Preview from previous episode

When I was at the foot of the hill, I met Divine Hijiri. But it turned out to be just a Shikigami controlled by Kikyo.

So the real Kikyo is underwater... Is she alive? Or is she...?

Please make your decision.

Will you save her, or will you not?

The only person who can save her now is you.

Her life is in your hands.

Next on Inuyasha, "Kagome's Innate Choice". Only I can save her? Do I have to choose?

InuYasha’s Jar

#151 Kikyou and Kagome 桔梗とかごめ [ききょうとかごめ]

Quotes

Why is it that both Kikyo’s wounds, in the past and now, are at the same spot on the shoulder?

I won’t go! Don’t force yourself. You saved Kikyo already, right? Then, it does not matter anymore. I will not go after her.

At that moment, there was no hesitation in Kagome’s heart. If there was a tinge of hesitation, the wound on my chest will not heal. Even right now… it's still warm…

Oddities

The above quote was said by Inuyasha to Nobunaga in episode 8. The same circumstance apply in this episode, when Kagome saved Kikyo, but Inuyasha probably won't call her a 'first-class fool'... just food for thought...

The voice talents for Kochou and Asuka (Hijiri's followers) are also the voices for Eri and Yuka respectively. So in this sense, it sounds like Eri and Yuka telling Kagome to save her rival in love, when they harp about the 'deliquent boyfriend'...

Did you notice…?

[ Prologue ]

INU: Amidst the chaos of the Warring States Era, we continue our journey.

KAG: In a time 500 years ago, everyone’s fate is tied to the fragments of the Sacred Jewel.

INU & KAG: Let’s battle on! Inuyasha!

KAG: Divine Hijiri’s real identity is indeed Kikyo. Following the Soul Collectors, I finally meet Kikyo. Kikyo, are you still alive? Or…?

[ ACT I ]

(in progress)

[ Preview for next episode ]

When Divine Hijiri appeared, Princess Abi and her mother noticed an area where the demons don't attack.

Kill Naraku...

After meeting Naraku, nothing ever went well!

Princess Abi attacked that area with her demon birds. And in the crowd protecting the castle, appears Kohaku!

I seem to have battle with my comrades like this before... Everyone helping each other out...

Next on Inuyasha, "Protect and Plunder!"

Kohaku... Protect that baby.
