Preview from previous episode

	Hakudoshi released a stampede of zushi rats. And Kohaku appears near him!
	Let the rats spread and attack villages. This country is now facing the fate of being eaten up.
	Unexpectedly, the rats are gathering!
	This is mayose, a method of gathering demons and destroying them all at once. It can’t be done without strong holy powers.
	Next on Inuyasha, "Stampede of Countless Demon Rats".
	Is Kikyo near...?

Oddities

How could Kagura find the same clothes for Hakudoshi three times in a row?

Did you notice Shippo holding onto Inuyasha's hair to prevent it from flying into his face? (see image)

"You understand now, you two-timing dog?"

Things brought from modern era (or why Kagome's bag is so huge)

Lollipop.

Add your oddity, observation or comments?

Quotes

	Inuyasha really is a troublesome guy! Always wagging his tail and running after women of his past. If you feed a dog for three days, he'll never forget the favor...
	Who's feeding who here?

	Kikyo... wasn't there.
	You don't have to lie.
	Why would I have to lie about it, you idiot?
	Sit.
	Damn you...!
	Sit. And to think I was being considerate about letting you go alone! Sit! You could at least tell me what you talked about! Sit! I was just worried you'd do something stupid, but you're so stubborn! Sit!!

	People take advantage of an open heart.

	Are you scared of Naraku, Shippo? In that case, wouldn't it have been better for you to go along with Miroku and Sango?
	I can't do that! When you and Kikyo meet up and there's that weird mood hanging in the air, who's going to comfort Kagome?!
	... ...
	... ...
	You understand now, you two-timing dog?
