Started watching Yu Yu Hakusho on blu ray now, about 10 years after I first
saw it as a kid. Wondering what happens to Yusuke's various power equipment. I
recall in the first few episodes he needs some kind of ring/band that helps
recharge and focus his spirit engergy for spirit gun... then it just goes
away, at least in season 1. Does he still have them?

What happens to Yusuke's spirit/power equipment?


They're still around. Botan mentions both the [Communication
Mirror](http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Communication_Mirror) and the [Demon
Compass](http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Demon_Compass) during the Chapter
Black Saga.

The devices start to lose their usefulness as the series turns into a fighting
series. Being able to track a demon or [have X Ray
vision](http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Psychic_Spyglass) aren't terribly
useful in a fight against Toguro or Sensui. As for the ring, apparently it
[makes Yusuke severely
exhausted](http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Concentration_Ring) after he uses
it; I recall him passing out after he uses it against Gouki and needing to be
picked up and brought home by Boutan. He needed it early on when his own
spirit energy was fairly weak, but later on, after he trains with Genkai and
starts to gain power, the tradeoffs of the ring become more of a liability
than a benefit. Presumably he still has it, though, he just doesn't use it
because it's not helpful.
