While Yu Yu Hakusho is known today as one of the best and most refined examples of a traditional battle shōnen series, that isn’t what it started out as. The first several arcs of the series were largely episodic affairs, featuring mysteries to be solved and individual people being troubled by demons who needed help.To serve the original premise of the series, the protagonist was a rebellious teenage boy who, after unexpectedly dying, was given the chance to return to life and solve cases on behalf of Spirit World. The hero of Yu Yu Hakusho, Yusuke Urameshi, is a Spirit Detective. What exactly is a Spirit Detective?The first Spirit Detective was Kuroko Sato. Kuroko began her career while in junior high, and by the time of the events of Yu Yu Hakusho, she was only 29, meaning that Spirit Detectives have only existed for approximately 15 years. After Kuroko retired, Shinobu Sensui was selected to be her replacement. Like Kuroko, he was a psychic prodigy, and possessed a strong sense of morality. Sensui eventually betrayed Spirit World, following his discovery of the Chapter Black tape, leaving the position of Spirit Detective open for several years. It was only filled once again when, after surprising Spirit World by sacrificing his life for a child, teenage delinquent Yusuke Urameshi was given the chance to prove his worth as a good person to Koenma and earn the right to return to life, proving himself worthy of being hired as a new Spirit Detective in the process.
