The Thunder Brothers Hiten and Manten are used for analogously with Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha in many ways:
Manten is ashamed of having no hair, which is similar to how Inu Yasha is ashamed of only being hanyou. Hiten however, also has similarities to Inu Yasha, because though, unlike Inu Yasha, he is more similar to his great father's structure, he is more similar in the fact that he is more human looking and Inu Yasha may also being the stronger of the two brothers due to the fact that he looks and cares for humans.
The episode has a better emphasis on families as we observe how Shippo mourns over the death for his father and how the Hiten mourns over his younger brother, Manten's death, despite the fact that Hiten considers Manten an idiot and Manten still can not go over the fact that he does not have hair. Much like a Cyrano de Bergerac scenario like in episode 8.
