Ahem, well that certainly was one of the crapiest fanfics I have ever seen. I wish my curiousity hadn't gotten the better of me and I hadn't clicked that link. I mean te grammar was pretty good... so I can give it that much... but uhg, there was no lead up to anything and it was just kind of... there.
I know there are some fans of it, but I've never actually been able to make sense of the Hiei/Kuwabara pairing. I mean I just don't really see them ever being able to form any kind of relationship. Sure there's some level of respect there, but for the most part they hate one another confused


I am a fan of the pairing... cry

Nah, I'm not hurt. I like them in an alternative universe, not the canon universe. Anyways, they do not hate each other. In the dub, yes. In the original, no.

Another thing I did not fancy much about the dub was how judgemental it was towards Kuwabara at times. There were a lot more 'he's stupid' or 'he's not going to become much' jokes in the dubbed version of the show. I am not trying to insult you, of course! sweatdrop And I'm sorry if I do, but I just wanted to make that clear. I'm sorry...

Also in the Japanese version of the show Kuwabara and Yusuke was about to get killed in the Dark Tournament (I think it was in the Ichigaki team VS Urameshi team; not sure though) and Hiei screamed out 'Kuwabara! Yusuke!' or something of the like. I'm pretty sure in the dub he just screamed 'Yusuke, get out of the way'. confused

Again, I need to rewatch this the Dark Tournament to find the exact episode. I will do so as soon as possible. smile


But I agree, that fanfic was horrendous! And I wouldn't mind if you reviewed it to make sure she'll learn her place. She's also going to write a Kurama/Hiei fic! gonk (I am not scared because of the pairing, but due to her being the one to write that fic!)


I never felt that they hated each other in the dub. I really like their interaction, actually. There's a level of genuine liking underneath even their respect for each other, and they're no less teammates than any of the others. I haven't watched the sub for a while; maybe I'll go do that.

I could be wrong though. I am not the greatest to read people to be honest. sweatdrop (But I know they are genuine friends) I did however feel that there were a closer bond between them in the sub to be completely honest. Not 'hating on the dub' though; I think people should be allowed to watch what version of the show they prefer. smile

As long as we all love Yu Yu Hakusho, that's more than good enough.

Indeed. I haven't watched the sub, not because I don't like it, but because I've been basing most of my stuff off the dub, and also I've been watching the dub with some friends who don't like subtitles. I think a rewatch of the sub is long overdue for me.

And Kurama and Hiei have the sexiest sub voices EVAR.

I see. Well, continue watching the dub because you're excellent at reading characters. There are some differences in the characters' personalities, so perhaps sticking to one version is enough? The change is not that big though.

Am I crazy if I think Kuwabara's Japanese voice is, for lack of better words, cool? I've always wanted to make my voice go so high pitched, but I can't seem to manage to do so! lol

Well, the dub is what I am most accustomed to, so I tend to go by it quite often. I only really stand viciously by the subbed version when it comes to Kurama and Youko's merge with Shuichi. I'll admit it's rather stupid but I dunno, it's just me. I tend to multitask when I watch TV, so since I can't understand Japanese completely with out subs, I watch the English version.
I suppose hate was a bit of a strong word for me to use but... In all honesty, going off the dub I only really saw begrudging respect between Hiei and Kuwabara. I mean sure there's one scene in the dub where Kuwabara is very impressed by something Hiei's done and exclaims, "Wow, shorty's a lot cooler than I thought!" and then runs up to him first before the others follow. If there is a friendship there, from what I can see it's something very unspoken and something neither of them really want to admit. However these are only my points of view. If I'm wrong... well, then I suppose I am wrong sweatdrop Either way, I wasn't meaning to offend anyone when I said I couldn't make sense of the pairing, it's just something that's not my cup of tea. I do apologize if I stepped on anyone's toes or really upset someone.

No, no, don't be sorry! sweatdrop I apologize, I didn't mean to come off like that. And you're not the only one multitasking; I'm watching the History Channel and writing this at the same time.

Hiei and Kuwabara are defiantly friends, they just don't have a very harmonious friendship. Think of them as siblings (thought I prefer to think of them as an old married couple...) they care for one another, but have no idea how to express it.

Let's just agree to disagree; I like Hiei with Kuwabara and you like him with Kurama; either way he ends up with a redhead whose name starts with 'Ku-'. A win-win! lol

Yeah, juggling more than one would probably be difficult, which is why I'm being careful not to do it. >.>

I do kinda like his Japanese voice. It's incredibly expressive, and in a different way than a lot of characters. Plus it makes me giggle. (And I can go that high. I'm a soprano.)

I'm honored by your sig! o.o
PostPosted: Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:22 pm


A lot different than the other characters; it was very unique. What is a shame though is the fact that I've never heard Shigeru Chiba (Kuwabara's voice) in any other role despite that he's a voice actor veteran.

I am honored by your kindness! redface *Start plotting on how to name a holiday after Jes* mrgreen

Yes, I agree to disagree with you Yuudai ^_^.

You know another pairing that hasn't made sense to me... and I am not sure if I have mentioned it before or not(or if someone else has) but, Kurama/Yukina. I just can't make heads or tails of this pairing... I see no attraction between them and I REALLY can't see Kurama betraying Kuwabara like that, especially because he knows Kuwabara is in love with her. I find I haven't been able to enjoy a fanfic yet involving that pairing.
PostPosted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 12:24 am


Exactly! I can't see Kurama like that either... confused Besides, have they ever spoken to one another? Yukina and Kurama, I mean.

This goes back to what I have been saying since the start of my Yu Yu Hakusho obsession; if Kuwabara was a 'pretty boy', he would have been paired up with practically everyone. rolleyes Odd thing is, I can't say I find him ugly either...

I tend to agree, also. This is part of why I dislike pairing Yukina with Yuusuke also; I'll buy her finding love outside the team, but no one on the team would do that to Kuwabara, nor has anyone else on the team shown interest in her anyway.

I harbor a secret fondness for Yukina/Touya. Even though it's not really realistic. Just because. xd
PostPosted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 11:09 am


I really hope Touya isn't weak against fire, because boy oh boy will Hiei be angered! lol And honestly, my favorite couple isn't realistic either, not even near being so!

Heh, if Kurama and Yukina have never spoken to one another then Touya and Yukina have DEFINITELY never spoken to one another. However, I will admit that I can't really hate the idea of that pairing because it seems like it would be so cute sweatdrop I don't know, maybe in an alternate universe somewhere it could happen... although I would fel so sorry for Kuwabara ><. I'm with Yuudai too, I hope he has good deffence against fire, because Hiei would likely not be pleased rofl .
PostPosted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 12:28 pm


I admit it's cute, but due to me being bad at visioning things, I can't say I like that pairing due the fact that they've never even spoken to one another. Got nothing against those that do like it, mind you! sweatdrop

Here's another odd pairing; Sensui/Sniper. Yes, Sensui is most likely gay (at least the way I see it), but I see no chemistry between them. It seems like they've just been paired up in fandom due to their appearances; it seems a little shallow to be honest. confused

I've never seen a Sensui/Sniper pairing before. It certainly doesn't make a lot of sense to me confused Mainly because to me the ONLY person for Sensui is Itsuki *whistful romantic sigh*.
I think the only reason fans might want to pair Sensui with Sniper is because I think there's a moment in the anime where Sensui reassures Sniper or something, and Sniper really looks up to him... Or something like that. To be honest I don't really remember because I haven't seen th Chapter Black Saga in a while. Either way I am still not a fan of it, I don't see any form of chemistry between them.
