Thats actually really cool to know and makes a LOT more sense than what was supposed to be passing as an average Japanese kid having red hair and green eyes. I always thought it was so each member of team urameshi had their own standout color and Kurans got red/pink because his primary weapon was the rose whip. Man i need this show to get a remaster/reboot not just the live action 😭😭😭😭
His hair is red if you have spirit power and black if you're a normal person. This was the cannon explanation
Honestly, the show really doesn’t need a remake. I rewatched it last year, and I enjoyed the hell out of it, and the hand drawn art style adds so much texture and character to the show. They’d probably give it the HxH treatment and make everything smooth and overly bright.
@@MechAdvthe only good thing coming outta it is that a lot of younger people might start watching the original after all the new exposure
Kurama looks great though, whether black or red hair.
I mean yeah it makes sense. Kuwabara’s hair in the manga is shown to be black as well. Their anime looks are iconic but what Togashi did in the manga honestly does make sense when you think about it. Kurama is supposed to just look like a normal human and while it is a manga/anime….there are no other normal humans with wild hair colors so Kurama realistically would have VERY MUCH stood out having red hair.
Manga wise, it’s completely believable that Kurama could pass off as a human since he just looks like a normal japanese pretty boy.
Love Kurama's Rose hair it's too iconic
Bruh, his colored hair was one of the reasons I thought he was a girl. And because he's also cute, my 10 years old self got a huge crush on him lmao
It certainly does help him stand out and they picked a pretty nice color scheme. The reddish hair and green eyes do wonderfully with the roses he uses too.
I love that they did this cause that looks even more amazing
I mean...his red hair is iconic. Plus he kinda looks like a certain canine demon with black hair
I always thought it was "kurama's" influence over the boy he took over. Lokking back qt white hair kurama, that doesnt make much sense
I mean black looked fine but red is way better for my husbando
His red hair actually makes his character design stand out so much more. I mean Kuwabara is ginger so Kurama having red instead of black hair isn't too off base😂
Straight genius to change his hair
That’s a crazy cool fact, I read the manga a long while back, have it sitting on my shelf, & still never realized this!
The side of volume 6 does make his hair look a bit reddish, but that’s the case for lots of characters- as they all have crazy color palettes on the side of the volumes! (i.e. Kuwabara with green hair on the side of volume 4.)
I think the localized manga from back then don't show off the color pages, sadly
I will never understand why all of the fans still would rather prefer the manga over the anime.
Red hair kurama looks better then the black hair one
This was a good decision. It aligns well with his floral motif, and also makes him look even prettier to appeal to the female demographic.
Either is fine but i wouldnt mind seeing some original animation with black hair. Maybe another ova
Black hair, Red hair, who cares!
Kurama is still cute❤
Red hair was a better choice, really helps the boy pop!!
No way!
In the anime, Kurama is better with Red hair
Black is 100% Better for me, the crimson is still cool tho
Why not brown? If he was my character, out of the reikai, he'd have brown hair and hazel brown eyes. Though I like the foxy red, pink, green attributes they gave him in the anime. Then again, Kuwabara is a red head looking a lot like an American. I unfortunately have never sat down and watched a lot of this show. I just know some things about it. Like Youko Kurama has white/silver/lilac hair and I love that form.
Yeahh that’s not pink
This man is almost damn 40 still acting like this smh. You know as tired as it got after a while, its easy to see why Will used to always go in on LTG every time he acts up. He NEVER learns, but always wonders why nobody effs with him.
I don't recognize Kurama at all.
They all should have black hair honestly
Sir that is a purple uniform. And also his hair isn't actually black, it's black if you have no spirit awareness. So to all the main characters his hair actually is very much red. This was the actual cannon explanation. How did you appear to do research and miss this critical piece?
No... You're the one that's off base here. Where did you find this "canon" explanation?
Well, this is one moment where the changed version seems much better than the original
It isn't changed. His hair canonically appears red to you if you have spirit power.
