Yu Yu Hakusho
Sensui is as big of a Kinsey 6 as a Kinsey 6 can get.
First off, the Seven has no girls in a series filled with (by shounen standards) action girls and cool big sisters. Hell, there were even girls in both the Dark Tournament and the Demon World Tourmanent, fighting. You'd think that, in such a 'verse, they'd have a token female as part of that group, but NO.
And if Sensui is (or at least "Minoru") was heterosexual, then, knowing what sort of person he is, he wouldn't waste any chances to manipulate any girls on his team.
Also of note: Sensui is damned intelligent, plus he thinks humans are bastards. So, if he ever CONSIDERED having heterosexual sex, he'd know he was a hypocrite. (Leading from that, he might be a misogynist bastard as well.)
Also, he never turned Itsuki down - he just let him hang out with him after they found out they liked the same TV show. A straight man would consider such a crush a threat to his masculinity.
Sensui's Seven represent the Seven Deadly Sins for these reasons
Seaman (Envy): Jealous of other people having "friends" and allies whereas he doesn't. In fact, before his Face Heel Turn, he attacks people who he thinks are weaker than him, going by The Other Wiki.
Docter (Wrath): Expresses the most hatred towards humanity, methods resolve around brutally slathering people and letting them slowly die from illness. In addition to being the first one to have engaged Team Urameshi (Yusuke) in a physical fight.
Gatekeeper (Lust): Obsessed with Sensui, openly admitted that he's in love with him.
Sniper (Pride): Very arrogant of his new-found powers, so arrogant that he only uses a firearm as a last resort weapon.
Gamemaster (Sloth): The only one not have fought the heroes at least once, powers resolve around playing video games and prefers to play them rather than playing sports like other kids.
Gourmand (Gluttony): Powers involved literally eating people alive, the only one actually seen eating onscreen (in this case, a burger).
Elder Toguro (Greed): Steals other's powers for himself via brutal means, very cunning.
Some of the characters from Hunter x Hunter are alternate-universe versions of some of the YYH characters.
Yep, they look and act similar. Gon and Yusuke, Leorio and Kuwabara, Kurapica and Kurama, Killua and Hiei. Illumi and Karasu. Hisoka may be, depending on the person you ask, Itsuki on steroids. But the creepiest resemblance is between Sensui and Chrollo. They're the same age, they have the same coloring, they have similar abilities (in level and in the way they use them- manipulative strategies that are a good defense- the best offense), and they even have almost identical body language. (If you read the manga of Hunter x Hunter, there are some panels of Chrollo that you swear were copied verbatim from panels of Sensui in YYH.)
Genkai and Yusuke are distantly related.
In theory, Raizen and the Lady Doctor hooking up could have produced MANY descendants in the present day. Some of these, while not having atavism, would still have formidable spiritual abilities. So, in theory, Genkai, as well as Yusuke, could be Raizen's descendant.
Why? Genkai has a lot of personality traits in common with both Yusuke and Raizen: her stubbornness, her fondness for cigarettes and booze, and her sheer kick-ass-ness. Plus she and Yusuke are both gamers, and they even look similar when Genkai is in her young form. She may be a LESS distant relative of Yusuke's, like a great-aunt, but it's more plausible that they're both descendants of Raizen.
Mitarai/Seaman is But Not Too Foreign.
Note that few (Japanese) humans in YYH have blond hair and blue eyes. Also note that he became Sensui's Mook because he was bullied, and that Charlie Dogs tend to be the subject of a lot of bullying in Japan. So it is reasonable to assume he has a white mother. His embarrassing codename indicates that he was either half-German or still being bullied a little. (Seemann is the equivalent word in German, and it doesn't have the punny connotations of its English cognate. Though if Sensui knows both English and German, all bets are off.)
Chapter Black is Videodrome
They are the same in form and function. Why shouldn't they be the same?
Demon World's gravity is higher than that of Earth.
Same thing with Dragon Ball Z could one reason that demons in the Makai be A LOT stronger than demons in Earth be because the Demon World's gravity is much greater. The manga and anime have proven that the Demon world is much much bigger than Earth and probably more durable too. Sensui said that he couldn't even use 1/5 of his full power on Earth otherwise it would put too much stress on the planet. He could only fight at full power in the Demon World which is another motivation for him to open up the tunnel.
Yu Yu Hakusho is an universe created by Haruhi
And who is she there? Koenma! Notice how their personalities can be eerily similar at times...
Yu Yu Hakusho is in the same universe as Bleach, and Yusuke and Kuwabara were extremely lucky to be called directly to there...
Or were reincarnated high-level shinigami to start with, Yusuke getting the help of being from youkai descendance, Kuwabara's family being somewhat related to the Kurosaki clan (Kurosaki = black flower, kuwabara = mulberry field, both have the black field theme going on; also, Kazuma looks one hell lot like Isshin). Kurama is a reincarnated youkai, and Hiei, Yukina, and the other youkai are drifters. Perhaps Chad's powerup would be similar to Toguro's...
Yu Yu Hakusho and Bleach are Alternate Continuity versions of the same universe
The universe has three dimensions: Spirit World, Human World, and Demon World. Humans and demons exist as living beings, openly acknowledging each other, and shinigami exist to manage the afterlife. The problem is that some demons eat humans. Sure, some humans are born with enough supernatural power to defend themselves, but the species as a whole seems to be screwed. The Spirit World has got to do something. This is where the universe splits:
The short story "N." by Stephen King exists in the same universe as Yu Yu Hakusho.
Think about it. The story talks about a, for lack of a better word, portal, through which creatures that are obviously inhuman and monstrous can get into the human world and wreak havoc. Sure, the OCD and rocks don't have much to do with it, but isn't it possible that that's a portal to the Makai?
Yukina knows Hiei is her brother.
She seems more attached to him than she would be if he were just a stoic member of the group and keeps pestering him about her brother, not to mention all those hints she keeps dropping ("Hm...I wonder if I'll ever find my brother..." when she was standing right next to him for example). She just wants him to tell her since she's been open about his existance and he's the one hiding the connection.
Toguro and Genkai had an Arranged Marriage.
It would have been common in the time period, especially for two children of martial-arts families. It also splits the difference between the Japanese (where they are referred to as "friends") and English versions of the anime. Genkai decided to split up the arrangement the instant Toguro became a demon.
Hiei ends up with Mukuro.
Mukuro earned his trust remarkably quickly, and Hiei's non sister related dog petting involved her. Also they mind melded and Mukuro said "Yours was the first mind to mix so readily with mine own." They both were angry people with screwed up pasts they saved each other from. She stripped in front of him. Hiei expressed a good deal of happiness when she talked about what a chore patrolling would be. It'd be nice to give both of the least happy people in the show some happiness. And they'd make a cute couple. Mukuro "The neighbors wouldn't shut up last night." Hiei, "I'll bring you their hearts."
Alternately, Mukuro is Hiei's maternal substitute.
After The Koorime exiled him from their island for being male, Hiei became quite hard-assed as he had to fend for himself at a young age. He found something in common with Mukuro (their pasts), and he finally found a replacement mother in Mukuro since Hina was gone and the rest of the Koorime rejected him. This is also a nicer way to let the Hiei/Mukuro ship down for Kurama/Hiei without resorting to Character Bashing.
The movie Sensui is watching in the cave is Predator.
Think about it. It'd make a really nice parallel not only to Chapter Black, but to Sensui's own story: humans go on mission, find out they were lied to, and then have to deal with a non-human who likes to hunt humans down. Plus it goes without saying that Sensui would have someone in the movie to root for.
Shishiwakamaru's in-universe Fangirls nursed him back to health after Genkai left him for dead.
Because those ladies are really, REALLY devoted, and would be extremely pissed if the object of their Squee were to die. So they went used the Power of squee to bring him back to life. This could also explain the out-of-universe Retcon of Shishi supposedly being dead but having enough fans for them to bring him back.
Hiei and Kurama are victims of Spirit World brainwashing.
Hiei's motivations early in the manga are simple and seem uncharacteristic: He wants world domination. While he was only supposed to be a one-off character, like Kurama, it seems like his motives for stealing the artifacts were completely unrelated to his actual motivation to get to the human world: Finding Yukina. World domination would seriously hinder finding his sister until it was too late (ie. until Torukane's torture became too much and she died.) Kurama, on the other hand, may have been set up as a kind of villain by Spirit World much earlier. Remember, demons had been hearing boogeyman stories about him for centuries. That kind of stigma is usually attached only to the series' Big Bads.
Yusuke's Demon Compass didn't explode because of Rando.
Instead, it was already reading his own growing power, and his slowly awakening demonic blood. Notice how the needle spins around, not focusing on one area before exploding. The compass can't pinpoint the energy because it's still growing inside Yusuke, not some human hunter.
Jesus Christ was a prodigy that mastered the Sacred Energy at a young age.
In the dub (not sure about the original) Sensui states that the Sacred energy was "in other times" used to seemingly make miracles. So perhaps Jesus was simply a man who mastered the sacred energy at a very young age, either through natural talent or because he had the same issues as Sensui. Also the sacred energy only works with a pure beings that wishes to change the world, which perfectly fits in as well.
Itsuki has a huge Cuckold Fetish and this may have been the initial reason he started to hang around Sensui to corrupt him.
He wanted to get Sensui to the point that he could easily get him to invoke Depraved Homosexual, since Itsuki's into that sort of thing. Plus, at least in the dub, the way he leaves Sensui and Yusuke saying, "I'll leave the two of you...ALONE" (especially the way it's delivered) seems like he wanted some action other than fighting to go down. Add to that he generally wants to show others how awesome he thinks Sensui is by any means necessary, and how proud he seems to be of aiding and abetting the corruption of Sensui's Incorruptible Pure Pureness...you get this WMG.
In the anime, Shuuichi's body was a vanity project on Kurama's part, modeled after his favourite flower: A rose.
In the manga, Shuuichi has black hair and dark eyes, as is normal and expected for Japanese people. However, in the anime, his hair is very conspicuously rose-red, his eyes are very conspicuously leaf-green, and he overall looks nothing like his (much more classically Japanese-looking) mother. This WMG posits that anime!Shuuichi's bizarre phenotype was not, in fact, natural, but is instead from Kurama deliberately tinkering on his new body while it was in the womb. His genotype is probably still the same, however, so if you were to clone him, you'd end up with a normal, average-looking sort of dude instead.
Koto was sympathetic to Team Urameshi because she had a crush on Kurama.
She's the only one (besides the team) who complains when they're getting a raw deal.
The show is going to be brought back
No new episodes, but every one will be played again, most likely by Nickelodeon, considering they seem to want to play nothing but old shows, such as DBZ.
Hiei's involvement with the robbery in the beginning of the series was a reaction to Yukina being kidnapped.
It's shown that Yukina was held captive long before her introduction to the series, and indirectly stated that she was missing before Hiei was introduced. Since it's clear that Hiei cares about her more than anything, so her going missing and be unable to find her would upset him. Likely after searching and searching for her and coming up with nothing made him have a freak out and decided to steal the items in a desperate attempt to find her. This might also explain why he acts more psychotic at the start of the series compared to how he acts later on.
The incurable disease Sensui has that was going to kill him in less than half a month is the Heart Virus that killed Son Goku in the alternate timeline
