I recently finished watching Yu Yu Hakusho and in that there was a fight
between Jin and one of Yusuke's fathers friends, where the opponent said that
"I had a chance to fight with your father the thunder god!" and then goes to a
flashback where they show him fighting with a guy looking just like his father

I then did some searching around in the internet and when I search for
"Thunder god Yu Yu Hakusho" I still get Yusuke's dad, so is Raizen the thunder
god? then does that mean Yusuke and Jin are half brothers??? can anyone help
me get clarity on this? thanks in advance!

question
yu-yu-hakusho
Are Yusuke and Jin half brothers?


I think I found the episode you were talking about: _Episode 107: The Demon
World Tournament Begins_. The episode includes the battle between Jin and
Soketsu, one of Raizen's old friends. According to the subtitles on
Funimation's site, Soketsu never mentions Jin's father. There is a flashback
to a fight between Raizen and Soketsu, however. Soketsu mentions that Jin is
tenacious just like he was when he fought Raizen. Jin and Soketsu go on to say
they both want to fight the son of Raizen (Yusuke). This wiki page mentions
that Soketsu erroneously calls Jin the son of Raizen in a variant of the
English dub: <http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Souketsu>.

So, Jin is not really the son of Raizen. This is just an error in translation.
Even if he was, he wouldn't be Yusuke's brother (or half-brother). Yusuke and
other characters call Raizen Yusuke's father, but he actually isn't. Raizen is
Yusuke's ancestor, not his father.

**Conclusion: Jin and Yusuke are not brothers**
