If that's depth, then what about the rest of the series? Any shounen anime is straight forward, including YYH.So, leaving Keiko, his mom, and pretty much the entire world behind for the sake of fighting stronger enemies and meeting up with a guy that interfered in the fight against Sensui is a good reason now? Like I said... Three Kings arc was bad. Lame motivation, annoying flashbacks that I just didn't care about, uninteresting fight scenes and boring villains made it a dud and Yusuke a battle maniac.
LOL 😂
Do you even pay attention to what you watch? Sensui was more than just a guy who wanted to destroy the world. An average shounen would just put in any random guy, however Sensui was more complex than your average villain from the beginning. First of all, having him be Yusuke's predecessor as a Spirit Detective was ingeneous of the creator. It was also extremely learn how he totally turned his views after encountering demons being tortured by the Black Black Club. He was also far more intelligent than a villain from you average shounen. For example, if you were actually paying attention, you would remember how he had specifically recruited game master knowing full well that he would die to one of Yusuke's team members, when they tried to get to him. Through this method, he knew that Koenma would be forces to use his Mafuuken, which would reduce its power for when Koenma tried to use it on him. That's just pre brilliance in planning, and is only one example.
Also, Sensui's motives were actually questionable. I mean, who can deny that there are plenty of humans who are even more evil and corrupt than most of the demons which you see in YYH. In case you didn't get the message, that was symbolism for how the world is filled with greedy and heartless people, who can be even worse than the mystical demons that we fatasize about in stories about good and evil. And BTW, you are completely wrong about Sensui wanting to "destroy the world," which only further goes to prove that you did not even take any time to annalyze what was actually being said in this arc. Sensui himself said that he did not want to destroy the world, since he liked plants, animals, the ocean, etc., you get the idea. He only wanted to punish humanity, and wipe them all out by opening the barrier between the human and demon worlds.
Also, unlike what you find in stuff like Bleach, Naruto, and DBZ, YYH took a slightly different turn with the other bad guys in this arc. Most shounen will have a bunch of super powered minions, that will cause the good guys to go into long fights, using all kings of overpowered attacks. Well, if you noticed, Sensui's psychic minions were anything but that. They all actually had the strength of normal humans, but each had unique abilities which made them formidable challenges for the main characters to overcome. That right there was very original, and especially for the time in which YYH came out. If you think about it, the only real fight that you saw in the Chapter Black arc, were the ones between Kurama and Elder Toguro, as well as Yusuke's and Sensui's fight.
To put it shortly: Yes, all of that is depth. The fact that I could go on for pages describing all of the other aspects of the Chapter Black arc, shows that. Perhaps you just don't actually care about what is going on within an arc that you watch, at least in YYH, and just look at the raw plot on the outside, when you are watching.
And once again, you are completely wrong, this time about the 3 Kings arc having no motivation. Honestly, don't you at least listen to the dialogue a little bit. Both Yusuke and Kurama had VERY BIG reasons to go to demon world. Hiei was really the only one who didn't have a solid reason. Kurama had to go in order to save his mother, that much should be obvious. Yusuke didn't just leave everybody behind in order to fight. Once again, by actually paying a little bit of attention to the show, it would occur to you that a war was about to break out it demone world. The fate of the human world depended upon how the war turned out. If Yomi won, then he would trie to intigrate the 2 worlds, which would prove to be disasterous, since humans weren't ready to live with demons in co-existence, according to Koenma. Since Yusuke was still a Spirit Detective, he had no choice but to go and find a way of preventing this from happening. Also, he had specifically promised Keiko that he would come back, which shows that he cared about her. And if he really was fighting with no motive, he would not have come back after defeating Sensui, and went on to fight Raizen, but he didn't, because he knew he had to get back home to the people who cared about him.
Plus, after viewing Yusuke's last fight, with Yomi, it was clear that he always needed a reason to fight. Look at how he had stopped fighting for a few moments, realizing that he no longer had a reason to go into combat with Yomi, or so he thought. That shows that he did not wish to fight if he didn't need to, and wasn't just a guy who fought mindlessly. At any rate, he heard Genkai's voice at the end, reminding him of his reason, that he was fighting for the sake of everyone else, his mother and friends, for their futures. And in the end, he kept his promise of coming back to Keiko, and actually did it before 3 years had passed.
Honestly, I could keep going on and on about this, if it weren't so tiring and time-consuming to write all of this. And I doubt that you would read it all anyways. At any rate, the bottom line is that what it all comes down to, was the fact that you did not even take a second to annalyze these arcs one bit. That's why I said earlier that what you said was your opinion in not liking it, and I didn't care about that. But a good deal of what I have just said in this post, is actual facts from the series. And you did not pay attention to many of them, from what it looks like in your post. Also, what comes above the depth, is the enterainment. I'm sure you would not understand what I got out of YYH, but I got lots of enjoyment out of it, and more than in any other anime. If you're going to get pissed off at that, then tough luck, because its my opinion, and I'm not changing it just because someone disagrees with me.
