Chapter 355

[DQBunny]

I just got finished reading it, and I'm sure that was no April Fool's joke. WOW....I'm agreeing with the author of ear-tweak.com, that is definitely my favorite chapter to date. Take the best of movie #2 and give it a manga twist and cram it into 18 pages and that's what this turned out to be.

At least we now know what the effect of Inuyasha using the shikon shards is.

I have to agree with DQBunny and Kuro. That was the most bestest chapter ever! I printed out all 17 pages (not including the title page) so that I didn't need to wait until it came out for sale in english.

But there was one thing that I noticed, correct me if i'm wrong, but is it possible that Inuyasha could've turned full demon since he was basically in contact with the shard? I mean when he turned back to normal the stripes were still there and he still had the big fangs. Or was it maybe because the shikon shard made him crazy at the time and since it was still in contact(basically) with him, that his appearance kinda stayed like that...... I can't come up with a certain answer..... plz someone help me understand!

I think it would be kinda neat if the stripes were permanant, but I doubt they are. However, this might be a new "power-up" move, now that he can sort of control it, so we might see sane youkai Inu again sometime.

Heh, I'd like to see Sesshoumaru's reaction to this one, though.

I can see this for sale. The new, improved sane youkai INUYASHA! Complete with Kagome waist attachment. ;D

INUYASHA: Heh-heh-heh... Now I'VE got face-stripes, too. Haha!

SESSHOUMARU: ......

INUYASHA: AND my sword is still better than yours.

SESSHOUMARU: ......

INUYASHA: And what's more... I HAVE THE DOG-EARS THAT GIRLS LOVE! And you're just stuck with that silly fluffy thing!!!

SESSHOUMARU: ......

The thing with the shikon power-up is that I think he was still in control of his mind, but it was his body that couldn't withstand the power. With Kagome's help, though... UBER-YASHA!!!

Hehe, and thanks DQ. That indeed was no April Fool's joke. Although the summary was. But I already got a few emails telling me the summary was farked up. XD

I didn't see any April Fool's summaries, though I did notice one of your links to the latest chapter was "Eating the Shard" instead of "Using the Shard." Was that it? lol, I must've missed it somehow.

Poor Kagome-chan -- her feet are pretty badly burned from the acid inside the ogre's stomach. Inuyasha's are as well, though as a hanyou - or whatever form he may be at the moment, - he'll heal pretty quickly. Wonder if there'll be a soft moment between the two in the next chapter. (:

And there's also the matter of our favorite houshi -- poisoned again by Naraku's Saimyoshou through his Kazaana and spending the last few chapter snoozing against Sango's bosom (his dream come true, too bad he as asleep). lol, glad he was determined to take Naraku down, but he certainly eliminated the easier way for everyone to survive inside that stomach while Inuyasha figured a way out. *shrugs* Regardless, perhaps there will be another soft moment between him and Sango as well. ^^

And then there's always the matter of Inuyasha's new look -- love the stripes, though I also agree that they're probably not permanent. Still, seeing how Inuyasha looks as a youkai-hanyou, not to mention it's also managed to inspire quite a few pictures from the Inuyasha fan art department.

Hmmm... I dunno, I didn't see anything that good in chapter 355. I'm sure it can get wayyy cuter than that. Oh well, I wish Rumiko Takahashi would stop stalling everything. ~_~
