| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, it was far better than the last episode but still things went too fast and they did not follow the manga's story line. It would have been more dramatic if Sesshomaru would have been the one traped inside Mouryoumaru's arm, as in the manga. Next episode seems promising but maybe I'll disappoint me. |
| Wow, if I hadn't read the manga beforehand, I would have been totally lost during this episode. Kinda disappointing that Sesshoumaru wasn't there, but since they sped up the plotline of him getting Meidou, then I guess it would have been a little pointless for him to be there...? Whatevs, Byakuya is finally here so it's all good. lol I love the wavy old guy that'll be in the next episode. He was so funny in the manga. |

bwahahachick said: Kinda disappointing that Sesshoumaru wasn't there Well, not exactly. He's in the beginning at least. Inuyasha needs a stronger sword from "ryuu rin" because of last time. Kouga's troop got attacked, one of the boys received shikon no kakera from a youkai seems like Naraku. He is now attacking Kouga for his shikon no kakera. Inuyasha needs to defeat the monster with ryuu rin protection? That guy, with the ryuu rin at right, there also needs the power of "ryuu rin" At the end, he got it first and is fighting against Inuyasha. That guy is "controlled" by the power. That boy is back to that monster, followed by Kouga. Kouga is going to fight against the monster that attacked his troop. His brother, however, caught by another new born monster that flies. That guy is completely covered by ryuu rin and Inuyasha's Tessaiga power is weakened. He thought he's winning, but he's completely covered by ryuu rin and broken. The power in that sword transferred in Tessaiga. They saw two of Kouga's friends so the group decided to follow them. Mouryoumaru got the monster with the boy's brother. Kouga is in pinch, so Inuyasha came to help. Shikon no kakera controlled Mouroumaru's arm, so Kagome shoot the arrow. lol, Inuyasha and Kouga even have time for argument! Byakuya, the name of that youkai who gave the boy Shikon no kakera, is Naraku's new clone. He, as ordered by Naraku, only watched and reported the result. |

| I like the pacing of this series, it would have taken weeks to power up tetseiga in the old series. The fight against Toshu could've been better, though, there really wasn't any suspense to it. Oh well, I guess that's one of the trade-offs for the quicker pace... That may come from the title of the episode revealing the outcome, too. |
| Is there another word for synonym? |
| I hate the pacing of this show. I haven't read the manga so I feel like I'm missing a good deal of information. It would have been much better if they had made this episode into 2 episodes. |
 |
| meh oh well, it IS a super condensed series... |
  |
| Yeah I can't believe we waited this long only to have a series so rushed that it's becoming unenjoyable to some people. Kind of a letdown. |

It might be rushed at the beginning but maybe this pace will end when it nears to the final confrontation. After all the end did take sizable number of chapters on the manga. |
| It's interesting Inuyasha has a double-edged sword. o: |
 |
| This episode was much better than the last episode, IMO, but it's still wayyy too fast. I would've been totally lost if I had not read the manga... But who knows? Maybe the pace will slow down if the directors realize they're ahead of schedule or something. The fight with Moryomaru was a bit anti-climatic, but meh, they had to speed it up... Besides, there are better fight scenes that have yet to come. :D |
| Jesus can this anime Slow the hell down? why so fasted paced? |
| yes... little changes... at this rate... maybe... its fun to see someone fliying on a paper plane xD(or its a gruya?) goraishi is being more usefull than i remember... meido is developing too slow i remember it being at 50% when sessho killed 3 random ogres pace is still rushed, but i am getting used to it or its slowly slowing down ok ryuguu tessaiga adquired, now it needs the service pack 1 and it will be fine and yes, the old guy we are gonna met was really funny in the manga |
| the first season run for 271 eps and the 2nd can't even get more than 26? The story is jumping all over the place and they are rushing things way too fast without given any detailed plot. |
| hi |
| Well, i have to put up with how this anime is made .__. one point in favour for the appearance of Byakuya of the illusions but still ._. |
 |
| Well, it wasn't that fast this time. Almost. I hope they slow down when they finish all these powerups and set the stage for the finale, I'm still happy to be watching it again and trying so hard not to be so let down for the pacing. As long as anyway, here's hoping they slow down. EVENTUALLY! |

I'm also eagerly awaiting I still think that they're just speeding through the first bit to get all the powerups/minor plot things out of the way so that they can focus on the big stuff for the remainder of the series. I have no idea why they limited themselves to only 26 episodes when the show could easily have enough revenue/fan base to make a longer season. =/ Ah welll, I can't complain since I'm excited just to see this last bit animated. |
| Wow..I don't remember Kouga having those Freddy Krueger fingers @__@ |

KayChan4U said: Wow..I don't remember Kouga having those Freddy Krueger fingers @__@ Haha, yeah it was only in the manga...and even then they didn't end up doing much. :P Perhaps in the anime he'll have a bigger role to play. |

| oh well. seems like i am already forgetting what i read in the manga so this episode was slightly better than 3. sad that it'll just be a series to watch as a fan but it won't be fulfilling... .-. |
| is it just me or does everyone's weapon seem to suddenly be able to absorb energy and throw it back at the enemy? |
| For me, everything developed faster than it usually does, and there was random scene jumps that kind of made it hard to follow along. |
| Naraku is just the worst. Now he plans to throw Mouryoumaru under the bus. What a sleeze!!! |

| Better than last episode. A new sword skill for Inuyasha. |

 |
| Wow the pacing feels so fast. From what I remember the original was slow af. |
| I wish it wasn't so fast paced...This is one of my absolute favorite anime, I wish they hadn't condensed The Final Act so much... But I still love InuYasha! Maybe I should read the manga. It's too bad that Tetsuiga now absorbs InuYasha's energy when he uses it...But is it only when he uses the dragon scale form? I sure hope so. xP |
| Naraku new incarnation have the power of... origami! .... That sound pretty stupid. |

| Oh geez! I'm thankful that I'm not the only one that is lost in the pacing of this show. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Another inarnation... so wow, much new. And another upgrade to Tessaiga? What's with all these powerups that everyone's getting? I mean it would be completely fine if they didn't happen in like 3 episodes next to each other :'D Oh well, I just hope we can finally get to the last arc soon. Also, Goryomaru or whoever is lame... The kid at least had a better personality, not just this nothing :/ |
 |
| Nice to see Koga and Inuyasha have gotten stronger weapons, too bad that Inuyasha's newest upgrade is basically a double edged sword. Looks like Naruku has a new incarnation, wonder how many more there will be or that Byakuya will be the last |
 |
| the pace of the anime was really too much, left aside inuyasha found that swordsmith too fast, but his battle against him just didn't have the "meat" we needed to get, and then he just got to another fight in no time and felt the same, the anime should be slowed down a little, seriously. so naraku has created replacement for kagura, though i wish to see more of naraku's plans than his creations. |
| I gave them props for killing off Kagura in the 2nd episode, but I take that back. They simply replaced her with a slightly more annoying male version with the same abilities lol |
| 13 chapters this time. I should add that even though The Final Act is adapting a bunch of chapters together, it doesn't mean it's adapting all of them in order. But I guess that should be expected. When I started The Final Act this isn't what I expected. I thought the anime would just cut to the final arc of the series and that's it, instead of stitching together a bunch of chapters from the 21 volumes that it couldn't adapt properly. Sesshomaru learns a new move and Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga gets an upgrade. Looks like I was wrong about the subplot about that demon who disguised as a girl in the last episode. The Dakki he had did have some significance to the plot. But it happened so fast I couldn't tell what was important to the plot and what wasn't. Seems like Tetsusaiga will get another upgrade in the next episode. That's so fast compared to the original story where he'd use the same abilities for a long time. Naraku's currently lacking in subordinates with the death of Hakudoshi and Kagura. So I guess it was time for creating a new incarnation. Not bad but I doubt he'll receive any meaningful development that will make me care about him. I think Hakudoshi should've been kept alive instead of his half-assed betrayal plot. That little shit was menacing. |

| Only natural for Inuyasha to get an upgrade for his Tetsusaiga right after Sesshomaru gets one for his Tenseiga. Should be interesting to see where Naraku takes his plans now that Kagura and Hakudoshi are out of the picture. It'll probably have something to do with the drawbacks of the new abilities of the Tetsusaiga. I believe Naraku only has 3 subordinates now. Kanna, Moryomaru and this new guy. |
