Jaken Falls Ill is another awesome anime only episode. It's Rin and Jaken centric with enough Sesshoumaru to consider it Rin-Jaken-Sesshoumaru. They're my favorite anime family.
Actually, Sara's death happened waay before Kagura's did in the manga. So, it seems the anime people and Takahashi were on the same page. My only problem with Sara was that she was far too Naraku like.
Also, was anyone else curious to hear what Sesshomaru's one true desire was, since it wasn't to own Tetsusaiga? I mean, I guess we're supposed to assume it's power or conquest, but I was thinking, what if it was just that he wanted his left arm back?
I've thought of that actually. Really, I don't think he ever truly wanted Tessaiga, not as much as the fans or Inuyasha himself would want to believe. Even fairly early, he was willing to throw his "claim" away for the sword if Toutousai would just make him another. Heh. Heck, even Sesshoumaru himself admits he's not sure why he wants Tessaiga.
I don't think it's the arm, either. Well, okay, I think he would like his arm back..who wouldn't? But I don't think it's anything he's dwelling on or anything that preoccupies his thoughts. If it was, I'd think he'd be more active looking for a replacement.
In truth, I think what Sesshoumaru really wants is to be left alone. He wants to wander the ends of the earth or Japan with Jaken and Rin and have no one bother him. Unfortunately, as of late, no one is really letting him do that. Part of it is his own fault, but mostly it's because people won't let him be.

Is such a wonderful episode. I melt everytime I watch the thing.

Thanks for clarifying Sara's versus Kagura's deaths for me. That is so weird then how they were both happy just to see Sesshomaru at the end.
We all know why Sesshomaru wanted the Tetsusaiga--classic case of sword envy. ;)
