Yoshihiro Togashi Exhibition: Heel Character Acrylic Badge: Shinobu Sensui Unopened, brand new. Shinobu Sensui —"What remains after justice is broken" Shinobu Sensui is the most well-developed ideological character in *Yu Yu Hakusho*, and at the same time, he is a character who destroyed the concept of "justice in shonen manga" from within. He is strong. But more than that, he was "too just." — ① Shinobu Sensui didn't "break," he "broke correctly." Many readers understand Sensui as "the former Spirit Detective who went mad after seeing the Black Chapter." But this is shallow. The reason Sensui broke wasn't because he learned about human cruelty. The real cause is this: He realized that the system of "justice" was dividing the world too conveniently. • Humans = beings to be protected • Youkai = beings to be eliminated • Spirit World = absolute judge He witnessed the collapse of this three-way opposition in an instant. Sensui wasn't despairing. He logically understood. "Aren't humans more like monsters?" He answered this question. — ② Multiple personalities are not "escape," but "optimization." Sensui's multiple personalities are a byproduct of trauma. But at the same time, it is also an evolution for fighting. His personality split divides: • Emotion • Ethics • Pleasure • Violence • Thought into completely separate functions. In other words, Shinobu Sensui is: "An existence that has broken down humanity into functional units." The main personality, "Shinobu," is a personality only for making judgments and doesn't need to get his hands dirty. This is not an escape. It's an extremely rational mental structure. — ③ Seikoki = "The final form of human spirit energy" Sensui's spirit energy, "Seikoki," is not just a power-up form. The essence of Seikoki is this: "Spirit energy born as a result of humans exceeding the limits of being human." • Purity that denies youki • Completely defeats Yusuke before his Mazoku Awakening • However, it steadily corrodes the body This symbolizes the end result of human justice. As a result of sharpening justice too much, it became a light that burns itself out. That's why Sensui is strong. But he can't live long. This is not a setting, but a consequence of his ideology. — ④ Sensui "doesn't hate humans." This is the biggest misinterpretation. Sensui doesn't want to destroy humans. He just wants to see if humans can be judged.
