In the second episode of Inuyasha, “Seekers of the Sacred Jewel,” the story picks up right where it left off, deepening the bond between Kagome and Inuyasha while introducing the overarching quest for the shattered Shikon Jewel.
After Kagome inadvertently shatters the Shikon Jewel into countless shards, the quest to retrieve these shards begins. The episode reveals just how powerful and dangerous the jewel fragments are, as even a small piece can drastically amplify a demon’s abilities. This sets the tone for the perilous journey ahead, where both Kagome and Inuyasha must track down each shard before they fall into the wrong hands.
Inuyasha, still bitter and distrustful, initially sees Kagome as little more than a tool to find the shards. However, as they face off against Yura of the Hair, a deadly demoness obsessed with collecting human hair, they begin to realize the necessity of their partnership. Kagome’s courage and resourcefulness shine through, proving that she is much more than Kikyo’s reincarnation—she’s a vital part of this mission.
This episode effectively introduces the central conflict and stakes of the series. The search for the Shikon Jewel shards becomes the driving force behind the narrative, with Kagome and Inuyasha at the heart of this dangerous adventure.
My Thoughts:
So Kagome or the reincarnation of Kagome with the jewel inside of her body realizes that she wields the power to control the unstoppable Inuyasha.
Of course she takes advantage of this by making Inuyasha sit like a dog and shows him who really is in control. This is getting good…
Finally in this episode we get the aerial archery while flying that I was super excited about 🙂
