Yoko Kurama is one of Yusuke Urameshi's important friends in YuYu Hakusho. In the past, he was known as a silver fox demon who was very skilled at stealing and was feared by many people.
However, Yoko Kurama was hunted and injured until his spirit was trapped in the body of a baby named Shuichi Minamino. He then lived and grew up as a human. This also means that most of his powers are sealed.
Even so, Kurama still shows impressive abilities when fighting. He can manipulate plants from the demon world. Apart from that, he is very intelligent and calculating in attacking his enemies.
In this article, MogiMogy wants to review top strongest Kurama's techniques in YuYu Hakusho. Curious? Check out the full review below!
10. Rose Whip
Rose Whip is the ultimate move that is Kurama's trademark. Using his demonic energy, he can grow roses to function as thorny whips in battle.
Kurama's whip is very sharp like a sword and can cut steel easily. Because of this, his whip attack can be fatal if it hits a weak enemy such as a lower class demon.
9. Rose Whiplash
After releasing Rose Whip, Kurama is able to issue a variety of interesting attacks. One example is Rose Whiplash.
When performing this move, Kurama will swing the whip elegantly in various directions. This technique was used by Kurama to tear apart the body of a Seishiju member named Genbu.
8. The Binding Fist of the Demonic Vine
The Binding Fist of the Demonic Vine was first demonstrated by Kurama when he fought against Sensui. The way this technique works is similar to the Rose Whip. It's just that the thorny plants covered Kurama's hands.
Kurama can use this attack like a sharp sword in close combat. Even though his attacks are quite deadly, he is still less powerful than Sensui.
7. Seed of the Death Plant
Seed of the Death Plant is one of the secret techniques mastered by Kurama. To activate the technique, Kurama must first implant a small seed into his enemy's body.
Once the seed takes root in the target's body, the seed will grow quickly and kill the target instantly. Kurama once used this technique to finish off Roto. However, the technique didn't work on Karasu.
6. Sinning Tree
Sinning Tree shows Kurama's cruel side towards his enemies. He uses a demon plant that can paralyze and trap the target in an illusion that will never stop until the target dies.
The target that has been trapped in the plant's entanglement will never be able to escape. Kurama once used this technique to defeat Older Toguro and make him fall into despair.
5. Death Tree
Death Tree is one of the most dangerous plants in the demon world. The plant is red and has a fanged mouth at each end. In addition, the plant's mouth produces saliva containing corrosive acids.
This acid can melt an opponent's body and bones easily. Kurama once showed this attack to intimidate Ura Urashima when they fought in the Dark Tournament.
4. Ojigi Plant
Ojigi Plant is a special plant originating from North America. When manipulated with demonic energy, the plant can mutate into a vicious creature that responds to movement and heat in its surroundings.
Kurama once used this technique to attack Karasu in the final round of the Dark Tournament. However, Karasu was still too strong and was able to overcome the plant's attacks without any difficulty at all.
3. Bloodsucking Plant
Kurama's next deadliest technique is Bloodsucking Plant. Kurama releases a special plant from the demon world which is able to suck the target's blood until the target is killed.
Kurama once demonstrated this technique as a finishing attack in the battle against Karasu in the Dark Tournament. Although he was able to kill Karasu, he unfortunately lost because he got up late on the count of ten.
2. Okunenju Roots
Okunenju Roots can be said to be a Kurama technique that can only be used once and requires a very long preparation. These plants take thousands of years to grow. In addition, growing plants requires large amounts of energy.
Kurama had planted this plant three thousand years ago on the island where he fought against Shigure. With his remaining strength, he controlled the plant and dominated the battle arena until he was able to make Shigure surrender.
1. Yoko Kurama's Transformation
While in a human body, Kurama can only use his powers on a limited basis. However, he can unleash his maximum strength after he transforms into Yoko form.
In this form, Kurama's appearance will change very drastically. His hair turns white and he has typical fox ears. Moreover, the demonic energy within him was increasing extremely rapidly.
Kurama often uses this transformation as his ace card or secret weapon in certain situations. Even so, he didn't want to rely too much on this form because he was trying to become stronger as a human.
