I'm saying "broad sweeps now, everything at a time when it is convenient to infodump the relevant information." That may or may not occur immediately post-battle.

Well, yes. I've heard the sound pronounced in Japanese; it's a long 'o,' give or take a little. But I wasn't sure I was remembering which word to use for the specific class of paranormal entity that Inuyasha is.

1. Time of info dump: Fair enough. I guess I hadn't thought ahead far enough to not just assume that "relatively soon after the battle" would work (not necessarily immediately after, since the battle site probably wouldn't be a good spot for that conversation). I assumed time to find a suitably private spot (which could be just a convenient roof somewhere), but not much more than that.

2. Inuyasha: I think he self-identifies mostly as a yokai, at least, so it's probably fair to use the term for him. That said, being half human means there are some differences from a full-blood yokai (I'm pretty sure his level of raw strength is lower, and I think there was something near the end of the series about preventing his yokai side from taking over, but my knowledge of the source material isn't extensive enough to give many details).

Yeah kagome is op. But we need her bow. That is her main way of weapon.

Also if they have some fragments of the jewel with them they indirectly could cause a problem during any future fight.

Can you go into detail about those problems from the Jewel? @Simon_Jester and I aren't familiar enough with that source material to understand.

Or would this be spoilers and taking advantage of out of character knowledge?

Ok the jewel is the mcguffin of the series, its creation is a little too much for me now that i remember, But it hans tons and tons of power. A lot OF power.

Weak yokai and human getting op powers just with a small fragment of it. Resurrecting the dead, etc. It's not a big spoiler because a lot of the things that are moved of inuyasha are moved from it.

The problem is that should any of the big bads or monster of the week get even one little fragment of the jewel, we could end haveing a pseudo boss fight, of course that depends of what Lunaris says. In some of the chapters, the effect caused by the jewel are so so, that maybe it would not be so bad.

In the end the only way i can say to bring a fragment of the Jewel (Shikon?), Is the same as trowing a dice, or paying roulette, or even russian rulette. That mcguffin is too powerfull.(and some of the monster of the week in inuyasha are caused by a fragment being stealed, picked up or lost)

Edit. By the way should i put in spoilers things like this?, Again what i posted is not a big spoiler.

I would prefer not to tell IC strangers anything beyond the absolute necessary minimum, but broad sweeps it seems to be.

Recruit them as allies, then, but given that the majority of their focus is in Inuyasha's own era, they are going to be seldom available as such. I just hope that they do not try to drag the Senshi into their problems with Naraku. The Senshi do not have time to waste over such a relatively trivial matter.

Honestly telling them everything seems like something that'd be better off being done if they continue to assist us in future and become allies. But for now it would be best to just stick with what they'd need to fight the Youma effectively.So we've seen Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha, so I have to ask will any other series be included? Cause I'm half expecting Tenchi and the gang to make an appearance at this point.

Huh, if it's that strong and can give people such power boosts, I wonder how it compares to the Silver Crystal
It's also been shattered into a million pieces and still each Shard empowers the wielder by an order of magnitude.
Hundreds, maybe thousands according to the wiki.

And fairly sure the Silver Crystal is still more powerful. It can do anything the Shikon no Tama could, but on a universal scale. Also, the shards could only resurrect people while they were embedded in them from what I can find.

[X][Tell] Explain Everything

Think it might be better to just lay all the cards on the table. Take it or leave it.

In-universe, we don't actually know how crazy it'd sound to those aware of magic. Reincarnation is a common thing in religions and stories, afterall, so reincarnation might be a known phenomena for them. The "colonized other planets" and "aliens" would thus logically be the more likely bits that make them look crazy.

It feels like the vote is already set.

It's weird how, since Sailor Moon was the first "Magical Girl", the concept doesnt actually exist in-universe.

Not quite.

The first magical heroine in Japanese TV anime debuted in 1966 with the program Mahōtsukai Sarī (Sally the Witch). In this animated series, a little princess from the Magic Kingdom arrives in the world of humans in the guise of a girl named Yumeno Sally and creates a stir with her special powers.

No, I meant Magical Girl in the sense of a figthing girl who transforms and uses magic to fight enemies. Sailor Moon was the first one.

In that case.

The starting point for the Magical Girl genre is the manga Princess Knight, created by Osamu "God of Manga" Tezuka (most famously known for works like Astro Boy). Beginning life as a manga series in 1953, Princess Knight was adapted into anime in 1967 and is also a notable early example of Shoujo. While historians agree that Princess Knight is not really a Magical Girl, it's generally accepted as the earliest prototype for one of the genre's key archetypes - the "Magical Girl Warrior," made more famous decades later by the hugely popular Sailor Moon franchise.

You're missing the point.

The term and concept of Magical Girl did not exist.
Saying that there's earlier examples that kind of fit doesnt mean the term itself was a thing.

It's like how stories of people taken to other worlds existed way before Isekai was a term, or how Don Quijote existed hundreds of yaers before the term Chuunibyo.
