A delinquent’s gotta do what he’s gotta do…in the afterlife.

Yusuke Urameshi was a tough teen delinquent until one selfless act changed his life...by ending it. When he died saving a little kid from a speeding car, the afterlife didn't know what to do with him, so it gave him a second chance at life. Now, Yusuke is a ghost with a mission, performing good deeds at the behest of Botan, the ferrywoman of the River Styx, and Koenma, the pacifier-sucking judge of the dead.

Yusuke and the gang finally face off against Sensui in a final battle to defeat him and close the portal to the demon plane. The furious exchange of devastating punches and reigun blasts pushes both Sensui and Yusuke beyond the limits, setting off a transformation that no one, least of all Yusuke, ever expected!

As things wind down from the battle, it's time to tie up a few loose ends. Then just when it looks like Yusuke might get some time off for a change, another message from the demon plane arrives that will set Yusuke's final destiny in motion! But first Yusuke needs to ask Keiko a very important question...
