"The Woman Who Loved Sesshomaru" is a two-part episode about a young woman (daughter of a daimyo) who falls in love with InuYasha's icy older brother, Sesshomaru. Injured and unable to move, the lordly Sesshomaru is forced to wait out the healing process in the forest at the base of an enormous old tree. During his convalesence, the woman comes across him and is struck to her heart with love for him. When her father finds out that she is going to the forest each day to check on the demon/youkai, he takes a troop of men and attempts to kill the object of her desire. However, even injured, Sesshomaru is a deadly foe and he turns his attackers bullets aside easily. Defeated, the girl's father retreats to the castle and sets it ablaze while the young girl ends up in a nunnery. Years later upon her deathbed, she makes a pact with a hoard of demons so that she may yet have a chance to express her love to Sesshomaru. InuYasha and crew are drawn into her plans and are very nearly made into fetching statuary in the process.
The third episode encompasses the efforts of Miroku (with the help of his long-suffering friends) to fulfill the last wishes of Mushin, the priest who cared for him when his father succumbed to the void of the Kazanaa/Wind Tunnel. Mushin gives the group a long list of things to do which sees InuYasha beating dust out of rugs with Tetsusaiga and Sango and Kagome using their marksmanship skills to do laundry. Later, Hachi, Shippou and Kagome are bespelled into a raucous karaoke session while Sango falls amorously into the arms of InuYasha, begging for the two of them to get away somewhere!! This episode has a lot of comedic bits and humorous situations but ends a little more seriosly when Mushin gives InuYasha some solemn information about the future.

I srtongly recomend you see Witch Hunter Robin if you like InuYasha. The last episode on this DvD was the best. Darn...I wrote a really long review and my sister deleted it. I'm not going to bother to retype it sorry.

I bought the entire series all at once in japanese from Ebay about 2 years ago, so I've seen the entire series at least twice. I've totally forgotten to keep checking up on this series, but any and every Inuyasha episode is worth buying!!!

Volume 45 of Inuyasha features an hour long "special" that was reminescent in quality of the Inuyasha movies, meaning that while they were watchable and slightly entertaining, they lacked any character development or plot advancement. The hour-long episode focuses almost exclusively on Sesshomaru and a once human but now demon girl that fell in love with him years ago. She happened upon him in the forest shortly after Inuyasha removed his arm during their first battle on one of the early DVD volumes. She fell in love with him at first sight and overheard him mumbling something about getting Inuyasha back and taking the Tetsusaiga from him. Feeling that if she gets the sword for him, Sesshomaru might acknowledge her love, she attacks Inuyasha and his friends. The other episode on the disc concerns the impending death of Miroku's mentor, the alcoholic priest Mushin, whose tragic tale turns into comedy as he guilt trips Miroku, Inuyasha, and the others to do all kinds of last requests, like cleaning the temple, taking him to an inn, and retrieving some divine sake!
Sometimes I feel that after 45 volumes Inuyasha is just sorta dithering around looking for a direction to go in. I mean, after all these episodes, they STILL haven't been able to kill Naraku??!! They just seem pretty incompetent at this point. Maybe they should hire someone else to do the job. Sesshomaru hasn't evolved since he let Rin begin to accompany him way back when. I guess the problem that's beginning to develop for me is the fact that the overarching story arc of killing Naraku is just not that compelling anymore. But on the other hand, if the writers turn their attention from Naraku, you feel as if the episodes are merely filler, so you can't win either way. To me, resolve the Naraku plotline and move on to other subject matter. Still a good show, but the creativity is beginning to wane.
