Glossery of Inu-Yasha Terms, Words and Attacks (For those of you who don't know)

Okay...the reason I created this page was because some newbies to Inu-Yasha were asking me questions like "Whut's a 'you-kai'?" that is when I made this page. To all the other newbies out there, this might be of some help. I can't find the time to do all of the Inu-Yasha words so don't sue me if some are missing. See 'ya! Sailor Fusion

Tetsusaiga- Inu-Yasha's precious sword, created from his father's fang. It was once said to be unbreakable. It posseses the power to slay a hundred demons and can transform to be larger.

Hanyou- the Japansese word for half-demon, what Inu-Yasha is.

Youkai- the Japanese word for demon, what Sesshomaru is.

Tensaiga- Sesshomaru's healing sword. It can't cut but it makes Sesshomaru invincible. It was also forged from their father's fang. It can heal a hundred people in one swing.

Shikon no Tama, the Shikon Jewel, the Jewel of Four souls- this is a magical stone with gives power to magical beings and some evil humans. It grows with power as it is used for evil. Inu-Yasha once wanted it to become a human and also to become a fully fledged demon.(I don't know which one) It was protected by Kikyo, who died for it. Then stupid Kagome(sorry, I think Kagome is a twit) broke it. The group is now looking for it's many shards.

Sengoku Jidai, Muromachi- the time period where Inu-Yasha takes place, beside's Kagome's time.

Sango- coral in Japanese

Iron Reaver Soul Stealer- one of Inu-Yasha's attacks that involves him slicing his enemy w/ his sharp claws.

Hiraikotsu(I hope I spelled that right)- Sango's boomerang that she carries on her back and uses as a weapon.

Inu-Yasha -dog-demon in Japanese, I think but everyone tells me I'm wrong so it might mean demon or just dog...who really cares what his name means, I like his character for who he is on the inside.(I know that sounded really cheezey)

Shinto-  That's Kagome's religon I believe. I really dunno.
