📋 Full Yu Yu Hakusho episode list — canon, filler & mixed
| Episodes | Arc | Type | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-10 | Spirit Detective Saga | CANON | Manga canon. The early 'case of the week' episodes (Yusuke's death/revival, the four artifacts, the Gaki case, Genkai's tournament) are faithful, just slightly slower-paced than later arcs. Not filler. |
| 11 | Spirit Detective Saga | MIXED | Mixed canon/filler (Four Saint Beasts / Maze Castle). Some anime-original padding; core plot is canon. |
| 12 | Spirit Detective Saga | CANON | Manga canon (Maze Castle continuation). |
| 13 | Spirit Detective Saga | MIXED | Mixed canon/filler — the anime rewrites/expands portions (partly due to a skipped manga chapter); core story is canon. |
| 14-25 | Spirit Detective Saga | CANON | Manga canon: Kurama's Forlorn Hope mirror, Hiei's evil eye / Yukina case, and the lead-in to the tournament. |
| 26-66 | Dark Tournament Saga | CANON | Manga canon throughout. Highly faithful; some fights are slightly stretched with extended animation and flashbacks (typical tournament pacing), but no dedicated filler episodes. Team Urameshi vs Rokuyukai, Uraotogi, Team Masho, and Team Toguro. |
| 67-94 | Chapter Black Saga | CANON | Manga canon. Faithful adaptation of the Sensui arc and the Chapter Black tape; the anime adds a redemption beat for Sensui but no filler episodes. |
| 95-106 | Three Kings / Makai Saga | CANON | Manga canon. Adapts the Three Kings (Yomi, Mukuro, Raizen) storyline; compresses the manga's rushed final chapters but follows them. |
| 107-108 | Three Kings / Makai Saga | FILLER | Anime-original: expanded Makai (Demon World) Tournament bouts not in the manga (Hokushin vs Shishiwakamaru, Kurama vs Shigure, etc.) plus 'Farewell, Kurama'. Worth watching — extra fights the rushed manga never showed. |
| 109 | Three Kings / Makai Saga | MIXED | 'Love and War' — mixed canon/filler; anime-original epilogue/relationship material blended with canon wind-down. |
| 110 | Three Kings / Makai Saga | CANON | Manga canon epilogue material. |
| 111 | Three Kings / Makai Saga | MIXED | 'Closure' — mixed canon/filler; anime-original epilogue beats (the anime's Genkai ending differs from the manga). |
| 112 | Three Kings / Makai Saga | CANON | Manga canon series finale. |
Mixed episodes contain canon scenes spliced with filler — skim them rather than skipping outright.
💎 Filler actually worth watching
- There are no skippable filler episodes — guides explicitly advise watching everything.
- Eps 107-108 (anime-original Makai / Demon World Tournament fights) are worth watching: they give fan-favorites like Kurama, Toya and Shishiwakamaru extra bouts the rushed manga never showed.
- Eps 109 & 111 ('Love and War', 'Closure') add anime-original epilogue and relationship material for a fuller sendoff than the manga's abrupt ending.
❓ FAQ
How much filler does Yu Yu Hakusho have?
Very little — roughly 3% or less. AnimeFillerList reports zero 'pure' filler episodes, flagging only 4 as mixed canon/filler (11, 13, 109, 111). Other guides count episodes 107-109 and 111 (about 4 episodes) as anime-original. Either way it's one of the most faithful shonen adaptations.
Which Yu Yu Hakusho episodes can I skip?
None, really. Guides unanimously say don't skip — the small amount of anime-original content (mainly 107-111) adds meaningful extra fights and a fuller epilogue rather than pointless comic-relief filler.
Is the early Spirit Detective arc filler?
No. Episodes 1-25 are manga canon. The early 'case of the week' episodes are more episodic and slightly slower-paced than the later tournament arcs, and eps 11 and 13 contain minor anime-original padding, but the arc is not filler.
Does the anime cover the full manga ending?
Yes. The anime adapts the manga through its ending, including the final Three Kings / Makai arc and epilogue. The manga's final arc was famously rushed, so the anime actually expands it with anime-original Demon World Tournament bouts (107-108) and epilogue material (109, 111).
Where does the anime differ from the manga?
Yusuke's vices were toned down; Koenma's rebellion against King Enma was cut; Sensui gets an added redemption beat; Genkai's ending differs (a tea gathering vs. her manga death); and the anime adds original Makai Tournament fights plus the narrator character Jorge Saotome.
Where can I stream Yu Yu Hakusho?
As of 2026, Crunchyroll is the main US streaming home (sub & dub); it left Netflix and Hulu in April 2025. Individual episodes can also be bought on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
