| what a touching episode |
| It was nice seeing a more gentle aspect of InuYasha's and Kagome's relationship. I also liked the music for this episode too. |
 |
| Finally some development on their relationship... |
| If i ever had some issue with Kagome, this episode has made up for all of that. After her seeing "that" and then to understand and accept it all .... wow .... I loved this development. Now it's InuYasha's turn to do his part. Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| Kagome has just leaped ahead of 99% of female main characters by actually acting in a mature manner when faced with a romantic roadblock. I'm feeling better about the enormous number of episodes left to watch. It might be time to raise my ratings... |

| im not much of a kagome fan im more of a kikiyo fan, to be honest i didn't like how kagome said she wished kikiyo would just disappear, but in the end she accepts inuyasha for loving kikiyo, i honestly thought she'd be cunning and try try again to get inuyasha but no she fine with it. |

| loved it... I even cryed! and that doesen't happen often but i felt so sorry for Kagome.I see the characteres in a different way now. Kagome and Inuyasha were both so mature... And I'm not really a Kikyo fan and I don't like the way she acts in these situations. |
 |
| Wow, such a beautiful episode... I almost shed a tear, and I NEVER cry EVER. Both Kagome and InuYasha have really grown as characters, especially Kagome in this episode. Seeing InuYasha and Kagome emotionally struggle in this episode was wow, so amazing. And Kagome accepting InuYasha loving Kikyo was such great development for her. I'm really glad that we got to see development within the InuYasha/Kagome relationship. Amazing episode, 5/5. |
| Very touching episode. Big development in Kagome's character. For Kagome, it can't be helped, Inuyasha loving Kikyo and she accepts it in a mature way. |
 |
Forgetfulness said: Well although I prefer Kikyo much more, I think it was great that Kagome dealt with the situation in a mature way and accepted how things were. Yes! How rare is that in shoujo? I had issues with Kagome before and I still don't like her, but she deserves praise for how she handled the situation. Inuyasha as well for making his decision (kind of). Inuyasha, as a series, just improved for me thanks to this episode. :D |

| Lewd hand-holding... More seriously, it was touching to see Kagome struggling, and yet, still choosing to side by him, even though she has basically already lost. She is too good of a person :| That moment between Kagome and her mom was great too. |

| brb crying Kagome's realization/decision was perfect... this ep is one of my favs ♥ ♥ ♥ |
| This should have happened a long time ago! Kikiyo was there first after all.. |
-Positive and negative energy coexist to exist- |
| Anyone else find it sad that Inuyasha doesn't believe he has the right to be happy? |
 |
| The character development in this episode, the maturity from Kagome and even Inuyasha, holy shit this episode was amazing. But even tough thing are "ok" for now this is one hell of a complicated triangle, so much more sad feeling and struggle is coming, i'm still rooting for Kagome but after all that i don't know what will happen. |

Well despite our conflicting sides, we both know who Inuyasha is going to end up with. Just take into account moments Inuyasha had with Kikyou to see both sides of the perspective. Hmmm i'm not sure i get what you mean by that |
Fake_Williams said: eh...basically to make a long story short, review all the moments between Kikyou and Inuyasha. She might have been flawed, but all of them had a real emotional reason. Even better would be to read the manga which does not antagonize her that much Reason for such and such in anime and manga: Encounter 1: Kikyou came back with malice because she died with hatred. While it is never specifically stated in the anime, in the manga, it was stated she had a bit of understanding of it after Inuyasha hugged her during this encounter, but could not let it go since that was how she came back. Encounter 2: A lot of people will say that she wanted to drag Inuyasha to hell for revenge. But if you look at the dialogue closely and what she said to Kagome, you will realized it was more of loneliness and love than personal hatred. Honestly, if she really did hate him, she would never said and paraphrase, "remember the feelings when my lips touch yours was not a lie". Differences in manga Encounter 3: You see Kikyou up in a tree when Inuyasha meets her. In the manga, she actually walk towards Inuyasha, embraces him and is glad that he is alright. Further dialogue suggest Kikyou intends to kill Naraku and possibly have Inuyasha join her in hell. Encounter 4 based on this discussion: Kikyou pulls a knife on Inuyasha which didn't really make sense. In the manga however, they embrace wholeheartedly where Kikyou was glad Inuyasha came for her while he said, her life also belong to her. The anime gives us a sense Kikyou is trying to hide her true feelings while distancing herself from Inuyasha. The manga reaffirms their love for each other which makes a lot more sense in why Inuyasha looked Kagome in the eyes with the meaning that he will choose Kikyou. Honestly I don't want to turn this into an argument of who is the better women for Inuyasha. Even as someone who obviously had biases, I understand why Inuyasha relationship cannot work with Kikyou who died 50 years ago especially with Kagome is around. I'm just trying to get one to understand how strong Kikyou and Inuyasha's bond which is why there is this annoying love triangle. You probably have to get up to a certain episode to understand, but believe me, Inuyasha did not love Kikyou just because she was a beautiful women and she certainly wasn't like what is portray in the first 2 encounters since her revival. Well thanks for the big answer, and yeah i already understood pretty much all that, the reason behind there bond is stronger than just love to some extent. I was just not getting what you meant by " we both know who Inuyasha is going to end up with", i was not thinking that Kykyo being dead was a problem, i mean she is dead for now but in the world of Iuyasha a lot of crazy stuff already happened and it wouldn't surprise if there were a way to make a her fully come back to life. So maybe some stuff will happen later proving me wrong and it's very likely, but for now i prefer to think that they still both have they're chance, i hope you get what i'm trying to say (sorry english is not my first language so 'im having some trouble explaining this^^). |

Are watching this for the first time? Yes i am, i saw that you have already finished it but it's my first time^^ |
Fake_Williams said: I see, just enjoy it I guess. You still have a long way before "that episode(s)". Haha thanks, yeah i'll take me two or three weeks to finish it i think, but so far it's perfect to me ! |

When you finish "that episode(s)", send a message or post on the forum of that episode what you thought about it. You will know when you have watched it. Its the one I keep going back to except a cut the ending of it. Ok well if you want i can add you and when i've seen it i tell your on you profile |
| Not gonna lie, I don't care for Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship at this point, but this episode I think was decent in how it handled going in a different direction. The talk at the well at the end wasn't bad at all, and although they're more-or-less talking about "just being friends" or being platonic, it was obvious it hurt them both on the inside. Although I have a good idea of what happens later down the road (thanks to late-arrival spoilers and such), it should be interesting to see how it goes from here. At any rate, I'm starting to see the appeal now, and maybe, hopefully, I'll come to have better thoughts toward it. |
  |
| wow lots of development in this ep, definitely a nice change of pace. the OST was great too. but honestly either way it's no doubt that kagome would stay? like she's the only one who could sense the sacred jewel fragments so the group still needs her lol. either way, kagome made a mature decision. inuyasha needs to stop living in the past and realize that he and kikyo have changed. |
| THAT IS TRUE LOVE IF I'VE EVER SEEN IT, GODDAMIT |
| Nice episode about their relationship, both have made some mature decisions |
 |
| this episode going to be the first stone in inuyasha x kagome relationship. in the end both of them made the mature decision, i'm pretty sure kagome knows that inuyasha cares about her, but just can't let go of kikyo because she was very important person in his life, but because not only she loves inuyasha but wants him alive unlike kikyo she decides to stay with inuyasha. what made me love so much in inuyasha is the fact that this is only ep48 out of 191episodes, in some way there would be saying this episode should be in the far side of the series, but because it's this early, we know for a fact the whole inuyasha love complex is only it's in start. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| That was so well done, the direction the animation, the music, the voice acting, Kagome's acting in such mature manner 10/10 I seen a lot of aesthetic pictures and pretty sure a lot of them were from this episode. |
| Great episode. The emotions and the inner struggle between Inuyasha and Kagome are conveyed greatly through their conversation at the well. Quite a touching episode. The Kagome's journey to be able to get Inuyasha's heart just begin. These sure takes a long time and great determination to do so. It has been a very enjoyable watch so far. |
  |
| Very romancey episode, the undead seems like the obvious bad choice though. |
