3	''Inuyasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time'' is the first of the four ''Franchise/{{Inuyasha}}'' movies, released in 2001.
4
5	200 years ago, Inuyasha's father defeated Hyōga, a Chinese [[{{Youkai}} daiyokai]], and his son Menōmaru, and [[SealedEvilInACan sealed them away]]. Now, a shard of the Shikon Jewel has broken the seal on Menōmaru, and it falls to Inuyasha and his friends to finish what his father started... if they can.
6	----
7	!!''Inuyasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time'' provides examples of:
8	* AndIMustScream: Over the course of the film, Kagome is {{brainwashed\|AndCrazy}} by Menōmaru into trying to kill Inuyasha. Throughout the experience, she's fully conscious of her actions and surroundings, but unable to control her own body.
9	* AssimilationBackfire: Ruri copies Miroku's Wind Tunnel for her own use, and this trope hits her ''hard'' when she later deliberately expands it to gain an edge over Miroku, only to quickly lose control of it and be consumed.
10	* BigNo: Kagome gives out one as Menōmaru [[BrainwashedAndCrazy forces]] her to shoot Inuyasha with an arrow.
11	* BloodierAndGorier: Zig-zagged. Unlike the anime series, all visible blood is actually red as opposed to [[BlackBlood reddish-black]], [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111005011033/inuyasha/images/a/ad/Menomaru_stabs_Inuyasha.png as seen here]]. On the other hand, the movie is significantly less bloody than the TV series.
12	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Kagome, courtesy of Menōmaru.
13	* BullyingADragon: Ruri and Hari shows up before Sesshomaru and try to reclaim Tenseiga from him. The only reason why they appear later is because their master can bring them back to life.
14	* CurbstompBattle: Ruri and Hari try to attack Sesshomaru in the beginning of the film. He barely breaks stride as he cuts them both down.
15	* DeadlyHug: When Inuyasha first comes across the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] Kagome, she embraces him before proceeding to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impale]] him with [[LaserBlade energized]] WolverineClaws. This being [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Inuyasha]], he survives.
16	* DefiantCaptive: Kagome, while being held captive by Menōmaru to bait Inuyasha.
17	-->'''Menōmaru''': "Little girl, you are bait. So start acting like bait."\
18	'''Kagome''': "Why don't you ''make'' me?"
19	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Ruri ''really'' should have done more research on the [[PowerOfTheVoid Wind]] [[SuperPowerMeltdown Tunnel]] before she copied it from Miroku.
20	* FauxAffablyEvil: Menōmaru acts polite and regal, but is just as arrogant and racist as most other demons.
21	* FightingFromTheInside: Kagome while she's being controlled by Menōmaru. Near the end of her attack on Inuyasha, she manages to seize enough control to talk to Inuyasha and desperately warn him to run before it's too late, and even then, she's visibly struggling to do so.
22	* {{Foil}}: Ruri and Hari serve as such to Miroku and Sango, respectively. Ruri copies the Wind Tunnel and uses it, but unlike Miroku, has no idea how to control it or how it works, and Hari, unlike Sango, believes that animals such as Kirara are nothing but slaves rather than friends.
23	* GenerationXerox: In a particularly [[ForTheEvulz twisted]] show of {{irony}}, Menōmaru [[{{Brainwashing}} brainwashes]] Kagome into nailing Inuyasha to the sacred tree with an arrow just as Kikyo did. Kikyo even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it, citing the event as proof that Kagome really is her {{reincarnation}}.
24	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: During the final battle, Hari is sliced in half by Sango.
25	* HatesEveryoneEqually: When they meet, Sesshomaru asks Kikyo if she hates Kagome. Kikyo's response?
26	-->'''Kikyo''': "I loathe ''all'' things. I despise every living creature who's bound to time."
27	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: During her Wind Tunnel duel with Miroku, Ruri cuts the edge of hers to make it stronger... and quickly loses control of it and is consumed.
28	* LethalChef: Inverted. Kagome cooks up quite a feast for the gang early on. Much to her irritation, however, Inuyasha is only interested in the ramen.
29	* MacabreMothMotif: Menomaru is a Moth Youkai from China, and his lair is crawling with venomous moths, which also follows him around or serve as one of his attacks.
30	* MindControlEyes: Kagome has a mix of RedEyesTakeWarning and EmptyEyes while Menōmaru is controlling her.
31	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Menōmaru uses Inuyasha's LeeroyJenkins tendencies to his advantage to trick Inuyasha into breaking the seal on his father. Oops...
32	* NonSerialMovie: Inuyasha has learned the Backlash Wave and Rin is traveling with Sesshomaru, which sets the film at some point after episode 54 of the anime. However, Sesshomaru lacks [[EvilWeapon Tokijin]], Kikyo is still pissed off at the world, and Inuyasha still requires his opponent's demonic aura in order to perform the Wind Scar, which are all only possible prior to episode 45.
33	* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: When the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] Kagome begs for Inuyasha to run before she finishes him off, Inuyasha has this to say:
34	-->'''Inuyasha''': "That's enough! I don't wanna hear it! I'm ''sick'' of you and everyone else telling me to run. I'm ''not'' running! Not without you! I won't leave you behind!"
35	* NotQuiteDead: Inuyasha after Menōmaru forces Kagome to shoot him.
36	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: When he and Kikyo meet, Sesshomaru informs her that ''he'' will be the one to kill Inuyasha.
37	* PowerCopying: Ruri copies Miroku's Wind Tunnel... [[HoistByHisOwnPetard which proves her undoing]].
38	* ScaryScorpions: In the beginning, the group fights an enormous Scorpion Youkai with a seemingly living stinger and jaws in his pincers, mutated by a shard of the Shikon Jewel. Miroku claims that it's from the continent (though there are indigenous species), while later Hari summons a swarm of red scorpions to crawl over a captive Sango.
39	* SealedEvilInACan: Lord Hyoga once lead an invasion of Japan from China, to gorge on the souls of the dead caused by the civil wars, but he was slain by Inuyasha's father and sealed inside a tree in the middle of a dark forest, alongside Menomaru. A fragment of the Shikon Jewel loosens the lid enough to let Menomaru out, while Tessaiga is required to break the seal.
40	* ShoutOut: At the beginning, Kagome is wearing the same "Piyo Piyo" apron Kyoko wears on ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'', another [[Creator/RumikoTakahashi Takahashi's]] series.
41	* SmugSuper: Menōmaru, unlike most other members of Inuyasha's RoguesGallery, has no desire to use the Shikon Jewel to enhance his powers because he believes he's already so powerful that he doesn't need it.
42	* StockWushuWeapons: BigBad Menomaru and his minions hail from China. To convey this, they all wield traditional weapons (Menomaru has a jian, Ruri a tasseled spear and Hari has dual dao).
43	* ThemeNaming: The "Meno" from Menomaru mean "Agathe", while Hari and Ruri means "Crystal" and "Lapislazuli" instead.
44	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: During the climax of the film, Kikyo forces Kagome back to her own time, with the Bone Eater's Well sealing itself behind her. Kagome gets back by using a sacred arrow to blast through said seal.
45	* WolverineClaws: Kagome develops LaserBlade claws while being controlled by Menōmaru.
