Another hot topic. I think Sesshomaru should have saved kikiyo from Naroku. 1 Kikiyo saved Rin from the evil dr. 2 I also think Sesshomaru should have struck while the iron is hot. Naroku's back is turned u could have stabbed or cut off his arm while Naroku's focus was Kikiyo
@@ikeemr.3412, it's unfortunately not in his nature unless she is preventing Sesshomau from getting to Naraku somehow. Kinda like Kagura was freed. I really can't tell if it was intentional or if it was because she was a part of him and he was hacking away to get to Naraku
@@martinemariemc I agree it's not Sesshomaru style. But he could of saved kikiyo or bought time for inuyasha to appear. While she's thanking him he'll say I only did it kill Naroku not to save you.
@@ikeemr.3412 Hahaha yep that is exactly what he would say! My boy Sesshomaru is real good at playing aloof! Remember when he had to tell Kagome that Inuyasha hurt her in his demon form and she didn't really believe him? And she was right cos it wasn't quite what they thought and Kagome was able to ride on "Lord Fluff Fluffs" mokomoko! Lol
I would have liked to see an OVA featuring the backstories for these guys. Suikotsu was a doctor with a split personality, but I’m curious what the other members were like way before they became mercenaries. Renkotsu seems to be depicted a lot as an ex-monk in the fanfics.
As far as I know there is also a theory that the Band of Seven are also based on the 7 deadly sins. Each member essentially becoming a physical manifestation of that sin. Kyokotsu - Gluttony Mukotsu - Envy Ginkotsu - Sloth Suikotsu - Wrath Jakotsu - Lust Renkotsu - Greed Bankotsu - Pride
Alternative theory: The Band of Seven represent things that are considered war crimes or otherwise distasteful in war. Mukotsu is obviously the usage of chemical or biological weaponry, as well as drug usage considering he breathes his own poisons and his less lethal concoctions could be likened to narcotics. Gyokotsu represents the needless ravaging of the land and destruction of property and, of course, committing acts of cannibalism. Ginkotsu is obviously the development or adoption of new and untested weapons, but also human experimemtation. Suikotsu is a 2-for-1, representing the practice of having medics engage in combat or having soldiers masquerading as civilians or other noncombatants, but he also represents the practice of attacking those very same noncombatants. Jakotsu is the torture and sexual assault of enemy soldiers, as well as fraternization within a military unit. Renkotsu is general underhanded tactics, the betrayal of comrades, and the disregard or overthrowing of authority figures. And Bankotsu, as the leader of the Band of Seven, represents the immorality of mercenaries and their willingness to fight for any cause.
Your right on some of these 1. Kyokotsu does represent gluttony as shown by him outright devouring demons, 2. Renkotsu did represent greed as shown by his increasing desire for the jewel shards, & 3. Bankotsu represented pride as shown by his confidant and cocky attitude, but yo are wrong about the other four they are as follows 4. Jakotsu represents envy as shown by the jealous fits he goes into whenever someone comes between him and Inuyasha, 5. Mukotsu represents lust as shown by both his attitude and the fact he wanted to outright rape Kagome, 6. Ginkotsu represents wrath due to the fact he never shows any emotion other than anger, & 7. Suikotsu represents sloth due to the fact that one of his split personalities is, for lack of a better term, "sleeping" whenever the other is active.
I know Jakotsu was originally intended to be female but Rumiko didnt want Inuyasha defeating a female human, so she just changed her into a flamboyant/feminine gay man, we cant be sure but perhaps Jakotsu was initially supposed to represent women who partake in war, often by impersonating the other gender (i.e Mulan) which Jakotsu is somewhat a reflection of that
As a person who’s sees hundreds of history documentaries on a monthly basis; I LOVED THIS VIDEO. And I recognize wholeheartedly you saying “if you believe some of these stories”. There are so many history books that depict when the author believes this or that, discarding other tales. As always, this is a great view on Inuyasha’s historical element.
Didn't know this! Learned something new. :) If you are ever interested I'd love a video focused on Koga and the wolf demon tribe. Or other half-demon characters such as Jineji, Shiori, and Izumo to name a few.
The band of seven are my favorite part of the Inuyasha series. Thank you for making a few video's about them. Bankotsu will always be my favorite character in the series.
@@AxelBeats do think Inuyasha and the anime Demon Slayer share some similarities i would love too hear your thoughts im really into japanese history and folk lore especailly when it comes too yokai
This was very interesting. I always liked Inuyasha but never really saw anyone doing lore videos. I'm glad to have found your channel. If your interested in the near future maybe do a video on the priestesses and monks
I love Inuyasha, as I have watch from 2008, when I was quite young in grande 3-4 year school. , including 2024 I still watch them all the time over and over, I always enjoy watching all episodes and movies my my language and, natural language Japanese sometimes to enjoy the stories.
I always thought they represented the seven deadly sins. But this was a spectacular explanation. I never knew about this. I thoroughly loved the video. #StayAxellent
Interesting that aspects of war would define the Band of Seven. Then again, Rumiko sensei was kind of genius when it came to creating something like InuYasha.
I think even better for Bankotsu was the religious aspect. Desperation can cause people to make radical beliefs. In his case it was apathy for religious beliefs being an atheous. For him he would kill and slaughter for there was no punishment awaiting in the next life.
I'd wish I was never born if I had Genghis Khan's genes in me. Although I think Bankotsu is hot, I think he was more power-hungry than loyal because he threatened to carve the shikon jewels out from Renkotsu's neck. I'd feel threatened in Renkotsu's shoes and think of betrayal also.
I would say that Jakotsu was trans. Speaking of, this is the "Not Rex" rant on Manning ua-cam.com/video/AbN4LwxzVxM/v-deo.html Airbase hosts 1st military gay wedding - from 2005 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/airbase-hosts-1st-military-gay-wedding-1.557776
I love when you analyze deeper meanings to a series with a historical lens! History has never been a strong point of study for me, but your videos inspire a hell of a lot of googling on my end ;D
I really wasn’t a fan of the band of seven. I feel like they were really overhyped to be so easily disbanded. I’m not a huge fan of the 7 swordsman in Naruto (for the same reason), yet I feel like they had a better character design and group concept. The band of seven and potential, I just feel like they’ve fell short of what they could’ve been.
@@DemonKingBadger Yeah, for me too ! Bankotsu is in my Top 1 (with Jellal Fernandes from Fairy Tail) in my favourite Male Characters and I really love these antagonists !! Band of Seven is the best arc from Inu-Yasha !!
Alexander the Great is also attributed to the creation of many of mixed martial arts used in things like UFC so his friend may have had some hot thighs and he may also have had one hell of a leg hold in the ring. (The later perhaps also quite possibly preceded the act tied to the former if you beleive the stories)
Don’t get an Inuyasha tattoo bro. To this day, I’m still glad i didn’t get a Naruto tatt. To each their own, but..🤷🏽♀️ Edit: if you insist on gettin a tatt of a dope ass protagonist, get a tatt of Guts wielding the Dragon Slayer🤤 It would look way more manlier too
Remember to subscribe for more DAILY inuyasha and Yashahime content!
Alexander is my favorite too! Man we have a lot in common

I think it was implied that Bankotsu and Jakotsu were two best friends who just kinda went around fighting people
Kind of felt Renkotsu had some blacksmithing in his past, with fixing Ginkotsu
@@DemonKingBadgerI thought he was supposed to be an engineer

I've heard that theory too, and I like it.
Those were my thoughts, exactly.
I actually thought of that first time watching. Exact sins too.

Jakotsu hady favorite weapon in Inuyasha
As a military historian, i find this fascinating.
Glad you enjoyed! Think it's viable?
@@AxelBeats I'd argue this is a viable argument. I'd love to see you develop this into a video series. Almost like chapters to a thesis.
As a person who’s sees hundreds of history documentaries on a monthly basis; I LOVED THIS VIDEO. And I recognize wholeheartedly you saying “if you believe some of these stories”. There are so many history books that depict when the author believes this or that, discarding other tales.

I'm a firm believer aha
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Didn't know this! Learned something new. :)
If you are ever interested I'd love a video focused on Koga and the wolf demon tribe. Or other half-demon characters such as Jineji, Shiori, and Izumo to name a few.
Please talk about priestesses Tsubaki and Kikyo and shikigami and their powers and stuff. I’d like to know more about the lore behind it.
The band of seven are my favorite part of the Inuyasha series. Thank you for making a few video's about them. Bankotsu will always be my favorite character in the series.
the band of 7 arc was by far my favotite @Axelbeats what were your favorite moments in the arc
I really like the arc where naraku first made incarnations. Introduction of Kanna, Kagura, and goshinki. Just super solid
@@AxelBeats do think Inuyasha and the anime Demon Slayer share some similarities i would love too hear your thoughts im really into japanese history and folk lore especailly when it comes too yokai
Ya I'm planning on a video at some point. Just too many on my list lol
@@AxelBeats SWEET i cant wait and if u need help i have some thoughts too share
War makes Me think of a time I considered recruiting My foolish half-brother.
Meanwhile he was like: 🎵War, what is it good for? absolutely napping!🎵
oic wut you did thar 🤣🤣🤣
How is it going how are you doing lord Sesshomaru
This was very interesting. I always liked Inuyasha but never really saw anyone doing lore videos. I'm glad to have found your channel.
If your interested in the near future maybe do a video on the priestesses and monks
Thanks friend!
Oh no this made me remember how I had a massive crush on Bankotsu at the age of 10 😭
I love Inuyasha, as I have watch from 2008,
when I was quite young in grande 3-4 year school.
, including 2024 I still watch them all the time over and over,
I always enjoy watching all episodes and movies my my language and,
natural language Japanese sometimes to enjoy the stories.
I would like to see Bankotsu vs Sesshomaru 🤺⚔🤺
I always thought they represented the seven deadly sins. But this was a spectacular explanation. I never knew about this. I thoroughly loved the video. #StayAxellent
I love Bankotsu so much! :''3 -hugs him tighter - 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Interesting that aspects of war would define the Band of Seven. Then again, Rumiko sensei was kind of genius when it came to creating something like InuYasha.
That's why I respect bankostu he loyal to his commarades
Mukotsu is a fucking creepy little bastard... I think I need to rewatch the series lmao
I wander what the markings on their face meaning because they all different then the others
Jukotsu is a woman same as kurapika in hunter x hunter. It's women who does their voice & not did good sounding like men at all these are girls
Can you do a single video about Bankotsu please??? I really love his character 😍😍😍 and I’m sure there are so many other people do too!!!
Please do a koga video before yashahime releases🙏🏽❤️
Already have all my videos ready until then. Koga will be soon ish after though
Omg the Band of Seven was my favorite arc. Bankotsu had to be my favorite ❤
I think even better for Bankotsu was the religious aspect. Desperation can cause people to make radical beliefs. In his case it was apathy for religious beliefs being an atheous. For him he would kill and slaughter for there was no punishment awaiting in the next life.

FIrst coment!! yey
Winner!
Mukostu,s the most hated character?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I need to go back and watch this arc. I think the show was taken off of adult swim as this arc was coming out, so I missed a bunch of it :/
Very interesting perspective! Can't wait for your next video!! Stay safe!
Thanks ^.^
Stay safe AND Axellent :)
I always thought the band of seven represented the 7 deadly sins. Lust, gluttony, wrath, etc.
I would say that Jakotsu was trans. Speaking of, this is the "Not Rex" rant on Manning

No? I would say he is gay lol there is no evidence to show he was trans
Your insight is very interesting and cool! But I don't think Rumiko Takahashi put all that effort and thought in the band of seven...
She might have. Her whole writing style is to hyper focus on character design
I love when you analyze deeper meanings to a series with a historical lens! History has never been a strong point of study for me, but your videos inspire a hell of a lot of googling on my end ;D

Wow very interesting video. Love your perspective.
I thought they might be a perverse inversion of the heroic story of the Seven Samurai
As well a perverse inversion of Inu-gang. Furthermore, when they’ve met first time, they vere even - five against five)
Wait, did you just say you're a historian?! I'm an art historian! I feel kinda connected to you now haha
Huh...never thought them like this ö.Ö
Love yashaime and inuyasha
Inuyasha kicks of this band of seven arc
Wow 😳. You really went deep. I LIKE IT!
War is hell.
Nice contain again. thank you. I very enjoy those videos.
Basically thanks for the info on old
Japaniese culture.
Great video.
Here we go again with the saddest intro.
keep it up man!
Saddest intro?
@@AxelBeats the music man, its just sad. but great content man, keep it up!
Top notch
Great video! What kind of Inuyasha Tattoo are you planning on? I want one too 😁
Haven't decided yet! Have a few rough ideas but nothing set in stone
Always thought the band of 7 represented the 7 deadly sins. Interesting!
I find this fascinating since I personally thought the Band of 7 arc was such a drag
It was very interesting ! I didn’t know the great Band of Seven was much developed !!
They were my favorite characters
@@DemonKingBadger Yeah, for me too ! Bankotsu is in my Top 1 (with Jellal Fernandes from Fairy Tail) in my favourite Male Characters and I really love these antagonists !! Band of Seven is the best arc from Inu-Yasha !!

Can't wait to see the new yashahime
I really enjoy your Inuyasha content. Thank you for your hard work.
I am late for the first time T-T
Appreciate you coming either way!
Comment ❤
Don’t get an Inuyasha tattoo bro. To this day, I’m still glad i didn’t get a Naruto tatt. To each their own, but..🤷🏽♀️
Edit: if you insist on gettin a tatt of a dope ass protagonist, get a tatt of Guts wielding the Dragon Slayer🤤
It would look way more manlier too
I have a tonne of tattoos I love from all sorts of things. I've been wanting another one for a while, just needed a reason to actually go
AxelBeats! Can the Guts wielding the DS work as one?
These characters were the most interesting in the series, I always wished they got a spinoff anime of before they were killed.
Wait..Jakotsu was a male?? Cmon..what a waste..it would’ve been much hotter if she was a chic because I really miss Yura of the hair. 🥰
