Hi Inuyasha Bandicoot! I got the information about the ‘canon-ness’ from http://www.inu-papa.com/inuyashagoya/kiroku.html, who in turn translated it from http://www8.ocn.ne.jp/~ryu-raku/  I haven’t read the manga, so I take this as a guide. Very sorry that I couldn’t be more clear :(

Hey kyuubichan, you are right! I don’t remember seeing Kouga use his sword at all! Maybe it was his weapon of choice before he got the Sacred Jewel fragments to power his legs.

one thing, just to start things off, love this site. i always forget which character appear when and i love the oddities section of each episode

just a quick observation, not sure if you put it somewhere else or if I’m going crazy, but..
kouga is the only(of what i can see) wolf demon with an actual tail
also he always carries around a sword but he never uses it

Hi!
I want to tell you that your website and the other one before this is amazing! The amount of stuff you have, episode info, simple amazing! Thank you very much! I would like to know, though, you write that an episode is canon or filler, though we all know episode 5 is canon, there are stuff there, and I don’t know if you read the manga, that are very different with Sesshoumaru, and other stuff as well. My question is how do you define an episode as canon, altered canon or filler? Is it something, at least with this series, that was said officially as how others defined it or did you read the manga and decided that the changes between the content in the manga and anime are minor enough to keep calling this canon ? Thanks in advance, Inuyasha Bandicoot!

Hi Loretta, thanks for bringing up the different cultural meanings of the ‘punk rock’ hand gestures. I’m actually quite puzzled as to the real meaning behind the gesture in the anime series myself, so it’s interesting to hear them. Hope you don’t mind, I’ve put up your interpretation on this page: http://www.cookiefax.com/index.php/inuyasha/article_mysticalhands

Just a note, from what I hear, Japan culture is partly influenced by Western culture, for example in terms of their music, their obsession with ‘katakana’, and fashion. However, like with all appropriation of cultures, there might be meanings lost in translation, and I wonder if this hand gesture is one of them.

But your interpretation of ‘god help me’ seems appropriate for most of the scenes though!
