Spirit World Dictionary
Source: From the Booklet of the Yu Yu Hakusho Blu-ray (2009)
T/N: I added a few images and GIFs to illustrate some of the words and also the original kanji in case anyone is interested.

【The Three Great Treasures of Darkness】 (闇の三大秘宝): King Emma Daiou's favorite collection. They were stored in the Spirit World’s Great Hall of Treasures (Reikai Daihihokan), but were stolen by Gouki, Kurama and Hiei:

2. The Dark Tournament Arc (Ankoku Bujutsukai Hen, 暗黒武術会編)
【Dark Tournament】 (Ankoku Bujutsukai, 暗黒武術): A dark martial arts tournament sponsored by the BBC. Millionaires and powerful people, who act behind the scenes, let five youkai, proud of being the strongest, compete in the tournament. In some cases, humans are invited as guests, but if they refuse to participate, their lives will be targeted. Instead, the winner can fulfill any wish. The venue is The Hanging Neck Island (Kubikuku Shima, 首縊島).
【Teams participating in the Dark Tournament】
● Uraotogi Team (裏御伽): The five names are: Suzuki, Kuromomotaro, Shishiwakamaru, Uraurashima and Makintaro. They claimed to be born from the grudges of unfortunate characters in fairy tales, but other than Suzuki and Shishiwakamaru, the rest of the members were just Phantom Beasts (Genmajuu, 幻魔獣) to be used as sacrifices. Urameshi Team's opponent in the semi-finals.
● Kido Sentai Team (鬼道戦隊): The players Matennou (魔天王) and Kimeiou (奇冥王) belong to the team. They made it to the top eight, but were defeated by the Gorenja Team.

He planted the "blood-manipulating lump" in the human fighters - En, Kai and Ryo - and manipulated them as M-1, M-2 and M-3. M-4 and M-5, two youkai who attacked Kurama and Hiei, are also members of the team. The second round opponent of the Urameshi Team.
● Makai Kyousenshi Team (魔界狂戦士): A 6-member team consisting of Topaz, Dosukoi, Gorira, Babaki, Gagaki and Rugby. Rugby was executed by Topaz before the match and the remaining members were killed in the match by Younger Toguro.

Ruka, who restrained Hiei and Genkai, is also one of the members. The owner is BBC's Butajiri. They were the opponent of Urameshi Team in the third round.
● Rokuyuukai Team (六遊怪): BBC's Sukezo Gondahara found these youkai in the downtown area of the Human World. The six members are: Chu, Zeru, Roto, Rinku, Imajin and Gaou. Imajin and Gaou were killed by Chu, who was a substitute. The first opponent of the Urameshi Team.
【Blood-manipulating lump】 (Souketsuryuu, 操血瘤): A biological weapon created by Dr. Ichigaki. It sticks to the subject's back, manipulating their blood flow to control their personality.
【Dark item】 (闇アイテム): Magic tools made by Suzuki of the Uraotogi Team. Each item matches the nature of the members:
● Kibi Dango (奇美団子): An exclusive item for Kuromomotaro. When used by Kuromomotaro, whose body remembers the enemy's attack power, it gives his body a defense power that can withstand the damage and more offensive power. He can use up to three kibidango in a single battle and the enhanced states are, respectively, called:
- "Armor of the Demon Monkey” (魔猿の装);
- “Armor of the Demon Pheasant” (魔雉の装);
- "Armor of the Demon Dog” (魔犬の装).
● Reverse Tamatebako (逆玉手箱): Used by Uraurashima. Contrary to the Tamatebako from the folklore, it emits a smoke that rejuvenates everyone except the user.
● Hagoromo of Death (死出の羽衣): Used by Shishiwakamaru. A cloth filled with demon power blocks the space and creates an entrance to another world. Those who enter are transported to a place unknown even to the user.
● Fruit of the Previous Life (前世の実): The pulp of the "Tokitadare Flower" (トキタダレの花) recently discovered in the Demon World. Drinking the extracted liquid will temporarily rejuvenate the body. It is the raw material for the smoke in the "Reverse Tamatebako".
● Trial Sword (試しの剣): The phantasmagorical demon sword that Suzuki gave to Kuwabara. It is made of "leech cedar" (ヒル杉) that grows by absorbing the energy of the wielder and changes its shape depending on the nature of the user's energy. The Banshee Shriek Sword was also a variation of this sword.
● Banshee Shriek Sword (Makokumeizan-ken, 魔哭鳴斬剣): Used by Shishiwakamaru. A dark item that combines a demon flute, which emits the cursed cries of unleashed evil grudges, and a sword that resonates with it. The amplified cries are delivered as a shockwave.
【Spirit Wave Orb】 (Reikou Gyoku, 霊光玉): A sphere of energy that condenses spirit energy to the utmost limit. It has been passed down from generation to generation by the masters of the Reikou Hadouken (霊光波動拳). It has energy comparable to that of a small star. The successor will have their nature questioned by their own mind and body, and if they do not have the calibre to accept the energy, their body will be destroyed.
Part 2
Important words selected from the latter half of the series: "The Black Chapter Edition" and "The 3 Kings Edition".
3. The Black Chapter Arc (Makai no Tobira Hen, 魔界の扉編)
【S-class youkai】 (S級妖怪): In the Spirit World, the strength of the youkai is classified into five levels: S, A, B, C and D. The S-class refers to the rank of youkai that cannot be controlled by the power of the Spirit World. However, since it is a classification established by the Spirit World, there is a wide range of ranks, even within the S-class. Furthermore, even a big wheel as Toguro was only B-class, while Sensui had S-class power although he was human being.
【Energy Gun】 (Kikou-juu, 気硬銃): A gun built into Sensui's right arm. Only Kazuya, one of Sensui's personalities, can used it.
【Sacred Energy Armor】 (Kikoutoi, 気鋼闘衣): An armor that has been materialized by increasing the sacred light energy (seikouki, 聖光気). The principle is the same as that of Youko Kurama's White Devil Clothing (白魔装束), but the level is said to be different. It is also possible to change from a defensive to an offensive armor.
【Black Chapter】 (Kuro no Shou, 黒の章): A top secret video tape stored in the Spirit World. Tens of thousands of hours of the most cruel and atrocious crimes committed by humans have been recorded in this tape. A normal person can change their view of humanity in only five minutes.
【Game Battler】 (ゲームバトラー): A video game in which you fight against the Goblin King, a master of all kinds of games, including sports, fighting, quiz and puzzles. The game begins with battles against the Sports Goblin, Shooting Goblin and so on. Once they are defeated, the game moves on to the boss, the Goblin King. You’ll clear the game if you win four out of seven battles.
【Barrier】 (Kekkai, 結界): The Spirit World has set up a boundary between the Human World and the Demon World. The barrier is there to prevent S-class and A-class youkai from invading the Human World, but B-class and lower class youkai can pass through.
【Dimensional Sword】 (Jigentou, 次元刀): "Ability" expressed in Kuwabara. Unlike the spirit sword he had so far, this one has the power to cut through any space. This is the "ability" that Sensui was looking for in order to destroy the Spirit World’s barrier.
【Territory】 (領域): The effective range covered by a person with "ability". The "territory” is completely controlled by the “ability”, thus depending on the rules, weapons may also be restricted. The size of the "territory" depends on the "ability".
【Sacred Energy】 (Seikouki, 聖光気): The ultimate fighting spirit that even Genkai couldn't obtain. However, Sensui had mastered it in less than 10 years.
【Sensui's personalities】 (仙水の人格): Sensui's personalities were created through his endless struggles. In the series, it’s revealed the existences of:
- The main character Shinobu;
- The logical and talkative Minoru;
- The mad murderer Kazuya;
- The crybaby female personality Naru;
The other three personalities were revealed in the serialized magazine "Weekly Shounen Jump": George, the weapon merchant; Makoto, who is in charge of cooking, washing and cleaning; and Hitoshi, the animal caretaker.
【Ability】 (能力): Special abilities that have been revealed in humans under the influence of the Demon World’s Hole. The power is manifested within the "territory" centered on the person with the ability.
【Makai’s Hole】 (Makai no Ana, 魔界の穴): A hole that connects the Human World and the Demon World, also known as the "Boundary Tunnel" (界境トンネル). Sakyo was trying to open it with the winning prize of the Dark Tournament and Sensui inherited the plan. It is shown in the following four stages based on its impact on the Human World:
- First stage: The miasma in the Human World becomes stronger and the number of lower creatures from the Demon World will increase.
- Second stage: People with special abilities will appear among the humans.
- Third stage: D-class or lower youkai will also come into being in the Human World.
- Final stage: B-class and lower youkai will be able to freely enter and exit the Human World.
【The Great Atavism of the Mazoku】 (Mazoku Daikakusei, 魔族大隔世): This can only be performed by A-class or higher class youkai. By mating with humans, the mazoku gene can be intentionally passed on to their descendants of many generations later. It’s an extreme form of "atavism" in which the genetic information of grandparents is transmitted to grandchildren one generation apart.
【Mafuukan】 (魔封環): A spell that Koenma has been saving to suppress the Dark Period that will arrive hundreds of years later. The technique consists in creating a barrier through the release of the reiki (spirit energy) stored in his pacifier for hundreds of years. It is placed as the strongest defensive spell that exists in the Spirit World. Although it has the power to restrain even S-class youkai, it did not work on Sensui, who uses the sacred energy.
【Mushiyori City】 (轟寄市): A town located within a stone's throw of Sarayashiki City. A hole to the Demon World was opened in the Irima Cave (入魔洞窟), in the suburbs of the city. As a result of the hole’s influence, "people with abilities" appeared one after another.
【Yaminade】 (闇撫): They are one of the few species of youkai to have a "shadow hand" (影ノ手) that can move freely between dimensions and make lower-class youkai from other dimensions their servants.
【Four-dimensional Mansion】 (Yojigen Yashiki, 四次元屋敷): The mansion where Kido and his friends abducted Yusuke. Doors are installed at three places in the corridor and there are seven staircases to the second floor, making it a strange structure. In the original manga, it was said to have been built by an unknown artist.
【Spirit World Special Defense Force】 (霊界特別防衛隊): This is the troop of the Spirit World, feared and known by the youkai under the name of "hunter". Their mission is to patrol the Demon World (area controlled by the Spirit World) and exterminate youkai to expand the controlled area. If a youkai that has grown up in the Human World has A-class or higher power and is judged to be harmful to humans by the Spirit World, it may be eliminated. The captain is Otake.
【The Seven Spirit Detective Tools】 (霊界探偵七つ道具): Two more new items have appeared in this arc:
● Itako Whistle (イタコ笛): A whistle that emits sound waves that cannot be heard by ordinary humans. The higher the spiritual power of the blower is, the wider the sound reaches.
● Mejiru Seal (Mejirushi Ichiru, 目印一る): A sticker that informs through colors the physical condition of the applier. It can only be peeled off by the person who applied it. Contains 100 sheets.
● Youkai Meter (妖気計): It has become even more sophisticated and can detect any youkai. It can also indicate the distance and direction of the person you are looking for by inserting their hair and nails.
【Resshuu-ken】 (裂蹴拳): This is a footwork-based martial art that Sensui (Minoru) has mastered. The upper body is dedicated to defense while destructive leg kicks are used to crush the enemy. It is said to be the strongest martial arts in history, with the requirement of mastering all kinds of martial arts in order to learn it. In addition, Sensui has created his own unique method called "Reikou Resshuuken" (霊光裂蹴拳) which is a mixture of the Reshuu-ken and spiritual power.
4. The 3 Kings Arc (Makai Hen, 魔界編)
【Mobile Fortress Mukade】 (移動要塞・百足): Mukuro’s castle (kyojou, 居城). After the tournament, it was used for patrols to protect humans who wandered in the Demon World.
【Kudakusushi】 (食脱医師): A sorcerer who existed 700 years ago. They ate the carrion of dead humans who died of illness to create immunity in their bodies, and gave their own blood and flesh as medicine to those suffering from the same disease.
【Ice Woman】 (Koorime, 氷女): A clan of youkai who lives in a glacier country covered with thick clouds, avoiding interaction with the lower world. They give birth to a girl alone every hundred years during the division period. However, if they mate with a different race, a boy will be born and they are feared as an "abominable child" (imiko, 忌み子) who would bring misfortune.
【Makai City Gandara】 (魔界都市 ・ 癌陀羅): The capital city of Yomi’s country. Like cities in the Human World, skyscrapers are lined up and computer-like equipment is also used for military conferences.
【Organic Device】 (有機装置): It was used by Hokushin, an S-class youkai, to visit the Human World. When it is put on the chest, the youkai's power drops to D-class, allowing them to pass through the barrier that S-class and A-class youkai cannot.
【Demon Power Measuring Machine】 (妖力測定機): A machine that measures demon power and spirit power. It was used by Yomi’s camp to analyze military power. It is also compatible with S-class youkai, but the demon power of Enki’s group, Raizen's old friends, was too high to be measured.
【Rurimaru】 (瑠璃丸): The national jewel of Raizen’s country. Yusuke carved names on it, in an attempt to use it for the tournament draw.

Note
Was the slasher genre big in Japan?
No, not really. With a few exceptions Japanese cinema was in the toilet from the mid 70s through til the mid 90s so they missed that window of 78-85 when all of the good stuff came out in the US. [Even Akira Kurosawa’s films in this period aren’t really Japanese if you look at where the money comes from; they’re American, Russian and French. Same goes for Nagisa Oshima (French and British)].
From 1986 you had the Japanese bubble economy for a short while and so there was a sudden influx of independent upstarts putting out one or two movies for video in hopes of making some cash and then disappearing. That’s how you get kinda-slasher gore films like Biotherapy, Guzoo, Cyclops, Gakidama, but they’re all far from feature length. Evil Dead Trap is the only feature length slasher film from Japan that can stand with the rest of the world’s output.Late 80s, early 90s the bigger studios started putting their might behind video, but it was too late for the slasher boom by then. Japan just missed it because of a variety of economic reasons and trends.

Some good news: Both of those horror shorts I mentioned (plus others he had uploaded) were part of the "Nether Horror Collection" (the one with the phone booth is called Burp!, and the one with the barmaid is called Bloody Mary). Sadly, the only other upload containing these shorts is a low-quality VHS rip of the entire collection.
As for the V-cinema, @sagelylegs found Conton (with english subtitles!), and I was able to find a recent upload of Gakidama with english subs. No subtitled Guzoo, though. I found the Alex Chandon shorts he had elsewhere (Drillbit, Bad Karma, and Chainsaw Scumfuck), but there's still a short I'm missing, and I don't have the exact title (pretty sure the word "blutgreit" (sp?) was in it). It had to do with police, and either zombies, or cannibals.
At least I seem to always be finding obscure horror films/shorts I've never heard of before.
A Youtube channel I love keeps getting hit, and his videos deleted. The thing is, he had a lot of great, obscure horror content, and now I don’t even have the names of any of it to seek out on my own. The channel is “DEVILMAN666”, but I don’t want to bother him by asking for the names of anything he had posted before.
Like, there was a great short horror film with a man-eating phone booth that a prostitute barely escapes from, and one where this big dude goes into a bar, and is intimidating the little lady bartender, until he sees some blood and faints, and then the lady turns out to be a vampire, and (presumably) feeds on him (it fades to black after seeing her fangs).
He also had uploads of rare Japanese V-cinema like Conton (aka Jushin Densetsu), Guzoo: The Thing Forsaken by God, and Biotherapy. I never even got to watch Conton before it got yanked…
I mean, I get that there are copyright laws, but some of this stuff is incredibly hard to find, even to buy.

Yusuke's Personal History
Source: Yu Yu Hakusho Official Character Book Reikai Shinshiroku, pp.12-13, 2005.
Links to: Kurama’s Personal History and Hiei’s Personal History
Yusuke Urameshi - Personal History
Yusuke Urameshi was just a delinquent boy, like any other we see anywhere. However, after he died in an accident and met Botan and Koenma, various fortunes and life were waiting for him...
1. Raizen goes to the Human World
700 years ago, the Kamakura Period¹ was filled with chimimouryou². Raizen, who was moving wildly as a jikininki³ at that time, met a certain “food doctor” (kudakusushi), it was love at first sight. He spent the night wooing her and made a pact...Raizen returned to the Demon World and the kudakusushi woman gave birth to a child. Raizen and the kudakusushi never met again, but Yusuke Urameshi was born 44 generations after that child was born.
Photo caption: ➡ The kudakusushi woman is said to have been one of the best of esoteric Buddhism practitioners. The guts to not fear even the jikininki, has it been passed on to Yusuke as well?
Translator Notes:
¹ Kamakura Period (鎌倉時代): the period from 1192 to 1333, known for the emergence of the samurai, the warrior caste, and for the establishment of feudalism in Japan.
² Chimimouryou (魑魅魍魎): demons of the mountains and rivers;
³ Jikininki (時食人): human-eating demon. Youkai who eat human corpses, the type of demon which Raizen belongs to.
* Kudakusushi (食脱医師): this name was created by Togashi. As Raizen explained in the series, the “kudakusushi” were like doctors who eat the flesh of humans who died from illness in order to create antibodies and cure the infected.
2. Yusuke becomes a spirit detective!
In order to save a boy from being hit by a car, Yusuke died in his place. However, he was informed that the boy wouldn’t actually die without his help. He wandered as a spirit for a while in order to be resurrected as a special case. After somehow being resurrected, he was appointed by Koenma as a spirit detective (against his will) and spent his days exterminating youkai who were committing evil deeds in the Human World.
Photo caption: ⬅ As a spirit detective, Yusuke uses various items to solve difficult problems caused by evil youkai.
3. Encounter with Hiei and Kurama
During his activities as a spirit detective, Yusuke encounters youkai thieves who have stolen the three Artifacts of Darkness. After defeating Gouki and obtaining the Orb of Baast (gakidama), he confronts Kurama, who carries the Mirror of Darkness. After understanding Kurama's true intentions, Yusuke cooperates with him, releasing the power of the mirror. The only remaining treasure is Hiei’s Shadow Sword (kōma no ken). Yusuke struggles in the battle with Hiei, but wins with Kurama's help. From this encounter, the bond between the three begins.
Photo caption:
⬆ Yusuke didn't sense the evil intention peculiar to youkai in Kurama.The first meeting with a future encouraging friend.
⬇ Hiei was trying to hurt Keiko and transform her into a youkai. Fighting alongside Kurama, Yusuke managed to arrest him.
4. Genkai’s Apprentice
As part of his work as a spirit detective, Yusuke infiltrates Genkai's Disciple Selection Meeting in order to find Rando, a youkai. As he overcomes the challenges posed by Genkai, Yusuke advances to the final round of the tournament. The opponent of the final match is Rando, the one he was looking for. He was also angry that Rando hurt Kuwabara more than necessary and managed to win! He becomes Genkai’s apprentice for about half a month in order to master the Spirit Wave (reihadou)...
Photo caption: ⬅ Yusuke had a long-term relationship with Master Genkai. Without her, Yusuke’s growth wouldn't happen.
Note: I don’t know if it was due to some anime dubs, but I’ve heard people saying that Yusuke trained with Genkai for six months, a year etc...What is stated in the manga: the first time Yusuke trained with Genkai, it was for 15 days (half a month like is written in the databook); the second time, after Toguro’s invitation, Yusuke asked Genkai to be trained for the next 2 months.
5. Showdown, the Toguro Brothers
With the help of Kurama and the others, Yusuke defeats the Four Saint Beasts, who were trying to invade the Human World, and saves Yukina from Tarukane, a gaudy rich man. It seemed that the peaceful days had returned, however, the Toguro brothers, who were working as Tarukane's bodyguards, summoned them to be the guests at the Dark Tournament. They joined the tournament as the Urameshi Team, and despite the struggle, he managed to win the championship.
Photo caption: ⬆ The final against Younger Toguro, who killed Yusuke's friend with his own hands, just so Yusuke could show his strength!
6. Fight with the former spirit detective
Sakyo, the mastermind behind the Dark Tournament, was trying to connect the Demon World and the Human World through a tunnel. Following Sakyo’s will, Sensui, the former spirit detective, stands in Yusuke and his friends way. They defeat Kamiya and the others, who have acquired the ability of "territory" due to the interference of the Demon World, and finally chase Sensui down. However, Yusuke has his heart punched by Sensui and dies...
Photo caption: ⬅ In the battle with Sensui, something sleeping in Yusuke’s blood awakens! The story takes a new turn.
7. Enthroned as the king of a small country in the Demon World
After being resurrected by the Great Atavism of the Mazoku, Yusuke defeats Sensui and leads his life in the country where his mazoku father, Raizen, lives. And then, King Raizen dies...In order to create a breath of fresh air in a messed Makai, Yusuke proposes to hold a Unification Tournament to decide the king of the Demon World. With this proposal, the Demon World’s nations are dismantled and a king named Enki is decided. After losing the tournament, Yusuke returns to the Human World.
Photo caption: ➡ Three kings reign over the Demon World. But besides them, there were other fierce warriors living as hermits!?

Note
ayyy, so like, can you recommend any films that have a similar vibrant style to Evil Dead Trap?
Sure! I’m mostly recommending these as they all come from the same period and have that dark splattery approach. There was definitely a specific late 80s / early 90s Japanese horror style. There’s also Evil Dead Trap 2 and 3, but I haven’t seen those.
Battle Girl: The Living Dead in Tokyo Bay
Conton
Gakidama
Cyclops
Guzoo
If you’re after something more similar to Evil Dead Trap tonally though you’ve got to go Italian horror. The director Toshiharu Ikeda claims never to have seen an Italian horror movie, but I don’t buy it.
City of the Living Dead
Phenomena (I don’t like it much but it’s tonally similar)
Stagefright
Opera
Deep Red
The Beyond
