InuYasha, full title, "Inuyasha: A Feudal Fucking Fairy Tale", is a popular anime and manga series written by romance novelist, Rumiko Takahashi, alias Joan Wilder,(no relation to Oscar Wilde) who while writing the this novel at the time in 1921, was writing it under it's working title "romancing the stone," and it's sequel, "the quest for the sacred jewel." also in 1921. It began on Japanese radio in 1922, and it focuses on several groups of adventurers who run around feudal Japan gaining levels and completing quests, while engaging in rudimentary dialogs from time to time to advance the story. It was not until 1983, that it was made into a movie starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. The movie was released in 1984 under the novel's original working title. And the same was done with "the quest for the sacred jewel" in 1985, which was the very last movie to be released on CED in 1986.
The story is mainly about Inuyasha's group competing with Naraku's group to gain pieces of the Sacred Jewel, which is basically steroids for monsters.

[edit] Setting
The series begins in an unspecified Japanese city where Kagome Higurashi lives. Locations shown in the city include a high school, a Starbucks within the high school, numerous Another Castle restaurants, a magical girl training facility, a Starbucks within the magical girl training facility, and a drug store.
Shortly after the beginning, she is transported through time to the Middle Ages, a time when monsters roamed freely like it was no big deal. The presence of said monsters and the things they drop when killed has made the world very profitable for adventurers, though a number of people become bandits instead just for the fun of killing helpless peasants.
The only locations in Japan to be given names by the Middle Ages were Mount Fuji and Mount Hakurei. This did not become a problem until shortly after the end of feudalism in about 1568, when the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, Neumegatokyo, and Osaka were given names. Later namings followed over the next 300 years.
[edit] Characters
[edit] Inuyasha's Party
[edit] Inuyasha
Inuyasha is a level 67 Main Character. He was arrested fifty years ago for illegally manufacturing diamonds with his sword and was imprisoned by none other than his then girlfriend Kikyo. After his release he discovered that Naraku had framed him and he now holds a persistent grudge against Naraku. He hates the world, because everyone loves his hotter older brother more. Subsequently, his brother also hates the world because Inuyasha got the cool sword in the family. Ryoko is actually his long lost twin sister. Additionally, InuYasha is only identifiable as a male because of his voice. Therefore, it is commonly assumed he had sexual reassignment surgery done at some point in his life.
Inuyasha can attack by scratching his enemies with his fingernails, but more often he wields the Tessaiga, a sword made from a bong in a rare instance of reverse bong construction. The sword grants him +12% damage against demons and enables him to use certain special spells:
- Wind Scar: Shows a German pornographic video to the wind in the area, scarring it for life so that it goes bat fuck insane and blows shit up. At first he could only obtain the videos by pressing keys in a certain order on the search engine but later the demon Ryukotsusei taught him how to change his keyboard settings, allowing him to use umlauts and other German characters much more easily.
- Backlash Wave: The Tessaiga transforms into a surfboard, allowing Inuyasha to ride an enemy's attack for a short time. Once he's had his fun, Inuyasha gets serious again and obliterates his opponent with the Wind Scar.
- Red Tetsusaiga: The Tessaiga turns red (surprise!). Inuyasha is then followed by n00bs who offer assorted crap for his 'd2h'.
- Adamant Barrage: This spell shoots diamonds at the enemy. This move is banned as a form of counterfeiting.
- X-Buster: A powerful weapon that can assimilate a robot's weapons into itself. Since there are no robots in Feudal Japan, he traveled to the present day and sold it to Dr. T. Light. He then spent the money on potato chips.
- Ridiculous Crossover (anime only): By using the Backlash Wave just as the show is going to commercial, Inuyasha can create a glitch that causes other [adult swim] programs to merge with the show. While this did save his life once, Inuyasha has since abstained from using it, as the appearance of non-anime characters freaked him the hell out.
[edit] Kagome
Kagome is a level 28 Teenager. Kagome climbed down a well after playing the Song of Storms at the nearest windmill. However, she climbed down the wrong well and instead of finding the Eye of Truth she wound up in Feudal Japan, where she met Inuyasha. Initially she followed him as a sidekick but she was promoted to partner when the even more pathetic Shippo joined the group.
While she does possess some useful archery attacks, Kagome's main purpose in the series is as a source of fan services. She wears a short skirt at all times and is shown naked more than any other character. The fans have no objection to this.
Throughout the series there is significant sexual tension between Kagome and Inuyasha. This is complicated by the resurrection of Inuyasha's ex, Kikyo. Due to his canine nature, Inuyasha sees no problem with polygamy, but Kagome often gets very jealous, with hilarious results.
[edit] Shippo
Shippo is a level 5 Annoying Kitsune. He joined Inuyasha and Kagome after running away from home. His parents at first went insane with worry, but eventually came to believe and accept that he had died in the wilderness. Shippo serves as a source of cuteness and comic relief, but otherwise has no value to the series.
Shippo is largely worthless in a fight. He does have some illusory powers but they are not good enough to have any noteworthy effect on the outcome of a battle. They are, however, good enough to put on a street performance when Miroku's enterprising fails. He once made out with a drunken Kagome when she was paid by Sango to kiss Inuyasha. They later had sex with eachother.
[edit] Miroku
Miroku is a level 69 Perverted Monk. It's not known exactly what kind of monk, but he is generally assumed to be from a very open minded sect of Buddhism. He has a substantial libido but his approach of asking women to bear his children is utterly ineffective. While it should be obvious, he remains oblivious to the problem with this method and his friends have done nothing to help: Inuyasha is insane, Shippo is a child, and Kirara is a cat. None of those faults have stopped Miroku from trying to sleep with them, either. Sango and Kagome see the problem, but they think it's funny to see Miroku fail. They're bitches like that. With no direct feedback, Miroku may never find a mate.
Some years ago Miroku bought a high power vacuum cleaner from Naraku to help him clean a shrine. However, a defect in the device caused it to fuse with Miroku's hand. By this time Naraku had skipped town and his whereabouts are currently unknown. Miroku now seeks Naraku so that he can file suit.
Despite his anger over Naraku's crime, Miroku has adopted a similar method of making money. He will often take advantage of the ignorance of medieval people by offering pseudoscientific products and services such as astrology, palm reading, lucky charms, and miracle cures. So far only Inuyasha and Shippo have shown any objection to this.
Miroku uses his vacuum hand against swarms of demons but unfortunately Naraku's deadly deadly bees poison him when he inhales them. When said bees are present, Miroku attacks by throwing magic Pokémon cards at his enemy. When these cards hit a demon the Pokémon inside comes out and attacks, but since the card burns up as this happens, the creature quickly disappears and rarely gets more than one hit on the demon.
Miroku is sometimes accompanied by his attorney, Hachi, a level 20 raccoon dog. Hachi, like Shippo, has no real fighting powers and can only temporarily deceive enemies.
[edit] Sango
In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer. Sango is a level 56 Demon Slayer. She and a few other Slayers were once called in by Naraku to deal with a bad spider infestation. However, it turns out they were roaches, which are a million times creepier. Only Sango and her brother Kohaku were left alive after the battle. Meanwhile, Naraku had sent his goons to raid Sango's underwear drawer, but they got reckless and destroyed her whole village instead. Naraku saw in this an opportunity to kill his nemesis Inuyasha. He gave Sango a shard of the Sacred Jewel to make her think her hitpoints were higher than they actually were and then told her that Inuyasha had destroyed her village. This plan failed completely and left Inuyasha one Jewel shard richer.
Miroku used to make frequent advances on Sango but ceased when she threatened to file for harassment.
Sango mainly attacks by throwing a ridiculously large boomerang at the enemy which can cause up to a million HP loss. Even she doesn't know how it flies, but the most likely theory is that it was fashioned from part of a Zerg Guardian (kekeke).
[edit] Kirara
Kirara (an Engrish word meaning Kilala) is a level 36 Kitty. Though normally appearing as an adorable two tailed kitten, Kirara can transform into a scary flaming tiger, as Kagome discovered when trying to huff the creature. Kirara mainly serves as a flying transport. Being a cat, she has very few lines.
[edit] Naraku's Party
[edit] Naraku
“Naraku... you think you're the real demon. YOU THINK YOU'RE DARKER THAN MEE! Well, that's your own opinion, because next week, I am going to show to the creatures of the night that you are half of what you claim to be, and heaven help me that when I beat you and tear you to the pieces that you are and throw you down in your bottomless grave, you would still be a fourth of the demon you really are. NARAKU... REST IN PIECESSS!”
~ The Undertaker on Naraku
Naraku is a level 83 Charlatan. He started his career as a bandit by the name of Onigumo, but had to change his name after after pissing off a more powerful bandit, who tried to have him killed. Laying low for a while, Naraku turned to selling his body to demons in exchange for power. When he had a fair amount of demonic power, he decided to start looking for the Sacred Jewel shards. However, because of his character class Naraku was a poor fighter and had to rely instead on tricking other demons into killing each other so that he could have his deadly deadly bees take their shards in the aftermath. He proved to be a shrewd investor in this area, often giving Jewel shards to demons and sending them to fight Inuyasha's party.
Eventually Naraku had enough shards to create better minions than the bees and useless generic demons he had been using to that point. All of these provided excellent boss battles for Inuyasha and his companions.
Naraku is also a damn Undertaker rip-off. He claims that he is the Lord of Darkness. But theres going to be hell to pay.
Naraku's relentless scamming earned him many enemies, and so he generally kept his location a secret while sending his minions to run errands. However, an attempt at conning Sesshomaru revealed his location to both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Naraku was forced to find a new base of operations, but with really nowhere else to go, he had to stay in his mom's basement for a while.
After about five months, his mom kicked him out, complaining that his minions wouldn't keep quiet. Naraku was forced to move to a shack in the middle of nowhere and conduct his business from there.
Naraku mainly attacks by cooking really bad miso soup. Other than that he delegates everything to his subordinates.
During his last battle with Inuyasha, Naraku was (kayfabe) kidnapped along with Kanna, Kagura and Musou by the Undertaker in order to build back his Ministry of Darkness in the WWF. As of this moment, The Naraku Family were brainwashed and serves as the Undertaker's minions and no news was ever heard from them again.
[edit] Deadly Deadly Bees
Naraku has a seemingly infinite supply of bees at his disposal. They are mainly useful for reconnaissance, and they prevent Miroku, who is highly allergic to bee stings, from using his vacuum hand. Handy for lengthening otherwise short arcs.
[edit] Generic Demons
Naraku often sends an army of comically inept demons to attack his enemies. They can kill peasants but are ineffective against everything else.
[edit] Good Minions
After finding enough Sacred Jewel Shards, Naraku was able to asexually divide and make entirely new demons. These demons are much more capable than the losers he had been using up to that point. Most of these were killed, but they still lasted a hell of a lot longer than any other demons in the series.
[edit] Kanna
Kanna was a level 56 Little Girl. She specialized in installing cameras on other demons, particularly the deadly deadly bees. She carried a mirror which served as a remote monitor for these cameras. In combat she used her mirror to reflect an enemy's attacks, but in one episode she mistakenly grabbed a real mirror and when shooting began the mirror broke in her face, causing her temporary blindness which lasted 12 seconds. She appears to be a little girl in the video game but the actress playing her is in fact 76 years old.
Like most people, Kanna was extremely annoyed by Shippo and eventually she decided to kill him, which catastrophically backfired, killing her. Forensic evidence concluded it had been suicide.
[edit] Kagura
Kagura was a level 52 Wind Sorceress. While she was the first to appear in the series, Kanna was the first good minion to be created.
Kagura had a habit of breaking out in song and dance at inopportune moments. She would then use the confusion this created to throw shurikens at the enemy. She also owned a magic carpet, making her valuable for reconnaissance.
Like most women of the time, Kagura totally had the hots for Sesshomaru. However, since Sesshomaru was an open enemy of Naraku, she was not allowed to date him. Because of this, she went ahead and revealed a ton of information on Naraku to Sesshomaru, at which point Naraku stuck his tentacles into her chest with ink, and fired her. After this, she asked Sesshomaru on a date, but he refused because he believed she would be a bad influence on Rin. Soon after, she disappears and becomes one with the wind.
[edit] Goshinki
Goshinki was a level 65 Stoner. One day he got the munchies really bad and started eating a whole village. Inuyasha and company arrived at that same village as he was eating it. Because they were really looking forward to getting some sake in that village, the six of them were all very pissed off about this, so they attacked Goshinki and killed him. Goshinki's bong was later reverse constructed into the sword Tokijin.
[edit] Jeromaru and Kagaromaru
Jeromaru and Kagaromaru, both level 49, were created as a comedy team to provide Naraku with a source of supplementary income. Kagaromaru played the odd persona while Jeromaru played straight man. However, when Koga heckled them, they attacked him. Kagome ordered Inuyasha to help Koga and after a lengthy fight, both Jeromaru and Kagaromaru were killed.
[edit] Hakudoshi
Hakudoshi was a level 71 Executioner. He started out as a creepy albino baby but later evolved into a creepy kid with a mullet. From that point he served as Naraku's executor. He committed countless atrocities to further Naraku's ends. However, this earned Naraku a lot of bad publicity, and Naraku eventually arranged a little 'accident' for the boy.
Hakudoshi had the ability to form a layer of plasma shielding around himself. Naraku helped Inuyasha's party kill him by leaving an abandoned science vessel in their path.
[edit] Entei
Entei was a flaming Pokémon that could move super fast, shoot lasers from its eyes, and spit nukes from the sky. Hakudoshi captured him while traveling trough the Johto Region after having captured a level 3 Wolf Demon. After that he was hit with a Stoner ray from Tokijin. Entei then used hidden power to make Hakudoshi virtually unstoppable by getting a Cap. He nearly killed Inuyasha, but Inuyasha used the Ridiculous Crossover in an act of desperation. Frylock, Maj. Kusanagi, and Hiro Nohara all distracted the horse, giving Dr. Orpheus the ideal opportunity to dispatch it to the void. He likes Ramen.
[edit] Moryomaru
Moryomaru started out as an experimental tank. While it looked promising, the project proved to be more expensive than expected and was discontinued.
[edit] Byakuya
A level 50 Fashion Designer, Byakuya was created to design a new line of clothing for Naraku to sell so that he could get rich and buy the last remaining Jewel Shards on eBay. Though he looks fabulous, Byakuya is actually a pedophile, and dreams of one day starting his own company and making the sexiest children's clothing ever.
Byakuya can't actually attack, but he can summon extremely vivid illusions, most of which show Kagome, Rin, and/or Kohaku doing the darndest things.
[edit] Sesshomaru's Party
[edit] Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru is a level 94 Poodle Lord. He is Inuyasha's badass older brother and is by far the most popular character in the series. Why? We do not know. Sesshomaru is extremely popular with females and males alike because he's a transvestite. He wears a boa, has makeup on his cheeks and wears white after Labor Day. Why? It should be pretty obvious.
At first Sesshomaru opposed Inuyasha because he wanted the Tetsusaiga. His own sword, the Tenseiga, is an ineffective weapon made from the water in the same bong that became Tetsusaiga. It's so bad that it actually brings dead people back to life. This is obviously not very useful in a fight. He usually only uses it on some one to annoy the hell out of them by slashing someone with it over and over again.
During one of his attempts to claim the Tetsusaiga, Sesshomaru lost an arm in combat. For a while he tried attaching the arms of various other demons to himself, but they kept falling off and eventually he realized that that doesn't work. He now stalks Inuyasha and attempts to get him to use the Ridiculous Crossover so that he can enter the Fullmetal Alchemist universe and get a badass automail arm like Edward Elric's.
When Naraku's minion Goshinki was killed by Inuyasha, he dropped his bong. Sesshomaru later found this and commissioned super scientist Kaijinbo to reverse construct it into a sword, christened Tokijin. Now that he had an effective sword, Sesshomaru didn't have much to do. He was actually kinda glad when Naraku kidnapped Rin. With a clear attack on his party, Sesshomaru had a new quest to undertake: Get back at Naraku for this affront.
Like Inuyasha, Sesshomaru can attack with his fingernails, but they seem to have some sort of fungus and can severely poison those he hits with them. He can also whip a guy just by pointing at him. His sword, Tokijin, is a very powerful weapon. It is rumored to be able to kill grues, but a lack of dark caves in Feudal Japan has impeded testing of this theory. However, he was able to parry a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris using the sword, so its power cannot be denied.
[edit] Jaken
Jaken is a level 15 Sycophant. Jaken is, for the most part, a worthless little imp. He mainly got to where he is by sucking up to Sesshomaru. He is a poor sidekick and serves mainly as a source of comic relief.
Jaken carries a flame thrower but spends too little time fighting and too much time yammering on about Sesshomaru. He has yet to win a battle unassisted.
[edit] Rin
Rin is a level 7 Little Girl. Sesshomaru abducted her from her village in hopes of holding her ransom, only to find out that she was an orphan and nobody would pay him to get her back. Feeling disappointed over this, Sesshomaru decided instead to allow her to follow him in hopes that her presence would boost his image... or so he claims.
While Little Girls can eventually become very powerful supportive spellcasters, they are very weak early on. Sesshomaru exercises great discretion when deciding what battles to allow her to enter. Currently her most powerful spell is Overwhelming Cuteness, which allows her to stun human opponents just by looking at them.
[edit] Ah-Un
Ah-Un is a level 47 two headed dragon who serves as a pack beast and a transport for Jaken and Rin. Jaken won the creature from Koga as part of a wager to see who could nail the most chicks in one night. Well, actually neither of them nailed anyone. Koga even got so desperate that he asked a couple homo hobo's. One replied, "HELL NO!" But, in the end, Jaken stole it, but hey, close enough.
[edit] Big Ass Demon
Early on in the series Sesshomaru was followed by an unnamed level 76 big ass demon. The demon quit the series when its request for a raise was declined. Afterward it worked in a few low budget monster movies before getting a steady job as a bouncer at a nightclub.
[edit] Other People
[edit] Kouga
Kouga is a level 34 Traveling Salesman. He had a brief moment of fame when he won an Olympic silver medal for marathon running. He was then disqualified when he was found to be using performance enhancing jewel shards.
Feeling depressed over this disqualification, Kouga has since turned to unhealthy means of coping, particularly alcohol. He has also taken to stalking Kagome, leading to many an ass-kicking from Inuyasha.
On the rare occasion that he actually does his job, Kouga visits villages throughout Japan selling high quality meat for Wolf Demon Food Corp. His specific duty is to arrange orders from restaurants, inns and taverns. Also, he has worked up a deal with Koga-Cola.
[edit] Hakaku and Ginta
These guys are Kouga's assistants, both level 32. They're basically the same guy, so they don't get their own sections. They provide some comic relief, but not many fans would miss them if they died.
[edit] Kohaku
Sango's younger brother, this level 28 Demon Slayer had no choice but to take a job with Naraku after the incident with the roaches. He was later fired for showing poor work ethic and has since become a drifter doing various odd jobs. The most recent of these was with Sesshomaru to 'further boost his image'.
[edit] Kikyo
Level 90 Priestess, died but came back to life, Inuyasha's former girlfriend, he still has feelings for her, Kagome's jealous, blah blah blah. Oh yes, and she has some problem with staying dead for more than 10 minutes of the show.
This characters section is way too long already. Fuck Kikyo. We're moving on.
[edit] Media
[edit] Manga
After 558 chapters it's over!! Its finally over!! YAAAAAAYY!! Miroku had 3 kids with Sango in the space of 3 days, and Kagome ran away with InuYasha after high school. And there is no more, the adventures don't continue, Its done!
[edit] Anime
As it turns out, the 'anime' was actually a series of recordings from a turn based RPG based on the manga. While the GUI has been edited out for realism, it becomes obvious when one considers that...
- Anyone who is not a peasant can absorb immense amounts of damage without dying. Also, you can jump in the air without landing up to ten minutes; this may anger air planes and they will fire lasers.
- While team attacks are possible, it is uncommon to see more than one character attack at a time.
- Moves and spells are performed the same way each time and, with some exceptions against major demons, are applied very directly as well.
The anime stopped after 167 episodes. The producers are quoted as saying, "We got bored of playing, but the anime has served its purpose. Manga sales are up, so it's all good."
[edit] Movies
Contrary to popular belief, There are currently two, instead of four Inuyasha movies. They are better than remakes of Dragon Ball Z movies. The first one was the best. But fuck the movies, we're moving on.
[edit] Episode guide
One major criticism of the series is that it is overly repetitive. This is true, as most episodes consist of various combinations of the following:
- The first couple minutes or so are usually spent recapping the last few episodes, and sometimes even the entire series. There are various other recaps throughout. It is estimated that the series could be condensed to sixty episodes simply by removing this part.
- Inuyasha's party wanders around aimlessly due to poor in game instructions.
- The player gets some coffee. The characters stand around chatting about random crap.
- Kikyo dies.
- Random encounter! Some kind of weird-ass demon appears out of nowhere. The characters kick its ass.
- Inuyasha gets a sword upgrade.
- Boss battle! Some kind of weird-ass demon appears out of somewhere. The characters eventually kick its ass but it takes a while, sometimes requiring several episodes and encounters before its ass is truly kicked.
- Kikyo resurrects.
- Inuyasha upgrades his sword for one of the 1,000,000th times.
- Kagome gets mad because that's what teenagers do, and takes it out on Inuyasha.
- Inuyasha beats up Shippo. Nobody (at all) objects to this.
- Miroku hits on some girl he just met.
- Kikyo dies.
- Inuyasha upgrades his sword.
- Jaken monologues to Rin, who quickly loses interest.
- Sesshomaru looks at something up ahead. Rin postulates that he's hallucinating, which sends Jaken on another one of his tirades.
- Kikyo resurrects.
- Inuyasha upgrades his sword.
- Kikyo says something, but it's so boring that nobody remembers what it was.
- Kikyo dies.
- Inuyasha yells "Damn you, Naraku" until his voice wears out and he has to visit lady what's-her-face-with-the-eyepatch.
- Kagome and Inuyasha screaming each other's names.
- Inuyasha remains a virgin.
