You know what, I've forgotten a lot about the anime already, but the arc of the Band of the Seven? This has to be one of my favorites! I loooveee Jakotsu! That character is someone I will forget easily. Suikotsu was also such an interesting character, he has to be my next favorite after Jakotsu. (And I never expected the manga would actually mention multiple personality disorder ((dissociative identity disorder now)) because I don't remember that from the anime! I loved his character and the friendship he formed with Kikyo, even though it was just for a little bit. Also Rumiko Takahashi just knows how to make awesome character designs for villains. Bankotsu was looking a little too attractive, not gonna lie 😂

Also, can I just say that I love the dynamic between Kagome, Inuyasha, and Koga. Like yes it's a love triangle, but their dynamic is funny and light, even though it's still filled with tension. And the fact Koga just let Kagome be with Inuyasha because she was so worried for her safety? He knows he lost in that one 😅 (And I'm also not going to lie, the tension between Inuyasha and Koga is getting a little uhh... fruity 👀 Definitely not complaining tho lol)

And then we go to Miroku and Sango! I love seeing the two of them on the mission together. Miroku using the Wind Tunnel for Sango even though it will kill him? Perfection.

Also we see Human Inuyasha again! YES THANK YOU.
