    We are burning right through this arc!! We're already at the Toguro brothers? I mean, Yusuke and Kuwabara are one hell of a team, but there's no way they'll actually be able to beat these two...right??

      its a quick arc in this solid saga like the past 3 minni arcs before the saint beasts were...that one more full arc got a bit dragged out didn't it cause of kuwabara and yusuke's 5 episode combined fights...jesus...could of cut that down to 4 for sure....the anime adds filler fighting and dialogue to extend the show...but its not much...they also cut down the early ghost yusuke stuff in the manga cause its boring

    The thing with Yusuke against the trans girl didnt age well today, but at the same time, we can see through other works from Togashi like Hunter x Hunter, that even if the language was not the best, he respects trans rights and wants to shed some light into the topic. I admire the intention

      I don't see how it doesn't age well, people are way to hung up on what he said instead of the meaning behind his actions. Dude doesn't care what you are his hands are rated E for everyone, that includes transgenders. He doesn't discriminate, he just eliminates.

The whole "you need to go full to be a man" implication with that one line. Also Kuwabara implies it's a guy dressed as a girl. The whole "if you're going to be a man, do it all the way, not halfway" also kind of discredits people who haven't completed transition.

      @@IskandarTheWack I honestly don't see the problem with it. What Yusuke says and does is 100% in-line with his character. You're delusional if you think that a 14 year old single mother-raised delinquent like Yusuke would respect your pronouns loll.
      It's your problem for assuming that the main character has to be the the perfect guiding moral compass of the story or the author's mouthpiece. None of Togashi's MCs were ever that, not Gon and certainly not Yusuke.

The show is from the nineties and Japan and I was not expecting that and I also dislike this. Thanks for hanging! ^^"

      On the one hand, back in the 90s to even see someone who wasn't gender conforming was a huge step. If it hadn't been for these sorts of appearances I would have grown up thinking that the only people who had genitalia that didn't match the socially approved presentation were cross dressers (which is obviously a totally different thing). On the other hand, when exposed to these sorts of scenes I always thought people were being extremely mean and gross for going out of their way to treat someone for how their body was rather than how they want to be treated. Especially since the body parts in question are private parts that polite people shouldn't talk about, touch, or mock ever regardless of any circumstances.
      I just saw this scene since I protest quite this show as a child on episode 2 due to the repeat use of sexual harassment as a joke. The whole "I don't care if you are a woman" thing and then the first thing he does is grope her is so gross. I half expected him to give one of those time typical "you stuff your bra and you are flat lol" jokes girls got. Of course it went in a different and arguably worse direction. It's all so gross and really brings down the show. I am glad times have changed so much.

    I think there's a mistranslation in the dub. When Yusuke says "if you want to be a man, be a man, don't half-ass it", he's supposed to be saying "if you want to be a woman, be a woman, don't half-ass it". It's still not good, he's saying she doesn't "count" unless she fully transitions, but the mistranslation made it downright nonsensical.

      100% agreed. I was definitely uncomfy rewatching this now that I know I'm trans (when I rewatch YYH I typically start at the dark tournament, so I haven't watched this part maybe since I first watched the anime). This level of trans rep is about as good as you could get in this era of anime, unfortunately, but he definitely made an effort, and the fact that he did so much better with Alluka really shows that he actually cares about doing a good job in that area.

      @@OhThatRobin I don't think he was being transphobic so much as he was being technical. Even after finding out the truth he still referred to her as a woman, until Kuwabara made a big deal about it. And then he only yelled at her because she was trying to have it both ways "You won't fight me as an equal" then followed up with "You're only being so violent because you're disgusted by me". Those ideas don't work together. She either wants to fight as an equal, in which case Yusuke wouldn't hold back, or she doesn't. She literally sets herself up to be the victim no matter the situation. She's half-assed, in every part of her personality, she doesn't commit to anything if it doesn't suit her.
      Seriously the only bad writing on her is she's too nuanced to be a side villain. She wasn't even the focus of an episode, let alone more than that.
