The following is a list of films based on the manga and anime series YuYu Hakusho.
[edit] YuYu Hakusho: The Movie
YuYu Hakusho: The Movie, also known as The Golden Seal, was a thirty-minute film aired in three parts of Japan on July 10th, 1993. This movie was in the process right after the last manga volume of Yu Yu Hakusho was released.
While vacationing, Koenma is kidnapped by a pair of demons known as Koashura and Garuga, who demand the possession of Lord Enma's coveted "Golden Seal." Botan finds Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara on their summer vacation as well, and asks for their assistance in Koenma's rescue.
[edit] YuYu Hakusho, The Movie: Poltergeist Report
YuYu Hakusho, The Movie: Poltergeist Report also known as Poltergeist Report: The Movie, Bonds of Fire, or Yû yû hakusho: Meikai shitô hen - Honô no kizuna (Japanese Title), is the second of the films based on the series. . The voice actors for Poltergeist Report are different from those in the television series and the first movie because it was dubbed by U.S. Manga Corps, rather than FUNimation or AnimeWorks. In fact the U.S. Manga Corps dubbed movie was released in 1998; 4 years before FUNimation started the TV series dub. The film lasts 90 minutes.
The story begins in the Spirit World, where the River Styx is overflowing, due to a tsunami. But as Koenma looks out his window he can tell this is no ordinary storm. The floodwaters continue to rise, and just before they become too much for Koenma he gives a mysterious item to Botan, and tells her to give it to Yusuke Urameshi. But Botan gets hurt badly and barely makes it to Yusuke. Botan is too weak to give Yusuke the item. Throughout most of the movie she’s unconscious and is unable to do anything, while a great evil is surfacing. The storm was apparently caused by the forces of the Netherworld, which was banished into cold space ages ago. All this happens pretty quickly, and so does the fighting. We get to see Yusuke and the others do their signature attacks, against some of their toughest opponents yet. To restore balance in the now flooded Spirit world, Yusuke and the others must track down five spots on Earth that contain a large amount of spiritual energy. But their simple plans get turned upside down when the ruler of the Netherworld, and his three henchmen decide to use the same energy for evil. So, the race begins to save the Spirit World, and now the Human World as well.
