"Resisting is not something I would do" This quote was so badass. Hes basically like yeah buddy the flame heard you talking shit and now i cant hold it back lmao
I think the main reason this scene was such a jaw-dropper was because up until this point most fights in the series are two or three episodes long, and Hiei just one-shots this guy like six minutes into an episode more or less, which kind of sets up a lot of his other fights in the series: while the others fuck around a whole bunch, generally Hiei's fights last a very brief time due to his fondness for ridiculous overkill.
11 years later but it depends on the situation. Short fights vs nobodies work out, but longer fights also work - Hiei vs Bui for example, but in other times like Hiei vs Mukuro does not work.
I remember watching it for the first time and sure there were plenty of guys with cool techniques and whatnot, but this was the first time in the show you saw something this fucking nuts.
@@ivancastillo661 More like when you’re a spectator on the other side of the stadium from the guy who says he has no control of the black fire coming out of the water lol 😂
Exactly, Yu Yu Hakusho is on a different level. Also the reason why I like Jujutsu Kaisen is because its inspired by Yu Yu Hakusho and also has references
@@Prantikde I'm pretty sure bleach was also heavily inspired by yu yu Hakusho. Ichigo an Yusuke r both delinquents. Both die in the beginning but r offered a chance to live when they're given powers by a female shinigami. Both animes are also dripping in style in terms of clothes
I remember winning $10 from this episode. It was obvious he was coming back AND got an extra $5 accurately predicting his shirt would come off, too 😉😉😉
@@demochris1786 the dragon isn't made by his energy. The technique works by using his energy as bait to summon the dragon, but since it's not actually his own energy it doesn't distinguish between him and everything else, so whatever he uses as bait has a high chance of getting chomped too. He eventually learned to control it by trapping the flames in his body and forcing his body to acclimate to them to the extent the flames can no longer hurt him.
Na but a new series in the same universe would be dope. It had a unique world and I really enjoyed the whole spirit energy. The scaling got out of hand towards the end but besides that it was rather unique
Why everyone smoking nut in this comment section rn? Itachi aint based off hiei. (He was there for the clan thing which is why he was created, so you can say hes based of kurapikas clan, but that doesn't really make any sense). Sasuke is based off Kurapika. Everyone is a fan of Dragon Ball you nut. No one in Naruto is based off Vegeta.
Not even close. It's Guts the Black Swordsman that the baddest badass in MANGA and anime history, followed by Kenshiro the Hokuto Shin Ken Master, and then Kujo Jotaro.
This is one of the scenes from my childhood that I remembered almost perfectly and is the reason I started reading the manga just a few days ago. The other scene being the fight with heels on knives
the sub honestly ruined this scene. Hiei's Japanese voice actor is really good but he just sounded so dull when performing the move in sub. Definitely dub>sub.
The antihero always has an epic OP move moment. Reminds me of when Vegeta first used final flash and when Sasuke used Kirin against Itachi. Always a cool moment in anime imo
I'm a manga guy first and foremost but man the imagery in this is something else. I love seeing Hiei actually pull the hellfire out from the earth as well as just how much strain it puts on his body. I didn't love how they made the fight between him and Seiryu longer because it was meant to show just how much Hiei eclipsed everyone else at the time, forcing Yusuke to catch up. This is the same as the manga but using the less limited space to give the attack more weight. Sometimes less is more and sometimes more is more
Meh. I felt manga version was supposed to seem cool in theory but was very anticlimactic. Anime version was still short but still got the point across while giving a good fight
Hiei. The one who would go on to inspire the rival trope in every shounen anime that followed, and even becoming the inspiration for several very important characters from popular franchises. I'll let you google which one's drew from his influence :D.
I always loved these type of anime characters the most. The anti hero. Hiei, Vegeta, gatotsu.. they just seem like far more interesting and complex character types.. and when they redeem themselves it always makes for an amazing character arc. I cannot wait to see dragon of the darkness flame in the live action series.
This is the very first time during the anime series that we see Hiei use this incredible attack, this is one of my personal favorite attacks from any anime series and this attack is amazing by the representation of the dark energy from the spirit/ demon world. This is one of Hiei's classic attacks/ techniques and the "dragon of the darkness flame" attack is well recognized by the Yu Yu Hakusho fan base and is always an enjoyment to see in action.
Hiei was such a badass....this series needs like a reboot with beautiful modern day animation...like imagine madhouse or something animating this scene....
No any reboot of this series couldn't possibly do it justice. yu yu had its run its story is over. please let of be. The original does it justice wonderfully although if you want to see yuyu with more modern animation there are some ovas

I think Hiei is based on Vegeta. I like both characters, but i think Hiei is more badass than Vegeta, which is difficult.
***** not surprised they competed. Both series are fantastic
***** according to kissanime Yu Yu Hakusho had even better ratings.
I feel like Hiei is how Vegeta should have been in DBZ. Vegeta always talked big and got his ass beat, Hiei talks shit and beats ass
nick Qred Very true words
The antihero always has an epic OP move moment. Reminds me of when Vegeta first used final flash and when Sasuke used Kirin against Itachi. Always a cool moment in anime imo

One of best attack announcements from a voice actor ever !!

hiei was the epitome of “fuck around and find out”
Became a Yu Yu fan ever since
This still gives me chills all these years later.

The biggest overkill in anime 😂😂 He could’ve kicked that guys ass straight up, but said fuck it.
"YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE INSULTED THE JIGAN EYE....it really hurt my feelings :("

That sound track though
Who’s here after his jump force trailer
Netflix series did not do justice to the "badass" Heie
Just makes me wonder if Hiei had actually remained a villain and enemy of Yusuke and everyone...
growing up he was my favorite male character in the anime, also I had a HUGE crush on him and sasuke
Scary technique and yet Sensui did not even blink.
I go back to this from time to time.. so cool
Dark Tournament= Hiei's playground. Undefeated.
And most of them, curbstomps.
They really stepped it up for the Blu-Ray release, picture and sound quality top notch, the DVD version doesn't even compare.
