Review of InuYasha the Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler

Much better than the previous movies and in my opinion, better than the show. Unlike the show which has them fighting a new demon every single episode, this movie has a real plot that isn't predictable and you won't get bored of it. In the beginning we get to see a flashback of Inuyasha when he was born and being protected by his father, a moment that we’ve never actually seen in the show. Basically the story has Inuyasha taking hold of his father’s old sword called “Sounga” (really a bastard of a sword that only seeks blood and destruction) and the sword possesses him. One ofthe greatest parts in my opinion is that Inuyasha fights so hard against the sword to not hurt the humans or his friends, which really shows his will to protect them.

We know from previous experiences that Inuyasha can be a real jerk sometimes to people in general, but this movie somehow shows a side of Inuyasha that we don’t always see.

Rather than a fight for the jewel shards it becomes a fight between Inuyasha, his brother, and his father’s power. Definitely an action-packed movie that you have to see!
