It can be said that the cast of the main characters of Yu Yu Hakushô lacks femininity. And for good reason, Yoshihiro Togashi's shônen, based on bloody fights, is primarily aimed at a male audience. However, some female characters will manage to make a place for themselves. This is the case of Botan who, without ever fighting, will follow the heroes' journey in a diligent way during all their adventures.Botan is a guide to the spirit world. She is the one who brings the spirits of the dead to the spirit world so that Emma can decide whether they will go to heaven or hell. Botan will be introduced for the first time during the first chapter, when Yusuke will kill himself while saving a child's life. Botan, then, will propose to him to find his place among the living by submitting himself to a test that she will indicate to him. What he will succeed with brilliance.Thereafter, Botan will become the liaison between the spirit world and Yusuke, the latter having become a detective of the spirit world. As such, this one will be then missioned by Botan for each of his adventures. The latter will then give him the tools and the information he will need but will be careful not to fight. Botan is not a fighter but simply a guide of the spiritual world and keeps as far away from the tumult as she can.Acting as Emma Junior's right hand, she will always accompany Yusuke's gang in their adventures, including during the events of the Dark Tournament. However, when Yusuke, Hiei and Kurama move away from the guardianship of the spirit world, she will no longer be able to follow them.As a guide, one could expect Botan to be serious and wise, although the situation is quite different. Botan is indeed clumsy, noisy and a bit silly. But she's still brave when the circumstances call for it.The Funko POP figure of Botan does justice to this guide to the spirit world. She wears a long, disheveled head of light blue hair. A haircut that many female characters in Shônens at that time wore. In addition to her strict appearance, Botan's POP is dressed in an old and traditional pink kimono, which is tightened at the waist by an Obi, a traditional Japanese belt.Indeed, Botan's figurine refers to a traditional and outdated imagination, while the character is supposed to be timeless and at least centuries old. Of course, the guide to the spirit world, with the Botan POP figure, is not without her witch's broom on which she flies at an amazing speed to shuttle between the Earth and the spirit world.Finally, on this Funko POP figurine of Botan, we find her sitting on her broom, her left hand raised. We can then guess that she is waving to the heroes as they struggle to defeat their enemies, while she stands cautiously in the background as usual.
