Ok, ive been roaming the forums and ive noticed several questions about Inuyasha floating around. So, in response to this problem, Ive opened this forum to help those wandering souls that need their questions answered. So, if you got Inuyasha questions post em, and someone will hopefully help you out...

COSniper

i love this forum but really dont have any qustions right now exept spoiler--> hey in epp 129 is that monkey the same as those three monkeys as before or does he just look the same. remember way back to those three little monkeys who always pick their noses and put two big rocks on inuyasha's hand. that was funny..

so same moneky or no

I thought the same thing when I saw it, but I dont think so, his name is Son Goku, and the other three monkeys from before had different names (sry, dont wanna go find those names out again, that episode was a waste, if I ever hear "Monkey God Sama" again im gonna kill someone!) So, Its just another little annoying monkey that is with a huge pig that acts like Miroku...

O and sry bout the wait, school sucks....

COSniper

All right, COSniper, how about you help me out with these:

• Why is Kagome still in Jr. High School after seven years?
• Would Houjou go better with chicken soup, or ramen?
• What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

And most important of all...

• For the love of Jaken, where the hell did Miroku learn to ride a bike??

::goes off to bang head against a wall::

1. It's that new year-round-year-round-year-roundroundround schedule they have. Has to be.

2. Personally, I think he goes better with a side salad.

3. ...well, how the hell am I supposed to know that...?


*PAUSE*

NO WAIT!

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!11


.......... *gets catapulted into the abysmal depths*


I'm still waiting for the answer to this:

BOXERS OR BREIFS!?!

which do you mean african or europian

everyone knows that he rides a bike because it was written in the script.
i think that question was completely explained in another thread

gah! sorry double post '

hmmm I was gonna create a new thread but since this is here...

this doesnt really have to do with the plot (ok its completely unrelated)
Would there happen to be any pictures of er that guy whos the voice of sesshoumaru floatin around somwhere? er ____ Ken?

1. I don't have an answer for that really, but more questions!
Why are all her friends also in Jr.High school after 7 years,
and why are they in school when it's obviously summer...? o_O

2. Raamen, totally, Raamen... never tried it on a Houjo...?
well, chicken soup made me throw up not too long ago,
so that could also be the reason for me choosing Raamen. :P

3. Well, that depends... is it an african or a european swallow?

ohhh obscure monty python references. Patrioil you juut made my day.

Narita Ken? Yeah, I've seen pictures of him. He looks like a schoolteacher *. Lemmie see if I can find any...

Well, here's all I could find on short notice:

[mod edit: do not direct link images without asking permission]

Doesn't he look so totally... benign?

Japanese sites are notorious for only having fanart as their images, even though he's got a couple of fansites. Gr.

Wow.... he looks so... unassuming. o.o;

I'd never guess from his picture that he's got such a deep sexy voice. ^.^

Here's a question:

On Sango's demon exterminator outfit, there is this nifty little symbol thing (You know... the yellow streaks with the red "berries" for lack of a better word)

Is this significant in some way, or just pretty?

Okay, I have to ask. Why is Houjou being equated with a sandwich? Not that I have any objection to it, it's just been puzzling me.

[obi-wan]"You have taken your first step into a larger world."[/obi-wan]

If the Inuyasha Guys Tasted Like Candy...

Which led to...

Houjou is a sandwich, right?

Unfortunately, the picture no longer shows up. But I think the pictures in this thread still work:

Further Proof! (shocking photo discovered)

As for the answer to your question... he just is.

Patches... That's Narita Ken? He looks... so... dorky. Not anything like I imagined Sesshoumaru looking like. But he does look like he could have that kind of deep voice, though. (Which, obviously, he does...)

Ahhhhh ^^;; I can't believe so many of u havn't seen a pic of Narita!
I think he looks good, cool, mellow... and... english o_O or something

[mod edit: do not direct link images without permission from the webmaster of chibiexplosion]

Kagome's voice acctress is so damn pretty ^^
but I can never remember her name... Yukino Satsuki

[mod edit: do not direct link images without permission from the webmaster of chibiexplosion]

I like her short haired pics a lot better but...
she is so pretty and funny and has an amazing voice,
oh.. it's Hidaka Noriko ^^;

[mod edit: do not direct link images without permission from the webmaster of chibiexplosion]
Noto Mamiko... man... she does Rin's voice...
she is sooooooooo pretty! o_O she's... just pretty...

[mod edit: do not direct link images without permission from the webmaster of chibiexplosion]

My favorite male seiyuu, Tsujitani Kouji aka. Miroku
plus, he did Hiroshi in Ranma½! XD yeah!

Why does Kagome feel the need to wear her school uniform if she knows she will be with Inuyasha for weeks on end?

I suppose it does help having 1 change of clothes...I don't know if she would be able to fit anymore clothes in her yellow backpack.

That's always bugged the heck out of me too. Here are the answers people generally seemed to come up with in the older questions thread...

• It's second nature to her, since that's what she would normally wear in the present time
• She likes it/thinks it suits her/etc.
• It's become habit by this point
• It's tradition--every anime needs a girl in a cute school fuku
• Rumiko Takahashi can't be bothered drawing her in something else
• Her normal clothes are even worse (very true)
• The guys need their fan service

I'm still not completely satisfied, but some of those are at least decent reasons.

*falls over laughing* That was classic! Thank you so much!

I'm just amazed at the durability of it, what is it? Did she have hers custom made from the same stuff as superman has made his of?

If you think Ken NARITA looks nothing like you imagined...

Take a look at NARAKU! XD



Yeah, Kuro is obsessed with t3h seiyuu.
I had this as my sig once, and I think I messed up everyone's view of Inuyasha...

I know that in the beginning of the manga she wore normal clothes,
while in the anime at that time they used her school fuku instead o_O
I've never liked Rumiko's taste in clothes tho ::shivers:: no way...

Maybe it's Fire Rat.



I have to agree with that, what is with the Old Lady clothes.



What anime doesn't have at least 1 character wearing a school uniform?

well, not that it's anything wrong with it... *from here on cancels all use of thoughts for the rest of the evening in fear of thinking very ... things*

I certainly don't know. Anybody seen mine?

::gets suspicious::

my friend said its a mark of hers to show shes a female taijiya..and its just pretty?


Its Sango's "look im still girlish!" statement


Heres my questions..

WHY does everyone but Kagome get eyeshadow? Kikyou too for that matter..in the manga it looks like they BOTH had eyeshadow..but not in the anime?

And if you really want to be picky..why does Kagome sometimes have one eyelash and others two?

~Hanyou Neko Miko
(Er..they said my "offical" nickname is Yuri..but I dont like Yuri ><)

My guess is that they wanted to stress the fact that Kagome is generally a cheerful, optimistic schoolgirl as much as possible in the anime, to make her contrast that much more with Kikyou, Sango, and all the other eyeshadow wearers, who generally have much darker pasts and problems than Kagome does, and have matured accordingly. It gives her more of a young and innocent feel than she would have had if they'd stuck to the manga look. And it does work, I have to admit.

As for the eyelash thing... I have not a clue in hell.

[EDIT: You know, I never thought I'd ever see the word "Houjou" in the same sentence as the word "yuri." Gotta hand it to you, Oily. ]

No? You don't like yuri...? *Oily nibbles on Kagome*
I myself like yuri... >_> mmm... yeah... ah houjou...
I'm also eating a houjou... ... what was I gonna say...?

yeah, houjou sandwich... with turkey... and veel fond o_O

Question:
1. Why is Kagome still in Jr. High School after seven years?
2. Would Houjou go better with chicken soup, or ramen?
3. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
4. For the love of Jaken, where the hell did Miroku learn to ride a bike??

Ok... (takes deep breath)

1. The school schedule in japan is different than in the United states. Thye go through middle school for a freaking long time, so Kagome should be in high school but due to the weird Japaneese school breakup thing, shes in Middle school. If anyone knows how its broken up, that'd be a great help.

2. Sorry but really wouldnt know. You'll have to take Patrioil's answer for that, (too lazy to go back and look so you can if you feel the urge too...)

3. Simple answer, or question... African or European?

4. Miroku isn't that stupid, he could probibly figure out how to ride a bike, its just not a major part of the plot so it was never put in. Who would want a filler episode dedicated to Miroku learning to ride a bike?? (Prepairs for attack from fangirls in love with Miroku)

Question: On Sango's demon exterminator outfit, there is this nifty little symbol thing (You know... the yellow streaks with the red "berries" for lack of a better word)"

No idea, I really didn't notice the symbol until you asked this, Kagomes answer works.


Question: What anime doesn't have at least 1 character wearing a school uniform?

Still havent found one....

Question: Why does Kagome feel the need to wear her school uniform if she knows she will be with Inuyasha for weeks on end?

Like the question above said, every series has someone in school clothes, its just an anime thing.

Question: I've never liked Rumiko's taste in clothes tho ::shivers:: no way...

The only character with clothes that look good are Inuyahsa and Sess. They just look awesome! But still one thing puzzles me, what is up with Sess's fluffy white thing? It looks cool, but does it serve a purpose?

COSniper

Of course it does, like Rumiko said: it's to make him look fabulous.
you know... not gay fabulous but... cool fabulous XD ah I dunno...

Now lesse... an anime/manga without a sailor fuku or normal fuku...
um.. school fuku, that is... we can remove Sailor Moon right away...
Bleach... no... Ranma½.... no... Love Hina... no... dammit dammit...

[edited]

maybe Kagome's Sailor fuku is like her trademark ™ ...?

I do understand about the Japanese school system. But what I meant was, Kagome began the series as a ninth grader... so why, seven years after the first issue of the manga, is she still in ninth grade? Of course, anime time and real time are completely different things, but I'd still imagine things have been going on for at least a year in the IY universe. You'd think we would have at least started to see her cramming for high school entrance exams (oi... Fushigi Yuugi flashbacks ) by now, but no...

But there's another topic on that anyway, and we've been derailing this thread enough as it is, so never mind. ;;


Hm... I don't think Blue Gender had school uniforms...

But then again, maybe that's why it sucked.

Well it worked, hes got my vote on the best outift on Inuyasha...

And now that you mention it Spectrum, she has been in ninth grade for a while. Her school year seems never-ending!!

COSniper

*literally choked on her sandwich upon reading that*

Eyes... watering. Pain...! *cough-hack*

---

Is it possible that Kagome has been looking and battleing Naraku for less than a year? I mean when she met Inuyasha it was her (help 15th I think) birthday and they haven't mentioned anything about her birthday...that would also be Inuyasha and Kagome's Aniversary of sorts.

Okay, this thing about never-aging characters is takahashi's thing,
just look at Ranma½, it could say "one week later" just like that,
and they had like 7 summer vacations but they allways stayed 16.
Most stories with never aging characters tend to grow boring,
but Takahashi makes it more and more exciting the longer it goes on.
Takahashi is the opposite of J.K Rowling, but just as famous. :P

I'm still pretty sure it's only been six or seven months since the show's start. Though it's obvious that RT isn't keeping up with the seasons.

::ignores Oily's dig at J.K. Rowling:: Anyway, that's a good point... this isn't exactly anything new when it comes to Takahashi. All of her characters seem to end up stuck in a bizarre time warp. I'm working on a new theory that involves Peter Pan now... I'll get back to you all on that.


I still think it's been more than six months (seven is getting a bit closer... I'll accept eight or nine, but it seems longer to me), even though there's no proof. I mean, the events we've seen in the manga and anime alone must have taken at least five or six months right off the bat, and then you have to account for everything that goes on that we don't see. Surely they aren't squaring off with Naraku and defending villages from youkai every single day... the Sengoku Jidai must be boring sometimes. Inuyasha's new moon transformation must have occurred at least a few times off-camera without any incident, just based on how long it's been since we last saw it happen. Kagome probably visits her own time a whole lot more often than we actually see her do, or else her family would be more worried about her than they seem to be right now. And how long was Naraku hidden in Hakureizan, anyway? That's gotta be at least a couple months right there, or at least that's how I see it. Plus there's all that walking they must do, too... I wonder how many miles they can cover in one day. And so on.

::pats Kuro's back and offers her a belated glass of water:: Sorry. ;;

True, true, it must take at least a few days at most a week to travel to different villages.

Though, Kaede's village must be in Edo, former Tokyo,
and Miroku once says "why would there be youkai,
in sucha populated area?" so there must be a lot of villages,
or at least a few, around Kaede's and so on...
I don't think it takes up to a week to travel between them.
In episode 125 they go past 3 villages (or so they say),
so... o_O... it sounds a little over populated in Sengoku...

Well, you also have to keep in mind that Japan is a small small country and only a portion of it is habitable. About 75-80% of Japan is mountainous/hilly and not suitable for cultivation. Considering that they didn't have the equipment to level and develop very hilly areas back then, you could probably say that people occupied about 20% of the land area in Japan. Villages were probably closer together than you would imagine.

I think, that it kinda represents what kind of youkai he is. I mean, Inuyasha has dog ears for that, but Sess only has pointy ones. When we saw his true form in the very begginig, it was this huge dog who had similar white fluffy fur as is on his outfit...if i remember right...

i agree with you on that point. Sess's fur must be an indication of his youkia type, like with inuyasha'a ears. Look at Kouga and shippo with their tail types. (Shippo's being bushy and Kouga's being like a dog.

Why doesn't Inuyasha have a tail?

Is it just me or do all anime series have screwed up timelines? Every series I watch seems to either take longer or shorter than real time, which is explainable (They can only release episodes at certain times, for Inuyasha its a once a week thing in Japan, I think) They really cant keep real time there, So there stuck trying to find the happy medium or it would get so boring because either the episodes would drag on, (Like in DBZ when 20 episodes happen in a single day.) Or like Cowboy Bebop (where time should be longer, but they seem to fly planet to planet in less than 5 minutes) I dont know realy how to answer this question. All I can say is thats how it is. And there is a advance in time, Kagome started as 15 and she celebrated her birthday in some Filler episode (Dont know the number) So time is progressing.... slowly!

(And im not dissing DBZ or Cowboy Bebop, just pointing out the time differences, I like both of them.... But Inuyasha rules all!)

COSniper

It was episode 97 (unless you and I are thinking of different eps), but that wasn't her birthday, it was Jii-chan's. (I wonder how old that guy is, anyway... ::gets LOTR flashbacks:: "Today is my one-hundred-and-eleventh birthday... I'm eleventy-one today!" ) To the best of my knowledge, Kagome is still perma-fifteen.

Peter Pan, I tell you. There's definitely some Neverland effect going on here...

Yor probably right, Ill have to go back and watch them again....
And the Neverland Theory is valid too (Darn non-aging people!) but wheres Peter Pan?
O well, yet another question to add to this thread...

COSniper

Completely off-topic (well, even more than things already are), but... someone should Photoshop Jaken's head onto Peter Pan.

Kukuku... ::runs off cackling::

O how I just love those wormhole disortions...

Any other questions?
Dont let this thread die!

...Awaits further questions...

COSniper

1. How come ppl think Inuyasha is the main character when Kagome is?

2. Could it be that somewhere, in a paralell universe,
or... paralell forum! <insert scary and revealing music>
Houjou is a muffin instead of a sandwich? o_O

3. lately, people are telling me I'm weird... am I close to being insane?
<Patrioil> AHHH NO 8BALL MAKES OILY GO CRAZY
