Season chronology

This is a list of episodes of the Yu Yu Hakusho anime, covering what the English language dub considers the "first season" of the series, known as the Spirit Detective Saga. The episodes are directed by Akiyuki Arafusa and Noriyuki Abe and produced by Fuji Television, Yomiko Advertising and Studio Pierrot. The episodes were released in North America by Funimation. They are based on the YuYu Hakusho manga series by Yoshihiro Togashi, and adapt the first through sixth volumes of its source material over twenty-five episodes. The episodes follow the story of Yusuke Urameshi, a teenage boy who dies in an accident, and is resurrected as a Spirit Detective, Spirit World's protector of the Living World against demons and other supernatural threats.

The episodes aired from October 1992 to April 1993 on Fuji Television in Japan. The English episodes aired from February 2002 to April 2003. The first twenty-one episodes were shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block, with re-runs playing after July 2002.[1] New episodes began airing in April 2003, when the episodes began showing on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block.[2]

Two pieces of theme music are used for the episodes; one opening theme and one closing theme. The opening theme is "Hohoemi no Bakudan" (微笑みの爆弾, lit. "Smile Bomb") by Matsuko Mawatari. Another of Mawatari's works, "Homework ga Owaranai" (ホームワークが終わらない, Hōmuwāku ga Owaranai, lit. "The Homework Never Ends") is the closing theme.

Seven DVD compilations, containing either three or four episodes, have been released by Funimation.[3] The first was released on April 16, 2002, with the seventh released on December 10, 2002.[4][5] In addition, a full collection, containing all seven DVD compilations of the saga, was released on January 14, 2003.[6] A Blu-ray compilation was released by Funimation on May 31, 2011.
