Yu Yu Hakusho Ghostfiles - Rescue Yukina 2002 Horror Movie Review

WARNING! This review may contain spoilers for episodes 1-21. If you do not wish to be spoiled then stop reading and check out these awesome episodes first! Okay, now on to the review!


Yusuke and the gang have finally defeated the deadly Four Saint Beasts in Demon World and restored humanity to normal. Now Yusuke can finally take that much needed vacation of his, right? Wrong!


Koenma sends Hiei to deliver a mysterious unmarked VHS tape to Yusuke informing him of his next big case; and this one’s even more dangerous than his last mission!


An ice apparation named Yukina has been kidnapped and is being held prisoner by the greedy human crime lord Tarukane who wants the precious jewels created from her tears to get rich! Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan set off for Tarukane’s stronghold to rescue Yukina. But why isn’t Hiei allowed to know? And what will happen when Yusuke and Kuwabara come face to face with Tarukane’s new bodyguards—-The Toguro Brothers!


Overall, this DVD isn’t bad at all. The fights are very interesting and surprisingly very funny too and the climatic final fight between Yusuke and Kuwabara and the Toguro Brothers will keep fans on the edge of their seats till the very end! The humour is top-notch, classic YYH humour! There were a few parts in this DVD that really had me cracking up! And for all you Hiei fans, let’s just say ep. 25 is especially good! ;)


My only grip about this disc is the severe lack of Kurama! He definitely needs more screen time! It kind of felt like the writers kept him out of most of the story deliberately in order to give Yusuke and Kuwabara more character development/screentime. But, there is a really cute moment between Hiei and Kurama in the last episode (of this disc) in which many rabid, crazy yaoi fangirls will find inspiration for their very interesting fanfics. *lol*


The four episodes on this DVD are episodes 22-25:


Lamenting Beauty

The Toguro Brothers Gang

The Deadly Triad

Kuwabara’s Fight of Love


I really enjoyed watching this DVD! The humor is excellent and the fights bloody and exciting and the conclusion is very cool too! I definitely recommend it to any YYH fan who wants to collect the whole series! It is definitely worth the price! So what are you waiting for? Get on over to your local Sam Goody, Suncoast, fye, or wherever and buy this enjoyable DVD! You won’t be disappointed! ;)
