Toguro embodies the power of symplicity. With Sensui, he is extremely complex, but Toguro has a large amount of depth that stands him apart from most villains in shonen
Toguro is not a simple antagonist, he's also a mentor for Urameshi. He force him further his limit to avenge genkai and be stronger than him to protect his friends and at least give a decent death in battle. The simplicity of Toguro jr is compense by the deep of his personality
ToGOATuro is easily my favorite villain in all of fiction. The way he kept me hyped, anxious and excited for the entire dark tournament arc will always be deeply ingrained in my soul 📿🙏🗿
I took toguros character as someone who was so stricken by grief and feeling powerless, that he threw away his life and love and now he just looks back on regret, that he can live forever in a meaningless strong life if he wanted to or a short life that meant something and being with the ones he loved. He feels he made the worst possible decisions he could have and wanted to steer yusuke to not do that and put him thru similar thing he was to see if anyone could do better. Realizing he has nothing to live for and nothing waiting for him in the afterlife, he feels less than nothing and doesnt even accept the lesser punishment he was offered and insists on being put in purgatory for 10,000 years of suffering and then just not existing after. The dude was just full of pain and regret and didnt want to be around anymore.
"A man with a wounded heart and broken dream." Great use of that line from the show to finish a great video dude. Toguro turned his life into a self made prison to atone for what in his mind were his failures. Finding that out as we go through the story makes his a cut above the rest. I feel like he felt it a perfect ending to be defeated by Yusake. Not only go out at 100% to satisfy warrior side of himself. Also to be defeated by someone with a connection to Genkai as some sort of "you were right". He was also helped Yusake down a better path to a beautiful life.
Certainly one of my favorite characters in all of anime/manga. Not only on a surface level, as he is a gigachad, terminator/dukenukem looking badass, but his characterization is so interesting and well written, plus his dynamic with Yusuke. And that final fight was simply nothing short of amazing
Him and Sensui are amazing villains. No joke, Toguro alone got me to write a story as a hobby so it could with a villain like Toguro in it. Watching these makes me want to try and flesh him out more.
I like too much the Togashi's quality to give a depth layer to his characters and stories. I like Yu Yu Hakusho and HunterxHunter for this very reason (they are both in my top anime). Great video! P.S. Toguro the best!
homie i am an avid, borderline obsessed, hxh fan but watched yyh only once in 2019... but even then, i knew that yyh had "something" that makes it special... not just the predecessor to hxh, but something that makes it unique i love how you made that distinction of villains and antagonists in 0:42, because i really feel the same way while hxh has my favorite villains of all time, i think yyh delivers in crafting fitting foils to yusuke... with tugoro representing what yusuke could become and sensui really being a former spirit detective while the hxh villains dont necessarily feel like they were written with that ethos in mind (i dont want to say one is better than the other tho) ANYWAYS, thanks for these amazing vids... i watched this, your hxh vid and your sensui one... i want to read yyh now and watch the rest of your vids, keep up the great work
This was great dude! Imma need that Sensui dissection after this pure heat. Greatest Shonen Villain is such a good way to describe what he is. Not every shonen antagonist is a villain, and not every villain necessarily embodies the antithesis of the Battle manga tropes but Toguro does all of those things.
absolutely a banger video. i would love to see you cover mangas like hxh & possibly lesser covered things like solo leveling, or maybe even no guns life which ill say was an ABSOLUTE BANGER anime and im heated it basically vanished from existence
@@The_Ciple aot became midddddd but i understand thats the direction your going. im homeless so these videos help me escape from the situation sometimes. i appreciate the vids bro
What turns me away from a lot of shonen anime is the endless stream of "And here's my newest power/form that was hitherto unmentioned!" that makes fights feel padded. I liked the Toguro brothers because both have simple moves (bigger muscles and shapeshifting) but that's all they need to feel threatening and unbeatable.
Toguro will always stand out as one of the most memorable and scarily brave characters in fiction. He willingly went to the worst torture dimension for 10k cycles of 10k years of torture because of his guilt. That is 1 billion years in hell for only 50 years of his sins. My head canon is that Koenma told Toguro that he would sentence him that much to appease his honor and wishes only surface level and instead sentenced him to like 1000 years. No matter what though his ending always makes me cry even after watching the show 4 times since 2009!
Amusingly he could just fought Sensui who was already more powerful than him if he just wanted to get crushed horribly. Or the two of them could just asked Konema to give them access to the demon world, and they both could gone there skipping their clashes with Yuseke and all the plots they created to get their situation to happen. With Shinobu Sensui already dying I'm sure they would made it a make a wish thing to let them go die in the demon world. Given how series end with human and demon world connected again, they both got their wish of access to the Demonworld if they were able to wait it out. It would been interesting to see if Toguro could grown stronger with stronger foes or how he would have responded to being a small fish in a very large pond.
You’re not wrong here but to a lot of People Yu Yu Hakusho aired on TV First before Dragonball. So to everyone the Dark Tournament stands out way more then the Tenkaichi Tournament in DB. Again I’m not knocking the DB tournament.
Toguro es por momentos tan simple y por momentos tan complejo, que personalmente, nunca había entendido al personaje completamente, este video analiza de forma perfecta todos esos matices y estoy de acuerdo Toguro, Sensui, Chrollo, Hisoka y Meruem se colocan en el podio de los mejores villanos del shonen.
Unpopular opinion (And loved the video btw this is by no means a bash) but personally Sensui>Y Toguro. I love what Y Toguro does for Yusuke's character and the Yu yu story line but I always felt like Sensui hit on philosophical challenges and internal conflict that brought the audience in so close that somehow Sensui and his psychics felt like people/viewpoints that the viewers could somehow relate to.
I agree, no hate on Toguro. The guy is one of the best well written villians of all time but I think Sensui is on a different level. YYH just knocked it out of the park with both of those guys. I actually felt myself relating and cheering on Sensui.
I feel Shinobo Sensei wanting to die under cuts his entire point of judging humanity. Toguro could lived with either outcome happening, him going to demon world fighting till he found death or losing to Yusuke on his terms. Sensui seems like he could just asked Konema to "make a wish" for him being near death and open a gate to the demon world, and skipped his whole plot as it doesn't even pan out the way he claims. He could just explored demon world with his buddy the gatekeeper till he expired. Demons coming into the human world is a big nothingburger as nothing of any consequence comes to earth while the heroes just charge right into demon world after Sensui. It was no real apocalyspe he sold it as, as nothing really happened. Humanity wasn't actually judged in the slightest. Nor did Sensui really seem to care that wasn't happening when he opened the portal which takes the piss out of his whole humanity neeeds to die bit. This makes him kinda lame in my opinion as his goal are all scattershot and he sticks to none of them. unlike Toguro he wasn't planning on Yusuke beating him. He just happens to die ina glorious battle but he would have died in a few weeks anyways. Death already had him either way. A dead man wishing death on rest of the world just makes them a coward. The finale of the show further neuters Sensui's plan as demons can freely move back and forth between the two worlds. What Sensui predicted would happen couldn't have been more wrong. So again what was his point? He didn't judge humanity as he claimed. He didn't give his followers the apocalyspe he promised. He was just someone with an illness and bunch of power who wanted to take a last vacation before dying.(Again there was ways of making this happen that didn't involve anyone else dying.) Him dying really is where I feel this makes his point hollow. I get he's nuts but his entire morale argument he convinces himself of so much he breaks his own mind to work it out falls flat by his own actions. I would preferred his character was a zealot of death than basically being a crazy person who failed even understand his own desires or purpose. This is just him basically resolving all these traits in battle till he makes peace with himself and dies instead of simply getting some therapy. I can absolutely see why Yusuke feels like he won even though he killed sensui, since he would never had that breakthru without Yusuke. Sensui just doesn't land for me in a way I feel compelling as it's just another villian wanting to die but too crazy to even realize themselves.
Hao from the original Shaman King anime is such an underrated villain. I hope Toguro gets some more relevancy now that Netflix show is out and it ended with his fight vs Yusuke. Though it is nothing compared to the anime, it was still okay.
Dude what are you saying?! When Toguro invites Yusuke to the tournament he KNEW Genkai was his master. He wanted Genkai there too.. He wanted to be defeated by Yusuke. At his (Toguro) 100%. He wanted to be defeated by Yusuke when Yusuke had Genkai's power as well. He wanted to lose, and he didnt want to kill Genkai or any of Yusuke's friends. Besides that good video
Where did you read that? From what i read it seemed like a happy coincidence that Genkai even participated in the tournament given she was exempt. I got no indication that Toguro knew about Genkai, or that Togashi had even created that plot line yet. You gotta show me the chapter and page.
@@The_Ciple i never read the manga. But its in the anime. 1) she was invited by the committee on behalf of Toguro. 2). Im pretty sure Toguro even said that it wasn't by coincidence that Genkai was there. 3) Sakyo even said Toguro had this all planned out. He said he thought he (Sakyo) was in control but the whole time Tugro knew what was finna happen. 4) Kurama and I think even Koenma backed this up. For episodes this all happened from when Genkai died to Tugro to the end of the DT. Theres no way it was just coincidence, the way I look at it is he wanted to be defeated by Genkai's student. To prove he was wrong.
@@BigPapiMatt To be more specific, Genkai was requested to join the Dark Tournament, but wasn't required to, due to her previous victory prize of not wanting to be summoned again. The people that came to invite her just sort of used Yusuke as additional incentive, mentioning his participation was mandatory, but Genkai's was just optional. So she probably joined, cause she knew Yusuke was going to get killed otherwise, without further training. Consider it almost blackmail, but in an underhanded way.
@@BigPapiMatt Actually, Toguro himself told Genkai that his association with Yusuke was separate. It's just that Genkai just happened to get involved, though it was a nice bonus to his plan. So it does seem like it was all a coincidence.
I have watched the live action Yu Yu Hakusho and they really portrayed Toguro at his best. There were many concerns because the dark tournament was not represented good but if you will ask anyone what is the highlight of the Dark tournament? It will be the boss fight.
Toguro as one of the best written Shonen villains. Hao Asakura imo is probably above simply because he literally went and actually achieved his goal as the antagonist: Becoming Shaman King, and he was pretty much unbeatable the entire series.
I came to terms with the body proportions but I couldn’t get over with this grown ass man looking like he can pick up a car fighting with a high school kid that barely looks like he can pick up 100lbs. This show is so great but sometimes I’m reluctant showing this to people new to anime lol.
Orochimaru was pretty fricking bad brought people back from the dead killed people to make them into dolls fed them to his snake and took over bodies to be immortal this guy was a demon for like a minute
Aizen mogs shoenen antoganists Sensui from yu yu is also great antoganist But still aizen victim Aizen is the only Shonen antoganist who is close to perfection If aizen will get a rich backstory and conclusion in future of BLEACH then he would be perfection
If were talking villain id have to go with frieza. He has genocide, slavery, manipulation, cruelty, op as hell. Id have to give it to him hes a tyrant and he does it all with a smile.
the new yuyu hakusho live action on netflix does a great job with simplifying the story. Toguro still has his motivation for teaching and pushing yusuke to unlock his power. it's a great twist to a villain.
I think the whole "villain with a motivation" is one of the most misused tropes, which has inspired amateurish storytellers to create repetitive villains with forced motivations. Toguro's motivation works because we already know about his characteristic and it is only revealed in the very end.
i just wanna say jiren is pretty much alien mr clean and his character as a whole is pretty much a wwe gimmick since he's big and strong with a personality of a used condom.
My only problem with Toguro is that we learn about his backstory and motives too late in the arc. It makes him feel less developed than he could have been.
@@gr8gmr you may be right but there had to be a better way to develop his character. There are plenty of incredible antagonists in anime and manga even when we know their motives beforehand.
I almost barfed when you added Meruem to the greatest shonen villains list. He was the worst villain in the worst arc of one of my most loved series. He was trash and Togashi should be ashamed of himself for creating that boring ass character.
@@Icee64 The best villain is Kira. He had no morals and was willing to take down his own family in order to achieve his goal and rule the world. Meruem is a bug that played checkers for half his screen time, got hit with a nuke, and then died 5 minutes later.
@Icee64 Yall can laugh all ypu want, I've seen the Ant arc 3 times and it sucks 95% because of Meruem. I'm glad Togashi got back on track with the next arc and then going forward with the dark continent. It is infinitely more interesting than watching some bug get slapped around by Netero.
@@blacksunshine9995 nah Meruem is a coming of age story where he knows nothing about the world and yet tries to claim it but by the end he learns that it’s not about that and put his relationship with Komugi first. I really like that he grows and learns over the course of the arc to the point even Netero falters for a moment on fighting him. I do agree the arcs that came after are really good esp rn. also Kira as in Light Yagami??
![The TERROR of Team Toguro [Yu Yu Hakusho]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E1ghqjxTQhk/mqdefault.jpg)

while hxh has my favorite villains of all time, i think yyh delivers in crafting fitting foils to yusuke... with tugoro representing what yusuke could become and sensui really being a former spirit detective
while the hxh villains dont necessarily feel like they were written with that ethos in mind (i dont want to say one is better than the other tho)
ANYWAYS, thanks for these amazing vids... i watched this, your hxh vid and your sensui one... i want to read yyh now and watch the rest of your vids, keep up the great work
🤔Argument was carefully thought out,well written,and articulated. I agree... Tugoro rocks,homie.🙏🏾💯💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️

Not every shonen antagonist is a villain, and not every villain necessarily embodies the antithesis of the Battle manga tropes but Toguro does all of those things.
The build up to Teguro i had gotten more tense in anticipation than i can recall. It was the most intense part of the story imo
absolutely a banger video. i would love to see you cover mangas like hxh & possibly lesser covered things like solo leveling, or maybe even no guns life which ill say was an ABSOLUTE BANGER anime and im heated it basically vanished from existence

Good work on the thumbnail 🫵👁️👄👁️
Amazing how much good this show was
Beautifully said. Great Toguro tribute.

Can you explain this for non-filipinos?
Always nice coming across someone who appreciates yu yu hakusho as much as i do. Great video and cliche statement but you deserve more subs.
Bravo

I liked the Toguro brothers because both have simple moves (bigger muscles and shapeshifting) but that's all they need to feel threatening and unbeatable.
Great analysis. I've always favored Toguro in my #1 villain spot.

You are very intelligent and perceptive on this stuff. I loved both vids I've seen so far from you. Looking forward to the next one!
I always found Toguro's character to be pretty a tragic character
Amusingly he could just fought Sensui who was already more powerful than him if he just wanted to get crushed horribly. Or the two of them could just asked Konema to give them access to the demon world, and they both could gone there skipping their clashes with Yuseke and all the plots they created to get their situation to happen.

It would been interesting to see if Toguro could grown stronger with stronger foes or how he would have responded to being a small fish in a very large pond.
@Lastjustice nahh now I'm interested on what would happen because of that
I will always say this:
Sensui was a great villain and great blueprint for the characters in HxH, but Toguro’s just too damn iconic.
TOGURO, character: *SOMEONE! PROVE. ME. WRONG*
TOGURO, mind: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
I got the wpunded heart and broken dream reference
Great analysis
This is great, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I love the dark tournament arc. But let's be honest the first world tournament in Dragonball was too iconic and is THE tournament arc for me in shonen
You’re not wrong here but to a lot of People Yu Yu Hakusho aired on TV First before Dragonball. So to everyone the Dark Tournament stands out way more then the Tenkaichi Tournament in DB. Again I’m not knocking the DB tournament.
great argument man
A Toguro character analysis? I need a drink for this
*Pours a glass of Orange Juice, with ice*
Toguro es por momentos tan simple y por momentos tan complejo, que personalmente, nunca había entendido al personaje completamente, este video analiza de forma perfecta todos esos matices y estoy de acuerdo Toguro, Sensui, Chrollo, Hisoka y Meruem se colocan en el podio de los mejores villanos del shonen.

you are not alone
the author making video about Sensui too
I feel Shinobo Sensei wanting to die under cuts his entire point of judging humanity. Toguro could lived with either outcome happening, him going to demon world fighting till he found death or losing to Yusuke on his terms. Sensui seems like he could just asked Konema to "make a wish" for him being near death and open a gate to the demon world, and skipped his whole plot as it doesn't even pan out the way he claims.

ohhh i c, hopefully u find the time 2 watch it, super great show :^) @@The_Ciple
Not all villains are antagonists the same way not all heros are protagonists
Toguro also wanted to be proven wrong or right that his choice of youth and power over friendship was right or wrong.
I came to terms with the body proportions but I couldn’t get over with this grown ass man looking like he can pick up a car fighting with a high school kid that barely looks like he can pick up 100lbs. This show is so great but sometimes I’m reluctant showing this to people new to anime lol.
Anong gentle gentle
Goat period
Orochimaru was pretty fricking bad brought people back from the dead killed people to make them into dolls fed them to his snake and took over bodies to be immortal this guy was a demon for like a minute
I agreed was a force itachi ruin him and the copy ninja. When itachi beat them both they were never the same
TAGUROOOOOOOOOO
Aizen mogs shoenen antoganists
Sensui from yu yu is also great antoganist
But still aizen victim
Aizen is the only Shonen antoganist who is close to perfection
If aizen will get a rich backstory and conclusion in future of BLEACH then he would be perfection
I'd choose the phantom troupe
Toguro IS his team 🤷♂️💪
Sensui
Toguro
Meruem
Freeza
Aizen
Doffy had the most swag.
Toguro's the GOAT
Best of the best
If were talking villain id have to go with frieza. He has genocide, slavery, manipulation, cruelty, op as hell. Id have to give it to him hes a tyrant and he does it all with a smile.

Kinda crazy that he ends up being a demon either way
Toguro killed Genkai because he respected her.
I would choosen Sensui.
anong gentle gentle
He’s also the most badass
I agree

i just wanna say jiren is pretty much alien mr clean and his character as a whole is pretty much a wwe gimmick since he's big and strong with a personality of a used condom.
Toguru had that loliussy.
Idkkk bro I def got aizen as the goat lol
He is itachi but written better.
I feel like the show should have ended after this arc
I also feel like Sensui arc should have been before this arc
🤛🏽
Glazing way to hard😂😂😂is this your first shonen or something 😂😂
Toguro is a bamf!
Madara Uchiha is the greatest shonen villain 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My only problem with Toguro is that we learn about his backstory and motives too late in the arc. It makes him feel less developed than he could have been.
I think if we found out about it too early, he wouldn't be viewed as the villain that he's supposed to be.
@@gr8gmr you may be right but there had to be a better way to develop his character. There are plenty of incredible antagonists in anime and manga even when we know their motives beforehand.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh def not but he is a good one
The live action ruined his character development.
greatest?please...Sensui are above him
Nope
stop saying yurameshi. its lame
Togashi is the biggest shonen villain because he's a lazy crybaby bum
Nah sensui is better
I almost barfed when you added Meruem to the greatest shonen villains list. He was the worst villain in the worst arc of one of my most loved series. He was trash and Togashi should be ashamed of himself for creating that boring ass character.
😂😂😂😂
quite literally the best one he listed there besides Aizen lmao show us some real villains then 😂
@@Icee64 The best villain is Kira. He had no morals and was willing to take down his own family in order to achieve his goal and rule the world. Meruem is a bug that played checkers for half his screen time, got hit with a nuke, and then died 5 minutes later.
@Icee64 Yall can laugh all ypu want, I've seen the Ant arc 3 times and it sucks 95% because of Meruem. I'm glad Togashi got back on track with the next arc and then going forward with the dark continent. It is infinitely more interesting than watching some bug get slapped around by Netero.
@@blacksunshine9995 nah Meruem is a coming of age story where he knows nothing about the world and yet tries to claim it but by the end he learns that it’s not about that and put his relationship with Komugi first. I really like that he grows and learns over the course of the arc to the point even Netero falters for a moment on fighting him. I do agree the arcs that came after are really good esp rn. also Kira as in Light Yagami??
