Yu Yu Hakusho (English)

Yusuke Urameshi was a tough teen delinquent until one selfless act changed his life... by ending it. When he died saving a little kid from a speeding car, the afterlife didn't know what to do with him, so it gave him a second chance at life. Now, Yusuke is a ghost with a mission, performing good deeds at the behest of Botan, the spirit guide of the dead, and Koenma, her pacifier-sucking boss from the "other side." But what strange things await him on the borderline between life and death?

After Yusuke Urameshi grounds a "flighty" Jin for good, Team Urameshi should be one step closer to victory. But thanks (more like no thanks) to a pervading conspiracy among the organizers of the Dark Tournament, Team Urameshi's plate is wiped clean of soldiers left to fight in the twisted event. Meanwhile, Genkai formally reveals herself to Yusuke and gives him the final test to be the sole heir to her formidable technique - a concentrated ball of aura! But due to the conditions surrounding his "second life," Yusuke must be ready and able to inherit the technique - or he dies!

Team Urameshi's successful campaign in the Dark Tournament continues after Fox Demon Kurama makes an honest monster out of Reverse Urashima. Too bad Reverse Uramshima's fellow Fractured Fairy Tale Shishiwakamaru silences him before he could divulge the truth about their team. Meanwhile, Team Urameshi suffers the biggest blow when one member bids them adieu... for good!

When Kuwabara learns the truth about Genkai's demise, he takes the news hard, wondering why Yusuke waited so long to tell him. Then the elder Toguro reappears and taunts the team about Genkai's death! It's not a good idea to tease those experiencing great sorrow--a lesson the elder Toguro quickly learns, but not from the one you'd expect to teach him. Then it's the match you've all been waiting for--Yusuke vs. younger Toguro! Witness fisticuffs the likes of which you've never before seen! Toguro powers up to 80 percent full fighting capacity and emits an aura so toxic it melts the weakest of the demons watching the tournament--and that's just the beginning!

This is it, folks - the conclusion of the long and deadly Dark Tournament. But don't worry - there's lots more to come because a new adventure starts with this volume! After the Dark Tournament ends, Yusuke and his friends come home for a much deserved rest. The vacation is cut short when Yusuke is taken hostage by three classmates who have recently gained strange powers. It's up to Kuwabara and friends to try and rescue him. But without their star fighter's abilities, will they be up to the task?

With the Dark Tournament far behind them, the gang is in a whole new mess! Someone is trying to pick up where Sakyo's dream of opening a portal from the demon plane into the human world left off. Already, energy from their evil world is seeping through. The group heads to Swarm City and finds the place crawling with nasty insects only those with a developed sixth sense can see. Yusuke and friends wind up in the hospital, hot on the trail of an evil doctor who uses demonic bugs to spread his disease. It's a race against time with an entire hospital of people's lives on the line!

Kuwabara's been kidnapped! Unbeknownst to anyone--especially him--his aura sword is so powerful it can actually cut holes between dimensions, which is exactly what his kidnapper Sensui is after. But Yusuke's not giving up so easily and sets off in pursuit on a bicycle. Then Yusuke and his old friends and new allies are put to the test when they battle a bratty little kid in a deadly video game contest! From trivia to battle tennis, the contest heats up! Who will come out on top and who will face the dreaded "Game Over"?
