Him getting his arm back bugged me as well. No one else got back things they'd lost like that, even people who were innocent and just hurt by Naraku, but Sesshoumaru got it back despite the fact that its loss was his fault entirely (and despite the fact that he still treated his brother badly, the reason he lost it in the first place). It was such blatant favoritism on the part of the author. It really did kind of kill his character for me.
