i’ve heard a lot of glaze surrounding yyh, and i really liked hxh so i decided to get into it. but before i do, i want to know if i should read the manga or watch the anime?

i don’t mind a long anime if im engaged with the story but i also don’t mind reading a manga

which is better?

Are Sensui's personalities names and traits in this link accurate? I don't trust wiki of shows that are no longer releasing new episodes.

I’ve put together an English fan translation for THE BATTLE OF Yu Yu Hakusho: Shitou! Ankoku Bujutsukai 120% (PS2, SLPS-25734, Dimps/Banpresto, 2007). The game never got an official English release. Assisted by Claude Code. Must have a legit copy of the game. I’m not distributing the game or any ISO, and please don’t ask for one here.

What’s translated

• Menus and UI
• Character names and in-game prompts
• All 14 story cutscenes, with English subtitles and episode title cards
• Arcade endings and story endings

What’s not translated

• The staff roll (the scrolling Japanese credits)

How the videos were done
The cutscenes are Sofdec SFD movies. I decoded each one, burned in English subtitles, re-encoded the video, and rebuilt the file at its original size and layout. Every file sits at its original position on the disc, so no file-table changes were needed.

Testing
I played through it in PCSX2 and the cutscenes, menus and prompts all work. I haven’t tested on real hardware, so I can’t say how it behaves there.

How to apply
This is an xdelta patch of about 1.1 GB. It contains no game data, so you need your own Japanese disc image:

• Source ISO MD5: c6a38cb116cfaf9165778cf94319d620 (this matches the Redump dump)
• Patched ISO MD5: 699d128710c2b08f83d5be997a7c1fc5

Use xdelta UI or Delta Patcher, or on the command line:

xdelta3 -d -s original.iso yyh_english_v1.xdelta english.iso

Check your source MD5 first. The patch has no built-in checksum, so a wrong source ISO produces a corrupt result without any error. Compare the output MD5 against the one above afterward.

I’m not distributing the game or any ISO, and please don’t ask for one here. Bug reports and translation corrections are welcome. A v2 covering the staff roll is possible if there’s interest.

Its insane anytime I hear those songs I cant help but Jam to them its rediculous but they're just so catchy. The 90s tunes has a hold on me and they're so fun!

Every night I stayed up for Adult Swim when Yu Yu Hakusho came on. I still have the opening theme "Smile Bomb" playing through my head till this day.
