Showing FukuJun's character accepting order from the enemy boss. Sakamoto-san's character's power and pearl from previous series "giving birth" to 7 pearls?

The day main girl when lost power. Granny talking about how their mother was gone after giving birth. Butterfly to that tree (both dream and real life).

FukuJun's character again. Mentioning about his "ex-owner"... meaning he is no longer enemy? He explained that he's gathering all 7 pearls to return to someone.

Last of monster working for the boss vs. FukuJun's character (he can fight). It was going to run away, but FukuJun's character got it.

Main girl likes FukuJun's character?! and gave him her pearl. Now she's regrettable about giving him the pearl.

Sakamoto-san's character vs. Monk guy next.

So that was an episode. I don't know why but the Towa & Riku interactions were just really cringey to me.

Also, Kaede, glad it only took you 20 fucking episodes to tell one of the girls about their parents. Couldn't have told them this basic information within the first 5 episodes.

Riku's motives are a little clearer this episode but I don't particularly care. Just like the rest of this show. Moroha finally gets a bounty so yay.

Next week looks pretty badass. Looks like the missing twin is going to show up.

The calm before the storm for Kirinmaru to settle the scores in proper progression.

More backstory about the Rainbow Pearls, but it seems that Inuyasha being killed in the process has birthed to 7 of them from demon Zero's ideal. It's only natural that the power of the Shikon Jewel is transferred, as is losing her demonic powers.

The Dream Butterfly makes its appearance again towards Towa, but it only shrouds more memories of Setsuna and Rin. As much as I'm concerned about Riku's mission to retrieve all 7 pearls, he's just trying to abide for time in regards to masters Kirinmaru and Zero whilst knowing what's going on. Such an enticing trickster as pirates tend to be.

Totetsu is such an annoying villain, and glad that Rika took him out and got the Yellow Pearl. And out of love...Towa gave Riku her Silver Jewel? That's gonna cause a lot of repercussions in the future, but what a joke LOLS.

Moroha is confirmed a side character, but that should be an obvious guess by now.

Zero vs. Miroku...I don't know how to feel about that.

Towa and Riku are kind of cute together in this episode. Those two have formed an interesting bond over the course of this show and we finally see it front and center this episode. We also saw some backstory about Riku, Kirinmaru and Zero. How the rainbow pearls were made from Zero tears that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru father had been killed. Riku and Towa sharing a nice moment together in the forest talking about Riku past and what hes been through. That is until Totetsu showed up to ruin the fun. Riku was ruthless cutting off his head like that, awesome moment him making an exception for killing Totetsu. Towa willingly giving up her rainbow pearl is interesting I hope that Riku doesn't use them for evil and can help the girls later on with Zero or Kirinmaru.

Man I just don't know with the anime anymore. Setsuna on the constant tells Towa she doesn't understand this Generation Yet she continues to do dumb shit like "Leave the House" or 'GIVE A CLEAR ENEMY YOUR GOD DAMN PEARL"
I just find out weird because she had so many fights with people in the present day and didn't trust anyone, now all of a sudden she trust's everyone.

Hopefully Totetsu is out now, he was annoying.

Should be interesting to see Towa vs Setsuna next week.

- I forget, but has the story actually confirmed what Riku is supposed to be? I know he called himself a doll, but is this literal or is he some other kind of magical ageless being?

- The prologue where they talk about the Great Dog Demon got me thinking about his role and origins in Takahashi's original manga. I know the Dog Demon's lore placing was pretty minor in light of the plot's greater focus on collecting jewel shards and defeating Naraku, but I wonder if Takahashi may have missed out on some potentially great past history worldbuilding. Like what sort of person was he? Why did he fall for Izayoi? How was his relationship with his legal wife, Sesshomaru's mom? Did he inherit his position or build it up from scratch? I think all this would have made for a great manga spinoff or similar that the fans would love (if handled correctly). Esp. since the closest lore expansion was that minor bit in the 3rd Inuyasha movie's intro (Inuyasha's mom didn't even have a formal name until then) but leaving the dad a cipher as he was in the original.

Ok idk what the writers been on lately, but Riku and Towa ship makes no sense to me. Why fall for the dude that’s set up and betrayed you several times at this point? Then giving away your Pearl??? I’m not gonna shit on the show like others have done, I do enjoy it. But man, at times I wonder what the point of this sequel was. The pacing has fallen off, the direction is unclear most of the times, etc.

I’ll watch anything related to Inuyasha since it’s my fave series, but I hope if this gets another season that everything is much clearer.

Can someone please tell me what kind of drugs are they using to write this episodes? I dont know if I should laught or be angry on how bad is the story going.

And why was Moroha and not Hisui the one to arrive with Setsuna?

Also to all the people that thought that Setsuna was affected by the new moon, this episode confrms that she isnt and just adds more inconsistencies in between the characters.

It's not always the new moon that triggers losing powers, for example Shiori's was shown being a lunar eclipse. It's just probably something different for Setsuna.

So we get to see how the rainbow pearls were created in the beginning of the episode. Interesting the way Kirinmaru reacts to learning of Toga's injury, not wanting to attack while he's weak. Riku also acts very differently in the past. He's much more clueless about emotions. I've kinda already excepted at this point that Towa is dumb and will always just do stupid shit so what she did here didn't really affect my enjoyment of this episode. I'm just glad Moroha finally gets her bounty.

They've already established in previous episodes that Setsuna doesn't lose her powers at the same time Towa does(the new moon).

yo what the FUCK just happened?!

WHY did they wait til these last two episodes to put so much fucking story in?!!?!?!?!!?!?!

I'm literally so mad, so much really important information has been divulged over the past two weeks, it's almost packing too much in there. And like, it's actually good story. I've always thought the story itself was good, but the stuff they showed, especially this episode, was really good. And is it just me, or did it look like the animators actually tried this episode? The fight scenes looked much better than usual. I could just be trippin but one shot that especially comes to mind is "Totetsu shows up out of the blue!!" that just seemed a lot more dynamic than usual.

I feel like I'm actually more angry now than when it was mediocre. This would have been a solid 7 if the pacing hadn't been so unbelievably god awful. And if the entire anime looked like this episode, that would easily bump it up into 8 territory. What a god damn shame.

I think the highlight of this episode was Moroha interacting with the head.

Towa likes Riku after a few chance meetings with him and then gives him the rainbow pearl knowing that he works for Kirinmaru? wtf

I loved it but the fact that Towa and Riku feelings for each other came out of nowhere and that she even gave him her pearl is unbelievable....
There are only 3 episodes left, so there must be a season 2 and if there is going to be one they better make it good. Fix the bad pacing, make the plot clear, etc...

About the episode, so we have some more clues of what happened to Rin, even though it was almost nothing. I liked the interaction between Towa and Riku, even though it was weird at some moments. At first, I thought Riku would be a Kirinmaru's creation, just like Naraku created Kagura, Kanna, Hakudoushi, etc...

But that was because of Naraku's powers, so I'm not sure Kirinmaru would be able to do something like that. Though, Riku's lack of emotions/common sense in that flashback makes it sound like he is some sort of creation.

Moroha showing up at the end was weird but at least she finally got what she wanted, hope she will be able to make some good money out of Totetsu's head.

Well, I don't care about what everyone else says. I hyped this anime and with the exception of that godawful Ep 19, I'm absolutely loving it. Specially this last two episodes.

People complain about Towa giving her Pearl to Riku. I mean, in the original sometimes Kagome would casually say "Oh sorry, they stole all my fragments, heh". I know that Inuyasha has better writing, but this is a sequel of a manga adaptation, and this time without the source to rely on. So while they might be hearing Takahashi's advices, it is still an original sequel. Not to mention all Takahashi did for this anime was the character design (and only for the three main characters iirc).

I know calling this a good show is kinda forcing, I'm not blind (even though I would say the last 2 episodes were good). But so far I'm enjoying it A LOT. If they really want to make it a long series, I'm down for it.

I know saying that sounds really stupid, but if you're not enjoying, free yourself from the weekly pain and stop watching it. Specially if a new season strikes in the future. You didn't liked (or even hated) the first, so you probably won't like the second as well. Skip it.

This episode had a Inuyasha ost. I wish there were more of those.

Towa x Riku confirmed.

I don't know if it's just me but the direction in this episode looked better than the previous episodes.

I don't know how are they gonna give InuKag enough screentime within three episodes.

Why did Zero first want to attack and kill Inuyasha's dad when he was hurt, but was then crying when he actually died? Is it like Zero was in love with him, and then Riku is in love with Zero (so trying to return her pearls back to her)?

Towa giving the pearl to Riku was pretty whacked, he's coming for Moroha and Setsuna's pearls too and straight up working with their enemy.

Right, so when Zero said "use your head" and he was just bobbing his head it was because he took it literally, being quite naive as he was just "created".

I've been really quiet about this show, but I needed to see if I wasn't the only one pretty much forming question marks over my head about Towa giving her pearl to Riku-- which sounds like a euphemism for losing one's virginity but shhh. Like... what?? What's even happening?? Like at what point do you start to realize, "Hmm, I dunno about this dude"? Like all of these red flags and Towa's like, "I like you. Here's my pearl-- oh wait, I guess you were maybe a bad guy though. Whoopsies". I just...?? Maybe Towa's just like not that bright??? I mean, Towa had moments that made me question that before, but this just takes the cake.;;

😂 thought the same.

But seriously, I was questioning a lot of things, but THIS lol...
Riku: I like you.
Towa: That's enough for me. Take my silver pearl.

What the fuck...

I mean he's not your typical antagonist, but still... and she can't know if she could trust him.

Kirinmaru is the total opposite of Naraku. Whereas Naraku was all about playing dirty and backstabbing, Kirinmaru is into honor.

The Rainbow Pearls are the babies of the Shikon Jewel and Zero? Weird but ok.

Kaede finally talks about Rin to Towa. Wonder what kept her from talking about Rin before this.

Riku x Towa? Get outta here. This has to be the most random pairing I've seen in an anime in a while. I thought Yashahime needed romance but... not like this.

What an episode. Made me facepalm a few times. Can't believe they played such an important plot thing as Towa handing over her silver pearl as a joke. Towa is an idiot.

I hope this forced ship is only temporary, not sure what the author was thinking. Towa is sweet, but very static as a character and has hardly grown at all this whole show. Using her like that to further the plot, handing over her pearl so casually, was pretty pathetic.
