Powers/Weapons: Tessaiga and his claws
Tessaiga's attacks
1)Wind Scar-A special attack that can kill 100 yōkai with one strike. Inuyasha first used this attack by accident, but eventually learned to see the Wind Scar. This attack uses the collision of yōkai winds between two enemies to create a path ("the scar") to unleash an attack of cutting wind
2)Backlash Wave-The Tessaiga's ogi (or ultimate technique). Uses the opponent's strong yōki and the Kaze no Kizu to return the attack, magnified hundreds of times. With this movement of the Tessaiga, he forms enormous charging twisters that sucks the foes power into the "Wind Scar" and forces it to flow backwards. The wind and the power twist together into a vortex, pushing it backwards and the enemy is attacked by its own yōki and Tessaiga's might combined. But to use it, he must see where to cut the yōkai's aura and have strong enough "ki" himself to overpower his foes
3)Red-colored Tessaiga-Gained from the blood of Taigokumaru which was absorbed into Shiori's orb. This technique renders barriers including Naraku's for a while useless. When being used, Tessaiga glows red
4)Adamant Barrage-Attack gained from Hosenki after Naraku had used the shard to make him fight Inuyasha. After defeating the diamond yōkai with the power to obliterate any type of barrier
5)Dragon Scaled Tessaiga-This attack involves one half of Tessaiga being covered in large dragon scales. This move is different from the rest because it absorbs yōki instead of causing direct damage to an opponent. Inuyasha gained this attack when a sword smith that got possessed by a sword forged from a yōkai's scale, named Datsuki, attacked Inuyasha
Sheath of Tessaiga: Can deflect energy attacks with the barrier used to contain Tessaiga's power. It is also capable of returning the Tessaiga to Inuyasha's hands when they become separated. The sheath is capable of resisting any amount of offensive force; however, if that force is used continuously then the sheath will crack. This is why it was able to hold off Sesshomaru’s Sōryūha since it was an attack that was only unleashed once, but couldn’t hold off Hiten’s thunder attacks which were of weaker power than the Sōryūha, since he was unleashing them constantly.
Beads of Subjugation (Kotodama no Nenju): The beads around Inuyasha's neck are activated if Kagome says to Inuyasha, "Sit" (おすわり, Osuwari?) (As one would say to a dog as a command.) Once activated, the Beads become heavy enough to force Inuyasha to his knee's, or even fracture his back. Once used as a way to control him, it is not used often anymore, and only as comic relief, or by accident. The Kotodama no Nenju is introduced in the very first manga as a spiritual device to control Inuyasha. It was originally intended to keep Inuyasha from killing or hurting Kagome
Physical Abilities
Inuyasha's yōkai blood gives him superhuman strength. No upper limit has yet been shown in the canon, but, according to the Zusetsutaizen Ōgikaiden official character data book, he is at least strong enough to easily lift a boulder with a diameter greater than the height of his body over his head with one hand, and then run many miles with it. Something like that is easily eight to ten tons on the weight scale. Inu yasha's speed has been shown to easily exceed that of a normal horse; possibly as fast as, if not faster than, a cheetah. Due to the speed he can accumulate in his runs, added with his incredible strength, he is able to cross great distances with a single jump. Altogether, this creates the illusion that he is flying every time he leaps. The Ōgikaiden says he can reach the top of tall cliffs with a single leap as well. Inuyasha's stamina likewise far exceeds human standards. He is shown to be able to run tremendous distances at tremendous speeds with minimal effort, and is often seen complaining about how his comparatively weaker human companions always slow him down by needing to rest so much every day.While his fire-rat robe provides additional protection, a power afforded to anyone wearing it (such as whenever Inuyasha gives his robe to Kagome for protection), Inuyasha's physique is capable of taking a lot of damage, more than the average human, or even most yōkai. He appears unaffected by severe blunt force trauma, able to withstand a direct blow from a wooden log that broke on contact, and unfazed by the tremendous impact of being thrown hard enough to shatter solid rock. He also possesses tremendous resistance to sharp weapons, able to withstand attacks that slice through trees. While he can be injured by more powerful yōkai and holy weapons, he appears invulnerable to most human ones, able to catch normal arrows out of the air and break steel swords with his bare hands. Even without his fire-rat robe, he has shown the ability to withstand direct contact with fire and tremendous heat, as well as corrosive substances like acid. When injured, he heals far more rapidly than a human, so much so that attacks powerful enough to severely injure him are rarely fatal, as they would be to humans, if they sustained an equivalent injury. For example, he recovered quickly from numerous serious attacks, including a large fist-sized hole punched through his gut. Unfortunately for Inuyasha, his tongue is still susceptible to being burned by curry
Physical Techniques
Exorcising Claws of Steel (散魂鉄爪, Sankon Tessō?) (Viz's name: Iron Reaver Soul Stealer): Inuyasha's basic claw attack is powerful enough to tear apart iron, making it easy for him to rip his enemies in half.
Hijin Kessō (Blades of Blood, 飛刃血爪?, Hijin Kessō): Inuyasha's blood, when combined with the "Exorcising Claws of Steel", does damage when thrown. With this attack, he is able to attack his enemies from afar instead of in close combat. Inuyasha splashes his own blood on the end of his claws and flings them like multiple shurikens to cleave his foes in two. In the later fights with the yōkai ninja, it appeared that he used the blood of his enemy to use the Blades of Blood. But this is unconfirmed.
Time Travel: This technique basically involves Inuyasha jumping down the “Bone Eater’s Well” and traveling back and forth 500 years from the future. How this is done has not been explained and is one of the series most talked about plotholes. There are many theories and the anime only gives clues and allows for inference. It is very possible that it involves spiritual power or simply will power or his connection with Kagome, but it is also said that a shard of the Jewel of Four Souls is needed
Relationships
Kagome - The heroine of the story. Although their interaction was initially very adversarial, Kagome and Inu-Yasha have become very close over time, and Kagome's kindness and acceptance of Inu-Yasha has had a noticeable effect on his attitude. Although they are commonly seen arguing, they clearly care for one another. Even when they've pretty much fallen in love, Kagome was the one who said it first in the 2nd movie when Inuyasha was in his demon form and that is how she woke him up after that they both shared their first kiss (anime only) even though Inu-Yasha and Kikyo kissed each other before Kagome was born. This is the primary relationship in the series, yet he still cares about his past love Kikyo, which is understandable due to their common past.
Shippo - InuYasha is continually annoyed by this yōkai-fox, who is rather smart for his age. Their interaction consists mostly of Shippo annoying InuYasha and the han'yō then hitting him and being scolded by Kagome for it. However, InuYasha does care for Shippo and encourages him when really necessary. Shippo once cried when he thought InuYasha had been killed, and then hugged him while still in tears when he found out that he was still alive. Shippo, like InuYasha, is an orphan, and the two often fight like siblings.
Miroku - Even though Miroku is a lecherous monk, InuYasha clearly respects Miroku for his skills, powers, and knowledge. Each knows he can trust the other with his life if need be. Also, Miroku is the only male companion of InuYasha with whom he doesn't always bicker. Whenever Miroku is sucking Naraku's poisonous wasps (saimyōshō) into his Kaza'ana or otherwise putting himself in danger to help his friends, InuYasha forces him to stop these dangerous acts. Once he even promised to rip Miroku's arm off if he tried to open his Kaza'ana again (as doing so would have resulted in Miroku's death)--InuYasha's way of saying that he cares. More recently, in the manga, Miroku almost got himself killed trying to suck in Naraku but was stopped by InuYasha.
Sango - InuYasha respects Sango's strength as a fighter, to the point that he was actually the one to ask her to join them in their quest to defeat Naraku. He went out of his way--in his blunt and awkward fashion--to help take her mind off her troubles after she first joined them. After she initially joins, Sango proves to be a very worthy companion and often fights side by side with InuYasha, and her Yōkai hunting skills prove to be a valuable asset in hunting down Naraku. Sango really only fights with InuYasha when her brother Kohaku joins them for a bit with no memory of Naraku and InuYasha doesn't trust him and thinks it's all an act, while Sango takes on the defensive side and argues for her brother. InuYasha also stopped Sango from killing Kohaku and often comforts when she starts feeling blue, assuring her that they'll get him back. This has given hope to Sango and she now believes that she doesn't have to kill her brother to free him because of InuYasha's interference. Sango has stated that she doesn't have a preference for which form InuYasha is in and will stand by him no matter what. This statement is often part of the basis for fanfiction pairings between Inuyasha and Sango.
Kikyo - When Kikyo was brought back in a body of clay by the yōkai Urasue, she was filled with the anger and bitterness which had consumed her when she died, and she acted with hostility toward both Inuyasha and Kagome. Over the course of the series, Kikyo has gradually become more and more like the shrine maiden she was before her death. Threats to her safety make InuYasha react without much thought for the consequences to himself or the effect it has on Kagome. As Kikyo dies in InuYasha's arms, it left him depressed and lost as a result.
Sesshomaru - InuYasha's older half-brother, a full-demon who is also son of the Great Inu Yōkai. He doesn't like the fact that InuYasha wields Tessaiga and he was stuck with Tenseiga. The two openly hate each other. InuYasha loathes Sesshomaru because Sesshomaru tried to take his sword. And Sesshomaru loathes Inu-Yasha because InuYasha is a mere half-demon. Sesshomaru also considers himself innately superior to Inuyasha by merit of being a yōkai. Sesshomaru is another of the most popular characters of InuYasha.
However, there have been multiple times where Sesshomaru has told InuYasha that he was going to kill him. During such times, Sesshomaru almost always defeats InuYasha, yet he decidedly NEVER kills InuYasha. This signifies that Sesshomaru still likes InuYasha, but being a full demon and the son of a great lord, it's hard for him to show that to him.
Koga - InuYasha and Koga have a very complex relationship. They are often seen bickering over Kagome, something that is often used for comical purposes in the series. However, they have aided each other in the battlefield on more than one occasion; InuYasha even saved him from Kagura by using his wind scar attack, which would have destroyed her had Naraku not intervened, and managed to bring him back to safety after he was almost melted by Naraku's shōki in liquid form. Koga has also never revealed to Naraku that InuYasha loses his powers once a month, because during that time it would be easy for Naraku to dispatch him since he is in human form and can't use the Tessaiga. In a recent manga chapter following Kikyo's death, Koga helps to snap InuYasha out of his grieving, reminding him that he is not the only one suffering. An odd blend of friendship, respect, annoyance, and rivalry, the fate of their relationship remains to be seen. As InuYasha has sometimes been regarded in fanfiction as the previous Incarnation of Ranma from Ranma ½, some fans have toyed with the possibility that Koga is the previous incarnation of Ryoga. Again, this is mainly due to some physical similarities between the two, such as their fangs and most notably the fact that both of their wear headbands (or a bandanna, in Ryoga's case)
Myōga - This yōkai-flea was a loyal servant of InuYasha's father. He now acts as InuYasha's retainer. He often provides Inuyasha with information on his enemies and on ways to upgrade his sword in order to defeat them. However, he will often flee from battles, and mysteriously reappears in a safer place in the area, or after the danger has passed. Though useful, he is constantly getting squished and once Kagome even sprayed him with flea spray.
Totosai - This is the sword smith who forged Inuyasha's Tessaiga and Sesshomaru's Tenseiga. He often gives InuYasha advice on how to better use the power of his sword. Indeed, all of InuYasha's achievements in strength (other than physical) can be credited to Totosai. He was also a servant of InuYasha's father, like Myoga. He, Myoga and Saya seem to have been best friends all serving under the great general. InuYasha tends to act less than appreciative of Totosai's help, frequently smacking him over the head for one idiocy or another. Still, InuYasha has gone to Totosai for aid several times, demonstrating that underneath all the irritation, he does respect the swordsmith.
Sota - Sota sees InuYasha as a role model, due to his father being deceased, and tries to spend time with him when he is in the modern age. Sota even calls Inuyasha "Inu no nii-chan" (dog brother). Sota and InuYasha seem to be getting closer and closer as once him and InuYasha even took a bath together; the deal being that Sota will wash InuYasha's back if he does the same for him. This ended with InuYasha running out of the bath tub naked with Sota and landed in front of a horrified Kagome. (Note: Despite what many fans consider to be a display of homosexuality, in Japanese culture it is considered perfectly acceptable to give a child a bath in such a way, though it is usually done by family, further proving the two character's growing closeness).
Bankotsu - Even though he was his enemy, InuYasha understood Bankotsu's desire to be strong. After InuYasha kills him he tells Bankotsu that he was "too greedy" and that "his bare hands would have been enough" to beat him. Later when Naraku insults Bankotsu, InuYasha, who was angered by the way he had used Bankotsu, tells Naraku that even though he was evil, Bankotsu had more honour than Naraku ever had.
Jinenji - He is the polar opposite of Inuyasha, in that he is able to show compassion to both friends and enemies, even though he too has been badly mistreated by humans and yōkai alike. InuYasha felt a need to encourage Jinenji to stand up to his oppressors, and in the end managed to get the villagers to stop abusing him.
Kinka and Ginka - These two yōkai brothers wielded the power of fire and lightening. Their relationship was very similar to the relationship that InuYasha has with Sesshomaru. In the end, their contempt for each other lead to their deaths at the hands of Moryomaru. InuYasha apologized for having dragged them into his struggle with Moryomaru, and perhaps even got a glimpse of what future awaits him and Sesshomaru if they continue despising each other.
History:InuYasha is a reckless han'yō, the result of a relationship between a powerful dog demon lord and a beautiful human princess. Orphaned at a young age, and despised by both Yōkai and humans, InuYasha had a sad childhood. He is rejected by humans because of his yōkai side and looked down upon by yōkai as a "filthy half-breed" because his human blood supposedly taints his superior yōkai blood. Thus, before InuYasha met Kikyo, he found it very difficult to trust anyone, and even more to find anyone who accepted him as a han'yō.
Two hundred years later, he met Kikyo and started to attack her to get Jewel of the Four Souls to become a full yōkai. However, Kikyo, whom InuYasha developed feelings for, talked him into becoming human. Another han'yō, formerly a human known only as Onigumo, but now called Naraku, made them believe they betrayed each other. Because of Naraku's schemes, and their own lack of faith in each other, their relationship ended when InuYasha broke into Kikyo's village and stole the Jewel of the Four Souls. In defense of the village, and to keep him from escaping with the Jewel, Kikyo fired a Fuin no Ya at InuYasha, sealing him to the Goshinboku in an eternal enchanted sleep. Moments afterward, Kikyo collapses from a wound she received from Naraku -- though at first the viewer is lead to believe that InuYasha wounded her -- and dies within a few short moments. Part of her final instructions to her sister Kaede was to have the Jewel burned with her body so that it would travel to Hell with her.
50 years later, Inuyasha was released from the tree by Kagome Higurashi, the reincarnation of Kikyo from 500 years in the future, who unknowingly carried the Jewel of the Four Souls inside her body (this is due to Kikyo being burned with the Jewel, but also makes reference to Midoriko, the creator of the Jewel). When he was finished with Kumade Jōrō (Mistress Centipede), he tried to steal the Jewel but ends up with the Beads of Subjugation around his neck. When Kagome says "Sit" (おすわり, Osuwari?) his head plunges to the ground. Kagome accidentally shattered the Jewel when shooting at Shibugarasu trying to flee with it, and the shards were scattered around Japan. InuYasha, Kagome, and their friends then began the search for the shards of the Jewel of the Four Souls.
He is introduced as an antagonist when, upon his revival, he attempts to kill Kagome in order to take the Shikon Jewel. He becomes more civil as time progresses, losing some of his more "demonic" qualities and becoming much more human. He maintains a crass, blunt, rude attitude towards everyone except Kagome and Kikyo, and to a lesser degree the rest of his companions (with the possible exception of Shippo). He is brutaly honest when it comes to dealing with emotional hardships (as long as they are not his), and always tries to take the most direct route possible in solving any problem, which usually involves blowing something up or shredding it.
InuYasha is offended when someone calls him a dog or suggests that he is inferior to yōkai, due to his human parentage. However his father was such a great demon that Inu-Yasha is superior to most full-blooded demons even though his mother was human.Once a month he loss his powers and becomes a human it only accurse during the night of the new moon there are also times in which his demon blood takes over and his human heart is overtaken by his demon blood and forgets everything he knew as his normal self and becomes a killing machine that will only stop when he is killed this only happens when his life is in danger and the Tessaiga is not in reach Kagome is the only one to bring him out of this state.

Physical Techniques
Exorcising Claws of Steel (散魂鉄爪, Sankon Tessō?) (Viz's name: Iron Reaver Soul Stealer): Inuyasha's basic claw attack is powerful enough to tear apart iron, making it easy for him to rip his enemies in half.
Hijin Kessō (Blades of Blood, 飛刃血爪?, Hijin Kessō): Inuyasha's blood, when combined with the "Exorcising Claws of Steel", does damage when thrown. With this attack, he is able to attack his enemies from afar instead of in close combat. Inuyasha splashes his own blood on the end of his claws and flings them like multiple shurikens to cleave his foes in two. In the later fights with the yōkai ninja, it appeared that he used the blood of his enemy to use the Blades of Blood. But this is unconfirmed.

More recently, in the manga, Miroku almost got himself killed trying to suck in Naraku but was stopped by InuYasha.
Sango - InuYasha respects Sango's strength as a fighter, to the point that he was actually the one to ask her to join them in their quest to defeat Naraku. He went out of his way--in his blunt and awkward fashion--to help take her mind off her troubles after she first joined them. After she initially joins, Sango proves to be a very worthy companion and often fights side by side with InuYasha, and her Yōkai hunting skills prove to be a valuable asset in hunting down Naraku. Sango really only fights with InuYasha when her brother Kohaku joins them for a bit with no memory of Naraku and InuYasha doesn't trust him and thinks it's all an act, while Sango takes on the defensive side and argues for her brother. InuYasha also stopped Sango from killing Kohaku and often comforts when she starts feeling blue, assuring her that they'll get him back. This has given hope to Sango and she now believes that she doesn't have to kill her brother to free him because of InuYasha's interference. Sango has stated that she doesn't have a preference for which form InuYasha is in and will stand by him no matter what. This statement is often part of the basis for fanfiction pairings between Inuyasha and Sango.
Kikyo - When Kikyo was brought back in a body of clay by the yōkai Urasue, she was filled with the anger and bitterness which had consumed her when she died, and she acted with hostility toward both Inuyasha and Kagome. Over the course of the series, Kikyo has gradually become more and more like the shrine maiden she was before her death. Threats to her safety make InuYasha react without much thought for the consequences to himself or the effect it has on Kagome. As Kikyo dies in InuYasha's arms, it left him depressed and lost as a result.
Sesshomaru - InuYasha's older half-brother, a full-demon who is also son of the Great Inu Yōkai. He doesn't like the fact that InuYasha wields Tessaiga and he was stuck with Tenseiga. The two openly hate each other. InuYasha loathes Sesshomaru because Sesshomaru tried to take his sword. And Sesshomaru loathes Inu-Yasha because InuYasha is a mere half-demon. Sesshomaru also considers himself innately superior to Inuyasha by merit of being a yōkai. Sesshomaru is another of the most popular characters of InuYasha.
However, there have been multiple times where Sesshomaru has told InuYasha that he was going to kill him. During such times, Sesshomaru almost always defeats InuYasha, yet he decidedly NEVER kills InuYasha. This signifies that Sesshomaru still likes InuYasha, but being a full demon and the son of a great lord, it's hard for him to show that to him.
Koga - InuYasha and Koga have a very complex relationship. They are often seen bickering over Kagome, something that is often used for comical purposes in the series. However, they have aided each other in the battlefield on more than one occasion; InuYasha even saved him from Kagura by using his wind scar attack, which would have destroyed her had Naraku not intervened, and managed to bring him back to safety after he was almost melted by Naraku's shōki in liquid form.

Again, this is mainly due to some physical similarities between the two, such as their fangs and most notably the fact that both of their wear headbands (or a bandanna, in Ryoga's case)
Myōga - This yōkai-flea was a loyal servant of InuYasha's father. He now acts as InuYasha's retainer. He often provides Inuyasha with information on his enemies and on ways to upgrade his sword in order to defeat them. However, he will often flee from battles, and mysteriously reappears in a safer place in the area, or after the danger has passed. Though useful, he is constantly getting squished and once Kagome even sprayed him with flea spray.
Totosai - This is the sword smith who forged Inuyasha's Tessaiga and Sesshomaru's Tenseiga. He often gives InuYasha advice on how to better use the power of his sword. Indeed, all of InuYasha's achievements in strength (other than physical) can be credited to Totosai. He was also a servant of InuYasha's father, like Myoga. He, Myoga and Saya seem to have been best friends all serving under the great general. InuYasha tends to act less than appreciative of Totosai's help, frequently smacking him over the head for one idiocy or another. Still, InuYasha has gone to Totosai for aid several times, demonstrating that underneath all the irritation, he does respect the swordsmith.
Sota - Sota sees InuYasha as a role model, due to his father being deceased, and tries to spend time with him when he is in the modern age. Sota even calls Inuyasha "Inu no nii-chan" (dog brother). Sota and InuYasha seem to be getting closer and closer as once him and InuYasha even took a bath together; the deal being that Sota will wash InuYasha's back if he does the same for him. This ended with InuYasha running out of the bath tub naked with Sota and landed in front of a horrified Kagome. (Note: Despite what many fans consider to be a display of homosexuality, in Japanese culture it is considered perfectly acceptable to give a child a bath in such a way, though it is usually done by family, further proving the two character's growing closeness).
Bankotsu - Even though he was his enemy, InuYasha understood Bankotsu's desire to be strong. After InuYasha kills him he tells Bankotsu that he was "too greedy" and that "his bare hands would have been enough" to beat him. Later when Naraku insults Bankotsu, InuYasha, who was angered by the way he had used Bankotsu, tells Naraku that even though he was evil, Bankotsu had more honour than Naraku ever had.
Jinenji - He is the polar opposite of Inuyasha, in that he is able to show compassion to both friends and enemies, even though he too has been badly mistreated by humans and yōkai alike. InuYasha felt a need to encourage Jinenji to stand up to his oppressors, and in the end managed to get the villagers to stop abusing him.
Kinka and Ginka - These two yōkai brothers wielded the power of fire and lightening. Their relationship was very similar to the relationship that InuYasha has with Sesshomaru. In the end, their contempt for each other lead to their deaths at the hands of Moryomaru. InuYasha apologized for having dragged them into his struggle with Moryomaru, and perhaps even got a glimpse of what future awaits him and Sesshomaru if they continue despising each other.
History:InuYasha is a reckless han'yō, the result of a relationship between a powerful dog demon lord and a beautiful human princess. Orphaned at a young age, and despised by both Yōkai and humans, InuYasha had a sad childhood. He is rejected by humans because of his yōkai side and looked down upon by yōkai as a "filthy half-breed" because his human blood supposedly taints his superior yōkai blood. Thus, before InuYasha met Kikyo, he found it very difficult to trust anyone, and even more to find anyone who accepted him as a han'yō.
Two hundred years later, he met Kikyo and started to attack her to get Jewel of the Four Souls to become a full yōkai. However, Kikyo, whom InuYasha developed feelings for, talked him into becoming human. Another han'yō, formerly a human known only as Onigumo, but now called Naraku, made them believe they betrayed each other. Because of Naraku's schemes, and their own lack of faith in each other, their relationship ended when InuYasha broke into Kikyo's village and stole the Jewel of the Four Souls. In defense of the village, and to keep him from escaping with the Jewel, Kikyo fired a Fuin no Ya at InuYasha, sealing him to the Goshinboku in an eternal enchanted sleep. Moments afterward, Kikyo collapses from a wound she received from Naraku -- though at first the viewer is lead to believe that InuYasha wounded her -- and dies within a few short moments. Part of her final instructions to her sister Kaede was to have the Jewel burned with her body so that it would travel to Hell with her.
50 years later, Inuyasha was released from the tree by Kagome Higurashi, the reincarnation of Kikyo from 500 years in the future, who unknowingly carried the Jewel of the Four Souls inside her body (this is due to Kikyo being burned with the Jewel, but also makes reference to Midoriko, the creator of the Jewel). When he was finished with Kumade Jōrō (Mistress Centipede), he tried to steal the Jewel but ends up with the Beads of Subjugation around his neck. When Kagome says "Sit" (おすわり, Osuwari?) his head plunges to the ground. Kagome accidentally shattered the Jewel when shooting at Shibugarasu trying to flee with it, and the shards were scattered around Japan. InuYasha, Kagome, and their friends then began the search for the shards of the Jewel of the Four Souls.
He is introduced as an antagonist when, upon his revival, he attempts to kill Kagome in order to take the Shikon Jewel. He becomes more civil as time progresses, losing some of his more "demonic" qualities and becoming much more human. He maintains a crass, blunt, rude attitude towards everyone except Kagome and Kikyo, and to a lesser degree the rest of his companions (with the possible exception of Shippo). He is brutaly honest when it comes to dealing with emotional hardships (as long as they are not his), and always tries to take the most direct route possible in solving any problem, which usually involves blowing something up or shredding it.
InuYasha is offended when someone calls him a dog or suggests that he is inferior to yōkai, due to his human parentage. However his father was such a great demon that Inu-Yasha is superior to most full-blooded demons even though his mother was human.Once a month he loss his powers and becomes a human it only accurse during the night of the new moon there are also times in which his demon blood takes over and his human heart is overtaken by his demon blood and forgets everything he knew as his normal self and becomes a killing machine that will only stop when he is killed this only happens when his life is in danger and the Tessaiga is not in reach Kagome is the only one to bring him out of this state.
