I'd assume it used the bodies it took over to drive? That would also explain it's troubles driving as it had trouble completely using the body.

Good episode, I found this to be a nice change of pace.

Now this is a great episode. Loved the beginning where Kagome used 10+ sit commands on Inuyasha. The poor guy ^^

That Noh mask was pretty freaky, it's gonna give me nightmares :(

Shota was pretty awesome at the end there. Way to go little bro! Oh and I also loved the little Kago x Inu moment at the end there!

I really enjoyed this episode, InuYasha is really slowly changing, it's really nice. Oh yeah, Kagome using all those sit commands on Inuyasha was hilariously mean lol. Very cute ending with InuYasha and Kagome, loved when they also played the My Will ending 1 theme song during the scene. Very great episode, I loved this episode 5/5.

How the fuck did the mask get the crystal in the first place. I mean isnt Inuyashas world supposed to be a parallel universe and not the past Japan ?

I thought it was the past in the feudal times? but the jewel had been broken back then, so how did the fragment get in the future? I wonder about the back to the future theory in this show; if they change the past wouldn't the future change?? Anyways I lol'd at the kids fail when he smacked into the bottom of the well, nice try lil' man! :D

I'm so confused by the history in this episode, when she broke the jewel did it mess with time? Because how else would the mask have it embedded in it's forehead. Otherwise an awesome episode. The mask was super creepy!!

I feel bad for that firefighter and those poor policemen. Becoming some muddy liquid doesn't seem like a great fate :|

If there was a shard in the modern days, that mean that this fragment ended up in that mask when Kagome broke the Jewel and stayed there for centuries? And the spirit just woke at that moment? Talk about some bad luck...

More cute InuKag moments. I kind of want an ep where Inuyasha goes to her school just for her freaking out and all the chaos it'd cause lmao.

Also it'd be kind of cool if this series got a "real world arc" like in Digimon Adventure. Not sure if it'll happen but I'd find that enjoyable as a break from the usual setting of the series.

I liked this episode. The plot was cool and creepy, and I like how it was set in the modern time, nice change of pace. The ending was funny too...After the big fight, Kagome remembers she has to study for her test! I love that kind of juxtaposition.

A pretty nice mini arc. First time a monster goes berserk in Kagome's world, everyone was powerless haha. Hmm interesting ending, Kagome is definitely developing feelings for Inuyasha.

A fight in Kagome's world, nice change of pace

Really looks like they are slowly falling in love.

Damn! The Noh mask always gets to me. Especially in the Japanese mythology.

It's amazing how rich Japan is when it comes to their mythology.

Not gonna lie, Inuyasha was indeed cool in the last scene :)

that was quick one, i mean, the minute inuyasha had come and slaughter that demon.

that mask reminded me the spirit in spirited away, good memories.

inuyasha start being more nicely to kagome, the chemic between them starting to bloom more.

Liked this episode. Didn't think they'd have demons run around in the normal world and make a mess or Inuyasha going around present-day Tokyo. Makes you wonder what's stopping him from coming to the present to chill and try stuff from the future that he might enjoy, like the cup ramen that he liked before.

And also, I understand that this time the fragment came from the present rather than from the past, so that should mean that the same exact fragment is still lost somewhere in the past (maybe already embedded in the tree, like the mask demon said), and they could duplicate fragments to sum up to more than one complete pearl?

And lastly, I'm quite liking Kagome so far. She has never had dumb reactions or nonsensical behaviours, she's been quite brave and quick-witted when it comes to danger. And she's kind, diligent, and, as they made clear in the anime so far, very beautiful, even though Inuyasha doesn't seem to see that.

I enjoyed this episode. I was waiting to (whatever reasons) see Inuyasha in the «real» world or at least the modern one.
Also sometimes I think this was a challenge made by Kagome just to prove if Inuyasha really liked her.

Very cool episode. It was really awesome to see Inuyasha in the modern world, especially that scene where he was riding on top of a car.

I'm surprised there will be more episodes taking place in modern day Tokyo. This will shake things up.
