Lol I guess Bankotsu's just bored and has nothing else to do ^^

I find it ironic how Inuyasha's wind scar put a "scar" on Bankotsu's banryu xD So it looks like Inuyasha is already stronger than the leader. Wonder what's going to happen now.

And it's about time Kagome and the others figured out that Naraku might be hiding at Mt. Hakurei.

Well Kanna was pretty talkative in this episode, wasn't she? =P When I first watched InuYasha years ago, Kanna was one of my favorite characters.

It's so cute how Rin wants to protect Kohaku from Sesshomaru.

Maybe there is a path where the youkai can pass the barrier without being purified? It look like those youkai can't exit the cave however they want.

Sesshoumaru vs claw dude and Jankotsu. I doubt that Sesshoumaru will beat the two of them (it would be anticlimactic for him to die by the end of Sesshoumaru), but that confrontation probably mean the end of Suikotsu. He's not really an important and charismatic member of the Seven.

Good episode, InuYasha, Koga and co seem to be much stronger than the very anticipated band of 7 and Naraku lol ... being his usual self, always playing coy either using clones or if he is around eventually runs away.

This episode was okay. It was decently intense throughout, though it had some boring bits.

Bankotsu was already pretty strong, managing to block Inuyasha's Wind scar, now he's powered up with the three jewel shards

Anyway, didn't expect to see Naraku or Kanna.. :)

I like the new ED.

naraku finally made his appearance! and despite what everyone was thinking he's probably hiding himself in that mountain.

good news is, they have a lead using that scent of waters and flowers.

All of them got a match even if it wasn't satisfactory for them. Too bad the fight was cut short.

I was a bit excited to finally see Naraku again but it turned out to be a puppet. At least we got to see more of Kanna.

So Naraku is most likely holed up at Mt. Hakurei. Wonder what type of galaxy brain technique he used to hide in a supposedly very sacred site.
