History Trivia / InuYasha

*** Naraku is [[WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes Dr. Doom]]!

*** Sesshomaru would say '''[[Anime/CodeGeass ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!!!!]]'''

*** Inuyasha is [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma]], also [[Manga/DeathNote L]], and [[Manga/DetectiveConan Shinichi Kudo]] (In one episode, Conan is reading a Shonen Sunday manga with Inuyasha on the front cover paying homage to it).

*** Sesshomaru is [[GundamWing Treize Khushrenada]], he also used to be the [[Creator/DavidKaye leader of the]] [[BeastWars Predacons]], and later on, he'll lead the Decepticons [[Anime/TransformersArmada through]] [[Anime/TransformersEnergon various]] [[Anime/TransformersCybertron schemes]] involving [[Anime/UnicronTrilogy a giant, living, transforming planet]].

* TeasingCreator: Similar to [[{{Ranma}} another famous work by Takahashi,]] she makes the main pairing of Inuyasha painfully obvious from early on, continuously giving them plenty of hinting or down right romantic moments, however, Inuyasha and Kagome[[spoiler: don't share a ''single'' kiss throughout the entire content of about ''550 chapters.'' Not. Once. And even when they're ''about'' to at one point, Takahashi infamously decided to have Kagome's little brother randomly barge in to interrupt them. Even at the end, their reunion after three years apart is reduced to a simple hug, and they're barely hinted to become married (it's only apparent because Kagome humorously calls out to Sesshomaru as "brother-in-law"). The makers of the anime must have recognized the "unfairness" of it however, for they expanded a hug Inuyasha and Kagome shared during the final battle into including a kiss as well. The kiss in the second movie is usually not counted as the {{OVA}}s are questionably canon to the original story.]]

** The anime was originally meant to air on Creator/CartoonNetwork's {{Toonami}} block. However, it instead ended up on AdultSwim due to content issues, making it one of the few [adult swim] anime shows that were meant for Toonami, until November 4, 2012, when the show has managed to [[AvertedTrope avert]] this, finally airing on the [[{{Uncanceled}} revived]] Toonami block. It was initially Daylight Savings Time filler, before being officially added to the lineup on November 11th, replacing fellow [adult swim] show ''GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex''.

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Takahashi has admitted she doesn't know where her stories are going, she just writes them as they go.

* MissingEpisode[=/=]NoExportForYou[=/=]ScrewedByTheNetwork: To anime fans in Hungary, this series is the poster-boy for these tropes, as it's been canceled after episode 113, and the license for ''Final Act'' was denied by the distributors because of this. For the last few years, so many fan-undertakings have tried to bring it back that they've even seen some media attention -- though mostly in a negative sense. What makes this even more bothersome is that the base series has been fully dubbed in its unedited form, but those last episodes were never made available anywhere. Also of note, much of the same was true for the German release, but at least they seem to be rectifying it by finally dubbing the remainder of the series.
