Yusuke Urameshi is a street-brawling delinquent with a tough guy approach to everything. Yusuke's mother Atsuko, an alcoholic, had him at the age of 14 and shows little interest in raising her son. He has a reserved seat in the guidance counselor's office, and numerous other delinquents in the city are trying to take him on. Yusuke is pretty fed up with life.
However, no one expects a sudden act of heroism on his part: he dies trying to save a little boy from a speeding car. In fact, when he arrives in the afterlife, he is informed that no one was expecting him to die that way, and were not prepared for his arrival.
After numerous tests to gauge his worth, Yusuke is eventually revived, and is assigned to work for the Spirit Realm as a detective investigating demonic cases in the human world. He comes into spiritual abilities of his own, and enlists the help of numerous friends from Reikai (spirit world), Makai (demon world, translated in the English manga as the Demon Plane) and Ningenkai (human world) to aid him in his cases as they fight off demons and humans seeking to rule over all three worlds.
The ranking of demons and apparitions is done by grade letters. E-class is the weakest class of demons, only slightly stronger than ordinary humans. Meanwhile, the S-class is the strongest demon classification. Each class also has sub-divisions of lower (or -), middle, and upper (or +). For example, the S-class has three subclasses: S-, S, and S+. They are not used to classify humans, and when judging the power of a human, they will say that the characters power is equivalent to a certain demon class. "S+" indicates that the particular character is at the highest level of that rank. In the Three Kings Saga, it seems that many demons surpass the low S-class ranking, so YuYu Hakusho adopts a numerical system. 80,000 on this system is equivalent to a middle B-class, 120,000 to a middle A-class, and 200,000 to a middle S-class.
Interestingly, Yusuke and his friends' power levels climbed very fast throughout the series. At the beginning of the series, Yusuke and Kuwabara had only E-class power levels. By the Saga of the Three Kings, Kuwabara possesses middle A-class power and Yusuke possesses high S-class power. It took Sensui six years (a split between 7 personalities) to develop low S-class power where as Yusuke went from E to high S-class in a little less than two years (albeit due to extreme circumstances and experiences). By the time of the Saga of the Three Kings, all of Yusuke's friends and allies that fought were stronger than the Toguro brothers, including the dark tournament qualifiers.
