I've been watching the subs, but I just looked it up and it seems I've made the wrong choice... luckily I'm not too far in, I'm going to start all over with the dub lol...

I'm coming at this as a fan of HxH so I can definitely see how Togashi writes little minigames into each episode. I like how this one hinged on a riddle with the egg game. The little baby had actually stated the terms of the game very clearly in an earlier episode--what hatches out of the egg is determined by the purity of your heart. It sounded cliche and cheesy and I assumed that a good monster hatches if you're good and a bad monster if you're bad, which is really stupid lol. But the reality actually makes a lot more sense--a human-devouring monster will always hatch (duh; there's no such thing as a magical egg that can hatch into two completely different creatures based on how it ~senses~ you); it's the purity of your heart that determines whether it gets the chance to or not.

Super smart writing. Togashi is so good!!!

Not sure whether it was a mere coincidence, or a grudge, but whoever was making fires around town sure was horrible, that's literally murder-attempt. Well, good, Yusuke seems to be coming back now. Good episode.

Hopefully that's the last replacement egg Yusuke will be getting.

Too many of those would just cause it to lose its importance.
not sure where you got that from but he's not getting a replacement egg.

i kinda saw that "twisting" ending, and i mean it, after 3 episodes of build up for yusuke to die permanently? things are only getting interesting :)

though all that, the writing is really good - yusuke almost "died" but chose to die anyway xD

and that almost kiss was good, seems we gonna get it next episode though?

I probably shouldn't be saying this about an anime that focuses on ghosts and demons but that fire was very unrealistic. From the second Keiko grabbed the door knob, which should've been insanley hot, the entire sequence was ripe with fire saftey tip inaccuracy. It was so damn romantic though.

I watched this episode for I think the second time and I agree about the fire. Does pouring water on yourself before running into a fire help? I guess she was so focused on saving YY that she didn’t notice the hot door knob.
This sums up the YuYu Hakusho anime well (paraphrased) “you can’t end a good party without someone on the floor.” Yusuke Urameshi

Few are the characters who know that Yusuke is really a nice person, but thanks to the will of these few characters, Yusuke will be able to resurrect.
It was a good episode.

I don't remember the show being so romantic about life, I like it, it makes Yusuke relationship with Keiko feel more grounded even if it still just basic he's a creep to her and she just snap! Aren't they cute? for most of their interactions but at least she was going to play some Sleeping Beauty/Snow White with his corpse lol.

 I can't tell if the pacing is slow in progressing the plot or rushed in telling each episode's story, but I can't deny that it feels like the show is draginggggg... it hasn't reached emotional heights like in the first episode either, maybe that's part of what's hurting it for me.

And can we talk about the egg dilemma? Is there really a choice between sacrificing the egg but dying permanently or letting your rescuer burn *along* with your unconscious body?? Either way, you're not coming back, so may as well save a person (your crush at that!) while you're at it??? Doesn't seem like a decision to me.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing the moment Keiko was holding the doorknob. She should've hurt her hand that instant!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!
