The List of Appearances

A list of all of Sesshoumaru's appearances. Yes, I have too much free time. This list started as notes for my fic (on what episodes Sesshoumaru and Rin were in, how those corresponded to the manga chapters). And then I figured, why not put it up? Maybe someone else will find it useful or interesting.

The episodes Sesshoumaru appears in are:
5, 6, 7, 18, 19, 34, 35, 44, 45, 51, 52, 66, 67, 75, 76, 77, 79, 80, 81, 96, 99,
104, 107, 111, 113, 114, 115, 116, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 133/134,
143, 144, 154, 155, 156, 157, 162, 166/167.
And 53, 65, 82, & 88 if you count flashbacks and Inuyasha's imagination.
And of course movie 1 for about 10 minutes, movie 2 for about 2 seconds, and movie 3 for half of it. And movie 4. And as some of you may know, this list of episodes will not get any longer, since the Inuyasha anime ended with episodes 166/167 on September 13, 2004.

Now, the table below lists his manga appearances, with the anime episode counterparts. Episodes 75, 76, 77, 96, 99, 133/134, & 162 are pure filler, and have no manga counterparts. The episodes listed below in parentheses go along with particular manga storylines, but do not actually happen in the manga. (Also, I did not include manga chapters on the list in which Sesshoumaru was shown in a flashback or memory.) The Shounen Sunday issue numbers, chapter numbers, and any translated chapter titles were all taken from Chris' site.

WARNING! SPOILERS!! Not only in the chapter titles, but also in the Reminder notes. This is an up to date list, so if you are not familiar with the most current manga, and do not wish to be, do not look at this.
