The Only Demon I Want to Become



This an episode from my all-time favorite anime, Yu Yu Hakusho, or Ghost Fighter in our country. Since I was a child, I became fan of this cartoon series. Last year, I discovered that this anime has an english version in youtube, and it made me appreciate it more.

My favorite character in the series is Kurama, or Dennis in Filipino. He was a legendary demon bandit in the demon world, until he was badly hit by a foe. In his desperation, he hid himself in the human world as a son of a human. His plan is that after he regained his demon energy, he'll immediately go back to his world. But then, his plan did not materialized, because he learned to live and to love like a human, and that made him hard to leave his life as Suichi.

I think Kurama's character has similarities with mine. We're both cautious, we plan 3 steps ahead in any incident. We both examine and observe the situation first, before we take action.

We have a split personality disorder, wherein half of our personality is rude, but intellegent, and the other is a person that has deep compassion with the ones we love.

In my solitude, I always find myself imagining that I'm Kurama. In some ways, I already patterned my behavior to Kurama's. That's how big the impact of this character and anime to my life.
