Alright, it is Saturday and I am gonna post the thirty-seventh 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: >>275646767

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.

In addition, I will be dumping the one short story from the Rumic World and Rumic Theatre series that came out around this time. Today, the scans I have of the one shot are fanscans. Today, that will be "Dutiful Vacation".
>>
Starting us off with the cover of the 3-in-1 Volume. Image resized for posting.
>>
Here's the inner illustration for Volume 37 in the 3-in-1. The suffering boy.

Original title was 飛頭根 which this was romanized from. It is a proper noun, it seems. 飛頭 appears to mean "fly head" (as in flying head) in Chinese, but not Japanese. 根 means root in both. 飛頭 is apparently used to refer to the Chilean and Argentinian mythological creature known as the "chonchon", but that may be a coincidence.

April 28th, 2004. Author's note:
"Q: If you could create a new holiday, what would it be?
A: Hanshin Championship Day."

>>275747428
In case you're curious, the term translated as monster in the top panel is 化け物, bakemono. Just as a contrast to the term 妖怪, yokai which is used further down and as always, localized as demon.
>>
>>275747562
Hm.
>>
>>275747575
Pretty big. Poor woman.
>>
>>275747592
A direct hit...
>>
>>275747610
Looks like it splattered its eye. Also, hey, it is Kohaku! Saving the day. Maybe.
>>
>>275747636
Full body shot. And off goes its head.
>>
>>275747654
On the job.
>>
>>275747672
Let's see if the two halves can fly off like the head did last time.
>>
>>275747699
Doesn't seem like the halves can. Abandon ship. Also, this is pretty gross. Parasite stuff always makes me aware of my skin.
>>
>>275747719
>>
>>275747736
>>
>>275747771
Boy, would that have been embarrassing.
>>
>>275747794
Taichi's name is written as 太一 in Japanese. Online sources say it is a just a male given name and don't ascribe any meaning to it.
>>
>>275747880
I understand his hesitation.
>>
>>275747903
You probably figured that the chapter title refers to that thing. It seems VIZ translated Sango's line directly rather than add more explanation of the kanji in the name.
>>
>>275747962
Another moon phase that doesn't quite overlap with real ones. I assume it is a stylized waxing gibbous, so almost a full moon. If it is either a waxing gibbous or waxing crescent, it seems to indicate that a new moon isn't for a while. But the cover of the volume has new moon Inuyasha, so whatever.

Also, bit of a white lie for his cover.
>>
>>275748068
End of chapter. Sigh...
>>
Original title is 父の記憶. It is translated correctly, but I guess it could also be "Memories of Father".

This is a cute cover.

May 12th, 2004. Author's note:
"Q: If you could have one super power, what would it be?
A: To give all Hanshin batters home run ability."
>>
>>275748144
Shippo is back with Kagome rather than near Kirara's tail. Maybe it is based on what pace they're going at?
>>
>>275748180
That first panel hurts.
>>
>>275748207
Sigh... cute.
>>
>>275748229
...
>>
>>275748263
>>
>>275748283
Certainly doesn't seem to be acting his usual self.

>>275748473
I guess I should've expected to cry when I saw we were going to have some Kohaku stuff this volume.
>>
>>275748492
>>
>>275748515
The demon seems to manipulate the body in a pretty direct manner, hence why we get it being flung around rather than it having the boy run off.
>>
>>275748553
The timing is as expected.
>>
>>275747654
Feh.
>>
>>275748571
Not what it looks like...
>>
>>275748683
>>
>>275748703
Really puppeteering.
>>
>>275748781
>>
>>275748800
I mean, it certainly worked with the wild dog, but you don't really want it to go like that here.
>>

End of chapter. Oops?

Original title is "隠した想い". Original VIZ edition translated it as "Secrets" probably because "Hidden Feelings" has a bit of an association in English. Furinkan suggested "Hidden Thoughts".

Also, Furinkan relates us the following regarding this issue:
"This issue of Shonen Sunday has a tribute to manga artist Mitsuteru Yokoyama (横山光輝), who passed away from injuries sustained in a house fire on April 15, 2004. Rumiko Takahashi commented: "I am shocked. I was just now reading Sangokushi (三国志) which is being re-published. When I was a child, I used to watch the Tetsujin 28 (鉄人28号) anime, and Yokoyama-sensei's manga were all around me, of course. He was always at the forefront of his work, and I knew that he would continue to draw masterpieces in the future. Thank you very much for all your wonderful works. Thank you very much for your hard work. I sincerely pray for his soul rest in peace.""

Very sad. He was only 69. You've almost certainly heard of his works, as Tesujin 28 is what was released in the states as Gigantor and Sally the Witch is one of the first magical girl series. Sangokushi is an manga adaptation of a novelist's retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, by the way.

May 19th, 2004. Author's note:
"Q: If you could reset one thing in your life, what would it be?
A: The final game between Hanshin and Giants in 1973."
>>
>>275749055
Certainly makes things a lot harder.
>>
>>275749072
Dilemma.
>>
>>275749105
Got ourselves some sort of powder for this?
>>
>>275749136
Not the gentlest way to grab him, but the physics of all this is such that it wouldn't be a pleasant stop regardless.
>>
>>275749156
Miroku can keep pace with Inuyasha, but I guess he's not used to holding another person while he does it like Inuyasha does. And a fully grown man is obviously going to weigh more than Kagome.
>>
>>275749194
>>
>>275749219
Quick to find a host.
>>
>>275749242
!
>>
>>275749254
...
>>
>>275749271
I think this is about as convincing as he could've made it.
>>
>>275749298
I mean, maybe throwing his weapon to injure would've made it more believable but who knows how that would've gone? He also obviously doesn't want to hurt his sister more than he has to.
>>
>>275749342
>>
>>275749357
Convinced, it seems.
>>
>>275749386
The seven hells thing is as usual a bit of VIZ flourish. In Japanese, he says: "いったいどこにあるんだ". Using いったい is essentially like saying "what the hell?" or "what on earth?", apparently.

Don't speak Japanese, reminder. Take all this with a grain of salt.
>>
>>275749534
Back to this.
>>
>>275749552
Naraku didn't really answer this earlier. Unsurprisingly.
>>
>>275749575
End of chapter...?!
>>
Original title is "脱牢". It seems to specifically mean "jailbreak" so I wonder why they didn't go with that.

May 26th, 2004. Author's note:
"Q: If you were to run for election, what pledge would you make?
A: I am against the one-league system of professional baseball."
>>
>>275749629
Hm...
>>
>>275749644
>>
>>275749687
Naraku did say she mustn't let him escape out loud.

I think the issue here is that "guarding" something ambiguously can refer to either watching to control it (like guarding prisoners) or watching to protect (like guarding a vault). While in Japanese, the term used was "守っている" which I think really does only mean "protecting". But I can't be sure.

Anyway, that's the revelation in the bottom panel as far as I can tell.
>>
>>275749857
>>
>>275749878
What a lovely set of options.
>>
>>275749890
It is done.
>>
>>275749908
>>
>>275749924
I wonder how many of these transitional panels there are in Inuyasha. Probably a lot.
>>
>>275750058
Odd.
>>
>>275750081
Yeah, I don't think the pictured moon phases line up much with the story's moon phases. Anyway, I love the bubble bumping Inuyasha. I always love that.
>>
>>275750081
There he is.
>>
>>275747562
I don't really see how Miroku is so sure of that. No different than the blood drinking birds.
>>
>>275750133
Bandits came to them. No need to chase. Unless these are different bandits, I guess.
>>
>>275749629
You sure it's not 脱獄? I guess 脱牢 could be it too but I usually hear the former.
>>
>>275748068
Of course he says nothing. Not even a warning.
>>
>>275750225
Yeah, I'd say that is pretty unusual.
>>
>>275750256
Anytime a group of humans looks like this you know they're about to get murked.
>>
>>275750256
I mean, don't take that much offense, Inuyasha.

>>275750233
Well, I got that off of Furinkan. Let me check the Japanese edition. Yup, it is pretty clearly 脱牢. Maybe it is deliberately more archaic or exotic or something.

>>275750251
Well, the saimyosho could be watching.
>>
>>275750405
>Maybe it is deliberately more archaic or exotic or something.
Yeah, that seems to be what google says.
>>
>>275750405
Nonlethal strike. I mean, presumably. It didn't slice his head off. It did make a loud sound though so.
>>
>>275750449
Not an entirely separate laser style attack.
>>
>>275750472
End of chapter! What is going on?
>>
Apparently, there was just the one color image for this chapter.

June 2nd, 2004. Author's note:
"Q: What music do you have on in the background while you work?
A: J-pop."

Skipped the art spacer.

>>275750365
Yeah, bandits definitely have a look to them in this series and it never seems to bode well for them.

Unstoppable.
>>
>>275750601

Worth a shot, right?
>>
>>275750713
You got this, Shippo.
>>
>>275750731
>>
>>275750751
A bit confusing, isn't it?
>>
>>275750767
He just sucked up the demons in the urns (the odd laser demons) and not the bandits themselves.
>>
>>275750803
>>
>>275750834
Good job, Shippo. Also, not really much of an answer.
>>
>>275750881
Hm.
>>
>>275750920
Wasn't passed out long.
>>
>>275750932

>>275751033
End of chapter! Him?!
>>
>>275751033
It's very frustrating watching how easily the most important items in the setting and designated series macguffins get so easily snatched from our heroes every time. Like I guess it shows the villains are actually competent but at the same time it's like fuck why even bother collecting them?
>>
Original title is 変貌. This seems to translate closer to "transfiguration" or "transformation". It seems to have another definition specifically of transforming your appearance as well.

June 9th, 2004. Author's note:
"Q: If you were to compete in the Olympics, which event would you choose?
A: I decline."

It is happening.

Gotta enjoy the journey with Inuyasha. Just one of those things.
>>
>>275751140
Would you look at that.
>>
>>275751140
I dunno why I'm so sensitive to Inuyasha's particular brand of bullshit today. Usually I'm much more tolerant. Maybe it's because I have a stomachache.
>>
>>275751156
Remember him?
>>
>>275751194
>>275751156
What a plot twist! Goryomaru was secretly Moryomaru!? Who could possibly have guessed that, especially given how different their names are!?
>>
>>275751194
So, this is my first reread and I'll admit that I don't always remember everything. I did not remember this plotline well enough to know what was happening with Goryomaru and Moryomaru on this read through.

But Goryomaru was introduced right after Moryomaru was given a soul, so I had assumed it was him. But I dismissed it as the chapters went on because it didn't seem to line up, even though Moryomaru was gone for all that time for seemingly no reason.

I feel a bit silly now. The similarities in the way the arm was drawn to Moryomaru should've been enough for me.
>>
>>275751282
Too much chatting. Not enough getting the shard back.

>>275751267
魍魎丸 vs. 御霊丸 in Japanese. I mean, they do share "maru", but you know.
>>
>>275751334
?!
>>
Bump for reading
>>
>>275751334
I understand the kanji is different but they have hiragana too and that shit would be plain to see. Japan loves wordplay like that.
>>
>>275751355
I get that he's way bigger than them so the shot actually works, but it genuinely looks like she's just firing from point-blank.
>>
>>275751392
The usual prayer.

>>275751371
Fair enough. I wonder how many people were like me and dismissed it as being "too obvious".
>>
>>275751423
I laughed out loud when I first read it and I laughed at loud just now. Oh my god, perfect. Just immediately.
>>
>>275751451
Oh no. One got in. And Sango took a big hit. Everyone is dropping like flies.
>>
>>275751472
>>
>>275751423
>Fair enough. I wonder how many people were like me and dismissed it as being "too obvious".
It's one of those things like Tobi being Obito in Naruto that makes you go "No... it can't be that simple."
>>275751451
I also laughed. I think it's the sheer volume of vomited bees instantaneously appearing.
>>
>>275751517
Good job.
>>
>>275751531
The robe hopefully helped a bit.
>>
>>275751563
Time is not on our side today.
>>
>>275751620
?!
>>
>>275751639
And Jaken!
>>
>>275751647
End of chapter...

Original title is 消えた妖気. This is accurate with the usual yokai to demon thing. 妖気 is essentially "yokai energy" though most places seem to translate it to just "weird" or "unearthly".

Oh, he's a little green guy who follows Sesshomaru around, has a staff with two heads.
>>
>>275751743
I'm sure Sesshomaru isn't fond of getting summarized that way.
>>
>>275751815
>>
>>275751647
Here I am cheering for Sesshomaru's arrival. Alright Rumiko, you got me.
>>
>>275751831
So mean. I checked and the original insult appears to be "ひねたツラの妖怪" or "twisted face yokai".

Could that be it?

Why live?

>>275752337
Alright hey a clever use of Tessaiga, you go dog boy.
>>
>>275752359
For me, it's kagura fearing for her life while being throat fucked.
>>
>>275752337
>>
>>275752768

I don't think it went all the way through, but it definitely looks like it got in there.

You could have used a Buddhist idiom about the six realms too.

It's not like Naraku ever told Kohaku aiding humans was disobeying him. It wouldn't even strongly indicate that he was more conscious.

>>

>>
>>275753217
>>
>>275751194
They both just happen to have the same face, or Goryomaru took on Moryomaru's appearance when they merged? I feel like you'd mention that.
>>
>>275752844
This was like 2005, Americans didn't know shit about Buddhism, most still don't
>>
>>275751831
Is Moryomaru technically a demon? We've established he's made of human haku, demon bodies, absorbed a human, and has his own soul which is probably from a human since Kanna gave it to him. I feel like there's a contradiction that he ever gave off demonic energy.
>>
>>275750920
>>275751282
>>275751355
I'm still a bit confused. So Hakudoshi made the soulless Moryomaru and then the human monk Goryomaru fought Moryomaru and sealed it in his arm, but then it effectively possessed him? So the current Moryomaru is sort of a gestalt of the soulless demon and the corrupted monk?
>>
>>275753234
Straightforward.

>>275753247
I'll be honest, it might just be Rumiko same-face. Them both having bob-like haircuts is probably just a coincidence.
>>
>>275752337
>He's weak to being slashed with sharp things!
Except we've established he's made of playdough, and reforms no matter what.

Original title is 赤子の居場所. This was translated accurately, but I want to post the two humorous ways machines tried to translate it "Baby's Place" and "Where to Find a Baby".

So the nulling stone doesn't hide the aura of the shikon jewel?

Not good for the boy.

>>275753785
It sure doesn't. Detecting shikon stuff has been unique to Kagome.
>>
>>275753878
He's in the area, what are the chances? I assume he somehow planned that.
>>
>>275753767
Has it really been long enough since Moryomaru was initially introduced that he had time to possess a monk, establish the temple with the kids, and create multiple demon stockpiles?
>>
>>275753909
!
>>
>>275753931
How horrifying.

>>275753910
The timeline has always been a bit murky. I assume he must've done it at night or when Goryomaru was recharging or something.

Moryomaru was an interesting idea compared to making more offshoots, but I feel like everything about creating him has been counter-productive. If Naraku just left the baby with Kanna, Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru, and Kikyo would never find it. They had leave this giant breadcrumb trail of destroyed villages and dead demons in Hakudoshi's wake to make Moryomaru. Why did he need a soul anyway? Why is he even a separate entity from the baby?

So in Kingdom Heart terms, it's like a Nobody and a Heartless were working together to make an artificial Nobody, then they turned a monk into a Heartless that they used to fill the the artificial Nobody to make a real person, then they fused the Heartless into the weird artificial filled Nobody.
I'm like 80% sure Xehanort did this.

義理のバカンス or "Dutiful Vacation" or "A Dutiful Vacation" was published on March 5th, 2004 in Big Comic Original. As such, it was published a bit before the chapters in this volume. This title appears to be a pun, as 義理 means "duty" or "obligation" but 義理の specifically refers to "in-laws". It seems like a "mother in law" would be translated as "a mother by duty" if you translated the Japanese back literally.

This translation is a fanscan. Of course, as unofficial fanscans and translations, they have their own issues but at the least we don't have to worry about flipped art. And honestly, this one seemed to do everything right. This fanscan appears to have actually located the original publication, so we actually have the color pages. This story originally had four pages of color and four pages of red tint.

This isn't about a middle-aged man! It is about a middle-aged woman. I mean, maybe middle-aged. Depends on where your cutoff is.

Oh, Furinkan has two notes related to these last two pages.

"Onsen (温泉) are Japan's hot springs and the bathing facilities along with the inns that surround them. Onsen can be either outdoor or indoor and entire hot springs towns have been built to capitalize on the tourism that onsen generate.
Obon (お盆) or just Bon (盆) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist–Confucian custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. It has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon Odori."

You probably knew this though.

Another Furinkan note:

"Tokyo Station (東京駅) where Namiko and her mother-in-law meet is a real train station in the Chiyoda section of Tokyo. It has an extensive history not only as a transit hub but two Japanese Prime Minister's have been assassinated there as well. More than 500,000 people use the station every day."

Weird that Furinkan noted this but not the pun in the title. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though. I will say, when I looked it up, most machines translated it as "In-Laws Vacation".

Tsukudani is apparently either seafood, meat or seaweed that is simmered in onions sauce and mirin (a type of rice wine). It is like a side for rice, apparently.

End! Yup. They made it. I like this one but yeah, it is very realistic in that frustrating way. I really don't think the mom meant anything bad about any of this, these things just seem to happen with this sort of situation. Furinkan discusses something through a Japanese concept:

"Haragei (腹芸) is a key element throughout the story. Haragei is a Japanese concept of interpersonal communication. It refers to an exchange of thoughts and feelings that is implied in conversation, rather than explicitly stated. Haragei is characterised by euphemisms, vague and indirect statements, prolonged silences and careful avoidance of any comment that might cause offense."

Obviously, this story seems to show the pitfalls of that sort of thing though not to such an extent that it proposes an alternative. Westerners obviously have similar ideas (though likely not to the same extent), whether we call it tact or customs or whatever. Same with Giri, which means duty or obligation and also is a part of this story.

As mentioned before, I'll be back Wednesday with Volume 28 of Inuyasha.

It's not just a stereotype. Japanese culture really does seem to discourage directness to an extreme. There's a dark side to it too. Just yesterday I heard about a surgeon repeatedly committing malpractice in 2019, and no one in management or HR addressing it even after multiple patients were harmed back to back within the span of weeks.

Yeah Moroha really is an absolutely perfect blend of her parents design-wise, it makes sense since Rumiko said she had the design for an InuKag daughter in the back of her mind for years now, pretty much the entire fandom adores her design as well though I have heard some grumblings here and there about Moroha not having dog ears, pretty much all previous InuKag fanchildren gave them the ears, to which I say - she’s only a quarter demon, of fucking course she’ll inherit less dog demon traits than her father dummies! I actually think the ribbon serving as a substitute for the ears is a super cute and clever idea.

I personally like both Moroha and the fankids who have dog ears. Demon genetics are bullshit anyway.
>>
>>275751451
He can literally spit out bees. It's unfair. Miroku should consider catching people off guard with the wind tunnel so they don't have time to ready the saimyosho. Just sneak up behind them while they're distracted.
>>
>>275767433
>>275767466
Technicallly, a hanyou and a human could have another hanyou rather than a quarter demon, it’s incredibly rare but since you only inherit 50% from each parent and it’s random which DNA you get, a child of Inuyasha and Kagome could end up inheriting most of or even all of Inuyasha’s 50% demon genes while inheriting none of his human ones from Izayoi.

Moryomaru was the infant idea. Basically this is another coup attempt against Naraku by one (two) of his clones. The baby has no way to defend itself and it know it so it create Moryomaru as a weapon to rival Naraku that it could wield
>>
>>275769830
I will never understand why Naraku was just giving out wind tunnels to random people and have even their children inherit it. What purpose did that even serve?
>>
>>275769944
it'll consume you eventually and you can end up sucking up innocent people
>>
>>275769944
Naraku back then was very weak and could have been easily sealed away by holy men. And one particular monk made it his mission to do so after he investigated and came to know what happened to Inuyasha and Kikyo. Since a direct confrontation would lead to defeat, Naraku took the form of a woman, had sex with the monk and while his guard was down surreptitiously put the wind tunnel curse, probably because anything else would have caused him to become alert that Naraku, in fact, was not a woman in disguise.

The problem with the ribbon, with her whole look really is that it makes perfect sense if Moroha was raised by Inuyasha and Kagome.

Inuyasha didn't go through all this bullshit in his life just to be denied raising his daughter ; ;

for the record bros, the first episode of yashahime is actually an inuyasha episode
after the earthquake, a lot of mangaka took part in fundraisers and rumiko submitted a post-epilogue chapter of inuyasha for that
that's what the first episode of yashahime covers (and is the only ep I watched)

That much is clear. Apparently when Takahashi was approving restrictions on the writing staff she didn't imagine just how much of an axe-griding dark fanfic it would be. She said
>You can't kill any of the main characters
and the producer heard
>Nothing against trapping Inuyasha and Kagome in the borderland of the afterlife!

An Inuyasha sequel should have been more like Ranma in tone. More goofy episodic stories, but with the occasional adventure.

I think that Goryomaru thought he had sealed Moryomaru in his arm while in reality the demon took over his whole body but left Goryomaru's mind in control, at least until Hakudoshi killed it for good, leaving with Moryomaru in full control and now holding onto the monk's soul, which was the one thing he lacked.

I'd like to think in a few years Oda Nobunaga would have his meteoric rise and deal with the yokai infestation permanently with facts and logic (burning them all with Portuguese guns and Christian spells regardless of if they are benign or malevolent). That, or usually things aren't as bad as it is shown in Inuyasha and its actually the deteriorating law and order situation causing the demons to act up after being passively affected by human malice and violence.

Thanks OP for the dump. InuYasha was the first anime I was ever obsessed with back in grade school. I gotta say all these years later I still think Grip! is the best anime OP of all time. Everything about it perfectly what an OP should be. Close second for me is the 5th One Piece opening.

Likely so they couldn't just kill off Naraku in one go by targeting Hakudoshi.

>>275818573
We had multiple demon attacks in the modern day early in the series. Rumiko even more or less confirmed they still existed, but she didn't want to deal with the fucking implications of that so she left it aside in favor of making Kagome spend more and more time in the feudal era. The Yashahime manga picked this plot point back up but since it's shorter than all of the OG series, it's not like it's developed in much depth.

Remember when Naraku blasted out of the Youkai graveyard? He need the baby to remain in the living world to act as a gateway for him but doing so would still put his heart in danger so he made them split again to still can use one as a gateway while the other keep his heart safe.

Yes, the logistics of their trek are never brought up. They typically always have food, the money to pay for it, and everything else.

>Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water. When she closed her eyes at last, Kagome did not know whether she would be strong enough to open them again. - Rumiko Takhashi, Inuyasha

Yeah, but no maxi pads or tampons or anything like you'd think. perhaps because she knows her fanbase is mostly young males, she avoided that? She in fact has not made a single reference to menstruation in her entire comic career.

>They typically always have food
there's also all the times where it's just fish cooked around the campfire lol
I'm sure inuyasha's is decent at hunting with his nose and speed, sango is likely a good hunter too
>Half the time they sleep in a field with seemingly zero gear
such was life anon
plus most of the series takes place within less than a year, it doesn't get into winter until almost the end of the series
>Does Kagome bring a pack of tampons around with her each time she does a trip?
1. probably
2. the trips aren't that long, she knows when her time is

just put a jewel shard in her like Kohaku. Avoids all that pesky soul collector bullshit. Simple

I wonder whether she introduced Sango to modern pads and tampons.

one more day remains

Or even more likely, the usual kind of demon that eats young women alive kidnaps and devours your daughter not as a sacrifice but randomly with no assurance of the village's safety.

cute

>>275851690
I'd like to think she never did.
Even after deciding to stay in the past forever.

>>275751355
Nobody likes Naraku, the only reason Kana is fine with him is because she is void

>>275751647
Sexomaru!

I can picture the two getting along.

Too late by a long shot.
She has no body anymore.
She's made of ash and clay.

When was the last time we made bump limit?
>>
>>275870655
This is the first
>>
>>275870655
I'm pretty sure at least one Inuyasha thread has hit bump limit in the past year.
>>
>>275871840
>>275871859
We've gotten close before but it's usually right before the next thread. This is the first time I remember us getting there so early.
>>
see you in 3 days
