![]() ![]() Botan shows up and tells Yusuke that his experience with death and with his special ability, he is able to see them. This prompted Keiko to rush back to Yusuke's house to kiss his body just in time.Īfter Yusuke's revival, Yusuke is surprised to notice a demon inhabiting the body of a street punk he just beat. When Keiko grew worried when her mother fell ill and decided to stay with her the whole night and thereby jeopardized the last requirement Yusuke needs to be revived, Botan possessed Keiko's mother's body and tells her that Yusuke needs her more at the moment. At first, she is somewhat skeptical of Yusuke but finally came to realize that Yusuke really has a good heart. She is the one assigned to guide Yusuke in his test so his soul can come back again to his body, thereby resurrecting him. Later, as Yusuke teamed up with Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama, Botan helps the whole team as well. She used to view Yusuke as an interesting subject to study until she develops a bond with him, and becomes a valuable ally and close friend. She's also bubbly and cautiously optimistic, but can be a bit of a scaredy-cat. Early in the series, she disguises herself in the uniform for Sarayashiki Junior High girls, a blue blouse with a yellow scarf with a blue skirt, usually with white socks or knee socks and dark-colored dress shoes.īotan is genuinely helpful and well-meaning, while also somewhat clumsy and short-sighted. When she's masquerading as the Urameshi team's trainer during the Dark tournament, she dresses formally with a long-sleeve yellow shirt with an orange-yellow camisole underneath, brown slacks, and matching shoes. She is usually clad in a light-pink kimono with a white obi sash when on duty, but she has been known to wear human clothes. Her physical appearance generally doesn't change, but at the end of the series her ponytail and bangs have grown a bit longer. In the manga tankobon covers, she appears with blonde hair and green eyes. Botan has long cyan (light-blue) hair pulled up into a ponytail and pink eyes. The image came from maiken2051.Although she is a Grim Reaper she looks nothing like what people thought of her as, and is quite attractive. The above description came from VirtuaFantice (addition), and was edited by yours truly. Her age is questionable, too, but a lot of fans say that she can't be that old since she is a relatively new ferry woman according to her and other facts mentioned on the show. That is just a legend since in the series, Botan's origin is never mentioned. In many fanfics, people mention that Botan was once human but was killed somehow and ended up becoming ferry woman that way. She is known for being sweet, annoying, talkative, trustworthy, a good friend, and a great assistant who relates a lot to a Neko (cat) due to her other famous "Nyaaa" which is when you know she's up to no good. Either that or smashing her way through demons using her Oar and/or baseball bat. Her most used talent, besides riding her Oar, is healing. Throughout the series, Botan assists Yusuke and the others of the tantei with their missions, helping a great deal. ![]() When first introduced, Yusuke Urameshi had realized his unfortunate death and she appears reciting her famous line, "Bingo Bingo Bingo, you win the prize!" She is Koenma's most trustworthy guide to the spirit world. The above description came from Who Wants to Know?, and was edited by yours truly.Īlthough her age and origin is unknown, Botan is the best darn ferry woman in the reikai. As people join Yusuke's crew, Botan helps them out as well ( Kuwabara also has a crush on her), and she even helps to protect Keiko during the Saint Beast's assault on the Living World. In addition to her insider's insight, she relays news from Koenma and provides various tools for Yusuke and his crew to use, such as the psychic spyglass (lets Yusuke see through objects) and the communicator. While normally invisible as the Grim Reaper, as Yusuke assistant she becomes as real as you or me (she just doesn't change her appearance like Koenma), though she soon changes clothes to match the times. Once Yusuke returns to life and becomes a Spirit Detective, Botan becomes his assistant. In any event, Botan helps Yusuke through his ordeal to regain his life. Instead of a robed skeleton with a scythe he encounters a young lady in a kimono riding an oar like a witch rides a broom (it's all based on Japanese tradition, even the oar: it symbolizes the boats that carry the departed souls away). Trust me, even Yusuke was surprised that the "Grim Reaper" wasn't what he expected. She's the conveyor of the recently departed (such as Yusuke at the beginning of the series) to the Spirit World. Please note that Botan is only called the Grim Reaper because, well, it fits her job description. ![]()
