Inuyasha – The Final Act; Goodbye Forever, Kagura
Episode Rating: 9.2/10.0
Goodbye, Kagura :(
I felt sad watching InuYasha: The Final Act episodes one and two. I didn’t know there was even a continuation of InuYasha until I looked at Random Curiosity’s blog 1. First episode was kinda iffy and really didn’t bring any catharsis to me, but the second did. The first episode, I guess, was just something to show what was happening in the contemporary world while the second was more of a… return to the past of destruction and demons. I think the latter is always better.
The second episode was a catharsis to me. Not like the orgasm kind of catharsis but instead of purging of emotions kind of catharsis. Someone who wanted their freedom all their (short) life, and when they get they get screwed over. I just thought that was really messed up of Naraku. He could have gave Kagura her heart back and allowed her to live for at LEAST a day. But at the same time, I felt relieved as she was able to escape the damnation of life — the cruelty which envelopes all human.
The funny thing was that I didn’t remember much of anything in the past InuYasha episodes. Mainly, I don’t remember if Kagura had some sort of relationship with Sesshomaru or not. I mean, she did die saying that she was glad to see him again, so that counts as something, right?

Kagura and Sesshoumaru did have a little something going on, but it wasn’t anything major. Not much more than what you saw in this episode.
But yes, Kagura’s death was very tragic. The anime version rushed it a bit more than the manga but it was sad either way. Just when she started to become a more likable character too…
@Yumeka: Thanks for elucidating that to me. I didn’t really read the Manga so I don’t know what happened :(
I guess once they turn black (unholy) there aint no coming back (i.e. can’t go good else they die).
rushed it a little more? how about ALOT more.
This whole series is going to be depressing. When I was watching I immediately felt like they were rushing the show.
When the first series ended they had covered 355 chapters of the manga. 167 episodes… which means they covered about two chapters (2.21 chapters to be more accurate) each episode.
In these first two episodes, they have covered about 3 VOLUMES. they covered from 356 to 382… thats 26 chapters… in two episodes.. Mind you that I did include that chapters they skipped completely.
in any case.. thats a speed up of 10x… thats just ridiculous…
Not only that, but they change the story line. omit stories, change how battles happen, and they definitely completely omitted a battle.
Moryomaru absorbs meioujuu(tutle shell guy) in chapter 403 after inuyasha battles him..
