• Dragon Ball Z - Both shows have famously long power up sequences and training montages that take place mostly off screen. That and DBZ is kinda the seminal work of Shonen.
• Naruto - Besides both being shonen, these shows can bond over having tournaments in lieu of plot.
• One Piece - One Piece feels a lot like what Yu Yu Hakusho could have been if it had continued to have a plot. If you watched the first bit of Hakusho and really liked it, One Piece is for you.

Personal Opinions

Linall

Shonen straight to the core, I think the only reason I even remember Yu Yu Hakusho is that it eventually abandons any pretense of having a plot and rolls with back to back tournaments until it was canceled. Which is a shame, because what I suppose you could call the training arc was actually fairly watchable. I remember actually being fairly concerned the first time Yusuke missed with his one hit wonder and for being a cliché given form Kuwabara was surprisingly funny. The problem was that the first tournament ended and then like two episodes later the cast was gearing up for a second one and I didn't even know why.
