The Bount arc (bleach) and the Chapter Black (Yu Yu Hakusho) begin the same way. Ichigo and friends are attacked by unknown enemies on the orders of Kisuke Urahara (ichigo's mentor). Yusuke and friends are attacked by unknown enemies on the orders of Genkai (Yusuke's mentor). The Bount Arc is not canon it is not he Bleach Universe it is the Bleach anime universe. So no Kubo did not do this.

The Lost Substitute Shinigami arc (bleach) and the Chapter Black (Yu Yu Hakusho) main antagonist were their predecessor Kūgo Ginjō (bleach) and Shinobu Sensui (YU YU Hakusho).

This is a trope used in many stories and it is not central to Yusuke. You only have to look at Fairy Tail leader fighting a former leader. Black Adam and Captain Marvel etc etc Honestly these are very paper thin comparisons!!

Three different worlds. Bleach Has Human world, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo. Yu Yu Hakusho has Human, Spirit, and Demon Worlds. Wrong, Bleach has Hell which was introduced in the first Arc!! Bleach also now has the Soul Palace which is a separate place to the Soul Society!!

Ichigo is a human (Human world), Father is a Shinigami and He is a Substitute Shinigami (Soul Society), and He has an inner Hollow (Hueco Mundo). Yusuke is a human (Human Worlds), he is a Spirit Detective (Spirit World), and his father is a demon (Demon World). No, Ichigo is a Human who would never have went to Soul Society only he met Rukia!! Also Ichigo has no connections to the Soul Palace or to Hell!!

Ichigo does not and has never had a girlfriend in the entire series, he actually has several female characters he is quite close to!!

Seriously there is no copying here, there might be inspiration but that is not the same as the worlds are completely different!! Someone, regrettably, told me to watch YYH because said was like Bleach and it wasn't it was awful!! A Spirit Detective oh how Dull!! The only similarity is that they are Spiritual worlds but thats it!! The races are completely different and the characters and stories!! Bleach does not have a pointless "tournament" that Ichigo had to win!! I can see more similarities between Yu-Gi-Oh and YYH than it and Bleach!!
