This episode was more comedic than the last 2 episodes which I think was a good thing. I like Takahashi's brand of comedy and I'm glad they didn't completely ditch it in The Final Act.

That being said, a rushed episode is still a rushed episode. It adapted 9 chapters from various parts in the manga and I don't get if certain parts of it were really necessary, like that demon who disguised himself as a girl to trick Shippo. That entire part could've been cut and nothing would be lost. That time could've been used to develop Sesshomaru's relationship with Kagura. To a non-manga reader like me, it doesn't make much sense why Sesshomaru suddenly cares so much about Kagura, who previously kidnapped Rin and caused much pain.

I'd take bad slow pacing over bad fast pacing any day.

I did enjoy Kagome trying for high school entrance exams. Glad they didn't cut the modern-day parts.

So much happened in the previous 2 episodes and now all of a sudden we get this weird filler kind of episode.

But what's important is that the Tenseiga finally gets an upgrade and now Sesshomaru will be able to use it offensively. Quite convenient since he just lost Tokijin. I did kind of see this coming because I watched the Black Tessaiga ova.

Also, it is a nice touch to see Sesshomaru repeatedly contemplate Kagura's death, showing that it did have a lasting impact on him. He may not have shared the same feelings that Kagura had for him but he does greatly respect her and feel sympathy, along with knowing full well that Kagura had changed for the better.

Fun episode. Jakken has really grown on me over the series as a comedic relief character. That "so cool" caught me off guard at the end lol...
