Crunchyroll describes the plot of Yu Yu Hakusho as follows:
From cutting classes to brawling in the streets, Yusuke Urameshi is not your typical role model. In fact, this kid’s nothing more than a fourteen-year-old delinquent with a talent for trouble.
But in a single selfless act, Yusuke dies while saving another. For such a noble sacrifice, he is given a second chance at life, but it’s to be a life far different than the one left behind.
As a spirit detective, the young man must track down demons and humans alike who desire to rule over the three realms of reality.
