Inuyasha the Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler (2003)

Inuyasha the Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler is the best one so far. Considering my ratings, make of this what you will. It still doesn’t add anything to the franchise, feels like nothing more than an extended TV episode, and if you don’t see it, you won't bee missing out on anything.

The story begins before the events of the series when Inuyasha's father is slain by a samurai named Takemaru (voiced by Jonathan Holmes). In the aftermath of the battle, a mysterious cursed sword appears. When the So'unga is rediscovered in the present day, Takemaru is resurrected. InuYasha (voiced by Richard Ian Cox) must team up with his cruel brother Sesshomaru (David Kaye) and, with the help of Kagome (Moneca Stori), Sango (Kelly Sheridan), and Miroku (Kirby Morrow) defeat this new menace before he opens the doorway to the underworld.

This movie's plot is more interesting than the previous two's. A demonic sword as the villain is a novel idea. The revelations about the characters' past history bring in new facets of the characters and some nice meaty drama. Now, the brothers who hate each other will have to find a way to team up in order to defeat the opponent who killed their father. Speaking of the So'unga/Takemaru combo, they're a fearsome threat. The blade can corrupt people and resurrect the dead. Wielded by a skilled warrior, it unleashes devastating attacks and brings the downed foes back as part of a growing army of zombies.

While this story introduces new characters that ultimately won't affect the series, they're well integrated in the series' mythology. The existing character dynamics are expanded upon in a satisfying way. Some plot points fans believed buried are brought back in a way that's pretty clever. There are some good ideas here.

The picture's flaws can be divided into two categories. The first are inherent to this franchise, the second are typical of nearly all of these anime-the-movie productions.

In both the show and Swords of an Honorable Ruler it’s obvious the lecherous Miroku’s special ability, the black hole in the palm of his hand is way, wayyyy too powerful a weapon. Any screenwriter must be cursing the manga’s creator because every single time, they have to find a way to prevent him from being able to use it. He should be unbeatable, like someone armed with a flamethrower in caveman times, instead, some new thing hobbles the monk. It leads us to the next problem: too many characters and too many with nothing to do. It’s not enough that we have four main characters, an anti-hero and two villains in the movie, but we have 5 supporting characters whose roles basically consist of comic relief. They never get any new jokes either and it gets tiresome quickly.

The second category of problems I’ve addressed before. End of the day, this story means nothing. The characters don't advance, nothing introduced will stick around, the animation isn’t on a level that you couldn’t get on TV, and the material hasn’t matured either. Plenty of other movies have an impact on the show, wrap up a big storyline, or give you something new. Powerpuff Girls: The Movie introduced us to a story that took place before the show started, Transformers: The Movie killed off and introduced dozens of characters. Star Trek: The Motion Picture had new kinds of visuals and effects that we hadn’t seen before. To pay to see this in theaters is to get swindled.

I'm nostalgic for Inuyasha and have some affection for this movie as well. If you do too and you HAVE to watch at least one of the movies, make it this one. This "recommendation" comes with an asterisk. You must be a big fan of the show beforehand. If you are and you see this one at home for the price of a rental at most, you’ll like it more than not.

I am so saddened to hear about the passing of #KirbyMorrow was a delight - as a fan he was so kind to me. A decade later, as a fellow Guest of Honor at #SciFiOnTheRock he was generous, funny, a great storyteller and a hoot to be Screeched In with. I enjoyed our dinners and gossip sessions very much. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHy26YYA5sb/?igshid=1rls6z6l794mm

Now we all speak sadly of @Kirbymorrow, when at this moment we should think that he is already in a beautiful place! where he will spend the rest of his life as a light! an angel! 😇🕊 ° ° Ahora todos hablamos con tristeza de @Kirbymorrow, cuando en este momento deberiamos pensar que ya esta en un lugar precioso! en el que va a pasar el resto de su vida como una luz! un ángel! 😇🕊 ° ° #ninjago #ninjagoactorvoice #kirbymorrow #kirbymorrowcole #ninjagokirbymorrow #angel #lego #legoninjago #ninjagolego #ninjagocole #colebrook #colehence #colebucket #colebrookstone #cole #ninja #blackninja #colemasterofearth #masterofearth #legokirbymorrow #legoart #art #legostagram #draw #legofan #legoangel #fabyart #fabyarte #fabycolette77 #fabycolette https://www.instagram.com/p/CIbWc2FJWkW/?igshid=18gbtgfmsqh6f

This post sucks. Because I shouldn't have to write about a friend who just passed. I shouldn't have to think about the great times shared only in the past tense. I shouldn't be have to grieve the loss of such a warm, and generous, and supremely talented soul. I shouldn't. It's not fair. Younger than me. Undoubtedly cooler. More witty and charming and effortlessly gifted than most of us could ever hope to be. He was there for my first voice directing gig; a jovial pro with the patience of a Saint, especially for too-serious boneheads like me. And the truth is, years later when I was casting my little indie thing, I assumed he was way outta my league. That a guy like him -- hovering like a golden god, smirking down on us all from the stratosphere -- would only take on such an insane and thankless task, orchestrated by some mad poetry-slinging wanker, if he could make serious bank...while treating it all like a joke. That's the only way landing THE Kirby Morrow made any sense to me. I was wrong. Christ, was I wrong. He brought MAGIC. Again and Again. And all I could do was sit and listen and shake my head in awe. And then we became friends. And then time passed. And now he's gone too fucking soon. #RIP brother.

I almost drank my Sake gift wrapped box which I was saving for this Christmas. Losing one of my favorite voice actors whom I’ve known since I was 12 is gonna be hard on me for a few days. #xmenevolution #inuyasha #mourning #honoringmemories #kirbymorrow https://www.instagram.com/p/CHzBxMWAkCB/?igshid=1lr16s6h72ccl

Just finished up my print for @fourstatecomiccon for their show on March 21-22 for @realkirbymorrow . I hope you all like it. The process for this one took me some time since I don't often draw Dragonball z characters. But maybe I should try to more often. #kirbymorrow #voiceactor #voiceartist #dragonballz #dragonball #dragonballsuper #goku #songoku #namek #saiyan #art #myart #worksinprogress #hagerstown #fourstatecomiccon2020 #fourstatecomiccon #instaartist #instgram #instaart #new https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MnJpchyxV/?igshid=188lybwugs1yc

Nooooooooooooooooooo :( *sniff* rip my friend There is no Cole without you.

[darlinglum]

I was in shock when I first heard the news. He was in one of my favorite childhood anime series, one that initially got me into anime. I'll never forget his acting as Miroku, as well as in his other roles and how impactful they were. R.I.P. KirbyMorrow, we'll never forget you 🌻

[alanaartdream]

I am super late in finding out #kirbymorrow (the voice actor for Cole from ninjago) has passed and as a fan of ninjago I feel I must draw something in honour of him; even though I’d super late so had to try draw Cole ✍️✏️
