Alright, it is Wednesday and I am gonna post the fourteenth volume of Inuyasha. Feel free to react or comment on any panel, though I appreciate if image replies are not used during the dump. Feel free to discuss anything Inuyasha related after the dump.

Previous thread: >>272873792

Despite the OP image, I am using the VizBig 3-in-1 localization which does not feature this cover exactly. Be aware that some of the larger images have been edited to be lower quality due to image size limits.
>>
Here's the inner illustration for Volume 13 in the 3-in-1. A young girl.
>>
We last left off with Inuyasha sensing "the scar of the wind".

July 14th, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: Do you have any models of your characters?
A: Nope."
>>
>>273103361
I guess "wind's scar" would've also worked, but it would sound the same as "wind scar" so that would be a problem.
>>
>>273103385
Sessh seen in a partial transformation.
>>
>>273103411
Got ourselves a double.
>>
>>273103429
I've stated how much I love Totosai's cow, right? Well, it definitely deserves praise here.

I think it got a name in the anime, but I don't think it did in the manga. The Inuyasha TCG called it "Totosai's Flying Three-Eyed Cow" which is amusingly direct. Anyway, the name the anime gives it is 猛々 which means "fierce". In Romanji, it would be "Mou-Mou", I guess (two sources say that but I couldn't get any non-Inuyasha site to confirm). As in Moo-Moo.
>>
Wonder what Inuyasha’s head would look like without that hair covering where a human’s ears should be.
>>
>>273103618
Big slices. You'd think slicing at a specific spot in between different airflows would result in one clean cut rather than splitting up like this.
>>
>>273103693
Oh yeah, venom in his face.

>>273103622
Probably not great.
>>
>>273103824
Family is a difficult thing.
>>
>>273103848
He is the winner.
>>
>>273103865
Smallest Kirara. Also, we see that hammer in action.
>>
>>273103886
Bit of the usual cliche.
>>
>>273103912
Miroku ascribes it to mysticism.
>>
>>273103944
Some people in this thread found it pretty funny that Inuyasha ends up looking more doglike than Sessh usually. Story notices it too.
>>
>>273103964
Kagome's eyes doing work again. But Totosai noticed it too.
>>
>>273103986
Not in the best shape.
>>
>>273104006
The girl from the earlier illustration.
>>
>>273104023
End of chapter! A compassionate child.
>>
July 21st, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: If you had a baby boy tomorrow, what would you name him?
A: I would come up with a name with all my might."
>>
>>273104039
Sango appeared in less panels and spoke less lines than Shippou in this chapter. Just a curious observation.
>>
>>273104117
Not in this form, at least.

>>273104124
Cast got big, yeah.
>>
>>273104226
Back to business.
>>
>>273104235
Another dead village.
>>
>>273104267
Aw, the animals shivering in fear. Poor babies.
>>
>>273104283
Somewhat familiar scene.
>>
>>273104331
Water, fish and mushrooms.
>>
>>273104370
It is a brutal place.
>>
>>273104398
She made it.
>>
>>273104370
What does he eat?
>>
>>273104425
Oh, the villagers said her name. I can now mention any trivia behind it. This is all Furinkan has to say about it:

"りん Rin's name is not written with kanji but with hiragana. This makes extracting a deeper meaning from it difficult."

>>273104488
Good question, honestly.
>>
>>273104508
Sigh...
>>
>>273104488
Yokai Juice
>>
>>273104528
So many.
>>
>>273104553
Hm?
>>
>>273104576
A yokai fight. Here's the trivia regarding Koga's name (mentioned on the last page).

"鋼牙 Koga means "steel fang"."

Pretty straightforward.
>>
>>273104606
We hardly knew ye.
>>
>>273104656
More slaughter in front of the child.
>>
>>273104669
You can find speed you didn't know you had when running for your life.
>>
>>273104690
End of chapter. Of course, it is still a pack of wolves.
>>
>>273104656
Well that is a way you can overlook it.
>>
Original title is 少女の命 which is "The Young Girl's Life", more or less. Translating Shoujo to Maiden is a bit odd, but I guess it works.

July 28th, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: What issue would you talk about if you were invited to speak at a summit?
A: The hole in the ozone layer."
>>
>>273104763
Quite a scene.
>>
>>273104820
>>
>>273104838
Clouded eyes. An effective touch.
>>
>>273104856
Intact, for the most part.
>>
>>273104880
>>
>>273104899
>>
>>273104917
We saw a creature like this back in chapter 116. These are "gaki" (餓鬼), often translated as 'hungry ghost'.
>>
>>273104958
I'll repost the trivia regarding gaki that I posted before. This time without the spoiler tag, since it is obvious now.

"Kikyo points out that the creature that appears on the dying man is a "gaki" (餓鬼), often translated as a "hungry ghost". In the lore of Inuyasha Rumiko Takahashi primarily uses them a creatures that claim souls and take them to the underworld In actual Buddhist conception these are creatures that the particularly sinful or wicked have been reincarnated as. Hunger gnaws at them constantly and they eat the earwax, dead skin cells and other foul things shed by the bodies of others. Though she uses their traditional appearance for the basis of these creatures (and for Jaken as well as she states in this interview between herself and Takashi Shiina) she never alludes to their stated "hungry ghost" characteristics."
>>
>>273105037
Welcome back.
>>
>>273105050
Sesshomaru's knowledge of the tenseiga grows.
>>
>>273105088
More wolves eating people.
>>
>>273105098
So many wolves.
>>
>>273105138
Not a fair fight.
>>
>>273105158
Well, we had a lot of people gore, so here's some wolf gore.
>>
>>273105180
>>
>>273105190
Quite an entrance.
>>
>>273105212
End of chapter! That's a lot of shards.
>>
August 4th, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: Where would you build a cottage?
A: Next to my house."

Why? Why would you do that?
>>
>>273105283
Face off.
>>
>>273105232
So which kind of yokai wolf did he bang?
>>
>>273105300
Furinkan has a note here: "Koga's epitath for Inuyasha is "inukkoro" (犬っころ). This means "mutt"."

Well, that's what Furinkan says. 犬っころ through DeepL and Google says "pup", "puppy", "whelp". It does seem to have the same connotation as mutt though.
>>
>>273105371
Big hops.

>>273105309
Well, given that Inuyasha said these were mortal wolves rather than yokai wolves, it is presumably metaphorical. But hey, who knows?
>>
>>273105410
Introductions were in order.
>>
>>273105466
Rumic long legs on full display here.
>>
>>273104488
Rin
>>
>>273105479
You think they itch in there? Or like heat up?
>>
>>273105500
A bit of a back and forth.
>>
>>273105525
>>
>>273105565
>>
>>273105212
Can't spell entrance without ntr
>>
>>273105591
Not need to hold back.
>>
>>273105605
Getting better at it. Didn't need to be blind for this one.
>>
>>273105620
Hm?
>>
>>273105635
No need to die here.
>>
>>273105661
A sharp mind? A sharp nose?
>>
>>273105697
Hanging out with your wolf friends on a cliff.
>>
>>273105720
End of chapter! Need to be careful about who knows about Kagome's sight.
>>
Original title is 生け捕り. It basically means the same thing as seen here, but both DeepL and google specifically said it means "caught alive", which presumably is why VIZ's old translation called this chapter "hostage".

August 18th, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: What items do you need when you go swimming?
A: A snorkel."
>>
>>273105765
Shippo cute.
>>
>>273105778
Miroku not running alongside this time. Also, whoops. Backfired.
>>
>>273105810
Could be ordinary wolves, I guess but probably not. I imagine his nose is good enough for that.
>>
>>273105829
Honestly, I don't hate Koga's design or his wolves, but I definitely like Royakan and his wolves more visually.
>>
>>273105866
Average pack size of wolves in 6-7, apparently. At least according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Yellowstone says about 12. Anyway, they can get up to 30. This is obviously more. This isn't a critique, I just figured I'd say something about it.
>>
>>273105924
Thought bubbles. He's not that direct.
>>
>>273105934
Here he comes. No tornado this time.
>>
>>273105965
No! He needs that for sensing shards!
>>
>>273105977
Oh, Miroku hopped off to fight wolves.
>>
>>273106030
When it rains, it pours.
>>
>>273106030
I just started wondering how many times Inuyasha and Kagome scream each other’s names one right after the other.
>>
>>273106084
Furinkan has a note stating that "[this creature] is likely based upon the creature from Daijiro Morohoshi's 1978 manga "Adam's Rib" (アダムの肋骨/Adamu no abarahone). Takahashi is a longtime fan of Morohoshi's work and drew Moroshi's monster on the obi of a collection of his work."

I'll post the cover of Adam's Rib after the dump and that illustration (though the image I have of it is really tiny, unfortunately).
>>
>>273106179
I enjoy the screentone on the panel of Kagome looking. I'm just imagining like a filter being applied over everything she sees.
>>
>>273106207
Uh, that last line is a little weird. Maybe he meant on both hands and legs? Maybe it is an existing expression? Whatever.

Also, I feel like "rush them" doesn't mean "rush away from them". I'm blaming VIZ here.
>>
>>273106253
That's a big waterfall.
>>
>>273106273
Home sweet home.
>>
>>273106287
In case you were wondering.
>>
>>273106323
End of chapter! Furinkan has a note about the name of these creatures:

"The Birds of Paradise (極楽鳥/gokurakucho) appear in this chapter. In the English adaptation of the manga they are sometimes called "Harpies" however "birds of paradise" is an accurate translation from the Japanese."

It is a type of bird.
>>
Originally this chapter had four pages of full color. Not so much in the volume.

August 25th, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: What name would you like to have if you were not Japanese?
A: Rumiko Takahashi (written in English)."

The parenthetical statement being Furinkan's addition, of course.
>>
>>273106417
I remember it like it was only yesterday.
>>
>>273106427
Kirara ate those bird.
>>
>>273106497
Be brave.
>>
>>273106514
>>
>>273106532
Hog tartare.
>>
>>273106565
Not wrong.
>>
>>273106579
Wolves don't court.
>>
>>273106606
Whoops.
>>
>>273104425
Weirdly cute Rin on bottom page
>>
>>273106632
Not yet steady.
>>
>>273106675
What a charmer.
>>
>>273106707
He really is being brave.
>>
>>273104899
I know it's cliche, but I'm a huge sucker for sappy stuff like this
>>
>>273106750
He did a good job too. Also, I love Shippo's magic and the goofy faces.

>>273106753
Agreed. I love it too.
>>
>>273103259
Feels like it's been ages.
>>
>>273106795
>>
>>273106829
A big assault.

>>273106817
Right? You wouldn't think a week would feel that long, but it really did. Which makes how long I've been doing this seem a bit crazier.
>>
>>273106879
>>
>>273105180
Imagine getting killed and intimidated by fucking Hiraikotsu.
>>
>>273106894
They got a lot of teeth to knock out.
>>
>>273105977
So this is NTR...well Inuyasha still has Kikyo i guess.
>>
>>273106917
End of chapter! I wonder how they determined who was the big brother.
>>
Mentioned it already, but yes, this title was 極楽鳥, (Gokurakucho), ie. Birds of Paradise.

September 1st, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: If you went to heaven one day, who would you like to meet?
A: Sou Sou (155 - 220 AD)"

I was not able to find out who that is by googling the English speaking internet.
>>
>>273107015
Yeah, flying creatures honestly are tactically difficult to fight unless you have something to answer their flight. Most of the time in manga, if a character can fly, the only reason he doesn't just stay 50 feet in the air and attack from there is some misguided sense of honor.
>>
>>273107062
Day in the life.
>>
>>273107075
Uh oh.
>>
>>273107108
>>
>>273107127
>>
>>273107162
You think the left one controls the left wing and eye and the right one controls the right wing and eye? That would make it so hard to fly.
>>
>>273107187
Hard part is taken care of.
>>
>>273107203
>>
>>273103848
This is kind of forced. As far as we know, they have no filial bond. The fight over the sword is probably the first time they've ever interacted. I think Myouga is the only reason Inuyasha even knew about him.
>>
>>273107228
The two in the last panel have names, but until the names are mentioned in the manga, I don't feel the need to post their names' meaning.
>>
>>273104039
Uuoh-maru
>>
>>273104488
He used to live off smugness, now he subsists entirely on angst from daddy issues.
>>
>>273107329
Off he goes.

>>273107283
I understand how you feel and perhaps it is a bit at odds with what we've seen before, but Inuyasha did at least recognize Sesshomaru when he encountered him in the series. Admittedly the conversation went "Is that you Sesshomaru?" and "Ah, you remember me. I am flattered".

I do think Rumiko has that traditional idea of the importance of family bonds, even if they've obviously been antagonistic to an extreme up until this point. But they are yokai and not human, so who knows?
>>
>>273107517
Furinkan has two notes:

"[The wolf demon] refers to Kagome as "big sister" (姐さん/nee-san) which surprises her given how familiar the term is and they have only just met."

"[The other wolf demon] uses the term "wakagashira" (若頭) to refer to their relationship to Koga. This is a term used for a the high-ranking underlings in a criminal organization such as the yakuza."

Bit of nuance lost.
>>
>>273105098
>>273105088
That little girl he saved will be Inuyasha's doom!
>>
>>273107610
I like the detail of the fight in the background with the chains.
>>
>>273107631
Bit easier to hit when the arrow turns into a giant mystic blast.
>>
>>273107655
Incoming.

>>273107626
Mwahahaha. Wheels are turning.
>>
>>273107681
>>
>>273107695
Loud hug.
>>
>>273107723
End of chapter! Glowering time.
>>
>>273105371
>>273105466
Royakan forgotten
>>
September 8th, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: How did you feel when you got your first letter from a reader?
A: I was very happy."
>>
>>273105525
When? Between the name calling?
>>
>>273107857
>>
>>273104006
Mad.
>>
>>273107874
Something about those speed lines made me think sun coming through the clouds, which is of course, not accurate.
>>
>>273105778
I can't help but think he's venting after Sesshoumaru always calling him a runt.
>>
>>273107942
Tail-sniffers? I don't know if this is a VIZ thing or what.
>>
>>273107956
Whoo, they're here.
>>
>>273104838
Nice top panel.
>>
>>273108005
Lot of bodies.
>>
>>273108040
Hands healed. May as well use it. I guess this counts towards the successful use of the wind tunnel. I might after this tally how often it is thwarted and how often it actually does the thing.
>>
>>273108104
I thought the mouth was crackling with power, but it might just be drool.
>>
>>273104899
Wtf the great Lord Sesshomaru slain by a smile???
>>
>>273108155
That's the sound jumping really high makes.
>>
>>273108301
Goodbye, Koga's weapon I didn't see him use before this fight. I think it is a sasumata.

He also has a sword, by the way.
>>
>>273108393
>>
>>273108436
Furinkan mentions this is the elder brother. I don't know how Furinkan can be sure, but maybe it was more obvious in the anime. I also don't know what it means to the elder brother in this scenario.
>>
>>273108476
My first thought was this was due to substantial loss in motion function, but it may just be tactics.
>>
>>273108574
>>
>>273108589
Striking eyes.
>>
>>273108628
Sango and Miroku, come on.
>>
>>273108640
Don't get a big head.
>>
>>273108656
End of chapter! Fight for her.
>>
September 15th, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: What is your favorite rice dish?
A: Rice porridge with green tea and salmon from Kajima, Niigata."
>>
>>273108688
This counts as protecting a mortal, right? I feel like we haven't had a transformation that just blatantly wasn't that yet.
>>
>>273108701
How direct.
>>
>>273105212
>>273105232
He's here. Koga a shit and could never match up to Ryoga as a rival character. Sesshomaru is the only rival Inuyasha needs.
>>
>>273108715
Kagome is 15 and has never had a relationship with a boy before.
>>
>>273108748
Three anger marks.
>>
>>273108791
>>
>>273108804
>>
>>273108827
Other matters at hand.
>>
>>273108846
Apparently the anime changed this so both brothers were still alive when this attack happened. I guess they thought it was too gruesome to depict a pair of conjoined twins with one of them decapitated.
>>
>>273108869
Left a good bit behind.
>>
>>273106084
AAIIIIEE
>>
>>273108888
>>
>>273109005
I guess he can fly just fine even without the other brother.
>>
>>273105810
Best seat in the house

>>273105924
With all the carrion from the ongoing wars to feast on and over all better climate, probably on the higher end.

>>273106030
They did the thing. Kagome kidnapped, Mirokus, most affected.

>>273106514
No Miroku they're clearly fish.

>>273107631
She got stockholm pretty fast.

>>273108104
A rare W for Miroku!

>>273108436
RipnTear

>>273108574
Look at the big fluffy poofball. Was is all just revenge for those poor frightened chickens earlier?
>>
>>273109022
>>
>>273108656
Koga deserves some praise for being so honest among this cadre of shy teenagers.

>>273108748
>>273108791
And all the tween girls were caught hook, line, and sinker.
>>
>>273109037
Time to walk the walk.

>>273109032
True, that would make for more wolves for sure.
>>
>>273109091
Kaze no Kizu.
>>
>>273109117
Bwaa.
>>
>>273109134
>>
>>273109148
End of chapter! Not quite a hug, really. Also, I love the little tear in his friend's eye.
>>
Original title is 逃がした理由 which seems to mean the exact same thing, but is a bit more ambiguous about who let who go.

September 22nd, 1999. Author's note:
"Q: If you were a henshin hero, what would you use for your special move?
A: The ability to fly through the sky."
>>
>>273109219
A lot of people watching too.
>>
>>273109235
Dummy. No instincts telling him to run off now.
>>
>>273109252
Been a bit since we've seen this.
>>
>>273109272
It is nice to see some perspective.
>>
>>273109283
I mean, both Kagome and us know that Koga feeds his wolves humans. I do think it is safe to say that Kagome (and also us, as the audience) to not apply the same moral standards to demons (yokai) that we apply to humans.
>>
>>273109315
OP he called her cute. That outweighs at least a dozen innocent villages being razed. Plus less competition from girls like Rin. Kagome is truly cunning.
>>
>>273109315
ARE not to apply the same moral standards. Sort of mangled that sentence.

Anyway, notice that Inuyasha only describes the kidnapping rather than the other moral quandaries. Some people say that Rumiko was hoping you'd forget about him murdering Rin's village, but honestly, Koga stopped being an outright villain pretty much from the get go. It has been less than a volume.

She has a manga extra where she discusses Koga in particular, I'll be posting it in a few threads. I'll also save the brief twitter discussion about him until later too.
>>
>>273108656
Inuyashabros...
>>
>>273109386
Hah, the emphasis on busy there made me laugh.
>>
>>273109413
Pretty in sync here.
>>
>>273109448
Hm. No sound effect on that little wind line. I wonder why. Maybe to make it really silent.
>>
>>273109481
Hm.
>>
>>273108656
>>273108715
>>273108748
>>273109169
proof that girls like assholes, even if they eat hoomans
>>
>>273109503
One of them is being honest.
>>
>>273109523
Felt the need to shut her up before asking too.
>>
>>273109543
Whoops. Wrong question to ask after all that. She really did try.
>>
>>273109558
Sigh...
>>
>>273109573
I was completely distracted, I didn't even notice the amazing "zoned" panel on the last page.
>>
>>273109585
Buyo in my sights.
>>
>>273109604
End of chapter, end of volume. Yup, we're ending on a fight. Ah, dummies.

Feel free to use the thread to discuss anything Inuyasha related. I have some stuff I'll be using to bump the thread here and there.

I will be returning Saturday (back to our usual schedule) to dump Volume 15. See you guys there. Thanks for reading.

I never got this part, they treat the "return well" as if it's always nearby, but if they're constantly traveling further and further away in search for the shards it shouldn't be possible for Kagome to just hop on Kirara and return just like that.

Well, Kirara is really fast and can fly. They also may be travelling in a spiral shape. And also, they kind of are back at square one due to the last thing with Kikyo and shards are moving around Japan.

Let me post the manga extra from the wideban before I forget. I believe this is the wideban extras for volumes 13-14. This is about Sesshomaru. As usual, I'll post it in two parts and spoiler what I consider to be "spoilers.

"The Real Demon Needed for the Story

I knew from a relatively early stage that Sesshomaru was a character I wanted in the story. Inuyasha is, of course, a half-demon, and I needed a full demon older brother to compare him against to show the reader what a real demon was at its essential level. I had the basic idea to create an older brother character early on, but I only started thinking about things like his personality, speech mannerisms, and design once I was already working on my manuscripts.

The Large Changes in His Design

When I first started working on the storyboards, Sesshomaru looked completely different than how he looks now. His hairstyle and clothing were completely different. He looked kind of Arabian and not Japanese at all. And he was half-naked! Looking at that initial design, I knew it absolutely would not work. He wasn’t wearing nearly enough clothes and looked awful, the exact opposite of the cool older brother I needed him to be. So while I was inking the images, I started adding things to the design. Once I got the idea for a mid-length furisode kimono, I knew that was his look. So yes, I didn’t have a handle on his design until working on the manuscripts. I mean really, in the beginning, he was wearing less clothing than Koga!

The model for the mark on his forehead came from Hatamoto Taikutsu Otoko. I thought it would be something I could use in the story later on, but unfortunately, the opportunity never arose. Oh, and by the way, the fluffy thing on his shoulder? It’s fur. Dog fur. I don’t think I ever had a chance to make that clear."

I'll post the image of the character with the mark from Hatamoto Taikutsu Otoko in a bit.

Here's the other half of that manga extra.

"Rules for the Ultimate Demon

I wanted him to interact with a human character, and that’s where Rin came from. I wanted to create an opportunity to soften his heart. He probably just wanted to test out Tenseiga when he rescued her, but as their interactions continued, I think readers realized he actually wasn’t such a bad guy. He was the kind of character that didn’t just get stronger as things went on, but also bettered himself.

While I was working with Sesshomaru, I set some rules for myself about his character. He could never break out in a cold sweat. He could never lose his cool. He could never stumble over his words. He could never act like he cared if he lost a battle. As a result, he turned out to be the coolest character I’ve ever created."

Oh and here's the twitter bit about Tenseiga:

"Tenseiga (April 29, 2022)

Rumiko Takahashi: Sesshomaru is wearing a sword when he first appears, but at that point it had not been decided what kind of sword it was. I didn't know when to have him pull it out, even in the aftermath of the fight with Inuyasha, so I came up with the idea of Tenseiga later.

I wanted it to be the opposite of Tessaiga and the opposite of Sesshomaru, a sword that saves people. It is the type of sword that follows you even if you throw it away."
>>
>>273109856
yeah, he wanted to kill him because of his mongol courtship traditions. and kagome protected him because it made her wet. still fully justified

The bigger sin is that Koga barely has any narrative importance. You can take him out of the story and not much changes.

Here Koga realizes how outmatched he is by Inuyasha. Does he become stronger to close the gap and become a worthy rival? No. In fact, the gap only widens.

Akane's slow for the Ranmaverse but she probably has the speed to dodge Kagome's arrows and Kagome's spiritual powers wouldn't work on a non-corrupted human. I think Akane wins.
