IT ISN'T EVERY DAY THAT YUSUKE'S FIRST CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE INVOLVES HELPING THEM SORT OUT THEIR PROBLEMS. It's probably a good thing that Jimmy had confided in him about not knowing whether he'd died or not and being worried about being a bad person because of how similar his world is to Hell, because if he'd tried to talk to him about something more mundane like... I don't know, relationships or something, Yusuke would've been approximately ten times more uncomfortable and, as a result, probably a lot less sensitive in the way he responded. As it is, he was a little taken aback by the SUDDEN DELUGE OF FEELINGS (and a little weirded out, too, because neither he nor most of the people he knows would open up to a stranger like that), but the subjects of death and feeling like a shitty person are personal enough to him that he got over it pretty quickly, and in retrospect, he's actually kind of glad Jimmy talked to him about it, if only because it meant that he got the opportunity to try to help him out with it.
He meant what he said to Jimmy, too: he genuinely does think that Jimmy seems like a good person, and while there are several things about Miseryville that he majorly side-eyes (LUCIUS), the fact that Jimmy's able to find happiness in such an awful place is something he finds admirable. After all, strength isn't always about being able to lay someone out with a single punch - more often than not it's just about being able to keep your head up in the face of adversity, which is a quality that Yusuke sees in Jimmy. He hopes that Jimmy sees that in himself, too, and that he won't let anyone convince him that he's no good because of where he comes from or how he feels about it. If he does, Yusuke will give him a Shounen Hero "Fuck Your Insecurities" Speech so long and loud and vehement that his ears will ring for days. BI
TL;DR: YUSUKE THINKS JIMMY IS COOL AND THAT HE SHOULD FEEL COOL (OR ELSE). He would not be averse to becoming friends with him. Or telling him more scary ghost stories, because he's a good audience. Muahahaha.
YUSUKE --> CHIHIRO
At this point, Yusuke hasn't really developed any strong opinions or feelings about Chihiro! He seems nice, though, if not extremely nervous and jumpy. Yusuke is pretty confident that he's taking good care of those Pokemon he sold him a while ago.
(Also, he totally thinks he's a girl. So, you know. THERE'S THAT. Whoops.)

What a good kid. Yusuke doesn't know a lot about Gon's life back at home, but what he does know is that he likes his attitude. He's got gumption and energy and determination, and he doesn't let life get him down. That said, Yusuke occasionally wonders whether or not Gon's... all there, sometimes. It isn't necessarily Gon's optimism in of itself that gives him the impression that he's a little, uh, out of touch with reality, because you can totally be optimistic and still have a clear understanding of what's going on around you - it's that he can literally get kidnapped to another world and not be even a little bit disturbed by it. Like, seriously, your response to waking up in some crazy lady's house should be to freak out and maybe punch her out, not get all excited about going on an adventure with the weird animal said crazy lady gave you. What even.
SO YEAH. Yusuke is a little Unsure about him in that regard. Other than that, though, he thinks Gon's great! He likes hanging out with him and sparring with him, and he definitely plans to try to get to know him better now that he's back in Goldenrod for the time being. LET'S MAX OUR SOCIAL LINK, GON. LET'S DO IT. o7

SUPER FOND
Seriously though, Yusuke doesn't dislike her. I'd say his feelings on her are more mixed than anything else, because on the one hand, they had that scuffle at prom, which was kind of unpleasant (can't a guy try to foist alcohol off on unsuspecting people without some crazy bird-faced lady practically snatching his ear right off his head)...
... but on the other hand, she tried to help him out when he was kind of majorly losing his shit a couple months back, which... yeah. While he was too angry at everything to appreciate it at the time, in retrospect he acknowledges that that was actually a pretty cool thing for her to do, particularly since he hasn't really done anything to deserve it. He isn't used to receiving help from people outside of his very tight-knit group of friends from home, so the fact that Heather at least made the effort has made a pretty big impression on him, and chances are, he will... PROBABLY AWKWARDLY APOLOGIZE TO HER FOR SNAPPING OFF AT HER THE NEXT TIME THEY SPEAK. Or at least thank her for trying to talk to him, because seriously, she didn't have to do that. :I

AWKWARD APOLOGIES ARE IN ORDER
Actually he could probably just be slightly polite the next time they talk and Heather would pretty much count that as an apology. Because teenagers. :Ib

You know, it's really been pretty interesting seeing Yusuke interact with Botan in a relatively peaceful setting, because before they ended up here in Johto, I don't think Yusuke ever really got a chance to properly get to know her. That isn't to say that they weren't friends before now, of course - quite the opposite! But he didn't really know much about her, and given that a pretty significant amount of their time back home was spent chasing around The Murderous Weirdo Of The Month (at least at his canon point, anyway), he didn't exactly have an abundance of time left over to ask her about her past or her interests or about anything that didn't somehow involve Spirit World. That isn't the case in Johto, though - here, the only thing they have is time, and while Yusuke is, generally speaking, the exact opposite of okay with not being put in mortal danger every other time he turns around (because he is an adrenaline junkie whose preferred method of venting his considerable spleen is punching), he's at least grateful for the fact that being here has given him the opportunity to learn more about her - even the things that aren't exactly pleasant.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT: Yusuke really wishes Botan wouldn't get so down on herself. At the risk of repeating what I've already said on Plurk recently, the fact that Botan feels like she's an outsider bugs the hell out of him, because in his humble opinion, it makes no sense for a person as genuinely kind as she is to worry about no one wanting them around. He's glad she told him about her feelings, though - not just because talking about them probably took a pretty hefty weight off her shoulders, but because now he can help her turn her way of thinking around. Yusuke might give her crap about being annoying, but he genuinely cares a lot about her and her well-being, so it's important to him to see to it that she gets on the path of loving herself as much as he and the rest of their dumb motley group of friends love her.
Aside from that... well. I think I've said this at least once or twice before, but I feel like it's important to emphasize just how significant of a figure Botan is in Yusuke's life. I mean, if it weren't for her, he probably would've never gone to his wake and agreed to going through with the resurrection trial. Without her proposing the idea of going to his wake and then just kind of... UNCEREMONIOUSLY FUCKING OFF before he could argue with her (thus forcing him to choose between going to the stupid wake and floating around aimlessly for hours on end), he would have never even considered the possibility that anyone gave a shit about him, and the fact that she opened his eyes to that...
... well. Needless to say, it means a lot to him. Botan saved his life in more ways than one, and that's something he's not gonna forget. He's also immensely grateful to her for having his back after the train wreck that was the Sensui case - he's not gonna admit it anytime soon, but being betrayed by Spirit World really sucked, so he really appreciates her support. Even if he's been, uh, kind of bad about showing it. SORRY FOR RUNNING AWAY FOR FOUR MONTHS AND BARELY GIVING YOU ANYTHING BY WAY OF A HEAD'S UP BEFORE LEAVING. It wasn't personal. :I
YUSUKE --> MAKA
Yusuke doesn't know Maka super well, but from what he's seen of her, she seems pretty cool! She's tough and she's spunky and she's from a world with spooky shit, which are all things he appreciates. His only major beef with her so far is that she still hasn't sparred with him. C'MON, MAKA, LET'S PUNCH EACH OTHER ALREADY.
