Orochidayū



Orochidayu is a Snake demon who only appears in the anime in episodes 94 and 95. His Japanese voice actor is Daiki Nakamura and his English voice actor is Colin Murdock.

He greatly resembles Daija, the false water god, for some reason. It's possible that it is just because that he and Daija are from the same demon species or that Sunrise media just recycled Daija's character design for Orochidayu.

Orochidayu desired to create a duplicate of the Shikon no Tama, but he needed to gather souls of humans to do so. He soon met Gyu-oh, a human-bull demon mix, who also wanted to create a new Shikon no Tama in order to change himself into a full-fledged human. They soon made a deal: if Gyu-oh helped Orochidayu create a new Shikon jewel, he would allow him to use it in order to change himself into a human. To further his army, Orochidayu also summoned the toad demon Gamajiro to help process humans' souls.

When InuYasha and his friends found out about this (Orochidayu used Gyu-oh disguised as the human "Izumo" to lure them to him) they decided to crush this plot. When InuYasha was temporarily separated from the group, Orochidayu appeared out of the shadows and attacked him. After persuing him, both of them ran into Gyu-oh (who had revealed his true form) and Kagome Higurashi. The snake demon than changed into his true form. InuYasha killed him soon afterwards.
