Yu Yu Hakusho "The Human Race" Talkback(Spoilers)

**Youko Recca** · 10-30-2004, 12:20 PM

Season Two of Yu Yu Hakusho continues. We are finally realised to the truth, Sensui has appeared. With him, the Seven. Though this is only a warm up truth. Motives play part, let's see where it fleshes out and how. This is the official Talkback thread for the Yu Yu Hakusho episode "Divide and Conquer" airing on Toonami October 23rd at 9.5 PM (8.5 Central). However gruesome and painfully addictive in sight, don't let that stop you from commenting on this episode!

So last week it starts. Yusuke finally decides to take Sensui head on and see what he has, after being too cautious a few episodes back when the Reader got shot in the head. Though this isn't really the main focus of the episode. The streetfight isn't really the main attraction, but it's a piece that leads to what we're going to get this week. And while Yusuke tests out Sensui, getting his butt countered many times and taking blows much to his surprise, while all this happens it's not it. Behind the scenes, if they looked deep, it was obvious they were slowly splitting the group up and making them make careless mistakes. That which eventually lead to the main attraction itself, the kidnapping of Kazuma Kuwabara. But more treats were introduced. We got a look at Sensui's style, Reshuuken. Then the revealing of two more of the Seven, Gourmet and Gamemaster. Now Yusuke angrily rides off on a bike, one he stole, after almost destroying Kazuma along with the truck. Can he keep up on the, stolen, bike for much longer? Does this headstrong teen have what it takes to tackle Dark Angel? Or even Sniper? Watch and find out! ONLY Toonami.

Episode Summary Curtesy of the http://YuYuHakusho.com :

Spoiler:

Spoilers: If the episode has already aired on Toonami you do not need to worry about using spoiler tags. If you must comment on episodes that have not yet aired on Toonami you will need to use spoiler tags due to the number of people who have not seen the rest of the series. Also keep in mind that mods have to read these, they are people too and don't need to know about future details that could destroy their enjoyment of the episodes to come. Thank you!

Blind Man's Omen: Wonderul. Yusuke, the angry thug, is becoming more apparent externally. Now it's natural for the protagonist to have much crap thrown his way, but who really likes getting out of a fight that left you embarrisingly beat only to cycle into another asskicking? Ah, it doesn't matter as he's naive due to his rage. Smokey the Bear was on the edge of his seat watching this one. Slash and Burn technique wasn't enough...now we can have vehicles get tossed around. I wouldn't be surprised if ratings were a tiny bit low, seeing as everyone will be trick-or-treating and all. Gotta get your yearly cavities! Ladies and gentlemen....we have walked out of a dark indulgence, and directly into a dangerous game.

For more information check out Funimation's official site, Yu Yu Hakusho.com or I also recommend Spirit Detective. If you prefer a more literal adaptation and you have a better understanding of the Japanese names, you will likely find Reikai Tantei useful as well.

Original Title: Yuusuke Gekisou! Kuwabara wo Sukue.
Translated Title: Yuusuke's Violent Dash! Save Kuwabara.
Dub Title: The Human Race.

Okay, so last week, Urameshi Yuusuke and Sensui Minoru began their first encounter with another, and Yuusuke was owend by Sensui's Resshu Ken fighting style. However, though Sensui could've easily killed Yuusuke, he ran? Yes, and a chase ensued, involving Kazuma, Kurama, and Yuusuke, who eventually caught up with him. Upon catching up to him, they engaged in a fight again, and Yuusuke looked to have the upper hand and about to connect with a ReiKoDan, when Sensui used his other foot to hit Yuusuke. Kazuma tried his luck, but was only able to summon the Rei Ken, and was beaten in a move. Kurama attempted to tie up Sensui's legs, but Sensui used the innocent pedestrians surrounding him as a shield, and began running again, seperating, Kurama from the others. As Yuusuke and Sensui began to seperate themselves from Kazuma, he entered a territory of a little kid, and with the help of a big stumbling guy was captured, and was driven away. Now armed with nothing but a bike, Urameshi Yuusuke must follow his best friend's kidnappers, and keep up with them. But other members of the Sensui Seven lurk in the darkness, ready to ride alongside Yuusuke. Who will change sides to good? to bad?

Nice. And just to throw a question out...who voices Gamemaster in the dub? I know everyone else but put no effort into finding out his for some reason.

On a side note...I almost posted this as the top picture. That would have caused some confusion, so...earlier....that was a mistake for whoever saw it. I can't even copy and paste right when I'm hungry....and tired.

**Youko Minamino** · 10-30-2004, 03:55 PM

Monica Rial does his voice, and that reminds me to go find an IRC Chanel with Bleach Eps 1 and 2.

Oh! That pictures nice. As for GameMaster's voice, it really surprised me. I thought it was going to be a little more mature but it's definately something I can deal with.

"Since people been whining about me, I'll make a cameo to shut them up."

Now we are almost halfway with the Makai No Tobira Hen, Sensui has our pal Kuwabara AKA The One and will use his new Jigen Tou to cut the Kekkai and unleash the A classes and S classes, but Yusuke won't take this lying down. Yusuke will first have to get through Kaname Hagiri the Sniper and his territory. If you thought Sniper can do nothing but flicking small objects at people, you will be surprised with these episodes.

Hiei will be making a SHORT cameo in this episode hence the screenshot. I found this to be an okay episode. The car chase is interesting, but I like Yusuke and Hagiri encounter. I'll be watching if they change my favorite dub line in this episode and if they do FUNi will be cleaning their nice white suits which are now mine. (You will only get this if you've seen the uncut dub.)

Sometimes it seems as if the animaters just get lazy when doing this show, sometimes its good, but a good deal of the time its just bad.

**Dark Soul** · 10-30-2004, 08:42 PM

Were in Dangerous Games now. Well how fast can Yusuke petal we will know on tonights episode.

If you mean Hiei vs Bui part 2/Toguro's Backstory/Yusuke vs Kamiya off, then no your senses are wrong.

If you are refering to the slight discoloring, blame it on Youko Minamino's screen capturing. (I've borrowing screenshots from his website. I'm no Sampo.

)

I can't think of any other reason but whatever.

**Duke** · 10-30-2004, 09:31 PM

Heh, the guy's driving a Hyundai.

**Demonic Raven** · 10-30-2004, 09:32 PM

Wow...car wrecks a plenty...

**WolfieKiwi** · 10-30-2004, 09:32 PM

like i said...car gaming expeirance.

**Umino** · 10-30-2004, 09:35 PM

I hope this in'st going off topic or anything, but why don'st the dub version of YYH not use the 'Smile Bomb remix'? Why does it just use the old version?

**Demonic Raven** · 10-30-2004, 09:39 PM

lmao! That dude got owned by Yusuke..on a bike!

**G1Ravage** · 10-30-2004, 09:39 PM

I see FUNi isn't editing car manufacturers anymore.

But they're being EXTREMELY picky over editing every last bit of blood.

And I think they also edited Botan's bra strap....

Well, it seems 'crap' has returned. Awesome.

**Duke** · 10-30-2004, 09:40 PM

Yusuke: STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! SSSSTTTUUUDDDYYYYYY!!!!! :anime:

Poor Kuwie...

**wrenchien** · 10-30-2004, 09:40 PM
