Takahashi comments

http://web.archive.org/web/19980214184751/j-pop.com/archive/manga/6/feature/feature1.html

"INU-YASHA is a fantasy manga in which Kagome, a teenage girl from modern Japan, travels back to Japan's Middle Ages to face demonic creatures from the past... and Inu-Yasha, her unwitting demonic ally, captured by herself in a former life. The art style draws from Takahashi's action-heavy RANMA 1/2 and the moodier MERMAID'S FOREST, and sees some of her first use of computer tone effects, giving it a denser look. Super-powered battles abound, and it wouldn't be Takahashi without humor, but the atmosphere is generally fantastic -- and horrific.

INU-YASHA is similar in many ways to Yoshihiro Kuroiwa's ZENKI THE DEMON PRINCE and Kazuhiro Fujita's OSHIO AND TORA, both successful manga (and anime) in which the descendants of priests summon or release bloodthirsty demons but, luckily, are able to bend them to their will. (USHIO AND TORA has its cat-like "Tora" pinned to a wall with a 'demon spear'; ZENKI has a female heroine.) But the feudal setting, and time travel, recalls nothing as much as Rumiko Takahashi's FIRE TRIPPER.
...

Inu-Yasha (which translates roughly to "dog demon" -- "I wanted a cool, but wild name," Takahashi has said)"

Missing media

There are 3 "OVAs" and a theater production that are not mentioned in this article (seen here under "specials"). I'm not a big fan of this series so I'm just letting it be known, someone else can add them and try to find reliable sources. 00:16, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

InuYasha versus Inuyasha

So, when Viz licensed the series, they first went Inu-Yasha, both as the name of the series and the main character. After they moved from their Viz Graphic Novel line to their Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line, they made a new logo and the series became InuYasha while the character himself became Inuyasha. This holds true for both the comic and the anime, as well as all other official sources (such as Viz' website). I guess I should mention that Inuyasha is now also used as the name of the series nowadays, like on Viz' website and on Hulu... But that isn't the point I'm trying to make. I'm just saying his name is Inuyasha, and has never been InuYasha, so I would like to correct this mistake on the various pages. Any objections? Linkdude20002001 (talk) 21:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now, for the title itself... It too started out as Inu-Yasha back when Viz first licensed the comic, but when they made that move to Shonen Jump Graphic Novels, they made a brand new, more catchy-looking logo stylized as InuYasha. From this point on, whenever Viz referred to the show, they called it InuYasha as it was written in the logo. However, nowadays they write it out as Inuyasha like they do the character's name. Go do any amount of searching, and that's exactly what you will see. You can check out the official "Inuyasha" page on Viz' website, Neon Alley, and Hulu for examples of the updated spelling in action. We should move the page to Inuyasha. Linkdude20002001 (talk) 22:31, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you. If you go to www.viz.com/inuyasha - it is listed as "Inuyasha". If the move is made, all Inuyasha sub-pages need to be moved as well. Good point. Chambr (talk) 05:18, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also support this. Lucia Black (talk) 05:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

– Despite the logo stylizing the name as "InuYasha", Viz never spells it that way. Both the character and the show are constantly refered to as "Inuyasha". Sources: the official "Inuyasha" page on Viz' website, Neon Alley, Hulu, the back description on the comics (the actual material in the comic itself uses all capital letters, so it's of no use), the back description on the DVDs and BDs, and the official subtitles.

Should the article also use youkai, hanyou, and kitsune

I know the English version uses Demon. I am not suggest to change the content but I am asking should there be a note that in the Japanese they are known as Youkai or hanyou. Youkai are not really the same thing as demons.

Also, with Shippo he is a kitsune (fox) youkai should that also be stated? Truthseeker1022 (talk) 20:52, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My edits

Hello, 

I updated the article and it was reverted back with an summary that did not fit what I changed.

my edits. 1. The article said "powerful demon Naraku" he is a half-demon said in animation and the manga. (in Japanese he is a hanyou) 2. The manga volume 1 page 11-13 is the day before Kagome Higurashi birthday. page 14 is the start of her birthday. The Animation follows the manga. 3. I added this edit because the manga has it 1997 for the English manga version and in the Japanese version it is 1996. "The year is 1996 for the Japanese version and 1997 for the English version." 4. I added "according to the animation" on this because the manga is different. Instead of hitting the bottom of the well, Kagome ends up 500 years in the past (1496) during Japan's Sengoku period according to the animation

I do not understand why the summary said "The series' full title already says it's Sengoku" I did not make that edit. Also, not sure why it was revert. I did revert it fit the manga and animation. I did add a reference.

My sources are the manga and the animation. I was helping the article grow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthseeker1022 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The general plot doesn't need to nitpick which exact day the series started or the year. The year is clearly meant to be the present time whether it be 1996 or 1997, and Kagome's events occur on her 15th birthday (as with Bloom turning 16 in Winx Club). Also, the half-demon part should only be noted if he is introduced as such. If the character was later revealed to be a half-demon some number of chapters later then you can discuss that in the later part of the plot. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:35, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If the series introduction for each episode goes, "It is the year 1996. Kagome...", then you can leave in the year as it is part of the narrative. But I don't remember the series placing such an emphasis in the manga or anime. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:41, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]


@AngusWOOF:Your comment makes more sense than what the summary I got. But I would still had to disagree. I don't think I am nitpicking, just presenting the truth and it is just a lot of fans looks for this information. I wanted to make this article reliable. My edits: 1. Naraku is reveal to be a half demon/ hanyou Manga vol 13 chapter 10, overall chapter 108. Animation: episode 33. It would be misleading to leave it as it is. Also, that was not in the plot section. 2. The manga and animation starts at on the day before her birthday for pages 11-13 or Episode 1 of the animation. my edit never incited the events happen the day before her birthday. It still incited her birthday. Netflix: 4:36 Kagome to her grandpa: "Remember what day tomorrow is?" 4:39 Her grandpa to her "How could I forget my dear granddaugther's birthday." as seen on page 12 of the manga. I had no clue about winx club but I just watched the first section of the first episode. Bloom says "she is already 16" indicating it is not her birthday not unless it is said later.Which is different from what happens in Inuyasha both manga and animation. 3. The manga volume 1 chapter 1 page 11 said 1997 Tokyo for the English. For the Japanese it says year 1996 Tokyo. Don't think the English animation says the year. The Japanese version may had. 4. It is only for the animation, not manga. Which is misleading. That information does not fit for the manga and the manga never incited the amount of time she went back. 500 years is too much.
All my edits enhances the page and makes it more of a reliable source. I wanted to build for a better reliable source. We are suppose to work together and build a better source without misleading. All the information in the edits should be included in the article. Isn't this suppose to present factual information to help others? I don't think this is suppose to mislead others with what I believe are half truths from the manga and animation. My edits are back with the sources and the summaries both reported what I put as vandalism. My edits were constructive and provide factual information to provide a better source. Just because someone made constructive edits does not make it vandalism, only because if someone can't remember what is official information or knew of the knowledge before hand or goes against what someone knows. Not all edits are vandalism. My factual edits were not vandalism. I disagree with both summary edits to my edits. I still believe this information should be in the article. Truthseeker1022 (talk) 01:55, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but I have to agree with the others that this is extraneous detail. Things like "a day before" or "on her birthday" are not the most important parts of the plot, which should describe the main events of the story to the point. (See: MOS:PLOT) As for the detailing of the differences between different versions, I don't really think it is worth noting here unless the difference is significant, such as in Dragon Ball Z for It's over 9000. (See: MOS:AM#Plot) The detail about Naraku being a half-demon is already mentioned in the plot section: "devious half-demon named Naraku". Opencooper (talk) 02:30, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Opencooper: Is that how you use that? There have been two that has revert the edit and one was about "The series' full title already says it's Sengoku." Which had nothing to do with my edits. I am not sure how you agree with that but okay. I disagree and disagree with the second one. My point was about the content should be there on the page not the in the plot. Even though my edits were in the plot. I can see where your comment comes from but it was not what I meant. So the material should be okay in other places on the article? Because, I don't believe they are extraneous detail since I only correct what was there with verifiable accuracy and definitely was not vandalism. I am sorry to say, the plot now has "The story begins in Tokyo on the fifteenth birthday...." My edit to this and all my edits were to verifiable accuracy. As you said they "are not most important parts of the plot..." However, the information is still there. If the smallest of details that are really there are not important and are half truths how could people consider this a good source? How does this help others? How is half truths presenting the main and "more" important information accurately? How does that make it reliable? I present information with verifiable accuracy and that is what the articles should strive for. Not when the information contradicts itself, like the summary have "powerful demon Naraku" and then the plot ""devious half-demon named Naraku." How does that have a reliable article when the information is not accurate. Again, I only edited what was there which was not in complete accuracy. The information that is there is not verifiable accuracy. Are you agreeing to keep the information where it is not accurate? While this is not important as the rest of the story, it should reflect the sources to have complete accuracy.
Article Now: "the powerful demon Naraku" half accurate. My edit. "powerful half-demon Naraku" Verifiable accuracy
Article Now: "The story begins in Tokyo on the fifteenth birthday of Kagome Higurashi, a girl who lives on the grounds of her family's hereditary Shinto shrine with her mother, grandfather and little brother. When she goes into the well house..." half accurate. My edit: he story begins in Tokyo a day before the fifteenth birthday of Kagome Higurashi, a girl who lives on the grounds of her family's hereditary Shinto shrine with her mother, grandfather and little brother.ref Volume 1 Chapter 1 pages 11-14 /ref The year is 1996 for the Japanese version and 1997 for the English version. On the day of her birthday, when she goes into the well house. Verifiable accuracy. Article Now: Instead of hitting the bottom of the well, Kagome ends up 500 years in the past (1496) during Japan's Sengoku period. half accurate. My edit. "Instead of hitting the bottom of the well, Kagome ends up 500 years in the past (1496) during Japan's Sengoku period according to the animation according to the animation." Verifiable accuracy because the manga never give a precise time where the animation did. Maybe What is in the article now should not be in the plot because you said "that this is extraneous detail. Things like "a day before" or "on her birthday" are not the most important parts of the plot, which should describe the main events of the story to the point." However, it is there and I wanted to have this article to strive to be the reliable source with verifiable accuracy. If people can not trust the small details why trust the major details? The information on the page is misleading and not accurate. Truthseeker1022 (talk) 03:40, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the day before the birthday. Yes, the story might have started the day before her birthday but that is trivial information. Her fall into the well happened on her 15th birthday. As for 1996 vs. 1997, I removed that and replaced it with modern-day Tokyo, and removed the 1496 / 1497 year. Otherwise it would have to be explained in the footnote that the year immediately differs. That it is during the Sengoku period is good enough there. The half-demon part is revealed on chapter 108 but the character was introduced in chapter 59? That's almost 50 chapters away, nearly a full year's time if the series was released one chapter a week. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:30, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@AngusWOOF: I am not sure how removing it would improve the article. However, it does seem like the original edits were in the wrong place and taken care of when they were made. They just need to be in the right place. My edits only made it more reliable with verifiable accuracy. The first revert of my edits the summary used Twinkle and made a false assumption on my edits. I revert that because it did not fit what I did and I know my edits were constructive and made in verifiable accuracy. The second revert was used Twinkle and rv to revert it back to half-truths and unconstructive edit with another comment that did not seems to fit. I believe if the time was taken to look at the original edit to my own. Someone would see I was making good faith edits and that the original material need to removed and placed in the right place. All this could had been avoided by editing the original and explaining why to me, since I was a new comer. If this situation was reversed I would read the original as well, and if I made a rv and used twinkle on a good faith edit. I would apologize already. I would make it in the summary of an edit. So others would know that person’s edit was not vandalism. I would also talk to the person and tell them where to place things or explain why it would not go there when they are new users than to assume. Something like this would had been easily avoided. I believe that any information from any reliable source is not trivial no matter how small or big. I have always claim she fell in the well on her 15Th birthday. I believe that has been well established and I never say anything inciting otherwise. I never said anything against using Sengoku period. Removing what you did helps, however I would suggest “about” 500 years. The series has been over for a few years it should not matter about the time it was released. Maybe it should just say villain in the first part leaving the plot one alone because the page contradicts itself with that. I am sorry to say the only thing I found benefits my situation in the comment was the changes that were made. That is what I believe encourages conversations and working together. Truthseeker1022 (talk) 23:06, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I threw in "about" as you have mentioned. It is mentioned in the anime, but not the manga, but they do mention Ancient Japan. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:16, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@AngusWOOF: Yes, I know I was the one that claim that on this page as proof. Yes I know I have watched Inuyasha and read the manga a few times in Japanese and In English for a research essay. Though, if I make other good faith edits with verifiable accuracy would it always be something like this? I don't like that my good faith edits was revert because being called "vandalism".  :/ Never foreseen this trouble of verifiable accurate edits. :/ Truthseeker1022 (talk) 23:57, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
