I think so far they have been trying to recruit friends for the team but all the members should be in soon :D Miroku would proved useful in beating strong demons :) I didn't know the Shikon shards can bring paintings to life but it shows here :P

Apparently the shards can give even a human some powers...

Very interesting episode, that lead me to two conclusions. First Miroku will probably become an important friend, part of a possible team; second, I believe that the artist may by the inspiration for Naruto Shippuden´s Sai.

Yeah, i could see that as far as inspiration for Sai. I always thought his ability was one of the coolest powers in Naruto, just to put that out there.

As far as Miroku being a part of the "team", I think that's pretty obvious. He's already my favorite character, btw.

This was the worst episode yet. That artist guy was pretty freaky, and lol at how he died. He just assumed the ink would merge with him.

I actually like how things didn't go as he expected. So many games/anime show ridiculous things like that and it's nice to see it actually backfire for once.

Wow I didn't notice it at first but now that youmention it the hell painter does have similar powers to Sai. Though I have to say Sai is much cooler.

Alright episode, I'm glad InuYasha and Miroku are now working together. That was an interesting power being able to paint demons, it definitely must have influenced Kishimoto when making Sai and his powers. I'm glad at the end that Kagome realized that InuYasha isn't all bad and that he's definitely developing and changing.

People die in horrible ways in that show. That painter has been basically sucked of all his blood... That was awesome. It also always make laugh to see all those soldiers get killed. Poor them, they are so expendables.

Kagome is slowly starting to get a fanclub : Mikoru, Shippou, the classmate dude and even InuYasha, even if he's being tsundere about it.

Well that was dumb lol. The artist died anyways and not much of fight was put on .__. I was half expecting the ink to devour his blood and then go demon crazy but oh well.

It's nice to see that Kagome purified the evil shard so easily -^___^- Shows how Kikyo was such a magnificent and pure priestess that even her reincarnation is just as pure :'D

I liked this episode. The premise was interesting and cool and the fight scenes were nice. I also like Inuyasha's swirly eyes when he's knocked out. However it wasn't perfect, he was pre annoying.

So jewels fragments can also be used by humans but it will corrupt them. Looks like Kagome and the rest not only have to worry about demons but also bad people

Great episode!!

Fun to see Inuyasha passed out due to the ink's strong smell and all.

The painting thing was unique. He literally could build his own army, but he is too dumb and weak to even manage it.

Looks like even normal people knows about the Jewel.

Yup, MIROKU is mature. I like it when he wanted KAGOME to hold on to the jewel fragment.

Unexpectedly INUYASHA didn't slay the human.

Why do everyone and their dog seem to know about the Shikon Jewel? Is it the eastern equivalent to the philosopher's stone? What's its origin? Who forged it?
Ig it might've become famous in 50 years since the death of Kikyo and the jewel disappeared.

Interesting concept. But if the artist wanted to bang a princess, why couldn't he just draw some bitches?

Inuyasha's ultimate weakness, ink...
Miroku is once again too cool for the group, best main character
