Just call me Banryu. Inuyasha was my very first anime and manga, and it will always be my favorite. I own the entire anime, and now possess all 56 volumes of the Manga, as well as the Inuyasha profiles book. Therefore, I am the god of Inuyasha Manga... kukuku... Yeah. So, I can solve any and all disputes about what does or does not occur in the manga. Because so many people think that the scanlation versions are accurate representations of the manga... but they really aren't. I'm practically the Chapter page guru around here. So far, I've written pretty much every chapter from about 230-370 or so. I plan to write/revise all of them eventually, as I'm slowly working on them one by one, but for now I'm just writing the more important arcs of the Manga.

My favorite character is Sesshōmaru, hands down. In fact, the series would not have clicked with me so strongly if his character had been absent. A few other characters I like are Bankotsu and the Band of Seven, Kikyō, Tsubaki, Kōga, Kagura, Naraku, and of course Inuyasha.

If you have any questions about something on the wiki, or questions especially relating to the chapter pages, please don't hesitate to ask me about it. Let me know if you need anything and I'll be happy to help.

==Completed Chapters== 12-23 (Sesshomaru's Debut - Beginning of Noh Mask) 28-34 Shippo/Thunder Brothers Arc 59-64 (Sesshomaru & Naraku Join Forces) 275-370 (End of the Mt. Hakurei Arc - Hakudōshi's death) ==To do list== 01-02 The Beginning 03-11 Yura of the Hair 45-50 Reviving Kikyō 51-54 Meeting Miroku All the Sango/Kohaku stuff in volumes 10,11, and 12, whatever scattered chapters those are in. ==Need to be revised== 125-129 Totosai/Tessaiga & Tenseiga 130-141 Koga the Wolf Demon 142-146 Kagura the Wind Sorceress 147-153 Kanna of the Void 154-157 Goshinki 158-163 Kaijinbo & Tokijin 164-170 Juromaru & Kageromaru 193-198 Tsubaki Arc 188-192 Ryukotsusei

Then to Vol. 39.

===============================================

The differences between the Manga and its equivalent in InuYasha The Final Act are as follows:

1a. In the Final Act, Hakudōshi is the one who steals Kagome's sacred jewel shard

1m. In the Manga, Mōryōmaru steals the shard from Kagome. -

2a. In the anime, Hakudōshi gives Mōryōmaru the jewel shard after he steals it.

2m. In the Manga, Mōryōmaru has Kagome's jewel shard the whole time up until he is absorbed by Naraku. -

3a. In the Final Act, in the scene where Hakudōshi and Kagura are fighting, Gōryōmaru shows up and transforms into Mōryōmaru. For the anime, this is how the group learns that the two are one and the same

3m. In the manga, the group learns that Goryōmaru is Mōryōmaru during a separate battle. -

4a. That earlier battle from the Manga is substituted for a different one that occurs in Episode 2 of the Final Act Anime. In that episode of the final act, the battle is Sesshōmaru versus Mōryōmaru.

4m. In the Manga, the battle includes all of Inuyasha's group, as well as Inuyasha as a mortal due to the night of the new moon. -

5a. During the forementioned battle, Sesshōmaru's Tōkijin breaks.

5a. In the Manga, Sesshōmaru's sword breaks much later on in a different battle, after Kagura's death. -

6a. In the anime, Kikyō combines souls with Midoriko before Kagura's death.

6m.In the Manga however, this occurs after the incarnation is killed by Naraku's miasma. -

7a. In the anime: Kōga acquiring the Goraishi, Mōryōmaru absorbing Meijou, and Kohaku leaving the group to travel with Kikyō all happen before Kagura's death.

7m. In the Manga these events all occur after the incarnation is killed by Naraku's miasma. -

8a. Several chapters, which I will list once I find them all, are not adapted into any episodes of the final act. Only major plot points were put into the 26 episodes that comprise I:tFA.

8m.(obviously the chapters DO occur in the Manga...) -

9a. Hitomiko is given a flashback where she meets Naraku as a child and her spiritual past is eleaborated upon.

8m. No such flashbacks occur in the Manga, her first appearance is when villagers tell Inuyasha's group how she just died. -
