Genkai - Blog Posts
watching the english dub of yu yu hakusho with my grandma.
she's enjoying it, only complaints are how they keep dragging everything out which is fair.
but that episode with jin 💀
my grandma's irish and when we heard his accent we were both laughing so much lmao. like it came out of nowhere, so unexpected.
it sounded like an over-exaggerated accent, like someone thought of the stereotype and bumped it up to 100ðŸ˜
she was pretty sad about genkai too.
i love kuwabara, cool dude fr....but he's so corny when he's with the girl (i forgot her name) i feel the seconda hand embarrassment and cringe as if im actually there.
Rewatching the Dark Tournament saga, and feeling so much appreciation for Genkai and her arc. I just got to the part where she gives Yusuke her orb. In the discussion they have before it, she tells him she never thought of herself or her power as heroic and never needed that excuse to grow or become more powerful. It just was and it was hers and that was enough.
And add to that her whole juxtaposition with Toguro. She doesn't regret aging, she has embraced it - she has embraced her life's natural progression. And how hard it must have been for her to see the man she loved go down such a different path. Plus she deserves way more credit for not stomping everyone into the dirt for how they kept calling her ugly / whore / hag etc but I digress
Maybe it's just from getting older, but my appreciation and love for her just grows each time!
