Yu Yu Hakusho Live Action Gets New Trailer; Releasing on December 14

Dec. 6, 2023

Yu Yu Hakusho Live-Action Release Date

Netflix shared a glimpse of this live-action last month, which made us eagerly anticipate the release of a full-fledged trailer and the release of the TV show. And that day is finally here, as once again the Netflix staff has shared a glorious action- and demon-packed trailer today.

The trailer looks absolutely incredible even though the source material has been squeezed together within a five-episode TV show. But this has been happening to all sorts of live-action as condensing seems the only option to make it suitable for this medium. Nevertheless, the action scenes look dope with the surprisingly good visual effects. Looks like Netflix wants to recreate a new standard for live-actions following the One Piece live-action strategy.

The legendary mangaka (author) Togashi recently talked about theending of Hunter x Hunter, his most popular work, in a variety show. He also expressed his health issues and how it affects his line of work. Now I’m sure this live-action would have made him a bit happier amidst his ongoing health issues.

OG fans of the manga know very well about the plotline of the show. However, if you are new to it, here is how it goes:

Yusuke Urameshi was a tough teen delinquent until one selfless act changed his life…by ending it. When he died saving a little kid from a speeding car, the afterlife didn’t know what to do with him, so it gave him a second chance at life. Now, Yusuke is a ghost with a mission, performing good deeds at the beshest of Botan, the spirit guide of the dead, and Koenma, her pacifier-sucking boss from the “other side.” But what strange things await him on the borderline between life and death? – VIZ
