His only choice left, and the one he dislikes the most, is to possess his rival from Sarayashiki, Kuwabara and tell his loved ones not to cremate his body, however there is a one-hour time limit. He tries to tell Keiko in a dream, but when Atsuko told her that she also had a strange dream about Yusuke, she thought that none of her dreams were real. Yusuke's mother, Atsuko, is out of the question, since she is completely drunk from drowning her sorrows over the loss of her son. He must get the attention of at least one of his friends so his body doesn't get cremated. However, if Yusuke's soul has a good nature, the Spirit Beast that will hatch will lead him back to his body.įairly confident that he can do the task, Yusuke and Botan return to the living world to make sure that Yusuke's real body is properly taken care of.

If Yusuke has an evil-natured soul, the Spirit Beast will devour him, body and soul, meaning he will cease to exist in any plane of existence. He gives Yusuke the key to his revival a small golden egg, which will eventually hatch a Spirit Beast. Botan hits him for showing great disrespect as Koenma is the only one (besides Great King Enma) to give back his life.

An annoyed Koenma explains that he is Great King Enma's son and warns Yusuke to watch his mouth, but he mocks him. Yusuke however, laughs after seeing his young appearance as he mistakes him for his father. He introduces himself as Koenma, the prince of Spirit World (and son of Enma). He changes his mind after seeing how important he actually was to them and Botan takes him to the Spirit World.īotan takes Yusuke to the Spirit World to meet the great ruler of the Spirit World, Great King Enma, but instead of meeting a large hulking monster like Yusuke expected, they're greeted by a toddler in a uniform. Yusuke, however, turns the offer down as he might get used to his new "life", until during his wake when Keiko, Kuwabara, his mother and Principal Takenaka are shown heartbroken after his death. She told him that he could have his life back as his sacrifice was pointless. He realized that he became a ghost, and moments later met Botan, the pilot of the River Styx or otherwise known as the Grim Reaper. Previously, fourteen year old Yusuke Urameshi was killed in car accident while trying to save a little boy who would survive. Yusuke possesses Kuwabara's body to inform Keiko about his attempting to come back to life so that his body will not be cremated. Yusuke meets Koenma, son of the ruler of the Spirit World, and is given the task of raising a spirit egg that, when hatched, may return him to his body.
