Well it may seem odd but there are a couple of things that make me think that Tim Kring may have in some way been influenced by Yu Yu Hakusho. The first being that Niki's disorder plays out a lot like Sensui's (the fracturing of thier psychosis and whatnot) I know that could just be a coincedence so for now we will just have to wait and see what happens. As for the second of the reasons: Bob had asked his daughter Elle if she had been praticing her sharp-shooting skills when she responded with a familiar looking "spirit gun" poised finger that shot out electricity, which of course looks a lot like ki. Niether of these points are too terribly convincing but I really just wanted to get this out there and see what you all think.

Well, its not Yu Yu Hakusho was the 1st series to use those things which you mentioned either. Having multiple split personalities is supposedly based off of a real condition, and having split personalities with one being stronger than the other, as well as shooting Ki out of your finger, were both featured in Dragon Ball, before YYH. Launch had split personalities, in DB, with one being puny and whimpy, whereas the other was tough and agressive. And there was one beast from DB, who I remember shooting a Ki blast out of his index finger. If memmory serves, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe it was called the "Dodon Ray," or something like that .

Woah, sorry for the late post!

I also agree that these could just be simple coincidences. As ensatsu-ken said, DB has had similar things going on before YYH. Also, I remember stumbling into Hiro's online blog (something NBC has for the series) and he mentioned a couple of anime that inspired him, bringing up DBZ but not YYH.

And for the record, ensatsu-ken, the characters showed to have the Dodon Ray (or "Dodon-pa" depending on sub or dub) are Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Assassin Tao, and maybe his brother, the Crane Hermit. Yeah, I know a little too much .
