Chu

Chu is a character from Yu Yu Hakusho and is a minor character in AniCity. He appeared in the series alongside his ally Rinku to challenge the "great" Yusuke Urameshi, to see if he was strong enough to take on such a legendary hunter like Rando.

## Personality

Chu is a serious drunk, stumbling into the ring and attempting to fight. However, this is a ploy for him to reveal his true power. While drunk, he is rather cocky and also rather fond of the ladies (as seen by his flirting with Koto). Like Yusuke, he has a lust for battle and is willing to go to extremes to make the fight more interesting, such as his addition of the unorthodox "knife-edge death match." After being defeated by Yusuke, Chu expresses a desire to fight him again in a rematch, and later becomes a valuable ally and friend to his former enemy, due in large part to his fighting prowess and honorable nature. In a flashback, Chu is shown to be an all-around good guy as seen when he saved Rinku from some demon thugs sometime prior.

## Abilities & Weapons

### Fighting Style: Drunken Fist: Sui Ken

A type of fighting style where one's skills in hand-to-hand combat actually increase with the more alcohol he drinks. This is due to the fact that the more drunk the fighter is, the more unpredictable his movements and attacks become, making him a deadly opponent. Chu possesses extreme physical strength, especially in his fists and head, which was able to shatter a mountain. It is possible Chu uses his demon energy to enhance his strength in a manner similar to Yusuke's Spirit Punches, only focusing it on his head in his case. He is also rather fast, quickly punching Yusuke a few times while dodging some of the latter's attacks at the same time.

* Demon Alchemy

Although seemingly a drunkard, Chu's appetite for liquor is to mask the fact that his talent is being able to utilize the alcohol content of whatever he drinks into his bloodstream and converts it into his aura, empowering him and granting him vast access to outside reserves of energy. This is shown by example by him finishing his binge with drinking Ogre Killer, the most potent sake in the Demon Realm. Upon converting the alcohol in his bloodstream, Chu sobers up and his fighting power apparently increases a lot - visual evidences include his skin becoming tan-like dark and his mohawk hair turning from electric-blue to deep purple. In this powered-up state,

* Ogre Killer

Not to be confused with the drink, Chu mixes the alcohol of the same name with his demon energy in order to generate a ball of energy to use as an attack, akin to the Spirit Gun, only orange in color. Chu throws this blast, like a baseball pitcher throws a fastball, when he uses this technique. Although Chu seems to prefer hand-to-hand combat over this technique.

* Ogre Boulder

The size of the blast can be controlled, as well. He can drastically increase the size of the ball of energy, and increase its destructive power.

* Colossal Headbutt

Chu's last resort move is a colossal headbutt, which is not as strong as Yusuke's during the knife-edge death match.

## Relationships

### Yusuke Urameshi

Initially, Chu and Yusuke were simply competitors, but both gain tremendous respect for each other after witnessing the others' toughness and skill in their fight. This bond of friendship is formed after Yusuke spares Chu's life after their fight, and Chu sets beating Yusuke in the future as his goal. Even when he returns to the Demon World, he swears to him that he'll continue to train hard and looks forward to his next encounter with Urameshi.
