<p>There is <strong>no definite answer</strong> for this question stated by the artist himself <a href="http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Yoshihiro_Togashi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Yoshihiro Togashi</a> There for we are left to interpreted it as we like. And there for there are allot of theory's of what this means. One of the most popular being the one stated by <a href="https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/3081/kakashi">Kakashi</a></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"Forever will not occur," or in other words, "nothing lasts forever." I believe that Yu Yu Hakusho was by far one of the greatest anime/manga ever written, and the artist knew that everyone watching the last few minutes of the final show never wanted it to end. But, since everything good thing must come to an end, the artist made it clear and simple. I believe this is the only anime to end with a phrase for viewers to think about, rather then simply saying "the end." </p>
</blockquote>

<p>Another very popular theory is him showing discontinuation of the series. So no more different time lines, other endings. Or any such things.</p>

<p>But just like stated in the begin there is no definite answer given by the author himself.</p>

@Kakashi Just some sort of evidence that indicates that there is no definite answer. If Dimitri had that link where the artist himself made the statement, that would be marked correct.

<p>I think he used Kuwabara to explain the meaning. When they are standing on the steps before heading to the beach, he talks about everything they all went through, and having that journey come to an end (Fornever). Then Kurama explains they can always remember the journey when they need to (Forever).</p>

<p>It's just a phrase. Forever means that Yusuke's friendship will not end but other things will have to have a bound. It's also known as a schmaltz, like leaving a caption to leave the audience feeling good.</p>

There is **no definite answer** for this question stated by the artist himself [Yoshihiro Togashi](http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Yoshihiro_Togashi) There for we are left to interpreted it as we like. And there for there are allot of theory's of what this means. One of the most popular being the one stated by [Kakashi](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/3081/kakashi)

> "Forever will not occur," or in other words, "nothing lasts forever." I believe that Yu Yu Hakusho was by far one of the greatest anime/manga ever written, and the artist knew that everyone watching the last few minutes of the final show never wanted it to end. But, since everything good thing must come to an end, the artist made it clear and simple. I believe this is the only anime to end with a phrase for viewers to think about, rather then simply saying "the end."

Another very popular theory is him showing discontinuation of the series. So no more different time lines, other endings. Or any such things.

But just like stated in the begin there is no definite answer given by the author himself.
