by “Eh, is this the end?” The final episode came without defeating Naraku
Rumiko Takahashi’s masterpiece manga ” Ranma 1/2 ” will be re-animated as a new work. It will start airing in October next season, so many fans are excited on social media. However, some still determine whether it will be faithful to the original. The reason is that there are too many expressions that do not comply with
This article contains essential information about ” Inuyasha. “Please be careful of spoilers. For another reason, the anime “Inuyasha,” also created by Takahashi, showed a different development from the original, and viewers’ reviews were mixed. “Inuyasha is a fantasy action drama set in the Sengoku period and modern times, where monsters run rampant. Takahashi serialized it in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” (Shogakukan) from 1996 to 2008.
In addition, each character’s relationships and love affairs were depicted delicately, which made it famous. A TV anime began in 2000. However, since the anime was made while the manga was still serialized, the plot caught up with the original, and original episodes were frequently inserted to prolong the story.
In the original anime, some episodes appealed to fans, such as characters who did not appear much in the original and carefully depicted the pasts of “Inuyasha” and “Kikyo.” Still, the rest of the anime had overwhelmingly comedic episodes. At the time, the voices said, “I wish they would stop destroying the characters.” Some said, “I wish they hadn’t ended it halfway through.” How did the anime end? One of the great demons, “Gakusanjin,” is killed by a mysterious light cast by a young ascetic. Inuyasha and his friends believe that “Naraku” is involved, so they follow the ascetic.
They eventually arrive at a temple on a sacred mountain in the east, meeting a strange man named Goryoumaru. He uses Naraku’s name to provoke Goryomaru but doesn’t respond, and then Kagura attacks. Inuyasha deduces that since Kagura, a subordinate of Naraku, is attacking, Goryomaru is not part of Naraku’s group. At this point, Kagura wants to leave Naraku.
However, her heart is in Naraku’s hands, and her life is in his hands, so she secretly wants Inuyasha and Sesshomaru to help them defeat Naraku. With Kagura’s guidance, Inuyasha and the others head to the “Demon’s Rock,” where they meet with Naraku and Hakudoji. He is about to melt inside the body of the demon’s rock, which has been revived and strengthened by the “Fragments of the Four Souls (Jewel),” but Inuyasha uses the same “Fragments of the Four Souls” to improve his weapon and try to crush the demon from within.
This causes the “fragments” to become tainted, and the evil spirit defeats Inuyasha, who is about to turn into a demon. Kagome, noticing this, embraced him and pleaded, “Don’t give up…”. Thanks to this, the impurity disappeared, and Inuyasha returned to his original half-demon form. Having successfully escaped, Kagome said, “I’m glad I was by Inuyasha’s side,” Inuyasha replied, “I’m glad you were by my side,” and the story ended. Ultimately, the original goal of “defeating Naraku” was not achieved, and the final episode aired. Whether they knew the original work or not, it seems that many viewers at the time were left thinking, “Huh, that’s the end?”
