FIRST COMMENT!
No but seriously this chapter is a little too intense for me. I hope Sango and Miroku are both ok and nothing bad happens to them.
This whole color page business is scaring me too… maybe something SUPER sad is going to happen and it just HAS to be in color. ugh!
Question? Is Koga totally out of the picture now? I can't seem to remember what happend to him, I know his shared were taken but….

We're right on track, lots of torture and angst with major cliffhangers as Naraku messes with everyone.
Sesshoumaru had Rin's scent when he bailed on Kagome and Inuyasha, so I say he bursts onto the scene just in time to save Rin from being hit by Hiraikotsu. I bet he's going to get into a pissing match with Sango for being so dumb as to believe that what she was seeing was real.
Kagome and Inuyasha are going to find Miroku just as he opens the kazaana, tell him it's not the real jewel, he'll close it down and there will be a lot of very anxious moments while we wait to see if it was open long enough to blow.
After that, I'll bet we have some dangling cliffhanger involving Kohaku, Shippou or Jaken. Anyone have any guesses about how Naraku will torture Jaken?
By the way, Koga is totally out of the picture. He said his farewells just after Kikyou died.

Stupid Miroku…but good for Sango for having the balls to not let Naraku's ploy get to her. That has to be a really hard choice to make.
I agree with the above – Sesshomaru will of course save the day and Rin as well.
But Miroku? Well he's screwed unless he starts to think logically.

Hey how come the death of magatsuhi revealed a light in the jewel? Didn't Naraku say that Magatsuhi no longer has a place inside of the jewel so why should it matter if he died?
Also is this Kagome's spiritual power that was sealed when she was born or the power that has had since the start of the story?

YO QUICK QUESTION, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THE ANIME ONCE THE MANGA ENDS, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS ANIMATED. IF ANYONE KNOW PLEASE TELL ME

@Rockstar – youd think it be already known. A Continuation is in the thought for works. It all depends on when the Manga ends. Proof your gonig to ask? Certainly.

But as said in last paragraph not much will be really said until the
near end. And that can be when ever and where ever.. So keep your
fingers crossed some would say I guess for it to pick back up.
And for catch up notice. I have yet to get word or see Urd-Chan speak more on this subject. But whom knows.

I had the coolest idea on how to save Miroku just now. Kagome needs to shoot one of her spirit arrows down his kazaana, purifying all that shouki and she might even cure him. Wouldn't that just tick Naraku off royally?

You forget, that even if Kagome's sacred arrow could purify Naraku's shouki, you forget its not about that, its the very fact that the wind tunnel is at ITS OWN limit, if it opens again, it tears, regardless of the shouki wound.

I hope Takahashi is going somewhere with all these mind games. If the past tells us anything then Miroku will open his widtunnel if only to kill naraku. Inuyasha and kagome will probably have to inform him at the last instant that this is a fake. Sange will not kill Rin because its morally wrong. The characters have gotten very predictable by now. She has given us enough of the same situations that we should be able to deduce which course of action they will take. If you pull the same tricks on a person they start to get wise to them. I just hope that with Kagome finally getting her powers back we have a deadline for some closure here. With the spiritual powers being released, though, a slew of other issues were created out of thin air apparently…and knowing Takahashi she will likely milk every single one of these issues to the bitter end.
For instance: Kohaku, jaken and shippo will doubtless have many installments dedicated to them while on holiday inside naraku. Rin will surely have many more, and I am sure that this excursion into narakus body will take, in real world time, many months to conclude. Chapter 600 does not sound out of the question to me. In fact I am banking on 600. For how well we all know that Takahashi loves to draw things out; We should all feel insulted if she doesn't pull at least 600 chapters out of this bad boy. She can be in The guiness Book of world records for pulling the longest running gag the world has ever known. That gag is called Naraku. Single-handedly the most sadistic, evil, and played out villain to ever grace ANY form of media on earth.
Inuyasha for president baby!

February 16, 2008 @ 1:13 pm
What if Shippo got in the way of Sango and Rin, that would certaintly be a new occurance. Rumiko put shippo, kohaku and Jaken in there for a reason and this is my guess as to why she did

Does anyone think that the end of Naraku has something to do with the fact that exist very few youkais in Kagome world? I was thinking on this for to many time: What if the destruction of the jewel cause a great explosion that kills all the youkais, exept for that mask and tatarimoke? Well,please, post your opinions. In the last time i did a question, about what happened with sessh's bakusaiga, that is not used for a long time, no one answered me.

Man, i so have the ending. I'm telling you, Miroku's gonna die, lots of angst all around, they defeat Naraku to avenge Miroku, then wish the said monk back with the jewel. BAM! A relatively satisfying ending. At leat, i think so. We'll prolly see Jaken, Kohaku, and Shippo action in there too. As for Rin and Sesshoumaru, Seshoumaru will end up fighting, and Rin will prolly give him some extra boost or something. Maybe throw stones… nevermind… that brings a very interesting picture.

Thank you very much for translating my favorite manga!
Well this is my firs comment and I'm not native so forgive my English
To Skitty : For me is weird to think the world of kagome as the future world of Inuyasha's . I've always seen them as parallel worlds but it's just my conception . Anyway I hope youkais don't die. Specially I don't want Sesshomaru or Inuyasha to die…T_T
Yeah! If the story is gonna finish soon, we will miss a development of Bakusaiga powers. Sesshomaru has used it very few times and I wonder what powers does it have. Could it become as big as Tessaiga? why was it inside his body? was it made by Totosai and put inside Sesshie's body by his father when he was born as tessaiga was in Inuyasha's eye? …
By the way, does somebody think that "Meidou Zangetsu ha" is more suitable technique for Tenseiga than for Tessaiga? It is moon shaped as the mark on Sesshomaru's forehead and Tenseiga is the sword of the other world…
And I wouldn't like it if the manga finishes without telling about the past: for example how did Inu taisho meet Izayoi?, how did Sesshomaru and his mother react? how did izayoi died ? what happened when Sesshomaru and Inuyasha meet for the fist time? and so on.
I want the manga to continue after killng Naraku!

February 18, 2008 @ 2:29 pm
to shabrir
your meaning about the "meido zangetsu ha" is very interessting! i haven't think about it in that case. but the story tells that the "meido" technique was first for tessaiga.
your questions about the past are interesting too
i have read that first sesshomaru "like" inuyasha and then something happened. but i don't know if this information is right.
yes if inuyasha continues after killing narake this will be wonderful. like Harry potter
sorry for my english

At this point I really wish it would just end. The manga's been dragged out for so long with so many "what-if-this-is-finally-it" moments with THE most annoyingly drawn-out bad guy ever, Naraku, that as long as he's FINALLY DEAD I don't really care who does it or how it occurs.
And, naturally, as long as there's a conclusion to all the character questions.

Castro resigned today!!! I can only hope this turns into something good and his psycho brother Raul doesn't step into power. I hope thismeans we can have positive relations with Cuba now. My father told me when he was much younger he visited Cuba and he said it was beuatiful. Hopefully one day I can see what he meant by that. Democracy for Cuba may be a far cry so soon but we we will just have to wait and see. Cross your fingers Raul doesn't step up.

AnimePinkGirl, I cannot agree with you more. I wish the anime would continue ASAP, because I reeeeeaaaaalllllllyyy want the original English VA to return. Inuyasha just wouldn't be the same unless it was Richard Ian Cox. Plus the manga is all well and good, but seeing the conclusion of everything in color and motion is a different story.
AAH! Wrap it up, already!

Shabriri:
Your have some good questions there! I also hope that after killing Naraku, which we all hope will happen, the story goes on for a while longer. I've been wondering how Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru came to loathe each other so much… I really want Takahashi to give us some Inuyasha family facts before she ends it. And of course, I want her to have Inuyasha express his true feelings toward Kagome.
Eek! Although, I've been having these insane dreams where Kagome dies in the final battle. But they're just dreams…
Phalio
February 20, 2008 @ 5:23 am
OHH, more Rin action!
You know, if a charcter did die, Sesshomaru could resurect them, excludng his party and Miroku of course, because I guess there'd be no body to resurect in his case. But it would be interesting to see if something like that did transpire.
He'd have to make the ultimate compassionate deed! 
Can't wait to see what happens.
