The wound that Inuyasha's father received from Ryukotsusei in the episode Father's Old Enemy: Ryukotsusei, allowed his father to be weak enough to be killed in battle with a human during a fire. It is unknown if Inuyasha's father would have survived Ryukotsusei's wound, otherwise. edit »
Since Inuyasha was born the same night his father died, and the spirit in the sheath was only able to keep Sou'unga sealed for 200 years after that (as Myoga stated in the flashback to the conversation about what to do with the three swords following the death of Inuyasha's father), Inuyasha is roughly 200 years old, including the time he spent sealed to the tree by Kikyo's arrow. edit »
Myoga: The Dragon Twister, the attack of a dragon from hell. Its destructive power surpasses that of even the Backlash Wave.

It's odd that Inuyasha's father was unable to fully defeat Ryukotsusei with The Dragon Twister attack when Inuyasha defeated Ryukotsusei with the Backlash Wave, unless you remember that he wouldn't use Sou'unga to kill an enemy, because they then become the walking dead. edit »
Sou'unga was not originally made or forged from one of Inu no Taishou's fangs. He found the sword and kept it, so it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. edit »
About 25 minutes into the movie, Inuyasha is about to kill a crying child. Miroku takes the prayer beads off of his right arm so that he can stop Inuyasha, if need be. After the camera moves to show Inuyasha's face, then flashes back to the original camera angle, the beads are still in Miroku's left hand. edit »

This movie first aired in Japan on December 20th, 2003. edit »
Tenka Hado no Ken is the Japanese title. edit »

Inu no Taisho: Tell me Sesshomaru, have you someone to protect?
Sesshomaru: The answer is no, I, Sesshomaru, have no need of such. edit »
Inuyasha: (dashes out in front of Kagome and grabs volleyball that she was about to hit, then leaps to roof) Hmph! (puncturing the volleyball) Nobody's gonna hurt Kagome with something like this! edit »

Shippo: Who needs three swords?
This is a classic joke of Roronoa Zolo from the anime, One Piece, who uses three swords: two he holds with his hands and the third he holds with his teeth. edit »
