![]() ![]() It set many staples of modern action series that others have kindly borrowed, and even made an asset out of aspects that are usually shortcomings tournament arcs don’t have the greatest reputation when it comes to this genre because they essentially nullify adventure, but their construction and the distinct personality they had allowed them to function as Yu Yu Hakusho’s backbone – the show even peaked within a tournament!īut general merits of the series aside, I’d like to focus on the adaptation in particular. Yoshihiro Togashi is widely considered one of the most brilliant authors to have ever contributed to Weekly Shonen Jump, and although Yu Yu Hakusho isn’t as thematically tight and poignant as Hunter x Hunter, it’s still heads and shoulders above its competition. The future is uncertain, but this feels like a good moment to look back on the past instead. That day marked the start of Yu Yu Hakusho’s broadcast, hence its current anniversary campaign that promises new developments. A date equivalent to today 25 years ago, although that one happened to be the 10 th instead. The second Saturday of October, thus around the start of anime’s fall season. Today we return with an even more special feature, going in-depth on one of the most spectacular long running shonen anime of all time a look back at the special charm it holds, the circumstances of its production, and the talented creators that made it such an unforgettable experience. It is not known whether this variation is boosted by Hiei empowering himself however, as the attack was only used once, against Sensui, and it had no effect on him.Last month we published a post that contrasted the creative approaches of the original Card Captor Sakura with its new animated incarnation. Hiei is even able to utilize this attack after empowering himself by absorbing the dragon. The attack however, is said to be less powerful than the actual Dragon. Regardless, the sword is capable of slashing through incredibly strong defenses, such as Kuro Momotaro's Armor of the Wolf, and reducing Hiei's opponent to ashes. The damage of this technique is basically the same as the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, but on a smaller scale. Because this technique is similar to the Spirit Sword, Kuwabara accused Hiei of copying it, Hiei however denied having such inspiration. Hiei channels the power of the Dragon of the Darkness Flame into his sword (Demonic Flames in the manga and Japanese version), coating it with deadly green and black flames that increase the sword's cutting power. ![]() However, the technique proved to be completely ineffective against Sensui, who was able to take a direct hit from the attack and emerge unscathed. He uses the Sword of the Darkness twice in the battle, the second time with the sword being made entirely out of the flames. After Yusuke Urameshi died at the hands of the rogue Spirit Detective, Kurama, Kazuma Kuwabara, and Hiei flew into a rage, and challenged Sensui in a head on attack. The second time Hiei used this technique was during the final fight with Shinobu Sensui. Without hesitation, Kuro lashed out at Hiei and sank his teeth into his flesh as blood gushed out onto the arena, but the blood was not Hiei's.įlames immediately spewed from Kuro's back and Hiei sliced through his armored hide with the Sword of the Darkness Flame, reducing the demon to cinders. Refusing to give up, Hiei draws his broken sword weapon despite Kuro's claim that it was hopeless. Despite his best efforts, Hiei was no match for Kuro's Armor of the Phoenix and Armor of the Wolf, and was left at his mercy. Afterwards, Hiei smashed his sword against Kuro's Armor of the Ape. Hiei was placed against Kuro Momotaro, who used Hiei's sword to grant himself immunity from bladed attacks. The origin of the Sword of the Darkness Flame goes back to the Dark Tournament Saga, during Team Urameshi's match up against Team Uraotogi. In the original Japanese version and manga, it is created by drawing in flames from Demon World. However, instead of Hiei using his arms, he infuses the flames around his sword. In the English dub, it is a variation of the Dragon of the Darkness Flame technique. The Sword of the Darkness Flame (邪王炎殺剣, Jaou Ensatsu Ken translated as Wicked King Immolation Sword) is a very powerful technique used by Hiei in the Dark Tournament.
