Yusuke Urameshi is a character from Yu Yu Hakusho and is a main character in AniCity. Originally just an uncontrollable teenage delinquent/street fighter with little to no positive qualities, by a twist of fate, he became a Spirit Detective, a Psychic charged by Spirit World who is tasked with protecting the Human World from various supernatural threats. Over the course of the series, he starts becoming a better person, changing into an almost altruistic defender of the Human World.

## Personality

Having a no-show for a father and with his mother always off somewhere else, growing up in a very neglectful environment left Yusuke short-tempered, impulsive, merciless and likes to intimidate those who are afraid of him. Underneath his bold, cocky attitude though, he has a joking and kind nature. Yusuke has also had the bad luck of having to deal with so many cruel and despicable people at such a young age.

One of his most notable traits is his desire to fight, which becomes more noticeable as the series progresses. Yusuke has been noted on many occasions to be rather unintelligent, and, at times, just plain stupid. However, as many have noted, he can be a genius at fighting. Yusuke's desire to fight is more out of enjoyment of a good brawl, and surprisingly Yusuke doesn't like killing if he can avoid it. Another prominent trait of Yusuke's psyche is his sense of justice, as he doesn't tolerate those who wish to do harm to others for “fun” and always has a firm resolve to capture or even beat them for the sake of doing the right thing.

Even though Yusuke is feared by most students and severely disliked by almost all of the teachers, he is generally misunderstood. Those who’ve known him since his childhood are some of the very few who knows Yusuke is actually very kind, and she sympathizes with his problems in life. This also makes him very protective of his friends, and can even sometimes make him mildly vengeful, often taking great pleasure in pummeling any enemy that tortures his friends.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Spirit-Gun

The Spirit Gun was originally given to him by Spirit World to fight off demons as required during his cases, but later becomes his signature move. Yusuke concentrates his Spirit Energy into his right index finger and releases it as a projectile. After channeling his energy, he pulls the trigger in his mind when he wants to fire the "bullet." The blast can range in size from a small shot (at this point it was only twice as strong as his punch), to a full-sized cannon blast, to a near atomic-explosion, though he can deliberately weaken his gun so that it merely stuns the opponent rather than kill them. However, Yusuke can only fire it a limited number of times per day, only able to use it four times. But while the number of bullets doesn't increase in the series, the strength of the individual bullets did.

* Spirit Shotgun

Yusuke gathers spirit energy into his fist to form a large blast of spirit energy from it to shoot out in less powerful but many blasts. While the technique is not as powerful as the Spirit Gun, a few advantages it has is that the shots are widespread, which makes it highly effective against quick or invisible opponents or large numbers of weak enemies.

* Spirit Punch

Though primarily a long distance fighter, in close combat, Yusuke is able to infuse parts of his body with Spirit Energy in an effort to enhance his ability in physical combat, especially his punches. The coating of spirit energy around his hands also can serve as a barrier to defend against projectile attacks.

## Relationships

### Minako Aino

Mina is Yusuke's childhood friend, growing up and studying together in the same school since they were kids. In many ways, Mina is Yusuke's polar opposite, being sweet and calm, but sometimes she gets angry.

### Sally Acorn

While Sally is as much one of Yusuke's (few) childhood friends as Mina, their dynamic is very different. While Mina is a lot more patient with Yusuke, Sally is a lot more aggressive towards him. She often scolds him for his bad attitude like skipping classes and being absent for many times, but this is mostly just because she just wants what's best for him.

## Notes

Yusuke's role in this series essentially meant to be the Guy Gardner or Hawkeye of the main cast: the brash, abrasive and stubborn jerk that gets into fights with both his friends and enemies and doesn't take anybody's crap.

Yusuke’s story in this series starts up after the six months he spent training after Genkai's Tournament (episode 9 to 13 of the original show), with season 1 beginning/taking the place of The Beasts of Maze Castle arc (episodes 14 to 21 of the original show), whose events don’t occur in the series at all. This is mostly to give him as much power as he needs to but not too much to make him feel too overpowered compared to the rest of the main cast.
