![]() When up against the Ninja team Yusuke would rather risk getting into a war with the entire Dark Tournmanet, then letting the injured Kuwabara fight on their behalf (the Tournament had disqualified Yusuke over a bogus technicality). Ichigaki's brainwashing and contemplates killing them rather than letting Kuwabara get hurt over what looks like a lost cause. He gets very upset when Kuwabara lets himself get hurt in order to save Yen, Kai, and Ryo from Dr. During the fight with Byakko Yusuke repeatedly demands that he be allowed to step in so Kuwabara doesn't die. Yusuke is also extremely protective of Kuwabara and shows a lot of worry whenever he's hurt/about to die.The ease with which he jumps into Yusuke's crazy adventures shortly after learning about the Spirit World would support this character interpretation - that he always wanted to challenge Yusuke to a good, wholesome duel but also stand up for him when he needed help. And in another sense he wants to be useful to Yusuke, someone who keeps his rival on edge so he remains at his best also. Though there's also a playfulness in Kuwabara's rivalry to Yusuke, like whenever he has his friend to measure against he has a bench mark he can aim for surpassing. When Yusuke is being pummeled to a pulp by Toguro he regresses into his own mental bubble, and Kuwabara and Keiko are shown as childhood friends of his - with Kuwabara slowly melting away as only Keiko remains by his side. A lot of Kuwabara's early behavior seems like he's an old friend of Yusuke's who hates how he became a delinquent and fights him primarily to get his attention.Kuwabara for his part reacts to the dream with horror, and he's so disturbed by it that he goes to the arcade to unwind from the stress (hurting Yusuke's chances, but fortunately Keiko does make it in time). ![]() What makes it even funnier is Yusuke is forced to implant this dream into Kuwabara's head, simply to increase his chances of coming back to life since 2 kisses from either Keiko or Kuwabara is better than just one (Yusuke dismisses his mom outright, because she's a partying drunk that won't be there long enough). Keiko, his mother, and Kuwabara are the only people he can think of that care that much about him, which in Kuwabara's case says a lot. Back when Yusuke was still dead and needed someone to transfer their life energy into him through the lips, Koenma tells him that only the people that care about him the most can do this for him.
