the cast

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...!

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

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

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

"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?

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…

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

Damn it! She’s just a Jewel detector!

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Is he (Inuyasha) really strong?

His strength makes up for his stupidity and immaturity!

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.

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.
