I have to say Miroku's air void is not something that can be taken lightly^^ Even strong demons can't withstand that suction :) At least no one who sucked in the void and Miroku doesn't look like an enemy :D

Man, he's strong! But I hope that Inuyasha could be stronger than him later on in the storyline

Honestly, I'd rather them be equal or at least similar in strength throughout the series. But, considering Inuyasha is (half) demon, Miroku could only keep up for so long I'd imagine. Really likable character, though. The only complaint I have is that he was somehow able to ride a bicycle...

Yes, Miroku finally enters the scene! It was cool how he didn't suck Kagome into the wind tunnel. I guess he's a nice guy after all. I loved Kagome's reaction at the end there. And it was cute to see Inuyasha get jealous ^^

Funny episode, glad that Miroku debuted. Very interesting, Miroku's power is very interesting and powerful. Decent episode. It was funny seeing InuYasha get jealous of Miroku, he definitely sees him as a threat.

I like how this one talks more about the time lap and how when the jewel broke up it did affect time.

Haha, that pervert monk is pretty hilarious. He's just looking for the booty ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But the problem is that he looking for Kagome precious booty :/

So they cleared up that confusion about the disparities between Kikyo and InuYasha pretty quickly. Kinda weird to not know what your nemesis looks like x)

My previous guess about the plot between Inuyasha and Kikyo was so on point. I'm so proud of myself LOL. It's a shapeshifting demon. Wow.

A decent episode. Some of Miroku's womanizing was annoying, and the beginning bit was kinda boring, but things picked up nicely. Great action scene as well as some good humorous parts.

Damn, quite a lot of fanservice this episode. Seems like that guy is joining the gang, that's great, his personality is cool. Inuyasha's story connects now, so that's what happened, it was that demon who tricked Kikyo by transforming into Inuyasha.

Ah a mention of the true enemy.

This new guy acts pretty funny, bit of a weird monk, nice addition to the crew I must say

If Naraku truly wanted the Shikon Jewel for himself, why didn't he seize the jewel from Kikyou before she took it with her to the afterlife? I mean she was already mortally wounded, taking it would have been easy enough.

Japs are so weird. It’s illegal to draw genitals in Japan, unless of course it’s a little boy. Bunch of creeps.

So we now have a new member. Miroku.

A freaking perver monk/presit XD

So now, Naraku is probably the person that hurt Kikyo and not Inuyasha.

And shut the fuck up about Japan banning drawn genitals. You can blame the baka gaijin Americans for that. If you saw their older Revolution work. It's full of uncensored art with demon tentacles and all.

US are the ones that force Japanese to pass a law for banning these kind of arts. Since after World War II.

They can easily reverse the ban, but unfortunately the politicians are just old and corrupt scumbags that they are. There have been a lot of push against it (like the Love Hina creator etc).

But unless the older politicians take action, It will never pass.

So whenever you come across censored genitals on Doujin, Manga and other works. You can thank Americans for that one.

You only get uncensored ones if they bring the IP outside of Japan. Like Eroges like Starless, H-Manga etc.

Miroku, a lecherous Monk. Like more pevy Chichiri from Fushigi Yuugi.

So although the hole in his hand is a curse, he is able to use it to his advantage. A very interesting power.

I hope they will use it for interesting fights, like when Kagome used the "sit" command to force Inuyasha to duck in episode 8.

so we got introduced to miroku, he was never my favourite character but he's much better than shippo and have interesting development over the series.

the episode also moved to talk about naraku, and the truth about inuaysha's betrayal may be unfold.

01:46 "KAGOME, are you alright now?"

MIROKU is a hypocrite, but fun to watch.

Wait... wait! That isn't black hole. That's a vacuum cleaner.

17:18 "Kill him after all!"

So, NARAKU is the face/form changing demon who is behind all this.
They have something in common now.

Miroku's debut! He's a lecherous teen. I heard some crack theories that Miroku is an ancestor of Ataru Moroboshi but so far he wasn't half as lecherous as Ataru. So, we'll see.

Finally, the big bad has been name-dropped. Going to take a long time till he truly shows up, I'll bet. But at least the plot is more than "we must find all the shards by travelling the world and defeating the monster of the week" now.

I wonder if we'll see more of Kikyo.

Thought we would be waiting longer than one episode to discover who tricked InuYasha and Kikyo.
