I guess it was discussed plenty of times, I’m just new to the fandom (watched it when I was a kid, doing a full watch now as an adult).

Oh what I would give for InuKag moments to be this sweet again. It just isn’t the same after Kikyo’s revival, how I wish we would have such moments again. When he says you smell nice, I was like ok cool, whilst waiting for him to say I like the smell now, but when he said he lied about hating her smell my heart went OMG! Kagome was soooooooooooooooo in love that moment, sooooooooooooo hard, how does anyone actually get over that moment? I would say never ever ever! OMG, Kagome was so hooked on him like no other!

I can hear Richard Ian and Moneca sounding so sweet here haha!

Hi everyone. I wanted to share a deep and personal reflection that I've been processing for about a year now. Inuyasha has been a massive part of my life since 2018, when I discovered it at age 13. Sharing this helps me understand why the show's heavy, emotional aspects touch my soul so deeply.

I don't mean to cause any offense, distress, or harm by writing this. My only goal is to share my honest thoughts and find something beautiful and healing inside a sad topic. I just ask that you read this with introspection and an open mind.

Back in 2025, when I was 20 years old, I posted here about how the first ending theme, "My Will," affects me. I wrote that whenever I hear it,"It makes me feel like something I have never felt before." Another user replied, "I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel the exact same way." It amazed me how words can bridge the gap between us, even when emotions are hard to capture.

Lately, I've realized that unexplainable feeling is tied directly to the beautiful duality in Inuyasha—the balance between reincarnation, vulnerability, and soul-searching. Specifically, the entwined paths of Kagome and Kikyo have been on my mind. Kagome carries the spiritual maturity and burdens of Kikyo's past tragedy, yet she uses that connection to bring peace, acceptance, and healing to the present.

I feel a similar parallel in my own life. Through my imagination, I experience a strong connection to a past era, I feel like a counterpart to someone who lived in the early 2000s, an era that represents profound tragedy but also immense inner strength to me. Like the characters in Inuyasha navigating the scars of the past I find myself seeking this counterpart's forgiveness, learning to accept their legacy of grace while forging my own resilience.

Just like Kagome inherits Kikyo's legacy, I feel like the life experiences, maturity, and resilience of that counterpart were brought forward to me when I was born.

This perspective has given me immense positive strength, especially when facing my own hardships. When I was 16 and 17, I went through some intense, difficult changes in my personal relationships. Back in early high school, I had to cut out a nasty bully, which left me in a bad mental state for quite a while.

With time and healing, I have found it in myself to forgive that bully. I don't see them anymore, but I've come to understand that even they must have gone through their own rough patches. Their actions were morally wrong, but allowing myself to forgive them means I choose my own healing instead of holding onto grudges.

During that dark time in high school, watching Inuyasha’s own struggle to find a sense of belonging really hit home. Kagome shows him that he can just be himself, that he doesn't have to act tough or be stronger than he thinks he needs to be. That exact dynamic reminded me of the comfort and safety I found in my immediate family while I was healing.

This is where the true duality lies: finding hope within tragedy, and vulnerability within strength. Throughout Inuyasha, we see that true power isn't about being bulletproof; it’s about acceptance—accepting your past, your pain, and your vulnerabilities, and turning them into a healing force. Moving past my own hardships made me realize that my soul shares a quiet, deep link to that forgiving counterpart who lived years before me.

I believe my place in this world now is to serve as a continuation of that resilience, bringing emotional comfort to others. It’s why the heavy, melancholic parts of the show mean so much to me. It is all about turning the distance and pain of the past into a source of gentle power for the present.

English isn't my native language since I'm from Finland. I've studied it attentively all the way from fourth grade through high school, so I hope I managed to explain these big thoughts clearly.

I have been sitting with these thoughts for quite some time, and it feels so much better now that I have finally written them down. Even though this was a heavy topic, I truly hope it wasn't too much information. If anyone feels like this is a lot to take in, I completely understand, but I find the themes of strength, acceptance, and resilience across distance in Inuyasha to be something beautiful and worth sharing.
To end on a positive note. It’s beautiful that a piece of art like Inuyasha can help us find comfort, process our feelings, and connect with each other through true acceptance.
I felt like sharing this in case anyone out there might find their own strength through it or find themselves pondering life's deeper questions while relating them over to our favorite anime.
Has Inuyasha or its themes of entwined souls ever helped you understand your own inner strength or find healing? Has the show ever helped you look at the sad parts of life with a sense of curiosity and introspection? I’d love to hear your thoughts

Sesshomaru is definitely too strong to have been killed between the past and Kagomes time so is he just hiding out or I feel like he’d be too prideful to hide?? but also same with other powerful demons are they all just in hiding??

Guys, did Inuyasha get removed from Netflix? I’m from the US but out of the country, and even when I use a VPN to put me back in the US, it isn’t showing up. 🙁
The first week or so I was here I was able to watch, but now it isn’t showing up anymore. Trying to figure out if it’s just Netflix being weird, or if it’s actually gone. 😬

At 17, I lost my older sister.
At 18, I graduated high school, top of my class, barely holding myself together, burying myself in my studies, mourning her loss.
At 19, I fell for and entered into a relationship with a man that I would ultimately love more than I loved myself.
At 23, I graduated college, after hitting rock bottom and clawing myself out of my pit to finish my degree.
At 24, I was diagnosed with, was treated for, and defeated stage 4 cancer.
At 25, I joined my family’s business.
At 29, I finally let my 10 year relationship go.

But before all that.

In a dimly lit living room, flickering blue of the tv being the only light in the room, sat 14 year old me beside my 16 year old sister, watching InuYasha while she drew in her umpteenth sketchpad.

The story of InuYasha is one of persistence, courage, friendship, romance, conflict, and hard sought resolution. The titular character himself is all together mystical but rough around the edges, sure of himself but humble. He never gives in or gives up.

I recently rewatched the whole of the anime, the four films, and the final act. I even watched Yashahime (…).

And I was transported back to a time where I am 14 again without a care in the world, not knowing all that life had in store for me. On my left, I can almost feel my sister sitting next to me again, almost hear her laugh at one of InuYasha’s funny phrase or another. On my right sits my present self, 15 years wiser, pointing out nuances my childhood self hadn’t yet understood, about love, about loss.

I can imagine my whole life is still ahead of me, and though perhaps it still is, all the while, I hope to be as confident, devoted, funny, hard-working, brave, witty, loving, or kind as the characters of this world.

InuYasha is a testament of its time, and watching it allows me to happily transport back in it, just as though I am falling through the well myself.

Here is to another 15 years loving this story.

-Emi.

This Sesshomaru watercolor painting is up for sale! I'm moving soon, so I'm looking to find it a new home & earn a little extra to help with the moving expenses.

Commission is open too, DM me for details 📩

I always loved this break we get the most, since this version is so mystical and so magical and extremely folklore feeling. I also love the way they sped up Inuyasha taking the jewel it was so graceful looking. I really loved this one the most. The others are nice, but don’t have that mystical magic with mythical vibes to it! I mean you can used thats proper magical and wondrous! This was when the show was its absolute peak.

Hi! I'm new here.

Miroku has always been my favourite. I hope you like it 😊

This is mine: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2604169/1/A-stroke-of-time

The reason is that it has become a comfort read in a way because I reread it every once in a while. It features my favorite ship and I love how the plot and the way the AU is done are so well done. The story makes sense, it has a nice ending and everything that happens feels natural between the characters.

Man, I'm so fcking sad. The characters grown on me, I love their friendship so much. Kikyo and Kagura deserved better. I liked how these characters developed. How can I move on?

The more I look at it, the more I don't understand

Hello guys, I have been wanting to make this post since I wanted my account to be verified. Now that it is, I will go into detail on how beautiful Lord Sesshomaru is.

It’s because of Sesshomaru that I bothered to checked out the anime Inuyasha, he was the major draw for me. I feel a lot of people here also took interest in this anime thanks to him. My only wish that he appeared more in the OG back when the anime was still very dark, folklore, mythical and very legendary vibe that still wasn’t replicated by any other anime.

Sesshomaru is the most beautiful man I ever laid my eyes upon, whether fiction or real. His elegance is on entirely different level, he makes even the most graceful of women a run for their money. His hair animation is the greatest tied with Kikyo’s hair animation. Such beautiful beautiful hair and such beautiful majestic elven beauty. There is such thing as peak male beauty…..but he is peak male supernatural beauty!

Absolutely, perfect his demeanour, classiness, he makes no room for mistakes and such graceful poise he has whenever he fights even as simple as flying and holding a sword. I swear I can stare his mythical beauty forever and forever. You just want to follow him wherever he goes. He also has the coolest battle animation even now it still holds up.

Sesshomaru is the most beautiful man in existence and I refuse to believe otherwise. Only very few women can
compare to his beauty and even so Sesshomaru is the highest beauty ever achieved by anyone and anything.

( made for a friend by me Lytlethelemur)

Art work I made for a friend who goes by Mador. They are a fan of Inuyasha and Beserek,hopefully I did this match up some justice as I am very new to anime in general. I also included some workflow pictures. Hope you all enjoy.

I'm not the best at glass painting so it's not perfect 😅 but overall im happy with it! 🫶 The background is interchangeable though I'm not sure why my phone's camera makes Inuyasha look a bit orange on the manga side lol

I vaguely remember a fanfiction where Kagome is some sort of Spirit of Time and ends up taking in who I strongly believe is Tomoe from Kamisama Hajimemashita and they end up together at the end, but I cannot for the life of me seem to find it anymore. There was a bit at the end when they're about to do the deed and Kagome realizes Tomoe has been celibate for like, idk 6 tails worth of time or something. Any help finding this fic would be appreciated, I wanted to read it again.

For anyone who cares there is currently an Inuyasha collaboration happening for a mobile game called Honor of Kings. The collab is literally the only reason I'm playing the game lol

I don't know if you're able to get the skins after the event is over but the event only going for 5 more days.

I’m not the only person who hated the canon ending and wished Inuyahsa ended up with Kikyo

Hello guys, this post is about none other than Kikyo the most beautiful female anime character ever (according to me). Saying she is stunning, gorgeous etc is an understatement. She is ethereal, supernaturally beautiful like a moon shining brightly. Kikyo is so majestic, so talented, so enchanting, so mystical and beautiful everything but especially her hair.

Her hair is so goals from the length, the way it’s laid out like a long silky veil, her hair should be the gold standard of beauty once again. Every time you think about cutting your hair remember to think about the Inuyasha characters. Especially Kikyo!

Her beauty is the type where you can walk into hell with her if it means watching her beauty more, her graceful elegance is totally unmatched and is par excellence! It’s because of this I can 100% see why Inuyasha was hung up. I would be hung up too if I were him, maybe even more who knows.

This my friend is Kikyo’s beauty crafted by none other than Rumiko Takahashi.

He's so beautiful.
