"This wind coming in feels like home. It's comforting and it soothes me." A place for people who consider YYH home! Also home of the YYH Doujinshi Masterlist. Let's revive this fandom!
Now Yusuke Urameshi and Keiko Yukimura’s relationship is one of the greatest romances in all of anime. However after rewatching the classic shounen anime Yu Yu Hakusho a few months back, I noticed there were aspects of main character Yusuke’s backstory which weren’t elaborated on and general aspects of the character that lacked thorough explanations that could hypothetically be explained and defined by Yusuke’s sexuality being queer. And so in this (potential) new video series, we’ll explore aspects of Yusuke’s characterization without messing with the narrative to present a hypothetical of how Yusuke could be Bi and ask the question NOBODY asked: What If Yusuke Urameshi was Bisexual?
I’m sorry did you just assume No One asked this question because buddy… buddy… where the fuck have you been the last … when did the show start again? Last 25 years?
– Mod Lola, who is very offended, because Bi Yusuke is so obvious and has been in fanon for literally the entire existence of the manga/show.
We chat, we kid, we try to out shame each other. It’s fun! Plus, we’ve got an RP server! Active, lots of people to choose from. Great fun for any YYH RPer!
Brutally Honest Opinion: Kurama x Hiei is the most popular YYH pairing with good reason.
If you have been following my blog for at least the past 30 seconds, it’s clear what my favorite pairing is. Kurama x Hiei is my OTP, that’s no secret, and it always has been. I didn’t pair these two characters at random, though. Like many people, I recognized the chemistry between these two and picked up on the obvious subtext that these characters are much more than allies. Some people read this as an extremely intimate, platonic friendship, and that’s fine. A huge percentage of the YYH fan base, and even a few of the folks who worked on the anime, chose to look a little deeper. My opinion of Kurama x Hiei might not be completely fair, however. My history with this pairing stretches back to a time before I had ever seen Yu Yu Hakusho, before I had even heard of it, for that matter! My first taste of the YYH fandom was stumbling across not only some very suggestive official artwork (featured above), but later doujinshi as well. For these reasons, I walked into my YYH fandom experience with the expectation that there was “something more” going on between Kurama and Hiei. Fortunately, there is a lot “more” to see. Their history as a duo began before the events of the very first episode. They have known each other longer than any other main characters, excluding Yusuke and Keiko (and I’m assuming Yusuke and Kuwabara, though I’m not 100% sure when Kuwabara started picking fights with Yusuke) and Kuwabara and Shizuru, but since those two are siblings, they don’t really count. From their first meeting, these two were able to hone in on each other’s strengths, and fight in perfect harmony. They share countless moments of one-on-one commentary, particularly during the Dark Tournament. It is shown repeatedly that Kurama and Hiei actively spend time together outside the primary events of the show. Also, Kurama is one of the few people who is able to comfortably enter Hiei’s personal space. I could write a lot more about this pairing, but I’ll summarize by saying Kurama x Hiei have earned their place as the most popular, most enduring ship in the YYH fandom. Thank you to the countless artists and authors who are still creating content featuring this stupendous pairing!
