His ghost is greeted by Botan, a woman who introduces herself as the pilot of the River Styx, who ferries souls to the Underworld where they may be judged for the afterlife. Botan informs Yusuke that his act had caught even the Underworld by surprise and that there was not yet a place made for him in either heaven or hell.
Soon Yusuke is off on his first case, retrieving three treasures stolen from the Underworld by a gang of demons: Hiei, Kurama, and Goki.Yusuke collects the three treasures with the aid of his new technique, the Rei Gun, a shot of aura or Reiki fired mentally from his index finger. He then travels to the mountains in search of the aged, female martial arts master Genkai.
Together with his rival Kuwabara, Yusuke fights through a tournament organized by Genkai to find her successor. Yusuke uses the competition as a cover to search for Rando, a demon who steals the techniques of martial arts masters and kills them Yusuke defeats Rando in the final round of the tournament and trains with Genkai for several months, gaining more mastery over his aura.
