So I am hoping there are inuyasha fans on the boards. I just had a question about inuyasha's sword. I am not very familiar with the show since I am more of a transformers fan (I have seen some episodes and know the basics of the main character being a demon etc. and having a sword that changes in shape). There is a girl that I am dating and she is a huge fan. I want to get her the sword for her birthday which is coming up but I am kind of confused regarding the sword. I went to an anime shop and they told me they had inuyasha's sword. It was a katana that had a blue hilt and was very sharpened. They wanted 150 for it. Then I look online and find a similar one (but I am assuming not sharpened) but this one has a brown hilt and is 40. I also see some that represent the sword in its enlarged form with the fur above the handle but they looked of inferior quality. I would like to know which is the real sword (blue hilt or brown hilt etc.) and what price should it be. Also any recommendations of good websites where to buy it would be great. thanks
Brown hilt. Blue hilt would likely be Sesshomaru's (Inuyasha's half-brother) Tenseiga; which she might also like...InuYasha fangirls are usually disturbingly fanatical about Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru is my favorite InuYasha character anyway you might not want to get that expensive, really sharp sword in case if you guys ever got into fight....
Wow did not know that. Not sure how to ask if she also likes sesshomaru without giving away the sword gift. She is also a huge conan the barbarian fan. Thanks for the avice Ilovedinobot but I think she has a replica of the conan sword so I am not safe either way. Good reason to be good to her
Are you into the series? I hate to say fake an interest if you are not, but you could always have her sit down and explain the series to you. Who her favorate characters are and why, that way you get a good base on how to judge your gift. From there you could always have her show you her favorite episodes and what not. But that's just 2 cents worth
