Though normally a solid part of the ensemble, he gets his chance to shine when he decides to impress Lord Sesshomaru by stealing Inuyasha’s Tetsusaiga. Case in point, Sesshomaru’s right-hand demon, Jaken. One of the other great things that you can do with filler episodes is shine a spotlight on characters who are normally overlooked or treated as just part of the ensemble. Jaken’s Plan to Steal Tetsusaiga – Season 3 This time the solution just involves using a crossdressing Shippo as bait for a truly strange pig demon who’s kidnapped an unwitting Kagome. As usual, when the heroes stumble upon an innocent bystander in need of their help, they can’t say no. From the cultural festival to the show’s take on Journey to the West, they go from one strange crisis to another. Chokyukai and the Abducted Bride – Season 5įor a few episodes, Inuyasha and Kagome can’t catch a break.

The poorly written and frankly bizarre play that’s put on it is just the icing on the cake.

From poor Kagome’s plight as the class’ gofer to Inuyasha’s accidental blending in amongst the modern day, while he’s on his demon hunt, these two episodes will leave you in stitches.

It takes the usual premise of Inuyasha + modern-day stuff and just cranks it up to 11, adding demons and the traditional Japanese school festival plot in what’s actually a pretty inspired twist. This may be one of my favorite episodes of Inuyasha, filler or otherwise.
