POP Hiei (Ghost Files Yu Yu Hakushô)

If, among Yusuke's allies from the Makai, Kurama wants to be a good comrade, Hiei, on the other hand, is much more devious. Hiei will only help the investigators of the spiritual world if he has a personal interest. Of all the protagonists, Hiei will remain the most monstrous of the group, never denying his demonic nature. This makes him a constantly threatening character who must be distrusted in all circumstances, whether you are his friend or his enemy.

Hiei is a small, quiet and taciturn demon who does not like group spirit. He generally prefers to stand back and fight alone. Very disagreeable, he doesn't like Yusuke and always finds a way to put down Kuwabara who he considers too weak. Only Kurama, a demon like him, finds grace in his eyes.

In spite of his dark temperament and his unpleasant character, Hiei has however a heart that he hides very well. He has a younger sister, Yukina, who doesn't know that he is her brother. In the shadow, Hiei tries to protect her, she is sweet, innocent and coveted for her power to transform her tears into pearls. To make matters worse, Kuwabara will fall in love with Yukina, giving rise to burlesque situations where Hiei will try by all means to prevent him from approaching his sister...

Hiei, the anti-hero figure of Yu Yu Hakushô, is capable of the most remarkable cruelty during his fights. Indeed, before being an ally of Yusuke, Hiei was his declared enemy when the latter confronted him for a case of artifact theft in the spirit world.

The spirit world, from then on, will constantly try to use Hiei by baiting him with the Black Tape, a videotape which would contain all the most heinous crimes of the world. A tape that Hiei is particularly fond of and that will make him join the heroes to get it as a reward.

After the Sensui arc, Hiei will join the army of Mukuro. We will learn that he was once a demon with a monstrous strength who, after an operation to get an eye from Shigure, had lost almost all his strength in order to benefit from the power to read minds. Power that they will use to find the land where he was abandoned as a child.

We find the Funko POP figure of Hiei in the same posture where we found the character during his fight against Bui during the Dark Tournament. The Funko POP of Hiei presents the protagonist shirtless with his black hair up and his dark colored pants. In the middle of his forehead, a purple glow indicates his Jagan eye, which he once had transplanted by Shigure.

Hiei's figure obviously represents him in a martial position, as he likes fighting so much. Around his right arm, we can see his fetish technique: the Jaô Ensatsu Kokuryûha, a black flame in the shape of a dragon which he uses to char and reduce to ashes everything he touches with it. A formidable technique that draws considerably on his demonic energy and which he avoids abusing.
