We get to hear some of Inuyasha past when he was with Kikyou, I really think that Kikyou shouldn't have save that thief from before seeing that he end up becoming Naraku =.= If it wasn't for him, then Inuyasha and Kikyou would have a great life together.

I hate Naraku because of that. I really wonder how life would've been for Inuyasha and Kikyo if Naraku never existed. I agree it was kinda stupid for Kikyo to save Onigumo, she should've left him to rot. Sometimes, too much kindness is a bad thing I guess.

Naraku is one dastardly villain! I love that Kagome and InuYasha are still thinking about eachother, Kagome is thinking about InuYasha more though. This was probably one of the most boring episodes yet.

Naraku made good use of Onigumo. He knew Kikyo was being too kind so he chose to use Onigumo against Kikyo. Sometimes being too kind can backfire.

I kinda feel bad for the youkai who didn't seem to wnat to fight and was supposedly harmless. He was forced into that fight by baboon-man.

Shippou imitating Kagome was funny. InuYasha really believed it for a moment. Now that I think about it, Shippou would be useful for... other things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I've been thinking about it, but is it possible that Naraku (baboon-man or whatever is his name) is a hanyou, like InuYasha? The track seem to lead to that thief being Naraku, but Kaede said that he was definitely human. Maybe she felt like that because he's half-human and half-youkai? Maybe it also isn't even that burned man...

See, I don't like what Kagome is doing to that boy who likes her at school. She's in denial about crushing on Inuyasha so she decides to go on a date with someone else that's interested in her and leads him on in order to prove her own selfish pride that she doesn't like Inuyasha-- which she clearly does =____=' Stupid.

This was an okay episode. Quite a few neat battle scenes and a good plot. But I didn't really like the romance drama/Kikyo drama.

Ok so I fell asleep while watching this episode... From what I remember, Kagome was talking with her friends from her real timeline.

Feeling bad for hojo, being stood up like that

Naraku really is a true demon, being saved by Kikyo and still wanting to make her miserable...

Kagome slowly realizing that she loves Inuyasha even tho she is in denial atm is so cute.
Naraku's reveal is gonna be next episode quite hyped for that, i'm pretty sure its going to be Onigumo i feel like this episode focused to much on him for it just to be a mere story of the past.

Wow! Story is really getting good :)

It seems Kikyou and Inuyasha betrayal is much more complicated than it looks.

Finally, we'll get some showdown between Naraku vs Inuyasha!!

I've seen Inuyasha many times now, but I just realized something.

If Miroku had managed to suck up Royakan, what would have happened? Royakan had a shard of the Shikon Jewel on him, and Mirkou only mentioned it afterward. Did he only realize after the fact that he would have sucked up a shard of the jewel?

So, if a shard of the Shikon Jewel gets swallowed up, what does that spell for everyone else? I mean, obviously the jewel can never be complete, but would balance be unrestorable? Can Miroku even suck up a shard of the Shikon Jewel? Did Naraku even consider this?

All coming together, before I was wondering what motive Naraku would have to turn them against each other.

Glad to see a bit more backstory from 50 years back. I think most of the things have been established by now.

Kagome became too used to the Sengoku era. She's not at peace in the modern world after how she was forced back.
