During periods of war before the year 1600, Japan was often referred to as Sengoku times. It was during these eras that humans coexisted with supernatural beings known as Youkai or Mononoke. These entities, sometimes labeled as demons, monsters, or spirits, possessed various abilities and appearances, but they all shared a common trait: an intense desire for human flesh.
1) They frequently assault villages because of this, and people fear that someday one of them might target their own. Inu-Yasha is a unique creature – part demon, part human, often referred to as a hanyō.
One day, he launches an attack on the village guarding the Shikon Jewel, then snatches it and flees. The Shikon Jewel (whose true name is Shikon no Tamamaya) contains powers beyond comprehension, particularly amplifying the abilities of any demon who wields it.
