** [[https://twitter.com/HelenaWayneBlog/status/1279454784563675146 According to this tweet]], Stori didn't reprise the part due to the fans being unable to separate [[IAmNotSpock the character from her actress.]] This treatment also made Kikyo's actress, Willow Johnson, retire from voicework altogether after finishing the Final Act [[BaseBreakingCharacter with all the unflattering feedback from fans.]]

** Young Miroku had three different actresses/actors. The first was Rieko Takahashi in Season 2, then Motoki Takagi in Season 4, and finally Chiwa Saito in The Final Act.

** The English dub followed suit by casting Creator/RichardIanCox as Inuyasha, after he previously voiced Ranma in the last four seasons of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''.

* TalkingToHerself: Kagura and Kanna are both voiced by Creator/JanyseJaud.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: On the revived Toonami broadcast and the official streams, the first opening is replaced by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER1OCDjKhl8 Hanyou]] from the OST instead of "CHANGE THE WORLD" due to the rights to use the song expiring, this affects ''ALL'' releases of the series both internationally and ''even in Japan'' because this began with the Japanese rebroadcast of the show and this also means that an inevitable Blu-ray release won't have "CHANGE THE WORLD" either. Averted with the 2020 North American Blu-Ray release and the Channel 4 streams in the UK, which features "CHANGE THE WORLD" as the first opening. Hopefully this could mean that future prints of the series will also restore the song.

** At the end of the series, Takahashi contemplated back and forth on whether Kagome should stay in the future or the past, [[spoiler:but ultimately went for the latter to make for a happier ending.]] Takahashi had been so stuck on this dilemma, in fact, that she turned to Kagome's Japanese VA to ask what her opinion was. Yukino's immediate reply? [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments "I want to stay with Inuyasha!"]]

* AdoredByTheNetwork: Beginning its run in 2002, ''[=InuYasha=]'' always had a prominent presence on the schedule pf Creator/AdultSwim for many years. New episodes were always heavily promoted by the block, usually being the flagship show of the anime block, and it would always seem to find a way to consistently remain on weekday nights in reruns until the end of 2008. You couldn't escape the hotheaded half-demon no matter how hard you tried. Even after Creator/{{Toonami}} came back in May 2012 and the show was pulled, it still found its way back to the lineup in November, where it remained until the rights finally expired in March 2014. It was the ''second most-aired show on the entire block'' in 2007, only behind ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' (and even then, it probably only took first place because of a huge five day marathon that occurred at the end of 2007 when [as] was about to lose the rights to the series).

** According to an interview, Takahashi apparently becomes so embarrassed by writing romantic scenes that she often prefers to go for the more comedic scenario instead, which would explain the infamous AlmostKiss.

** To put into perspective how much [as] adored ''[=InuYasha=]'', it was the ''second most-aired show on the entire block'' in 2007, only behind ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' (and even then, it probably only took first place because of a huge five day marathon that occurred at the end of 2007 when [as] was about to lose the rights to the series.).

* 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 ''The 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.

** [[BadassGay Jakotsu]] was originally supposed to be female, but the author decided she didn't want Inuyasha fighting and defeating a human female so she made him a VillainousCrossdresser instead.

*** Kagome Higurashi: Moneca Stori --> Kira Tozer

** In the Mexican Spanish dub, it's not the first time Creator/EnzoFortuny (Inuyasha) has voiced [[Disney/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure a dog]].

* WikiRule: [[https://inuyasha.fandom.com/wiki/InuYasha_Wiki Inuyasha Wiki]]

* CrossDressingVoices: Jakotsu in all the dubs is voiced by a woman. Shippo and Sota are also voiced by women in both Japanese and English, as is Kohaku in the Japanese version.

** Similarly, Kagome's three best friends each share a voice with another character. [[SaffronHenderson Eri wi]][[RebeccaShoichet th Sota]], [[CathyWeseluck Ayumi with Kagome's mom]], and [[JillianMichaels Yuka with Shippo]].

** The Latin American Spanish dubs of the movies were dubbed in Venezuela, rather than Mexico.
*** In ''The Final Act'', most of the original Mexican Spanish cast returned to reprise their roles. However, Alan René Bressant voiced Naraku due to Luis Alfonso Padilla's death in 2012.

** It's not the first time that Creator/RichardIanCox [[Anime/{{ZoidsNewCentury}} uses a claw-type attack to attack his enemies]]. Although in th
