The Yu-Yu Hakusho watch order runs the complete 112-episode series alongside its OVAs and the Poltergeist Report movie, laid out so everything lands in the correct spot. Open with the Two Shots OVA, then work through the main show in blocks, Episodes 1-21, Episodes 22-25, and Episodes 26-66, which carry you through the Spirit Detective and Dark Tournament arcs. Drop the Poltergeist Report movie in after episode 66, then continue with Episodes 67-94 and Episodes 95-112 to finish the Chapter Black and Three Kings storylines. Cap the franchise with the All or Nothing OVA and the retrospective Eizou Hakusho OVA, both of which work best once the series is complete. Following this sequence gives you the full Studio Pierrot run including all OVAs and the movie in chronological order, with each side entry positioned where it fits the timeline rather than left as an afterthought.
