Capter 265: The Mount Hakurei cave

I don't know much about this video, other than it appears to be a trailer for an upcoming Inuyasha anime. I thought it would be cool to share as I hadn't seen it until recently.

Edit: Figures I'd find a little more info after posting, though not much. This magazine advertisement was released in the 2000s, slightly prior to the anime. Once again a link to Rumic World, if anyone wants to know more about this or other obscure Rumiko Takahashi works and adaptations.

An advertisement for the Shounen Sunday magazine. It aired in 1997, around the time of Inuyasha's manga debut.

Rumic World has more information about it for anyone curious.

Despite this, I never hear people talk about the human night. If Inuyasha's youki recedes on the night of the new moon, it comes to reason the youki he shared with Kagome would also recede. I don't care how little Kagome's senses were enhanced, adjusting to them before being stripped back to what she once knew would be jarring.

All I can think of is Onigumo?!

Everyone else:

'But the masks been destroyed' I hear you cry, and you're correct. It was destroyed. In Kagome's era. After taking the long way around. After the Noh Mask incident, there are technically two copies of the same shard in Feudal Japan. The one that is in a tree waiting to be made into a mask, and one that has existed for 500 years, travelled back in time and was used to complete the jewel. Thus there is the equivalent of an entire sacred jewel +1 worth of shards and I think it would be fun to play around with that +1.

Perhaps the Noh Mask is finally making enough of a commotion that the gang decide to check it out. Maybe its business as usual for Inuyasha and Miroku until the see the mask; Miroku's not strong enough to seal it, every time Inuyasha destroys the mask it reforms and neither of them can figure out why. Why would they even consider a shard when the jewel was destroyed? So they get the girls in the hopes that more manpower will help. Either way, as the group travels Kagome feels the familiar sensation of a jewels shard, and confusion takes hold of the group. At least until Kagome spots the mask and realisation dawns on her. Inuyasha and Sango distract the Noh Mask while Kagome and Miroku work on sealing it away, under Kagome's insistence that the mask cannot be destroyed and the shard cannot be removed. Once the mask is dealt with, Kagome takes it to remain under the protection of her and Kaede. That way both the anime and the manga versions of the story can hold true. Either the mask is given to the Higurashi shrine for protection when it is built (anime) or after Kagome passes there is no one strong enough to maintain the seal and it is passed off to another spiritualist eventually landing in the hands of the lady who is possessed by the mask (manga).

It wasn't until I was rewatching the show that I had a startling realisation. Sunrise's biggest mistake with InuKag was, intentionally or not, making Inuyasha and Kagome less mature.

I'm not sure if this is a hot take. I mean, Inuyasha's taunts about Kagome 'having a small heart' or 'not being pretty' always came across as teasing to me because they were so obviously the antithesis of how he felt. Similar to how you might expect younger men to jeer at each other as a showcase of how close they are. Kagome has less of an understanding over her emotions and less of an ability to assess a situation appropriately. As a result, she's more likely to lash out and overreact, resulting in the overuse of the sit command.

I just hadn't realised how deep the rabbit hole went until I watched 'Kagome's Voice and Kikyo's Kiss'. Specifically the ending. In the manga, after everything transpires Inuyasha and Kagome talk about it. Inuyasha explains that he can't forget Kikyo because he feels responsible for her death and suffering. He reinforces that he's not with Kagome because she reminds him of Kikyo and says that she makes him feel calm and at peace. It's sweet. It's also a showcase of how Inuyasha is able to identify his feelings and explain them to another.

In the anime the conversation never happens. Instead Miroku and Shippo end up pestering Inuyasha over which girl he'll choose. He thinks back to telling Kikyo that she's always on his mind and is clearly confused and bewildered as he states that he meant every word. In response to his friends he ends up saying 'I can't have both can I?'. His tone is more contemplative, and it's clear he's trying to figure out the answer for himself. Inuyasha is far less aware of his feelings and how they differ, if at all; He knows he cares deeply for both women but doesn't know how to deal with the situation beyond that. It takes him a while to understand his emotions and get to the point where he can explain them.

It gave us a neglectful, asshole of a father whose idea of parenting involves carting his kids across America and leaving them in the first motel he comes across. He tasks his 8 year old son with caring for said sons 4 year old brother for days at a time. If they were lucky, they would be staying in one place long enough to attend school for a week or two.

Yet somehow their mother was worse.
