*Important note: this isn't really a movie, more like a TV special episode*
This side-story takes place in the series somewhere before the demon tournament. It's a rare focus on Yuusuke's boss, Koenma.
Animation: Same quality as standard TV episodes, meaning it's not that hot. Still, it's good compared to other series I've seen.
Sound: Same as above.
Story: It's really amusing having George the Oni in charge of Yuusuke & Co. but it isn't that great of a story, since they had to wrap it up in a standard episode length. If it were longer, they could have done so much more with it.
Characters: Main point of this special was to flesh out the characters of Koenma and George. The rest of the characters still hold thier own personalities well.
Value: As a whole, this could be skipped. It's a completely optional side-story, though the amusement factor has some draw. It has no bearing on anything else in the series.
Enjoyment: It's quite a hoot figuring out who the bad guy is in this special. This is one of the times that YYH uses liberal comedy to entertain the audience, and they pull it off well without being too silly.
Anime: Yuu Yuu Hakusho (1993)

Yusuke Urameshi is not exactly what you'd call an angel. In fact, some might call him down right devilish. But when he dies in an accident trying to save a child, he finds himself in the Spirit World. Unfortunately for Yusuke, his name is not listed in the Book of Enma, which means it was one big mistake! So he should return from the Spirit World, but must pass a few tests first, and become a detective of the spiritual world.
So now Yusuke works in the Spirit World as a half-dead, half-alive agent for Koenma, son of the ruler of the Spirit World. This position does have its disadvantages, especially when you're trying to enjoy your summer vacation and Koenma gets kidnapped! So now Yusuke must interrupt his summer fun to find Koenma and trade the Golden Seal of King Enma for his life. But if someone other then King Enma has the Golden Seal there will be chaos in the Spirit World! What's a half-dead spirit detective to do?
With the aide of his closest allies, Yusuke sets off for Magma Valley, to save the life of the one who saved his, and find out who's at the bottom of this evil conspiracy.

14, male, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., braveThis character shows little or no fear in face of danger, perhaps even jumping onto the danger when he or she believes the time comes., JapaneseA character originating from the island nation of Japan., magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair. This hair length is what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length., short-temperedThis character has a short temper, meaning he or she can get angry quickly., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.

female, , blue hairThe character has blue hair., furisodeA furisode is a style of kimono distinguishable by its long sleeves., kimonoThe kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children. They are also commonly worn with a hakama, geta, and tabi., obiObi is a sash for traditional Japanese dresses, keikogi worn for Japanese martial arts, and a part of kimono outfits., pink eyesThis character has pink eyes., shinigamiShinigami (死神, "death spirit") is the personification of death that evolved in Japan, having been imported to Japan from Europe during the Meiji period.
This image of death was quickly adopted and featured in such works as the rakugo play Shinigami and in Shunsen Takehara`s Ehon Hyaku Monogatari (One-hundred Story Picture-Book).
The term shinigami may also be used more loosely to refer to any death deity.
It seems to be a recent term, however, as it belongs to no specific Shinto deity and is rarely used in folklore.
Today, the use of shinigami for any number of supernatural beings associated with death in Japanese manga and anime is common.
For example, the series Bleach, Death Note, and Soul Eater use shinigami as a major plot device. (source: Wikipedia), topographical disorientationFor some reason, this character is having great difficulties in navigating and finding the right path, and is thus often getting lost.
In the worst case, just simple and short trips to a workplace, school, neighbour or to close by cities and towns may end up as an endless voyage through the country... or other countries, planets and galaxies., weaponized baseball batno description set

male, , black hairThe character has black hair., cynicalThe character often goes for the most realistic/pessimistic take on events., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls. In Eastern lore, on the other hand, they are generally supernatural, often but not always malevolent beings who can be more mischievous than actually evil, or simply supernatural spirits of no specific alignment., extrasensory perceptionExtrasensory perception (ESP), involves reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses but sensed with the mind., extreme speedThe character has an astonishing speed, surpassing the Human limits., flaming swordA type of sword described throughout history in legends and myths, ablaze by magical or supernatural means, often seen as being symbolic., magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws., single extra eyeA character with a single extra eye has exactly one more eye than would be expected of their species. For entirely fictional species, some common sense applies; for example, it would be reasonable to tag a humanoid species with three eyes. This is not to be confused with the multiple extra eyes tag, which requires at least two extra eyes.

While the beauty transcends gender, the character clearly has a male body; their gender is not ambiguous and there the character is not androgynous., cunningA cunning person is characterized by being sly or apt at surreptitiousness; they are generally proficient at several forms of minor deceit such as avoiding providing the truth without resorting to lying, bending the rules by sticking to their letter rather than the spirit, or other similar tricks. This contrasts with a clever person, who has a sharp mind but doesn`t necessarily apply it to surreptitious behaviour., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls. In Eastern lore, on the other hand, they are generally supernatural, often but not always malevolent beings who can be more mischievous than actually evil, or simply supernatural spirits of no specific alignment., kindHaving or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature., passionatePassionate or sometimes hot-blooded describes people having, compelled by, or ruled by intense emotion or strong feeling. They give their all in absolutely everything they do, regardless of the task.

Most are designed for use on animals, but some were specifically developed for flagellation of human targets.
