A lot of really powerful moments in this. Learning a bit about what exactly the 四魂の玉 is was cool - particularly since it's designed from actual Shintou theory (Mitama). There's a really great moment with Inuyasha, at the end of the cave scene, that the anime altered. I definitely prefer this version! In the anime, Inuyasha boasts about using the 四魂の玉 to become a full 妖怪 regardless. In the manga he says if the jewel is somehow making the bloody events repeat themselves, he'll put an end to the cycle.
