The Name Game:

Inuyasha!

(Interactive!)

This came to me late in the night. Don't blame me, blame the spirits that live by the ceiling.

I adore the anime and manga Inuyasha but has anyone else noticed how much the dialogue is simply made of…names? (and one-word syllables.)

If you don't speak Japanese/Name-ish, or don't know the meaning of one-syllable words, that's okay. A translation of the dialogue will be at the end of this chapter.

See if you can figure out the story on your own! Chapters do not relate to episode numbers. GIVE YOURSELF POINTS ON HOW MUCH YOU GET AT THE END!

SPOILERS: if, that is, you have never seen any Inuyasha and/or are a complete bonehead! ;) jk, jk No worries. If you've seen the first twenty eps or read the first seven Inu manga you are FINE.

How much of that did you guess? Give yourself points and see how you rate!

You think the way I do—you know Inuyasha really well. Or maybe you are clairvoyant. Whatever. You are an obsessed freak and/or someone with a good memory. Or good analysis skills. Whatever.

You are pretty close to being an Inuyasha Freak. You can do it!

10-15 Fairly normal person. Which may be good. Or it may not. Or maybe you need to plunk down and watch the eps again.

Wow. Do you have that kind of thing where…are you still reading? Hello? Hello? Damn, already gone.

Or maybe you have no clue what Inuyasha is. Three guesses:

Inuyasha is:

a hunky demon and human mixed breed.

A really hard to pronounce name.

A monkey was told to type 8 letters randomly and came up with that.

Or, last of all, I SUCK!
