Naraku sure loves to make enemies^^ Sango anda Kirara would make a great team with Inuyasha seeing that they have great skills :) I do feel sorry for Sango losing both her families and brother though >.<

Man, Naraku sure is good at lying and manipulating people.. I gotta agree with you with Sango and Kirara joining the team, that would be a great addition

There's no "would be", there's "will be". Sango's a tough chick, managing to survive all that. She made an interesting impression.

Naraku continues to impress me, I like how he's playing Sango against Inuyasha.

Yep another one of my favorites, the introduction to sango and i love how all of the characters each have their own distinct themes, its very apparent in this episode.

Yes naruku is an insidious manipulative bastard.

Sango's past is one full of lots of pain.

That damn Naraku is a bastard! Crazy episode, the debut of a new important character: Sango, her whole family being destroyed thanks to Naraku and Naraku being a crafty bastard framing InuYasha setting up a fight betwene InuYasha and Sango... Pretty eventful episode. I felt so bad for Sango and her brother when her brother was controlled and he ended up killing their whole army and him getting killed afterwards. Pretty hectic episode, very sad but very eventful and very important. It did a lot of progressing in the story and it did a lot of set up for the future. Very great episode, 5/5.

I have to agree with this. The show does such a good job of making you hate Naraku. I see his methods of deception haven't changed since 50 years ago.

You know Naraku is pretty BA. Out of all the characters so far, he's the only one who survived 50 years until Kagome returned. Kikyo, Inuyasha, Miroku's father/grand-father etc. all of them died during that time period.

Naruku sure loves to bring pain to the people he encounters. First Inuyasha and now Sango's family. The whole deceiving worked once, with Inuyasha, so he probably decided to go a second time. This show is getting very good.

Yoooo, that Naraku really hate InuYasha! He's the evil incarnated or what?! He also have a strong ability, to absorb the other youkai. I guess it is limited though, because he would be able to absorb Sesshoumaru otherwise, and that would be anti-climatic.

Talk about starting on the wrong foot. It will probably take a bit of time for Sango to trust InuYasha.

Sango just witnessed too many deaths all at once. Her state of mind is at its peak vulnerability and weakness-- an easy target for Naraku to take advantage of. I pity the girl and hope she'll be saved by Inuyasha and the others so she can squad up and find happiness again <:)

I didn't like this episode. It didn't really feel like Inuyasha to me, it felt more like a generic Medival Fantasy show (something I don't like).

Finally got to see Sango :)

I knew Houko Kuwashima is her voice as soon as I heard her speaking.

She was really popular in the early 2000s and all. I hope she voices more in 2020 and beyond.

Shame her family got slaughtered. Bastard Naraku for twisting and scheming once more.

The boomerang is a cool weapon.

Sango has it so bad, her brother, too.
So everyone in the OP has appeared now, but Sango appeared in My Will but didn't appear until they changed the ending to Fukai Mori lol

another evil plot of naraku to kill inuyasha.

so since inuyasha is "pretending" to be human is bad? it seems to me that they talked more about sesshomaru and naraku...

Love this show, just started watching it. I'm confused about what happened b/w Kagome and Inuyasha at the end of episode 23 though. Kagome literally told Inuyasha that she couldn't help him with the jewel anymore if she was just a "jewel-tracker" to him and then got in the well to go home. Seemed like she was "breaking up" with him b/c he wouldn't recognize her as more than a regular ally, so I expected him to have to go talk to her and fix it. But then episode 24 starts and they're travelling together again... what gives? Was Kagome bluffing? Am I the only one confused by this?

the way i see it, the kagome x inuyasha is subplot in the story, it happens only from time to time, you will se the continue of their story in their next chapter of their subplot, that's how inuyasha plot works.

Also thought this was really badly handled. They just dropped that storyline entirely. Not even a sentence of dialogue to allude to the argument.

Introduction of Sango, another tragic character in this show. I feel like Naraku has too easy of a time manipulating people, Sang will simply believe him without talking with Inuyasha first next episode...

1. SANGO introduced. She's a demon slayer.
2. NARAKU's plot. He manipulated and slaughtered the demon slayer tribes seeking a good opportunity.

Finally, Sango's debut. She's the last "main" character to be introduced. Damn, she's sexy.

Her origin story is tragic. And it's all Naraku's fault. At this point, I don't think he even has a goal. All he wants to do is make people suffer.

Glad to see the show is interested in showing us the origin of the Shikon jewel. Hopefully, it's not the same kinda deal as the Philosopher's stone from FMA.

Naraku seems terrifying and manipulative, and his appearance adds excitement to the story
