Yu Yu Hakusho - Universal Fighting System/Universus
Welcome all! This page will serve as the hub for the Yu Yu Hakusho TCG, which is Set 33 for the Premier set, and Set 49 for Dark Tournament, as part of the Universal Fighting System, later dubbed Universus, developed by Jasco Games! I have no real idea how to play or anything, and don't intend to go too deep into the game. I do, however, plan to collect the cards. The subpages will contain everything you need for this game. Here is some information, though:
Premier Set Release Date: September 6, 2019
80 Card Set + 1 Box Topper + 8 Alt Arts + 8 Full Arts + Full Art Insert Card + 9 Special Foil Alt Arts + 5 Promos = 112 cards
Boxes - 24 packs each
Packs - 10 cards per pack
Cases - Version A: 6 booster boxes + 1 copy of every Ultra Rare from the set.
Version B: 8 booster boxes + sealed Full Arts set + sealed Alt Art Foils set.
6 Commons per pack
3 Uncommons per pack
1 Rare per pack (foil)
1 Ultra Rare (foil) per 4 packs (so about 6 per box)
There was also a playmat that was given out to winner's of the season when set 1 was released.
Dark Tournament Release Date: February 23, 2024 (only at LGS's)
160 Base Card Set + 40 Time Shifted Reprints + 6 Alt Arts + 16 XR's + 6 XSR + 4 Chrome Rares + 3 Promos + 4 Chrome Rare (Top 4 Stamped) = 239 cards
Cases - 6 booster boxes each
Boxes - 24 packs each
Packs - 12 cards per pack
6 Commons per pack
3 Uncommons per pack
1 Rare (foil) per pack (gets replaced by Extra Secret Rare, Secret Rare, Ultra Rare Alt Art, and Ultra Rare)
1 Ultra Rare (foil) per 4 packs (so 6 per box) (replaces Rare in the pack)
1 Ultra Rare Alt Art (foil) per 72 packs (so 1 per 3 boxes) (replaces Extra Rare in the pack, though you also will not get a Rare in the pack either)
1 Extra Rare (foil) per 12-24 packs (so 1-2 per box) (replaces Time Shifted Reprint in the pack) (Note: Some boxes contain 1 Extra Rare while others contain 2. The second can be replaced by either an Ultra Rare/Uncommon Alt Art or an Extra Secret Rare) (Note 2: Botan and Byakko fall into this category as well even though they are Time Shifted Reprints)
1 Secret Rare (foil) per 24 packs (so 1 per box) (replaces Rare in the pack)
1 Extra Secret Rare per 72 packs (so 1 per 3 boxes) (replaces Extra Rare in the pack, though you also will not get a Rare in the pack either)
1 Time Shifted Reprint per pack (gets replaced by Extra Rare, includes Byakko)
1 Retro Time Shifted Reprint per 24 packs (so 1 per box) (replaces Character in the pack)
1 Chrome Rare in every 288-576 or so packs (so 1 per 2-4 cases) (replaces Character in a pack) *Pack ratio not confirmed*
1 Character card per pack (gets replaced by Retro Time Shifted Reprint, Botan Extra Rare, and Chrome Rare)
Notes: If you purchase a case, you should get 8 Extra Rares, all 6 Secret Rares, all 5 Retro Time Shifted Reprints (and 1 extra of 1 of them), 2 Ultra Rare Alt Arts, and 2 Extra Secret Rares.
Interestingly enough, I've seen both Byakko and Botan pulled but where Botan replaces the Character in the pack, Byakko replaces the Time Shifted Reprint in the pack. Perhaps one of them was an error? The Byakko was pulled from a release kit pack so maybe that's where the difference is coming from?
A Dark Tournament Playmat was also given to the Winner of a Release event for Dark Tournament on 2/23/24.
Information regarding collation of Dark Tournament packs can also be found here on the Universus site.
On July 24th, 2023, Universus once again rebranded itself. It will still be called Universus, but the card backs have been altered. Additionally, they plan to start to work on released new non-My Hero Academia card sets. As of right now, only Cowboy Bebop and Trigun Stampede have been announced but a Yu Yu Hakusho set may be in the works. Keep an eye for more information on their official page found here:
You can read all about the changes here.

The Top 4 Stamped sets of Chrome Rares for the Make A Wish Tournament held on 3/10/24 (Top 16 cut, with qualifiers via Swiss format on 3/9/24 which had 141 players in total) were won by Jose Norono (1st), Mitchell Cimino (2nd), Omar Soubra (3rd), and Christopher Oettinger (4th). Jose and Omar have stated they plan to keep their copies (Update: They were both found to have cheated and did not receive their copies). Mitchell is selling his set to inviso (me!). Christopher was unable to be tracked down to determine if he would keep his set or not. As such, only 2 sets of the 4 were released.
As of Oct 14, 2022, another small CRD was quietly implemented with a few changes to the YYH set. These changes are now active in the other pages. The changes were to Kuwabara (once per turn and unbanning the card), Tiger Scream (Byakko only and unbanning the card), and Spirit Gun (Yusuke only and changed to Enhance).

As of Sept 21, 2022, a single change was made for the YYH set, banning Kuwabara. This has since been reversed with the Oct 14, 2022 CRD.

And finally, below is the Jan. 2021 CRD which includes quite a few Yu Yu Hakusho cards. Note that some of these changes have been reversed/changed since then.
