Character History
Yusuke started off as a typical middle school delinquent at the start of the series. He carries an apathetic attitude about life, not caring to attend class, or graduate middle school for that matter. A prankster of sorts that's always getting into street fights with kids from his school and neighboring ones. He's considered the strongest fighter around and everyone fears him for who he is except for Keiko. A childhood friend of his.
His first show of development is when he pushes a kid away from a speeding car. While the kid did survive (and would have regardless) Yusuke died in the process. It took a lot for Yusuke to be revived which ultimately relied on a close friend or family kissing him on the lips with the desire to bring him back. Namely Keiko.
Yusuke and Kuwabara are given a mission by Koenma to collect special items. In doing so they meet three demons. Two of which make a return later after their début. Least to say Yusuke had won these battles and some respect amongst his current comrades.
Koenma dubs Yusuke as a spirit detective with his newly awaken powers as sort of pay back for reviving him. It was then when Yusuke was referred to Genkai where he could receive special training to become stronger. With Kuwabara, the two advanced and entered a competition to see who was worth enough to train with Genkai. Toward the end Kuwabara lost and Yusuke was forced to draw power to save Kuwabara from certain death, thus earning him a win and several months of training.
A new trouble emerged around this time. Four beast gods took it upon themselves to stir up trouble. It was then when Keiko's life was in danger, and one the four beast gods specifically targeted her. Kurama and Hiei ally with Yusuke and Kuwabara on a mission to defeat these gods and restore order to the world once more. It wasn't until the last god, Suzaku, that Yusuke finally fights. In doing this, he is faced with Keiko's possible demise before he's pushed over the edge and annihilate Suzaku completely in order to save her life.
Order was restored and things were peaceful enough until Koenma presents Yusuke with another mission. This time to save a woman from a rich man and his henchman. Yukina. Kuwabara insist on coming along even thought he doesn't have to. The two boys and Botan head for the mansion in the attempt to save Yukina. In this they had to defeat low-class demons and some stronger ones. It wasn't until Toguro that he and Kuwabara actually had real trouble. It was Toguro that enlightened them of how weak they really were. It was by some miracle that the two heroes won the fight, and saved Yukina. Some days later while Yusuke was out and about, he encountered Toguro a second time. The first time he saw him only 20% of his power was displayed. Toguro then demonstrates 60% of his power and threatens Yusuke to join the Dark Tournaments or everyone he cares for will be killed.
Yusuke and his friends train for two months until the tournaments begin. On their boat ride their, only time team could survive. That was Team Urameshi's. Yusuke brings a mysterious fifth member needed in order to compete which leaves some of the team skeptical. It was around this time, that Yusuke passes out from all his hard training to only awaken when he was next to fight. That being his battle against Chu, the leader Team Rikkuyukai who specializes in drunken-style fighting. Inevitably, Yusuke is deemed the winner and his team moves on. They are given a day of rest before their next fight.
Team Urameshi's next opponents are Dr. Ichigaki Team, a crazy doctor with experiments for fighters. Kurama and Hiei are left distracted leaving Kuwabara and Yusuke to fight on their own against the team. Kuwabara, being naturally sensitive figures out that the men are beginning controlled against their will and asks Yusuke not to kill them. The two become corner and the mysterious masked fighter is forced to take a hit for Yusuke. The masked fighter is revealed to be a young women with pink hair. The girl then eventually frees the men of their imprisonment forcing the doctor to fight for himself. A battle which Yusuke is cornered into fighting. He of course wins, and their team moves on. They immediately move to the next round in a back-to-back fight with no resting period.
Team Masho becomes their next opponents. They are cloaked with hidden identities. With most of the team rendered useless, they are forced to fight to the brink of their extent to win each fight. Kurama is then falls unconscious and loses the fight. The next fight being Jin vs. Yusuke. Though admittedly their fight isn't as serious as Jin only seems to fight for fun. After their battle Kuwabara is up next and he doesn't appear to win. It wasn't until Yukina, his crush, shows up that he gathers enough strength and determination to take his foe down and win the fight. Their team wins and they move on, and they are provided with a break. The girl mentions what a fool Yusuke is and claims that she can do better. She lures him to a cave while the others recover where she reveals her true identity as Genkai.
Genkai draws out an orb from her body. Saying that is her time to pass on her teachings to her Yusuke, but with a catch. If Yusuke's body cannot accept this power, it will likely kill him before he accepts. He is then given the orb which his bodies absorbs where he endures unbearable amounts of pain. Mean while the rest of his team does their own business. That being fighting the next round. Without Yusuke and the masked fighter, the rest of the team is forced to continue the tournament without them. Hiei and Kurama being the first two to go in their own battles. Kuwabara is next to fight, where his opponent is actually cheating, however. The host sees nothing wrong with this and Kuwabara is forced to continue on with the way things are. He wins. Genkai returns and it is her turn to fight. Genkai wins the fight against Suzuka and is victorious. It was around this time Yusuke recovers from the orb and is born with a new-found power. Team Urameshi claiming a spot in the finals.
Yusuke returns during the battle of Genkai and Toguro in which he sees Genkai killed by the hands over her old friend. This enrages Yusuke and he becomes bent that none of his friends will fall victim to his enemies again. His adrenaline does not last long before he grieves over his teacher's death along with the rest of his friends.
Team Urameshi finally faces against Team Toguro and the first to go is Kurama vs. Karasu. Kurama's only hope of victory falls dependent on him drawing his full-fledge demon half. Kurama succeeds and Karasu becomes overwhelmed, after a few complications Kurama stands victorious. Next Hiei faces Bui. Hiei is quick to summon the dragon of darkness which proves useless against Bui. Hiei claims victory of the battle in Bui's defeat. Kuwabara is last to learn of Genkai's death at this time before his fight with Toguro's older brother. He becomes enraged about this. Not to mention all attempts to defeat Elder Toguro are in vain. Elder Toguro eventually loses. Next is Yusuke's battle against Younger Toguro. The time for revenge begins now. Even with the power inherited from Genkai, Yusuke is still too weak to defeat the demon. Toguro unleashes all 100% of his power and Yusuke's chances of winning seem to dwindle. Yusuke removes his spirit cuffs, a potentially different attempt to wind, but all attempts still aren't enough. Toguro still holds a seeming victory in this match.
Toguro is determined to draw out all of Yusuke's powers, and in doing so a friend would have to be sacrificed. It was when Genkai possessed Buu that she relays to Toguro that it would have to happen. This pisses Yusuke off, but Genkai counteracts that this was the harsh reality he would have to accept if he isn't strong enough to keep what he wants. Thus, Kuwabara is targeted and killed awakening Yusuke's full potential.
