The eagerly awaited live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series will premiere on Netflix next week, and the full trailer is now available to whet your appetite. While the last teaser provided a first glimpse at the beloved characters from Yoshihiro Togashi’s blockbuster manga, this new trailer focuses on visual effects and action choreography.
Yu Yu Hakusho | Official Trailer
In the latest trailer of Yu Yu Hakusho, Yusuke begins training to be a Spirit Detective and gets his first assignment.
However, the trailer’s most iconic moment happens in the final few seconds, when Yusuke unleashes his famous Spirit Gun skill and creates an energy orb so strong that it melts the enemy’s face off.
The new series will cover the early arcs of the original manga and anime adaptations. Following Yusuke as he dies shielding a small child from being hit by a car, his first endeavors as a supernatural brawler are rather deadly.
Aside from obtaining some powerful friends, the promotional material stated that the Toguro brothers and their companions from the Dark Tournament Arc would be appearing.
If you’re unfamiliar with Yusuke Urameshi and his work as a Spirit Detective, here’s what Netflix presents in the upcoming live-action adaptation: “The manga revolves around Yusuke Urameshi, a junior high school student who dies in an accident while trying to protect a young child.
He is later granted a second shot at life as a Spirit Detective, entrusted with defending humanity from supernatural threats. As he struggles to accept the reality that he is looking down on his corpse, a woman named Botan, who introduces herself as a guide to the spirit world, tells him the unsettling truth: no one expected an outlaw like Yusuke to die carrying out an act of goodness, and he had no place in either heaven or hell.
As a result, Yusuke gets his life back, and after winning his trial, he becomes an Underworld Detective.
From there, Yusuke is drawn into a mystery that includes the human, demon, and spirit realms. Yusuke’s incredible trip will now be a Netflix live-action series.”
According to the trailer, the adaptation promises to honor the spirit of beloved manga. However, some aspects of the live-action story will most likely be handled differently by the showrunners.
However, we have outstanding action-packed fight scenes to look forward to and an engaging plot that explores concepts of life, death, and redemption.
