I have two notes from Furinkan regarding this page:

"Inuyasha's father [is referred to] as the "Dog General" (犬の大将/Inu no Taisho). "Toga" (闘牙) was a name that was potentially considered for the character and was included in a trailer for the third film and the film's soundtrack. The soundtrack reference was removed before it was released."

And

"Myoga calls [the being] a "death's head" which is an accurate translation of the Japanese (髑髏/sharikoube). Death's head's are often signs of danger, warnings to stay away. They are also commonly known by their German name, Totenkopf."

Apparently, the more common word for skull is 頭蓋骨 in Japanese. These other terms presumably correspond with the use of a skull in imagery (such as a pirate flag or toxicity symbol).

Allow me to crossthreadpost this time

You're retarded. A chapter has a set amount of pages (20 or so) in those panel you can fit many panels as your tetris skill allows it and a panel will carry info within. If you use 2 panels per page you'll have at best 40 panels with info assuming these panel have text instead of action drawnings otherwise the info is severely limited as if it wasn't already. IY having many nothing burger chapter comes from abuse of pages with 3 panels tops. And then you had all the meme name calling panels being padding, then the action panels taking up even more space that is already limited. On top of IY being about several thing unlike Bleach that also had lots of nothing burger chapters and that was mainly about action taking up page count like mad with little to none real advance. As for IY the page count could be---- nigger, ffs spreads take 2 pages and almost never have any info, just an art flexing. How the fuck you're ignorig that?!

At least Bleach was constructed to be read in volumes from volume 25 or so, IY is an adventure with action sprinkled

It is chill. I don't mind a reaction image if it clearly isn't from the manga. I've never actually read Bleach. It never seemed to be my thing. I will say that I think most chapters being sort of low impact comes less from too many big panels and more due to how many chapters just are devoted to ultimately small things.

I still like Inuyasha despite all this.

I obviously do enjoy some battle shonen, but the stuff people who like Bleach focus on makes Bleach seem like something that wouldn't click for me. They talk a lot about it being 'cool' and 'stylish', which is kind of whatever.

I read Inuyasha mainly for the same reasons I read other Rumic stuff, so comedy and uh, emotional moments. Drama feels a bit too strong of a word.

Furinkan notes that: "By this point in the English adaptation from Viz attempts are being made to use the anime translations (also by Viz) in the manga. We see the Kaze no Kizu referred to as the "Wind Scar" and Naraku's insects as "Saimyosho". For whatever reason Sango's "Hiraikotsu" is still translated as "Boomerang Bone" however."

We definitely saw "Scar of the Wind" last chapter, so this note may be more applicable to the previous edition. I will say, it seems that it swaps around whenever they change translators. So, it can vary volume to volume.

You think these things can just breed normally?

Wonder if Jaken dying would've swayed Sessh to give up some tactical ground. Also, I guess it is reasonable by now that Kagome would just save Jaken out of the goodness of her heart.

Original title is 金剛槍破 which is a proper noun. Sort of. Furinkan says "The kanji used is "diamond" "spear" and "tear"." Machine translation struggled with this one, giving 'Striking someone with a diamond spear' and 'Varja Spear Break' (varja apparently using the same kanji as diamond for some reason?).

Dead demons (maybe people too given all the bones we see, but I'm not sure) turn into these skeleton remnant things in this boundary between life and death. Pretty sure we don't get any more details than that. At least, pretty sure we haven't yet. I don't think we know what makes some of them animate and some inanimate. Or what happens from then on out. We saw a bit of this when Hakudoshi did his head experiment.

Hosenki died of natural causes, so any weirdness would be due to taking the shard, but I don't think any of it is really caused by it. All the diamond stuff is just how he is.

Furinkan notes that: "The name of this chapter is "Kongosoha," the name of the new attack Inuyasha gains. It is translated by Viz as "Diamond Spears" which is accurate. The kanji used is "diamond" "spear" and "tear". The anime will ultimately dub this attack "Adamant Barrage" in translation, though the manga wisely chose to romanize the Japanese instead of provide a translation."

I guess 'attack' is accurate enough, but it seems to be a state ala red tessaiga. Obviously, the newer edition just didn't translate it even for the chapter title. Some of the machine translation I got regarding '金剛' did give me 'varja (mythical substance)' and the Japanese wikipedia for varja does talk about it being made of 'diamond or an incredibly hard metal' so maybe adamant isn't completely insane, but Diamond Spears is much more straightforward.

In case English's use of loan words makes the idea of Sesshomaru using French seem odd to you, the Japanese term used here was "とどを刺" which apparently just means "finishing blow".

This seems like a good time to mention Furinkan's other note from this volume regarding Sessh:
"Sesshomaru has a very unique way of speaking about himself. He often refers to himself as "This Sesshomaru" (この殺生丸/kono Sesshomaru). This is not conveyed in the English translation, but it comes off as very self-centered."

I mentioned this before, but yeah.

Actually, that "was it strong enough...?" is just a stupid translation. They should've gone with "was that enough?" or something. The Japanese line seemed to be more "Did he do it?" which also would've been fine.

You don't say "was it strong enough?" when it turns someone into chunks.

Original title is 帰還 which appears to just mean 'return' but may have the connotation of 'homecoming' or something.

I like when Naraku is just drawn as chunks for some reason. It isn't even gore. It is almost abstract.

Well, they want Inuyasha's new thing to have actually affected his plans a bit. If Naraku's escape from the underworld plan was always be destroyed with the shard and be regrown with it in his possession, that would raise some questions.

That first panel probably is going to remind you guys of some other panel from another battle shonen. Also, I guess he would've had to regrow from the other baby? Naraku is sort of lich-like in a way.

Also, the moon is in that sort of confusing state where it is rounded like a waxing crescent but is full like a waning gibbous. But given that it is more full than the half-moon we saw last time, I guess that was a first quarter rather than a third quarter after all.

The original title is 厨子鼠. This was not localized in this edition. It can be translated as 'The Shrine Rat'. Though, specifically, 厨子 is a specific type of container. Here's Furinkan's description of it: "This type of shrine, called a "zushi" is a double doored box used to store Buddhist sutras. They are not always for religious items however, wealthy people used them for storing scrolls and books and so the term "zushi" does not exclusively mean "shrine"."

Furinkan had a typo I had to fix here. The only reason I mention when they have a typo is not because I want to shame them, but because at some point, I want to collect them and email them. So I mention it so I can search for them later.

And yeah, whoops, that last page was the end of chapter.

Furinkan has two notes regarding this page:
""Feed a dog for days and it'll be loyal for three years." - This is an actual Japanese idiom. Shippo actually says, "犬は三日飼ったら恩は忘れんとか言うが" (Feed a dog for three days and he'll never forget to be grateful to his owner).

The Viz translation has Inuyasha reply "I'm not a dog." In the original he actually says "Who's owner?" (誰が飼われた。)"

Since they rewrote the idiom to be a bit less wordy, they had to change the reply. You can decide if you feel that changes it too much.

Those top two panels are very funny just because of Kagome's expression. But yes, Inuyasha definitely does not deserve this.

I do think that the whole 'You're so understanding' bit last page was a deliberate setup for this subversion, but I know some people take it at face value and assume Rumiko actually intends for her to be flawless. I disagree.

Original title is 魔寄せ. My machine translations went with 'enchantment' and 'charm' respectively, but maybe breaking down the individual kanji gets you something like this. I tried, but when I tried to split it up, all I got was 'magic send height'.

This explains how this can be a known problem without the world becoming a giant ball of rats by now.

>>275277904
Yeah, especially since it doesn't seem like a proper noun, but you can't really win with these sorts of things. I definitely prefer erring in this direction rather than having Kodoku end up being Poison Imp or whatever.

>>275276933
Man, if only Naraku communicated better with Naraku, Naraku wouldn't have been caught by surprise like this. He really needs to work on his intrapersonal skills.

Oh, someone asked about Miroku using shields. Here ya go.

>>275277945
I double checked and he does not fly during the first fight, but the entire fight takes place inside his dad's ribcage, so it would be a bit cramped. Plus, I don't really think of Sessh as the sort of guy who would do the logical, but ultimately dishonorable strategy of just flying out of reach and pelting his opponent with ranged attacks.

Fun to see his baby face from early on.

I assume the scroll (mifuda?) is used to keep the shield in place, not necessarily necessary to bring the shield up.

Oh, here they get names. Their Japanese names are 胡蝶 & 飛鳥 and apparently 胡蝶 means 'butterfly' and 飛鳥 means 'flying bird'. This is from Furinkan, but I double checked.

Furinkan also has two notes about this page:
"Kikyo requests a branch from an ogatama tree (Michelia compressa). The tree is a type of magnolia. ...
When Kikyo makes the ogatama tree grow she draws a five-pointed star on the ground. This pentagram is used in the Japanese art of onmyodo."

meanings of "gathering, collecting, coming together" and "last moves, endgame"
it could also come from the verb 寄せる where one of the meanings includes "to close (in battle), to make an onslaught"
魔 broadly encompasses the demonic/malicious/magical
it's actually a little annoying how broad it is lmao
i guess the implication that this is *the* finishing chess move to bring kikyo out of hiding by gathering this hoard of rats to devour everything

Given how often it seems to be used, it probably is something super obvious if you read manga in Japanese a lot.

Looking at the thejadednetwork sound effects thing, the most likely candidate is ガ so, ガガガ or 'ga ga ga', which just signifies an impact. I can sort of get wdwdwd, but wok wok wok doesn't seem right.

I think I was confused because ガ looked like it had a little circle next to it on my screen.

>>275279091
Was that volume 12? I remember him being shocked for sure, I don't remember if he was actually sweating though.

>>275278925
i think it might be because of 専用?
seems that means "exclusive use", "used only/specifically for"
so grasses that have the exclusive use (of creating the poisonous smoke that stops multiplying demon rats)? i figure the word "special" would cover that, or maybe bold the word "special" instead? but then i guess 専用 modifies the word (medicinal) grass rather than grass modifying it? hmm...

>>275278925
also i got ahead of myself
kikyo was the one creating a tree to gather the rats rather than naraku doing the gathering
but yes 魔 (ma) in this case was for demons
i am still annoyed how that kanji is broadly used in words encompassing innocent magical things like enchantments, generic magic (MAhou), witches (MAjo), to demons/devils (MAjin/akuMA), to straight up satan (MAou!)
