando as oppose to Shorin.
    10. Mr Akashi whom is right hand man to Mr Iwamoto he whom is a minor but reoccuring antagonist in Yusuke and Kuwabara’s school and Akashi never returns after the Test Kuwabara does through implying Akashi was second fiddle to Iwamoto, and yes I chose Mr Akashi over Gouki from the 3 artifacts whom is such a bland crappy dull character that I thought Akashi.

    • @MrTopTenList
      @MrTopTenList  Рік тому

      Love the analysis, especially with some of the early characters! If we cover any other villains, I think the slice of life teacher "villains" would be fun to cover. Kazemaru is essentially number 11 since we were debating putting someone from the Genkai tournament on, especially since Rando made out "Final Boss" list and the guy with the helmet made our One-Off villain list.

    Sorry but i have to go with elder toguro being the best secondary villain in the entire series.

And also he had the worst fate iv ever seen in anime making him the most memorable

    • @MrTopTenList

      I dig it. I was waffling between the top 3 and I think I was trying to go for a less predictable Number 1, but viewers have made great arguments for why Elder Toguro is almost, if not just as threatening, as his brother.

    Elder Toguro is so obviously #1 that he somewhat blurs the distinction of ‘secondary antagonist’. Sure, he’s not the main villain of any one arc, but his sustained presence throughout multiples arcs arguably elevates him above *several* arc villains.
