Spirit guide Botan intervenes, allowing Yuusuke to see how the people in his life react to his death he is moved by the emotional ruin his loss causes his mother, Keiko, and even Kuwabara. Filled with self-loathing and the burden of an alcoholic mother, Yuusuke sacrifices it all in a split-second decision-he tackles a small child out of the way of an oncoming car, losing his life in the process. Yuusuke regularly engages in street brawls against rival Kazuma Kuwabara and ridicules his childhood friend Keiko Yukimura. This is never given a name in the English dub.EditSynopsis Fourteen-year-old thug Yuusuke Urameshi spends his days skipping school and causing trouble for the adults in his life. Should this not be included, he re-forms incorrectly. However, one piece radiates energy and acts as something similar to the hypothalamus in the brain, controlling the re-forming process. When his body is separated, he can shoot his individual parts in a projectile like movement, hitting the opponent with those parts even if those parts are diced, it means more projectiles to hit the opponent and finally the parts re-form the main body which separates and starts all over again. Genbu's Bakuretsu Ganshō Dan Exploding Boulder Bomb (爆裂岩衝弾, Bakuretsu Ganshō Dan): Genbu's only known technique. He has a habit of repeating attacks until they are exploited and does not learn from these mistakes, and is the weakest of the Saint Beasts as Byakko revealed that he was only alive because of his ability to absorb into the stone wall of the castle and talk to their followers. Genbu is able to control his body, being able to merge it with other stones, split apart his body and re-form it at will. With one strike bisecting the stone, Genbu dies. The stone was his core/heart that allowed him to re-form himself properly. Upon taking hold of it, Genbu re-forms with several of his limbs improperly placed (most noticeably his head placed in between his legs). Kurama, sensing energy radiation, finds a glowing stone in the midst of the barrage. He re-forms, only to split apart and fire each body part as a projectile. With a single strike, Kurama destroys Genbu's body. Genbu attempts to hide by merging with the rock in his lair, but the rose petals scattered by Kurama's whip help to reveal Genbu's foul odor. Kuwabara, still shocked at Genbu's appearance, greatly underestimates Kurama's strength, only to be corrected by Hiei. For the first time, Kurama uses the rose whip. Rather than let the others fight, Kurama steps into battle. He is portrayed as being much stupider in the anime, as in the manga when his core disappeared, he showed shock and became greatly worried, while in the anime, he didn't even know what his core was, and only became worried after Kurama explained it was his heart.Īfter Yusuke and his friends invade Maze Castle, Genbu is the first to approach them. In the original Japanese version, he also views highly of himself, calling himself Genbu-Sama or 'Ore-sama' which both mean Lord Genbu and Lord Me, despite the fact that he is merely the deliverer of messages of the Four Saint Beasts to their minions outside the barrier, a fact his teammate Byakko notes is the only reason that they even stand him and would've killed him themselves for his idiocy and ego.

He was also rather eager to fight, and used tricks to lure Yusuke's team into his battlefield. He greatly underestimated his opponent and died because he made his weakness so obvious. Genbu, fitting with his appearance, isn't as smart as the rest of the Saint Beasts. His underbelly, though, is soft and has the appearance of abdominal muscles. Interestingly enough unlike the previously shown demons, Genbu is a beast made literally of stone and an amalgamation of several beasts: with a large shell covering his whole back like a tortoise, his arms positioned in a knuckle walk position like an ape, clawed toes like a dinosaur, the segmented tail of a snake and the spiked, tusked primitive face of an ogre with large white eyes with small black pupils, a common feature for major demons in the first arc.
