| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I can see a love triangle between Inuyasha, Koga and Kagome^^ Obviously Kagome is going to end up with Inuyasha so no harm there :D Koga kidnap Kagome to use her ability to see Shikon Jewel shards in order to destroy the demonic Birds of Paradise attacking his clan, it's a little too much but oh well. |
 |
| *scream* why does kagome have to scream alot obviously kagome is going to end up with inuyasha i wonder how long it will take for kagome to find the jewels she will probably be old when she finds them all |
| This is one of my fav. episodes! <3 I like Koga, I personally think he's nicer and smarter than Inu-yasha. I would totally go for Koga. X3 |
 |
| While Koga does have a certain lupine charm, it would be well to remember that he was responsible for destroying and killing an entire human village. He is a charming wolf demon, but a wolf just the same.. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Anyone else notice there was no females |
Hermit_Chuck said: Anyone else notice there was no females Actually they were...look at the background when Koga enters that cave or whatever it is with Kagome. |
 |
| Pretty boring episode for me, at least Koga is interesting. |
| Oh boy, when two foul mouth encounter... x) I wonder where it is develloping right now. We haven't heard of Naraku since he gained al those Shikon shards. There is also now that weird subplot with those silly birds. Humanoid birds versus humanoid wolves! I'm pretty sure the bird is advantaged in that case. |

| i don't like that Koga guy |
| Still like Koga a lot. I think what I like about Inuyasha is that even the antagonists are enjoyable to watch. But I feel like Inuyasha & Co. should have just led the birds to the wolf tribe so then they could rescue Kagome while the wolves were distracted. |
| Koga is actually somewhat cute lol Will Inuyasha save her or will she get out of there by herself? |
 |
| Looks like they have been dragged into this war between birds and wolves. |
 |
| I didn't like this one at first but it got better. I still don't like Koga, though. |
Awoo :3 |
| inuyasha got insulted for what he is xD i never liked koga so much, his story is interesting though. |
| Damn, I thought Koga was voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa. https://myanimelist.net/people/112/Hikaru_Midorikawa But seems it's a different one. They do sound similar. https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Taiki-Matsuno/ Guess everything is gonna be on hold until these demons gets resolved and all. |
| hahaha this was a cute episode. I love the bickering. |
| Love the cheesiness of the dub with Inuyasha and Koga exchanging their dog-themed insults. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Koga is pretty annoying... he saw how dangerous Inuyasha is and still decides to steal his girl and bring her to his den. Way to go to endanger your whole tribe lol |
| This Koga guy reminds me a bit about Ryoga Hibiki... I don't like him. I can't like someone who has no regard for human life. He might change later on but that won't make me forget what he did. In the end, he's a man-eating demon, not a human. Shippo was almost useful... until he wasn't. I don't know why he's even part of the main cast of characters. He doesn't banter with Inuyasha that often so even as comic relief he's not that interesting. |

I don't know why he's even part of the main cast of characters. He doesn't banter with Inuyasha that often so even as comic relief he's not that interesting. Koga, albeit for a different reason, is my least favorite character in the entire series. But regarding the point about him and his wolf youkai tribe eating humans in that overrun village - the view of most youkai, at least with the youkai in this series and its interpretation of them, toward humans, is at best the way most humans view other mammals as something vaguely relatable with some similar traits, maybe some semblance of intelligence and capable of pain and empathy, but still an inherently weaker, lower form of life not above being exploited or eaten at best, to the way many insects and pest species are viewed, as a vermin pollutant and eyesore to be wiped out at worst. In one of the very early episodes in the three episode chain introducing Sesshomaru, he refers to them disdainfully as something akin to insects and Inuyasha's possession of half human blood/ancestry is a source of the prejudice toward him. So as much as I dislike Koga's nonsense in general, he is representative of most of the youkai in general on this one. |
WatchTillTandava said: Yeah, that makes sense. But what I actually don't like about Koga is that the show's trying to portray him as "he's not such a bad guy" via Kagome when characters of his nature were villains in past episodes. It was rushed. If this was done a couple of episodes later maybe it would've been less glaring. 0451 said: This Koga guy reminds me a bit about Ryoga Hibiki... I don't like him.

So as much as I dislike Koga's nonsense in general, he is representative of most of the youkai in general on this one. Koga's annoying. It's conflicting that he's not fully evil but he's not good either. He might get a redemption arc later but I don't see him becoming anything more than an anti-hero who sometimes meddles with the main cast of characters, similar to Sesshomaru maybe but not as compelling. Compare him to Sesshomaru who's clearly evil but has some good in him which makes him interesting to watch. |

| No, Kagome, he IS a bad guy. After all, he let his wolves devour an entire village of innocent villagers. |
