How can people not think kuwabara is a top character in shounen....people legit put him like 5th in this show..he's handled and used way better in many scenarios than the others
I like the innocence in his what the hell could be the reason for this and his naïve way of saying this is the part where I power up and save the day we've learned hes so good I thin k what helps this dub is yusukes voice actor directed it and also was chris sabats engineer so they are real life friend so when they had to play scenes with yusuke kuwabaras interactions they sounded like real friends would like whenever they fought or bonded ...lol I remember the line from kuwabara if your gonna enter then so am I yusukes is like don't get so excited its embarrassing
+Bonfire Keeper James Back in the 90s, there was quite a few english dubs tbh even better than the japanese dubs. It just went to shit and japanese dubs became good.
This is why Kazuma Kuwabara is my favorite character. He is brave, truthful and he cares about his friends and family. He may be goofy but I think that adds to his charms.
There are so many fucking weebs who will outright deny the quality of an English dub just because they wish they were japanese so bad. It's disgusting really. Like I get it and I agree that the *vast* majority of English dubs are crap in comparison but Jesus fuck people... get your head out of your ass and give credit where it's due.
Ripper 30 Nostalgia: a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. I'm saying the sub is bad, don't really think nostalgia applies here.
I'm sorry but this is the best scene. The stakes are extremely high and when Kuwabara yells come on you get mad hyped because he is desperately trying to save his best friend from death
That wasn't the moment that triggered me. It was when his endless optimism crumbled and he said "there isn't any reason for this..." That alone broke my heart ;.;
Peter Parker yup. This scene and when kuwabara is at yusuke's wake ALWAYS makes me cry and I've seen this anime like, 8 times. I know it's coming but I can't stop the tears lol but when Yusuke's mom finally breaks out of her trance and realizes her son is dead and breaks down, ooohhh I break down too. And Tanaka crying and yusuke realizing he saw greatness in him when everyone else saw him as scum.
Peter Parker kinda, it's one of them but the whole climax of the dark tournament is the best even though it gets undone later, yusuke a reaction to thinking kuwabaras dead where he just shuts down is so just.. yeah
Dont Know HEY! Dont forget I made that Freaky Toguro brother the one who is stronger than those guys a run for his money. and I would have killed him if he didnt have a power to heal! -_-
Kuwabara is probably one of the best developed characters in a shounen battle series. I relate to him as usually I’m not the strongest guy and smartest guy but when I really try and put out the upmost effort I succeed at it.
More than anything, More than anyone, Kuwabara was a Kindhearted soul. His Pain is powerful. Because he has Hope. Because he Loves. Of course he can cut through the barrier. Love and Kindness can tear down walls and bring worlds together.
the way his love for yukina shined through even if at first it was lustful he became more sensitive to her feelings and assumed she hated humans and wants to show her the good side not to get in her pants but to legit show her a different side of humanity so she doesnt hate
Kuwabara is one of the best character's in anime history. I just love him. And you're right. His voice actor really nailed him on the head in every way.
@@LJ-hk4tv I watched enough shows to know that the entirety of shonen is that if you're a broody pretty boy then you're bound to be powerful. On the other hand, Kuwabara defies that and is a fucking BADASS
LJ most people who go back decades to watch yuyu hakusho have definitely watched a lot of anime only experienced anime viewers would even give this anime a chance especially if they’re young dicchead
"It's the part where I power up and save the day!" Between the self- referencing dialogue and Kuwabara slicing through the dimension, I think this anime was subtlely poking fun at breaking the 4th wall.
Kuwabara is awesome. Best human out of any series for me. I mean look at DBZ, humans just got tossed to the side. Here comes YYH and Kuwabara is the MAN. He deserves someone like Yukina too.
Can kuwabara destroy a planet...no...can yamcha do. Yes So of course, yamcha doesn't stand a chance against cell or buu who are solor systems verse stated by cell in the manga and anime
mrm64 ok lets switch them then. If yamcha was in yyh verse he will kill them easyly i mean vegeta first appearance was so strong he can destroyed the earth and reccome kick his ass, after king kai trained yamcha, yamcha defeated reccome with one blow. So yamcha at full power must be a planet buster. While kuwabara cant even win against krillin from dragon ball or kid goku.
"Urameshi, you died a hero's death..you sacrificing youre life to save billions of others, you Lit our torches and i wont let your death be in vain. Even if it means ill be joining you soon" -Kuwabara
+Rodney Christopher Tbh Kuwabara was always my least favorite. Might be my least fav anime character of all time. His voice annoyed me, his fucking ginger hair annoyed me, his ugly bs attitude annoyed me. He was lazy, whiny, wouldn't stfu, had serious self-entitlement issues AND to top it all off had to be one of the creepiest as well. I mean, he basically claimed Yukina as his GF and constantly bragged about it when she clearly didnt have any feelings toward him at all. It was sickening watching this waste of space constantly think he was strong. Thats my rant out of the way.. But yeah, fucking hate him.
+Jordan Smith I guess you weren't watching Kuwabara. Literally he's the opposite of everything you just said. He's not lazy, or whinny. That was Yusuke. He couldn't be more honorable if he wanted to. Zero self-entitlement actually. Everything he did was for other people, never himself. He has an honor code. You couldn't be more wrong about him if you tried.
Same. Even though Kuwabara was the weakest, I always liked the fact that he wasn't useless, like many characters in DBZ. Also, Kuwabara sweated manliness, like that time he was ready to fight Yusuke when he thought Yusuke was beating up a girl. _"A mulberry is a tree, Kuwabara is a man."_
Datspiritgundoe There is truth in fiction. Its not bad to have similar qualities to a character. Kuwabara is a cool character. He saved Yusuke's life when Yusuke used all his spirit and life energy killing Suzaku. He rescued Yukina. He defeated the Earth Demon Ninja in the Dark Tournament when he didn't have any spirit power.
back when anime dubs weren't stupid they actually tried on making something original good not being lazy now they just copy the Japanese which makes no sense we are in America their culture customs phrases dialect don't make sense in English I want to watch an American dub not the same show if I wanted Japanese I will watch it subbed dbz failed for a while in the 90's until funimation made it big why because it was a more modern script it changed from the original and got better it wouldn't have become as popular in America without it if kai was the first dub back in 1998 it would have failed like the dubs before it theirs a reason it succeeded finally it was cause funimation tried and their product made it great
If I remember correctly, this scene didn't happen in the manga; in the manga, Kuwabara literally, instantaneously, and out of nowhere summons the jigen to/dimension sword and then cuts through the dimension that he, Hiei, Kurama, and Itsuki are in. This is still my favorite scene in my favorite anime, and I wouldn't have changed a thing.
@@TheKyrix82 the manga has some pretty important extra lore, as well as nice extra scenes in arcs such as the spirit detective saga, not to mention some godlike art, so i wouldnt call it inferior by any means. id rate them equal in getting the full picture of the story that is yu yu hakusho.
Kazuma Kuwabara is perhaps the best guy in Yu Yu Hakusho. The man is an earnest and hardworking soul. He might not have the talent of Yusuke, but he has the will and dedication to push through anything when he sets his mind to it. He's the heart of the group and the one that keeps the group together. Without Kuwabara, Yusuke, Hiei and Kurama would have went their own separate ways early on. He may not always win fight, but he gets the victories when it matters.
That soundtrack that starts at 0:49 is what brings the greatness of this scene altogether... Yu Yu Hakusho had such a great, atmospheric soundtrack. Each of the scores always play at the right time. Long live 90's anime greatness
Yu Yu Hakusho is easily my favorite long running shonen anime. It might be pretty high up there as my favorite in general. Hard to say, but I really recommend anyone watch it. The English script and voice acting is excellent.
Aey man to that. I just wish the quality would have been more consistent with the more recent anime nowadays. But other than that, Im glad I was able to go back and rewatch the whole series--from start to finish-- after not having watched it in 16+ years. It's one of those classics that will stay with us for a lifetime.
One of the worst sins in a great show like Yu Yu Hakusho was not have Kuwabara defeat Sensui. He was pratically the hidden protagonist of the arc, built up for this exact scene, then they threw it away for more Yusuke Time and the Raizen BS. It would've also totally made up for Kuwabara's absence in the final saga.
sikisikiamimis sensui would have died in one hit. He tanked everything. Everything from Yoko and dragon hiei but he doged every single attack from kuwa. Cause one hit could kill sensui. Kuwa’s dimension sword is on a whole new tier of op. It’s why he was left out of the demon world tourney (not cause he was human)
@@caveman7854 The dimenonsial sword is capable of destroying the demon world itself they just needed a excuse not to include him because they knew his power would destroy anyone and anything
The demon world tournament arc might be kinda weak, but it helps to explain Yusuke and bring the power creep to and end. But the reasoning is plain, simple, and the truth. Kuwabara going the the Demon world would have ended up ruining his life. The only reason he went through so much character growth is his normal life in the Human world. He started with a misunderstood attitude, which gradually began to grow into his bond with Yusuke. And together they ended up norming and forming their team. But Demon world is full of shit that God/King Yemma can't even handle. It's far beyond a normal human, and the end of Sensui's fight showed it clear as day. The best Spirit world can do is simply lock them in their own world and kill the strangler weaklings that make it through the barrier by employing "spirit detectives". Over all his fights, Kuwabara managed to reform himself into a more responsible man. There's simply no place for him in Demon world as he has other concerns that are far more important to his character. He gave himself the chance to succeed in a normal human life and not be one of those fuck ups who can't even get into a decent school. Granted, that's Japanese logic, but ignoring his real life for years would have undone everything good he managed to accomplish. At the same time, there had to be some explanation of Yusuke's latent abilities. Being imbued with an ancestral demon heritage is probably the only way they could have ended it. It went from Yusuke "dying unexpectedly", realizing his worth and being brought back to life, straight to his new job hunting down weak demons that he was in no way prepared to fight, to him going to Genkai for training, then going to rescue Yukina, being pulled further into the demon arena by being forced to enter the tournament, going back to some weird ass normal human psychic outbreak after the Halloween house awkwardness, then finally to Sensui who was pretty much the pinnacle of human potential. If there was going to be any explanation as to why he was going surpass Sensui, it has always been leaning toward the demon world since the beginning. Especially since dealing with Kurama who was in a similar situation as Yuske was. I feel like if they didn't end things with Yusuke finally bringing his take on reality to demon world, returning to whence his original ancestral powers came from as part human and demon, then finally making his own unique brand of energy brought about by his Hybrid human/demon ancestry, they never would have been able to come full circle as a character. They needed to go to the demon world in some way in order to bring things to some sort of amicable conclusion.
Kuwabara went over all there experiences together, re-experienced all their battles in his head, hit an emotional peak, and finally dug deep to reach a whole new level of strength... And it amount to absolutely NOTHING!
i know this is an older comment but had he not cut that barrier yusuke could not have chased sensui to demon world after he revived. still wish he got a blow in on sensui though
@lct23 Nah. The conflict was in stopping sensu from breaking the barrier. He only traveled through it to use himself as bait so kuwabara would open it. If Kuwabara didn't already have the dimensional sword working then sensu would've taken a different approach, probably torture, until Yusuke rose. That said, Yusuke would've likely lost without raisen taking control of him, so it all worked out in the end.
This was by far the most intense scene in the show! Kuwabara is a champ! And I don't give a DAMN about dub haters, they can just suck it cuz they're precious show isn't just Japanese. If only that sword killed itsuki and Sensui at the same time. Such an emotional part, I'm always on the edge of my seat when it happens.
The really serious and dramatic scenes we really well done for the english dub. You really feel the desperation in Christopher Sabat voice. Same with Justin Cook he gave me chills during the spirit wave orb test.
Yes OMG during the trials I felt like I was in the pain of the trial. The sub doesn't do it justice at all. Not even close. & Kawabara rn sounds so great & emotional
In the scene just before this. He begs Yusuke to give him more time to unlock his power. He runs to the eye whole and trips as he begs and it sounds so perfect its like it was happening in real life. its heart wrenching
robert carfang well....he cared about Yusuke himself but he killed Genkai, and it had nothing to do with Yusuke, he "killed" Kuwabara to bring out Yusuke's potential that was being blocked by a wall of suppressed emotion, by Genkai's suggestion. But in the end, in his own way, he does care for Yusuke. He only ever wanted was to be killed by his hand at 100% of his power lol
Damn. I really love this scene. The delivery Panning of angles Scenes of memories All characters in awe Musical score Damn. It’s all there and very powerful to watch
Thank you for uploading this. This was definitely one of the most powerful scenes in a series full of them. Heartbreak and frustration resonates throughout this entire performance. Aside from his phenomenal voice acting in this scene, one of the special things Sabat did was have Kuwabara cuss. Although Kuwabara cussed a little early on in the series, up to this point, he hadn't cussed for several several episodes and he doesn't cuss again for the rest of the series. Having him cuss here added something special. Another related scene with excellent voice acting by Christopher Sabat is when goes to check Yurameshi's heartbeat and doesn't hear it. Wow. Just wow. Years later and it still hits hard. _"There's nothing wrong with two guys needing each other."_ - Kuwabara
Believe me or not, my friend drew a picture for Christopher and now he's going to voice act one of his skits. I heard his lines just today. It was awesome
Both Justin Cook and Chris Sabat are literal god-tier voices for this anime. Everything about this show is, from the (best damn) dialogue to the story, the action, the badassness and spook-level... easily brings me back to rewatching it time and time again. And I have a very hard time not liking Kuwabara the most, even though every other character is so great and has so much depth.
"a mulberry is a tree, and kuwabara is a man" best quote and no doubt some time and effort was put into research when doing this dub. best english dub of any anime ever. i swear to god. it captures that perfect late 80's late 90's feel. you know when we talked to each other face to face and not behind some screens? good times good times.
This is exactly why Kuawabara deserved an early retirement. The demons needed to tie up their loose ends, but even right here, and right now, Kuwabara knew exactly who he was. A lot of people missed him in the final season, as did I, but there’s nothing more to be said for his character. He seems goofy, but he was quite mature.
Yes! Each of the MCs in YYH could have their own spinoff. Seeing Kuwabara’s flashback family moments and things he did during the 3 year skip would be great. Also how he managed to reach Lower S Class by the end without any formal training or major threats
you know when i was younger i didnt like kuwabara , but re watching this as an adult my point of view has changed so much of him, he's the kind of man you want to marry
I'm so glad to say YYH was my childhood manga and show instead of DBZ or Naruto. The emphasis on well written characters and development without being too extreme or edgy makes moments like these shine. YYH wasn't about intense fights or becoming the most powerful: it was about growing up. Justin Cook did a damn good job with writing the dialogue for the English dub, I don't think my childhood would've been same if it wasn't him behind it. This moment as well as the manga and anime will forever hold an important place in my life.
I've been known to criticize Sabat for using his same sort of voice repeatedly in a lot of his work. But honestly, I was too harsh on the guy. He can be really great, and I adore his performance as Kuwabara. I can't imagine anyone else as the character, and I had zero clue it was even him until I found out from the internet. I like him even better characters like this than as guys like Armstrong or Vegeta. He can definitely do other voices like Kuwabara and Yamcha, but sometimes you just have no idea.
I’ve loved Yu Yu hakusho every since I’ve seen it on toonami In the early-mid 2000s. The voice actor chris sabat extremely nostalgic to say the least to my childhood. Thank you so much for your work and time.
I actually met a girl at an anime convention who thought Kuwabara was nothing but an idiot. I don't normally argue with complete strangers about an anime that hasn't aired in years but man I had to that time lol
I’m was scared as hell when Yusuke died. I legit thought it was over. I see people in the comments saying that they wish the author had killed off more characters, but with the exception of Genkai, I’m glad he didn’t. The story benefited so much from the presence of each of the main four whereas Genkai being bought back to life can only truly be justified by using it as an example of character growth for Yusuke.

He might not have the talent of Yusuke, but he has the will and dedication to push through anything when he sets his mind to it. He's the heart of the group and the one that keeps the group together. Without Kuwabara, Yusuke, Hiei and Kurama would have went their own separate ways early on. He may not always win fight, but he gets the victories when it matters.
That soundtrack that starts at 0:49 is what brings the greatness of this scene altogether... Yu Yu Hakusho had such a great, atmospheric soundtrack. Each of the scores always play at the right time. Long live 90's anime greatness
Absolutely.
The sound design in YYH is a master class in setting the scene by the musical score by itself.
@@danielwatson7386 Agreed! YYH, and Neon Genesis have some of the best sound design honestly.
what's it called?
god. this scene is definitely in my top three favorite scenes of the whole series.
Why Thank you :)
Inside my head
(Well I was cool at this time even though I hated Seeing Urameshi Getting Beaten up like that)

sonicsupa99 nice picture Sonics awsome :)
For me it’s anime in general
Yu Yu Hakusho is easily my favorite long running shonen anime. It might be pretty high up there as my favorite in general. Hard to say, but I really recommend anyone watch it. The English script and voice acting is excellent.
Gakuto same. I actually adore the dub. One of the best dubbed animes ever.
Aey man to that. I just wish the quality would have been more consistent with the more recent anime nowadays. But other than that, Im glad I was able to go back and rewatch the whole series--from start to finish-- after not having watched it in 16+ years. It's one of those classics that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Kuwabara is such a GOAT, and without Christopher Sabat it wouldn't be that way. 10/10 Voice acting here.
yusuke is the leader.
kurama is the brains.
hiei is the brawn.
and kuwabara is the heart.
I heard Yamcha 0:10
Ox King 0:47
Vegeta 1:40
Jeice 2:08
Chris Sabat is a legend !!!
checkmyvinyl Kyle Hebert does Ox King, fyi.
Yes, but Chris did Ox King back in the days. For you're information! ;)
...-_- ugh. That hurt. I thought I knew all!
Have a senzu..
0:40 too, it sounds like Vegeta
One of the worst sins in a great show like Yu Yu Hakusho was not have Kuwabara defeat Sensui.
He was pratically the hidden protagonist of the arc, built up for this exact scene, then they threw it away for more Yusuke Time and the Raizen BS. It would've also totally made up for Kuwabara's absence in the final saga.
sikisikiamimis sensui would have died in one hit. He tanked everything. Everything from Yoko and dragon hiei but he doged every single attack from kuwa. Cause one hit could kill sensui. Kuwa’s dimension sword is on a whole new tier of op. It’s why he was left out of the demon world tourney (not cause he was human)
@@caveman7854 The dimenonsial sword is capable of destroying the demon world itself
they just needed a excuse not to include him because they knew his power would destroy anyone and anything
The demon world tournament arc might be kinda weak, but it helps to explain Yusuke and bring the power creep to and end. But the reasoning is plain, simple, and the truth. Kuwabara going the the Demon world would have ended up ruining his life. The only reason he went through so much character growth is his normal life in the Human world. He started with a misunderstood attitude, which gradually began to grow into his bond with Yusuke. And together they ended up norming and forming their team. But Demon world is full of shit that God/King Yemma can't even handle. It's far beyond a normal human, and the end of Sensui's fight showed it clear as day. The best Spirit world can do is simply lock them in their own world and kill the strangler weaklings that make it through the barrier by employing "spirit detectives".
Over all his fights, Kuwabara managed to reform himself into a more responsible man. There's simply no place for him in Demon world as he has other concerns that are far more important to his character. He gave himself the chance to succeed in a normal human life and not be one of those fuck ups who can't even get into a decent school. Granted, that's Japanese logic, but ignoring his real life for years would have undone everything good he managed to accomplish. At the same time, there had to be some explanation of Yusuke's latent abilities. Being imbued with an ancestral demon heritage is probably the only way they could have ended it.
It went from Yusuke "dying unexpectedly", realizing his worth and being brought back to life, straight to his new job hunting down weak demons that he was in no way prepared to fight, to him going to Genkai for training, then going to rescue Yukina, being pulled further into the demon arena by being forced to enter the tournament, going back to some weird ass normal human psychic outbreak after the Halloween house awkwardness, then finally to Sensui who was pretty much the pinnacle of human potential. If there was going to be any explanation as to why he was going surpass Sensui, it has always been leaning toward the demon world since the beginning. Especially since dealing with Kurama who was in a similar situation as Yuske was. I feel like if they didn't end things with Yusuke finally bringing his take on reality to demon world, returning to whence his original ancestral powers came from as part human and demon, then finally making his own unique brand of energy brought about by his Hybrid human/demon ancestry, they never would have been able to come full circle as a character. They needed to go to the demon world in some way in order to bring things to some sort of amicable conclusion.
Kuwabara went over all there experiences together, re-experienced all their battles in his head, hit an emotional peak, and finally dug deep to reach a whole new level of strength... And it amount to absolutely NOTHING!
kyle cyrus yup. Completely heartbreaking. God. And the music.
i know this is an older comment but had he not cut that barrier yusuke could not have chased sensui to demon world after he revived. still wish he got a blow in on sensui though
@lct23 Nah. The conflict was in stopping sensu from breaking the barrier. He only traveled through it to use himself as bait so kuwabara would open it. If Kuwabara didn't already have the dimensional sword working then sensu would've taken a different approach, probably torture, until Yusuke rose. That said, Yusuke would've likely lost without raisen taking control of him, so it all worked out in the end.
This was by far the most intense scene in the show! Kuwabara is a champ! And I don't give a DAMN about dub haters, they can just suck it cuz they're precious show isn't just Japanese. If only that sword killed itsuki and Sensui at the same time. Such an emotional part, I'm always on the edge of my seat when it happens.
Sensui constantly treated it like it could kill him
This is the best scene in the show
Kuwabara has one of the most unique voices in any anime. I love it
I FREAKING LOVE THIS ONE OF KUWABARA'S MOST AWSOME SCENES
Neritza Velez kuwabara's best scene
As much as I love Dragon Ball Z it never got my emotions running high like Yu Yu Hakusho.
Epic shit
Kuwabara is awesome and pretty badass in his own right. That being said, I can't help but laugh like a maniac when he laughs.
+Just Some Guy with a Mustache Everyone calls Hiei a badass. Bullshit. Kuwabara all the way.
+Rob George they both are
totaldramafan108 I'm fine with that.
The really serious and dramatic scenes we really well done for the english dub. You really feel the desperation in Christopher Sabat voice. Same with Justin Cook he gave me chills during the spirit wave orb test.
Yes OMG during the trials I felt like I was in the pain of the trial. The sub doesn't do it justice at all. Not even close. & Kawabara rn sounds so great & emotional
In the scene just before this. He begs Yusuke to give him more time to unlock his power. He runs to the eye whole and trips as he begs and it sounds so perfect its like it was happening in real life. its heart wrenching
Kuwabara is easily up their with the manliest men in anime
Just an absolute tearjerker when he's crying and trying to force that sword out and yelling "Come on!! COME ON!!!"
Sensui's Personalities and the Toguro brothers disliked this video!
lol
robert carfang except younger yoguro 😂 he actually cared for yusuke like a son XD
Toguro * sorry.
Susana Canales So he killed Yusuke's only teacher he liked and "killed" Yusuke's best friend Kuwabara out of love? LOL!
robert carfang well....he cared about Yusuke himself but he killed Genkai, and it had nothing to do with Yusuke, he "killed" Kuwabara to bring out Yusuke's potential that was being blocked by a wall of suppressed emotion, by Genkai's suggestion. But in the end, in his own way, he does care for Yusuke. He only ever wanted was to be killed by his hand at 100% of his power lol
This guy voiced Jigen in the Lupin movies, Major Armstrong on Full Metal Alchemist. He is the most amazing voice actor (Aside from a few others).
Plus Vegeta and Piccolo
The ost and his Voice Acting make this one of the best scenes in an anime of all time.
It's cool how they gave Kuwabara much needed buff this arc
The voice with the ost goes so perfect. Wow this anime was ahead of its time man.
"What the hell could be the reason for this" gets me every time :')
Do we really need to list the reasons Chris Sabat is amazing? I mean, it's just so obvious.
This scene alone has convinced me to watch Yu Yu Hakusho
did you do it?
Kuwabara is that friend you never know how badly you need till shit hits the fan
Damn. I really love this scene.
The delivery
Panning of angles
Scenes of memories
All characters in awe
Musical score
Damn. It’s all there and very powerful to watch
This scene made me cry. I watched this scene over and over on DVD. Never thought I would be so moved by an anime but this taught me otherwise.
this scene was so depressing when I first saw it....
Yusuke and hiei are the force of the team…Kurama and Kuwabara are the heart of the team 💯💯💯
Thank you for uploading this. This was definitely one of the most powerful scenes in a series full of them. Heartbreak and frustration resonates throughout this entire performance. Aside from his phenomenal voice acting in this scene, one of the special things Sabat did was have Kuwabara cuss. Although Kuwabara cussed a little early on in the series, up to this point, he hadn't cussed for several several episodes and he doesn't cuss again for the rest of the series. Having him cuss here added something special. Another related scene with excellent voice acting by Christopher Sabat is when goes to check Yurameshi's heartbeat and doesn't hear it. Wow. Just wow. Years later and it still hits hard.
_"There's nothing wrong with two guys needing each other."_ - Kuwabara
Thats why this is the best anime full of passion and emotion
God Dammit Kuwabara, getting my feelings all caught up in a twist :'(
0:22 Kuwabara sumed up action anime cliche 101. I feel like that's a Deadpool level wall-break, just less funny due to the circumstances.
hes legit speaking for audience members..hes like wait why aren't I getting stronger?..cause its not realistic until his heart truly snaps
Believe me or not, my friend drew a picture for Christopher and now he's going to voice act one of his skits. I heard his lines just today. It was awesome
Angel Morris. I know im a year late 😁 but you think you could tell me how i can see this skit?:)
He didn't just magically got those powers he earned them despite the hopelessness.
Both Justin Cook and Chris Sabat are literal god-tier voices for this anime. Everything about this show is, from the (best damn) dialogue to the story, the action, the badassness and spook-level... easily brings me back to rewatching it time and time again.
And I have a very hard time not liking Kuwabara the most, even though every other character is so great and has so much depth.
This scene made me tear up
"a mulberry is a tree, and kuwabara is a man"
best quote and no doubt some time and effort was put into research when doing this dub. best english dub of any anime ever. i swear to god.
it captures that perfect late 80's late 90's feel. you know when we talked to each other face to face and not behind some screens? good times good times.
Still watching in 2021 this show will never get old no matter how many times I watch
Ah man it cut off just as soon as the heart wrenching part started
Damn this hit me right in the feels
A bully turned friend will be friend until the end 💯
i love yu yu hakasho the last saga i cried because this was my child hood and i love chris r sabat and i still do as a voice actor
Without a doubt this is my favorite scene, brings a tear down from my eye
Man Yuyu-Hakusho really makes you wanna reach into the depths of your inner strength.
Kuwabara is the most quotable character in anime. He has so many good lines and speeches.
Most emotional scene in yu yu hakusho
Missed the best part of the episode when he starts sobbing. That was real emotional!
Sabat gave an award-winning performance throughout the entire episode.
+Joseph Kerr More like the entire series but yes this one hands down
Man I start crying 10 seconds into the freaking video
You're damn right about that. I loved his voices as Vegita, Yamcha, and Piccolo on Dragon Ball Z, and of course, Kuwabara in Yuu Yuu Hakusho.
I'm pretty sure he's also all might in mha
I bet Chris had a blast with this.
This is still my favorite part of the series just the sheer emotion of it all.
Best acting you will ever witness
I know every word kuwabara is about to say and I still tear up...
same brother
Tell me describe about phrases of kuwabara
This is exactly why Kuawabara deserved an early retirement. The demons needed to tie up their loose ends, but even right here, and right now, Kuwabara knew exactly who he was. A lot of people missed him in the final season, as did I, but there’s nothing more to be said for his character. He seems goofy, but he was quite mature.
I rewatched this the other night and I was still teary eyed, the emotions felt so real
this scene is amazing...right there with kuwabara dying from toguro and yusukes fight with yomi...LOVE IT!!!!
This is how the funny/"silly" main character should be written in anime
Yes! Each of the MCs in YYH could have their own spinoff. Seeing Kuwabara’s flashback family moments and things he did during the 3 year skip would be great. Also how he managed to reach Lower S Class by the end without any formal training or major threats
A mulberry is a bush, Kawabara is the Man!
you know when i was younger i didnt like kuwabara , but re watching this as an adult my point of view has changed so much of him, he's the kind of man you want to marry
I'm so glad to say YYH was my childhood manga and show instead of DBZ or Naruto. The emphasis on well written characters and development without being too extreme or edgy makes moments like these shine. YYH wasn't about intense fights or becoming the most powerful: it was about growing up. Justin Cook did a damn good job with writing the dialogue for the English dub, I don't think my childhood would've been same if it wasn't him behind it.
This moment as well as the manga and anime will forever hold an important place in my life.
My favorite thing is Sensui DODGES Kuwabara's sword!
He'll tank hits from Hiei's Dragon and Kurama, but he gets the f*** out of the way of Kuwabara!
God I love the music from this scene.
Kuwabara is the best boy and the greatest developed supporting character ever because he went from hating Yusuke to looking out for him.
"Well this joke got feelings." Perfectly said to fit the amount of reverence that line deserves.
Kuwabara: This hand of mine glows with an awesome power!
I've been known to criticize Sabat for using his same sort of voice repeatedly in a lot of his work. But honestly, I was too harsh on the guy. He can be really great, and I adore his performance as Kuwabara. I can't imagine anyone else as the character, and I had zero clue it was even him until I found out from the internet.
I like him even better characters like this than as guys like Armstrong or Vegeta.
He can definitely do other voices like Kuwabara and Yamcha, but sometimes you just have no idea.
I’ve loved Yu Yu hakusho every since I’ve seen it on toonami In the early-mid 2000s. The voice actor chris sabat extremely nostalgic to say the least to my childhood. Thank you so much for your work and time.
No lie this scene brought a tear to my eyes. Great story and amazing voice actor. Salute
I actually met a girl at an anime convention who thought Kuwabara was nothing but an idiot. I don't normally argue with complete strangers about an anime that hasn't aired in years but man I had to that time lol
Favorite kuwabara line:
He's going to kick your ass like a regular named guy in a wrestling match!"
Yusuke Vs Yomi! Yes!
One of the most iconic voices in Shounen history
Such an underrated masterpiece. One of the best TV shows to ever exist. Kuwabara was always my favorite growing up.
"C'mon.... C'MON!"
hype
Watching this in 2015 😎
Jesus I'm 36 and I remember watching this when I was 14 and I still get teary eyed and goosebumps all over...
I’m was scared as hell when Yusuke died. I legit thought it was over. I see people in the comments saying that they wish the author had killed off more characters, but with the exception of Genkai, I’m glad he didn’t. The story benefited so much from the presence of each of the main four whereas Genkai being bought back to life can only truly be justified by using it as an example of character growth for Yusuke.
