Inuyasha 558 "Tomorrow"

It's over. It's really over. And I'll be damned if the conclusion wasn't just about as satisfying as I could hope for... Really. I was pretty happy with the ending, amazingly enough. There was, of course, always my fantasy ending that I'd read in a fanfic or two where Inuyasha and Kagome would be going to see Sesshoumaru's first kid with Rin, but I'm a Sess/Rin fangirl and that's just wishful thinking. Ideally, of course, there'd be a bit more detail about my favorite two characters, but as I said... overall, I was pleased.

Two days ago I'd almost read the whole spoiler at Freelance, but I'd stopped myself. Starks was kind enough to put such a spoiler behind two cuts. Especially since it was the end and I simply could not wait to find out the fate of my beloved characters, I read the chapter at AdInuyasha.

Since it's such a big event, and it's still so fresh, and Freelance's nice scans aren't even out yet, I'll save my summary/pictures/analysis/rambling until a bit later.

I've been in this for a long time... It's such a big part of my life and fangirly-ness, I guess it'll take a while to set in...

I certainly love happy endings, I do... My summary will be fun to write... >_>

Inuyasha... Nearly Over. Seriously.

Well, that hit me like a punch to the gut. That's what I get for falling behind in Inuyasha chapters... It fucking ends. I mean, I knew it was coming... It still seems so sudden...

I'm actually choked up over this... THERE BETTER BE ONE HELL OF A CONCLUSION!!

No Inuyasha this week... ;__;

It's Golden Week so there's no Inuyasha this week. I hope RT (Rumiko Takahashi) is thinking hard about how to end this series so everyone's happy with the outcome... (unless, of course, your favorite character has already been killed off or something... <__<)

Mostly, I'd like a satisfying conclusion that leaves few, if any, questions about where the characters will go from here. Something difinitive, like a wedding or two (or three, if you're a rabid Sesshoumaru/Rin fangirl like me).

That's probably expecting too much, though. I get the feeling I'm not the only one who feels this way, either... See? Starks is concerned as well...

Inuyasha 551

Yep. Naraku the blob's plan was to destroy the village. He was counting on Inuyasha and co.'s compassion for smelly humans and Kikyou's home to save his ass.

Did he forget about Sesshoumaru?

Inuyasha: "Damn you, Naraku!"
Naraku: "Didn't you realize where you were? If you destroy me now, my [shouki blob goo] body will poison the village!"
Sesshoumaru: *attcks anyway* "So what?"

Go Sesshoumaru.

NEXT WEEK! Kagome takes aim and the black shikon jewel and (presumably) shoots an arrow at it... It's supposed to be shocking, but pretty much the only thing that would shock me was if this concluded in a timely manner...

Read 551 now at Adinuyasha. Freelance will have pretty scans up in a day or two, I imagine.

Inuyasha 550

Holy crap! It's officially the final battle. No one has died, yet (except Byakuya and it was such a sad, pitiful death that it only took up half a page). Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru seem to be dealing devastating blows to the giant stinky ball of shouki that is Naraku, who is transforming into something even uglier. Kagome can't purify the shouki around her for some reason, perhaps due to the seemingly pointless swipe Byakuya made at her with his sword before he died, so of course, it won't be over that easily.

So what is Naraku doing? Why, he's floating his giant blobby self to Kaede's village, of course.

So I'm like "WTF?"

I guess if he's going to fight to the death while releasing large amounts of evil poison vapors and goo, doing it over the village where Kikyo lived is the place to do it, right? Inuyasha and his bleeding-hearted companions will probably be at some disadvantage trying to keep innocent bystanders from getting killed, but surely there's more to it than that...?
It seems he has some plan, but as to what the hell it could be that involves a smelly human village, I have no clue.

Props to RT for getting Rin out of harm's way for once. And I loved Sesshoumaru's "..." when Rin gives Sango her gas mask back with a 'thank you'. Of course, the poor child was unconscious at the time so she doesn't know that Sango was about to kill her, but Sesshoumaru sure as hell knew.

Anyway... It seems it really is the end... even so, it may be another 100 chapters before it's actually over...

<_< mu... Until next week...
Read 550 now at Adinuyasha. Freelance is waiting for their magazine to do their nice pretty scans, so it could be a day or two before it's out there. I almost always read theirs, but I'm impatient...

Inuyasha 549

Inuyasha chapter 549... It's the beginning of the end...? Still...? I don't know anymore. There was a whole 'triumphant group pose' thing going on, but I don't know...

Erbear's take on the matter... "well it has the makings of it, what with all the main characters being in one place... against mega death blob..."

Well said, Erbear.
