Trivia

 * Akuru or his pinwheel is shown to have some sort of healing ability as he uses this power to revitalize Towa.
 * Akuru makes direct physical contact with the Half-Demon Princesses for the first time.
 * Jaken who erroneously could see Akuru in Episode 29, reveals that he cannot see the spirit but can hear his pinwheel.
 * Inuyasha battles Kirinmaru for the first time alongside his wife and teenage daughter.
 * Moroha gets a new weapon, a longbow made out of Inuyasha's sliver-white hair and materials from her grandfather's grave. It seems to boost her spiritual powers somewhat like Kagome's longbow does for hers.
 * Miroku and Sango retain their old running gag of her slapping him for touching her behind even after all these years. Showing they are more casual about it; since they carry on with the conversation after she strikes him.
 * Rion becoming unable to move without enough haku to sustain her artificial body is reminiscent of Kikyō to when she was deprived of the spirits of the departed without her Soul Collectors nearby.
 * Miroku's staff is returned to him.
