Inuyasha v55 ch548 "Byakuya’s Blade" (Byakuya no Yaiba)
犬夜叉 第548話 「白夜の刃」

Sorry for the delays, like I said before, blame Kinokuniya. This was the first time that they've left me high and dry on a week with no Japanese holidays.

Ugh.  So even though Sango was inches from death last chapter….  She's fine now, let's go fight some more.  I'm glad that Sango & Miroku will be involved in the final battle, but I really feel jerked around at this point.

And Byakuya's death really was lame.
 

Thanks Starks as always.

So the plot thickens. This is what I really love about Inuyasha, all of a sudden something you almost forgot about will play.  I bet we get something like what you see in M Night Shamalan where all the things we weren't really paying attention to or that didn't seem to be important will suddenly come together. I can't wait!!!

As always thanks alot Starks and Patches

Great chapter! Go Kagome! She again hit the right point :D And Naraku expression was again priceless, mwuahahaha.

Bayakuya's death.. well I'll speak of it when I'll see what will be next. But I like some unexpected ways. It reminds me  some fight from One Piece, where you were expected long and full of action duel, and in the end things were resolved with single blow… and shock was like  '…. and.. what's then? Eehh? Nothing?!" That was just brilliant. So I'm waiting for effects after his death. Actually I wouldn't be mad If nothing particular would happen. His death was quite.. 'lol' … to be killed unintentionally by yourself, hahah.

Another thing which glad me is that Sango and Miroku 'woke up' and are ready to fight again, and also Kazaana is quieting. That's really good news.

 Still wonder what Kagome said.. about Naraku's soul.. What Rumico intend to do with it?

Again, Thank you very much for translations. ^^

Narakus hold on Miroku is getting weaker, Bayakuya got what She deserved, I wonder what the sword strike did to Kagome? Possibly to send Naraku to Hell, At least once Inuyahsha becomes one with the swords newest ability.

This chapter was good. I couldn't help but chuckle at moments because I kept thinking of the joke for this chapter. But I hated Byakuya's death. It was just like BAM then he like…died… O_o

But oh well, at least he's out of their hair. But did Kagome get hit by Byakuya? She didn't even know. I've got a bad feeling about this for some reason.

I too am also glad Miroku and Sango are going to be able to fight. I was hoping it would be a group battle against Naraku. and HURRAH for Miroku's Kazaana calming down!

And thank you Starks.

Wait is Byakuya a he or a she because I thought it was a he?

Also did Byakuya hit himself when he tried to cut kagome or was that Inuyasha's attack?

Anyways great chapter. In a next several chapters we finally might find out what the right wish was since obviously that's the only wish that the jewel will grant ie. it did not grant Naraku's wish it just gave him power

Somehow, I kinda wish the April Fool's chapter was the real one, hehe.  Take me now, Miroku…lol

But, ohhh nooooes, it seems likely that Byakuya, in fulfilling his sinister purpose before too quickly blipping off the screen, actually cut with the meidou not Kagome's body but instead Kagome's soul!  Kukukukuku!!!

Purifying powers…latent time-travelling ability…explosive magic arrows…Kikyo spirit residuals…could they all be really gone now?  Blow up Naraku's body all you want, His Evil will live on through the Shikon no Tama, which now can never be purified.  Kukukukuku!!!

But who else is on hand and on scene with a magic sword whose greater purpose still seems unfulfilled and whose blade cannot cut except to affect souls?

Dr. Sesslove: Minus the "kukuku"s, those were pretty much my thoughts as well. There's no way Byakuya's sword swing was an "oops I missed" incident. I think his meidou was probably designed to seal away Kagome's spiritual power for good, or just banish it to Hell – whatever works really. Either way she'll be left powerless once more…but maybe she'll get in a few good arrow hits before things kick into gear.  *fingers crossed*

But damn, Byakuya's death was just pathetic – talk about a lack of effort! Get it together Takahashi!

Dr.Sesslove:
Tenseiga…? That's the only sword I can think of that will resurrect a person's body/soul. Imagine after all the good Kagome's done, her soul gets sent to hell!! Where she runs into…Kikyo?! Dun,dun, DUUUN. -dramatic music-
I mean, if you think about it, Kikyo's soul was probably sent to Hell. She did steal all those souls.

Yeah, there could of been a battle with Byakuya or something.
Ehh whatever, I'm not complaining…

So I am assume Kagome was cut and will die soon. Byakuya of Mirage just makes it sound like something is afoul.

Poor Byakuya, he didn't even get a second page. Oh well.

I was hoping someone could help me with something though. I few months ago I asked for some advice on a good Manga and someone mentioned Full Metal Panic. Well, I finial got around to reading but mangafox.com (That's the manga site I use) only goes up to ch.58 which is apparently the end of the Manga. However, when I Wikipedia it there seem to be more to the story. I was wonder if anyone could tell me where I can go to get a satisfying ending to this story.

Thanks, and sorry for bringing up a topic not Inuyasha related.

EMV: I LOVE FMP! It might have been me who recommended it hahaha…

Well the problem with FMP is that it's not really a manga, it's novels that have been turned into an anime and a manga. The continuation of the story you're looking for is in novel form and they are slowly being translated into English.

I have the English translations for the books that continue where the manga and anime have left off ("End Of Day By Day", "Dancing Very Merry Christmas", "Continuing On My Own", and part of "Burning One Man Force"). I can send them to you if you want. Just shoot me off an email to sparkle_jello@hotmail.com and I'll hook you up.

I highly recommend you read them. They are INTENSE! You would not believe the stuff that has gone down since the end of the anime/manga series. I'm almost postive they are going to continue it once the final book is done. *happy dance*

Muahahaha… oh the joke. Loved it!

I don't even think there's a word to describe how lame Byakuya's death was… I could only laugh. She might have just as well printed it like this… 

Byakuya: swipe!

Inuyasha: YOU ASS! *BACKHAND*

Byakuya:*shrugs* *dies*

Kagome: wtf?

She could have at least made him twitch or something.

I  just found it a bit out of character for Byakuya to accept his own death so easily.  He, like Kagura, seemed to be more concerned with his own survival than Naraku's other detachments.

 

Dr. Sesslove I like the way you think.

  Byakuya died? I thougt that it was 1st April… but his behavior wasnt out of his character. He was dying, what could he do? Cry? Scream?

  It was fast, without any effort, but since Byakuya hasnt realy fought against Inuyasha's group, it was not impossible, it could happen before if he hasnt kept himself away from his foes.
