I’ve been to Inuyashaworld.com, and have come across their list of unanswerable questions. Being a trouble-causing
loser (but more importantly and obsessed fan with WAY too much time to kill) I’m going to search the web far and wide,
and FIND THE ANSWERS!!!
I think I’ve got most of these right. They make sense to me anyway, so either they’re right or
I’m a good BSer.
How much blood can Inuyasha lose before he dies?
All right, this one was tough. We’re going to assume that Inuyasha has the same amount of blood as a
regular human. (This is pretty fair, just because there is nowhere, inside a body, to PUT much extra) So, to start off with,
he has about 6 quarts of blood.
You would think that this would be the maximum amount of blood he could lose and live, but we have to take
into account the regenerative properties that he has as a hanyou. (In layman’s terms, he heals fast)
Why doesn't Kagome say no to Kouga?
To keep Inuyasha on his toes. Even if he would never admit
it in a million years, Inuyasha does like her, and if he thinks she may ditch him for Kouga...
How many fukus does Kagome have?
... wtf's a fuku?
How many years does the series take?
It’s ongoing, and also depends on whether
you count just the time since Kagome came or back 50 years or even before that. Also whether you count the time between Kagome
falling into the well and (back 500 years) her fallign back out.
How much cat food does Kirara eat?
Probably not much, because bags of cat
food are few and far between in the feudal era. Personally, I bet she hunts.
What is Kiraras connection with the Miko?
Miko? Probably none. Miko is preistess
or temple Maiden. That would be Kikyo or maybe Kagome. Kirara sticks with Sango, because she was given to Sango as a kitten,
and they grew up together.
Answer form Kia- What is Kiraras connection with the Miko? I don't think they're talking about Kikyo
or Kagome. Mostly Midoriko cause in that episode at the end when Kagome is thinking of her with that lil scene of Midoriko
Kirara appears next to Midoriko.
How can Miroku ride a bike on his first try?
Here's the real question: How does he
keep those pants of his from getting caught in the spokes?
Can Inuyasha read?
Judging by his mother’s clothing, he appears to be
from a high class family, so I would guess so. There was also a point about the spell scrolls but I forgot what it was.
Kagome, at least would know if he could read, and judging from what I know of here, I think that if he didn’t
know she would be trying to teach him.
How old is Inuyasha?
200 years. Some people say that he’s 65, their reasoning was that he was 15, but then was pinned to
the tree for 50 years and didn’t age. This works until you factor in his older brother Sesshoumaru, who is about physically
about 5 years older than Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru wasn’t pinned to anything for 50 years, and he sure as hell isn’t
70 years old.
Will Miroku ever find someone to bear his child?
Yes.
Will Kikyo ever melt?
Why would she melt?
Answer from Kia- People ask this cause she's clay and dirt, and clay
melts if been in the sun too long.
I never knew that... better get my mom's good china off the porch then, huh?
Who is Sess's mother?
We don’t know, no one ever paid much attention to her. She was definitely a demon though. I think for
all practical purposes we can assume that she is dead.
Will Hojo ever get a clue?
Probably not, Kagome's too nice to turn him down.
How does Inuyasha get the blood stains out of his clothes? The hair of the fire rat cleans
itself, and also regenerates itself. As for the white shirt, I guess he finds a new one.
Do those clothes magically mend themselves?
Yes. Except, if Inuyasha is in his human form they’re temporarily de-magicked and become normal clothes.
Will Myouga ever explode if he drinks too much blood?
Unless he has a portal to the fifth dimension inside his body for emergencies, yes. However, I very much doubt
that he will ever do that. People, too, will ‘explode’ if they eat/drink too much. It’s pretty hard to do,
though, and very rarely done by accident.
Why does Sess dress like a girl?
He doesn’t dress like a girl. His clothes are just more detailed/higher quality because he likes wearing
nice stuff. (Because he’s full of himself)
If Sess wants to kill Jaken why does Jaken still stay with Sess?
Look at that little midget. He’s almost completely helpless. If it weren’t for that staff he’d
be dead in a day. Sess protects him, to an extent, and in return Jaken acts as his lapdog. I also think Sess might feel something
at least for the little guy, because, if you notice, for all the threats and beatings, Jaken is not, in fact, dead.
Is the (guy who made Tetsugia's) cow a demon?
Totosai? Probably not.
Answer from Kia- They're talking about Totosai's cow, not Totosai. So very likely it's got a freakin' eyeball
on it's forehead @_@
If Naraku is more demon then human why is he still considered to be a hanyou? According
to Wikipedia, (My favorite online source) a hanyou is defined as the product of a union between a youkai and a human. Hanyou
also translates roughly to half-blood or half-demon. However it would be a pain on the ass to call someone a three-quarters
blood or five-eighths demon, so I think hanyou works as a catch-all for mixes between human and youkai.
Where did Ranma come up with the tea kettles of hot water all of the time?
Wrong series.
Was Inu-Yasha asleep or dead when he was pinned to the tree by Kikyou's arrow? Neither.
This is a logic question. He seems to think he was dead, (the blood of the woman who killed me) but he obviously wasn’t,
seeing as his body didn’t rot, and he came back to life.
I don’t think he was asleep either, for 2 reasons. When you’re asleep your body continues to work,
so if he didn’t eat/drink/move for 50 years, he would still be dead, or at least have all of his muscles atrophied into
oblivion. Also, that arrow was through him for the whole 50 years, even if he did manage to stay alive, the flesh around the
arrow would have healed mostly the same way the skin on an ear does when you put an earring through it. So, seeing as he doesn’t
have a hole straight through his body (that would be cool) I don’t think he was asleep, either.
The only option left is that he was in a state of suspended animation. (I’m attributing this, again,
to magic.) This would have allowed him to be, in a word ‘frozen.’ He didn’t age and I guess his mind went
on a little vacation.
And on that, did he breathe during the 50 years?
Quite possibly. Possibly not. I’m likening suspended animation to cryogenics, in which case, no, he
didn’t. I also think maybe if he was breathing Kagome would have noticed the first time she saw him and wondered if
she should help him. (She got, after all, pretty close)
How often does Kagome really go home?
I would guess whenever they venture close enough to the well for her to pop over for a while. Seeing as they
travel all over the place, often not knowing thier destination until they are already heading there, it’s not as if
she can plan to visit, say, every Wednesday. I think she just goes when she has the chance.
What color is Inu-Yasha's kimono?
Red, mostly. Maybe a touch of orange. His shirt is white, but I think you knew that.
Answer from Kia-
I suppose they ask that cause in the manga in some images it's purpleish.
Also on that, what does Kagome use to get out the blood stains? (Must be something really strong)
She just washes them quickly, I guess. Personally, I’ll swear by hydrogen peroxide, but I doubt that’s
common in the feudal era.
How old is Inu-Yasha really?
200. He looks 15.
How old is Sesshoumaru?
Too old for you, missy.
Is Sesshoumaru gay, or does he just like dressing like a girl?
He’s not gay. (And don’t let the fan girls hear you ask that, you won’t survive them) And
we’ve been through the ‘girl clothes’ thing before. Actually, scratch that first thing. He might be gay.
I wouldn’t know.
What is Kirara? (a demon, cat, etc?)
She's a firecat. She's affected by the purificaiton
barreir, so she must be a demon.
What is Kikyou up to, really?
She's hanging
out waiting for Naraku to get teh whole jewel so she can escort the two of them to hell.
Can Kikyou be killed (again), and if so, why doesn't someone do it?
I think so. She's
just clay. And I think no one does it because there's really no need.
Where did Kikyou find her Shini-dama-chuu?
...huh?
If Inu-Yasha's father had Tetsusaiga to protect his mother, then how come it was made for Inu-Yasha
to have?
It wasn’t made for Inuyasha, it was made for his father, which was why it was in his father’s
tomb.
Also, if it was made for Inu-Yasha, how come it was hidden in his eye (where he would have probably never
found it), and Inu-Yasha couldn't pull it out?
I don’t know why he couldn’t pull it out, but it has something to do with the fact that Tetsusaiga
was made to protect a human female. So it only transforms to protect human females, yeah yeah yeah.
I think his father hid the tomb in Inuyasha’s eye so that he could rest in peace and not have his tomb
discovered. If he hid it underground it might get ransacked or found by grave robbers, or people might make off with stuff.
He hid it in Inu’s eye to prevent it from getting robbed… oh, wait, that didn’t work, did it?
How did his father get his grave into Inu-Yasha's eye if Inu-Yasha never met him? (also the fact that
he would have to have been dead at the time)
I think if he knew where he wanted his tomb to be, he could have told somebody who could take care of it.
Also, he died when Inuyasha was just a little kid, so he wouldn’t remember having it put there, even if he knew at the
time.
What can the Shikon jewel really do?
For some strange magic reason, it makes demons bigger and more powerful. (Normally more monstrous, too.)
One I have been wanting to know, where do you find a boomerang like Sango's?
Feudal Japan, duh. (Now getting there, that’s the real problem.)
Will Miroku ever find someone to bear his child (that he will take seriously)?
Well, Sango has to be there for SOME reason…
Where's Kagome's father?
Hanging out with Patricia Membrane in Forgotten Parent Land.
How the %$#@ does
Kagome keep up with her homework when she's off fighting evil all of the time? (I wish she'd tell me her secret)
Me
too.
Who or what was Sesshoumaru's mother?Why do you INSIST on asking
the same questions over and over???
Were Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru together any as children?
Probably not. Although the stories/fanart of them quarreling as children is very funny and cute, it is not
likely. Sesshoumaru was already 150 years old, which translates, I think, to about 14 years old. He was probably off on his
own, with his mother being dead. (She had to have been dead, I can’t see Inu-Papa having an affair) Most likely he would
not want to hang out around his father, his human step-mother and his half-brother, seeing as he hates the latter two and
is probably pissed at the former for loving them.
Where does Sesshoumaru buy his makeup?
It’s not make up. It’s some kind of skin pigmentation like the purple stripes on Inu’s face
when he’s demon, or the purple stripes on their dad’s face, or… Well, I won’t list them all, but it’s
not makeup.
Where did Sesshoumaru find Jaken?
In the middle of a battlefeild where he killed a large creature that was about to kill Jaken. He didn't do
this to save Jaken, he did it becasue the creature was in his way.
How much time has passed since Kagome first fell down the well (I don't think you can count it by the
number of times he's turned human, though)?
I think you can, because inevitably when he turns human something shows up to harass them, and he can’t
fight it, and the whole thing is rather dramatic. You can’t just leave that out of the story.
Why can't Miroku just cut his hand off if worse comes to worse?
I guess he could do that. If he was gonna get sucked in or whatever. But you have to take into account the
magic-ness of it, and magic plays by it’s own rules.
You could also ask why Inuyasha doesn’t take off the Rosary when he is human, but I think the answer
is just that it would be pointless.
Why are some demons evil and others aren't?
Same reason some people are evil and some aren’t. I’m not going to get into the nature vs. Nurture
argument, but you can’t take one species and just say these guys are evil.
How come only Kagome and Inu-Yasha can go through the well?
Has anyone else tried?
Answer from Kia- Shippo tried remember? in the episodes 20 something when he was
going down the well escaping from the forest guardian.
Oh yeah, now that you mention it... huh. I dunno then.
Does Kagome's time travel affect the time line?
It is impossible to change the past
because there is no such thing as a time line. I’m trying to make a good metaphor here. Time works in spirals, which
is really hard to describe, but anyway, it is impossible to change the past because it has already happened.
If you went back in time to prevent yourself from doing something, your past self would not do it, and his
future self (you) would have no reason to go back and stop him.
The past self, having not been stopped, will go ahead and do whatever he was going to anyway, and whatever
you were trying to prevent will occur anyway.
If Sesshoumaru can attach any type of arm he wants, how come he can't grow one back?
That’s like saying if we can put a prosthetic arm on a patient, why can’t he just grow one back.
Regeneration is not he same thing as substitution. What I want to know is why can’t go get his OWN arm and out it back.
Answer
from Kia- Your answer to that, he can't get his arm back either way from Inu's eye. It got dragged down to the pits of hell
in the 3rd movie.
Pits of hell huh? Yeah that would probably be hard to get back.
How come when Inu-Yasha is injured as a human, he (almost) instantly heals when he becomes youkai again,
and when he's injured as a youkai, he doesn't?
There’s a lot of physical (magical, too maybe) change going through his body in that maybe one minute
time, I would guess that his body just goes nuts and says , hey, while I’m changing hair color, growing dog ears, and
increasing strength by about 500%, I might as well take care of this poison/cut/whatever as well, just so I don’t die.
Was Inu-Yasha close to his mother?
In one of the first episodes his mother makes an appearance, and they were very close, so the answer to that
is yes. (Note: yes, I know it wasn’t his real mom , but he didn’t.)
How
come the weather is always perfect? (I can't think of one time of bad weather)
There are several cases of bad
weather, however they are few and far between. There are also tsunamies, otherwise the villagers would not keep big rocks
on their roofs. However, the reason we never see bad weather is becasue everybody takes cover in the rain. Everybody has about
three feet of hair which takes the better part of two hours to dry without towels, and so there is a mutual agreement to stay
in during bad weather.
Where does everything Miroku sucks up go?
Very far away, to a dimension of darkness.
On that, does it go into his body (the wasps were able to poison him)?
I think the wasps
were the result of some sort of spell. Judjing by thier ability to change form, and that they obey Naraku, I do not think
they are normal bees.
Is it really necessary to yell out the name of the attack you are using? (ie Inu-Yasha says "Sankon
Tetsusou!" when he uses that attack)
I think this is maybe just dramatic showmanship, intended for people who
do not watch the show much. I mean, all of us fans know the difference between the yellow claw-swipe and the red claw-swipe,
but someone who hasn’t seen the show might get confused.
How is Inu-Yasha able to sleep in those weird positions?
Have you ever watched a dog sleep? I have. My dog’s like a contortionist. The only thing that can sleep
in weirder positions than my dog is my little brother.
Maybe it’s for the same reason he can sit in all those weird positions, like with the soles of his feet
pressed together. I’m no gymnast, but I could maybe do that for one minute, no way just leisurely sit like that.
How many women has Miroku slept with?
Probably a lot.
What do you call that pink baloon-thingy that Shippou transforms into?
Cute but Pointless.
How come the characters never attack all at once?
They’re afraid of hitting each other. I mean, can you imagine what would happen if Sango got in the
way of Tetsusaiga? Not Good.
How much blood does Inu-Yasha have to lose before he'll bleed to death (he has like, a never ending supply)?
I think we’ve been over this.
Why does Kagome always wear mini-skirts?
This, too.
Why does her family let her go to fight demons (I sure as hell wouldn't let my 15 year old daughter go
back in time to do that)?
… Can they really stop her? Maybe they realise that there is something very important going on.
How was Sesshoumaru able to transform the Tetsusaiga when he absolutely HATES mortals?
I think it was that arm.
Why is it that Kikyo has lingering feelings for
Inu Yasha when supposedly all that's left of her soul is hatred?
The first time she met him, she kissed him and
tried to drag him to hell. The second time she held a knife to his throat a nd told him he was a fool. You say there's
somehthng there, I think you're wrong.
Where did Inu Yasha find the Tetsuaiga's scabbard?
… hey, that’s a good question… Maybe in the tomb somewhere?
Although Kouga's a full demon, how come we never see him in his original form???
Well, this one is more of a matter of convenience. Being human is very easy. We have opposable thumbs. And
while in battle turning into a huge wolf/ dog/ centipede might make you look very intimidating, it also makes you slower than
the smaller enemy. It is also not a guaranteed win, I mean, look what happened to Sesshoumaru when HE turned into a giant
dog. (No pearl, no sword, no dead brother, no arm, damn, that did NOT go according to plan!)
On
the subject of Sesshomaru hating mortals, how come he saved Rin?
Curiosity and perhaps a bit of gratitude.
What is that gunky, feathery stuff at the hilt of the Tetsuaiga? (You know, at the end of the
um, handle and the start of the blade.) It’s some kinda fur. It just looks gunky because if they had to animate
furry-looking fur it would blow the budget for the whole series.
What happens to Shippou's clothes when he transforms?
They dissappear.
If Inu-yasha is only half a demon how the hell does he beat the crap out of
all the other FULL demons?
The other demons are so busy jumping around yelling 'you will never defeat me pathetic hanyou'
and scoffing that they forget to dodge the kaze no kizu.
Why the albino baboon get-up?
You're in a city after midnight. It's kinda dark. A
guy walks around the corner in normal street clothes. You're totally fine.
You're in a city after midnight. It's
kinda dark. A figure wrapped completely in white fur turns the corner. Anything at all could be under that fur. Bit scarier,
isn't it?
Why don't they just throw Kikyo in water she is only dirt?
She's not dirt. She's
more like pottery.
Why doesn't Kagome bring extra clothes (and soap)?
I think she does sometimes, she’s
usually either got some super-stuffed bag, or nothing at all. What you’ve got to remember is that they walk a lot, and
it’s a pain in the ass to be carrying around a ton of stuff you don’t really need.
When Sango is wearing her normal clothes, where does she keep her sword?
On the inside
of her skirt.
