Top Ten One-Off Villains in Yu Yu Hakusho
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 кві 2022
- With all the iconic heroes and villains in Yu Yu Haksuho, we tend to forgot how many villains we saw on the way to the top. However, looking back, many of the memorable villains didn’t last too long against Team Urameshi. So, for this video, I wanted to talk about the best one-off villains Yu Yu Hakusho had to offer. Basically, these villains only lasted one fight over the course of an episode/chapter (or half of 2 different episodes/chapters), and never showed up again after that. Let’s see the best of the bottom! Surprise cameo by Judgment Meter.

I like how Kurama did the most of these fights. Always love my boy Kurama! Also, hey, I snuck into this one!
As a straight man even I'll admit that Kurama is a pretty good looking dude. I can't blame you for fangirling over him!
The most surprisest of cameos!
Happy birthday btw!
KURAMA IS BEA❤️❤️
Ironically since depending on the situation he's tied with Kuwabara as the weakest of the four main leads.
If I remember right, Hiei was forced to use the Darkness Flame against Zeru because he couldn't keep up without it at the time. I believe Kurama brings that up at a later episode because of how damaged Hiei got. So while Zeru didn't last long, his talk was up to par at the time.
Was just about to make this comment and then saw yours
My bad! I remember it, but I was so distracted by one of Hiei's fast battles that I undermined his opponent more than I should have, so I neglected to think of that.
Zeru was stronger then hiei at the time. Hiei had to use the unpredictable technique to win and then spends the next two fights out because he screaming in pain.
Hell yea he even says it Zeru disrespected his eye and he’s have to sacrifice his arm
LOL was literally about to type this, thank you!
These one-off villains of Yu Yu Hakusho are interesting due to their unique skills
and they are often memorable and cool, they rarely look boring even if they are just there for one episode
Ura Urishima is always memorable because he gave us our first glimpse at Yoko Kurama and he looks like a store brand Yusuke
If you combine Ura and Yusuke you get Gon from HxH
The One-Off Villains in "Yu Yu Hakusho" are either sometimes there to Put-Over the Good Guys to show their Talent or they are just Basic Canon Fodder to give the Good Guys some more Push into the Spotlight.
yep. and it works. 👍
In the manga, Botan pretended to be a group of partiers. Goki expresses annoyance but says he's not in the mood so leaves anyway. He just didn't want to deal with a group of people, or what he thought was a group.
There were plenty of rather impressive and unique characters in the series who showed up only once.
The thing with Gouki is that I believe he was supposed to represent an Oni from Japanese mythology, where Oni had super strength and incredibly tough skin, and they were capable of biting through solid steel. It would fit with the powers Gouki displayed (super strength & and a nearly invulnerable body). Gouki in particular would have likely filled the role of "Red Oni", as he was violent and aggressive by nature, while their counterpart, the "Blue Oni" tend to be calmer and more methodical & intelligent about how they act (so, in a sense, Kurama and/or Hiei could have counted as the "Blue Oni" to Gouki's status as the "Red Oni").
Man the card game was amazing. I used to love playing it also.
Sakamoto having the same VA as Dio is automatic 10/10
also, these villains are more creative than the trash ones from boruto
Dio is fcking EVERYWHERE!
Considering Kishi practically copy pasted Doctor into Kabuto are you really surprised? Not to mention all the other chapters Kishi stole from Yu Yu Hakusho.
@@JudgmentMeter the world is just a one big jojo reference
@@onime122 and hunter x hunter
@@onime122 Yeah especially with Hiei and Sasuke that shit’s insane
This one's for all the Yu Yu fans out there!
Kibano is villainous due to his sadistic nature. His explanation of why Kuwabara won the race through Genkai's forest, "We let ourselves have to much fun in there." implies that he was enjoying the earlier scene where he's karate chopping wolves that are simply hunting/protecting their territory. Also, thanks for another great video! 😎👍
Thank you! Always cool to see a minor character character get a proper analysis and recognition
Long Time no see Mr.Top ten how u been? Just watch your videos and like always just perfect! Remember when u did the jacket video well how about top ten shoes in fighting games! And like always u know u want too😁
Good to see you again! We'll return to our clothing-themed fighting game list one of these days. Still, more fighting game content on the way!
Incredible coincidence. I just felt like rewatching this show.
OMG! Me, too. YYH is on Hulu for those who are interested
For the sole reason of Kuwabara’s reaction alone, the trans demon was a one and done villain who was quite interesting
Top 10 Darkest Digimon Antagonists We all know Kurada is number 1

Channels like yours really help newcomers to anime like me appreciate and get interested in more retro anime shows. Thanks. Will be checking this out on CR this week. Plus, I like your commentary and humor. Subbed!
can you and JM make more Ranma and Inuyasga videos ok please?
I'm suprised this show is still being reviewed. This show was an influence on my childhood and an influence on Naruto of all shows.
Quality products stand the test of time.
It's a damn good show
I love that you still talk about yu yu hakusho awsome vid
Sweet stuff. And I am your 1000th like.
Gama didn't need all his blood to seal his opponents aura. It's just that he bled out from his wounds.
I would think Kuwamarutaro would have made the list more than fisher demon.
He had those spade spheres that morphs his body into armor forms after his body gets damage to adapt to an enemy.
14:48 he's such a chill guy you sometimes forget that Kurama can be ruthless if taken there
I'd say Genbu knew bout being able to fling his parts around, just that he can't do it unless he's been recently smashed apart. Over time the wounds seal back up.
Genbu can take his body apart. He just didn't know that the part that controls it was also flying around
MORE YU YU HAKUSHO LISTS PLEASE!!
Just got this in my recommended. I haven't watched the video yet but i love finding new Yu Yu Hakusho content.
We support YYH on this channel. And we support YOU
this and the other vid you did honestly makes me want to watch YYH again on Hulu
sayaka looks similar to Rika/Bernkastel. It even becomes more apparent that she's similar when you mentioned that she's a totally different character by displaying more of a dark side in the manga. Not only does she look similar and act similar she sound similar. I wonder if the crater of the win they cry series what kind of Low key inspired by this character?
Siru’s ending is so cartoonishly funny. What the Hell
You should do "Top 10 Magician" next
I saw some of the YuYu Hakusho manga and a little of the Anime but my friend loves this series. He has the manga and he watched the Anime. Cool video. ^_^
I have a few copies of the YYH manga in Japanese. They're random ones, and I don't read Japanese, but Kurama is on the cover of those books and he's easy on the eyes 😍
@@JudgmentMeter Kurama's design always reminds me of Vincent from Final Fantasy 7 I don't know why but It does. Kurama has a cool design just like Vincent. ^_^
Kurama. The best character.
Rando could've been a great recurring villain.
You could argue that he was potentially far stronger than a lot of the Dark Tournament opponents. Same with Suzaku.
Some of my favorites:
Bakken- Entertaining VA
Miyuki- Cool design
Rugby- Interesting powers
Good video man I did not know about Sayaka being a villian since I have only watched the anime and not the manga for Yu Yu Hakusho.
Though I rewatched this anime around a year ago, I cannot remember how or why Elder Toguro was ever considered Toguro's 'brother.'
Because he was his brother...
@@nickclark18
Well duh? What I was referring to was flashback scenes of Toguro and Genkai winning the Dark Tournament. It'd only show them two standing and stating their desired prizes. I watched another video on this channel that revealed that it wasn't just them two on that team. (That usually consisted of 5 fighters.) That's when I'd learned and remembered that Elder Toguro was once a human as well.
Ultimate sneakiness.. put a lit cigarette in their belt, without being noticed at any point.
Yusuke put his bad habits to good use.
He almost always seems to have time for a Cupid: Super Heavy, brand cigarette..
Hey you did a really good job
Thank you!
4:58. To be fair, Musashi mentioned that he hunted down demons; so that’s probably why he’s listed as good. He also gave Kuwabara a chance to walk away before their fight began.
Yu Yu Hakusho My favorite all time Anime I love this show it's the best
i love this channel
This brings back memories
The rock isn't actually red... it glows red to show that Kurama has sensed it and identified it as the controlling source of power and life.
Fun list!
Pretty good list. Though it should be pointed out that Zero's fire is actually supposed to be incredibly powerful. The reason it doesn't seem that way is because of the speed in which Hiei took him out but even that was suppose to be see as a big deal. Since yeah the reason that Hiei never busted out the dragon of the darkness flame until then was because of the cost of that level of power at his current rank. He did it not having another option and it would of cost him use of his arm if he wasn't able to have it healed during the team Masho fight and only learned to full control it in the training right before Team Toguro. Then again that did feel a bit like one of those weird anime things where "character is made to look really cool and powerful but then we swerve it next time to take away from that moment to try and make that enemy who was seemingly defeated feel more meaningful then they actually were" sort of bits. However I do feel like there are a fair amount of YYH one off "villains" on this list worth talking about here that I will do so.
Chinpo - For he is the ultimate wanderer... heh okay guess I can quote Yu Yu Hakusho abridged too but there are some more serious ones you overlooked. For instance
Miyuki - This is a character only given like... a 5 minute fight that did make an impression though not really the best one in hindsight. See Miyuki was part of the Demon Triad under Togouro and the only member of that group with any speaking lines where unlike the other two members who were respectively fast or really strong, Miyuki actually did have a drag out fight with Yusuke actually showing off some fighting moods and even her hair strangling powers. But it's really the "joke" or at least twist with her that seemed novel at the time but may of aged poorly. See Miyuki was a transgendered demon who though appeared and acted like a woman was born a man and still had a penis. And Yusuke's whole point to her before knocking her out was to "not try and live in two lives" and "get the surgery" which... again was probably trying to seem progressive at the time but now comes off as a rather crude joke in hindsight. Especially since Yusuke only found that out feeling her breasts and package which yeah Yusuke's a creep like that but usually only went that far with Keiko who you know at least deep down did like like him. But yeah just finding out someone's gender isn't what they say and saying "oh committ" does feel pretty messed up to hear today. I mean the dub just trying to claim she "was faking her injuries" is also bunk but this is still a highly sensetivie topic I don't think should really be the joke of a children's manga if you can't get it right. Granted was writen in the late 80's early 90's but still messed up and what sticks out about this characters so much.
Risho - I guess it's harder to signal out the leader of the team as a one off villain but hey we do never really see him again plus though as cool as kurama and Gama's battle is I like his more. I dig the idea this guy was in his hood throughout the entire match and was actually much more rationale and logical pointing out to Bokken "hey don't keep taunting Yusuke by beating up an injured knocked out Kurama that won't go anywhere". And then using a techniclaity to get out of even fighting him. But that leading to his fight with Kuawabara who yeah kind of gets shafted in the Dark Tournament arc having only two wins. The manga's especially bull at this as it treats this win as more of a joke but the anime is better actually showing off more of Rishid's power and Kuwabara fighting against him. Granted Risho isn't the most interesting combantant being an elemental earth user with a ground rock shield for offense/defense but it still looked impressive and again I am glad they had him as the leader and probably at least second strongest (since Jin was supposed to be the ace) so Kuawabara's victory here does feel more earned especially again in the anime. I guess he wasn't on the list because he was technically on the top 10 "final bosses" list but it's hard to see him as a final boss honestly and even so if there was one character I could see on both lists it would be him.
Sniper - I get the point that yeah most of the seven psychics aren't so much one shot villains especially since we see them throughout the arc but I do feel the ones that don't have as much connection to the story and really are only important in their fight should count for this list and besides Gourmet the one who really fits that bill is Sniper. The power of just being able to home in on things is really cool and I like the more serious silent approach this guy have which especially for a manga villain at the time was so rare; he didn't blather on about how his abilities work. You just saw them in motion and watched the fight go down, until Hiei came in for surpirse take down. IMHO the series really did feel sort of lame in how it wouldn't let the demons kill off any of the human characters unless they were a villain or it was a technicality so Hiei despite stabbing the guy didn't off him but it was still a cool moment regardless.
Well hope you liked that little list man yours was still good.
How 'bout "Top Ten "Final Boss" Villains in Yu-Gi-Oh!" and "Top Ten One-Off Villains in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters"?
Can you do top 10 weird Mamodo abilities (Zatch Bell)?
I love Zatch Bell! I've got to rewatch a lot of it, but I'm sure I could think of something good
@@MrTopTenList Thanks for answering. I know it's a difficult one, but me and my brother are fans of the show and I enjoy the regular content on the channel. That and we decided to do a Yu-Gi-Oh stream and he started singing Folgore
I love this channel
Thank you!
Gama, Kibana, Kazemaru, Gouki, Zeru, and Genbu were the best on this list!
yuyu hakusho is a 10/10 anime. the fights were the best, the ost is one of the best in anime imo, and the english dub just tops it off along with the characters. ill never forget this anime, sometimes i wish i could forget it so i can discover it and rewatch it 😂
good list
"this guy brought a knife to a spirit fight!" Is somehow way funnier than it should be..
Thank you!
Even if they were minor characters, this is Togashi as it's finest.
-Sieru was a bait and at the end became brief spoiler of thing to come for Hiei.
-Uraurashima was thematically correct to exploit something already established, Yoko Kurama, that became later a cool power up for the later episodes.
-Gouki was weak enough to serve as the introduction for this arc, after this the show started to become more a battle centered.
-Gourmet/Toguro, we already established that the Toguro brothers were weak compared to this new thread but seeing one of them being beaten by the heroes so easily makes you think that they at least have a chance against Sensui (Spoilers, they didn't an Togashi did something that he pretty much makes fun of it in the later arc).
-Sayaka was minor character but they gave you another perspective of how ghost works in the Spiritual arc that makes me nostalgic because it was a very fun adventure.
What did Togashi do in the later arc? I don't remember much about that arc
@@ShoXwavee if you watched the whole anime or read the manga then you'll remember Yusuke died at the Sensui arc then resurrect because of the Mazoku blood line, anyway, Third Season there's a scene when Yusuke visits the first spirit (Kuroko) detective who lives with her Husband and daughter, after the conversation 2 demons appear and tell Yusuke about Raizen, while they were there Kuroko and her husband hear the whole story and she asks him "Won't that work for one of your books?" and the guy basically says "Nah, it's kind of silly" if that wasn't a self insert of Togashi then I don't know what it was, but at least the final part of the manga was a nice way to say good-bye.
My favorite Main villain is Younger Toguro the most
nice, now i want a top ten one-off jojo villains
Thank you! I'd love to do more JoJos lists at some point. I have 2 videos on JoJos to check out in the meantime on Moms and Dads from the series.
I love the Aussie drunk dude.
Most of the dark tournament arc one of villains appear in the YYH ps2 video game, which is pretty cool to see more of them and their attacks
Oh! I have a YYH game for the gba. I don't think I've tried to play it, though. Stay turned for updates
@@JudgmentMeter are u guys gonna do more weird ---- yugioh videos? Do weirdest yugioh types that were slapped on monsters that don't make sense
Now I have to rewatch the last season again
DUUUUUDE I absolutely loved the card game ❤️❤️. I never hear anybody talk about it
I played it so much in middle school. I felt like it was everywhere, but no one played it besides my friends at the time.
@@MrTopTenList my local card shop held tournaments for it every Friday night and I have nothing but great memories from them. Team urameshi forever. Especially with that broken ass secret rare kurama fox demon card.
5:03 if you oppose the hero in any way YOU ARE EVIL
I think the knife guy would have been a problem for Yusuke and Kuwabara since at that point they weren't used to fighting like that. In fact, I'd argue Rando was more willing to play their school yard fight game.
Huh, would’ve also put Topaz on the list, but pretty solid dude.
Rugby was also interesting.
Doctor was badass!
Top X videos should really have time stamps.
Bui shouldve been on this list he's the most powerful of the one off villains and he didn't die..
What about that trans demon that Yusuke groped in the Tarukane mansion? That was equality at it's finest!
That was disgusting.
Top 10 characters return to Street Fighter 6
I finally got a change to watch this and it was great. I was expecting Seiryu on there because he was the #2 of the Four Saint Beasts and got one shot so badly he got memed out of existence by Hiei.
Seiryu is in a weird position since he's poised to essentially be the sub-boss, but he's outdone by Byakko in that sense, and he's outdone by Genbu on being a cool, easy victory. I can only remember Seiryu talking about his powers, but never actually landing any hits.
@@MrTopTenList Yeah he just kind of killed off Byakko and then got one-shot by Hiei. Not even a full fight scene.
@@MrTopTenList did you ever think that sayaka looks and sounds kind of like Rika/Bernkastel? From the when they cry franchise. That's what I kind of thought. Even before you mentioned in this video about her difference and character what's just made me think they're definitely similar. I wonder if it's a possibility that the crater of the when they cry franchise inspired by this character?
@@MrTopTenList even though the two are different because one is a action Series where they fight demons and the other is a horror series. Makes me wonder if the creator of the when they cry franchise was inspired by sayaka
Dude, I haven't seen your channel in a long time! How are you?
Glad to have you back! We've been going strong. Catch up on the backlog and we'll see ya in the next video!
Zeru was merely a fire user. Hiei is a bonafide fire apparition. Fighting fire with fire only works when your fire is significantly stronger than the one you're up against. Otherwise you're just an idiot for using that tactic. I always thought Hiei busted out the dragon of the darkness flame becuase he felt insulted that Zeru was trying to beat him with fire of all things. As a later opponent mentioned, Zeru wasn't really worth using that technique on and he should have saved it but Hiei's pride wasn't having that.
WHAT ABOUT TOP TEN MIND CONTROLED CHARCHTERS IN FIGHTING GAMES
Did yusuke kill Kibano or just knock him out
Just knocked him out. They didn't imply the hit was lethal and Yusuke says in the Chapter Black arc that he's never had to kill a human before
Actually Gama's Make Up of the Seal doesn't require him to use his blood directly. He stated himself he should've done that from the start rather than the weight curse. Gama only did that because he didn't have the strength left to mark Kurama thus used his blood as a short hand since it could easily splatter on Kurama without hitting him and Kurama would be none the wiser.
You may be thinking of Suzuki the clown from Team Uraotogi since he was another makeup-wearing fighter who was seen without his makeup later on
@@MrTopTenList Nope I've watched the episodes multiple times and Suzuki has no makeup abilities to speak of.
I meant to reply to a comment below yours about someone misremembering Gama giving Kuwabara the weapon he used against Elder Toguro. I replied to the wrong Gama comment. Disregard my reply.
@@MrTopTenList No biggie.
you should do a top ten special attacks in anime (i am a new subscriber so i dont know if you already have) my number one is The Dragon of The Darkness Flame from Yu Yu Hakosho
Cool idea!
@@MrTopTenList Thanks maybe with Judgement meter? She is very funny
elder toguro with gourmets powers is so op
Such a good anime
It's still sad that Yusuke dragged Murota (mind reader) into everything and then he gets eaten by Gourmet.
AS Long as your priaising thr original version AND NOT the Funimation dub

Gouki is the Raditz of Yu Yu Hakusho dnt @ me
Funny how he got beat by Yusuke who’s voiced by Justin Cook who is also voices Raditz, must be a coincidence?😂
Just to be fair with Zeru almost all Hiei's fight only last an episode before he fights Bui.. Blue Dragon / Sieryu seems a btter pick than Genbu..
you you hockey show is the best cartoon of all time
Did... did sayaka get cut from the english dub? I dont remember her at all.
She was only in 1 episode, sub and dub, so she's forgettable. She was in episode 4 when Yusuke had to use the egg to save Keiko.
@@MrTopTenList absolutely no recollection
the fact almost everyone in this list Kurama fought
And Bui deserves more love
Correction: Gama DID NOT die...somehow. He has 1 more appearance afterwards. He gives Kuwabara a new sword focus, and Kurama a potion that might help him tap back into Yoko Kurama. His second appearance has him without makeup on, though.
That was Suzuki, look it up.
You may be thinking of Suzuki the clown from Team Uraotogi since he was another makeup-wearing fighter who was seen without his makeup later on
My bad. Sorry
Honestly its a pretty good list the only one I would have put in the list for another is the guy that turned his arm into an axe. Yeah not great but he had a memorable death. I would have put it above the #10 spot
00:14 - 00:20 Me: Who the fuck even is that? It is ironic that he is the one being shown during what is beig said for me personally.
Ura Urashima. His actions were definitely ore memorable than his appearance, so I can't blame you for forgetting
I'm pretty sure Gouki is supposed to be an oni. Oni don't exactly have a good history with humans.
the way you pronounce the japanese names are are the most american ive ever heard IE KI-bA-NO when its not
Shout out to the yyh abridged reference
Respect the fact that you've still uploading videos even if you are not really that popular.
Justice for Baldok!! He got robbed.
Yeah more Yu Yu
And you didn’t include Karasu?
I feel Karasu did more than enough to be above the "one-off villain" status since he had multiple leadup episodes and a multi-episode fight. We'll likely do a list on the "almost final boss villains" in the future since there's a lot we haven't covered, including Karasu.
You know something's worth watching if there's a tennis episode.
Coincidentally, we did a video on Top Ten Tennis-themed anime episodes in 2016!
I am actually really disappointed with this video. Not very good or entertaining which kills me because it's nice that this channel is showing YU YU Hakusho love. But again I am disappointed on this content but good job on making this video and editing it
Zeru has really and badass design but got washed out quickly like king cold
Gama by far is the most wasted potential. Only villain kurama complimented
*looks at thumbnail* The investigator was a villain!? how? why? what!?
Glad the thumbnail is intriguing! Yeah, I was surprised to see her completely different as an antagonist in the manga when I read it years after watching the anime.
