Is this by far the best main cast of the great shounen classics?

I always thought Hokuto no Ken and Jojo were better. Could just be I read them first.

Yu Yu Hakusho has some great character interaction

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Heiei were cool. To this day I get crazy hype whenever a Banchou is on screen.

A shame Kurama got most of the spotlight.

It's also a bit disappointing that some of the minor characters like Botan and Keiko weren't featured more.

They were a good cast but the mangaka didn't do a good job at balancing their appearances and relevance. Kuwabara mostly fucks off at the end and the lion's share of development went to Kurama who at that point in the manga probably needed it the least.

But I will contend your claim by posting my own. These guys were great and played off each other extremely well. Watching them do their thing was my Best Place.

I enjoyed the whole thing about Kuwabara fucking off to study

Part 4 is literally the only good cast, though. Unless you count 7, but seven is a shounen.

HnK is just trash, and I disregard the opinion of anyone who thinks otherwise.

The only manga I got the complete run of. So good so long as you picture the Jinchu arc as just an extended epilogue.

Part 3 cast is the best.

Is it just me, or anyone else thinks that Rurouni Kenshin and YuYu Hakusho are the two best shonens in existence so far? (haven't watch HxH, which many people say is up there)
>>
>>140999897
YYH is like a prototype of HxH

They basically solidified a basic rule of shonen manga: If it lasts longer than 26 volumes, it'll turn to shit. Most of the best written manga stop around there and after that point, most manga get pants on head retarded.

There are some exceptions, but look at any long-running manga and see how the plot looks before and after Volume 26.
