You know for some reason, I'm imagining Sesshomaru owning some large Japanese business, being a CEO or something.

I grew up with the anime and got into the manga, but I was surprised that Kagome never tried to find out what happened to Inuyasha and their friends in her time. Are Inuyasha and Shippo still alive in modern Japan? Does Miroku and Sango’s bloodline still exist? What happened to Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Koga?

I'd say the tenseiga--the power to defeat your enemies is fascinating, yes, but that's not gonna help your buddies who've died and could use an HP restoration potion like 10 minutes ago.

It would have been hilarious if shishomaro turned up in Kagome's modern day Japan and when asked about how he got there he said I came the long way.

I think the Tensaiga is a much more interesting sword, because technically, any sword can take a life, if the fighter is a good enough sword fighter, but a sword that can bring back to life is a much more interesting item both strategically and naratively

You forgot about seshomaru mom , in that episode they show a castle in the sky or some like that that’s another way they can hide from humans

I like the humanoid demons blending in theory.

My condolences for your loss... Rip Rigby... Thanks for warning us about the plant. I really liked this video, because there aren't many youtubers that talk about Inuyasha, and that's my favorite anime of all time! Love your content in general!

I've never clicked on one of your videos so fast Tensaiga cause then I can bring back a recently pasted loved one

I feel a combination of your theories explains why the demons aren't in Kagome's present time.

My theory is Humans got tired of living in fear of Demons world-wide and with new technology and weaponry they started hunting Demons to near extinction, like the Salem Witch Trials, and Demons wisely went into hiding. It was Kagome going back in time that sent out a spiritual beacon, resulting in some Modern Demons like the Noh Mask to re-awaken and attempt to re-assert control. I'm actually doing something similar with my own story I'm writing called Blue Shogun.

I never paid attention to this. I only lived for the relationship of Kagome and Inuyasha

It's been so long since I have watched the series that I can't comment on the swords, but I think you are mostly spot on about it being a combination of things. If we look at the lore in other animes, such as Wolf Children or Pom Poko, the stronger demons integrate with society (and have children with humans), while the rest kind of just stay in the shadows or wilds. Even Nurarihyon No Mago, the demons strong enough take human form and live like humans in the public eye. I think with how much this is shown in anime, that Japanese culture in general assumes this. Also, so many hugs over your beloved pup!

I’m really sorry about your dog. On a note related to your video the biggest clue that I noticed in the show is how Sesshomaru states numerous times how he wants to create a great kingdom of demons which may have ended up being another plane in general. Also in an earlier episode Jaken says how he’s traveled many worlds with Sesshomaru. It’s quite possible they just decided to move worlds in general.

I know its only fiction and that a certain suspension of disbelief is required but....I really think they should have spent some time in canon explaining why demons went from being over-saturated to being all but extinct. But then who asked me? No one, of-course.

Everyone forgets the third sword their father made. Sounga, the sentient sword from Hell.

My condolences for your loss. Having to talk about it must've been so difficult so thank you so much for spreading the word.

I would say that your explanation of them going to "spirit world" makes the most sense. The series YuYu Hakusho explains it that way on season 4 in regards to the demons in that series

Tenseiga. Consider its complete list of powers: - Protection barrier/teleporter. Like the egg in Chrono Cross, makes a barrier to defend its owner and teleports them to safety if they are in mortal danger. Basically, limited immortality. - Reviving lives (once). Even with its limitations, the power of healing is awesome, and in the vents where you have to use it, invaluable. - Undead Bane. The sword cannot kill the living (Medeo aside), but can absolutely kill netherworld creatures AND zombies (such as the father of the rival demon clan.)- Netherworld protection. The sword allows one to pass the gateway to the underworld, and seems to prevent the person from dying while there, or their soul being trapped there. - The Medeo - power to slash creating portals to the underworld, dragging those struck there with it. - Still a sword - while not killing, its blade can still clash and parry with other swords, meaning you can still fight with it, you just can't KILL with it. So you have two forms of protection (barrier/teleport and netherworld), a semi-heal/revive from death, and the power to kill the undead/netherworld lives as well as the living through the netherworld portal generating Medeo, while still being able to clash against actual swords and other weapons. It literally has everything. Even in its base, unmastered form, it has the barrier/teleport and is still a sword. Those are its BASE powers, without any mastery at all. . Also...I'm really sorry about your loss. :( Life is....life. Fleeting, but beautiful...

Oh my gosh Megan, I am so sorry about your baby Rigby 😯😟 I was simply going to comment thanking you for getting me into all these awesome, fascinating movies and shows, but instead I will give my condolences on your heartbreaking loss. You and your family seem like such great, amazing people and I'm sure you gave Rigby a fun, loving, and wonderful life. I know what it's like to lose a member of your family and I offer you my warm, compassionate energy and hope that you remember all the happy times with your dog. Cheers, and have a good week, my friend. You deserve it. P.S. I started typing this before you were finished talking and I am so sorry for your loss of Moxy as well. I bet they had such wonderful, spoiled and happy lives with you and your kids and husband. I am hugging my kitty Mr Amy right now as we speak (er.. as I type). Lots of friendly love, Adrian. And hey don't worry, I needed a good cry. 😗😉

I’ve been pondering this question for years. I’ve never expected anyone to actually talk about it.

I always thought both swords balanced each other out. In a way they are the perfect weapons for a peaceful god. One blade to destroy their enemy and a another blade to give them life as a sign of mercy.

I don't know what sword I'd pick because the Tenseiga has the power to revive 100 lives with a single stroke & the Tetseiga was forged to protect by destroying 100 with a single stroke. Also if you ask me it's okay to cry in front of people every now & then, also I promise I will hug my Dog & 3 cats for you & tell & show how much I love & cherish them & how close to my heart they are, I'll do that for you & everyone else who has lost a pet, because I even lost pets & human family members before & everytime that happened it was like a hole was placed in my heart that even today has never been placed, because nothing can truly take there place ever, because that's how close to your heart they will always be. I heard someone once say that scars & wounds on the surface of your skin will heal & go over time, but the scars & wounds of your heart will never truly go away, but they can make us stronger in a person both physically & emotionally, then we currently are now overtime. Now I don't know if that's true or if anyone believes it, but I think it's true & I believe it.

Thank you fangirl so freaking much!!!💕 I love inuyasha so much to this day since I was in middle school. I would love if they continued the show again but focus on ren and inuyashas brother but still get glimpses into kagome and inuyashas life!

May you be comforted amongst all of us who mourn for our animals.

There are alot of stories around the world where even the ungly demons would go out and steal women as there mates or compel them to be there bride even make a contract where if a deal wasn't paid they would forfeit their hand these are only a couple of stories known around the world so even if it was possible it wouldn't be many and I'm sure once the locals and Hero's of their era found out they were slain Fangirl definitely larger theory on the spirit world I totally agree with that one I also like the one about the demon hierarchy blending in with human beings

Tetsaiga because it has different abilities and for the tensaiga it can only bring back a dead person once but not again.

To be fair, he didn’t know he was going to marry her when he told her she should change her name. And she did have the same name as the one demon that if I’m remember correctly wanted to eat him.

if the tensaga still has the portal opening to hell powers then Id say its better, it seems very grim reaper. You can send people to hell and bring back the dead if you want. Almost like a god. Very interesting idea.

For a possible answer about what happened to the demons I refer you to another anime called kurasame kiss watch that one if you haven't already and that gives a example of Over Yonder maybe that's what happened to the same thing in the demons in InuYasha as world and of course tensiga better than the tenseiga but then the tenseiga also has its uses

The best sword is Lord Sesshōmaru's attitude. :D

I have that same kirara doll!

This is solidly in my wheelhouse! I've always wondered about this but never formed a theory. God I love Inuyasha I just started rewatching it. I am determined to get to the Final Act!!

I've never watched one of your videos before but my heart breaks for you. Seeing your pain put a lump in my throat. Sometimes things just happen and we can't beat ourselves up about it. In the very least maybe your boys misfortune and your message saved another furry little life. I know it's not much but I'm sorry for your loss💜💜💜

I really enjoyed your spirit world explanation! As soon as you mentioned the black pearl I went “gasp!” I was shook, keep doing it!

I think used right they both can be powerful.

Okay, that's almost SPOOKY how closely our theories match! I even THOUGHT of deforestation, but wasn't sure how to break that down for the demonic realm.

I love ur kilala plushie!!! where did u get it :O

"And although Jinenji is super sweet and all... Yeah... I don't see any woman cuddling up next to him to reproduce." Ma'am we go to very different corners of the internet ;-P

Awesome video. You're so cool. ♥️💜. It's hard to pick which sword is better, they are powerful in their own ways. Interesting theory. Makes sense to me. Keep on making more Magical videos. 💗💕. Tenseiga is kind of cool because it can bring people back to life but then it's hard to pick just one. That is just my opinion. Sorry for your loss. I lost my dog Buddy three months ago.

Given my preference tawords being a healer and support in games I'd probably use tenseiga it's the perfect weapon for a healer. Also if I remember there are still demons in kagomés time period like that mask and a certain sword also I remember a friend of mine once made their own fan story linking inuyashas world with the world of berserk and oh man that...yeah that was interesting.

my favorite inuyasha demon is forever gonna be the mask, that came from an evil tree because of the shikonottama

I love your channel so much! I am so sorry about your pup. Thank you for sharing so important! And once we know better we can all do better. Ill be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers

I loved inyashua it’s my favorite anime. As for the better sword. Tensiga may be cool and have cool abilities only problem is most of the time you have to kill powerful demons (as is the case with the adamant barrage) and some ability become completely useless (red tensiga ability to break any barriers was countered by nurakus stronger barrier and thier was one demon that nurakus kid (can’t remember his name) killed that had stronger armor.) not to mention it’s a heavy weapon if you or a relative don’t put one of your teeth into making it. Also it doesn’t work in the present time so yeah... The tensaga on the other hand is easier to wield can save the life’s of people. (Granted once) allows you to go to the spirt world, and if your trained well enough you can make gates to the spirt world to send your enemy’s in like it’s a black hole. Also I can’t remember the third one from one of the movies the one that could raise 100 men from the dead. That sword was kinda cool in design and ability.

First time I watched InuYasha and Naraku was gone, hiding inside a spiritual barrier from a certain mount, at first I wondered if he hadn't in fact, found a way to access the Well and was hiding in the future. This would be a hell of an arc, possibly "final act" material. Naraku attracted for all the ressentment Houjou have for Kagome never corresponding his love, and making him his ultimate vessel. And with a much larger population, and consequent negative feelings to feed him and other youkais, Modern Japan would make Naraku even stronger.

Tensaiga due to the fact that it held the ultimate power move to end Naraku. But also the fact that you had to be compassionate to unlock this move. I love it!!

Yayyy another Inuyasha theory I Love this anime ❤️❤️ also I need that kelala plush behind you and I think the Tensaiga is the better weapon but the Tensaga is also a useful weapon to have And rip your beautiful dog may he may I feel so sorry for you I know what’s it’s like to lose a dog

They were both powerful, and could help carry a story, but in completely different ways. The Tenseiga could resurrect the dead, heal the wounded, and kill beings that were not from the world of the living, such as spirits, hellhounds, the undead, and other creatures that were native to the Netherworld. But in a regular battle, it was useless as it couldn’t kill the living. Whereas the Tetsusaiga had the power to slay 100 demons in one swing, and it also had the ability to keep getting stronger by absorbing power from strong demons. One helped tell the story of Inuyasha, the other could’ve been used to tell a story more like The Rising of the Shield Hero. Also, Adamant Barrage fired a barrage of diamond shrapnel that they easily could’ve gotten rich off of. Why didn’t they ever take advantage of that?!? At the very least they should’ve collected the diamonds after the battles!

I always thought what happened to all the demons in inuyasha whenever kagome went back into the modern time

Yeah! What happened to all of the demon genres in anime? I fell in love with YuYu Hakusho, and Inuyasha, which were both demon genres. These shows made demons cool, and mmI loved how they explored demon lore and hell. In YuYu Hakusho the human world and demon world are separate. Watch YuYu Hakusho. A spiritual barrier prevents the human world and Demon World from merging, but in the Yu Yu Hakusho movie, and one episode, the Demon World and human world run the risk of merging again, and humans are at risk of demons roaming the Earth again the way they did in ancient times. The same basic logic applies for all Demon Lore animes. The human world and Demon World, or the human world in spirit world are separate, but were once merged during ancient times allowing demons to walk among humans. I love demon lore in anime. If you love demon lore, watch YuYu Hakusho.

Isn’t that kinda a trick question? Because the tetseiga and tetsaiga were originally one sword. Then again it’s been awhile so I could be wrong.

Yes another Inuyasha video Edit: I made it till the end also plz do more Inuyasha videos I love Inuyasha and I love bringing topics up for this anime

i'd say tetseiga because it has abilities that are amazing my favorite is the backlash wave

Thank you for this video! I love Inuyasha 💕 one of my faves from my childhood. Sadly I do think most of them become extinct :/ In my opinion Tenseiga is more powerful, Cuz you can resurrect people and go to the Netherworld.

Reaction to title: oh my gosh this has always been something that I wondered Tetsusaiga v Tenseiga prompt: well in this day an age a normal killing sword isn’t that useful but there are alway people dying that you can save, so tenseiga now tetsusaiga when fighting was important I like the theory with the demons blending into normal society. With the religious figures picking off the demons with more demonic features, it’s possible that the surviving ones became so human like with natural selection, that nobody can tell the difference between humans and demons in the modern era. Maybe some demons don’t even know what they are and that’s where birth defects come from in the modern era. The more you think about it, the more it makes sense Also sorry for your dog, may he rest in piece, and may your psa save the lives of countless other pets

Really loved this video. Me personally I believe with the age of technology coming into effect. The Humans gained more power, and there for started to hunt down the demons out of fear, or that age old human thought process "Kill them they are different". Unlike the tech that Sango and her village had a new age of demon hunters probably emerged. Once the demons were all gone... then the need for demon slayers deceased. I also believe that some demons can time travel like Inu yasha... so some may have survived like you suggested, and just blended in with normal society, while the majority died. Good video really gets you to thinking.

That was the BEST explanation for these questions, and it's exactly what I imagined. Thank you! I'm sorry about your dog 😢 I've lost many pets myself, just recently my oldest cat died, and also had to bury a couple new babies.

Tensegia is the better sword since the power to bring back the dead is the kind of thing that makes people fallow you and make you their king

Both swords ⚔️ because they come with there own tests

Thank you for warning us about the plant that your dog my dog loves eating things outside I'm going to make sure none of these are around I'm sorry for your lost best wishes

Thank you for sharing your awful tragedy. I too am a pet owner and grew up with all kinds of animals in our home. My family instilled a love of animals going back to my great grandparents on my mother's side. I feel your loss and the pain that has come with it. I do hope one day you will adopt another animal and create new memories. Thank you

Love this deep lore! Didn't even think of the eye to the spirit world!

Made it to the end. I’ll be sure to give Mike, my dad’s service dog a hug.

Chocolate, grapes, and they usually don't eat grass unless their stomach hurts.

Actually a woman could cuddle up to that “ugly demon” throughout history we see one of those rare women pop up and get with a deformed man. Beauty and the beast is based on a true story minus the magic. She fell for a hairy man. They had kids. Their kids were paid and paraded around as entertainment because they were so unusual.

In my theory, maybe demons in inuyasha decide to go into other dimensions where only them lives and left the world for mortals.

I LOVED THIS SOO MUCH !! LIVE FOR IT!! Can you do a theory of that happened after Inuyasha and kagome married ? Does kagome become more powerful like kikiyo? Does kagome and and Inuyasha have kids ? Why couldn’t she travel back after the shard was whole for like 3 years?

I feel like it could be the several reasons tied up together option. Even in the InuYasha's era, majority of people hate/are scared of yookais. It seems like humans were the "ants" of the yookai world: way weaker than them, life span way shorter. But maybe humans correspondingly also reproduced way faster and worked together on societies, so they just naturally overran yookais? So, due to humans in general not wanting to connect with yookais and simultaneously having more offspring than them, just left no space for yookais in the ecosystem? No matter how many humans some yookais destroyed, they would always have more manpower. As a result, some breeds of yookais just went extinct due to not able to adjust as fast as humans who had shorter lifespan, some very few mixed with humans and the rest might just found another dimension that was more suitable for them?

I love your videos. I'm so sorry for you're loss. Deaths are really tough, but you and your wonderful family gave Rigby and Moxy the best lives. I'm hugging my pupper.

This is act pretty good points that can be possible. Also I'm sorry about your dog I lost two of my babies last year so I understand what your going through.

I don't think ever thought of that before. So, I think that both working together would be a very powerful situation.

They never left. Its just another frequency. Heck. Listen to all the stories of the banshee from dozens and dozens who've experienced them etc. An untouched culture that still holds on to their past which we all share a connection to!

I hate to say it, but, come on, the Tesiega is a sword of healing.

I wonder why Inuyasha couldn't use the adamant barrage in kagome's era

Sorry to hear about your dog, another thing I'd recommend is properly vaccinating your dogs since there are many diseases that are incredibly deadly to them. We lost an entire litter to leishmania virus last year. Now, to the video, first calling them demons is inaccurate as they're Youkai, the English dub simply westernized them in the most inaccurate way imaginable since Youkai are closer to being Fae creatures or nature spirits and they're not inherently evil or malevolent either. Rumiko Takahashi also took some liberties with Youkai, namely with Hanyou, which aren't a thing in folklore, and Inu Youkai, the closest to them are Onmyoji familiars called Inugami. As for theories on where they are, many Youkai are part of the Obake subtype, shapeshifter. This includes Kitsune, such as Shippo who is more accurately labeled as a Nogitsune, Tanuki such as Miroku's servant Tanuki, and naturally Nekomata and Bakeneko, like Kirara. Furthermore most Youkai seen in the present appear to be Tsukumogami, animated items, a category to which Tessaiga, Tenseiga, Hiraikotsu and Banryu belong. So my guess? HP style masquerade with the occasional Tsukumogami going bonkers.

I always figured the stronger and smarter demons blended in with humans. Because the demons are there in kagomes world/time. So I just think with technology and what not growing it became harder for demons and they realized survival and power now meant blending in with humans. So much so they became myth and legend.

Do you think you would ever do a video on Bettlejuice?

I FREAKING LOVE INUYASHA!!!! I just finished it and LOVE IT!! I'm so happy that u did this video!!!!!

I just found your channel. I love InuYasha! Thank you for the video. This is 6 months later, but my condolences for your dog. Thank you for sharing your story. I had no idea about water-hemlock. I've got a lot of friends with dogs and I'm going to share this with them. I look forward to exploring your channel.

Not expecting to cry about my pet from an Inuyasha vid... but you’re right and I will educate and hug my fur babies. Sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss =( I know it's not much consolation but great video

That's how my best friend lost her cat blue blue, he was gone before we could save him. My condolences,

Tenseiga for sure. not just b/c of it's abilities, but the story behind it. InuTaisho's reasons for giving it to Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru using it and exploring who he is more, was all really interesting to me.

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for the PSA

She’s a anime inuyasha teacher HAD TO SUBCRIBE :>

The tensaga IT BRINGS Back LIFE come on!!

First off, I am so sorry about Rigby! T.T That's terrible! I lost a dog years ago from an unknown toxin that killed him in the span of a few days. I went to college with him healthy and just made it back in time to put him down. He was only 5yrs old. Any death of a pet is traumatic and hard but its ten times worse when it is sudden and unexpected...You have my condolences...

i apologize if my comment is long i LOVE inuyasha and i dont come across some theory topics much on the anime ;w; i honestly wouldnt be surprised if most of the demons went to the underworld and live there overtime and the higher demons stay completely out of sight while still doing their usual hunts like the wolf demons mostly residing in the mountains away from villages and people. also watched till near the end and im so so sorry to hear of your loss. that is very scary that certain plants like that are around and you think its the non toxic ones but sadly they are and its pretty scary. i dont believe we have such plants at my house since we mostly have roses. i know im hearing stuff around about the blue algae stuff going around thats super deadly to dogs thats going around online so im keeping an ear out on it. it is always a good idea to do research of any specific plants anyone has at home in the front and backyard so the dogs wont get into them.plus its also a sad and scary thing when you would think your dog wouldnt get into those toxic plants but suddenly they did..and its always good to note that its best to find out which plants are toxic and quickly get rid of those plants just for the saftey of the dog. :( again im sorry to hear that this has happened to you and no one should go through something like that.. and i hope everything will be alright.. --------- also on my thoughts on which is the better sword. [this is where it gets long again im so sorry im just a big fan of inuyasha QvQ; ) a good question but there are downsides and such to it. [be warned this may have some tad spoilers since ive watched inuyasha and final act so many times ive lost count and going through the knowledge i know from watching the series so many times]: Tetseiga - has alot of different wielding abilities that is good to use especially knowing which is better use to go against the enemy due to their power. like how the windscar may be affective in most battles but we see not every single enemy is gonna be easily taken down by one ability. thats why InuYasha was trained to learn other techniques to tetseiga to better the strength of his sword and also himself. yeah it be pretty bad to have it be led in the wrong hands and the techniques can be a bit difficult, but as said in the 3erd movie of Inuyasha "the three swords of the honorable ruler" was said tetsiga is the guardian of man who can slay a hundred enemies in one fell swoop. it was made for mostly combat. Tenseiga - the sword of healing. never was made for combat and fighting. was made to save a hundred dead souls. while this is a good thing to have if you wish to save a life like maybe a village that was plagued and your fellow teammates who died. theres some uses to it. Tenseiga can be used as a weapon against the souls of not of this world. like was shown i think more then once in the whole series even "the final act". it can be a weapon against those who arnt part of the living. which can be useful but also- not so much if you want to have a sword in combat. the biggest flaw for Tenseiga is as was said by Sesshomarus mother "Tenseiga can only bring someone back from the dead Once". so if you think you got a sword of healing that can bring someone back from the dead many times, sadly that isnt the case. While i know Tenseiga is a good sword to have to bring someone back from the dead, you also gotta consider the major flaws in the sword and you understand why sesshomaru rarely uses the sword much in the whole series. It can only be used as a weapon, again, against the dead and those who arnt from the living, like the creatures from the underworld and so on. can only bring someone back once and ONLY once. so if you arnt into combat and rather have something of healing maybe that be a sword for those who rather have that - and its best to maybe have this sword and also a sword of combat just so your able to defend yourself against enemies. Tetseiga is probably a better sword because it has many techniques and inuyasha has to learn all of the techniques and what it can do and so if he understands and reads certain enemies powers and their abilities he would understand which technique would be better against such foes and use them. you also have to understand some flaws of the techniques as well in order to use them which gives inuyasha options on what to do against an enemy so he can take them down. jebus its hard to say which is probably a better suited sword like in general like which is the more top tier. but i feel its you have to look at the pros and cons of the swords in order to narrow down which is probably the best. i feel tetseiga in my opinion is better when you live in a world where demons reside even the powerful demons too. Tetseiga is more of a healing sword and its better to have a second sword in hand in case for defense. [which honestly i can understand why sesshomaru is so salty about having the healing sword due to its cons of using it but also..hes not much of someone to care for healing until much later in the series tbh.]

I’m sorry to hear about your loss

Tetsaiga. Not exactly my style but the various powers it has is definitely neat. As far as tensaiga goes, I don't believe any mortal should be playing god

I'm so sorry about your corgi 😭 My corgi Ein just turned 9 and I can't even IMAGINE, going to keep an eye on what he eats in the yard now

I was trying to get my cat to settle down, and he finally laid down for cuddles when you started talking about your dogs. I'm so sorry for your loss

*sends love and affection* ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so sorry about Rigby! But thank you so so so so SO much for this PSA! ❤️❤️❤️

Good job, Megan! Btw, I’m sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry about your dog. It's never easy loosing a member of the family so suddenly.

i think what happened to all the demon are, the lesser demon (those attracted and joined as Naraku) are all died in the final arc along with naraku, but those demon whose are wise or kind or even sealed, are still exist and just stay hidden from human sight and just become myth for human, the demon i said was like the ear demon where naraku ask for information of the last jewel shard, or demon of poison who help restore hiraikotsu

im rlly sorry for your loss :(

I literally just woke up and thought about this...

I know it’s been a while but what if people with the demon genes started families and if they have more demon genes then I’d guess there would be a return of half demons and what not

I just want to say I am so so sorry. My dog of 11 years was just killed on Monday, I totally get how you feel.
