Osuwari

is a running gag in the series that has Kagome Higurashi saying a varying phrase that ends in Inuyasha falling flat on his face. There are many times in which she abuses this power such as when Inuyasha is annoying her or she doesn't feel like talking to him. Kagome got this power after Kaede placed a necklace on Inuyasha that gave control over him to Kagome. Some have tried to tell Inuyasha to sit but have failed to get the same results as Kagome is the only one who can control him as such.

Examples

 * Kagome and the gang are waiting for Inuyasha to end his conversation with Kikyo and when he gets back, Kagome becomes frustrated by his unwillingness to talk and repeatedly says "Sit, boy!" until he is implanted in the ground.


 * Inuyasha is picking on Shippo and Kagome yells "Inuyasha, sit boy!" and he falls flat on his face.


 * Kagome is upset with Inuyasha and has decided to not talk to him. Inuyasha, determined to get a response from her keeps egging her on and in retaliation of this annoyance yells for him to sit which makes him once again fall on his face.


 * Inuyasha and Kagome are going back and forth over whether or not Kagome is crying and she tells him to just shut up and sit.


 * Inuyasha is unknowingly being rude or saying something that might offend someone else and Kagome tells him to sit to get him to be quiet.
 * Kagome accidentally said sit in the middle of a conversation with the rest of the gang, but Inuyasha still "sits"

Trivia

 * In "InuYasha the Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass" and "InuYasha the Movie: Swords of an Honorable Ruler", Kagome uses the "Sit Boy!" command in such a way that it saves his life (it pulls him to the ground before he is struck by a move that he couldn't have dodged otherwise). It is the first time that the spell that usually puts Inuyasha in pain is used to save his life.
 * There have been instances in which Kagome was able to activate the "sit!" command using the word "stupid" (Japanese dubs only).
 * On the episode "The Lucky, but Two-Timing Scoundrel", Sango told Inuyasha to sit, but failed.
