YuYu Hakusho tells the story of Yusuke Urameshi's adventures and his friends to protect the human world from the threat of yokai aka evil demons. He often faced strong demons.
An example is the Seishiju aka "Saint Beasts" who rule Demon City. They have names and characteristics inspired by four mythological animals in Chinese and Japanese traditions.
What do you think they look like and what are their strengths? Check the following discussion so you know the answer!
1. Suzaku
Suzaku is the leader of the Seishiju group and the strongest among them. He has a less scary appearance. However, his fighting ability was above average.
Suzaku is able to control and manipulate lightning in battle. Apart from that, he is able to create clones to gang up on his enemies. He was so strong that he put Yusuke in a cornered situation.
2. Seiryu
The next Seishiju member is Seiryu who has an arrogant nature and overestimates his strength. He also shows a cruel side as he does not hesitate to finish off his colleagues who fail to carry out their duties.
In terms of strength, Seiryu is an ice element user. He is able to manipulate the temperature around him and freeze enemies in a short time. Although his strength is something to be reckoned with, he is nothing in front of Hiei.
3. Byakko
Next, there is Byakko who has the form of a human tiger. He has a fierce and aggressive nature. Besides that, he tends to underestimate enemies he thinks are weak like Kuwabara.
Byakko has quite unique abilities. He can absorb spiritual energy from his enemies and utilize it to increase his strength. To defeat him, Kuwabara must fight tooth and nail.
4. Genbu
The last and weakest Seishiju member is Genbu. He has a shape like a turtle with a body made of rocks. His appearance is in line with his fighting abilities.
Genbu is able to merge with the soil or rocks around it. In this way, he can deliver surprise attacks from unexpected directions. He was ultimately killed after his soul core was destroyed by Kurama.
