After setting sight on a beautiful girl in a village while Sango and Kagome was busy trying to capture what seems to be a rat demon, he followed her to a field outside the village, only to realise that the so-called princess and lone surviver of her people was a giant praying mantis demon. While using his wind tunnel to capture the demon however, Miroku accidentally nipped the sides of the wind tunnel, causing it to expend.

This caused the start of Miroku's worries as he feared that the wind tunnel would soon expend till it eventually sucked himself in as well. From this point on, we finally get to know a little bit more about this young monk. We learned about his past, how his father died, and even had a chance to look at his hometown. Much friendship, teamwork, courage and sacrifice was also potrayed in the personality of not only that of Miroku, but also Inuyasha, Sango, as well as Kagome and Shippo.

Also, we are able to see the start of a successful team starting to built, with Inuyasha beginning to be concern of his comrads, Sango agreeing to work with the rest of the team, and not forgetting Miroku, who after recovering, is still as loyal a friend as before, and most certainly as flirtatious as ever.moreless

Miroku Leaves the group!? Oh My God!

Yes the Introduction of Master Mushin or Innocence in Japanese. The Drunk old man all Sake and No Talk. He is Miroku's Foster Father after when Miroku's Fathers Wind Tunnel Kills him he adopts Miroku.

Yet along this Detour there is a merit! The unvieling of the Kaze No Kizu!moreless

Miroku's flirtatous nature comes back and takes a bite out of him, literally...

This really gives us a look into Miroku's past as well as his "sensitive underbelly". This one couldn't be any more perfect. There's a lot of action in this one as well as a lot of anticipation.

The best surprise yet was Inuyasha using the Wind Scar and it was totally accidental (very much like the Backlash wave when he first learned it). I was thinking when he got all of those demons at once that I couldnt believe he could take them all out in that one swing. I then realized, wait, was that the Wind Scar?

Makes me feel bad for Miroku, but this would definitely win for his most melodramatic episodemoreless

Miroku's greatest fear is uncovered.

9.2

By otee048, Apr 28, 2006

I love this ep. because of the way Miroku presents himself and how the others treat him. Inuyasha telling Miroku that he will not die with him around, shows that Inuyasha is starting to care for other people. He is starting to gain a family of friends. Everyone works together when one of their group members is in trouble. Mirolu still keeps his ways about him, though, even in hi fears and life or death situations. This is not one of the best ep.s or my favorite, but it is informative and a good watch. If nothing else watch it for the humor.moreless
