In Yu Yu Hakusho season 1 episode 2, titled "Koenma Appears," Yusuke Urameshi has just recently died and been resurrected as a spirit detective. Yusuke's first challenge as a spirit detective is to track down three lost artifacts, and he is given the help of his friend Kuwabara. However, Kuwabara is skeptical of Yusuke's abilities and is reluctant to help him.
In this episode, Yusuke and Kuwabara head to their first destination, an amusement park, to search for one of the lost artifacts. While searching the park, Yusuke and Kuwabara come across a sinister force that is terrorizing the guests at the park. The force is revealed to be a group of demons who are searching for the same artifact that Yusuke and Kuwabara are looking for.
As Yusuke and Kuwabara battle the demons, they catch the attention of Koenma, the son of the ruler of the afterlife, who sends his assistant, Botan, to investigate the disturbance. Koenma is a tiny, baby-like figure who carries a pacifier, but he is incredibly powerful and is feared by many. Koenma quickly realizes that Yusuke is the new spirit detective and decides to test Yusuke's abilities.
Koenma brings Yusuke and Kuwabara to his office and explains the importance of the lost artifacts. He also reveals that the demons who attacked Yusuke and Kuwabara are working for a powerful demon named Hiei, who is also looking for the artifacts. Koenma tasks Yusuke and Kuwabara with finding the artifacts before Hiei does, and warns them that failure could result in the destruction of the human world.
Yusuke and Kuwabara agree to the task and set off on their journey to find the remaining two artifacts. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including other demon fighters who are also searching for the artifacts. However, Yusuke's determination and fighting skills allow him to overcome these challenges and make progress in his mission.
In the end, Yusuke and Kuwabara successfully obtain all three of the lost artifacts, but they are confronted by Hiei and his team of demons. A fierce battle ensues, and Yusuke and his friends are pushed to their limits. However, with Yusuke's fighting skills and determination, they are able to emerge victorious and prevent the destruction of the human world.
Overall, "Koenma Appears" is an action-packed episode that introduces new characters, sets up the story for the rest of the season, and showcases Yusuke's fighting skills. The episode's blend of humor and drama adds depth to the characters and makes the audience invested in the fate of the world.
