This is just so people have an easy way of finding out the speed, strength, power etc. of Yu Yu Hakusho characters. Before diving into this, I recommend reading Some Tidbits About Yu Yu Hakusho, while also using Yu Yu Hakusho Character Heights, Explosions, and Energy Required to Destroy Stuff as reference, because I’ll be using those things often for the calcs.
Side note: I’m separating Power and speed calculations.
Anyway, without further ado…

That’s about all she wrote! I may come back to this series to try my hand at calculating what happens in the final battles of the anime (AKA what should have happened in the manga). Even if it isn’t canon to the story, it could be interesting.
The only other reason I’d come back to these is to correct mistakes or if new information comes to light. There is a YYH databook floating around, but incredibly no one has translated it to my knowledge. Just goes to show how monumentally less remembered this series is than Dragonball. Ah, well, maybe some day…
Speaking of Dragonball, I think I’ll move onto that series next. Should be interesting. I’ll probably take a break before doing more physics though. It’s a mentally draining kind of thing.
