| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Someone got sister w. no memory after the fire and she grew up in a secret place for hanyou orphans. That Shiori lady looks like the soulless monster from last season, though. Then suddenly there's gift to her and she starts training. They also took care of youkais that came as far as the seal together. She grew up and went out to train. Then she went back. A youkai came attacking when that Shiori lady losing youkai power because she is also a youkai. They lost to that youkai and she changed in order to protect others. Monk guy was also there and stopped her from berserking and gave her power seal along w. the weapon, which was originally the youkai's. She had no chance to go out again. The pearl's story next (happening main girl losing her youkai power). |

| Well, this was a random-a×× episode for sure, in pretty much complete isolation. I'm not sure whether Lord Gaga is hilarious af or just takes the cringe factor into new depths. |
| I liked how they connected the past and present and explained a lot about what happened to Setsuna after the incident. As we expected, it was indeed Jaken who saved her and she got raised by Shiori with other half children. Guess it was Miroku who was sending Setsuna all those messages, which means that after leaving Setsuna with Shiori, Jaken went to the village to inform the others about what happened. This time it didn't felt like it could be longer so the pacing was nice imo. After that awful last episode, this one feels like one of the best we had for this show, with some references from the Inuyasha series. Next week we will know more about the Pearl and maybe a bit more about Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's father. |
| Going back to the past with Setsuna: an episode we desperately needed to understand more about one of Sesshomaru's daughters. More largely, I guess you can say that this is Setsuna's episode in character development. Seeing Jaken save Setsuna (after the fire incident) and leaving her to Shiori and the other half-demons residing in a hidden village, it's always nice to see OG Inuyasha characters pop up every now and then with relevance to Yashahime's timeline (to which those are easily best episodes due to nostalgia value). The possibility of external attacks have always remained high, demons or monsters alike. I don't knnow whether to take this Lord Gaga as a joke, but whatever. Seeing Miroku also targeting this Lord is kinda the usual business. For Setsuna to have Beniyasha-like demonic powers before she got her rainbow jewel, that's a pretty scary thought. And it's no wonder the sword that was used by Lord Gaga, act as its medium for the travels of Setsuna from thereon. Interesting episode, a good one to set up for the finale coming soon. |

zz2000 said: With 4 more episodes left for the show to play with, do you think they'll try wrap up all the story threads or leave them hanging to be brought over into another season? Since the anime seems to have nice viewership ratings in Japan, they are probably saving the most important stuff to another season at this point. Next episodes will only set everything up for that. Unless they decide they will rush everything down because why not, which I don't think is gonna happen. |
| Really good episode. Got some explanation about Setsuna’s childhood before becoming a demon slayer and also why she uses the Nagita. It was cool to see Shiori again too. Her origin story was so sad in OG inuyasha. The more the show goes on though, it’s kinda clear this is a show runner to garner interest for a long running Yashahime series in the future. There’s no way everything gets wrapped up satisfactorily so soon. Next week should be interesting. Kirinmaru and Riku. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| This was a good episode. I am really happy to see Shiori again. Wonder how they're gonna end this in the next 4 episodes tho |
| I liked a lot this episode, Setsuna being as happy as she possible can, it is rather funny how Setsuna and Towa got the better end of the deal having a terrible father yet both ending with 2 loving families but Moroha who should had the better parents ended up with someone who takes care of her with some tough love. |
| Setsuna has the best backstory so far and they really used Shiori well unlike Moroha's dead master.... |
| A very good episode going over Setsuna's past and what happened after the forest fire that they were in. Also tells us the story of how she got her weapon, low-key got so excited when I saw young Miroku again with his pervertness. |
 |
| Okay episode, nothing particularly interesting happened but this episode about Setsuna's past was inevitable and long overdue. At least it wasn't nearly as bad as episode 16 with Moroha's past or the last episode with the terrible comedy, although Gaga Gozen was a joke of a character. Setsuna's laugh at the end was definitely the highlight of the episode for me. Anyways, hopefully next episode is one of the better ones, it looks like one of the more interesting previews we've had in a while. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| I'm gonna assume we'll probably get a second season considering this story might not wrap up in the next 4 EPs? Seems like the show is taking its sweet time and it's in the last stretch |
 |
| One of my favorite episodes thus far, showing Setsuna's past which was a mystery up until now, going into detail explaining everything. Was really nice seeing Setsuna smile and laugh more. Miroko again making a guest appearance briefly was great too. I wonder who it was that was giving her the training instructions periodically though...Jaken? Next episode's preview though...really feels like they're trying to ship that guyliner with Towa, and I'm not really feeling it. It all just feels wrong. I hope that's not what they're going for though. I hope they get to the Dream Butterfly thing soon...there ain't a whole lot of episodes left for that plus Inuyasha and Kagome's whereabouts. But I'm okay with them not getting the nitty gritty if they're going to green-lit this for another season. |
| More of Setsuna's backstory and this was a sweet one. Shiori's a great woman. |
 |
| This episode was interesting, surprisingly. Even if i can't say that the pacing of the story wasn't kinda rushed, Setsuna's past has been the best of this anime so far. |
| That was actually a nice backstory. |
| Finally some plot development...needs more of this and less whining bored spoiled brat princess starting mock battles for entertainment |
 |
| Honestly a good episode. I'm shocked. |
| Aside from the cringe demon guy, this episode was actually pretty good. |
 |
| Oh! Now we know the origin of Setsuna's weapon. I thought somehow it was a gift from Sesshoumaru. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Shiori's human form is super cute! She's definitely a delicacy I'd love savor if I was one of those demon. hehe |
| Decent lore dump. |
 |
| Good to see Shiori again. Her human form is just as beautiful. Shame about her mother though. This was a good episode. It told us a lot about Setsuna's past. So why couldn't this have been placed much earlier in the series? |
| A bit more backstory about what happened to Setsuna after getting separated from Towa. Was alright. |
KoniginElle said: Pfft, ikr 😅 this in addition makes him look more incompetent as a father that already was Oh! Now we know the origin of Setsuna's weapon. I thought somehow it was a gift from Sesshoumaru. |

| Good episode. We finally see what happened to Setsuna after the fire. At first, Sesshomaru looked to be negligent at best, but it turns out he's been taking care of his children without them knowing. Along with giving them the pearls and stepping in to protect them whenever their lives are truly in danger. |
