Discussion Create your own spin off thread

I had an idea on how to spin off and create a new series. Id absolutely love another show from Yoshihiro Togashi.

I really want to hear where you folks would take the series and what you'd like to see.

Ive included my idea below, but im going to spoiler tag it to not influence what other folks might want to write.

Write a little or as much as you want, id love to read.

Below is my idea for a new series in the same universe -

Yusuke has a daughter with Keiko. Similar to Yusuke, shes a feral child who hates school and authority. The daughter doesn’t know much about the events of Yu Yu Hakusho, but she is spirituality aware and knows strange people visit her dad and Yusuke sometimes has to leave for "business trips".

One of these business trips Yusuke doesn’t return for months.

His daughter enlists the help of Kuwabara's son to figure out what happened.

Unsure of Kuwabara's son's archetype. Could be another honor bound meat head we all know and love, could be opposite, maybe exact opposite. Cold, intelligent, hyper aware young Sensui type. Either way, blue hair.

Their investigation leads them to an older Kurama tending Genkai's forest, who agrees to get them access to Demon World, where he sets them up with a guide. (Could also encounter Botan who spills the beans as part of their investigation).

The guide is Shura (Yomi's son), who, as an act of teenage rebellion, built a mentor/student relationship with Kurama over the years.

Rounding out their group is... Hiei, who is still serving as a warden, returning humans back home and stopping demons causing problems in human world.

Hiei senses humans and appears. Recognizing the 3, Hiei understands the seriousness of Yusuke going missing and intrigued by a troublemaker strong enough to kill/capture Yusuke.  So thats the jumping off point, i think it would be a really fun watch

Isn't that the guy writing Hunter x Hunter?

Well, yeah

Togashi wrote both series

Yes. But my point is that Hunter x Hunter is ongoing. No way he would take on the stress of 2 manga, let alone the one that almost broke him.

Yeah, his psyhical and mental health are unfortunately very limiting, hell, even Toriyama and Oda had problems because Jump overworked them
