- —Hiei
Hiei is one of the main protagonists of the YuYu Hakusho series. He appeared in the 115th episode of Death Battle, Sasuke VS Hiei, where he fought against Sasuke Uchiha from the Naruto series.
History
Hiei was born from the forbidden love between an ice maiden and a fire demon, abandoned at birth and cast from the floating island that was his home. After surviving his fall down to the surface of the Demon World, he was found and raised by a gang of bandits, but it didn't last long. Remembering every moment of his abandonment, Hiei swore revenge on those that had wronged him and trained under his foster family to become a fierce warrior, soon achieving an A-Class yōkai status. He would then bolster his abilities by surgically implanting the Jagan Eye into his forehead. As he grew older, he killed mostly for fun, causing those that survived to greatly fear and reject him. His life would change, however, when he met the Spirit Detective, Yusuke Urameshi, who taught him the values of friendship and compassion, leading him to abandon his goals of revenge. He would gain a new life goal, however, when he learned he had a long-lost twin sister, who he has sworn to protect at all cost.
