What is the meaning of "Forever Fornever" at the end of the anime series?

There is **no definite answer** for this question stated by the artist himself
[Yoshihiro Togashi](http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Yoshihiro_Togashi) There
for we are left to interpreted it as we like. And there for there are allot of
theory's of what this means. One of the most popular being the one stated by
[Kakashi](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/3081/kakashi)

Another very popular theory is him showing discontinuation of the series. So
no more different time lines, other endings. Or any such things.

But just like stated in the begin there is no definite answer given by the
author himself.

It's just a phrase. Forever means that Yusuke's friendship will not end but
other things will have to have a bound. It's also known as a schmaltz, like
leaving a caption to leave the audience feeling good.

Forever, as in saying it will continue on in our hearts, and we will never
forget this journey we went on with the characters. Fornever as in saying all
good things come to an end, and no matter how much we reminisce on the good
times, it will end eventually.

I think he used Kuwabara to explain the meaning. When they are standing on the
steps before heading to the beach, he talks about everything they all went
through, and having that journey come to an end (Fornever). Then Kurama
explains they can always remember the journey when they need to (Forever).
