216.248.74.134 ( talk · contribs) added this article to Category:Cult television series, effectively claiming that we are a cult. I doubt that. What do you think? JRSpriggs 03:17, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps this is something of a strange entry to this article's many talk pages, but hear me out. As is, this article and the many articles under it are extremely extensive (I shudder to think what might happen when the Wiki purists get a hold of this and start nominating half of the lot for deletion as "non-notable"), however, I have noticed a glaring debacle. As a casual watcher of the anime since its run commenced some years ago in the States, gleaning information from relevant informational pages is difficult since little or no distinction separates instances and happenings in the animation from those in the manga, which I, and I imagine many other Wiki perusers, have not read. This makes many of the current articles, especially those on the main characters, slightly confusing to read, nevermind foiling plot aspects of the illustrated books (though that's mostly just whining on my part). Since this series, or rather, franchise, has two diverging continuities depending on the presented media, would it be unreasonable to suggest an initiative to split this article and the articles under it into continuity-specific versions of their current selves? You may wish to peruse the Fullmetal Alchemist series of articles for an example. Minor tangent, I also happen to believe those articles are better written, but we'll save that for another discussion. MalikCarr 11:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know exactly why the series ended? All that's offered in the article about it is an anecdote, since it is missing a citation. What happened? Why was it discontinued? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AJFederation ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
i thought it ended because the producer died and the staff didnt want to continue with out them--

I received a message that the link I added to the external links section was not appropriate. I had submitted http://www.inuyasha-fan.com to the list because it contains a good deal of information on the subject, and has an active user base. I am not sure if the addition was somehow considered spam, but that was not the intention. I consider it a good site in terms of what it contains, and it seems to be popular. Could someone tell me why it, in particular, is innapropriate, while the others are not? Thank you. 68.107.186.31 00:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
hey does any body know what manga chapters does the last episdoe cover -- Zetsuie 23:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Wait, if the manga goes up to chapter 355, how come the List of Inuyasha Chapters here only shows up to 288? -- Xagzan
Should we semi-protect this article? There are too many edits, some of them are useless, some of them are not discussed beforehand. Yesterday there was a useless edit, I believe. By useless I mean things that don't contribute or vandalism. -- C7796E2C 00:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
It's Tetsusaiga people, the "u" is a whisper vowel, so the sound kind of disappears, but they spelled it that way on the English anime, and that way translates into something in Japanese (I talked to someone who had just returned from living in Japan for 5 years about this, he's certain). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.133.169.234 ( talk • contribs) 04:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
It's T-e-s-s-a-i-g-a, trust me. Viz used Tetsusaiga because that's what THEY thought it was, as that's what it came out as when translated. Later, they discovered that this was a serious mistake, but that was the offical name they had already chosen. It was too late to change it to it's proper spelling, T-e-s-s-a-i-g-a. Most die hard InuYasha fans use this spelling, as it IS correct, as opposed to T-e-t-s-u-s-a-i-g-a.
Shouldn't official spelling be put above intended spelling?-- 70.212.28.73 00:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, unless the offical spelling is an error. Then the intended spelling should be used, as that is what was SUPPOSED to be used, until somebody screwed up.
To raise this topic again. InuYasha is very similar to shonen stories in its content. However, it is written by a woman, Rumiko Takahashi, and has a female main character, Kagome Higurashi. InuYasha (character) is clearly less sympathetic than Kagome and is forced to obey her. Thus I think that this is a woman's fantasy about how she would like to relate to a man. (InuYasha's paradoxical behavior is due to the mixed motivations of women — they want a powerful, uncaring, and domineering man, but they want to control him.) JRSpriggs 06:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
That's right. Plus, every manga she has drawn is for boys. Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1\2 are both boys series, thus they were published in Shonen Sunday. Maison Ikkoku, despite it's romantic girly feel, is also a manga for males, a seinen manga, as it was published in a magazine targeted at male adults 20-25 years of age. (A seinen magazine) That magazine was Big Comic Spirits. (Just for reference) And InuYasha, while containing romance, is a shonen manga, published, like Takahashi-sensei's first and third manga series, in Shonen Sunday. The romance is not really that important to the plot, it's simply a side story, generated to help keep readers interested. The main plot of killing Naraku is the central storyline. Therfore, InuYasha is NOT a shojo manga. (Otherwise, it would've been serialized, of course, in a shojo magazine)
when is inuyasha and kagome's birthday? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.178.67.155 ( talk • contribs).
Takahashi-sensei has never explicitly stated when their birthdays are. But since Kagome turned 15 in 1997, which is when the manga takes place (in the present dimension), we can conclude that she was born in 1982. (Which would make her around 24 now!) When, it hasn't been made clear. As for InuYasha, since Takhashi-sensei hasn't made clear WHEN in the Feudal Era the manga takes place (in the past dimension of course), we really can't tell when InuYasha was born. But since he's 500 years old, he had to have been born a long, long, long, long time ago. :P
I think we should add a settings section. what does everyone think?--88wolfmaster 05:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
we have a love recap of the first episode plot but I think we would be better off with a brief introduction to the story. If someone wants to know exactly what happened then they can look up episode summaries.--88wolfmaster 02:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
ok I've noticed quite a bit of vandalism from anonymous IP addresses. so the question is do we keep undoing the edits or seek protection--88wolfmaster 02:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I've had an argument with a friend of mine over Shippo's gender. I think he's male as this article insinuates; but is there any evidence in the show to prove this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.115.206.253 ( talk) 00:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
Once and for all I'm putting this to rest because I'm tired of having to change the spelling back again. It is Tessaiga. There is a note at Tessaiga's article page and the talk page [1] explaining the whole matter -- 88wolfmaster 19:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Why is this argument even going on? The anime clearly spells it as "Tetsusaiga" - check out episode 34, it spells it with a T. I don't know where you got Tessaiga from 88wolfmaster - it sounds like a double s but in the English language and in many languages too, some things are not spelt the way they are pronounced. Tourskin 03:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
so now are they going to make new episodes once the manga gets longer or is it just dead now? Inuxshinedown 02:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Under the manga headline, it says that Viz Media "flips" the comic. This isn't true. I have read and seen the first three volumes of Viz Media's InuYasha (although I'm in Canada, it is not different) and there is no flipping. It is preserved right to left and even tells you if your reading it wrong.
Should this be changed? I can send a photo of my copy with the publisher's name available.

-Thanks, I do have the ani-manga. But what does that mean? Should it be noted on the page that they also publish that way?
Travis 20:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that the movie list uses the English cover for InuYasha the Movie numbers 2, 3, and 4, but the first one uses the Japanese cover. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the English cover for all of them?
(Oops, I meant to make a new topic. Also, how do I post pictures?)

The image of InuYasha which illustrates InuYasha (character) is going to be deleted unless someone can provide a reason why it is not a copyright violation. Immediate action is needed. JRSpriggs 05:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the trivia section, it looks like the last two don't pertain to the series. All they are are mentions of things that happened in episodes/chapters and not anything that pertains to the series as a whole. They either should be made more pertinent to the series or deleted completely. The other thing is the third and fourth which are pretty much unencyclopedic. I mean, who (other than fangirls) cares how many times Inuyasha kissed Kagome versus how many times he kissed Kikyo. Seriously? InsaneZeroG 05:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Removed Trivia Section. Incorporated info into allusion section in this article and notes under the List of InuYasha episodes article.-- 88wolfmaster 04:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I think the year Inuyasha is in is 1552 or somewhere near it. Base on historical notes I saw while watching the anime like the use of Tanegashimas, the first guns brought in by the Portugueses in 1543 as shown in episode 103. The Samurai leader even said to Jakotsu that he would not know what those are if he was a ghost from 10 years ago, meaning that it was soon after that that the first Portuguese Traders came to Japan. Also in episode 8, Kagome thought the man was Oda Nobunaga in his younger days but was not him but Amari Nobunaga from the Takeda Clan. Amari also made a reference to Oda foolishness as Oda was considered a fool when he was younger. Nobunaga have lived from 1534 to 1582. So that is my theory, what do you think about it? Freedom Fighter 1988 03:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
It's common knowledge that the feudal era date in the series is somewhere in the 1500s, and the dates you just mentioned sound reasonable. I wish I knew the exact date, but somewhere is the 1550 range sounds about right. -- Mathew Williams 12:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
The article on the plot of InuYasha has been nominated for deletion. Please go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plot of InuYasha and express your views on whether Plot of InuYasha is needed. JRSpriggs 08:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Well that sucks. Other TV series' have their own plot articles, why did they get rid of this one? -- Mathew Williams 09:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Before it was destroyed I copied it. I could create a sandbox for it on my talk page and we edit that as the plot page and then when the manga resolves we can recreate the plot page with that. What do you think? 207.69.137.36 20:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I am. I just do not want you guys to know who I am yet. So what do you think of my idea? 207.69.137.21 14:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Its true - there is a petition right here: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/inuyasha.html To get more InuYasha episodes. Fellow Fans, sign it!!! So maybe we should include this somewhere in the article? Tourskin 20:47, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Not really. Its showing what is currently going on right now. There are many people interested in InuYasha wondering what will happen to the anime which all of a sudden stopped whilst they were hunting Naraku. I am confident that if it came down to a consensus, which I understand it won't, many would want it to stay. In what way is it unencyclopedic? Tourskin 20:19, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I admire your neutrality and see your point. I just want more episodes!!!! Tourskin 18:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
I like the anime, but the manga is better, and I don't really see the point of continuing the anime, despite ending without a conclusion. The story continues in the manga (which is the original story anyway, as opposed to the anime, which is based on it), so I'm satisfied with that. It would take too long to catch up to the manga at this point anyway. -- Mathew Williams 07:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
In some episodes of the series I've seen, Kagome brings a bicycle with her into the past, yet no one, not even the peasants, seem to react to it as if it were anything unusual, which they should since bicycles were not invented until the 19th century! Is this a plot hole, or has it been explained somewhere? - Wilfredo Martinez 14:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
actually Inuyasha and Miroku make a point about Kagome's wierd contraption - especially Inuyasha who asks Kagome to get rid of "that metal contraption" and use him as a ride, which she does frequently. Besides, what JRSpriggs said too! Tourskin 18:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
You're treading on dangerous ground for mentioning the phrase "plot hole". The phrase usually only refers to the most extreme continuity errors and such. The bicycle is a minor detail, and several characters have reacted to it. Also, like JRSpriggs mentioned, the villagers live in a world full of demons. They aren't going to be overly concerned about a metal contraption. -- Mathew Williams 08:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Dangerous, eh? Gee, I didn't know posting in Wikipedia was a matter of life or death :p (Sorry, but that comment deserved that.) OK, plot hole is too big a term, since the bicycle isn't important to the story, but you can't tell me that bringing a bicycle into the past and having common people not even notice it isn't a story error. It would be like bringing a flying car to the present and having no one gawk at it. And yes, that IS different than having demons around; especially if the latter have become commonplace (which they haven't, because the IY characters still react with bafflement at the various demon's forms and abilities.) At the very least, the author should either explain the lack of reactions or stop showing it altogether. - Wilfredo Martinez 13:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Don't attack the dude..! XD They treated at first to Kagoem being weird with the clothes she wore, so the villagers got used to her stuff - they knew she's from the future. And living in a demons' world is enough, just because they gey surprised by there forms (which in Episode 7, Inuyasha wasn't surprised at all about Sesshoumaru's transformation), still wouldn't explain that. Other villagers see a group of a a taijiya (demon slayer), Houshi, fox youkai, a cat, a hanyou and a weird dress girl. The bike is not the thing here.:D Plus, there are times between scenes which might do it, a filler, and, it's a small thing, who cares... plus, before episode 167, she loses her bike, so maybe the author also didn't want the bike. XD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.81.120.135 ( talk) 22:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Its hardly a male manga considering the huge Inuyasha and Sesshomaru female fan base out there. Tourskin 18:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
So basically its aimed at men, is what ur saying? Nonetheless, if you check out the video websites the vast majority of viewers, at leats from comments, are female.
Most (if not all) of the character pages have a relationship section. I would like to remove them, on the basis that these sections have no place in an encyclopedic work. Any useful information that is not in-verse, irrelevant, or unsourced claim/original research would be merged into the character pages.-- 88wolfmaster 03:38, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I think they shouldn't be. A essential part of Inuyasha plot is the relationships between the characters. After all, the whole thing started because of Onigumo's lust for Kikyo and the relationship between Kikyo and Inuyasha. Understanding the various connections between the characters can be daunting for someone who knows nothing of Inuyasha. The relationship section helps sort out the various love triangles (and other shapes. lol)for the wikipedia user. Showers 20:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh no, not the WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC argument again. The relationship sections are significant to the story, and help define the characters more accurately. I swear that a group of people are trying to systematically wipe out the InuYasha articles. -- Mathew Williams 08:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm not trying to remove any InuYasha articles, i'm actually trying to make them FA/GA articles. I'm not saying we get rid of all the content just the actual section. Think of the section like a trivia section, i want to remove the unnecessary information and intergrate the important stuff into their respective character articles. If you take a look here you have a rehash of a character overview along with how InuYasha relates to them (how is that more concise and organized). Take Sesshomaru for instantance why can that not just be integrated with his page (if most of it isn't already on or implied their). These sections have no purpose other than to collect in-verse and/or original research tags. The information could be streamlined onto their respect character pages.-- 88wolfmaster 08:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Well how about we just clean up the sections for now. I'd really love the articles to be GA/FA (but never at the cost of quality of the article itself). Lets just see how the clean up goes before we continue.-- 88wolfmaster 02:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Just a thought, maybe someone can mention that Inuyasha likes potato chips lol... I was just watching the show and the first thing I saw was "Yay dried potatoes!" -- 71.79.130.34 06:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
It's only a minor detail, it probably doesn't belong in the InuYasha (character) article. There isn't even any mention for his love of ramen, which is far more notable than his taste for potato chips. Mathew Williams 06:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
There's one thing I'd like to point out about the InuYasha articles. When referring to attack names and such, the articles seem to constantly switch back and forth between English and Japanese, which gets confusing after a while. This is an English encyclopedia, shouldn't they be in English? There are exceptions of course, mainly characters and items that use the Japanese names even in the English version. However, I think that the attack names, and anything else that uses the English names in the manga/anime should be in English with a Japanese translation in parentheses, not the other way around. -- Mathew Williams 10:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
The only sections that I know for sure can be in English are the attack names, like you said, but in the case of objects with several English names, I guess the only option would be to list the most commonly used one first or the official English name, if there is one. By the way, the English manga has a ways to go before it catches up to the Japanese version, but what does the Meidou Zangetsuha attack translate as? The literial translation probably won't end up being the "official" name, but it would be a good starting point for the articles on Tessaiga and Tenseiga. -- Mathew Williams 00:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
-- quick note, although this series may have its followers i doubt that it is regarded (as it states in the first sentence) as "the best manga and anime series in the world" it would appear that wiki-vandals have now crossed genders too :P
I don't vandalise pages, so it wasn't me, if that's what you're getting at. Why did you post that in this topic instead of making your own anyway? -- Mathew Williams 00:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia does have a policy: use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things. The problem is that their is no definite common name for a lot of items in InuYasha (the names and attacks perhaps). What needs to be done is we need to sit down and agree on what to use and then go through ALL articles and conform to that agreement. but reaching said agreement could be difficult, so for now I suggest we slowly and carefully transfer the names of attacks b/c i am sure we could come to an agreement on those rather swiftly.-- 88wolfmaster 03:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh please, why do we need to dub stuff online too? This is English encyclopedia, not a dubbed one. The attack should be called as it is, and not as it's dubbed. The Kaze no Kizu is what it is, Wound of the Wind, but the name is still Kaze no Kizu. It's like calling someone Moon instead of Luna. XD Just because it means it in English, it doesn't mean the name is that. Kaze no Kizu means Wind Wound or Wind Scar, but it is still named Kaze no Kizu, just because it's an attack doesn't mean its name should be changed. Would you do that to a person called Luna? Seriously, and don't say, it's a person, it's somthing else. Please remember, we say what the attack it called and we can give a translation to it (there should be a page for each attack too), but we can't dub it. The Medidou example is great. The translation will be different in the dubbed anime or manga, so it should just be Meidou even after there's a dub version to it. Why the hell do names need version? A translation to them is enough, not a version... ---Inuyasha Bandicoot, November 6th, 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.81.120.135 ( talk • contribs)
it seems the voice actors page was redirect, and a section created on this page. I think that instead we should just integrate the data into the character pages (whatever isn't already on them) because the section is too trival for the main article.-- 88wolfmaster 05:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that as well. It makes alot more sense to move the voice actors section to the character articles. The voice actors are revelant to the characters, but not the anime series in general. -- Mathew Williams 18:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I wish i had the time to do this, but another article is keeping me pretty tied up at the moment. Does anyone have the time to move the voice actors to the character pages?-- 88wolfmaster 04:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I finished moving the info and deleted the Voice Actors section. Showers 17:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
I have noticed that there is a strong correlation between the complexity of the drawing of a character's eyes and his/her importance to the story. Where would be a good place to have a discussion of character's eyes and their significance? Should it be a separate article? Or is this too OR-ish to mention at all? JRSpriggs 21:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Isn't Season four upto episode 110? Not 99? Tourskin 03:48, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
I think the reason they did that was because seasons 5 and 6 have over 30 episodes each, so they'll probably slit everything up so that they can still have only 4-5 disks in each box set.

Well, if info on it was on official sites, they would I guess. InuyashaWorld gives good info, so unless you got something that is still not approved it's ok.

The color of Kirara's fur in the characters section keeps getting changed to yellow. I believe it to be cream-colored and I want to avoid an edit war. Anyone have an official source on this? Most references I find online refer to her fur color as cream as well, but they are hardly reputable sources being fansites. Showers 20:42, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I, too, have noticed this, and tend to agree here. If you look at the bottom-left corner of the television screen at the aforementioned point in episode 16, you can see his genitals and therefore assume he is male. I think issues regarding gender implications due to conflicts in translation are simply mistakes made by translators, as is the Tessaiga versus Tetsusaiga issue. Mizu onna sango15 07:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, it really all depends on whether or not Wikipedia guidelines specify whether or not we base spelling accuracy upon actual, verifiably correct translation, or whatever mistakes Viz made. Yes, we are talking about the English Wikipedia, but if it really is to be pronounced "Tessaiga," than that's how it should be, regardless of whether or not it shows up like that on the English subtitles. If we're going for accuracy, "Tessaiga" should be used instead of "Tetsusaiga." That's just my opinion. Mizu onna sango15 18:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
It is my understanding that the newest volume of InuYasha is coming out January 8th, 2008, according to Wikipedia. Precisely what anime episodes does this new volume cover, and what are Takahashi Rumiko's plans for the manga in the future? Does she plan on continuing InuYasha, or ending the series where the anime stopped? Mizu onna sango15 19:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I just checked the scheduling information on Adult Swim's website (see [3]) and it says that this Friday night (really Saturday morning) is the last time that episodes of InuYasha will be shown for the foreseeable future. I suggest that all of us who are fans of the show urge them to bring it back. JRSpriggs 01:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
The above info is incorect(see Link) http://www.adultswim.com/shows/inuyasha/. Amreatsf4620 06:17, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the Adult Swim website again and considering that they would almost certainly jump back to episode 1 rather than episode 3 to start over, I now think that InuYasha has replaced Voltron in the schedule on the week-ends as well as during the week. In other words, InuYasha is now on seven days per week at 5:00 a.m.. JRSpriggs 07:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

As a compromise, I've set it to 60 days. Though that still seems excessive, to me. 14 days is the default, so 30 is already twice as long as that. 60 is longer than what is found on most articles. Most contributions will happen in the first 30 days on a decently active article like this one is. Don't forget, the archiver will only archive something if it has no comment for those days, so now threads will sit here for 60 days without comment before commenting rather than 30 days.

Most of the things in this article, specifically names, are written in the style of the English translation (Kikyou becomes Kikyo, Inuyasha becomes InuYasha, etc.) however, it refers to Inuyasha's sword as 'Tessaiga', the Japanese spelling. I think that we should change all mentions of 'Tessaiga' to 'Tetsuaiga', for consistency. 71.115.194.226 ( talk) 20:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I thought we settled this. The Viz website uses the mis translation. The small tsu also has its own name which is sokuon and it occurs before kana beginning with k, s, t or p, and acts to double or emphasize the consonant. For example, the name Duke is written as dukku in romaji. -- 88wolfmaster ( talk) 02:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Recently, I thought about putting Category:Time travel in fiction or similar here but was hoping someone could share their views beforehand. Does a magical well count as a form of time traveling (eg, from present-day Japan to Sengoku era)? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 18:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I had a talk here with JRSpriggs concerning genres and would like to hear ideas from other "InuYasha experts". WP:MOS-AM#Content gives us the opportunity of 2 or 3 genres per article, no more than that. JRSpriggs, in the discussion, claimed that horror fiction could be one of them. I on the other hand, am more unsure now than I was before arranging the ones we currently have. After doing considerable literature research, I've come up with three possible solutions:
Adventure;
Sengoku era
sword and sorcery
Adventure;
Sengoku era
horror fiction
Adventure;
Sengoku era
historical fantasy
This may be very tough to decide since it comes down to picking the best one for the article while thinking they all make sense. Unfortunately, the guideline doesn't work like that. If you ask me, options #1 and #3 make the most sense, though I still can't decide on one of them. Thoughts anyone? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 19:44, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
I vote for option #4:
Adventure;
Sengoku era
fantasy
Why do we have to use sub-genres that do not quite fit? --

To Sesshomaru: I could accept either way. The films exist, but they are not the most important part of the franchise. JRSpriggs ( talk) 12:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
The subject was never fully settled, I think, on dealing with some names. WhisperToMe brought up the issue of Tessaiga versus Tetsusaiga over on at the project, but I'm going to move the discussion here to ensure its available to all editors and in the article's talk archive for future referencing. First, here is WhisperToMe's original message and reasoning from the Tessaiga page (also posted to the project talk):
I propose that this is moved from Tessaiga to Tetsusaiga because:
- All known versions of InuYasha published in the English language by VIZ Media in the U.S., Canada, and the UK use "Tetsusaiga" - therefore the name is best known in the English-speaking world.
- There is known no reliable source that states that the change from Tessaiga to Tetsusaiga was an error on VIZ's part. See Wikipedia:RS - In order to make that assertion one must have a reliable source that explicitly states this. If we do not have a reliable source that states this, we cannot make that statement.
WhisperToMe ( talk) 05:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Now, for my view, I agree with WhisperToMe's arguements. Tetsusaiga is the official English spelling and no one has yet to provide an actual reliable source stating the Viz spelling is a mistake in the almost FOUR years this has been an issue. Even if it were, it would not matter. Per the MOS, we should be using the official English spelling for the article name and throughout the InuYasha articles. At best, there should just be the appropriate romanization in the nihongo template on Tetsusaiga's page. I believe there are some other InuYasha related articles/topics that may also have this same issue. I think its time to get them all out, and hashed out, so please point out any others in subsections of this topic for discussion. AnmaFinotera ( talk) 06:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you erachima. Tessaiga is consistently used. I for one do not believe it should be referred to as Tetsusaiga nor do I want to do the work required of a switch to ensure consistency. As for the OR claims, a rewording of the notes on the subject should be sufficient to correct this.-- 88wolfmaster ( talk) 23:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
So, may I start the move now? WhisperToMe ( talk) 22:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
So are you guys going to finishing the move anytime soon? Because, its not complete.--
88wolfmaster (
talk) 17:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
See Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_for_Japan-related_articles/tessaiga, where "Tessaiga" was the clear result.
(then) Despite the fact it was a translation error, Viz kept on using it. (WhisperToMe)
(now) We do not know whether VIZ goofed (WhisperToMe)

I've tagged Tetsusaiga for merging to InuYasha (character), and Tenseiga and Tōkijin for merging to Sesshomaru. None of the swords meet the qualifications of WP:FICT having no significant coverage in multiple third-party sources that would allow for the articles to be rewritten from a primarily out-of-universe perspective. Both primarily just repeat the same plot points and abilities already listed in their wielders articles. Thoughts? AnmaFinotera ( talk) 19:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), should we not move the Kirara article to Kilala and change her name throughout the articles? Romanization to either R or L is equally accurate, and the name is pronounced Kilala in English, and should be written so here in the English Wikipedia. After all, we use Krillin and not Kuririn. -- AvatarMN ( talk) 10:00, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Kagome is the main character and also the narrorator. The story revoles around her, InuYasha, Naraku, and Kikyo. Also AvatarMN Kikyo didn't "decide" that Kagome would be the main charactor, when the series was created it was decided that Kagome would be Kikyo's reincarnation. The Shikon no Tama was in her body, not InuYasha's. On a final note do not forget that InuYasha would still be bound to the tree if Kagome hadn't pulled out the arrow. 71.126.79.98 ( talk) 10:33, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
May be both of them is better. On my opinion, Higurashi Kagome and Inu Yasha have the nearly same "main" characteristic. Furthermore, they are a couple and they work mostly together. As Inu Yasha appear, we can nearly see Kagome and vice versa. And, please Mr/Ms 71.126.79.98, the thing that Kagome is the narrator or whether she had pulled the arrow out of Inu Yasha have no meaning in deciding who is the main character. Many narrator are not the main character. And, Mrs Takahashi Rumiko did decide that Kagome would free Inu Yasha of the Tree of Ages, thus no "if" here !!!!

The Tessaiga, Tenseiga and Tokijin I think they have enough real-world notability. There are a considerable number of people know it.
Furthermore, can an article about the character have enough space to carry the information of the sword ? As we can see, the information about Tokijin, Tessaiga, Tenseiga in the article of Inu Yasha, Sesshomaru are written in summarized form. I think, the summarized information in the character's article can't be enough. Thus, these swords need their own article. If the articles about the swords and weapons in Inu Yasha are needed deleting, why there name are still in the specimen ?
And I still don't understand about the Tessaiga's information as I have stated. Now I can't find anything about Tessaiga in English Wikipedia.

OK, maybe the characters are drawn in a different way, more like in the manga in most of the movies but I remember in episode 137 the guys meet Hojo's ancestor without any kind of introduction before, and since the second movie where he first appears is released between episodes 95-96 my guess is that episode happens after the second movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.12.156.120 ( talk) 01:11, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Any consensus on which term should be preferred? Based on a quick glance through the manga resources, it's initially referred to in the first pages of the first Viz volume with the completely translated phrase "Jewel of Four Souls", but the half-translated phrase "Shikon Jewel" is introduced soon afterward, and then the terminology bounces back and forth between them; "Profiles" seems to use "Shikon Jewel" almost exclusively. -- Wombat1138 ( talk) 16:29, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

So, when Viz licensed the series, they first went Inu-Yasha, both as the name of the series and the main character. After they moved from their Viz Graphic Novel line to their Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line, they made a new logo and the series became InuYasha while the character himself became Inuyasha. This holds true for both the comic and the anime, as well as all other official sources (such as Viz' website). I guess I should mention that Inuyasha is now also used as the name of the series nowadays, like on Viz' website and on Hulu... But that isn't the point I'm trying to make. I'm just saying his name is Inuyasha, and has never been InuYasha, so I would like to correct this mistake on the various pages. Any objections? Linkdude20002001 ( talk) 21:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

– Despite the logo stylizing the name as "InuYasha", Viz never spells it that way. Both the character and the show are constantly refered to as "Inuyasha". Sources: the official "Inuyasha" page on Viz' website, Neon Alley, Hulu, the back description on the comics (the actual material in the comic itself uses all capital letters, so it's of no use), the back description on the DVDs and BDs, and the official subtitles.

Perhaps this is something of a strange entry to this article's many talk pages, but hear me out. As is, this article and the many articles under it are extremely extensive (I shudder to think what might happen when the Wiki purists get a hold of this and start nominating half of the lot for deletion as "non-notable"), however, I have noticed a glaring debacle. As a casual watcher of the anime since its run commenced some years ago in the States, gleaning information from relevant informational pages is difficult since little or no distinction separates instances and happenings in the animation from those in the manga, which I, and I imagine many other Wiki perusers, have not read. This makes many of the current articles, especially those on the main characters, slightly confusing to read, nevermind foiling plot aspects of the illustrated books (though that's mostly just whining on my part). Since this series, or rather, franchise, has two diverging continuities depending on the presented media, would it be unreasonable to suggest an initiative to split this article and the articles under it into continuity-specific versions of their current selves? You may wish to peruse the Fullmetal Alchemist series of articles for an example.

It's Tetsusaiga people, the "u" is a whisper vowel, so the sound kind of disappears, but they spelled it that way on the English anime, and that way translates into something in Japanese (I talked to someone who had just returned from living in Japan for 5 years about this, he's certain). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.133.169.234 ( talk • contribs) 04:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
It's T-e-s-s-a-i-g-a, trust me. Viz used Tetsusaiga because that's what THEY thought it was, as that's what it came out as when translated. Later, they discovered that this was a serious mistake, but that was the offical name they had already chosen. It was too late to change it to it's proper spelling, T-e-s-s-a-i-g-a. Most die hard InuYasha fans use this spelling, as it IS correct, as opposed to T-e-t-s-u-s-a-i-g-a.
Shouldn't official spelling be put above intended spelling?-- 70.212.28.73 00:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, unless the offical spelling is an error. Then the intended spelling should be used, as that is what was SUPPOSED to be used, until somebody screwed up.
To raise this topic again. InuYasha is very similar to shonen stories in its content. However, it is written by a woman, Rumiko Takahashi, and has a female main character, Kagome Higurashi. InuYasha (character) is clearly less sympathetic than Kagome and is forced to obey her. Thus I think that this is a woman's fantasy about how she would like to relate to a man. (InuYasha's paradoxical behavior is due to the mixed motivations of women — they want a powerful, uncaring, and domineering man, but they want to control him.) JRSpriggs 06:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
That's right. Plus, every manga she has drawn is for boys. Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1\2 are both boys series, thus they were published in Shonen Sunday. Maison Ikkoku, despite it's romantic girly feel, is also a manga for males, a seinen manga, as it was published in a magazine targeted at male adults 20-25 years of age. (A seinen magazine) That magazine was Big Comic Spirits. (Just for reference) And InuYasha, while containing romance, is a shonen manga, published, like Takahashi-sensei's first and third manga series, in Shonen Sunday. The romance is not really that important to the plot, it's simply a side story, generated to help keep readers interested. The main plot of killing Naraku is the central storyline. Therfore, InuYasha is NOT a shojo manga. (Otherwise, it would've been serialized, of course, in a shojo magazine)
when is inuyasha and kagome's birthday? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.178.67.155 ( talk • contribs).
Takahashi-sensei has never explicitly stated when their birthdays are. But since Kagome turned 15 in 1997, which is when the manga takes place (in the present dimension), we can conclude that she was born in 1982. (Which would make her around 24 now!) When, it hasn't been made clear. As for InuYasha, since Takhashi-sensei hasn't made clear WHEN in the Feudal Era the manga takes place (in the past dimension of course), we really can't tell when InuYasha was born. But since he's 500 years old, he had to have been born a long, long, long, long time ago. :P
I think we should add a settings section. what does everyone think?--88wolfmaster 05:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Once and for all I'm putting this to rest because I'm tired of having to change the spelling back again. It is Tessaiga. There is a note at Tessaiga's article page and the talk page [1] explaining the whole matter -- 88wolfmaster 19:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Why is this argument even going on? The anime clearly spells it as "Tetsusaiga" - check out episode 34, it spells it with a T. I don't know where you got Tessaiga from 88wolfmaster - it sounds like a double s but in the English language and in many languages too, some things are not spelt the way they are pronounced. Tourskin 03:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
so now are they going to make new episodes once the manga gets longer or is it just dead now? Inuxshinedown 02:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Under the manga headline, it says that Viz Media "flips" the comic. This isn't true. I have read and seen the first three volumes of Viz Media's InuYasha (although I'm in Canada, it is not different) and there is no flipping.

The image of InuYasha which illustrates InuYasha (character) is going to be deleted unless someone can provide a reason why it is not a copyright violation. Immediate action is needed. JRSpriggs 05:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the trivia section, it looks like the last two don't pertain to the series. All they are are mentions of things that happened in episodes/chapters and not anything that pertains to the series as a whole. They either should be made more pertinent to the series or deleted completely. The other thing is the third and fourth which are pretty much unencyclopedic. I mean, who (other than fangirls) cares how many times Inuyasha kissed Kagome versus how many times he kissed Kikyo. Seriously? InsaneZeroG 05:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Removed Trivia Section. Incorporated info into allusion section in this article and notes under the List of InuYasha episodes article.-- 88wolfmaster 04:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I think the year Inuyasha is in is 1552 or somewhere near it. Base on historical notes I saw while watching the anime like the use of Tanegashimas, the first guns brought in by the Portugueses in 1543 as shown in episode 103. The Samurai leader even said to Jakotsu that he would not know what those are if he was a ghost from 10 years ago, meaning that it was soon after that that the first Portuguese Traders came to Japan. Also in episode 8, Kagome thought the man was Oda Nobunaga in his younger days but was not him but Amari Nobunaga from the Takeda Clan. Amari also made a reference to Oda foolishness as Oda was considered a fool when he was younger. Nobunaga have lived from 1534 to 1582. So that is my theory, what do you think about it? Freedom Fighter 1988 03:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
It's common knowledge that the feudal era date in the series is somewhere in the 1500s, and the dates you just mentioned sound reasonable. I wish I knew the exact date, but somewhere is the 1550 range sounds about right. -- Mathew Williams 12:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Before it was destroyed I copied it. I could create a sandbox for it on my talk page and we edit that as the plot page and then when the manga resolves we can recreate the plot page with that. What do you think? 207.69.137.36 20:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Its true - there is a petition right here: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/inuyasha.html To get more InuYasha episodes. Fellow Fans, sign it!!! So maybe we should include this somewhere in the article? Tourskin 20:47, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Not really. Its showing what is currently going on right now. There are many people interested in InuYasha wondering what will happen to the anime which all of a sudden stopped whilst they were hunting Naraku. I am confident that if it came down to a consensus, which I understand it won't, many would want it to stay. In what way is it unencyclopedic? Tourskin 20:19, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I admire your neutrality and see your point. I just want more episodes!!!! Tourskin 18:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
I like the anime, but the manga is better, and I don't really see the point of continuing the anime, despite ending without a conclusion. The story continues in the manga (which is the original story anyway, as opposed to the anime, which is based on it), so I'm satisfied with that. It would take too long to catch up to the manga at this point anyway. -- Mathew Williams 07:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
In some episodes of the series I've seen, Kagome brings a bicycle with her into the past, yet no one, not even the peasants, seem to react to it as if it were anything unusual, which they should since bicycles were not invented until the 19th century! Is this a plot hole, or has it been explained somewhere? - Wilfredo Martinez 14:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
actually Inuyasha and Miroku make a point about Kagome's wierd contraption - especially Inuyasha who asks Kagome to get rid of "that metal contraption" and use him as a ride, which she does frequently. Besides, what JRSpriggs said too! Tourskin 18:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
You're treading on dangerous ground for mentioning the phrase "plot hole". The phrase usually only refers to the most extreme continuity errors and such. The bicycle is a minor detail, and several characters have reacted to it. Also, like JRSpriggs mentioned, the villagers live in a world full of demons. They aren't going to be overly concerned about a metal contraption. -- Mathew Williams 08:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Dangerous, eh? Gee, I didn't know posting in Wikipedia was a matter of life or death :p (Sorry, but that comment deserved that.) OK, plot hole is too big a term, since the bicycle isn't important to the story, but you can't tell me that bringing a bicycle into the past and having common people not even notice it isn't a story error. It would be like bringing a flying car to the present and having no one gawk at it. And yes, that IS different than having demons around; especially if the latter have become commonplace (which they haven't, because the IY characters still react with bafflement at the various demon's forms and abilities.) At the very least, the author should either explain the lack of reactions or stop showing it altogether. - Wilfredo Martinez 13:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Don't attack the dude..! XD They treated at first to Kagoem being weird with the clothes she wore, so the villagers got used to her stuff - they knew she's from the future. And living in a demons' world is enough, just because they gey surprised by there forms (which in Episode 7, Inuyasha wasn't surprised at all about Sesshoumaru's transformation), still wouldn't explain that. Other villagers see a group of a a taijiya (demon slayer), Houshi, fox youkai, a cat, a hanyou and a weird dress girl. The bike is not the thing here.:D Plus, there are times between scenes which might do it, a filler, and, it's a small thing, who cares... plus, before episode 167, she loses her bike, so maybe the author also didn't want the bike.

Its hardly a male manga considering the huge Inuyasha and Sesshomaru female fan base out there. Tourskin 18:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
So basically its aimed at men, is what ur saying? Nonetheless, if you check out the video websites the vast majority of viewers, at leats from comments, are female.
Most (if not all) of the character pages have a relationship section. I would like to remove them, on the basis that these sections have no place in an encyclopedic work. Any useful information that is not in-verse, irrelevant, or unsourced claim/original research would be merged into the character pages.-- 88wolfmaster 03:38, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I think they shouldn't be. A essential part of Inuyasha plot is the relationships between the characters. After all, the whole thing started because of Onigumo's lust for Kikyo and the relationship between Kikyo and Inuyasha. Understanding the various connections between the characters can be daunting for someone who knows nothing of Inuyasha. The relationship section helps sort out the various love triangles (and other shapes. lol)for the wikipedia user. Showers 20:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh no, not the WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC argument again. The relationship sections are significant to the story, and help define the characters more accurately. I swear that a group of people are trying to systematically wipe out the InuYasha articles. -- Mathew Williams 08:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm not trying to remove any InuYasha articles, i'm actually trying to make them FA/GA articles. I'm not saying we get rid of all the content just the actual section. Think of the section like a trivia section, i want to remove the unnecessary information and intergrate the important stuff into their respective character articles. If you take a look here you have a rehash of a character overview along with how InuYasha relates to them (how is that more concise and organized). Take Sesshomaru for instantance why can that not just be integrated with his page (if most of it isn't already on or implied their). These sections have no purpose other than to collect in-verse and/or original research tags. The information could be streamlined onto their respect character pages.-- 88wolfmaster 08:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Well how about we just clean up the sections for now. I'd really love the articles to be GA/FA (but never at the cost of quality of the article itself). Lets just see how the clean up goes before we continue.-- 88wolfmaster 02:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Just a thought, maybe someone can mention that Inuyasha likes potato chips lol... I was just watching the show and the first thing I saw was "Yay dried potatoes!" -- 71.79.130.34 06:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
It's only a minor detail, it probably doesn't belong in the InuYasha (character) article. There isn't even any mention for his love of ramen, which is far more notable than his taste for potato chips. Mathew Williams 06:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
There's one thing I'd like to point out about the InuYasha articles. When referring to attack names and such, the articles seem to constantly switch back and forth between English and Japanese, which gets confusing after a while. This is an English encyclopedia, shouldn't they be in English? There are exceptions of course, mainly characters and items that use the Japanese names even in the English version. However, I think that the attack names, and anything else that uses the English names in the manga/anime should be in English with a Japanese translation in parentheses, not the other way around. -- Mathew Williams 10:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
The only sections that I know for sure can be in English are the attack names, like you said, but in the case of objects with several English names, I guess the only option would be to list the most commonly used one first or the official English name, if there is one. By the way, the English manga has a ways to go before it catches up to the Japanese version, but what does the Meidou Zangetsuha attack translate as? The literial translation probably won't end up being the "official" name, but it would be a good starting point for the articles on Tessaiga and Tenseiga. -- Mathew Williams 00:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
-- quick note, although this series may have its followers i doubt that it is regarded (as it states in the first sentence) as "the best manga and anime series in the world" it would appear that wiki-vandals have now crossed genders too :P
I don't vandalise pages, so it wasn't me, if that's what you're getting at. Why did you post that in this topic instead of making your own anyway? -- Mathew Williams 00:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia does have a policy: use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things. The problem is that their is no definite common name for a lot of items in InuYasha (the names and attacks perhaps). What needs to be done is we need to sit down and agree on what to use and then go through ALL articles and conform to that agreement. but reaching said agreement could be difficult, so for now I suggest we slowly and carefully transfer the names of attacks b/c i am sure we could come to an agreement on those rather swiftly.-- 88wolfmaster 03:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh please, why do we need to dub stuff online too? This is English encyclopedia, not a dubbed one. The attack should be called as it is, and not as it's dubbed. The Kaze no Kizu is what it is, Wound of the Wind, but the name is still Kaze no Kizu. It's like calling someone Moon instead of Luna. XD Just because it means it in English, it doesn't mean the name is that. Kaze no Kizu means Wind Wound or Wind Scar, but it is still named Kaze no Kizu, just because it's an attack doesn't mean its name should be changed. Would you do that to a person called Luna? Seriously, and don't say, it's a person, it's somthing else. Please remember, we say what the attack it called and we can give a translation to it (there should be a page for each attack too), but we can't dub it. The Medidou example is great. The translation will be different in the dubbed anime or manga, so it should just be Meidou even after there's a dub version to it. Why the hell do names need version? A translation to them is enough, not a version... ---Inuyasha Bandicoot, November 6th, 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.81.120.135 ( talk • contribs)
it seems the voice actors page was redirect, and a section created on this page. I think that instead we should just integrate the data into the character pages (whatever isn't already on them) because the section is too trival for the main article.-- 88wolfmaster 05:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

The color of Kirara's fur in the characters section keeps getting changed to yellow. I believe it to be cream-colored and I want to avoid an edit war. Anyone have an official source on this? Most references I find online refer to her fur color as cream as well, but they are hardly reputable sources being fansites. Showers 20:42, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I, too, have noticed this, and tend to agree here. If you look at the bottom-left corner of the television screen at the aforementioned point in episode 16, you can see his genitals and therefore assume he is male. I think issues regarding gender implications due to conflicts in translation are simply mistakes made by translators, as is the Tessaiga versus Tetsusaiga issue. Mizu onna sango15 07:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, it really all depends on whether or not Wikipedia guidelines specify whether or not we base spelling accuracy upon actual, verifiably correct translation, or whatever mistakes Viz made. Yes, we are talking about the English Wikipedia, but if it really is to be pronounced "Tessaiga," than that's how it should be, regardless of whether or not it shows up like that on the English subtitles. If we're going for accuracy, "Tessaiga" should be used instead of "Tetsusaiga." That's just my opinion. Mizu onna sango15 18:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
It is my understanding that the newest volume of InuYasha is coming out January 8th, 2008, according to Wikipedia.

I just checked the scheduling information on Adult Swim's website (see [3]) and it says that this Friday night (really Saturday morning) is the last time that episodes of InuYasha will be shown for the foreseeable future.

Looking at the Adult Swim website again and considering that they would almost certainly jump back to episode 1 rather than episode 3 to start over, I now think that InuYasha has replaced Voltron in the schedule on the week-ends as well as during the week.

As a compromise, I've set it to 60 days. Though that still seems excessive, to me. 14 days is the default, so 30 is already twice as long as that. 60 is longer than what is found on most articles. Most contributions will happen in the first 30 days on a decently active article like this one is. Don't forget, the archiver will only archive something if it has no comment for those days, so now threads will sit here for 60 days without comment before commenting rather than 30 days.

Most of the things in this article, specifically names, are written in the style of the English translation (Kikyou becomes Kikyo, Inuyasha becomes InuYasha, etc.) however, it refers to Inuyasha's sword as 'Tessaiga', the Japanese spelling.

Recently, I thought about putting Category:Time travel in fiction or similar here but was hoping someone could share their views beforehand. Does a magical well count as a form of time traveling (eg, from present-day Japan to Sengoku era)? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 18:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I had a talk here with JRSpriggs concerning genres and would like to hear ideas from other "InuYasha experts". WP:MOS-AM#Content gives us the opportunity of 2 or 3 genres per article, no more than that. JRSpriggs, in the discussion, claimed that horror fiction could be one of them. I on the other hand, am more unsure now than I was before arranging the ones we currently have. After doing considerable literature research, I've come up with three possible solutions:
Adventure;
Sengoku era
sword and sorcery
Adventure;
Sengoku era
horror fiction
Adventure;
Sengoku era
historical fantasy
This may be very tough to decide since it comes down to picking the best one for the article while thinking they all make sense. Unfortunately, the guideline doesn't work like that. If you ask me, options #1 and #3 make the most sense, though I still can't decide on one of them. Thoughts anyone? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 19:44, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

The subject was never fully settled, I think, on dealing with some names. WhisperToMe brought up the issue of Tessaiga versus Tetsusaiga over on at the project, but I'm going to move the discussion here to ensure its available to all editors and in the article's talk archive for future referencing. First, here is WhisperToMe's original message and reasoning from the Tessaiga page (also posted to the project talk):
I propose that this is moved from Tessaiga to Tetsusaiga because:
- All known versions of InuYasha published in the English language by VIZ Media in the U.S., Canada, and the UK use "Tetsusaiga" - therefore the name is best known in the English-speaking world.
- There is known no reliable source that states that the change from Tessaiga to Tetsusaiga was an error on VIZ's part. See Wikipedia:RS - In order to make that assertion one must have a reliable source that explicitly states this. If we do not have a reliable source that states this, we cannot make that statement.
WhisperToMe ( talk) 05:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Now, for my view, I agree with WhisperToMe's arguements. Tetsusaiga is the official English spelling and no one has yet to provide an actual reliable source stating the Viz spelling is a mistake in the almost FOUR years this has been an issue. Even if it were, it would not matter. Per the MOS, we should be using the official English spelling for the article name and throughout the InuYasha articles. At best, there should just be the appropriate romanization in the nihongo template on Tetsusaiga's page. I believe there are some other InuYasha related articles/topics that may also have this same issue. I think its time to get them all out, and hashed out, so please point out any others in subsections of this topic for discussion. AnmaFinotera ( talk) 06:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you erachima. Tessaiga is consistently used. I for one do not believe it should be referred to as Tetsusaiga nor do I want to do the work required of a switch to ensure consistency. As for the OR claims, a rewording of the notes on the subject should be sufficient to correct this.-- 88wolfmaster ( talk) 23:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

See Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_for_Japan-related_articles/tessaiga, where "Tessaiga" was the clear result.

Kagome is the main character and also the narrorator. The story revoles around her, InuYasha, Naraku, and Kikyo.

The Shikon no Tama was in her body, not InuYasha's.

May be both of them is better. On my opinion, Higurashi Kagome and Inu Yasha have the nearly same "main" characteristic. Furthermore, they are a couple and they work mostly together. As Inu Yasha appear, we can nearly see Kagome and vice versa. And, please Mr/Ms 71.126.79.98, the thing that Kagome is the narrator or whether she had pulled the arrow out of Inu Yasha have no meaning in deciding who is the main character. Many narrator are not the main character. And, Mrs Takahashi Rumiko did decide that Kagome would free Inu Yasha of the Tree of Ages, thus no "if" here !!!!

Black Tetsusaiga just aired. There is a summary about it here: http://www.furinkan.com/iycompanion/anime/specials.html#1 -- 69.244.125.218 ( talk) 19:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Arising from the WP:AN3 report I have protected this page for 4 days. However if the recent editors can confirm that they will stop edit warring I will unprotect it, or you can request it from any admin at WP:RFPU. I have no objection to any admin removing the protection. Stifle ( talk) 14:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
If my memory is not bad:
Thus, I wonder if Tokijin was merged to Sesshomaru, will it be deleted as Tessaiga ?
And, I think Tokijin, Tessaiga, Tenseiga, etc are worthy enough to have their own pages.
Just my opinion and I'm very sorry if it's somewhat impolite, cause I'm not good at English.
Regards

The Tessaiga, Tenseiga and Tokijin I think they have enough real-world notability. There are a considerable number of people know it.
Furthermore, can an article about the character have enough space to carry the information of the sword ? As we can see, the information about Tokijin, Tessaiga, Tenseiga in the article of Inu Yasha, Sesshomaru are written in summarized form. I think, the summarized information in the character's article can't be enough. Thus, these swords need their own article. If the articles about the swords and weapons in Inu Yasha are needed deleting, why there name are still in the specimen ?
And I still don't understand about the Tessaiga's information as I have stated. Now I can't find anything about Tessaiga in English Wikipedia.

Thus, the Lightsabers of the Jedi Knights have enough condition to have their own article ? Actually I am still confused about it. Can you explain more about this problem ? Thank you very much.
And, you haven't answer about the fate of Tessaiga's information.
P.S: may be the IP now is different but I am the same person. I'm very sorry for all the inconvenient.

Where can we find the source which have the things that I have mentioned in the title ? (I'm really sorry that I can only read English sources.) Thanks. 137.132.250.12 ( talk) 12:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
That's my pathetic situation. Anyway, thank you very much for your helping. Regards. 137.132.250.12 ( talk) 20:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. Another name is Saya, the sheath of So'unga's spirit and the kanji name of Shippo's "girlfriend". I think may be it is harder for finding the kanji name of anime/movie-only characters, is that right ? Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.

OK, maybe the characters are drawn in a different way, more like in the manga in most of the movies but I remember in episode 137 the guys meet Hojo's ancestor without any kind of introduction before, and since the second movie where he first appears is released between episodes 95-96 my guess is that episode happens after the second movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.12.156.120 ( talk) 01:11, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Any consensus on which term should be preferred? Based on a quick glance through the manga resources, it's initially referred to in the first pages of the first Viz volume with the completely translated phrase "Jewel of Four Souls", but the half-translated phrase "Shikon Jewel" is introduced soon afterward, and then the terminology bounces back and forth between them; "Profiles" seems to use "Shikon Jewel" almost exclusively. -- Wombat1138 ( talk) 16:29, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I've commented out the image cite, since the Viz 2nd-edition 1st-volume manga cover has now been overwritten by what seems to be the logo for an IY followup anime. -- Wombat1138 ( talk) 23:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
There is a conversation about deleting a redirect for Sota Higurashi to List of InuYasha characters. The conversation seems to be going toward delete based on past consensus, but this consensus appears to be based largely on the opinion of one user. Can someone who is knowledgeable about these topics contribute to the discussion at the RfD? Thanks. — Zach425 talk/ contribs 08:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
The new series inuyasha the final act should be seperated from this article. It is quite different from the older anime and therefore needs to be removed or seperated from this article and we require a new picture for the anime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deepu 1992 ( talk • contribs) 05:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Someone has changed the info of the article, namely the info under the pic of the manga. Also it's in the plot and other parts of the article.
I don't know how to revert it to the original, nor do I have all the info for the original people cuz someone changed it.
This is definately vandalism. Please help! T_T

Reverted the vandalism that stated the series has only one volume (it has 56) and that it ended it's run one day after it began . I will look into who did this and will revert any of his aditions . -- New Babylon 2 ( talk) 14:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks New Babylon. I had a feeling something wasn't right when I saw the weird names and the volumes being only 1.
It was probably an anti-InuYasha fan or something....either that or a prankster.

Is it absolutely necessary that the number of Inuyasha: Kanketsu-hen episodes reflect the number that are actually released? We know that that there's gonna be 26... Karunyan ( talk) 09:10, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey someone keeps trying to add that title to the list of InuYasha films. Would anyone know why they are doing that? I never heard of a movie being made so I don't know where they're getting that. Besides, once the last episode airs why would there be another movie? Once Naraku dies, what villain would InuYasha and the gang have left? Did I miss something? HELP!

That is the most confusing and incoherent plot-line I have ever read. I haven't seen the show so would someone mind fixing it up a little for people who don't know what you're talking about?-- Jacksoncw ( talk) 19:37, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.

If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.

So, when Viz licensed the series, they first went Inu-Yasha, both as the name of the series and the main character. After they moved from their Viz Graphic Novel line to their Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line, they made a new logo and the series became InuYasha while the character himself became Inuyasha. This holds true for both the comic and the anime, as well as all other official sources (such as Viz' website). I guess I should mention that Inuyasha is now also used as the name of the series nowadays, like on Viz' website and on Hulu... But that isn't the point I'm trying to make. I'm just saying his name is Inuyasha, and has never been InuYasha, so I would like to correct this mistake on the various pages. Any objections? Linkdude20002001 ( talk) 21:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. A couple of histmerges also required. Jenks24 ( talk) 12:30, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
– Despite the logo stylizing the name as "InuYasha", Viz never spells it that way. Both the character and the show are constantly refered to as "Inuyasha". Sources: the official "Inuyasha" page on Viz' website, Neon Alley, Hulu, the back description on the comics (the actual material in the comic itself uses all capital letters, so it's of no use), the back description on the DVDs and BDs, and the official subtitles.

I know the English version uses Demon. I am not suggest to change the content but I am asking should there be a note that in the Japanese they are known as Youkai or hanyou. Youkai are not really the same thing as demons.
Also, with Shippo he is a kitsune (fox) youkai should that also be stated? Truthseeker1022 ( talk) 20:52, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
