Wow, one of the best so far.

Even though I had read the manga, this episode kept me glued to my chair. LOL Its one of the best so far.

I loved the part where Sesshomoru and Inuyasha fought. It had been a long time since they had crossed swords.

Can't wait for next week!

LOL at Sesshoumaru protecting Kagome when we know how these two met.

Not enough drama I mean Rumiko didn't hesitated to kill Kikiyo, Kagura, Kana she even killed Rin again but couldn't bring herself to kill Kohaku who should have die and Miroku....imagine how heart breaking it would have been if these two died >:)

Anyway I love that episode Jaken/Shipou fight was so funny, and Inuyasha/Matsugi vs Sesshoumaru was awesome! I wonder if what Sess said about Inuyasha being the worse person to possess was some kind of compliment.

Loved Inu x Sesshy:D And Sesshy protecting Kagome was sweet.
And definetely Kikyo~sama saves the day again. It was need to Inuyasha remember her so he could remember Kagome.

Sango and Miroku...it could have been a great scene, but Sesshy x Inu took them the protagonism, looool.

Nice combi (kind of ) between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru at the end for defeating Magatsuhi.

Sango is so annoying. She's become so pathetic. But anyway, decent episode I suppose. Pretty predictable, though.

She annoyed me as well. during the first series, the manga and this season too. Even though I like Miroku, it would have been more interesting if either he had died or Kohaku, that would have shut her up.

If I remember correctly, it was during the time Sesshomoru was looking for the tomb of his father, and Jaken told him that Inuyasha's seal had been broken.

Sesshomoru created an illusion of Inuyasha's mother... etc And during the fight, Sess tried to kill Kagome etc.

Short and crude, but hope it helps!

lol SesshKag fans must've loved this ep, my fave part is how Kagome hung on to Sesshy's fluffy when he flew XD

I love Sango, she's one of my fave characters (I love the arc of her fixing Hirakotsu), but sometimes they do go overboard on the angst a little too much with the whole Kohaku thing, not to mention it was dragged out quite long, I like Kohaku and all, but sometimes that subplot just gets redundant and tedious (but then again, the whole Kikyou-Inuyasha-Kagome thing drags on and on too..). Kohaku and Miroku can't both die, then Sango would be devastated. I wouldn't mind if Kohaku died and Miroku lives.

As for next ep, Sango's just getting desperate.

I'm surprised Sesshomaru looked out for Kagome like that. Pretty awesome.

Man, I love Miroku, but he's being pretty stupid using his Wind Tunnel like that over and over. I hope nothing happens to Rin either. Sesshomaru would kill someone if that happened.

was sweet... maybe they will be one big happy family in the end... LOL
... and Naraku said that kagome was inuyasha's "beloved" ... although i like kagome x inuyasha, i still don't feel very convinced that inuyasha is over kikyo ... running out of time for that one.

Yeahh, I loved this part in the manga. Felt a little shorter here, but it's totally understandable - they have to make it more condensed or they won't be able to finish...

Sesshy looking out for Kagome was pretty awesome, and so was her holding onto his fluffy boa to fly. The battle between Magatsuhi-possessed-Inuyasha (MagaInu!) and Sesshoumaru was also fun to watch... As always, it's cool seeing Inuyasha regain control.

The whole exchange between Shippou, Kohaku, and Jaken was also amusing. :D

And I even love how they tried and killed all the characters who just want to live a normal life. And instead they want to keep all the characters who want to die so bad. This is just why. As for Kagome, I think it is better if she just shut up and be quiet the whole time, this way her character could look a little better.

Why is this episode so awesome? All I saw was a bunch of plot devices during the Sesshomaru x Inuyasha x Magatsuhi fight, and the total absence of Sango's Hiraikotsu hax when she needed it most. Dragon scaled Tetsuaiga is probably one of the most convenient abilities ever. They didn't really explain it well enough, so it can do anything whenever Inuyasha needs help the most (since he's pretty incapable of relying on any semblance of a brain to get anything done).

We're how many episodes from the end, and Kagome is yet to figure out why her powers are sealed? What's the point in her presence at all if she could only do anything when God Kikyo was "alive?"

And then the parade of totally worthless characters are charging in to be held as hostage bait for Naraku.

There isn't a single smart person on the "good" side besides Sesshomaru. They all need to die.

edit: I also love that the OP messed with the poll options and "hated it" is at the top.

well atleast now sango knows how it is to die because of the kazanna(while being the one cursed, not the one sucked by the cursed guy :P) but really its not that tragic, its like being sucked by meido zangetsu ha, and she has already seen that skill, and we yet dont know where the kazanna takes you to(probably) while meidou take you directly to hell

yes stupid characters make stupid things T_T



poor rin waking up in a strange place, see a giant evil face and then attacked by youkai inu, then sees his loved sessho and gets sucked, thats really his worst day ever!

btw if you ask why isnt naraku just killing all of them
because he can just spread miasma all over the good guys


thats all, until next ep!

Wow, that was one of the best episodes yet. They have seriously gotten better as the series has progressed. Inuyasha vs Sesshoumaru is always exciting; very much a heated fight. And the Sesshoumaru/Kagome interaction was a nice turn of events. Always liked that part, anyway. I'm pretty sure the ample amounts of Sesshoumaru made this episode amazing.

phew, fortunately inuyasha didn't do anything to rin, but i hope they can find her later T-T.
haha loved the fight between shippo and jaken XD, but why they went there, it's not safe at all :(.
hoooo a fight between inuyasha and sesshoumaru, but inuyasha possessed is not the same :(. wiiiii die magatsuhi never come baaaaack, finally sesshoumaru killed him i never understand why it was so difficult hehe.

I don't get all the Sango hate that has suddenly cropped up. For much of the first season she was one of the most effective fighters in the group, but in recent episodes both she and Miroku are somewhat distracted by love and worry more about protecting the other person than getting the job done. That's totally understandable. Seeing the horrific way that Miroku's father died, and knowing that the same thing could happen to him at any moment is bound to make her a little emotional.

But a fine episode all in all. Looks like this is going to be a great ending to the series.

What the heck is everyone doing? I thought we were supposed to take Naraku down together but everyone is running of on their own. Miroku and Sango please be rational, if you're by yourselves I get the feeling one of you will die :(

I don't really get how or why Magatsuhi was forced out of Inuyasha's body when he summoned the demon vortex but as long as he's dead I can look past it .

Now Sesshomaru has restored his pride by destroying the one who called him "weak" xD So now that he's dead Kagome's sealed powers should start working again. Hooray, let's celebrate with a shower of arrows Kagome!

Amazing episode T_T My favorite parts of this episode were when Sesshomaru was fending off the demons until Kagome woke up, and then when Kagome was riding on Sesshomaru's fluff. xD I LOVE how Sesshy actually seems to have a heart now, and he interacts with and protects people. Something he would never have done before. Sesshomaru has had more character development than any other character of any other anime I've ever seen. He's my favorite character T_T

And that illusion of Miroku's father was sad. It effected Sango and made her worry for Miroku. Poor Sango =(

InuYasha's Meido Zangetsuha just conveniently opened a hole in the giant spider right as Kohaku, Jaken, Shippo, and Ah-Un approached it. xD

What a good action-packed episode. I liked the scene where in response to Magatsuhi, Sesshomaru denies hating Inuyasha, and rather feels nothing towards him. Of course, he'll never say anything positive about his half-brother, but he'll work alongside him when it matters most, like a true brother.
