the cast

I won't ask what's troubling you. But I have faith in you, Kagome. That you are a child who will choose the path that you believe in.

Why protect her? Why let her go? Why love her?

I’m only good at outdoor cooking.

Hey Kagome, there's nothing really wrong with being second.

That's right, reboiled stock is perfect for miso soup, and food tastes so good when it's overnight.

But the food in the restaurant is still the best.

Damn it! She’s just a Jewel detector!

This type of girl… is one that Naraku dislikes.

By the way, Inuyasha has changed. His face had a softness. Back then, he trusted no one…his eyes were cold.

Kagome is a strange child. She has been able to slowly heal Inuyasha's heart.

That girl again… She's the one who changed him. (thinking) If I had lived, I would have been the one to heal his heart.

I wish Kikyo would just disappear! (pauses) Have… Have I turned into such a horrible woman?

It is true that I am a weak human, just as you said. But… because humans are weak… they can understand one another’s pain… they’re able to comfort and respect one another! That’s why never ending feelings are possible!

Both you and I... were just being manipulated by the black jewel...!

I can't go after every stupid demon. There's only one of me, after all.

"Pretty woman, short life." What a wise saying.

Inuyasha! How can you stand there looking so blank?! Kagome is a beauty! So she may have been eaten up!

So tell me what's pretty about Kagome?

I've been thinking this from before, but I think your perception of beauty is a little off.

Aghhh! No wonder you look and dress so weird!

I agree… A red outfit is a bit troubling. I think you should dress with a little more refinement.

Ahhh! Shut up! How did the subject turn to the way I dress?

You actually allow humans to tag along… Inuyasha, that’s your weakness.

Geez, but you're busy fellow. Changing into a human one minute, then a monster in the next.

Well… Someone who’s not rough… who’s not spoiled… who’s not short-tempered… who’s kind… and understanding… Yes… Perhaps I’d like someone who’s the complete opposite of Inuyasha…

Whenever you [Inuyasha] do a good deed, you become ill-tempered.

Myoga told me that when you're on the verge of death, you transform. Well…demon's blood does make up half of you. But if you ask me, that's not true strength. Inuyasha, as I explained, the weight of Tetsusaiga increased due to your fang. Originally, the Tetsusaiga was forged from just your father's fangs. In other words, you relied on your father for protection. However, this Tetsusaiga is different. You must master your own fang and protect your own self. When you can freely wield this new Tetsusaiga, is when you will truly have found your strength.

Listen up, old hag! I'm one of the 'evil-doers' looking for the Jewel!

It's been fifty years since then... Inuyasha is still sealed to the Tree of Life. Inuyasha is as he was then. At that time, Sister knew her life was over. Then why did she choose to use a sealing arrow and not a purifying arrow? Why did she seal Inuyasha to the tree which transcends time, the Tree of Life? And why... although he hated my sister for sealing him onto the tree, Inuyasha's face still looks so peaceful? I still don't get it... I wonder if a day will come when I will fully understand...?

And I'm annoyed that we still can't find any leads.

But you're annoyed almost everyday.

And you did nothing but watch Kikyo get killed?!

I don’t even want to know how you are related… But the one who had killed Kikyo was Naraku… And the one who couldn’t save her, Inuyasha, is you.

How cute!!! Especially those ears… I love them! Give them to me.

He can hear me from that distance! Now that really is canine power.

Is he (Inuyasha) really strong?

His strength makes up for his stupidity and immaturity!

You're [Inuyasha] really wound up tight, huh?

But isn’t he supposed to be the HERO?!

I don’t have enough lives to be around you all!

If I become a demon, will I become stronger inside? Can I forget Kikyo? Will my heart not be swayed by anyone else?

I’m not a demon…nor am I human. I don’t belong to either. So…I always believed that I had to create my place in life through power. That’s how I lived and then I realized, I was alone. That was the only way I knew how to live.

Damn it! She’s just a Jewel detector!

(to Miroku) I’m not good at thinking. You think of something.

Kikyo handed Naraku the Sacred Jewel fragment. Kikyo who had died once. Kikyo who arose again with a body made of clay. Kikyo who hates me. Kikyo who tried to kill Kagome. Where are you, my Kikyo?

Young Inuyasha: Mother! What is a half-demon

(thinking) That's right… I remember… At that time, my mother wept… for my sake. She thought of my future and cried for me.

Such a strange story. Inuyasha thinks that being a half-demon is a weakness. That's why he didn't want to feel anything for his mother. But it is necessary for Inuyasha to have feelings for humans. That is what his father wanted to teach him. Perhaps it is Inuyasha rather than Sesshomaru who inherited the true traits of their father.
