Continuation: "From the afterlife, Yusuke has a chance encounter with Botan, who leads him to the spirit world. She informs him that his death was untimely and unanticipated, and due to his troubled past, no one would have expected him to perform a selfless act. Consequently, there is no place for him in heaven or hell. However, he is given a chance to return to life as an Underworld Detective after completing a trial.
