[Yu Yu Hakusho] Yusuke is just called a delinquent, but he’s not really like that.

……… Yusuke Urameshi, 14 years old. His personality is rough and violent, short-tempered and reckless. On top of that, he has a bad attitude and is not very smart. He is a habitual offender of extortion, bullying, fighting, theft, arson, rape, murder, and so on, etc. etc. etc. It’s none of your business. He’s like a child of evil. Well, isn’t it good that he’s dead?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx56

The robber suddenly escalates.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx33

Did you even go as far as rape, Urameshi…?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Were you a habitual offender of rape and murder?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wasn’t a virgin.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

How many death sentences is that?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m 14 years old, okay? I’m in the second year of middle school!

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it a chameleon character?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it just about pachinko at most?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx37

It’s a collab, but…

Originally a delinquent, a lukewarm criminal.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Arson too, huh?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you committing murder? Huh? Seriously?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

This Urameshi Yusuke is labeled as a delinquent.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it just a rumor?

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Ahahaha, there’s no way Yusuke could do something like that!

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I feel like I used to gamble and smoke.

I realized I stopped smoking without noticing.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

But most mangas featuring yankees from this era had rape developments.

I often saw it in shoujo manga.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m glad I died.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This is worse than a delinquent; it’s a criminal.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t it just things like cigarettes and pachinko?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine because they both have feelings for each other, but Yukiko’s parents trying to set them up are pretty out there too…

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Worse than Caesar.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Robbery and shoplifting are both pretty trashy.

It’s a crime.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If it were Kuwahara, I would be like, “Would Kuwahara-san really do something like that besides fighting?!”

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is there such a thing as a habitual offender for murder?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Drinking, smoking, and pachinko can be excused as being the way of the times…

Extortion and shoplifting are unavoidable.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I save a boy who almost got hit by a car, that cancels everything out!

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

That’s evil! Isn’t it worse than Toguro?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m glad.

When I checked, it was a collab.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are hardly any Jump protagonists who commit as many crimes as Ryotsu.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s good to be like a child of the Yakuza.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

They don’t gather in groups to bully the weak, but it seems like they would kick the ass of someone who just happens to be around when they’re in a bad mood.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though there was a funeral attended by school officials, they came back to life and returned to school, but how did they publicly explain that?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was just that a truck happened to crash into me while I was kicking a child when I died.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I only shoplifted a little, and there's no blood or tears!

Zawa zawa, bata, now open. It seems that all the shoplifting at my middle school is attributed to me. Damn it, I’ve become famous in my hometown, and I can’t even enter the stores. This is tough for me. Anyway, me…

I only shoplifted a little, and there’s no blood or tears!

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I haven’t read Yu Yu Hakusho, but is the favorability from readers better than Killua’s?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

In shonen manga, the position of the mischievous yet straightforward delinquent boy is owned by Kuwahara, while Urameshi is a strong-style delinquent who doesn’t shy away from bullying the weak or shoplifting.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there were quite a few manga from the 90s where the protagonist’s crimes were overlooked.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bodyguard fee will be exorbitant.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you were committing murder, it would ruin the outcome of the doctor battle!

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I chose a serious righteous person, but things got really complicated.

This time I made them a fool and a villain.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

The depiction of the Uraimi family’s lower class in Volume 1 is truly compelling.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

On top of that, there’s the power of some crazy guy who rules over the demon world.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mom is quite a mystery.

What do you make a living from? Is it a snack bar?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

But Caesar committed all sorts of crimes other than murder…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

The rate of delinquents among the protagonists in jump manga was too high until just recently.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Jotaro is also a habitual offender of dining and dashing.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

The thread image is a collage, but the original was also a respectable delinquent that just didn’t fit in.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Caesar specifically mentions that he took out a part to say it’s complete.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I chased after a kid who shoplifted, the shoplifter got hit by a car, and the bookstore was criticized to the extent that it went out of business. There were so many idiots back then who would get worked up over something like shoplifting.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

What I found rare for a manga of this era is that the delinquent Yusuke is extremely unpopular.

General public absolutely dislikes it regardless of age or gender.

Completely disliked at school.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not that I’m a misfit who can’t adapt to student life.

He’s completely an outlaw, you know…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Going to a prestigious school doesn’t mean it’s a different world, as there were still cases of bullying for money happening normally in the town.

That department store is a hangout for students from that high school, so it’s dangerous.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reality only knows what is around itself.

In the past, the protagonists of manga often had a high delinquent rate, and there were quite a few people who admired them.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Caesar is now categorized as a national enemy…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shoplifting and drunk driving are not crimes in this era.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it normal for delinquents to be acknowledged by teachers and other students?

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it that they were isolated from delinquents and fought back against the yakuza?

Isn’t it a dangerous person when combined with theft?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve never seen a protagonist for whom rape is acceptable.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

I grew up in the countryside and went to a local rural high school, but Nakao-kun, who was always the class representative and studied well, became the kind of guy who bragged about shoplifting when I ran into him about six months after he transferred to a school in the city…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Only Kuwahara and Hotako are worried about Urame.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If it were the leftist movements during the student struggles, I could still understand it.

There has never been an era when delinquents were the object of admiration for regular students.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a tendency to treat shoplifting lightly, but I honestly don’t know of any trend where the media is actually endorsing it.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

The properly designed font collage…

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

The strict punishment for drunk driving came about quite a bit after the serialization of the thread image in the mid-1990s.

Well, it was a relaxed and easygoing time for everything.

At the company drinking party I attended for the first time, the senior guys were casually driving home.

Even after the severe punishment was enforced.

It’s meaningless to pretend that such a time never actually existed.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I look at old manga, it’s really interesting how different the culture is.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

The impression is that I punch anyone who annoys me, regardless of whether they are strong or weak.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. Takenaka, trembling before the memorial portrait of Yusuke…

Sounds good…

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

It felt like other magazines were slow to catch up with the trend of delinquent manga that was popular in the magazine sector…

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Underage drinking and smoking is depicted in the old manga Dr. Slump.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we’re talking about magazines, Kindaichi is quite the delinquent too, isn’t he?

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

However, I wonder why… I just don’t feel like praising at all…

It’s nice, isn’t it…?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it was just that if they wanted something, they would steal it, and if they got irritated, they would hit anyone.

Why am I becoming isolated…?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has the anime become quite mild?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

According to my mother, it was probably really bad around the time we met Kuwahara and the others…

I thought that face was seriously terrible back then, but now it’s different, right? Mom said that… ?

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

They start saying they’ll kidnap two or three humans.

I feel a similar vibe to Gon.

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even now, criminal acts weren’t considered so back in the day.

Shoplifting, dining and dashing, and lifting skirts.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Slam Dunk, there were gags depicting habitual offenders of dine-and-dash buying thousands of yen worth of shoes for just 10 yen or destroying cars while dozing off while driving.

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s cute to have a longing for delinquents.

Until around the early 1980s, it wasn’t uncommon to find fools who admired the Yakuza.

It’s a story from another country now.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

Conan, which started around the same time as Kindaichi Case Files, has a protagonist with exemplary behavior.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

Our local area was more or less seriously engaged in hunting for Bontan.

It was like a serious hostage situation and conflict!

I’ve also helped with the guy who stretches fishing line at the bottom of the hill to trip bikes.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Works from that time often depicted a delinquent society as something that was just naturally close to life, even if the protagonist was not a delinquent.

It’s almost like there are scenes where I get involved with delinquents.

So, it’s not that I’m a delinquent or anything like that, but I’m not being looked down upon.

The protagonist doesn’t win, but their best friend is at the top of the delinquents.

It depicted some kind of connection, didn’t it?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

Being a bit of a loser makes it easier to portray them as a relatable character and to showcase growth through the contrast.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, thirty years ago, drunk driving, shoplifting, and racing on mountain passes were all pretty lax.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Mama Yuusuke’s recollection, when Yuusuke was troubled, his face completely looked like that of a murderer…

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think your hometown was probably particularly unsafe even among places in Japan at that time.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might sound like a stretch because it’s so disconnected, but that’s really the vibe.

It was common to go home after randomly being extorted because I forgot my train fare.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Initial D and Wangan Midnight had everyone buying 86s and 911s to imitate, but that’s illegal.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking that Holy Land was a fantasy, but was Tokyo really like that back then?

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s undeniable that it was already obsolete by the time of Yu Yu Hakusho.

If you take into account that it’s in a manga, it would just barely be acceptable.

By the time of JoJo’s fourth part, it felt like they were seriously dealing with grave food even within the manga.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why do you want to carelessly deny something without knowing about that time?

I know you’re attention-seeking, but…

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think he’s much more of a delinquent than the protagonists in poorly made delinquent manga.

The family environment feels incredibly real.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you get caught for drinking and driving, the penalty points were about the same as a speeding violation, right?

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

1990 Yu Yu Hakusho

1999 Gachi◯ko Fight Club

At this time, Takehara is already…

“Recently, boxers who come from a rough background don’t make it anymore.”

“Of course, the one who has been practicing seriously is stronger, so don’t get it twisted.”

Because they were saying that…

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, extortion is quite common.

The senior is shaking down the junior for money.

The hell of that junior extorting from their classmates.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I was young, what was popular was the Shonan Bakusozoku…

169: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems that groping and peeping are still prevalent, so most shonen manga used to have plenty of jokes and tropes about it, but now even characters like Yokoshima-kun have a hard time getting re-animated.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

Many people seem to misunderstand, but both otaku and delinquents are weak “chiibu” (chubby nerds).

There is no definitive right or wrong on either side.

Both are crap, or rather the same.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

The current boxing world has really eradicated delinquents.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it easy to understand, like with street gangs?

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s probably just you guys who believed you were admired.

175: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It was better back in the day! I’m not saying that.

It was just that kind of era…

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

People from the era that was admired are probably in their fifties now…

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be just my subjective opinion, but I feel that the security has improved drastically since the release of Princess Mononoke.

181: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I think there’s no point in explaining the social situation at the time since you probably just want to respond contrarily.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reason Tough started is quite trivial, as it was because delinquent products were trending at the time.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bebop High School was seriously popular back then…

186: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Some wannabe delinquent who was feeling tough back then

It only looks like you’re writing that everyone was longing to justify themselves.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

Julio, oh Julio.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never said I admired you.

They say that in the 90s, delinquents were everywhere.
