ahhhhh! Sango's been hit by her hirokos (how do you spell that?) and is unconscious, Miroku has been poisoned saving her, and Inuyasha is human! Man good drama in this episode. Though I would have liked to see the whole Miroku Sango thing stretched out a bit more, I'm such a sucker for mushy scenes *sigh*. I have to admit I saw the Inuyasha transformation coming, but it wasn't too obvious that it was going to happen, so I guess it was pretty well done. I'm just so happy that we're finally heading toward Narku again, I was starting to think the fillers would never actually end.moreless

While Miroku and Sango are fighting for their lives within Mount Hakurei, Inuyasha is having trouble of his own after he passed the "purification barrier"

"Perfect"

By PS1SpyroMaster, Sep 13, 2006

This one probably has one of the biggest plot-twists/shockers in the whole series. Inuyasha goes through the barrier and loses his demonic powers:

Bum, bum, bum
He's human! When I first saw this one in Japanese and noticed the dark locks of hair that fell, I was in shock. "Whoa... he's human". Can't get enough of Inuyasha's human form, even if its where he's weakest. This one has so much action, not to mention sweet moments between Miroku and Sango- makes me all warm and fuzzy.

Gotta say that I do feel bad for Inuyasha at the end when he's in a little over his head without his powersmoreless

The Miroku/Sango relationship takes a major step foward to the future.

By knowledgeseeker, Dec 28, 2005

This episode is one of the most touching and romantic episodes in the series. Although, there wasn't any true romance in this episode, but Miroku did say that Sango was the woman he truely cared for, loved, and he was willing to sacrifice his life for her. Too bad she was knocked out by Kagura, so she didn't hear him. He knew that sucking up the demons with his wind tunnel also meant that he would also suck up the poisonous insects, the saimyousho, but he did it anyway. He almost got killed in the process. I thought it was touching that Sango wished to stay by his side, so they would die together. Luckily, that didn't have to do that because the barrier healed Miroku from the poison. Miroku and Sango have become closer as a result of this episode. I would recommend this episode to anyone who likes the Miroku/Sango relationship.moreless
