Whaaaaaaaaaaa? Yins can't be serious. The Band of Seven is just an excuse to further elongate an already too long anime! Yet again, it's the 'Oh, hey, there's some bad guys, let's go defeat 'em!' You can cover it up with twists and past and history and whatever bull that you can come up with, but straight down to it, it's just another way to make Inu Yasha longer than it should be.

Personally, I find it annoying that nothing is being solved. Shippo is still useless, the problem with Kohaku is still unsolved, Sesshomaru is still hot, and Kagome and Inu Yasha STILL haven't freakin' admitted their feelings or whatnot.

I mean, yay for slowness and character development, but with Inu Yasha, it gets OLD. At least to me. The only reason why the Band of Seven arc exists is 'cause Ryo's voice from Ronin Warriors is being used. I'm glad to see him back in an Anime again.

Man. Someone's got an ax to grind. :?

Too long? There's a lot going on here, and relationships develop over long periods of time. Especially when the people involved are as stuborn and tempramental as Inuyasha and Kagome.

Personally, I find the Band of Seven arch an interesting twist. Imagine using a holy barrier to hide a demon! I mean, think about it, that's really sneaky!

I agree with you Brigid. I found this arc to be the best out of all of them :roll: it was a nice break from the hunt for Naraku and shikon jewels.

And yet was also part of the hunt for Naraku. Now that's clever writing. :)

Depending on the fact that we have never seen a single one
be handled with snow or water you do have to say that they do have simularities.In the movie you see a reasonable amount of InuTaisho in his dog mode.Image1.InuTaisho.Now if YOU had a better shot then you know what Im talking about because I got this from a IYMV.Okay, if you look at his tail it's all curly(unlike Sesshomaru's),and i'll go ahead and say it the hair/fur is white!(now that's proof right there!)

2.Sesshomaru.I really shouldn't have to explain this one now should I?Again with the curly tail,and fur.Well, you can figure it out.

Yes, Inuyasha's ears are pointy like an akita's. But what's with Sesshomaru's ears being all long and floppy?

His tail is lacking some curliness, too. Makes me wonder what kind of demon his mom was. :?

They mean Sesshomaru's mother. Sess's demon character design is based off of a type of dog found in Japan with long ears and tail; side note, though, that Sess is MUCH bigger than the real dogs are, muscle-proportions wise.

Inu-Yasha is a Shiba-Inu. They're more common in Japan, and generally have as bad a demeanor as he (plus, they're white). They also have a tail that curls straight up and almost into a circle.

So is it possible Sesshomaru's mom was this other kind of dog, making him kinda half and half, too? Do you know what the name of this kind of dog is?

Oh, and I heard Inuyasha and his dad are akitas, related to shibas but larger.

OOOOH his mother... gotcha :wink: haha

I have noticed that Inuyasha is white and Sesshomaru is grey-ish, I never really put anymore thought into it than he was a full demon and they just wanted them to look different. Except maybe that white is a "pure" color (aura/chakra/chi-wise), since Inuyasha is the "good" brother and is kind at heart he would be whiter than Sesshy who may have a clouded chi because of his malicious heart. I never knew that they were based on real dogs, thats pretty cool actually.

Actually InuYasha's is grey-ish,Sesshomaru's is bulesilver-ish,but I think your right about that 'chi' thing.And you should remember that this is Rumiko Takahashi! so you know that there's got to be a twist in things.example:If you pay attension enough you'll see that people's name actually fits their occupationon to the show see-Inuyasha:(Female)Dog Demon,Sesshomaru:Killing Perfection,Totosai:Sword purification,Onigumo:Spider Demon.And then she does put alittle Japan history,tradions,present day life,real people that lived that long ago,etc.

Well... Shiba Inu aren't always white...
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b241/ ... ibaInu.jpg
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b241/ ... icture.jpg
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b241/ ... baInu2.jpg

and the tail is quite the same in Shibas and Akitas... more generally we can say that these dogs are similar and they both can have some variations in color and in physical appearance...
I mean that both can be white (but not always).. both can have a turning-into-circle tail and accorting to Inu Yasha lovely ears, they could be from both these two breeds!
Here's a Akita: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b241/ ... itaInu.jpg

And also for the demeanor, each breed has got its preconception, but dogs aren't all the same... for example Pit Bull is said to be "ferocious", whereas these dogs can be very affectionate!

So... it's difficult to decide which one of these two breeds Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are... we'd better ask Rumiko Takahashi... :roll:
Anyway.. it's nice to think of Inuyasha as a growling lovely dog ^.^

Puppy-boy! ^_^ Inuyasha is so cute with those ears.

I think Akitas and Shibas are related, aren't they? I think they're both in the spitz family of dog breeds.

I wonder if Inuyasha could ever transform into a dog. Wouldn't that be cute!

Fuzzy! :lol:
