Inuyasha episodes you want *Spoilers* [Archive]

For all you Inuyasha fans, what ideas do you want to see animated for future episodes. Beware, this topic may contain spoilers, read at your own risk. Personally, I would love to see...

-a Shippo from the future pays the Inuyasha gang a visit. That would be a damn interesting character. He would be smart (got it from Miroku), kind (Kagome) and despite beinga fox demon, a great fighter (Inuyasha). Plus he'd probably smack Inuyasha around as payback.

-Inuyasha meets Kagome's friends. It's about time these girls meet that violent boy Kagome's seeing. Would it change their minds about him, especially after what would undoubtedly be a bad first impression? A showdown with Hojo? C'mon, all the eps with Inuyasha in the modern age are gold.

-more interaction between Rin and Team Inuyasha. I'd like to see them spend a whole ep together. Would Kagome try to keep Rin away from Fluffy? Would it change Inuyasha's opinion of his brother?

-a Kouga-like character to Miroku's Inuyasha. Someone to come in and be a serious threat to steal Sango's heart. Only unlike Kagome, Sango is attracted to "her Kouga" and torn between the two.

So, what do you guys want to see?

Definitely the last one. I'm a huge MiroSan shipper, but InuKago are always played up more.

I'd love something like this. My idea would be, for some reason, Inuyasha has to spend a day at Kagome's school. I don't know why, but he'd have to. Just seeing him interact in a situation like that would be great.

I agree about the stuff with Inuyasha in the modern age being great. The part in the fourth episode where Inuyasha busts in on Kagome's family during dinner is still one of my favorite moments in the series.

I personally wouldn't mind an episode where Kikyo dies for good. ^_^*. Yeah, I know that's not a terribly nice thing to say, but she just irritates me. It's sad and all that she died with contempt for the wrong person, but, well, life's tough. She's sure blowing her second chance, too. Unfortunately, with the events of the most recent manga chapter, I'm getting the impression that no matter how many times you spray Raid on her, she just keeps growing back.

As for the Inuyasha in the modern era episodes, there's a scattered assortment of those, although they're mostly filler. There IS one semi-manga-based one around episode 82 or something that's just absolutely adorable, though.

I too am wondering why Shippo hasn't tried to find Kagome in the modern era. Being a full youkai and all, I'd assume he's as ageless as the rest, so it's not too much of a stretch to think he'd still be alive in Kagome's time, and grown up to boot. Maybe Hojo is really Shippo in disguise ^_^*.

I want to see an episode where Kouga and Sesshomaru meet each other and fight in their transformed states. I would also like to see an episode where an older Shippo meets team IY.

OoOoOoOo, I've been thinking about this for a long time and I have the best scenario for an episode: I want to see an episode where Inu Yasha and Hojo meet! That would be too cool and the possibilities are endless.

The title to Ep 99 was translated as "Kouga and Sesshomaru's Dangerous Encounter". I was looking forward to it for awhile, but it turned out to be a big dissapointment, as they never actually fought.

As far as the future goes, as it stands right now, the "Perfect" episode for me at this point would be if Kouga, Kikyo, and Naraku were all destroyed in a single ep. They're the most annoying, repetative characters in the series...maybe even ever.

I've always said that if Kikyou didn't come back then Inu Yasha and Kagome would've been married by like episode 80.

Well, if they're annoying you that much then I guess they're doing their job. That being said...

Kouga, I think, will change a lot thank to Ayame.

Kikyo has made progress, in particular ep 100 or 101, y'know the onewith the miko-trapping youkai. She didn't seem such a one-note ball of hate there.

Naraku is admittedly all about the Shikon, but with his many detatchments and the ability to remake his body he's at least an original idea.

I like the idea of a grown up Shippo, such a cute kid should be pretty good looking as an adult. Plus, he'd probably be stronger and after spending his childhood getting beat up and picked on by Inuyasha would leave a little bit of a grudge and good grounds for a little revenge.

So, to sum things up, seeing Shippo survive childhood and meet the gang as an adult, worth a couple of bucks, but seeing him give Inuyasha a few smacks on the head, leaving a few of those hilarious bumps on the head, priceless! :p :p :p

What about an episode where archaeologists in the modern age find a 500 year old skeleton of a teenage girl in a schoolgirl uniform. It could only be Kagome. And InuYasha has to come to terms with the idea that he'll fail to protect her one of these days. I was wondering whether a plot like that would work.

Or one where we somehow get to meet InuYasha's father. Maybe hear his thoughts about how his sons are shaping up. It seems like he had specific plans for those two to be protectors of humanity. (Like giving Sesshoumaru the Tenseiga, perhaps in the hopes that he would learn to use it and come to care about humans.) Anyway, I think he'd be cool to meet.

And add me to the list of people who want to see Kagome's friends meet InuYasha! Heh! Although I hear that we see Hojo's ancestor in the second movie that's still in theaters in Japan. I so wanna see that!
Will Shippo still have his little fox legs when he grows up? He might become more skilled with his illusions, but I think he'll always be a little goofball. :p

The one I like the most is the 'Inuyasha in the Present Day' thing. Like he goes into the modern world on the night of a new moon but somehow gets stuck as a human because of a lack of magical energy or something.

Now, if he could only somehow find his way down to the Nermia district...

The title to Ep 99 was translated as "Kouga and Sesshomaru's Dangerous Encounter". I was looking forward to it for awhile, but it turned out to be a big dissapointment, as they never actually fought.Actually, I thought that episode was kinda funny. I was pretty sure they wouldn't fight, since in the manga, they probably aren't even aware of each other's existence, so it would have been a pretty bold step to throw something as major as a battle between Kouga and Sesshoumaru into the anime. Although, considering it WAS Kouga's wolves who killed Rin, there IS a connection between the two, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was something down the road pertaining to this.
Rin: Sesshoumaru-sama, it's them! Sic 'em!
Sess: GRRRRRRRR!!
God, that amused me more than it rightfully should have. ^_^*

They're the most annoying, repetative characters in the series...maybe even ever.Kouga and Kikyo I agree with. Naraku still has some potential. I at least don't want him to die until we find out exactly what he's up to.

Well, the skeleton idea wouldn't work since if she died in fudal Japan, the clothes would be dust by 1999 (the time where Kagome's from.)

I would like to see more of team Inuyasha in Kagome's time. It's open up some amusing and dramatic posibilities, such as seeing them freak out at modern technology, using their fudal principles in a modern world (Sango attacking purse snatchers and Godzilla poster with her boomarang) Japanese g-men capturing Shippo and Kilala thinging they were aliens or monsters, ect.

Plus it would be priceless to see Miroku's reaction to modern day things such as porno, strip clubs and hookers.

Though I highly doubt it would ever happen, my Inu-Yasha episode wish would be a crossover between Inu-Yasha and Urusei Yatsura, another anime from the creator of Inu-Yasha. While I can figure out a way for Lum (the main female in UY) and Jeriten (Lum's infant cousin) to go back to feudal Japan (being alien oni), the hard part is trying to send Ataru (the main male in UY, who is probably more perverted than Miroku) to go back in time.

Better yet, let's put Miroku in the middle of Nermia Of course, since it would be a Ranma story, the exact middle of Nermia turns out to be the bedroom of one Akane Tendo.

I agree that Kikyo made progress in the cave...but her very existence has always seemed somewhat absurd to me. She was the very pinnacle of "Good", so why would she let herself steal souls and do evil? Returned from the dead or not, thats just too much to swallow. Naraku was original for the first 10 or 20 episodes he was in. After that he just got repetative. The plot of every encounter became "Naraku locates some new youkai/oni/etc. and gives it a shard to send it to kill Inu yasha. It fails, the poison bee's take the shard back. It gets old. I feel like I'm watching re-runs of GIJoe where Cobra has a new plan every week that fails, but the war never gets resolved. The 7 man group seems to be freshening the scene up though. Unfortunatly they're getting killed off pretty quickly.

Kikyo died hating the only man she ever loved, and probably the only person other than Kaede that she could open up to and be herself with. As far as she knew, everything she had with Inuyasha was a ruse to get to the Shikon. The ultimate betrayal. And once you get that hate in you it's practically impossible to get rid of.

And Naraku does sometimes give off a "Cobra" vibe, I'll admit...but I thought the mini-arc about his impenetrable barrier was a good chage of pace and the way he played Sesshomaru in ep 80 and 81 to absorb his body was cool. Plus I like the (I feel woefully underused) aspec of Kagura, an actual piece of Naraku as the unwilling servant yearning for a freedom that would probably cost her life.

Oh well, hopefully when Movie 2 gets subbed we'll get to see Naraku thrst center stage and being forced to actually *gasp* fight his own battles.

Yes, Kikyo was betrayed...but she learned the truth, and instead of hating Naraku, who ruined her whole existence, and cost her her life, she ignores that and keeps hating Inu Yasha. Kagura is an interesting character....BUT, her "Oh well, my plan failed, I'll escape on my flying feather now" routine gets on my nerves...."Cobra" vibe to the max, there. I am looking forward to Movie 2 and seeing Naraku forced to take action personally. Unfortunatly, my preferred Fansubbers won't touch it until it hits DVD because they don't want to be associated with the inferior quality of a telesync. So I doubt I'll be seeing it until late summer, or early fall.

Any episode where Inuyasha spends time in future Tokyo is awesome. I would like to see how Kagome's friends react to him. Provided they don't put him in regular schoolboy uniform. That would be bad.

The shippo from the future idea is kinda cool.

I personally would love to see an episode or two where Miroku gets jealous of Sango instead of the other way around. There has to be a dozen episodes where Sango has to bite her tonge about her anger of Miroku's behavior, it would be nice to see an episode where he gets a taste of his own medicine.

I think there is an episode like that. Sango meets a prince or something and he wants to marry her is the episode I think, not to sure though. There is an episode where you get to see how Shippo looks grown up too. Even though it's just his head he looks pretty cool. The episode that's in is the one where Shippo has to Go fight the little sister of the thunder brothers or cousin or neice somthing like that Oh and how come we have to put spoiler boxes when the title says spoilers?

Because, spoiler boxes are obviously very cool, plus these aren't just spoilers, these are major spoiler, so it's more like people don't know what they are getting into.

Uhm,
those of y'all who want Kikyou dead (again) are gonna have to wait awhile, since the anime's just now gotten to the Shinchintai and it's quite a few manga chapters from their introduction before she apparently bites the dust for good.

Yea, but now that it's back on the Manga's track, hopefully it'll breeze through it quick again. The Anime has taken quite a few detours to let the Manga get ahead of it.

Kikyo will never die. Her name may mean "Bellflower", but she's more like a dandilion. Besides, Takahashi isn't really known for killing off canon characters. Naraku, being the baddie, might become an exception to this, but he's still going strong at this point, too.

Besides,I highly doubt Kikyo's bitten the dust for good in the manga. She was thrown off a cliff, which is usually a sure sign someone ISN'T dead. I don't care if she was impaled first. I don't care if there was a river of poison at the bottom of the ravine. It's one of the first rules of irony. If you don't explicitly see someone die, nine times out of ten they're not dead.

Besides, in the latest couple of chapters, they've introduced this mysterious "Hijiri-sama" person, whom I'm betting dollars to doughnuts is really Kikyo. I mean, she shoots holy arrows. She's all wrapped in a veil and bandages (probably from the poison), and seems to have something against Naraku. If she turns out to somehow NOT be any type of incarnation of Kikyo, I will happily assume she really is dead! Pretty much the only thing discrediting my theory is that Inuyasha and company also have the suspicion that Hijiri-sama is Kikyo, and the second rule of irony is that any assumptions the main cast have are usually wrong (see the first "Harry Potter" book for a rather overblown example of this :P).

To me, that's still inconclusive. The poison could have mutated her into a weird Kikyo/Naraku thingamajigger. Then she'd probably have a different scent. Or maybe she's wearing some scent-blocking incense, doubling as a way to keep her from smelling like charred skin. Dunno. I'm still sticking to my Kikyo theory just to spite myself. If later chapters prove otherwise, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

By the way, does anyone else who's keeping up with the latest manga chapters think that Abi-hime looks like a grown-up evil Rin?
