Rumors

This is a list of rumors I have heard of and evaluated. If you have any proof these "rumors" being true please email me at smilebomb@moonlightwarrior.net.

Rumor: There is a Yu Yu Hakusho OVA (OAV) Valentine Special.
My Reply: This is one of the biggest rumors. Rumor says there is a Valentine OVA and that Botan is kissed by Kurama or Hiei. Some tales say she recieves a smooch from both the guys; some say only by Hiei or only by Kurama. As far as I know this OVA does not exist. If it did it would be included in the Eizou Hakusho collection, but it's not. And even if it wasn't in Eizou Hakusho there should still be some screen shots floating around the web somewhere if it was real.The YYH Valentine Special may be just a rumor or it could be a fan made episode.

Rumor: There is a third Yu Yu Hakusho movie.
My Reply: Another rumor that has no proof of it being true. First off the second movie wasn't made until 1996; years after the show ended. For there to be another movie it would have been made recently and there would be news about it. There may be a movie planned in the future for an anniversary (we can only hope) but it's unlikely. There being a third YYH movie is just simply a rumor.

Rumor: Kurama and Hiei are in a romantic affair.
My Reply: This is a tough one. A lot of people believe this. This may be a rumor, it may not. Only Yoshihiro Togashi really knows. He has claimed that the only homosexual couple in Yu Yu Hakusho is Sensei and Itsuki. I believe that Kurama and Hiei are just good friends. Like friends they watch each other's back and stuff. Like how Kuwabara and Yusuke watch out for one another. Though Hiei and Kurama are good friends Hiei won't admit it and makes him seem like he is hiding something, hiding his feelings. Some may take this as he loves the fox as more than just a friend. He may, he may not. I don't know, you may think you know, but only the creator knows the truth. Evidence against the two being a couple is in one of the last episodes when Hiei gives Kurama his jewel to give to Yukina, Kurama jokes saying something to the effect that he doesn't feel that way toward Hiei. He is joking about the matter but that could only be a cover for his true feelings. Again we are left in the dark. Hiei also seems to have a strong connection to Mukuro which may also prove against this couple. But things are not always as they seem.

Some japanese magazine asked Yoshihiro Togashi himself about Hiei and Kurama being a couple, and all he did was laugh and say, "No, I did not intend for this couple to appear, but now that people have brought it up, I find it funny and probably should have done it." So NO, they aren't a couple, but that's not saying that the author wouldn't have made it that way had he thought of it. This information was submitted by Kitty

Rumor: What about Botan having Kurama's baby? Or Ayame and Koenma being together? And KoenmaXBotan? And Botan being bisexual? Submitted by Izzy
My Reply: Wow! Poor Botan is getting a lot of gossip. Okay, first things first. Botan is supposed to appear the age of about 14, evident by her ability to disguise herself as a school girl. And Kurama is about 15, but at the end of the series he's about 19. A little young to be having children. Now there is no romantic relationship hinted between them in the series and even in the wacko Eizou Hakusho Kurama only said Yusuke was lucky to have Botan for a wife. (Yusuke was having a dream in which he married Botan). So really there's no way they had a child.

Okay, next! Koenma seems to have no romantic relationship with either grim reaper; Botan or Ayame. He seems to be less close to Ayame than Botan, who he a good friend to. Koenma's relationship with the spirit realm is later strained in the series. Neither Koenma or Botan ever had any solid evidence of being paired up with anyone.

I don't believe Botan is bisexual. She is only friends with Keiko and Shizuru. She never put the moves on any girl as far as I'm concerned. Her relationship with men is also never romantic, when you lose Kuwabara's short-lived inflatuation with her.
