I don't get why does Naraku need Tetsusaiga so badly when he has so many other options. It's just cheap using Kohaku as a tool to fight everyone else, I hope someone kill Naraku soon.

It's quite simple : If Naraku steals the Tetsusaiga, InuYasha will be left powerless against him.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Interesting episode, Naraku is one sick bastard turning Sango's own brother against her. Naraku has placed Sango in a very tough predicament. It was a very good episode.

I was thinking, what if Naraku were to steal the Tetsusaiga and then put shekan jewels on it. The weapon would become more destructive than what it already is.

Also, perhaps Naraku knows more about the weapon than what Inuyasha does.

I'd really love to see Naraku dead in the next few episodes, but it'll probably have to wait a whole more time. I just loathe him both as a character and an antagonist, he's just so excessively boring... should this anime not get Sesshoumaru/Kikyo plot back any time soon, I'll probably drop it.

Sango fell right into the obvious trap. But I can understand it, since it's her brother that is the bargain.

Kohaku situation is pretty darn sad. He's no more than an empty shell now :/

Wow, Naraku's a bastard!

As if all he's done to Sango weren't enough now he has turned Kohaku into a HUMAN SLAYER!

(Imagine if they'd developed this plot throughout more episodes... Inuyasha and the others would come across rumours of someone relentlessly murdering entire villages, then Sango would recognize the technique and start to freak out)

I hope Sango will realize that Naraku's puppet isn't her brother anymore.

This was a good episode. Not one of the very best, but it had an interesting, emotional plot, and some very good action scenes, to make it an overall winner.

Damn naraku really wants to anger Sango, first killing her clan, then using her younger brother against her, misleading her against inuyasha, and now using her dead younger brother again.

Wow, Naraku really is an evil piece of shit, truly terrible. I hope Sango won't go with what Naraku said, otherwise it will turn out even worse.

Sango's chest has ample size :)

Damn, I guess they really can bring anyone back from the dead.

I know Kikyou was obvious since I don't think they would kill such an important character just like that.

Still, bastard Naraku for continuing to do this.

And it's funny how the more Naraku appears, the more his voice clears and the way he deceives people.

I have been playing FFVII Remake and I really can't get Sephiroth's voice out of him. Same VA (Toshiyuki Morikawa).

Man, you definitely don't want to be born as a peasant in the Inuyasha world. You may think it's gonna be peaceful like any other day, and then suddenly your entire village gets killed by a brainwashed halfdead child.

so naraku feels threatened by inuyasha's tetsuyaga so he's doing his dirty manipulations again, i won't say he isn't smart but if sango will read his moves right she will understand what his weak point his by asking that, she needs to understand that if she will really bring to naraku the tetsuyaga she actually giving away their strong weapon against naraku.

i just realized that in that night when kohaku killed their family, naraku knew they are both still alive, but pretended to burry them both in hope to manipulate them both.

She... she won't do it right? I mean no one could be that stupid, Naraku basically lies every time he opens his mouth.

Sota is a nice brother. Kagome is fortunate to have a caring sibling like that.

Tbf you wouldn't want to be a peasant anywhere in the real world before the 20th century, especially if it's in Asia. Idk about other places but in the Indian subcontinent stories of entire small villages being wiped out due to an outbreak of a contagious disease like cholera and diarrhoea were common at least up until the middle of the 20th century. If it wasn't disease then poor crop harvest would also create famine which would lead most of the rural population to starve to death. Not to mention bandits and pirates genociding entire villages doing whatever they want. Since most people back then were illiterate they'd probably link these events to demons or the wrath of evil gods which Inuyasha takes inspiration from.
