Koga vs InuYasha part
Man, InuYasha got pretty proud and easilly irritated character but I totally understand how angry he gets when Koga comes, punches him into face, insults him, flirts with girl InuYasha loves and Kagome uses sit on InuYasha so he can only watch all of that from ground level .. when i think it over again, InuYasha is actually very patient person, I don't know real person who would willingly undergone such a humiliating process over and over again XD

Koga vs Sesshomaru
Wow, there I really expected that Koga gets pretty harsh beating, especially when he is the one who indirectly killed Rin. Sesshomaru is really growing softer these days. I would like some more episodes with Sesshomaru's bunch to see how far Rin's influence reached Sesshomaru's heart.

A dangerous encounter? I'd hardly call that a dangerous encounter. Personally I really don't like Koga that much. I actually would've preferred to see a fight between him and Sesshomaru. Wonder how fast Sesshomaru would've cut him down.

I'm guessing about 2 seconds ^_^

Ginta and Hakkaku's wolf sounds were funny xD I just imagine their VA's sitting there growling and barking into their microphones or whatever they talk into xD

I'm kind of glad it ended the way it did. I'm not a big Koga fan, but it's nice to see that Rin has influenced Sesshomaru and made him a bit softer.

''What? You think I would have lost?!?''
Yep, pretty much. Probably would have lasted less than 30 seconds.

Oh boy, I knew I was in the filler episodes, but this is the quintessential filler episode.

They must have been reaaally desperate to fill in that time slot because there was nothing noteworthy about this episode except the obvious visual enhancement.

So this is the episode where Inuyasha goes from cel animation to digital ink and paint animation.

R.I.P. cel animated Inuyasha.

"I'm after Naruku, don't need unnecessary fights like that"

Also Sesshomaru, fights with Inuyasha everytime they meet

Exactly... I mean how can inuyasha tolerate such behavior of Kagome.. I mean doing "sit" in front of Koga are very annoying and character of Koga is just way too annoying... Well, it's just shows how much he loved her

it always were interesting to see how sesshomaru would react when he will meet koga, they had done it right for my opinion.

and koga cooperated really good this one, saying he have nothing with sesshomaru to have fight with him.

too bad we didn't saw though how much rin had changed sesshomaru, except kagome saying he had changed.

A very unusual episode in my opinion, an unexpected one to say the least. Sesshomaru is like the antithesis of every character in this show, he's just so 'different.' Would like to call him my favorite character in this show, but Kagome actually wins by a mile.. she's probably one of my favorite all-time female anime characters.

Totally agree. Nobody would tolerate such humiliation. It's actually Kagome who is the immature person here for making unfair and all too frequent use of a random advantage she has.

I'm starting to love Koga's Character more and more! 🥰 Koga's wolf-demon tribe is nice now, they don't attack humans anymore 🥰. I forgot that it was Koga's tribe that killed Rin's village and her. Sesshomaru and Koga would totally be best friends lol 😂

The first episode to use digital animation is here. I see a lot of complaints about digital animation, usually from older people. Tbh it doesn't really bother me. Yes, the hand-drawn animation looked excellent. But Sunrise made the right call switching to what would become the industry standard instead of sticking to the old-fashioned way just for the sake of it. Inuyasha was released during the transitionary period after all. That being said I still much prefer watching cel animation over digital. It's much more aesthetically pleasing and I'm going to miss it in Inuyasha. But digital animation can only get better from here on out.

I guess Koga didn't meet Sesshomaru in the Panther Devas filler arc.

Rin meeting Koga's men and wolves again must've induced some PTSD. Sesshomaru should've destroyed them.

As a huge Sesshomaru simp this episode was simply exquisite. I know it's not that kind of show, but I would've loved if he had taken revenge on the wolf tribe. Imo everyone let them being mass murderers slide way too easily.
