Another nice episode. Were starting to see a lot of naruku, and he is very intent of destroying inuyasha. For what reasons it is not known yet, but it will eventually come out soon. And when naruku puts another jewel shards in the demon wolf he gets more stronger than the last encounter when he almost got sucked into the monk air void. So on the second encounter inuyasha has healed only a little bit but the wolf breaks down the barrier and go after inuyasha and almost lost the jewel shard if it wansnt for shippo. Inuyasha still doesnt have full strenght to fight him.moreless

Flashback if only to reveal Onigumo

"Superb"

Well, it is very revealing. We find out about Onigumo and some people are smart enough to piece together exactly what is going on with Onigumo and Kikyo, but I don't think I ever was quite good enough.

Nice to see Kaede back for a change and to see her in little girl form, little Kaede was really smart! She was right not to trust the guy and it makes Kikyo appear really naive which is a bit of a character turn off.

I love seeing Kagome in her world again but I desperately HATE that Hoho guy or whatever his name is. She should ditch him, glad to see she left him off on their last date...*snicker*

Miroku and Kaede seem to bond a bit in the episode, very cute for the Priestess and the Monk to become friends. Perhaps its because he finally found a girl whom he can look at for personality alone. And thank goodness Kaede was spared from the pervy him. *Sigh of relief*

Great, watch it, quite a funny filler.moreless
