Preview from previous episode

Hakudoshi released a stampede of zushi rats. And Kohaku appears near him!

Let the rats spread and attack villages. This country is now facing the fate of being eaten up.

Unexpectedly, the rats are gathering!

This is mayose, a method of gathering demons and destroying them all at once. It can’t be done without strong holy powers.

Next on Inuyasha, "Stampede of Countless Demon Rats".

Is Kikyo near...?

InuYasha’s Jar

#158 Zushi Nezumi 厨子鼠 [ずしねずみ]

Quotes

Inuyasha really is a troublesome guy! Always wagging his tail and running after women of his past. If you feed a dog for three days, he'll never forget the favor...

Who's feeding who here?

 

Kikyo... wasn't there.

You don't have to lie.

Why would I have to lie about it, you idiot?

Sit.

Damn you...!

Sit. And to think I was being considerate about letting you go alone! Sit! You could at least tell me what you talked about! Sit! I was just worried you'd do something stupid, but you're so stubborn! Sit!!

 

Oddities and Other Notes

Oddities

How could Kagura find the same clothes for Hakudoshi three times in a row?

Did you notice…?


"You understand now, you two-timing dog?"
…Shippo holding onto Inuyasha's hair to prevent it from flying into his face?

[ ACT I ]

(in progress)


[ Preview for next episode ]

Just to lure Kikyo out... do you know how many villagers have been destroyed?!

If you meet that person, tell her... as long as she runs away from Naraku, the same thing will keep happening.

Kohaku! You'll be devoured by the rats!

I'm sorry, Sister... But I have to obey orders!

Next on Inuyasha, "Kohaku's Resolution and Sango's Heart".

I can't drag this any longer... I have to defeat Naraku!
