This is well defined in his match with Karasu.Īs Yoko Kurama, he is much more cruel, vindictive, and merciless, retaining all of his intellectual capabilities. Because of his analyzation lenience, he is always the most injured in his fights, but manages to pull a trick out of his hat to decide the match. Coupled with his vast intelligence, his detached emotional state is perhaps his greatest asset.ĭespite his physical appearance, Kurama has very high durability, shown in almost all of his matches. In the face of adversity, Kurama has the uncommon ability to shun all emotions and shine a blank slate, thinking three to four steps ahead to clutch the pinch and seize control of the situation. Kurama has a very kind heart, and several villains in the series will use this ploy against him in order to beat him. However, his care for his friends and family are the backbone of his fighting drive, as he would sacrifice just about anything to protect them and thus making him a reliable teammate despite his cunning front. He is capable of slashing another person's head off in just an instant, relying only on impulse. In battle, while his preference is to concoct strategies based on deduction of his opponents' fighting abilities and style, his natural battle instincts are also highly tuned. He is extremely perceptive, able to quickly recognize the patterns and mistakes that his opponents make, which gives him an edge. He is able to carefully look past his feelings and see the real situation at hand, which has been demonstrated on more than one occasion. Kurama is the most calculating, cunning and analytical member of the main characters and perhaps in the whole series. Afterward, he would be indebted to Urameshi for his selfless deed. His life was spared, in the process of sacrificing it, by Yusuke's willingness to sacrifice himself to save Kurama and his mother because he knew that if Kurama had died, Kurama's mother would be extremely hurt from the loss of her only child, just like his mom did when he had first died (of course, he realized that his mom would be sad again). Putting on an act before the day would come, however, he discovered emotional empathy and feelings during a childhood incident, where Shiori selflessly saved him from falling onto a floor of broken glass at the cost of permanent scars on her arms.Īs he grew up, his mother grew ill, forcing him to join forces with Hiei and another demon named Gouki, to steal from Spirit World to receive an artifact capable of saving his mother's life, the Forlorn Hope. He only planned on staying in the human world long enough to regain his energy, but he hadn't planned on caring for his human mother. He implanted his soul into Shiori Minamino's unborn child. After hearing his friend's pleading to leave him behind, Yoko reluctantly left to once again go and steal artifacts by himself.Ībout 15 years ago, he was mortally wounded by one of the Spirit World's Elite Soldiers (known as Hunters by demons) after a failed theft, and was forced to retreat to the human world. Eventually, after successfully obtaining some rare antiquity, they fell into a trap of shooting bamboos, that would mortally wound Kuronue. Sometime afterward, he met Kuronue, a fellow thief they shared similar values, becoming good friends and would steal various important artifacts together. Eventually, Yoko sent a hitman to punish Yomi, using false information of a well guarded treasure as bait the assailant would blind him and Yoko left him for dead. However, too many of his lieutenant's impulsive and rash decisions of acting on his own, had cost Yoko several of his men, and Kurama had to save Yomi several times in the past. At some point, he and his second-in-command, Yomi, decided to gain power through theft of very valuable items from secure facilities in Makai, even gaining a group of like-minded individuals. Kurama was once a master thief renowned as the " Legendary Bandit" and an A-class ranked fox-demon.
