      Can you do one on Inuyasha?
      I'm basically on the final season of the series.
      For context, it's basically like demon slayer before demon slayer. With a love story.

    Kuwabara being a delinquent is most likely because of two things, because he hates people who look down on others which at the time was very common in the japanese school system. And if he's in charge of the delinqint gangs he could try reigning them in so they don't hurt innocent people. That's most likely why he's so obsessed with being the strongest when we first meet him. If no one can beat him than he can protect the things he cares about.

    Kuwabara making a scene at the funeral was amazing. He was introduced as a punk kid that was always looking for a fight, but he absolutely broke down into a sobbing mess once he thought his rival was dead. It really shows the breath of his compassion not just for Yusuke but for just people in general. It's my favorite scene in the show.

    Before watching the video, gonna make a prediction:
    Yusuke: Chaotic Good
    Kuwabara: Lawful Good.
    Kurama: Neutral Good
    Hiei: Chaotic Neutral
    I wonder if I'll be right by the end 🤔

    • @darinrode812
      @darinrode812 10 місяців тому +3

      Given how Hiei seems to have his own code, I'd say lawful neutral.

    • @CitanulsPumpkin
      @CitanulsPumpkin 10 місяців тому +4

      I'd slot Kurama in Chaotic Neutral and Hiei in Chaotic Evil.
      Kurama is an archfey lord who got cursed to be reborn as a half elf. He loves his mom and helps his mortal allies, but that doesn't make him "good."
      Hiei is a demon. He only goes out of his way to help his long-lost sister and his few mortal allies who go out of their way to help him. He routinely uses forbidden dark arts to slaughter his foes and destroy their souls. He's evil. He's pretty nice by the standards of evil characters in general, but he's still evil.

    Something to note, Lanipator, the guy who made the abridged version of the anime, is doing a commentary of said abridged series. He currently has a like/view goal in where if his most recent commentary gets enough views and likes, he'll go back to working on the series after years of not touching to at least cover the dark tournament.

    Oddly enough, I do wonder if it would be possible to get a redo of the first arc of the show to be more accurate to the manga. But that could be discussed more when Urameshi Yuusuke is the main topic. As for the formal gang leader... Kuwabara is an interesting take on a rival.

    On the topic of the Gentleman Delinquent trope. While Kuwabara is the bro I continue to meme voice on, no one tops Josuke Higashikata from JoJo's Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable. Seriously if there is a character I want covered here from JoJo's, it's him. He and that part's main baddie are one of the many reasons why Part 4 is my favorite of the series. Also for those that don't know by technicality our JoJo in that part is actually more of a side character.

    In all honesty, I do think that the best arc of Yu Yu Hakusho is actually the Chapter Black arc, so stopping at the Dark Tournament arc (which is a close second) is still missing out on crucial character development for Kuwabara.

    Great anime I loved as a kid also interesting trivia but it was originally planned to end after the dark tournament. so seasons 3 and 4 were kinda a hastily made addition still good but yeah,
    Kuwabara is definitely a great example of healthy masculinity, he's also the most "human" of the team more so after season 4 but he has a good heart and a few of his quotes still stick with me.

    I can see how this would be seen as the manliest shounen. Between Yusuke's character arc, overcoming Younger Toguro, and Kuwabara's everything it's a fine display of positive masculinity.

  • @brightidiot6020
    @brightidiot6020 10 місяців тому

    I have a lot to comment and it’s all good
    Number one favorite anime and favorite anime character I didn’t even watch the video and I gave it a like
    I do understand that the dark tournament is definitely the best ark in the show but I do think the next to it, give it good insight into all of the characters, but it is super long, so it’s understandable to not cover them
    I also think the villains are really good one offs to do because they’re all very complex and simple
    Next I came up with a theory just now that the reason he didn’t know genka was dead, was because Yuskay had her spirit orb
    Also, your super agree that his archetype should be used more
    And finally, I mostly agree with where he’s putting the alignment I would say he’s a lawful good, but he does a lot of chaotic good stuff, so I probably would’ve put them at neutral good just because he’s so flip-flopping between the two, but I do think most of his chaotic stuff is because he’s a teenager
    Ps i’ve been commenting these guys forever so it’s very nice to see them come out

    @broEye1 10 місяців тому

    Judging from his early behaviors, I'd say it's much more accurate to start him in lawful good territory, not chaotic good. At the start of the story he's described as being dedicated to his personal "code", which, as noted, includes refusing to commit crimes such as theft even to save a hostage. I'm not really sure whether some of the "chaotic good" items later on should really qualify as "chaotic", but at the very least he starts out leaning heavily into the lawful side.
    On the other hand, don't you dare set Yuusuke's initial point to anything but Chaotic Good. The guy is made of two things at the start: "Screw the rules" and "do what's right".

  • @CitanulsPumpkin
    @CitanulsPumpkin 10 місяців тому

    Kuwabara could easily be slotted into neutral good or lawful good. If we're defining lawful as just "has a code" then he's the most lawful character on the show.
    Yusuke is chaotic good. He's more of an example of chaotic good than most of the characters that people slot into chaotic good on alignment memes.
    Kurama is chaotic neutral. Doesn't matter what point system you use to redefine the flawed alignment system. He's an archfey lord that is presently cursed into a mortal body and the vast majority of the good deeds he does can be tied to Fey laws of hospitality, etiquette, and favor I.O.U.s. He loves his mortal mother, he considers Yusuke someone he owes a debt to for helping to save her, he can be kind to Yusuke, Kuwabara, and the women in their lives, but none of that changes the fact that he's still an immortal trickster assassin.
    Hiei is chaotic evil. He's a demon assassin. He genuinely cares about his long lost sister and her happiness, but that's it for his capacity to be emotionally invested in others. He respects Yusuke for defeating him in a duel, and he can play nice with the small number of mortals Yusuke cares about while Yusuke his helping him achieve his goals, but he's still evil. Hiei routinely uses forbidden dark arts to slaughter his foes and destroy their souls. He doesn't volunteer to save the world out of the goodness of his heart. He fights alongside the good guys because he wants the world to keep existing fir his or his sister's benefit. Or because he just likes murdering the mote powerful demons who inevitably get in Yusuke's way.

  • @SageofStars
    @SageofStars 10 місяців тому

    Oh...I am literally in the middle of a rewatch of this series. It's a good one, with what still, all these decades later, THE best Tournament Arc of any shonen, hands down. Also one of the worst, but by then the series was wrapping up and the focus was on a certain event, not the tournament itself, so its forgivable.
    Anyway, the Dark Tournament is still the high watermark for such things. The team fights means that the 'protagonists' are never up against each other, so there no sudden betrayals amongst the good guys, or holding back to not hurt their friends or teammates, just out and out brawls.
    Better, they have to go all out from the start, and while there is a definitive power curve amongst the other teams, there's not this question of how the weaker ones got in, as none of them are actually punching bags for the heroes. Instead each one shows of skills and abilities that are deadly and show off that they could win against others.
    Heck, the moral dilemmas that Tournament arcs love to toss in, sometimes without rhyme or reason, are still there, still pushing them, but without the contrivances some other stories get into to make them happen. Even the typical 'the other team has a better reason to win' isn't present since this is a 'we lose, we die' thing for the good guys, so they will always have that better reason.
    Oh, and since it's a team battle, some teams actually have good or at least honorable people in them, meaning there's a whole morality dynamic that is missing from others. Heck, the ones who survive their fights to come back later are both because they're not bad people, but also because they're not stupid enough to keep fighting once they've been beaten, which, for demons, is a rare combination.

    My opinion is that dragon shiryu is even more masculine. Most of the saints are. Their ability to choose to sacrifice yourself for others without a moments doubt, true men. Though kuwabara is kind of like it, I just find him to emotional. Men should be stoic. But of course he's a kid. So it's normal.
