Sesshomaru is here!

"Superb"

By ravenclawmoon, Mar 01, 2009

We get to meet one of my favorite characters now: Sesshomaru! It can tell there is family issues between him and Inuyasha. We also learn some info about Inuyasha's mother and father. Even though Sesshomaru is one of my favorite characters I think it was really low for him to use Inuyasha's mother like that, and then have it turn out not to be his actually mother. He really wants that sword really bad. The best part of this episode is Kagome is seeing a new side to Inuyasha and also understanding why he is the way he is. It tough growing up as a half-demon.moreless

Ok i will start saing that sesshomaru is one of the reason WHY i wacth this shoe for me he one of the best characcter of the show.He is cool,bad boy ,very handsom,strog and inteligent .he now how rock and give to the series mystery felling of magic,Sesshomaru is the inuyasha Half brother.they have a differencr of 1000 of year.maybe.ok sesshomaru,is old but he still look like a man of 20 year,very good looking actually, XD .whatever i know that he is like a villian but he is not axactilly amenber of the bad boys gang he is more like mmmm mmmm .the menber of the neutral gang.

Ok this is the first epi that we saw sesshmaru and ote of my favorite he had a lot of trick with him,and he has too a green rat called jekto or something like that. well the epi star went kagome discove that inuyasha is a hald demon and he want the jewel to tranforme himself to a pure demon i don't now but inuyasha good better wth his human way.is true that he is motre strong i kan killl everybody in that form T-T O-o .well let continue ok. this is just a introduction.

Seshomaru use his power to bring a demon of the mothers or something like that to give for a mother of inuyasha to a demon.but what want sesshomaru.well he want the steel fang a sword that was made with one of the fang of his father.and the a terrible wapon that can kill and destroy whatever in his pass .Sesshomaru what it and he is very deseperate to have.because he tougth that with that wopon he will be invensible or inmortall or something like that. this is jus the biginig of the battel of inuyasha aond sesshomaru. one of the best battel of the show for me but i think that you know how will win the battel.

"I prefer not to think of him." Man! Inuyasha's brother is MEAN!!! After meeting Sesshomaru and seeing what he can do, we cut to a steamy love scene with Inuyasha and Kagome (giggle) and then meet Myoga the Cowardly Flea. He tells the story of Inuyasha's father and mother, and Inuyasha gets pissed and leaves, to find himself face to face with his poo-head bro and a giant demon, holding his mom! Inuyasha gets all weird and gets captured by the big demon, but his mom saves him and kagome. Or Does she?!?!? *Lean back and steeple fingers* Inuyasha wakes up and goes to listen to some sappy story from his mom, while lays there, paralyzed, trying to tell him that his "mom" has no reflection! That's not his mom!...moreless

"Superb"

Sesshomaru's very powerful full-demon brother appears. Sesshomaru who has taken over his father's role of lord of the lands, id looking for something...

His is seeking a path to the most powerful sword; a sword forged from his father's fang. He believes Inuyahsa knows where to find it, and he will do anything to find it.

Inuyasha is match for his brother and is powerless to stop his onslaught of attacks. Sesshomaru also employees an arsenal of emotional and personal attacks he can use against Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru mercilessly mocks Inuyasha, using his love for his dead mother against him.

This is a wonderful episode and introduces the coolest character of the series!moreless

  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
- Sesshomaru is VERY powerful demon who can travel by flying in the air or he can make a ball of light out of himself. Why does he need a boat?
  EDIT SHARE
- Continuity: In the TV airing of the episode "Aristocratic Assassin, Sesshomaru", when Sesshomaru slays the wolves who attack him, they are torn apart. However, the next shot shows the wolves' dead bodies laying on the ground completely intact with a few bloody wounds on them.
