maybe-this-time:

The main thing that bothers me about this episode is how misplaced it is. How does the ninth (or so) volume end up in the third season? To start off with how wrong it is, they had to make up something to do with Sango, since she hadn’t been introduced in the manga yet. 

Stupid.

So, the episode starts with Kagome having a dream about acing a test and dragging it around like a giant flag. She wakes up, freaked out about a test. Apparently, it’s in three days. I have no idea how she could possibly know this but it’s all she bitches about for the first part of the episode, long enough for Sango to decide that three days off sounds good.

Flash to the giant ass Peach Man chasing and eating a man, going off about everything he knows about the man, ending with “You want to know how I know? I know this because you told me.” Wow, Sherlock.

So, back to our “Heroes”. They’re walking around and they run into floating peaches with faces in the river. Kagome is like “let’s follow, my test be damned!” Inuyasha is wary and wants to do it quickly because, you know, the freaking New Moon is coming up. But Kagome doesn’t remember that, of course. She knows when her test is but not when the half-demon protecting her turns human. The worst part?

Shippo is the one who points it out. Shippo. Shippo is smarter than Kagome.

Just let that soak in for a moment.

So Miroku knows that the fruit is from a demon tree that eats humans and that they have to stop it. More fruit tumbles down the mountain and Miroku says “The tree is up there!” and Shippo replies with “You means at the top of the cliff?”

No, Shippo, he meant the  bottom of the cliff.

So, Inuyasha gets captured by the Peach Man and shrunk, getting himself sucked into the Peach Man’s magic gourd. Because, anime. Kagome and Miroku float up the cliff on Shippo and end up looking into the Peach Man’s tiny village, getting themselves shrunk too.

The Peach Man finds Kagome’s jewel shards on the floor and puts them with his other ones.

“These are going straight into my belly button.”

Inuyasha is now human (I fucking love human!Inuyasha) and trapped in the gourd without his Tetsusaiga. He has to avoid all the acid because he can “feel pain now” (could he not before?) and he decided to call the Tetsusaiga with it’s sheath. The sword plummets through a crevice that looks like a vagina, wiggles around a bit while Inuyasha encourages it (“That’s the way, big guy, keep it coming”, and then the Peach Man pulls the sword out. This sends Inuyasha tumbling out of the gourd in a cascade of water. In other words, Inuyasha is born!

He fights against the Peach Man, who has now turned to stone from the Jewel shards. The Peach man flies up to body slam Inuyasha and the dumbass raises his fist to fight the guy off. Which, you know, ends just how you think a human fending off a rock man with just him puny arm would -he gets his arm broken. Or, at least, he did in the manga.

The next episode opens up with Inuyasha being held captive in all of these vines that are drawing his blood aka “extracting his juices” (I’m skipping Kagome stuff because of hate). He notices the jewel shards and begins rambling on about Kagome, the Peach Man is like “What maiden?” and Inuyasha is like “The one who you took the jewels from!” which causes the Peach Man to go “You mean there’s a lady in here?!” 

Welcome to club stupid.

The Peach man goes after Kagome, and ends up freeing tiny Miroku and Shippo too. Kagome then goes on to attempt to nag the Peach Man to death, but he just crushes her in his hand. After some hijinks Inuyasha is free and finds Kagome bathing naked in some potion soup stuff. They look at each other with bishie sparkles until Kagome realizes she’s naked and she freaks out.

Boooooooobs. Boobs.

And now those shippers go cray. She crawls up to injured Inuyasha all naked and starts to cuddle. So. Cute. Miroku and Shippo pop out of Inuyasha’s hair, effectively ruining the moment.

Kagome decides that she has to defend everyone until dawn.

They’re doomed.

Fighting ensues and Inuyasha blindly lunges for the Peach Man after attempting the weakest distraction ever. 

Naturally, it fails.

They tumble down the mountain, and everyone thinks they’re dead. But no, the Peach Man is eaten by the tree roots and turns into a giant vine person. (Is this even IN the manga?) The vine guy tries to eat Inuyasha, but Inuyasha turns demon and says “Prepare to die Tolkejin, or should i say Tree of the Human Faced Fruits?”

And, no, Inuyasha you should NOT say that.

Then, when reunited with the gang, Inuyasha and Kagome flirt until fadeout.

Shipper feels.

She wakes up, freaked out about a test. Apparently, it’s in three days. I have no idea how she could possibly know this.

Wow. Idiot much? May be its because she goes home often and keeps in touch with friends? Plus the school has certain days reserved for weekly tests. Like every Saturday. Duh.

Inuyasha is wary and wants to do it quickly because, you know, the freaking New Moon is coming up. But Kagome doesn’t remember that, of course. 

She may know the days of the week. (Refer to above point about weekly tests.) Doesn’t mean she has to be aware of the dates as well. If anything Inuyasha is the idiot who doesn’t tell them his new moon is coming up.
