Inuyasha's Transformation
" When does he overcome his demon blood? I know a 2000-year-old Magnolia tree who would argue that this is impossible. Please explain. "

It was during his fight with Ryukotsusei. Bokusenō said Inuyasha would be consumed by his demon blood and fight until he was destroyed because he couldn't control himself when he was in that state. But when he was battling Ryukotsusei while transformed, he stopped himself from fighting and picked up his sword through sheer force of will. That meant he learned to control his demon blood, making him strong enough to wield his sword again.

Also, I'd like to point out that he didn't transform during his final fight with Bankotsu, and then there was no barrier, Bankotsu was a strong opponent, and his life was in jeopardy--from both Bankotsu and the demons waiting to eat the victor. Damaijin (talk) 02:04, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

That's not true at all. Inuyasha wasn't able to "control his demon blood," he was only able to restrain himself long enough to grab hold of the Tessaiga. He didn't just go back to normal, he was still transformed until he grabbed the Tessaiga again. Also, let us not forget that Inuyasha continues to transform after this fight. The two times that I can think of are in the second movie, the third movie, and in the Final Act.-- 02:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

In the second movie, Kaguya used her jutsu to force him to transform (Miroku provided some exposition that she could only do that because in the world of mirrors, she was stronger and held power over reality) (and he still overcame it, btw); and in the third movie he didn't transform, he was possessed by Sounga (also, he had Tessaiga in his possession at the time, so could he have transformed?). I haven't read the manga or seen the Final Act, so I guess I have nothing left to say. Damaijin (talk) 01:20, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

However, the main drive of your point is that he can control it, or at least that he overcomes it in some final way, which, as these instances point out, he doesn't. Clearly Kaguya was manipulating his heart, but if he had control of his demon blood, he wouldn't have tried to attack Kagome. The same could be said of him while he was under Sō'unga's influence.-- 02:37, April 10, 2014 (UTC)
