** And of course, the ENTIRE first half of the episode has been spent showing us [[{{Jerkass}} what a dick Yusuke was]]. He did NOTHING whatsoever to make us care all that much for him, until the point when he saved that kid. Yet it STILL manages to tear your heart right out when you realize just how much he meant to those around him. It's tearjerking, but at the same time it's a punch to the gut to anyone who's ever felt like their life had no meaning -- a feeling everyone has had at some point.

** And of course, the ENTIRE first half of the episode has been spent showing us [[{{Jerkass}} what a dick Yusuke was]]. He did NOTHING whatsoever to make us care all that much for him, him. He harassed Keiko, got into fights on a lark, and didn't even seem to care much at all about his mother. In turn, Keiko, Kuwabara, and Atsuko didn't seem to like him all that much either. There's really no reason given to like Yusuke up until the point when he saved that kid. Yet it STILL manages to tear your heart right out when you realize just how much he meant to those around him.

[[spoiler: He is tasked by Sensui to eat Elder Togu before Toguro because his regeneration was taking too long and his power was better suited to be used by Gourmet… At least that’s what he’s led to believe. It gradually dawns on him that he’s being EatenAlive by Elder Toguro killed from the inside out and reout of the sheer horror of the situation, commits suicide to avoid being completely eaten- leaving Elder Toguro to puppeteer his now dead body like a body suit]]. [[BadBoss It also highlights Sensui’s lack of care of his subordinates because he knew this would be the outcome and deliberately withheld it from him]].
