Inu Yasha Character Study: Episode 13

Episode 13: Though it is important that you find out that Inu Yasha is not always half-demon all the time, it has some symbolic meaning as well in my point of view. Osho disguises himself to deceive a girl, whose parents he kills, to bringing Inu Yasha and the Shikon no Tama to him. This is similar to how Naraku deceives Inu Yasha and Kikyo into corrupting the Shikon no Tama for his purposes, which seems obvious, since Naraku's former form, Onigumo means "ogre-spider," like Osho's spider form and his minions. Note that, both use insects around these episodes. Also, Osho is a monk, like Miroku, who doesn't do everything that he should be, like being a lecher, instead of being a fake human; they both also use "sutras" to protect people from harms way... lol. Also it is similar to how Sango was manipulated to believing how evil Inu Yasha/youkai/hanyou are since both manipulated a warrior girl after destroying her village prior to the trap.
