"Inuyasha" - Season 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Kikyo

The first scene of episode 1 we see Inuyasha breaking into the shrine to steal the sacred jewel. He is escaping when Kikyo shoots an arrow at him, pinning him to a tree. Throughout the season you see many re-runs of the past. Inuyasha is claiming that Kikyo betrayed him while Kikyo claims that Inuyasha betrayed her. You find out that Naraku had been impersonating both Inuyasha and Kikyo to come between them and steal the sacred jewel for himself.

Answer: It is human with a jewel shard

Naraku provides Sesshomaru with a human arm that has a jewel shard embedded in it. The reason Sesshomaru accepts the human arm is that it will allow him to wield the Tetsusaiga, since it allows itself to only be wielded by a human. The arm allows Sesshomaru to steal the Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha and successfully use it against him.

Answer: Avenge his father's death

Shippo first appears to Inuyasha and Kagome threatening to kill him if he doesn't hand over the jewel shards. Of course, Shippo is in the form of a huge pink bubble and Inuyasha is not in the least bit threatened. Shippo then goes on to explain about the thunder brothers and how they killed his father and he needs the jewel shards so he can avenge his father's death.

He is not strong enough otherwise.

Answer: He took her jewel shards

Inuyasha knows how powerful Sesshomaru and Naraku can be and knows how dangerous it will become. After revealing to Kagome how worried he is about her safety, he hugs her and then pushes her down the well, but not before taking her jewel shards so she can't get back.

Answer: Noh

This is the first demon battle we see in Kagome's time. The Noh mask attacks her grandfather, but no one believes him when he tries to explain what exactly happened. Kagome sees it attacking and realizes that it's after the shards. While trying to lure it away from people, she sends her little brother, Souta, back to the well to try and bring Inuyasha to help, but Inuyasha was already on his way.

Answer: The night of the new moon

Inuyasha's hair turns black and his demon powers disappear on the night of the start of a new cycle in the moon. When we first see this happen it is quite unfortunate, because many spider heads decide to attack that night, just when Inuyasha would need his powers the most. However dawn comes just in time and his powers return.

Answer: Onigumo

Kikyo had a soft heart and found a highly burned and injured human thief wrapped in bandages suffering in a cave. She graciously cared for him, but eventually Onigumo called upon many demons and they merged into one, thus forming Naraku.

Answer: Kohaku

Sango, Kohaku, and their father, along with the rest of the strongest demon slayers, are called away from their village to take on a spider demon. After killing the spider Kohaku turns on the rest of his people, killing them. Right after he stabs Sango in the back, Naraku takes off his control of the boy and the castle guards are ordered to shoot them.

However, Sango survives and falls into Naraku's trap, believing it was Inuyasha that killed the rest of her village people while they were away.

Answer: For turning him and Kikyo against each other

After learning about Naraku, Inuyasha finally begins to put the pieces together about what actually happened fifty years ago between him and Kikyo. When an evil witch brings Kikyo back to life, Kikyo claims that Inuyasha betrayed her, while Inuyasha claims the opposite. He realized that Naraku had attacked Kikyo disguised as him, while he also attacked Inuyasha disguised as Kikyo.

Answer: Midoriko

Sango joins the gang and she takes them back to her village where the sacred jewel originated and tells the story of Midoriko, a priestess who, supposedly, single-handedly took on many large demons, fighting for seven days and seven nights. Finally, one bit into her and in a last attempt forced the sacred jewel out of a hole in her chest. It is said that the war still wages on inside the jewel.

Kirara lays down in the cave where Midoriko is frozen in time, as if content to be by her side. At the end of the episode you see Midoriko standing on a hill with Kirara at her side.
