Yu Yu Hakusho's Hiei And Kuwabara Will Receive New Nendoroids
Yu Yu Hakusho might not be making a comeback to the small screen any time soon, with the series bringing the story of the Spirit Detectives decades ago from creator Yoshihiro Togashi. Despite not being on the airwaves for so long, the Shonen series remains a fan-favorite, producing new merchandise long after its conclusion. Now, two new Nendoroids will arrive next year that features two of the biggest supernatural investigators that don't happen to have the name of Yusuke Urameshi.
While a new anime series isn't in the works as far as we know, the Spirit Detectives will be making a comeback in the future thanks to Netflix, as the streaming service is currently working on a live-action adaptation of the supernatural heroes. The first is Hiei, the former deadly demon who eventually switches sides and becomes one of the most powerful allies of Yusuke and his human friends. Speaking of human friends, the other Nendoroid will be Kuwabara, the former schoolyard bully who finds himself dragged into the Spirit Detectives' world. Both designs will reflect the looks of the Shonen heroes during the Dark Tournament Arc, which is considered by many anime fans to be one of the best tournament arcs in anime history.
Nendoroid of the Darkness Flame
Goodsmile will release the new Yu Yu Hakusho Nendoroids next year beginning in June 2023, with Hiei and Kuwabara sporting the looks that they had while fighting against legions of demons along with the terrifying force of the Togoro brothers and their deadly team of brawlers:
We might not be seeing a return of Yu Yu Hakusho any time soon when it comes to its manga, as creator Yoshihiro Togashi isn't just working on the world of hunters in Hunter x Hunter, but has been struggling with health issues that have stopped the Shonen manga from releasing on a weekly schedule. Recently, with the return of Hunter x Hunter, Togashi was able to give fans a crossover between Yusuke and Gon with a new manga cover that saw the two Shonen heroes side-by-side.
