Ep. 1: Yusuke Urameshi dies saving a child and is offered revival by Botan

Narcissistic slacker Yusuke Urameshi dies after being struck by a car while saving a child playing in the street. He later discovers the child would have survived and that the Spirit World did not anticipate his death. Botan, the Guardian of the river Styx, offers him a chance to return to life. Yusuke initially declines the proposal but changes his mind after witnessing the grief of those he believed were indifferent to him. He sees his childhood friend Keiko Yukimura, his mother Atsuko, and his rival Kazuma Kuwabara mourning at his wake. This display of care convinces him to accept the offer and revive.
