Agree... But I still think that they're father was far more ... He was even a very very wise demon. Because everything he knew about his son Sesshomaru, he wanted to have a half demon child... But he didn't really plan to fell in love... That happened. That's why Sesshomaru's mother feels somehow being cheated, but does nothing because she appreciates life in general and by that also the human beings. Both parents being so strong, they just knew that their child will be very strong... So instead of letting him become a huge destructive force, both choose to let him mature and show him that feelings are important. That's why the 3rd sword wasn't meant to be passed on to no one... Their father kept it because he was strong enough, so the sword couldn't take over... But he knew that Sesshomaru without feeling compassion, care for someone... He would destroy the whole world in his hunger for power, unaware of his own doom. That's why Sesshomaru's mother brought back Riu... She saw that her son would give his life to protect someone who is innocent... And that was their whole point. So I'm sure that his father knew that Sesshomaru will be able to accumulate his power into a sword one day... The sword maker also said it " so soon?!" So he also knew that this day would come. Anyway... It's a great anime about caring, cherish the life, protect your love ones... And of course becoming a responsible adult. It's a great one... And I hope they made a good job with the sequence.
@@afroshinigaminerdzila4264 No it's not!!! He added characters that are not only non-canon but some, especially the so -called 2nd strongest Demon in this discussion were defeated by inuyasha himself. Plus toga is dead. If he(And by extension, you) truly watched the final act, the strongest demons CURRENTLY is: 1. Sesshomaru, 2. Inuyasha, 3. Naraku(Dead), 4. Demon of the shikon no tama(non existent), 5. Moryomaru(Dead), 6. Kanna(Dead), 7. Toga(Dead, LONG dead), 8. Hakudoshi(dead), 9. Kagura( Passed/ Dead) 10. Koga( Married)
Gabriel Hughes I think everyone is aware that he’s a celestial dog demon. Well at least manga readers are. They talk more about their connection with the moon.
Nuraku indeed was just powerful in manipulation. He was basically weak, all he did was put up barriers, steal people's powers and run when he's loosing
I agree! Narakus strength was in his Defense (shields/ recovery) and manipulation. He lacked strength and that is why he got others to do his dirty work.
MsAllanaP honestly I think he actually is powerful in terms of actual power......HOWEVER he is such an utter COWARD that he won’t even play it smart and take them out when the crew was weak, but no instead he’d rather manipulate and act like, I do apologize, a little bitch when it comes to battle despite how much power he wields and how often he’d brag about it, THEN USE IT!!! Sorry about that, I just utterly hate this villain out a lot of anime villains, and it surprised me at how people keep saying oh he’s so powerful and such a great villain.
judeskater93 lol lol I never laughed so hard.. oh you truly don’t like him. I kinda agree with you though . It’s his manipulation that annoys me the most but you have to admit he was a smart wicked villain. Cowardly absolutely yes but smart with it .
Well, Sesshomaru’s mother was some kind of goddess who took care of the makai (hell), and his father Inu no Taisho was a TOP Yuokai. In the Demon’s world someone like Sesshomaru is like royalty. Thats why he rejected to use the Shikon jewel when Kagura offered to him, he knew he was already too OP for that shit. 😏
@@genpri1010 Actually my dude, Inuyasha was looking the shikon jewel to become a full monster, if you watch the two episodes where the story of Inuyasha and Kikyo is told, you’ll see. Inuyasha met Kikyo because she was protecting the jewel. I think is around the 140-150.
sesshomaru also has the best character development of all in the series... he really just walks around the country being more beautiful and powerful than anyone lol
@@gibsonflyingv2820 Highly debatable bud. Even early series Sesshomaru was goddamn tough to kill, and that's counting Tetsusaiga as the great equalizer during his first fight with Inuyasha. Don't forget Tenseiga can protect him from otherwise lethal blows (see Ep. 35 for evidence) just like how Tetsusaiga's sheath protects Inuyasha from an otherwise lethal blow. But as for doing raw damage Menomaru has Sesshomaru outclassed 10 to 1 at that point. As for late series Sesshomaru? Once he gets Bakusaiga, that coupled with Tenseiga would effectively even his odds against even a full power Hyoga. Menomaru would be right to fear getting cut with Bakusaiga no matter which form he takes against Sesshomaru at that point. In fact it would pretty much be impossible to declare a winner early on...
@@cameraredeye3115 It's really not difficult to prove if you've truly versed yourself in the series lore. There are, at different points in the series characters who would have killed sesshomaru if not for plot armor like Inuyasha saving him and suddenly devoloping weapons with zero explanation whatsoever. The baksaiga is quite literally the definition of plot armor, if not for this sudden ability based on nothing to create a necrotizing weapon, magatsuhi had defeated him and he would have died. In fact in terms of base skill magatsuhi out performed him in that entire battle. He couldn't even break narakus barriers late in the series without Inuyasha learning the adamant barrage. The same thing happened later, due to sesshomaru's overconfidence naraku had outsmarted sesshomaru and would have devoured him by absorption if not for Inuyasha slicing narakus arm off which freed sesshomaru. Most who parrot the "sesshomaru is unbeatable meme" have not even watched this entire long series let alone read in depth the lore. If you watch the entire show, its easy to see he's not invincible. Frankly kirinmaru has proven to be a more skilled fighter in the new series as well despite not having any plot armor. Menomaru is also an example of a powerful skilled warrior whose power didnt come from demon energy but actual martial arts, he was the only one who was able to block the wind scar with pure skill, something sesshomaru could never hope to achieve.
@@cameraredeye3115 Do you really believe Naraku could absorb Sesshomaru? I don't, re-watch that episode, Sesshomaru doesn't even look like he is pressed, in his fight with Naraku. When Sesshomaru fights the evil spirit of the Shikon Jewel you could clearly see Sesshomaru was being bested. In the Naraku confrontation, Naraku wants to absorb Sesshomaru, that doesn't necessarily mean he could handle absorbing Sesshomaru.
Yeah Naraku's powers are centered around manipulation, deception, and persuasion. His primary attacks are usually redirecting the opponent's energy (wonder where he got that idea from), stabbing or restraining with various parts of his body, and committing war crimes with his miasma. These aren't bad attacks imo, but pretty basic. His real power is the fact that he's so damn hard to kill that Marvel and DC villains call bullshit on his plot armor XD
Agree. In addition, I always saw Sesshomaru as the real hero of the series who needed to be made to learn compassion and love like his father. This is achieved through interactions with Inuyasha, Kagome, Jakken and Rin. Once he learns to love and protect others, Bakusaiga manifests itself.
Henceforth the very thing his father Inu Taisho had asked Sesshomaru before his ultimate demise... “ Sesshomaru, do you have someone to protect?” Protecting someone makes you dig deep and become Stronger! inusyasha3rd movie
@@michaelcortez6596 And it really got going once he realized how much he cared about Kagura, since that's what prompted Totosai to bring Meido out of Tenseiga.
I absolutely hate that in the Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon series, they made have a romantic relationship and have children. Sesshomaru essentially adopting this human orphan and having this whole arc was one of my favorite things about Inuyasha. Them ending up as a couple totally creeps me out. Once I found that out about Yashahime, I couldn’t watch that series. I am trying to forget it exists.
Fun fact: in movie 3 sesshomaru dragon strike attack over powered inuyasha blacklash wave. Which suggests that the black lash wave can be overcome if one applies and keep applying enough power in their attack.
That's a good point; especially since most of these bosses have been beaten by Backlash Wave (with the help others at times) the fact that Sesshouaru can overpower it. What a legend
Count the number of times anyone was afraid of inuyasha’s presence compared to even the thought of being in sesshomaru’s says enough about the difference between the two and why sesshomaru is number #1
I swear it's like no one talks about this. Literally every demon that sees Sesshomaru tries to escape. They don't even try to act brave about it either they just do enough to survive lol.
@@timorcohen4641 Koga wasn't stupid enough to try and pick a fight with Sesshomaru despite then meeting up a few times. As for the Band of Seven, they were 100% human even after being revived by the Shikon Jewel -- and a true menace to society in both of their lives.
It's worth noting that twice, once in the Anime and once in the third movie, Sesshomaru completely dominates InuYasha during a fight due to being angry enough to fight in earnest. In the Anime example, he even outright says he won't be going as easy on him as he had been.
inuyasha has never seriously fought against sesshomaru, if inuyasha fights in his 100% demon form and using tessaiga you can be sure that sesshomaru will suffer. I don't think inuyasha will win, after all he is the younger brother and even if he uses all his power as a demon it is possible that he is slightly below sesshomaru's level, but he would make sesshomaru sweat and bleed, you can be sure of that. Inuyasha may be a hanyou but in terms of skills he is on a par with daiyoukai's.
@@lorddemon8019 His first encounter is probably the closest to that, when he thought Kagome was dead. He became fast enough to damage some of Sesshomaru’s armor, but Sesshomaru didn’t seem concerned.
He always says stuff like that. But if he actually was going easy, why did he not only got defeated many times, but actually lost an arm? InuYasha doesn't have that as many powers, sure, but his human drive to go on makes him win against most foes, no matter how powerful. Aaaaaand in DnD, we learn that one OP monster that fights alone is just meat for a party. InuYasha is willing to team up, while Sesshoumaru is not. So, I guess that if they would face off, now that Sesshoumaru has the bakkusaiga, InuYasha would go for teamwork rather than "this is between me and him". Also, Sesshoumaru is only the most powerful dude because of his sword, as he doesn't have nearly the same amount of abilities as many of the yokais presented. Take that (or any sword) away, and he is back at clawing at his foes like any dog demon, as shown a few times in the anime.
@@mikeyy2s Pretty much, Magatsuhi was probably the one genuine struggle for Sesshomaru and that's because claws and poison are useless against someone with part of Naraku's body who just regenerates.
I think the fact he doesn't use his dog form much shows just how powerful he is. I'm sure his father's biggest strength was his true form as it gave him an immense size and such but Sesshomaru's biggest feats were all in his pretty boy form...
@@Post-2-True you can’t really compare the two of them though because Inuyasha can’t control his demon form while Sesshoumaru has full control over his dog demon form.
Naraku... You do not need to be the strongest to be the most dangerous or the most annoying. Trying to kill him took forever and even then you had doubts if he wouldn't come back to life.
one of the things i find the best about sesshomaru’s strength is that since he has the tenseiga and the bakusaiga is that he can fight physical things/ppl/demons and non physical things like magatsuhi’s spirit and things in the underworld.
Yeah, if Sesshomaru got over his daddy issues quicker he would have killed him. When he did get over it Naraku had to use Rin to keep Sesshomaru from just killing him outright, though in the end Sesshomaru did pretty much solo the guy.
He needed to grow up and learn to protect the ones he cared about. Which his father have asked him before he met his demise. Once he has established that bakusaiga appeared making him surpass his own father.
He couldn’t kill him period. Only a unique combo of crazily powerful fighters could finally end naraku. A fat he seemed to accept quite happily at the end.
i definitely find sesshomaru the strongest character in the show. even with one arm and no weapon he can still kill demons easily. and i definitely wouldnt put naraku very high up. because without the shikon jewel (which i count as “cheating” on their strength), he’s about as strong as koga without a weapon. he’s more strong in intellectual and strategic ways. but some of his incarnations like kanna and moriomoru are stronger than him. i think i would put magatsuhi (if he counts as a demon) up higher though.
You say that, but Naraku only used the jewel to create incarnations. He only absorbed the jewel into his body for strength at the very final battle. All hisfighting before that was his own power.
Magatsuhi is not of this world so he isn't really a demon. Does only Sesshumaru can really defeat him as he weilds a sword that is also not of this world. But yeah, he is really strong.
Depends a lot on the definition of strong. If you only include strenght in battle then yeah, Sesshomaru at the end and mainly Bakusaiga beats them all. But if you include intelligence then Naraku is clearly #1 imo. He comes up with genius plans all the time, alone at his first appearance where he came up with the idea of letting Sesshomaru use a human arm to control Tetsusaiga. Also he is pretty much unkillable like Voldemort, saving parts of him externally and regularly improves his barriers to be even undamageable. And yes he doesnt fight often but when he does, the protagonists are always put in fatal danger, most of the time some of them barely get away alive while poisoned from Saimyosho, Miasma, etc. Also his Barrier post Mt. Hakurei could even deflect the Backlash wave which almost killed all protagonists and which, throughout most of the show would have killed Sesshomaru as well(they just didnt let it happen until he got stronger). So depending on the point of view, Naraku can be number 1 as well.
Yeah an incomplete dragon strike was stronger than backlash wave (tokijin wore out unable to deal a complete dragon strike). He then says it's a normal demon fang after all. I don't remember the dialogues exactly though.
Actually, if he DESTROYED the move, it would have destroyed the sword. He didn't DESTROY it. He created a power that equalled it, and that was at the extent of Tokijin's Power. If the fight and will between the brothers had continued, it's likely Sesshomaru's sword would have been shattered, if Sesshomaru wasn't killed. As it was, in Swords of an Honorable Ruler, the incomplete/weakened Dragon Strike NEUTRALIZED the Backlash Wave, and even then, because Inuyasha didn't want to kill Sesshomaru. He had been trying to convince his brother to work with him to stop Sounga. And let's not forget that Sesshomaru always coveted both Tetsusaiga (English dub spelling, deal with it Subbers) and Sounga. He wasn't left the swords because of his answer to their father's question before Toga went to rescue Izayoi and Inuyasha on the night Inuyasha was born: "Have you someone to protect?" Because of his answer, his inheritance was the Tenseiga instead: to teach him compassion.
@@mandyrobbins1041 Inuyasha would have known Tenseiga would have protected Sesshoumaru from any fatal damage as he had already bore witness to this once before. It doesn't seem like he can dial the strength of the Backlash Wave up or down, it is all or nothing. We do see him trying to throw multiples of it and even combining it with the Adamant Barrage, but I don't think Inuyasha has either the capability or inclination to hold it back. Also his surprise at Sesshoumaru's ability to outright overcome the Backlash Wave surprised him. If he could have done better, he would have thrown out a better one, but he didn't and knew he had to take that L. That said, if Inuyasha had been in any condition to fight after eating Sesshoumaru's Azure Dragon Strike, Seshsoumaru would not be able to muster another for at least some time.
@@MA16v3 the backslash wave uses its opponent power with the wind scar so if iam not wrong its at its strongest when he uses it on his opponent attack using the backslash wave on the demon energy of a yokai is much much weaker so an incomplete backslash wave vs an incomplete dragon strike seshomaru sword couldent handle it meaning the backslash wave was a little bit stronger
Touga was an absolute chad. I'm not sure Sesshomaru surpasses him. I mean how many of Touga's "rivals" was he not able to kill or just sorta decided not to? Aside from the movies we know basically nothing about his personality, and this is one of those cases where knowing what he was like as a person heavily changes what we can guess about his power. There are a lot of unanswered questions about Inuyasha's family. Honestly I'd like a spin off or short series about his father and the time before Inuyasha's birth.
Yes, Sesshomaru did surpass him, it's literally said in the manga. Sesshomaru not wanting to kill Toga's 'rivals' doesn't really mean much since he doesn't really do much of anything he doesn't want to do unless he gets offended like with Naraku.
I agree with this list but switching Kaguya and Menomaru’s position makes most sense to me. She should be the third not fifth. He would definitely not hold a candle to her in a fight, she would never take her foot off his neck. Princess Kaguya is an immortal half goddess and demoness that controls nature, illusions, absorbs anything, can stop TIME, and uses the Mirror of Life that comes with a plethora of powerful abilities. No sir lmfaooo she would break him down like he’s a fuckin Toy from Andy’s toy box.
Yeah i agree too but realistically, Inuyasha should be second. 1.His father was long dead before the series began. 2. He defeated BOTH Menomaru and Kaguya(no matter how you splice it). And 3. Many fans including AxelBeats himself(And haters), Admitted that while Inuyasha never surpassed his father, He does come close to doing so. Which means he's on his dad's level of power or Very close to it which is awesome. But This video is his opinion on who's the strongest in Inuyasha( Well except the 3rd point.).
I feel like Kaguya was wasted on that movie. Her design is stunning and she was really interesting imo. She should have just had her plan shut down with the gang escaping her castle, sealing her back in her own dimension or whatever it was (back on the moon??)
Imagine Yura of the Hair partnering with Naraku. Basically they could constantly send wave after wave of hair and demons at Inuyasha's group until they succumbed to battle fatigue or died.
Naraku is one of the best villains in anime ever cause you just tend to hate him so damn much for basically causing everything wrong in the story ! But he never was strong what made him so powerful was his ability to be able to adjust to his situations and able to control who he saw fit and best for him bur worst for his enemies the ability to manipulate!
Not to mention while Inuyasha had to use backlash wave was needed to kill Ryūkotsusei who was a comparable demon to his father, Sesshoumaru has been shown to overpower the backlash wave itself with Tokijin in movie 3
To be fair he kinda cranked up Tokijin into overdrive to do that (the evidence being that it was completely out of juice and needed to recharge afterwards). If he had Sounga he could do it with no effort.
Sesshomaru-sama is my favorite anime character ❤❤❤❤ would love a video all about Sesshomaru. And if you could also include what we know about his past and age.... that would be AWESOME 😆😆😆
Calling it now: Bankotsu of the Band of Seven is in the Top 5, if not Top 3. The dude slew 1000 humans and 1000 demons to make his Banryu powerful enough to force a Backlash Wave out of Inuyasha. Not to mention his hand-to-hand combat skills are good enough to give Inuyasha a run for his money.
You forget tho, that after Tessaiga was bitten through, that Totosai said that InuYasha was relying on his *father's* strength to help defeat his enemies. That's the whole reason he needed to defeat the big, dragon demon; so that he can start relying on *his own* strength. I'm not saying he should have made #1, but I feel inuyasha should have made #2 at least. That's just my opinion tho
I feel like it was very poor writing to have Inuyasha be able to beat a rival of his fathers who practically killed him just so he could sink a single fang into him. The backlash wave in itself was a poor decision imo. The demons should just be able to absorb their own power back and render the move useless, meaning it shouldn’t be a move at all. Kagome should be the only one of the group to pierce through barriers, it would make her an irreplaceable member for Inuyasha to have. Some of these characters and skills were too op. Miroku’s wind tunnel constantly being negated by bees was another example of a skill not well thought out.
@@Tearituplikewasabi That's the whole point. Inuyasha had no chance against Ryukotsusei without the Backlash Wave. Either he learned how to use it, or he simply died. Basically the Backlash Wave is the enemy's own attack amplified by a Wind Scar. But it can only be used against enemies who are substantially more powerful than Inuyasha. Someone like Hyoga or Sesshomaru (who are god tier yokai) can overpower it with sheer force alone; that's why he had Kagome help out with her arrow against Hyoga in Movie 1, and also why Sesshomaru defeated the Backlash Wave with a Dragon Strike in Movie 3.
Sesshomaru is indeed the strongest and the smartest, now in Yashahime, he achieved the title of the great demon and he become like his father in that timeline and generation.
I completely agree with your placements. I liked that u included the movie villians. Sesshomaru is also totallly my number 1 choice. I was hopeing he was number 1 from the start❤
Lord Hyoga/Menomaru was such a cool demon with a very interesting backstory. Would’ve liked to see or hear about him in the main series from time to time
Saves the Demons: Flynn Crump is shinigami, Lilith is yokai demon, Lucifer Magne is fallen angel, Alastor is radio wendigo demon, Stolas is owl demon, Loona is hellhound, Lucifer is demon CEO, Lilit Shiningone is yokai vampire, La Cartina is goddess of sugar skull, Nailah is Egyptian demon plague, Kaguya is daiyokai fairy, Mephietopheles is otaku demon, Fireplace Demon is Hell demon, Valentino is love butterfly sinner, Death is sinner of death, La Muerte is yokai goddess of sugar skull love, Xibalba is god of death forgotten, Moundshroud is demon vampire, Sophie is succubus, Karakasa is possessor, Fizz is sinner, Malphas is crow demon, Bael is spider demon, Stellas' Frozen Brother is ice bird demon, Blitzo is imp, Sir Pentious is snake demon, Serpent is demon serpent, Kitsune is fox demon.
Even though Sesshomaru may be a strongest demon as number 1 on this list, he's kind of like a father figure-ish to Rin who travels with him and Jaken. And that's due to someone to protect as he got that from his father even though he still thinks humans are not important or weak. I should also note that "someone to protect" is actually his father's exact words. But later on his true nature-like caring side comes through when caring or showing a bit of emotion to Rin especially when during the Final Act with Kohaku joins up with him to help his group when Sesshomaru goes off to take care of business. This is to show that you never judge a book by it's cover unless you know the real truth. And when it comes to strongest demons, he's definitely my favorite.
I think some notable exceptions were missed here such as Shishinki , panther king , taigukumaru, the panther deva Toran, etc The panther king was able to defeat Inuyasha and Sesshomaru combined, and the panther deva Toran battled into a stalemate with Sesshomaru. Shishinki went toe to toe with both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and It took their combined effort to send him to hell. Taigukumaru the bat king demon had the barrier which wind scar and backlash wave couldn’t penetrate. In my opinion these 4 Daiyokai were definitely more powerful than Mōryōmaru and Naraku.
Shishinki maybe, but the Panther King was only so strong because he was undead, one swing from Tensaiga killed him easily. And Taigukumaru did have a strong barrier, but the red Tessaiga absoebed it's power and Naraku later had a barrier that the red Tessaiga couldn't cut. So after Mt. Hakurei Naraku was stronger than him, Moryomaru in turn got even stronger than Naraku, which is why Naraku absorbed him.

if only they showed more scenes where sesshomaru uses his bakusaiga. just think inuyasha and tetsaiga vs sesshomaru and bakusaiga. it’d either be a tie or sesshomaru would win.
a tie ? NEVER. I mean Sesshomaru's NATURAL powers surpasses those of Inuyusha and bakusaiga is also stronger than Tenseiga ... there is no way in hell Inuyusha would survive that, Im actually happy that Sesshomaru never got in fight with his otoutou after he got the extra power.
Sesshomaru is better at battle tactics, more durable less hot headed. He would win every fight if not for plot or his pride. In the end,he would take inu seriously and dealy with him the right way from the beginning.
No the backslash is a hack attack seshomaru strongest attack plus the wind scar against him anleast inuyasha will use seshomaru yokai energy for the backslash wave insted of his attack and it would be very stupid
@@adam-dn3hi The wind scar is nothing compared to Sess's attack we already saw that in the last fight with Naraku , while Inuyusha's attacks were almost useless Sess killed him without effort.
A lot of the demons from earlier on in the series are really tough to rank, because we don't know how they would fare against a Meido or Bakusaiga. The only one who holds up is Ryukotsusei because he fought Toga in his prime and basically killed him. Also, this list was obviously made before Yashahime, but I wonder where Kirinmaru would rank
Axelbeats, I know this is your list for the strongest demons of Inuyasha, and I do find your reasoning acceptable, but there are some things I don't agree with: 1. This is the biggest problem that I feel needs to be brought up first. Inuyasha does not win most of his fights with Sesshomaru. If you actually rewatch all of their fights, including their fight in the 3rd Inuyasha movie, you would notice that Inuyasha only has 2 legitimate wins against Sesshomaru, both times were due to luck. Inuyasha has only always prevented Sesshomaru from stealing Tetsaiga. Sesshomaru has always beaten Inuyasha when they both are unarmed, has defeated Inuyasha before he learned how to use the windscar when he himself was unarmed, and has pretty much defeated Inuyasha in every battle he had the sword tokijin. Even their last known battle, which was inconclusive, was more of a test to see if Inuyasha was the true heir to Tetsaiga. 2. While the 4 war gods in their true form was powerful but I am not convinced that they were stronger than ryukotsusei. 3. Inuyasha in all but the third movie tends to overpower and/or defeat the movie villains by combining his backlash wave with Kagome's sacred arrows. 4. I think you underestimated Naraku's power a bit, since before he completed the shikon jewel, he was able to put up a barrier powerful enough to block the backlash wave. 5. Inuyasha has great power without Tetsaiga due to the demon blood he inherited from his father, his full demon form is also very powerful, and after his Tetsaiga was reforged using one of his fangs it became an extension of Inuyasha's strength. 6. I think you overestimate Kaguya's strength. She may have had formidable abilities but she was defeated originally by Miroku's grandfather before Inuyasha and his friends beat her. 7. I think that Toga should have been ranked 1st or 2nd place in terms of power. 8. It's debatable whether or not Sesshomaru truly surpassed his father in power, but it is possible when Sesshomaru gained Bakusaiga that he did. For the record, you made a great list of the most powerful demons of Inuyasha, and aside from these nitpicks I mostly agree with it.
I agree with most of your points, but there is a factor that isn't discussed in the entirety of the video and power scale; demonic energy/aura/power in general. I bring this up because, arguably, ryukotsusei was the strongest demon that Toga ever faced only being able to seal him away and get mortally wounded by him, everyone else as powerful as they were was never able to seriously injure him aside from that dragon. Presumably speaking, all of Toga's enemies were too powerful for the Backlash wave technique to work against, leading to him having to combat them by main strength. The panther king and the dragon we can say this factor held weight to for sure, were as with the moth demon and the story around their battle, we can say he was able to use the backlash wave against, this makes the other two enemies he faced arguably stronger in terms of demonic power given that the backlash wave technique can only work if the enemy is of equivalent power to the sword's wielder as stated by Totosi and the official books. This factor is what arguably proves that Inuyasha may not have surpassed his father in terms of physical strength but the strength of literal demonic power proven in the battle with Ryukotsusei. This factor arguably makes Inuyasha the 2nd or 3rd placer given that moth demon had absorb his ancestor's energy that Toga sealed away in order to be as high as he was ranked, and Toga given that Inuyasha was able to defeat the one real demon that was actually of equivalent to greater power than his dad, aside from his brother. We can debate wether or not Sesshomaru is stronger then Toga given that both of them could easily slaughter thousands of enemies in a single go if they chose to, and the fact that Sesshomaru was only said to surpass Toga by forging the Bakusaiga from his own energy and body rather than needing his sword made for him like Toga. So we could easily say that they are both equally powerful in demonic power, with maybe Toga being the physically stronger of the two given he's the size of an arguable mountain.
@@ethanknight3970 you make good points, and while Inuyasha did defeat Ryukotsusei with the backlash wave, it was stated in the third movie by totosai that Toga was 1000 stronger than Inuyasha, which is supported by the fact that Inuyasha was unable to stop himself from being possessed by sounga while Toga never let sounga control him.
@@StareachValcin you do have a point on the sounga, it is always stated that Toga is stronger than Inuyasha, however it is never said how he is stronger than Inuyasha that tips the scale here. given that the movies are not really canon to the series, one can argue that it still proves Inuyasha to be stronger than his dad in the terms of demonic energy, just not physical. Physical as in scientific make up; given that Toga was a full blood and incredibly powerful demon, where as Inuyasha is also incredibly powerful yet is still only half-demon, this factor accounts that Toga could physically "handle" the sword's power where Inuyasha's half-demon make up couldn't physically handle the power load the sword possessed, leading to him being easier to possess where if Inuyasha was a full blooded demon he probably could have and would have succeeded in bringing sounga under his control, given how stubborn a mule he happened to be, something he most likely inherited from none other than Toga himself, and in a way he would be equivalent to Toga in physical power terms as something of a copy of Toga given both their similarities, and how Inuyasha was able to do what Toga could not, Slay the Dragon.
@@ethanknight3970 fair point, but I do believe that the movies are canon to the series since they don't really contradict anything that happened in the series. In fact, the Inuyasha movies do fit well in the series, especially movie 3, which actually expands on Toga and his relationships with his sons, Inuyasha's mother Izayoi. Not to mention that the movie reveals that Inuyasha is 200 years old by the time he met Kagome. Also, you have to factor in for a time Inuyasha's demon blood, which he inherited from his father was too strong for him to handle and would have inevitably devoured his soul if he hadn't mastered Tetsaiga. Plus I am not entirely convinced that Inuyasha could overpower the sounga if he were a full demon, but that's a moot point since we're discussing Inuyasha's strength as a half demon. There's also too much evidence that suggests that Inuyasha is still weaker than his father power wise, such as when totosai brought up that Tetsaiga is powerful enough to absorb demonic energy but Inuyasha couldn't handle that much energy. Also, Sesshomaru with tokijin has bested Inuyasha after he mastered Tetsaiga, and this was before Sesshomaru officially "surpassed" their father. Inuyasha may be powerful with Tetsaiga, and he did legitimately defeat ryukotsusei when his father failed to do so, but with statements made in the series and movies, I don't think that Inuyasha was more powerful than his father Toga. If anything, Inuyasha found his own strength and doesn't need the power of his father to protect himself.
@@StareachValcin very true on many points made; it is also a question as to wether or not sesshomaru himself could actually control the sword too, we will never know as he never tried to use it; as such, going by how Inuyasha responded with the sword, the idea of him being able to conquer Sounga is both a probable and non probable achievement if he were a full-blood demon. It just goes to say if he were a full-blood demon like sesshomaru, the end result could go either way as stated by totosi as well, given that he believed that the only demon who stood a chance of controlling the sword was sesshomaru. And as stated before and strictly speaking, as Inuyasha is as a half-demon, in terms of physical power his dad does have him beat as a full-blooded demon, and it would be hard to compete with a demon the size of an arguable mountain. We can only really presume, that if Inuyasha was born a full-blood, he would be much more comparable to sesshomaru in the realm of physical capabilities being at least 10 times stronger, faster, more durable, and at least 10 times more powerful in terms of demonic energy than he already is, otherwise as he currently is he stacks up equally to if not a little better than Koga in terms of physical capabilities, which is arguably pretty well-off given that Koga can handle pretty much any enemy he faces aside from sesshomaru, being that sesshomaru is a great demon were Koga is more of a middle level demon, of which still doesn't stand much of a chance against a demon like sesshomaru to begin with and Inuyasha may not hold his own well against Sesshomaru, he does hold his own better than most everyone else that has ever faced sesshomaru in the entirety of the series, and you can't quite imagine, or at least I can't imagine, Koga still standing after taking an arm through the gut like Inuyasha did that one time against non other than sesshomaru. When Inuyasha found his own strength, and didn't need his dad's to protect him anymore, he proved that his own power was greater than his dad's when he defeated the dragon his dad could not defeat, this in turn is the point that proves Inuyasha is more "powerful" than his dad in demonic energy terms rather than physical strength, which is the main point I've been stressing.
My personal favorite amongst really strong demons in the series was Ryokotsusei. He was sure badass and really strong. I also like the fact the he didn't didn't mock Inuyasha for being a half demon. Either he didn't know or just didn't give a f*ck. It was also cool when he attacked Naraku's spying puppet. He was also the main reason why Toga died so yeah.. there you go...
Ehh, Sesshoumaru is the only demon in the entire series to meet the Backlash Wave head on and through only rage and brute force overcome it and with an objectively inferior weapon. Once he acquires Bakusaiga, it isn't a contest. The Backlash Wave would either fail to form(due to either the immense difference in power being projected or due to the properties of the Bakusaiga) or if it did form, would dissolve instantly.
Goshinki was way too strong to be allowed to keep alive. That beast smoked Inuyasha and was about to eat his entire squad alive; his biggest mistake was starting with Kagome. That forced Inuyasha to go full demon to take him out.
You severely undervalued Naraku in this. The guy had mastered the jewel, to the point that he was able to create new shards on his own. His miasma was so strong, that he was able to fabricate new jewel shards out of it. His curses were so strong, that he was able to injure Sesshomaru. Hell, even Kikyo WITH Midoriko's power acknowledged they weren't collectively strong enough to keep Naraku at bay. A lot of people see Naraku getting cut up in the show and take it as a sign of weakness, but no one realizes that he was just testing his body over and over again. Whenever he got into a fight and part of his was cut off? He saw that as weakness and got rid of the fragile bits of his body. His goal wasn't to come out and be immediately strong, it was to assimilate over time and grow gradually. We see it in both the anime and the manga. Let's also not forget that Naraku had the ability to cheat death, not only with himself but with others. He had help resurrecting Kikyo, and he learned how to do it on his own ... Being able to bring back people like the Band of Seven. His power was great enough to melt the claw of Toga-o, which means his miasma was at a power that could've melted the Great Dog General. The reason Naraku lost to InuYasha? Plot Armor, it's a wonderful thing.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I started watching because of your Inuyasha videos. I just want to say that it seems like you put a lot of effort into your content. Thank you for your hard work. Great video.
I can see why you placed Sesshoumaru as the strongest yokai in this series. This is mostly attributed to not only his physical strength and overall stamina, but also his psychological strength. He was never seduced by the amazing offers of what the Shikon Jewel had to offer, as he relied on his own skill. Moreover, Sesshoumaru is a conscientious, focused, and accurate combatant, so no one can break him or shake him even if they tried, thus being one step further above his opponents. In Inuyasha's defense, he does bear super strength, super stamina, and super speed, which are the traits I have always admired about Inuyasha when I was an 11-year-old boy. Even without his Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha does prove himself to be an extremely capable fighter, especially when he has punches that can overpower anyone or anything. Moreover, I have been completely fascinated by his full yokai form at that young of an age, which was why in my AU headcanon, he would transform into his full yokai form whenever he gets savagely beaten down and use his claws, strength, and fangs to bring his foes down. One character I believe is just as strong but not really at the level of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha is Ayame the female Northern Yoro yokai warrior princess. Yes, she only appeared in a grand total of four episodes. However, the mere fact that she has super speed, endurance, and fantastic combat prowess does make her a force to be reckoned with. Shipping-wise, I am also a huge Sesshoumaru x Ayame and Inuyasha x Ayame shipper, which explains my passion for Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame.
@@saklee1777 Good question and here's my answer. Ayame trained the natural way ever since she was a child and she has been trying to get better at it as time went on. Whereas Koga mainly used the Shikon Jewel shards to accelerate his speed and strength without fully relying on his own strength. Keep in mind that when Naraku stripped him of his Shikon Jewel shards in Inuyasha: The Final Act, he just up and left because he was weak without them and did not avenge the death of his comrades.
Sesshomaru is the goodest boy. also I haven't watched this series in years but I'm so excited to experience it all over again if I can get my hands on it
Kyora, the war god Sesshomaru's killed, was male. Also, Inuyasha defeated them with a new technique, the Adamant Backlash Wave. The Adamant technique can be used in conjunction with the Wind Scar or Backlash Wave. In terms of raw strength, Inuyasha is about the equivalent to one of Sesshomaru's arms, according to Rumiko Takahashi. But when he uses his full demon power, he is equal to, or a bit stronger than him. To the point that he made Sesshomaru, (the damn near emotionless and stoic daiyoukai) tremble in fear briefly. Sesshomaru isn't used to sensing power that rivals him
I have to admit I was very upset as we got closer to number one and Sesshomaru was nowhere on this list... My heart skipped a beat when I got there. I personally agree. There have been many hints throughout the series that Sesshomaru would take his fathers place and be one of the most powerful demons to exist.
I think Inuyasha is underated in term of power, I mean there is a huuuuuuge change between Inuyasha in ep 1 and Inuyasha in the Final Act and he's half a demon not a full one. Plus as opposed to other characters I think he has more place to grow stronger. His sword can be the most powerful if he just relax lol. the guy is hot headed
I know you’re saying naraku isn’t all that powerful but what you’re missing is he has the power to split off and create others from himself (effectively probably nerfing himself and showing how much demonic power he has to do it.. also being able to create a barrier very strong shows incredible AP. I doubt the war gods could kill him.
I agree Sesshoumaru should be number 1. Once he lost interest in iniyashas sword and recieved his own totosai states he has finally surpassed his fathers teachings. Also when inuyasha finally uses the windscar on Sesshoumaru early on his own weapon saves him again making torosai state how do you kill someone who in unable to be killed. He senses Inuyasha in his demon form and could easily kill him but instead tells Kagome how to make Inuyasha normal. He is the one to truly destroy Naraku. There are so many examples but aside from his first real fight where he loses his arm to Inuyasha and underestimates the fact Inuyasha can use the tensagia he is very OP. Naraku would not be so powerful without the jewel. When offerred a piece Sesshoumaru rejects it. If he had shikon shards the guy would be unstoppable.
The best thing about the show was the evolution of Sesshomaru, he eventually managed to surpass his dad the great dog demon, regenerate his hand and literally create out of nowhere something that might be the most powerful weapon in the entire series...
Menomaru appears very early in the series so beating the hell out of Inuyasha is no big deal back then, so I won't consider him super strong on his own. His father was killed by Inuyasha's father, but Inuyasha's father was fine after the battle so Menomaru's father is strong but not that strong. Now adding Menomaru's power on top of his father power, at most he gets close to Inuyasha's father but no way surpassing him. Windscar is a skill that cut the line between two aura, Inuyasha later can use it whenever he wants but it must still has something to do with the aura, the fact that Inuyasha can't use it against Menomaru is because he is too weak, that's all. Let's compare Inuyasha's windscar and Sesshomaru's windscar, Inuyasha's windscar can plow some dozens meters, Sesshomaru's windscar goes through a freaking moutain (I'm talking about the time when he has the human's arm given by Naraku). So there is a huge difference when different people using the same technique. If you use Inuyasha as a reference, it may not be accurate. You rank Ryukotsusei below Menomaru but you have to understand he was seal for hundreds of years already before fighting with Inuyasha, he is not at his peak. At his peak he can almost kill Inuyasha's father, the one who has the three sword of heaven, earth, and hell. As explained above, Menomaru is not that strong even with his father's power. So I say Ryukotsusei is stronger than Menomaru. You seem to rely on Inuyasha's backlash wave a lot, but you forget a lot of time Inuyasha uses it with the biggest bug in the series, Kagome's sacred arrow (Kikyou's arrow is even more powerful). This sacred arrow to demon is like Krytonite to Superman. It can goes through all demonic barrier and reduces the strongest demon's defense to zero. So using something like that to rank how strong a demon is, not fair at all.
without the sacred arrow to destroy the central point of his power, the forehead, menomaru, would have stopped bakuryuha. ryukotsusei could not stop bakuryuha
plot twist, Sounga, the third sword, is actually the sword that Wei Wuxian ended up using to cultivate the Stygian Tiger Seal and that's why it can control hoardes of zombies
I wish they made a movie covering kirinmaru because they met all the other youkai the rules the different lands. Its weird they would bring up kirinmaru only in the sequel instead of in the original series but I get it because they needed a "villian" even though he might not be the real villian
What if I told you, that Tokijin was not creating the lightning attacks, in reality the lightning attacks were the same as his daughter's, his own power channeled through Tokjin. Tokijin was a medium to channel and pinpoint his own power through, this is also the reason Tokijin got fried when he unleashed too much power through it. Now I admit this may be a bit of a retcon with Yashahime so dunno if it was out by sept 7 2020.
Honestly i would have been 20x times more excited to see an Inuyasha prequal favouring 1 Toga's exploits 2. How Sesshomaru got so strong and his youth and 3.Inuyasha's childhood perhaps but i know that part would have been tricky. There would have been alot more room for action that the old fans could relate to and solve some of the intriguing bits about their past.
Before the video: If Sesshomaru isn’t on the top 3, I hate this list. Sesshomaru is #1: YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! YAAASS! That’s my boi!!!!!
Minor thing about Moryomaru; the fire and lightning thing is just in the anime. In the manga, he only had lightning, has he only managed to kill and absorb Kinka. Inuyasha absorbed Ginka, granting him the Flaming Tessaiga. But it's implied Moryomaru discarded Kinka's parts because of the internal resonance happening when the Flaming Tessaiga attacked, damaging Moryomaru from the inside.
Sometimes this show make no sense like inuyasha beat ryokotsei with one sword with 2 move and inotaisho cant defeat ryokotsei with three swords and physically 1000x stronger than inuyasha this make no sense
Well, if you watch the fight again, Im sure its stated that Ryokotsei was severly weakened by his fight the Inu no Taisho. So he wasn't at his strongest when fighting Inuyasha
It make no sense because you are unable to see the story complete picture. Take a look at Inu no Taisho (Inu&Sesho father), he even died from a random samurai lords because a grave injuries he had after the battle with ryokotsei. If Inu no Taisho can succumbed to death just like that, of course ryokotsei fate can be doomed too. It basically tell how weakened they are, after they battle against each other.
Now I just want to see all ten of these demons battle it out in a colosseum to see who will reign supreme. I have a feeling Sesshomaru has already slain every demon on this list to be number one. Nice list~!!!
i think Sessh would have been even if not a little higher based on what totosai said, but i 100% agree that i wish he was more flushed out so we knew for sure. Hope you enjoyed the video! :)
Thanks for watching! Remember to Subscribe if you enjoyed! :)
This list was accurate
Agree... But I still think that they're father was far more ... He was even a very very wise demon. Because everything he knew about his son Sesshomaru, he wanted to have a half demon child... But he didn't really plan to fell in love... That happened. That's why Sesshomaru's mother feels somehow being cheated, but does nothing because she appreciates life in general and by that also the human beings. Both parents being so strong, they just knew that their child will be very strong... So instead of letting him become a huge destructive force, both choose to let him mature and show him that feelings are important.
That's why the 3rd sword wasn't meant to be passed on to no one... Their father kept it because he was strong enough, so the sword couldn't take over... But he knew that Sesshomaru without feeling compassion, care for someone... He would destroy the whole world in his hunger for power, unaware of his own doom.
That's why Sesshomaru's mother brought back Riu... She saw that her son would give his life to protect someone who is innocent... And that was their whole point.
So I'm sure that his father knew that Sesshomaru will be able to accumulate his power into a sword one day... The sword maker also said it " so soon?!" So he also knew that this day would come.
Anyway... It's a great anime about caring, cherish the life, protect your love ones... And of course becoming a responsible adult. It's a great one... And I hope they made a good job with the sequence.
@@afroshinigaminerdzila4264 No it's not!!! He added characters that are not only non-canon but some, especially the so -called 2nd strongest Demon in this discussion were defeated by inuyasha himself. Plus toga is dead. If he(And by extension, you) truly watched the final act, the strongest demons CURRENTLY is: 1. Sesshomaru,
2. Inuyasha, 3. Naraku(Dead), 4. Demon of the shikon no tama(non existent), 5. Moryomaru(Dead), 6. Kanna(Dead), 7. Toga(Dead, LONG dead), 8. Hakudoshi(dead), 9. Kagura( Passed/ Dead) 10. Koga( Married)

What people sleep on heavy is that Lord Sesshomaru went through most of this show with one arm ..
True! 🤔😳
you can almost say that Sesshomaru defeated most of his opponents single-handedly
@@corvidmurder hehe you're punny xD
@@corvidmurder The only ones he didnt defeat with one arm were those who didnt fight him until he grew another one.
And he was rarely wounded. Even if ,he quickly got back on track. Aslo, plot reasons (Inuyasha learning).

😂
This comment is so underrated.
Love this comment!! 😂😂😂
Too many smurf accounts
He's really powerful though. But more defensively. Even Sesshomaru with all his OP couldn't break narakus barriers.
Sesshomaru is all around the best: best looking, strongest, intelligent, stylish😫
I know right, he is so stunning
Dragon Rider192 how he Carries himself is very regal and elegant
@@gigisgucci I agree
People maybe forget or dont know . Sesshomaru is a demon and a celestial being. That's the original version storyline.
Gabriel Hughes I think everyone is aware that he’s a celestial dog demon. Well at least manga readers are. They talk more about their connection with the moon.
Nuraku indeed was just powerful in manipulation. He was basically weak, all he did was put up barriers, steal people's powers and run when he's loosing
A different kind of strong I think. Thanks for watching :)
I agree! Narakus strength was in his Defense (shields/ recovery) and manipulation. He lacked strength and that is why he got others to do his dirty work.
AxelBeats! Lol I guess
MsAllanaP honestly I think he actually is powerful in terms of actual power......HOWEVER he is such an utter COWARD that he won’t even play it smart and take them out when the crew was weak, but no instead he’d rather manipulate and act like, I do apologize, a little bitch when it comes to battle despite how much power he wields and how often he’d brag about it, THEN USE IT!!!
Sorry about that, I just utterly hate this villain out a lot of anime villains, and it surprised me at how people keep saying oh he’s so powerful and such a great villain.
judeskater93 lol lol I never laughed so hard.. oh you truly don’t like him. I kinda agree with you though . It’s his manipulation that annoys me the most but you have to admit he was a smart wicked villain. Cowardly absolutely yes but smart with it .
Well, Sesshomaru’s mother was some kind of goddess who took care of the makai (hell), and his father Inu no Taisho was a TOP Yuokai. In the Demon’s world someone like Sesshomaru is like royalty. Thats why he rejected to use the Shikon jewel when Kagura offered to him, he knew he was already too OP for that shit. 😏
Sess and his mom and Touga were bascialy gods. Search "Tiangu" =D
but inuyasha would've refused to use the shikon jewel too. i think they both have too much pride to use it.
@@genpri1010 Actually my dude, Inuyasha was looking the shikon jewel to become a full monster, if you watch the two episodes where the story of Inuyasha and Kikyo is told, you’ll see. Inuyasha met Kikyo because she was protecting the jewel. I think is around the 140-150.
@@ColombianoSuperior i mean after inuyasha met kagome and them, he never used any of the shikon shards to make himself more powerful
@@ColombianoSuperior That is more accurately Episodes 146+147 "The Tragic Love Song of Destiny".
sesshomaru also has the best character development of all in the series...
he really just walks around the country being more beautiful and powerful than anyone lol
Menomaru would have killed him.
@@gibsonflyingv2820 Highly debatable bud. Even early series Sesshomaru was goddamn tough to kill, and that's counting Tetsusaiga as the great equalizer during his first fight with Inuyasha. Don't forget Tenseiga can protect him from otherwise lethal blows (see Ep. 35 for evidence) just like how Tetsusaiga's sheath protects Inuyasha from an otherwise lethal blow. But as for doing raw damage Menomaru has Sesshomaru outclassed 10 to 1 at that point.
As for late series Sesshomaru? Once he gets Bakusaiga, that coupled with Tenseiga would effectively even his odds against even a full power Hyoga. Menomaru would be right to fear getting cut with Bakusaiga no matter which form he takes against Sesshomaru at that point. In fact it would pretty much be impossible to declare a winner early on...
@@cameraredeye3115 It's really not difficult to prove if you've truly versed yourself in the series lore. There are, at different points in the series characters who would have killed sesshomaru if not for plot armor like Inuyasha saving him and suddenly devoloping weapons with zero explanation whatsoever. The baksaiga is quite literally the definition of plot armor, if not for this sudden ability based on nothing to create a necrotizing weapon, magatsuhi had defeated him and he would have died. In fact in terms of base skill magatsuhi out performed him in that entire battle. He couldn't even break narakus barriers late in the series without Inuyasha learning the adamant barrage. The same thing happened later, due to sesshomaru's overconfidence naraku had outsmarted sesshomaru and would have devoured him by absorption if not for Inuyasha slicing narakus arm off which freed sesshomaru. Most who parrot the "sesshomaru is unbeatable meme" have not even watched this entire long series let alone read in depth the lore. If you watch the entire show, its easy to see he's not invincible. Frankly kirinmaru has proven to be a more skilled fighter in the new series as well despite not having any plot armor. Menomaru is also an example of a powerful skilled warrior whose power didnt come from demon energy but actual martial arts, he was the only one who was able to block the wind scar with pure skill, something sesshomaru could never hope to achieve.
@foxtrot you're right, current sesshomaru is strongest demon in feudal era stated by author herself
@@cameraredeye3115 Do you really believe Naraku could absorb Sesshomaru? I don't, re-watch that episode, Sesshomaru doesn't even look like he is pressed, in his fight with Naraku. When Sesshomaru fights the evil spirit of the Shikon Jewel you could clearly see Sesshomaru was being bested. In the Naraku confrontation, Naraku wants to absorb Sesshomaru, that doesn't necessarily mean he could handle absorbing Sesshomaru.
As a new fan I assumed Naraku would be the strongest, but it makes sense that his abilities are best suited for manipulation.
yea, he often fights with "demon puppets" which he upgrades to incarnations as the show goes on. His role is more puppet master than fighter
Even I am a new fan I just started to watch it in july
@@sceptilegallade4985 WELCOME to the fandom, and enjoy the anime, it's one of the best animes ever... in my op5
Yeah Naraku's powers are centered around manipulation, deception, and persuasion. His primary attacks are usually redirecting the opponent's energy (wonder where he got that idea from), stabbing or restraining with various parts of his body, and committing war crimes with his miasma. These aren't bad attacks imo, but pretty basic. His real power is the fact that he's so damn hard to kill that Marvel and DC villains call bullshit on his plot armor XD
Gotta admit the Demons design are so Badass cool i mean look at Narakus design and Sesshomaro bruhh its so cool
Agree. In addition, I always saw Sesshomaru as the real hero of the series who needed to be made to learn compassion and love like his father. This is achieved through interactions with Inuyasha, Kagome, Jakken and Rin. Once he learns to love and protect others, Bakusaiga manifests itself.
exactly.. because of his side story i able to finished inuyasha till final episode ❤️
Henceforth the very thing his father Inu Taisho had asked Sesshomaru before his ultimate demise... “ Sesshomaru, do you have someone to protect?” Protecting someone makes you dig deep and become Stronger! inusyasha3rd movie
@@michaelcortez6596
And it really got going once he realized how much he cared about Kagura, since that's what prompted Totosai to bring Meido out of Tenseiga.
Don't forget Kagura aswell
I absolutely hate that in the Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon series, they made have a romantic relationship and have children. Sesshomaru essentially adopting this human orphan and having this whole arc was one of my favorite things about Inuyasha. Them ending up as a couple totally creeps me out. Once I found that out about Yashahime, I couldn’t watch that series. I am trying to forget it exists.
I aways considered Sesshoumaru the strongest. At the end he made his own sword.

Do I have a series for you
@@morganarthur7539 whats the series lol
Fun fact: in movie 3 sesshomaru dragon strike attack over powered inuyasha blacklash wave. Which suggests that the black lash wave can be overcome if one applies and keep applying enough power in their attack.
That's a good point; especially since most of these bosses have been beaten by Backlash Wave (with the help others at times) the fact that Sesshouaru can overpower it.
What a legend
If Sesshomaru wasn’t at the top of this list, I would’ve had some serious doubts about its validity.

@@Drex-ox7gf It wouldn't help against Bakusaiga. One slash from that and it's game over.

Count the number of times anyone was afraid of inuyasha’s presence compared to even the thought of being in sesshomaru’s says enough about the difference between the two and why sesshomaru is number #1

That’s also because half demon were seen has inferior in the show😅
Sesshomaru...I agree and you didn't even mention that he's fighting with one arm since he got no left arm until he got his sword in the final act
My first anime crush was sesshomaru.... Like he was that badass... And it hasn't changed in 15 years❤️
It's worth noting that twice, once in the Anime and once in the third movie, Sesshomaru completely dominates InuYasha during a fight due to being angry enough to fight in earnest. In the Anime example, he even outright says he won't be going as easy on him as he had been.
inuyasha has never seriously fought against sesshomaru, if inuyasha fights in his 100% demon form and using tessaiga you can be sure that sesshomaru will suffer. I don't think inuyasha will win, after all he is the younger brother and even if he uses all his power as a demon it is possible that he is slightly below sesshomaru's level, but he would make sesshomaru sweat and bleed, you can be sure of that. Inuyasha may be a hanyou but in terms of skills he is on a par with daiyoukai's.
@@lorddemon8019
His first encounter is probably the closest to that, when he thought Kagome was dead. He became fast enough to damage some of Sesshomaru’s armor, but Sesshomaru didn’t seem concerned.
He always says stuff like that. But if he actually was going easy, why did he not only got defeated many times, but actually lost an arm? InuYasha doesn't have that as many powers, sure, but his human drive to go on makes him win against most foes, no matter how powerful. Aaaaaand in DnD, we learn that one OP monster that fights alone is just meat for a party. InuYasha is willing to team up, while Sesshoumaru is not. So, I guess that if they would face off, now that Sesshoumaru has the bakkusaiga, InuYasha would go for teamwork rather than "this is between me and him". Also, Sesshoumaru is only the most powerful dude because of his sword, as he doesn't have nearly the same amount of abilities as many of the yokais presented. Take that (or any sword) away, and he is back at clawing at his foes like any dog demon, as shown a few times in the anime.
Even without tokijin and before bakusaiga he was dominating anyone he faced
@@mikeyy2s
Pretty much, Magatsuhi was probably the one genuine struggle for Sesshomaru and that's because claws and poison are useless against someone with part of Naraku's body who just regenerates.

For most of the series he would have been a 3 legged dog.
@@michaelgreico9630 Rin would be so happy !
I think the fact he doesn't use his dog form much shows just how powerful he is. I'm sure his father's biggest strength was his true form as it gave him an immense size and such but Sesshomaru's biggest feats were all in his pretty boy form...

Naraku... You do not need to be the strongest to be the most dangerous or the most annoying. Trying to kill him took forever and even then you had doubts if he wouldn't come back to life.
And yet once he got slashed by Bakusaiga in the final battle, that was the beginning of the end for him.
Sesshomaru is a high quality demon.
Inuyasha Profiles book Sesshomaru: "Beautifully chilling. The strongest demon in the Warring-States Era."
...and any other Era :D
"The great dog demon was 1000 times stronger than you are"
That movie ain’t canon though
@@SAARZ-Moors movie 3 technically is
@@noranradmusic Even if, it doesn't really matter after he got bakusaiga does it?
one of the things i find the best about sesshomaru’s strength is that since he has the tenseiga and the bakusaiga is that he can fight physical things/ppl/demons and non physical things like magatsuhi’s spirit and things in the underworld.
he can kill shinigami
Wow. Sesshomaru would have finished naraku if he gets the bakusaiga in the first season itself. Lol.
One of the best underrated anime
Sess could kill naraktu the first time he saw him, if Naraku was not hiding. And many more times. That's why Naraku was running away.
Yeah, if Sesshomaru got over his daddy issues quicker he would have killed him. When he did get over it Naraku had to use Rin to keep Sesshomaru from just killing him outright, though in the end Sesshomaru did pretty much solo the guy.
He needed to grow up and learn to protect the ones he cared about. Which his father have asked him before he met his demise. Once he has established that bakusaiga appeared making him surpass his own father.
Thats not even an argument. Thats like saying if goku could go SSJ as a kid he would have easily killed frieza. He wasn't powerful enough yet.
He couldn’t kill him period. Only a unique combo of crazily powerful fighters could finally end naraku. A fat he seemed to accept quite happily at the end.
i definitely find sesshomaru the strongest character in the show. even with one arm and no weapon he can still kill demons easily. and i definitely wouldnt put naraku very high up. because without the shikon jewel (which i count as “cheating” on their strength), he’s about as strong as koga without a weapon. he’s more strong in intellectual and strategic ways. but some of his incarnations like kanna and moriomoru are stronger than him. i think i would put magatsuhi (if he counts as a demon) up higher though.
Naraku absorb many strong demons naraku without the shikon jewl was creating barriar thet the wind scar couldent penetrate
You say that, but Naraku only used the jewel to create incarnations. He only absorbed the jewel into his body for strength at the very final battle. All hisfighting before that was his own power.
Magatsuhi is not of this world so he isn't really a demon. Does only Sesshumaru can really defeat him as he weilds a sword that is also not of this world. But yeah, he is really strong.
Depends a lot on the definition of strong. If you only include strenght in battle then yeah, Sesshomaru at the end and mainly Bakusaiga beats them all. But if you include intelligence then Naraku is clearly #1 imo. He comes up with genius plans all the time, alone at his first appearance where he came up with the idea of letting Sesshomaru use a human arm to control Tetsusaiga. Also he is pretty much unkillable like Voldemort, saving parts of him externally and regularly improves his barriers to be even undamageable. And yes he doesnt fight often but when he does, the protagonists are always put in fatal danger, most of the time some of them barely get away alive while poisoned from Saimyosho, Miasma, etc. Also his Barrier post Mt. Hakurei could even deflect the Backlash wave which almost killed all protagonists and which, throughout most of the show would have killed Sesshomaru as well(they just didnt let it happen until he got stronger). So depending on the point of view, Naraku can be number 1 as well.
Sesshumaru did destroy the backlash wave in the 3rd movie with the dragon strike .
Yeah an incomplete dragon strike was stronger than backlash wave (tokijin wore out unable to deal a complete dragon strike). He then says it's a normal demon fang after all. I don't remember the dialogues exactly though.
Actually, if he DESTROYED the move, it would have destroyed the sword. He didn't DESTROY it. He created a power that equalled it, and that was at the extent of Tokijin's Power. If the fight and will between the brothers had continued, it's likely Sesshomaru's sword would have been shattered, if Sesshomaru wasn't killed. As it was, in Swords of an Honorable Ruler, the incomplete/weakened Dragon Strike NEUTRALIZED the Backlash Wave, and even then, because Inuyasha didn't want to kill Sesshomaru. He had been trying to convince his brother to work with him to stop Sounga. And let's not forget that Sesshomaru always coveted both Tetsusaiga (English dub spelling, deal with it Subbers) and Sounga. He wasn't left the swords because of his answer to their father's question before Toga went to rescue Izayoi and Inuyasha on the night Inuyasha was born: "Have you someone to protect?" Because of his answer, his inheritance was the Tenseiga instead: to teach him compassion.
@@mandyrobbins1041 Inuyasha would have known Tenseiga would have protected Sesshoumaru from any fatal damage as he had already bore witness to this once before. It doesn't seem like he can dial the strength of the Backlash Wave up or down, it is all or nothing. We do see him trying to throw multiples of it and even combining it with the Adamant Barrage, but I don't think Inuyasha has either the capability or inclination to hold it back. Also his surprise at Sesshoumaru's ability to outright overcome the Backlash Wave surprised him. If he could have done better, he would have thrown out a better one, but he didn't and knew he had to take that L. That said, if Inuyasha had been in any condition to fight after eating Sesshoumaru's Azure Dragon Strike, Seshsoumaru would not be able to muster another for at least some time.
@@mandyrobbins1041 why dub
@@MA16v3 the backslash wave uses its opponent power with the wind scar so if iam not wrong its at its strongest when he uses it on his opponent attack using the backslash wave on the demon energy of a yokai is much much weaker so an incomplete backslash wave vs an incomplete dragon strike seshomaru sword couldent handle it meaning the backslash wave was a little bit stronger
Touga was an absolute chad. I'm not sure Sesshomaru surpasses him. I mean how many of Touga's "rivals" was he not able to kill or just sorta decided not to? Aside from the movies we know basically nothing about his personality, and this is one of those cases where knowing what he was like as a person heavily changes what we can guess about his power. There are a lot of unanswered questions about Inuyasha's family. Honestly I'd like a spin off or short series about his father and the time before Inuyasha's birth.
Definitely don't think Sesshomaru was stronger
I agree. The mystery and legend surrounding him makes him so interesting. I hope they decide to do a spinoff focusing on this n a young Sesshomaru.
Yes, Sesshomaru did surpass him, it's literally said in the manga. Sesshomaru not wanting to kill Toga's 'rivals' doesn't really mean much since he doesn't really do much of anything he doesn't want to do unless he gets offended like with Naraku.
@@rop888 What? I was talking about Touga not killing his rivals.
I agree with this list but switching Kaguya and Menomaru’s position makes most sense to me. She should be the third not fifth. He would definitely not hold a candle to her in a fight, she would never take her foot off his neck.
Princess Kaguya is an immortal half goddess and demoness that controls nature, illusions, absorbs anything, can stop TIME, and uses the Mirror of Life that comes with a plethora of powerful abilities. No sir lmfaooo she would break him down like he’s a fuckin Toy from Andy’s toy box.
Yeah i agree too but realistically, Inuyasha should be second. 1.His father was long dead before the series began. 2. He defeated BOTH Menomaru and Kaguya(no matter how you splice it). And 3. Many fans including AxelBeats himself(And haters), Admitted that while Inuyasha never surpassed his father, He does come close to doing so. Which means he's on his dad's level of power or Very close to it which is awesome. But This video is his opinion on who's the strongest in Inuyasha( Well except the 3rd point.).
I feel like Kaguya was wasted on that movie. Her design is stunning and she was really interesting imo. She should have just had her plan shut down with the gang escaping her castle, sealing her back in her own dimension or whatever it was (back on the moon??)
Imagine Yura of the Hair partnering with Naraku. Basically they could constantly send wave after wave of hair and demons at Inuyasha's group until they succumbed to battle fatigue or died.
You forgot hair demon was servant of naraku too
Naraku is one of the best villains in anime ever cause you just tend to hate him so damn much for basically causing everything wrong in the story ! But he never was strong what made him so powerful was his ability to be able to adjust to his situations and able to control who he saw fit and best for him bur worst for his enemies the ability to manipulate!
Not to mention while Inuyasha had to use backlash wave was needed to kill
Ryūkotsusei who was a comparable demon to his father, Sesshoumaru has been shown to overpower the backlash wave itself with Tokijin in movie 3
To be fair he kinda cranked up Tokijin into overdrive to do that (the evidence being that it was completely out of juice and needed to recharge afterwards). If he had Sounga he could do it with no effort.
Sesshomaru-sama is my favorite anime character ❤❤❤❤ would love a video all about Sesshomaru. And if you could also include what we know about his past and age.... that would be AWESOME 😆😆😆
I have a few at this point! :)
Great list! Sesshomaru for the win
Will try to get it out!
Calling it now: Bankotsu of the Band of Seven is in the Top 5, if not Top 3. The dude slew 1000 humans and 1000 demons to make his Banryu powerful enough to force a Backlash Wave out of Inuyasha. Not to mention his hand-to-hand combat skills are good enough to give Inuyasha a run for his money.
You forget tho, that after Tessaiga was bitten through, that Totosai said that InuYasha was relying on his *father's* strength to help defeat his enemies. That's the whole reason he needed to defeat the big, dragon demon; so that he can start relying on *his own* strength. I'm not saying he should have made #1, but I feel inuyasha should have made #2 at least. That's just my opinion tho
We have the same taught. Like what ive said to my comment. All demons he mentions is defeated by inuyasha. Please atleast put him next to sesshi.
I feel like it was very poor writing to have Inuyasha be able to beat a rival of his fathers who practically killed him just so he could sink a single fang into him. The backlash wave in itself was a poor decision imo. The demons should just be able to absorb their own power back and render the move useless, meaning it shouldn’t be a move at all. Kagome should be the only one of the group to pierce through barriers, it would make her an irreplaceable member for Inuyasha to have. Some of these characters and skills were too op. Miroku’s wind tunnel constantly being negated by bees was another example of a skill not well thought out.
@@Tearituplikewasabi That's the whole point. Inuyasha had no chance against Ryukotsusei without the Backlash Wave. Either he learned how to use it, or he simply died.
Basically the Backlash Wave is the enemy's own attack amplified by a Wind Scar. But it can only be used against enemies who are substantially more powerful than Inuyasha. Someone like Hyoga or Sesshomaru (who are god tier yokai) can overpower it with sheer force alone; that's why he had Kagome help out with her arrow against Hyoga in Movie 1, and also why Sesshomaru defeated the Backlash Wave with a Dragon Strike in Movie 3.
No. The user has to he stronger than the targer to use the Backlash wave@@cameraredeye3115
Sesshomaru is indeed the strongest and the smartest, now in Yashahime, he achieved the title of the great demon and he become like his father in that timeline and generation.
I completely agree with your placements. I liked that u included the movie villians. Sesshomaru is also totallly my number 1 choice. I was hopeing he was number 1 from the start❤
Lord Hyoga/Menomaru was such a cool demon with a very interesting backstory. Would’ve liked to see or hear about him in the main series from time to time
Saves the Demons: Flynn Crump is shinigami, Lilith is yokai demon, Lucifer Magne is fallen angel, Alastor is radio wendigo demon, Stolas is owl demon, Loona is hellhound, Lucifer is demon CEO, Lilit Shiningone is yokai vampire, La Cartina is goddess of sugar skull, Nailah is Egyptian demon plague, Kaguya is daiyokai fairy, Mephietopheles is otaku demon, Fireplace Demon is Hell demon, Valentino is love butterfly sinner, Death is sinner of death, La Muerte is yokai goddess of sugar skull love, Xibalba is god of death forgotten, Moundshroud is demon vampire, Sophie is succubus, Karakasa is possessor, Fizz is sinner, Malphas is crow demon, Bael is spider demon, Stellas' Frozen Brother is ice bird demon, Blitzo is imp, Sir Pentious is snake demon, Serpent is demon serpent, Kitsune is fox demon.
Even though Sesshomaru may be a strongest demon as number 1 on this list, he's kind of like a father figure-ish to Rin who travels with him and Jaken. And that's due to someone to protect as he got that from his father even though he still thinks humans are not important or weak. I should also note that "someone to protect" is actually his father's exact words. But later on his true nature-like caring side comes through when caring or showing a bit of emotion to Rin especially when during the Final Act with Kohaku joins up with him to help his group when Sesshomaru goes off to take care of business. This is to show that you never judge a book by it's cover unless you know the real truth. And when it comes to strongest demons, he's definitely my favorite.
This didn't age well
Rewatching Inuyasha right now and Sesshomaru definitely is the strongest. He’s defeating the band of seven like nothing lol
I think some notable exceptions were missed here such as Shishinki , panther king , taigukumaru, the panther deva Toran, etc The panther king was able to defeat Inuyasha and Sesshomaru combined, and the panther deva Toran battled into a stalemate with Sesshomaru. Shishinki went toe to toe with both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and It took their combined effort to send him to hell. Taigukumaru the bat king demon had the barrier which wind scar and backlash wave couldn’t penetrate. In my opinion these 4 Daiyokai were definitely more powerful than Mōryōmaru and Naraku.
Shishinki maybe, but the Panther King was only so strong because he was undead, one swing from Tensaiga killed him easily. And Taigukumaru did have a strong barrier, but the red Tessaiga absoebed it's power and Naraku later had a barrier that the red Tessaiga couldn't cut. So after Mt. Hakurei Naraku was stronger than him, Moryomaru in turn got even stronger than Naraku, which is why Naraku absorbed him.

if only they showed more scenes where sesshomaru uses his bakusaiga. just think inuyasha and tetsaiga vs sesshomaru and bakusaiga. it’d either be a tie or sesshomaru would win.
a tie ? NEVER. I mean Sesshomaru's NATURAL powers surpasses those of Inuyusha and bakusaiga is also stronger than Tenseiga ... there is no way in hell Inuyusha would survive that, Im actually happy that Sesshomaru never got in fight with his otoutou after he got the extra power.
Sesshomaru is better at battle tactics, more durable less hot headed. He would win every fight if not for plot or his pride. In the end,he would take inu seriously and dealy with him the right way from the beginning.
No the backslash is a hack attack seshomaru strongest attack plus the wind scar against him anleast inuyasha will use seshomaru yokai energy for the backslash wave insted of his attack and it would be very stupid
@@amenarfa211 backslash wave littrlt seshomaru power with the wind scar against him
@@adam-dn3hi The wind scar is nothing compared to Sess's attack we already saw that in the last fight with Naraku , while Inuyusha's attacks were almost useless Sess killed him without effort.
A lot of the demons from earlier on in the series are really tough to rank, because we don't know how they would fare against a Meido or Bakusaiga. The only one who holds up is Ryukotsusei because he fought Toga in his prime and basically killed him.
Also, this list was obviously made before Yashahime, but I wonder where Kirinmaru would rank
Axelbeats, I know this is your list for the strongest demons of Inuyasha, and I do find your reasoning acceptable, but there are some things I don't agree with:
1. This is the biggest problem that I feel needs to be brought up first. Inuyasha does not win most of his fights with Sesshomaru. If you actually rewatch all of their fights, including their fight in the 3rd Inuyasha movie, you would notice that Inuyasha only has 2 legitimate wins against Sesshomaru, both times were due to luck. Inuyasha has only always prevented Sesshomaru from stealing Tetsaiga. Sesshomaru has always beaten Inuyasha when they both are unarmed, has defeated Inuyasha before he learned how to use the windscar when he himself was unarmed, and has pretty much defeated Inuyasha in every battle he had the sword tokijin. Even their last known battle, which was inconclusive, was more of a test to see if Inuyasha was the true heir to Tetsaiga.
2. While the 4 war gods in their true form was powerful but I am not convinced that they were stronger than ryukotsusei.
3. Inuyasha in all but the third movie tends to overpower and/or defeat the movie villains by combining his backlash wave with Kagome's sacred arrows.
4. I think you underestimated Naraku's power a bit, since before he completed the shikon jewel, he was able to put up a barrier powerful enough to block the backlash wave.
5. Inuyasha has great power without Tetsaiga due to the demon blood he inherited from his father, his full demon form is also very powerful, and after his Tetsaiga was reforged using one of his fangs it became an extension of Inuyasha's strength.
6. I think you overestimate Kaguya's strength. She may have had formidable abilities but she was defeated originally by Miroku's grandfather before Inuyasha and his friends beat her.
7. I think that Toga should have been ranked 1st or 2nd place in terms of power.
8. It's debatable whether or not Sesshomaru truly surpassed his father in power, but it is possible when Sesshomaru gained Bakusaiga that he did.
For the record, you made a great list of the most powerful demons of Inuyasha, and aside from these nitpicks I mostly agree with it.
I agree with most of your points, but there is a factor that isn't discussed in the entirety of the video and power scale; demonic energy/aura/power in general. I bring this up because, arguably, ryukotsusei was the strongest demon that Toga ever faced only being able to seal him away and get mortally wounded by him, everyone else as powerful as they were was never able to seriously injure him aside from that dragon. Presumably speaking, all of Toga's enemies were too powerful for the Backlash wave technique to work against, leading to him having to combat them by main strength. The panther king and the dragon we can say this factor held weight to for sure, were as with the moth demon and the story around their battle, we can say he was able to use the backlash wave against, this makes the other two enemies he faced arguably stronger in terms of demonic power given that the backlash wave technique can only work if the enemy is of equivalent power to the sword's wielder as stated by Totosi and the official books. This factor is what arguably proves that Inuyasha may not have surpassed his father in terms of physical strength but the strength of literal demonic power proven in the battle with Ryukotsusei. This factor arguably makes Inuyasha the 2nd or 3rd placer given that moth demon had absorb his ancestor's energy that Toga sealed away in order to be as high as he was ranked, and Toga given that Inuyasha was able to defeat the one real demon that was actually of equivalent to greater power than his dad, aside from his brother. We can debate wether or not Sesshomaru is stronger then Toga given that both of them could easily slaughter thousands of enemies in a single go if they chose to, and the fact that Sesshomaru was only said to surpass Toga by forging the Bakusaiga from his own energy and body rather than needing his sword made for him like Toga. So we could easily say that they are both equally powerful in demonic power, with maybe Toga being the physically stronger of the two given he's the size of an arguable mountain.
@@ethanknight3970 you make good points, and while Inuyasha did defeat Ryukotsusei with the backlash wave, it was stated in the third movie by totosai that Toga was 1000 stronger than Inuyasha, which is supported by the fact that Inuyasha was unable to stop himself from being possessed by sounga while Toga never let sounga control him.
@@StareachValcin you do have a point on the sounga, it is always stated that Toga is stronger than Inuyasha, however it is never said how he is stronger than Inuyasha that tips the scale here. given that the movies are not really canon to the series, one can argue that it still proves Inuyasha to be stronger than his dad in the terms of demonic energy, just not physical. Physical as in scientific make up; given that Toga was a full blood and incredibly powerful demon, where as Inuyasha is also incredibly powerful yet is still only half-demon, this factor accounts that Toga could physically "handle" the sword's power where Inuyasha's half-demon make up couldn't physically handle the power load the sword possessed, leading to him being easier to possess where if Inuyasha was a full blooded demon he probably could have and would have succeeded in bringing sounga under his control, given how stubborn a mule he happened to be, something he most likely inherited from none other than Toga himself, and in a way he would be equivalent to Toga in physical power terms as something of a copy of Toga given both their similarities, and how Inuyasha was able to do what Toga could not, Slay the Dragon.
@@ethanknight3970 fair point, but I do believe that the movies are canon to the series since they don't really contradict anything that happened in the series. In fact, the Inuyasha movies do fit well in the series, especially movie 3, which actually expands on Toga and his relationships with his sons, Inuyasha's mother Izayoi. Not to mention that the movie reveals that Inuyasha is 200 years old by the time he met Kagome. Also, you have to factor in for a time Inuyasha's demon blood, which he inherited from his father was too strong for him to handle and would have inevitably devoured his soul if he hadn't mastered Tetsaiga. Plus I am not entirely convinced that Inuyasha could overpower the sounga if he were a full demon, but that's a moot point since we're discussing Inuyasha's strength as a half demon. There's also too much evidence that suggests that Inuyasha is still weaker than his father power wise, such as when totosai brought up that Tetsaiga is powerful enough to absorb demonic energy but Inuyasha couldn't handle that much energy. Also, Sesshomaru with tokijin has bested Inuyasha after he mastered Tetsaiga, and this was before Sesshomaru officially "surpassed" their father. Inuyasha may be powerful with Tetsaiga, and he did legitimately defeat ryukotsusei when his father failed to do so, but with statements made in the series and movies, I don't think that Inuyasha was more powerful than his father Toga. If anything, Inuyasha found his own strength and doesn't need the power of his father to protect himself.
@@StareachValcin very true on many points made; it is also a question as to wether or not sesshomaru himself could actually control the sword too, we will never know as he never tried to use it; as such, going by how Inuyasha responded with the sword, the idea of him being able to conquer Sounga is both a probable and non probable achievement if he were a full-blood demon. It just goes to say if he were a full-blood demon like sesshomaru, the end result could go either way as stated by totosi as well, given that he believed that the only demon who stood a chance of controlling the sword was sesshomaru. And as stated before and strictly speaking, as Inuyasha is as a half-demon, in terms of physical power his dad does have him beat as a full-blooded demon, and it would be hard to compete with a demon the size of an arguable mountain. We can only really presume, that if Inuyasha was born a full-blood, he would be much more comparable to sesshomaru in the realm of physical capabilities being at least 10 times stronger, faster, more durable, and at least 10 times more powerful in terms of demonic energy than he already is, otherwise as he currently is he stacks up equally to if not a little better than Koga in terms of physical capabilities, which is arguably pretty well-off given that Koga can handle pretty much any enemy he faces aside from sesshomaru, being that sesshomaru is a great demon were Koga is more of a middle level demon, of which still doesn't stand much of a chance against a demon like sesshomaru to begin with and Inuyasha may not hold his own well against Sesshomaru, he does hold his own better than most everyone else that has ever faced sesshomaru in the entirety of the series, and you can't quite imagine, or at least I can't imagine, Koga still standing after taking an arm through the gut like Inuyasha did that one time against non other than sesshomaru. When Inuyasha found his own strength, and didn't need his dad's to protect him anymore, he proved that his own power was greater than his dad's when he defeated the dragon his dad could not defeat, this in turn is the point that proves Inuyasha is more "powerful" than his dad in demonic energy terms rather than physical strength, which is the main point I've been stressing.
I never thought of Sesshomaru being considered a “good boy” because of his dog form. Thanks for one more reason I love his character the most.
My personal favorite amongst really strong demons in the series was Ryokotsusei. He was sure badass and really strong. I also like the fact the he didn't didn't mock Inuyasha for being a half demon. Either he didn't know or just didn't give a f*ck. It was also cool when he attacked Naraku's spying puppet. He was also the main reason why Toga died so yeah.. there you go...
Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kikyo will always be my favorite Inuyasha characters. In order: Lord Sesshomaru, Lady Kikyo, Lord Inuyasha and Sango.
Ehh, Sesshoumaru is the only demon in the entire series to meet the Backlash Wave head on and through only rage and brute force overcome it and with an objectively inferior weapon. Once he acquires Bakusaiga, it isn't a contest. The Backlash Wave would either fail to form(due to either the immense difference in power being projected or due to the properties of the Bakusaiga) or if it did form, would dissolve instantly.
I loved the moment when Goshinki managed to break Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga, he was special but too shame he didn't last long enough
Goshinki was way too strong to be allowed to keep alive. That beast smoked Inuyasha and was about to eat his entire squad alive; his biggest mistake was starting with Kagome. That forced Inuyasha to go full demon to take him out.
Sesshomaru been in alot of wars with toga
I agree... Sesshomaru was clearly the most feared on the series!
Menomaru is actually one of my favorite characters from Inuyasha. I was happy he made it into such a high spot.
Finally a top ten Inuyasha video has been made finally
You severely undervalued Naraku in this. The guy had mastered the jewel, to the point that he was able to create new shards on his own. His miasma was so strong, that he was able to fabricate new jewel shards out of it. His curses were so strong, that he was able to injure Sesshomaru. Hell, even Kikyo WITH Midoriko's power acknowledged they weren't collectively strong enough to keep Naraku at bay. A lot of people see Naraku getting cut up in the show and take it as a sign of weakness, but no one realizes that he was just testing his body over and over again. Whenever he got into a fight and part of his was cut off? He saw that as weakness and got rid of the fragile bits of his body. His goal wasn't to come out and be immediately strong, it was to assimilate over time and grow gradually. We see it in both the anime and the manga. Let's also not forget that Naraku had the ability to cheat death, not only with himself but with others. He had help resurrecting Kikyo, and he learned how to do it on his own ... Being able to bring back people like the Band of Seven. His power was great enough to melt the claw of Toga-o, which means his miasma was at a power that could've melted the Great Dog General. The reason Naraku lost to InuYasha? Plot Armor, it's a wonderful thing.
I wish we could get a prequel about Inuyasha’s dad that’d be cool.
I just about died when Sesshomaru gave Towa the Tenseiga 😭😭
It's pretty obvious that Sesshomaru is the strongest demon. His Bakusaiga is *broken*
I'm ok with the good boy being best boy
His father is the strongest
@@davidortiz3094 Sesshomaru surpassed his own father when he got Bakusaiga.
Rule for almost any anime: the more human you look the stronger you are
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I started watching because of your Inuyasha videos. I just want to say that it seems like you put a lot of effort into your content. Thank you for your hard work. Great video.
I can see why you placed Sesshoumaru as the strongest yokai in this series. This is mostly attributed to not only his physical strength and overall stamina, but also his psychological strength. He was never seduced by the amazing offers of what the Shikon Jewel had to offer, as he relied on his own skill. Moreover, Sesshoumaru is a conscientious, focused, and accurate combatant, so no one can break him or shake him even if they tried, thus being one step further above his opponents.
In Inuyasha's defense, he does bear super strength, super stamina, and super speed, which are the traits I have always admired about Inuyasha when I was an 11-year-old boy. Even without his Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha does prove himself to be an extremely capable fighter, especially when he has punches that can overpower anyone or anything. Moreover, I have been completely fascinated by his full yokai form at that young of an age, which was why in my AU headcanon, he would transform into his full yokai form whenever he gets savagely beaten down and use his claws, strength, and fangs to bring his foes down.
One character I believe is just as strong but not really at the level of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha is Ayame the female Northern Yoro yokai warrior princess. Yes, she only appeared in a grand total of four episodes. However, the mere fact that she has super speed, endurance, and fantastic combat prowess does make her a force to be reckoned with.
Shipping-wise, I am also a huge Sesshoumaru x Ayame and Inuyasha x Ayame shipper, which explains my passion for Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame.
but how did ayame even have super speed? koga had it too but that was because of his shikon jewel shards.
@@saklee1777 Good question and here's my answer. Ayame trained the natural way ever since she was a child and she has been trying to get better at it as time went on. Whereas Koga mainly used the Shikon Jewel shards to accelerate his speed and strength without fully relying on his own strength. Keep in mind that when Naraku stripped him of his Shikon Jewel shards in Inuyasha: The Final Act, he just up and left because he was weak without them and did not avenge the death of his comrades.
Sesshomaru is the goodest boy. also I haven't watched this series in years but I'm so excited to experience it all over again if I can get my hands on it
I aggre with this list. And I liked how you explained why they were on the numbers they were. Great video 👍🏾
Naraku is just super smart
Don't be ridiculous if Inuyasha could beat him Lord Sesshomaru, will destroy Them
I love this video 😍
Kyora, the war god Sesshomaru's killed, was male. Also, Inuyasha defeated them with a new technique, the Adamant Backlash Wave. The Adamant technique can be used in conjunction with the Wind Scar or Backlash Wave.
In terms of raw strength, Inuyasha is about the equivalent to one of Sesshomaru's arms, according to Rumiko Takahashi. But when he uses his full demon power, he is equal to, or a bit stronger than him. To the point that he made Sesshomaru, (the damn near emotionless and stoic daiyoukai) tremble in fear briefly. Sesshomaru isn't used to sensing power that rivals him
I have to admit I was very upset as we got closer to number one and Sesshomaru was nowhere on this list... My heart skipped a beat when I got there. I personally agree. There have been many hints throughout the series that Sesshomaru would take his fathers place and be one of the most powerful demons to exist.
This series has many powerful demons throughout the seasons and movies
I think Inuyasha is underated in term of power, I mean there is a huuuuuuge change between Inuyasha in ep 1 and Inuyasha in the Final Act and he's half a demon not a full one. Plus as opposed to other characters I think he has more place to grow stronger. His sword can be the most powerful if he just relax lol. the guy is hot headed
Extremely good analyst 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

I know you’re saying naraku isn’t all that powerful but what you’re missing is he has the power to split off and create others from himself (effectively probably nerfing himself and showing how much demonic power he has to do it.. also being able to create a barrier very strong shows incredible AP. I doubt the war gods could kill him.
Heyyyy I just saw you got 10K subscribers now. Congratulations I am glad I was part of the first 10K to subscribe to your channel
Thanks friend!
Aw. You could've given Shippo an honorable mention. Poor little dude tries his best. :P
(Tho I agree Sesshi for #1!)
Well, if Shippo lives long enough to gain more tails, he can be elite demon himself. Wonder if he will be fighting with a top then...
I agree Sesshoumaru should be number 1. Once he lost interest in iniyashas sword and recieved his own totosai states he has finally surpassed his fathers teachings. Also when inuyasha finally uses the windscar on Sesshoumaru early on his own weapon saves him again making torosai state how do you kill someone who in unable to be killed. He senses Inuyasha in his demon form and could easily kill him but instead tells Kagome how to make Inuyasha normal. He is the one to truly destroy Naraku. There are so many examples but aside from his first real fight where he loses his arm to Inuyasha and underestimates the fact Inuyasha can use the tensagia he is very OP. Naraku would not be so powerful without the jewel. When offerred a piece Sesshoumaru rejects it. If he had shikon shards the guy would be unstoppable.
The best thing about the show was the evolution of Sesshomaru, he eventually managed to surpass his dad the great dog demon, regenerate his hand and literally create out of nowhere something that might be the most powerful weapon in the entire series...
Menomaru appears very early in the series so beating the hell out of Inuyasha is no big deal back then, so I won't consider him super strong on his own. His father was killed by Inuyasha's father, but Inuyasha's father was fine after the battle so Menomaru's father is strong but not that strong. Now adding Menomaru's power on top of his father power, at most he gets close to Inuyasha's father but no way surpassing him. Windscar is a skill that cut the line between two aura, Inuyasha later can use it whenever he wants but it must still has something to do with the aura, the fact that Inuyasha can't use it against Menomaru is because he is too weak, that's all. Let's compare Inuyasha's windscar and Sesshomaru's windscar, Inuyasha's windscar can plow some dozens meters, Sesshomaru's windscar goes through a freaking moutain (I'm talking about the time when he has the human's arm given by Naraku). So there is a huge difference when different people using the same technique. If you use Inuyasha as a reference, it may not be accurate.
You rank Ryukotsusei below Menomaru but you have to understand he was seal for hundreds of years already before fighting with Inuyasha, he is not at his peak. At his peak he can almost kill Inuyasha's father, the one who has the three sword of heaven, earth, and hell. As explained above, Menomaru is not that strong even with his father's power. So I say Ryukotsusei is stronger than Menomaru.
You seem to rely on Inuyasha's backlash wave a lot, but you forget a lot of time Inuyasha uses it with the biggest bug in the series, Kagome's sacred arrow (Kikyou's arrow is even more powerful). This sacred arrow to demon is like Krytonite to Superman. It can goes through all demonic barrier and reduces the strongest demon's defense to zero. So using something like that to rank how strong a demon is, not fair at all.
without the sacred arrow to destroy the central point of his power, the forehead, menomaru, would have stopped bakuryuha. ryukotsusei could not stop bakuryuha
plot twist, Sounga, the third sword, is actually the sword that Wei Wuxian ended up using to cultivate the Stygian Tiger Seal and that's why it can control hoardes of zombies
I wish they made a movie covering kirinmaru because they met all the other youkai the rules the different lands. Its weird they would bring up kirinmaru only in the sequel instead of in the original series but I get it because they needed a "villian" even though he might not be the real villian
I mean he is a good boy
What if I told you, that Tokijin was not creating the lightning attacks, in reality the lightning attacks were the same as his daughter's, his own power channeled through Tokjin. Tokijin was a medium to channel and pinpoint his own power through, this is also the reason Tokijin got fried when he unleashed too much power through it. Now I admit this may be a bit of a retcon with Yashahime so dunno if it was out by sept 7 2020.
Btw Sesshomaru can only use light whips in the anime. In the manga he uses his claws or fur.
I know, but it still kinda has to be part of the discussion. Most people were anime only so I gotta lean towards that
Honestly i would have been 20x times more excited to see an Inuyasha prequal favouring 1
Toga's exploits 2. How Sesshomaru got so strong and his youth and 3.Inuyasha's childhood perhaps but i know that part would have been tricky.
There would have been alot more room for action that the old fans could relate to and solve some of the intriguing bits about their past.
Before the video: If Sesshomaru isn’t on the top 3, I hate this list.
Sesshomaru is #1: YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! YAAASS! That’s my boi!!!!!
Minor thing about Moryomaru; the fire and lightning thing is just in the anime. In the manga, he only had lightning, has he only managed to kill and absorb Kinka. Inuyasha absorbed Ginka, granting him the Flaming Tessaiga. But it's implied Moryomaru discarded Kinka's parts because of the internal resonance happening when the Flaming Tessaiga attacked, damaging Moryomaru from the inside.
Anyone else so in love with Sesshomeru that it hurts??!??
I wonder what inuyasha sword would do if he ever had on just manifest from him like Sesshoumaru.
Sesshomaru is my all time favorite anime character. He's just so badass and the dynamics with Rin and Jaken are just so great.
I agree sesshomaru is the strongest...and also he's Soo handsome ♥️
*happy inuyasha fan noises*
How about top underrated inu characters list?or strongest humans
I've been binging your vids. Good work 👍🏼
Thanks fam 💕
Sometimes this show make no sense like inuyasha beat ryokotsei with one sword with 2 move and inotaisho cant defeat ryokotsei with three swords and physically 1000x stronger than inuyasha this make no sense
Well, if you watch the fight again, Im sure its stated that Ryokotsei was severly weakened by his fight the Inu no Taisho. So he wasn't at his strongest when fighting Inuyasha
It make no sense because you are unable to see the story complete picture. Take a look at Inu no Taisho (Inu&Sesho father), he even died from a random samurai lords because a grave injuries he had after the battle with ryokotsei.
If Inu no Taisho can succumbed to death just like that, of course ryokotsei fate can be doomed too. It basically tell how weakened they are, after they battle against each other.
Especially since Inuyasha defeated ryokotsei quite easily with the backlashwave, which Inotaisho should have been able to use too.
Ryukotsei was pretty heavily weaker than when he was first alive
Thanks for making the video ❤️
I hope you liked it :)
God I CANNOT wait for the 2020 (2021?) Version of the show 😭
Less than 30 days lol
4 days now lol
Now I just want to see all ten of these demons battle it out in a colosseum to see who will reign supreme. I have a feeling Sesshomaru has already slain every demon on this list to be number one. Nice list~!!!
I think if the anime shows up all the power of the inuyasha's father he would be the first on the list.
i think Sessh would have been even if not a little higher based on what totosai said, but i 100% agree that i wish he was more flushed out so we knew for sure. Hope you enjoyed the video! :)
if i remember right, didnt sesshomaru end up getting bakusaiga by surpassing his father? i would think his father would be the 2nd strongest demon.
@@saklee1777 I agree and getting his sword along with his arm is never been a full fledged demon do
Do you have a top ten Inuyasha episodes? I'd like to see that.
That could be fun to make!
@@AxelBeats I'd watch it. :)
Finally I subbed 🎉
