I really do not understand the decisions made for YYH anime. Like in CB arc, Hiei easily dispatched of Hagiri. Hagiri wasn't even able to shoot at him. Hiei easily stabbed him with no explanations if he did it fatally or not. Also, Hiei's sword got bloody from a backstab.

In any case, I think Kamiya, Amanuma and Hagiri were always meant to be killed by the main characters. That's a human kill from Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei. Enough reason for reikai to persecute them after CB arc, leading them to makai with better reasoning. But Jump slapped Togashi's hand to not make YYH "heroes" too dark and to lessen how bad Sensui had gotten because he's meant to be a villain to "sympathize" with.

If these characters were killed without reviving them, the demon trio will have more emotional baggage in makai arc, or at least Kurama and Yusuke will. That will also explain better how Yusuke was able to just see humans as food supply while talking with Hokushin and eventually talk about forcing Raizen to eat people he kidnapped himself.

Togashi wanted to deconstruct these characters and flesh them out but he wasn't allowed to so maybe in CB arc, only Mitarai and Itsuki were meant to survive from Sensui's side.

Mitarai: “Wait for me!! Or.. is it too late to come with you guys…”

Kurama: “It’s never too late to reform one’s ways—trust me.”

The former ruthless king of thieves definitely knows what he’s talking about, re: redemption.

I'm horribly late for Christmas, but I couldn't not post something! I've drawn Hagiri and Mitarai for a Secret Santa, which made me really happy because I love them!

Koenma: Chapter Black is a one-sided argument. It's part of a set, never meant to be seen alone.

That's an interesting take in English dub (in subtitles Koenma only says that Mitarai was brainwashed with the tape).

How many times we hear - both in fiction and in real life - that humans are bastards and real monsters? How often we are likened to viruses? How many bad guys want to end humanity because of our past sins?

Dub!Koenma says that Chapter Black "is part of a set, never meant to be seen alone", and obviously, when you only hear bad things about humans, you probably will see them as monsters. Mitarai was already susceptible to this view, because he was victim of bullying and probably nobody defended him. Sensui only needed to show him crimes of humanity as a whole to turn him into a hater.

But Dub!Koenma's words imply that there's the other "part of a set" - the part that is good about us. The urge to help, to save, to establish connections and provide discoveries to help as many people as possible.

That's why whenever there is someone who says that humans are monsters, it's the job of the heroes to prove him otherwise.

For day 10 of the event, I used the phrase ‘big sweaters’ for the Sensui Seven from Yu Yu Hakusho! This is another fandom I don’t often get to write for, and never really for these characters, so I hope any fans of the series will enjoy the headcanons 😊

Big sweaters: do you prefer the cold, warmth, or a perfect in-between?

Shinobu Sensui really doesn’t have a preference at all. He’s fine with whatever, temperature wise. If his body gets too warm, he’ll take off layers, if it gets too cold, he’ll throw on extra layers. He’s really not too in tune with his physical body, outside of what’s needed to make sure it’s alive, functioning as it should, and in peak physical performance for his goals and ambitions. Petty things like a preferred temperature? Never even crosses his mind.

Itsuki would slightly prefer warmer weather. He’s not too upset when things get chillier or anything. He’s not throwing temper tantrums or acting pissy when snow comes. He just comments that he can’t wait for the return of the warmer weather. Besides, at that time his precious Sensui is walking around in less clothing and that always makes Itsuki very happy, which is part of what makes him prefer warmer weather. The other factor is simply that he’s someone who gets cold very easily.

Kaname is the only one who definitively prefers the colder weather. Kaname runs warm as a person, but at the same time, he’s always most comfortable in layers, particularly in his motorcycle jacket. Colder weather ensures that he can be in his leather without overheating or having to strip it off. That being said, he wants colder weather without the snow and ice because once those are down, his motorcycle needs to be taken off the road for both his and the public’s safety.

Meanwhile, Sadao and Amanuma are both people who really do prefer warmer weather. Sadao prefers all the wide variety of different treats and special foods that come out in the warmer weather. Meanwhile, warmer weather means only one thing to Amanuma – summer vacation and not having to be cooped up in school, with all of his childish and boring classmates.

Both Mitarai and Kamiya don’t really hold strong preferences towards winter or summer weather because both do prefer the in-between weather of spring and fall. Mitarai prefers spring, with the weather pleasant enough to just wear a sweater or a light coat, and the frequent rain showers casting a hazy, misty light on life itself. Kamiya, meanwhile, prefers fall, with its weather  perfect for layers and the symbolisms of nature dying and going into hibernation for yet another year.
