Inuyasha Story

Pinned to the Goshinboku tree by Kikyo’s arrow after a betrayal, Inuyasha awakens 50 years later when Kagome (Kikyo’s reincarnation) pulls the arrow. The Shikon Jewel shatters, launching their quest to collect fragments before Naraku does.

His epic:

• Early Arc: Learns to trust humans, wields Tessaiga.
• Band of Seven & Naraku: Faces past sins, protects friends.
• Final Act: Defeats Naraku, chooses Kagome over demon power.
• Yashahime (2020–2022): Father to Moroha, sealed in black pearl during twins’ birth.
• 2025: Implied active in modern era with family (Yashahime epilogue).

犬夜叉 truth: “I’m not fighting for the jewel… I’m fighting for Kagome.”

• Claws & Blood Blades – Iron Reaver, Blades of Blood (projectile).

• Rough Exterior – “Keh!”, sits when angry.
• Soft Core – Risks life for Kagome, orphans, friends.
• Insecurity – Hates being “half” anything.
