* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': Chapter 117-118: During the annual SchoolFestival, Class E manages to attract not only [[ContinuityCavalcade characters that had interacted with them before]], but also [[TheCameo celebrities]] such as Switch Girl, [[Manga/YuYuHakusho the Toguro Brothers]], [[Manga/TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK Kusuo Saiki]], [[Manga/KurokosBasketball Kuroko Tetsuya]] and even ''[[Manga/{{Golgo13}} Golgo 13]]''!
* ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'': The way Lancer averts his death by car in Season 3 is by saving a kid who was playing ball too close to the street. Basically, a reversal of the first chapter/episode of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''.
* ''{{Manga/Gintama}}'':
** In the anime, one scene of the Mother Arc is a PastelChalkedFreezeFrame with Gintoki's FingerGun gesture shining brightly... just like how Yusuke is occasionally depicted in the ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' anime.
** There's an exchange where Gintoki has cornered a villain that is a hysterical parody of the flashback where ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'''s Sensui and Itsuki meet :
--->'''Gintoki''': Do you have anything to say before you die?\\
'''Villain''': If you'd let me live for one more day, I'd like to watch my favorite TV show.\\
'''Gintoki''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis That! Won't! WORK!!!]] (''proceeds to kick bad guy's ass'')
* ''Manga/GoodLuckGirl'': After the abrupt ending to the fight between Ichiko and Ranmaru, one students complains that the fight should have at least been long as the Yusuke/Yomi fight from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''.
* ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'': Yuuta Togashi's family name is a reference to the family name of author Creator/YoshihiroTogashi of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' and ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' fame. Yuuta's alter ego, the sword-wielding "Dark Flame Master" and his ability to summon a black dragon made of dark fire (The Ankokuryu) is also a reference to ''[=YuYu=] Hakusho's'' Jaganshi Hiei, a sword-wielding fire demon who can summon the [[FantasticNuke Jaou-En-Satsu Kokuryuha]], which is also a black dragon made of dark fire.
* ''Manga/PopTeamEpic'': From the second half of Episode 4: SWGP 2018: "Popuko, let's combine! [[Manga/GetterRobo CHANGE!]]" "[[Manga/YuYuHakusho FULL POWER!]]"
* ''Manga/SketDance'': Bossun/Yusuke's father [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest Ryosuke]] [[DeathByOriginStory died]] [[HeroicSacrifice while saving a child]] (who was playing with a ball near the streets) from getting crushed by a car is similar to what happened to [[Manga/YuYuHakusho another Yusuke]].

* ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'': The rulebook ''Skinchangers'' has fox-shifters possessed by spirits. The sample character is [[Manga/YuYuHakusho a gentle, long-haired Japanese boy named Shuichi Kurama, who made a deal with a fox spirit named Yoko]].

* ''{{VideoGame/Cuphead}}'': Cuphead and Mugman [[FingerGun fire blue energy bullets from their fingertips]], and can even fire a bigger, more powerful shot for more damage. [[Manga/YuYuHakusho That sounds familiar.]]
* ''{{Franchise/Disgaea}}'': The Dragon gets a double reference with its Dragon Assassinator, first releasing a dragon of fire it uses to batter its enemy before absorbing it for a power boost like [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Hiei]], then proceeds to punch a hole through the victim in a fashion very reminiscent of [[Manga/DragonBall Goku's]] finishing strike against King Piccolo.
* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': Many of Berserker Jeanne Alter's attacks seem to include references to ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'', with her FingerGun invoking a resemblance to Yusuke's "Spirit Gun" and her [[PlayingWithFire Noble Phantasm]] basically being Hiei's "Dragon of the Darkness Flame" technique.
* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'': Faust's history of suffering a mental breakdown and turning into a crazed killer, then regaining his sanity and becoming a gentle healer once more may be a nod towards [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Minoru Kamiya, aka "Doctor" of The Sensui Seven]].
* ''{{VideoGame/Neptunia}}'': Monobear mentions [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Kuwabara]], who looks very similar to Mondo Owada from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''.
* ''{{VideoGame/Skullgirls}}'': Anime Peacock says [[Manga/YuYuHakusho "Quest Class!"]] in reference to Karasu, the living bomb maker.
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Robert's ''2003'' stance is based on Shinogi Kosho's cord-cutting stance from ''Manga/BakiTheGrappler''. His new Ryugekiken is similar to how Shinobu Sensui from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' kicks his fireballs when performing his "Resshū Kō Kyū Ha" move.

* {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}}: His first opponent in the Pre-Gym in ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' episode 3 is named Botan. He then references the character Botan from Manga/YuYuHakusho.

** [[Manga/YuYuHakusho "No." "Don't be rude, Nappa."]] Made all the more appropriate by the fact that Vegeta is voiced by Creator/{{Lanipator}}, creator of ''WebVideo/YuYuHakushoAbridged''.
** In TheStinger to Episode 37, Nail and Piccolo continue to discuss new attack names with references to various other series:
---> '''Piccolo:''' [[Manga/InuYasha Wind Scar]]!\\
'''Nail:''' [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Spirit Gun]]!\\
'''Piccolo:''' [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Bankai]]!\\
'''Nail:''' [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Rasengan]]!\\
'''Piccolo:''' [[Manga/OnePiece Gum-Gum Pistol]]!\\
'''Nail:''' That… sounds dirty.

* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'': Rad's special attack, the Power Poke, involves pointing his finger like a gun before firing energy, just like Yusuke's Spirit Gun from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Karate Island" Sandy's and Udon's muscle growth seems to be based on [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Toguro's 100% muscle growth]].

* ''LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'': Yuuta Togashi's family name is a reference to the family name of author Creator/YoshihiroTogashi of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' and ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' fame.

* ''{{VideoGame/Cuphead}}'': Cuphead and Mugman [[FingerGun fire blue energy bullets from their fingertips]], and can even fire a bigger, more powerful shot for more damage. Certainly sounds familiar, eh?
