FILTER BY TYPE

  • Trivia

    • Kagome had cut her left hand on some glass. Yet later her hand doesn't have any signs of injury.

    • This is the first time in which Kagome is shown going to school and the first time we see her friends. It is also the first time Hojo appears.

    • This is the first time and possibly the only time a jewel shard has been recovered in the Modern era.

    • This is the first time someone has tried to go through the well and failed: Kagome tells Sota to go to the well and get Inuyasha. But when he tries to go, nothing happens. Then a few secounds later Inuyasha pops through claiming to have smelt Kagome's blood.

  • Quotes

    • Kagome: (thinking) Okay this is weird! When did Inuyasha start being so nice? I mean not so nice, but kind of nice, and maybe it's just the morning light, but he looks pretty cool standing there with his sword.

    • Grandpa: Now for the sacred rice wine. (throws pail into well and onto Kagome)
      Kagome: (sniffs hair) What is this stuff? It smells like sake.
      Grandpa: Kagome, it's you! I knew my prayers would be answered.

    • Souta: Know what? I've got a new hero. Bet you can't guess who it is.
      Inuyasha: (rolls eyes) Oh, man!

    • (Inuyasha is holding a huge boulder and is about to drop it on the well)
      Kagome: What are you doing?
      Inuyasha: Whadda ya think? I'm closing up this damn thing for good!
      Kagome: Inuyasha! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!
      (Inuyasha drops face first to the ground and the boulder falls on him)

    • (Kaede is humming and Inuyasha is trying to get up.)
      Inuyasha: Oh, uh, ow! (falls back down.)
      Kaede: Stop lazing about. Get off ye duff and seek out some information on the Sacred Jewel.
      Inuyasha: And if ye hadn't noticed, my back's outta commission thanks to all those "Sit" commands. (thinking) Oh, you just wait till you come back Kagome. You're gonna pay for this. (cracking sounds) Ow!

    • Sota: (thinking) What, all this for an apology? What happened to my hero? He's shrinking down to life-sized proportions before my eyes.

  • Notes

    • This episode was published in the Inuyasha Ani-Manga Volume 4.

    • This episode is based on the events from chapters 23 to 27 from volume 3 of the manga.

    • Much of what happened in the manga never happened in the show., e.g., the mask coming back after Inuyasha sliced it in half, the fact that the mask belonged to a woman, and not Kagome's grandpa, etc.

    • When Kagome finds out she's late for school, you can hear the instrumental music of Dream's, "My Will" just before it hits the credits.

    • In the manga, this episode happens before Inuyasha fights the Thunder Brothers or meets Shippo. That is part of the reason they didn't have Shippo appear in this episode.

    • Japanese episode title: 現代によみがえる呪いの能面
      Romaji episode title: Gendai ni Yomigaeru - Noroi no Noumen
      Translated episode title: Reborn In the Present - The Cursed Noumen

    • This episode first aired in Japan on January 15, 2001

  • Allusions

    • There's a character similar to the Noh-Mask in Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" called Noh-Face. Noh-Face exhibited similar behaviors (i.e. eating other people) and also didn't have a definite form. The main difference between the two is that Noh-Face wasn't all bad.

    • Kagome's Grandpa: "Noh-Mask"
      A mask used in traditional Japanese plays.
