THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
After all these years were are only a few days from the end. WOW!

Well, the end of Naraku was not as climatic as I'm sure everyone had hoped. To be truthful, I remember that in the manga, it was nearly the same. But I think that they did a great job on the animation.

I'm also glad that they did not "reveal" a lot on the preview of next week's episode, I'm sure that fans are wishing it would be Sunday now. I know I am. I hope that they will add something extra, which is something that everyone has been waiting for. :)

Well now. That was a really good episode xD
Can't believe i am finally seeing Naraku gone - and he got used by the Shikon no Tama at the end....
talk about irony.

I am also glad that in this season Kagome had more of a central role. Even though she is the only one able to sense the jewel i was still disappointed that she didn't get to do much in the whole anime. But in this season she's been more productive and now i kind of see the point of her character existence in the whole story. Have the feeling she makes a pretty powerful miko if she studies a little bit more xD

Can't wait to see what happens in the next one.

Oh my, one more episode and this series will be over with. I am going to cry when it is over because I have watched it for so long and I love the characters. *tears*

Overall, this was a pretty good episode. I enjoyed it a lot and still can't believe this is the next to last episode.

The final battle with Naraku wasn't very epic at all and was very simple. I just thought that they should of had more action, drama, and emotion involved with Naraku & InuYasha's final battle. I wanted InuYasha to finish him off, instead of the Skikon no Tama deceiving him in the end.

When the villagers were running out on the village away from the giant miasma things, I made me think of War of the Worlds. ^^

Kagome was finally in another school outfit (even if it lasted only for 3 minutes). I really liked the high school more than the middle school outfit.

The Shikon no Tama is a jerk...that's all I have to say about that.

One more episode to go...keep your fingers crossed for a kiss. X3

I agree with everyone. I felt like the battle with Naraku was so epic, just to end so simply, but after years of fighting, then being given 26 episodes to end it all, what can the writers really do? so they made it serene instead. I am also happy Kagome played more of a part in this season because I like Kagome, not whiney Kagome, but strong, up front Kagome.
And all of a sudden the Shikon no Tama has a will. Maybe I never picked up on it until this season, but usually it's the person/demon who comes in possession of the jewel that decides its fate (usually evil). Anyways, funny how Naraku has the whole jewel and it won't grant his wish, instead uses him in the end to try to trap Kagome. I didn't see any of this coming.
Regardless of all this, I am super excited for Monday (in my time zone, I have to wait 'til Monday for eng. subs). Sad at the same time because I don't want it to end.
Ohh Inuyasha, how I'll miss you.

This, and hopefully NOT a 'love transcends time and space' ending. There's just been too many of those lately and they're just too painful/annoying/frustrating to watch... Though with that said I am prepared to be dissapoint. =(

Maaan last episode next...x_X This is gonna be so sad...Inuyasha's just so epic.

As bad as Nakaru was, I can't help but feel bad for him. He just wanted Kikyo's heart in the end. Even so, he made his choice in the end to become a monster, which was quite ugly tbh.

Sad ending for him though.

I don't remember from manga seeing Kagome's friends there when the well was gone, though.

Yup, they were there in the manga too. Said the same lines as well.

This is getting pretty fun. I think I like the anime version more for this one if only because they explained things better for why everything's happening a little better.

I think that he killed her because he knew that she would not accept him as a demon. Also, she had fallen for Inuyasha. I think that he felt jealous and decided that if he could not have her, then no one would. There could be other interpretations, but this is mine.

Naraku is a psycho. So, he thought, if he cant have Kikyo, nobody will have. She was the only one he loved, and the only one he feared.
Anyway...one ep left!

Yes, fantastic episooode~ I remember Naraku's death being like that in the manga too so it wasn't much of a shocker.

The anime has been really well done, overall. And I can't remember what Naraku's final wish was. To separate Kagome and Inuyasha? Argh. Can't remember... D<

So looking forward to the next episode, but not necessarily looking forward to it ending... Though I am in a way I guess. I actually first saw this series six years ago, and it was the first anime I ever watched... So yep. I will probably cry sometime during the last episode. :') Even though I know how the manga ends, maybe the anime will be different and deliver what we've all been waiting for?

Anyway besides the fact that I'm still disappointed in the way this new season adapted the remainder of the chapters, I can't help but still feel so happy and sad. I loved Inuyasha and it's going to be quite an ending once this is all over, I can see myself crying tissues. Can't wait<3

The one thing this series was missing for a looong time was an ACTUAL kiss between Inuyasha and Kagome. Although kinda poorly executed, a kiss is a kiss nonetheless. After all, its only fair that Kagome gets at least one after Kikyo has gotten so many.

A three episode running battle in which everyone is pushed to the limits is hardly going down easily. It's like a boss battle, it's not the final blow you strike, it's the endless smaller blows you strike before that wear them down and weaken their defenses. In the end it took the combined (and fully developed powers) of all the major combatants of the anti-Naraku forces to win out. (Although at one point I was expecting him to say: "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you interfering kids and your pet dog (demon)"....)

So the final enemy Kagome has to face is herself, her fears, and her lingering desires for a normal life...

After all this time Naraku's true wish was to have Kikyo's heart. He fooled me, all this time I thought he wanted Kikyo dead.

But now I understand. What Naraku wants and what the sacred jewel wants are two different things. There are only 2 people in the world who can purify the sacred jewel. Kikyo and Kagome.

This whole time Naraku was bent on killing Kikyo wasn't entirely because of his desire but the desire of the sacred jewel. It wanted Kikyo out of the way because it was afraid Kikyo would try to purify it and destroy it like 50 years ago.

And now that Kikyo is gone the sacred jewel is turning it's attention to Kagome. Looks like we're not out of hot water just yet. But I must say the end of Naraku was not as epic as I expected it to be.

Wait, seriously this is the final "battle"/ enemy? Ehhh. Kagome's inner conflict, really? Disappointing.

Naraku got taken down pretty easily considering they've been chasing him around of 200 episodes. Like... everyone just attacked him with their ultimate move. That was a little lame... he didn't live up to it. For defeating the final villain they're all still fairly spunky and not dying. Inuyasha didn't even use all of his techniques, some of them were completely useless and not used in the final battle. :/

Why is the shikon jewel talking. OTL

Oh well. I guess it's just for the feels at this point... the series really is centered around Kagome in the end.

I disagreed with you in ep. 23, but I'm totally with you on this one. Naraku went out like a total chump, and are they trying to make me feel sorry for him? Get that shit outta here...what is this? Disney? Naraku feels like he was never a real threat--just skilled at running away. They completely DOMINATED him--it wasn't even a fair fight! At no point did I feel like he posed a serious threat...like, wtf, seriously!?! He just accepted his death and desperately made his way to the village he couldn't let go of, to die pathetically talking about: "the jewel made me its bitch...my parting is such lame stupidity...*dead*". Fuck that. And you're right, in the end, Inuyasha just spammed his medo zangetsuha as the other techniques apparently have fulfilled their roles. This was almost as lame as the Doom fight in last year's Fantastic Four.

Naraku finally dead.

And...this is the part where it gets weird with the Shikon Jewel. Tbh I don't think I ever understood how the Bone-Eater Well disappeared, why Kagome goes inside the Sacred Jewel by going inside a Meido, and why the people on the other side can hear into the Meido, even when I read the manga before

Hopefully there will be a full explanation in the last episode but my hopes aren't high.



Yep, none of it made any sense. An increasing trend of this "Final Act" as it moves towards its conclusion.


My BIGGEST annoyance, is that the first half of this episode is pretty much exactly the same thing that happened in episode 62: "Tsubaki's Unrelenting Spirit". Kagome, caught in an illusion where she never met Inuyasha: friends, Hojo, the arrow range--only difference is it's updated and she at first has no recollection at all about her adventures in the feudal era, whereas in ep 62, she believes it all to be a dream as she progressively forgets about it. So...that was lazy. And the rest of the episode is predictable; I've just finished the series, and I gotta say, I accurately called EVERYTHING involved in this final "battle of souls". Even the shit that made absolutely no sense.

Byakuya made Meido behind Kagome's back so when Naraku is dead, the Meido will appear and absorb her as well. He stay loyal to his master and serve his last task before he die. It takes almost everyone to wipe Naraku. So Naraku wish of wanting to have Kikyou. He stays true being evil the whole time ignoring his human side. That Kagome's dream in the jewel is really good. She must be the one that could make the right wish to destroy the jewel forever. One more to go. These last few episodes have been really good.
