The 5th season of Rumiko Takahashi’s “feudal fairy tale” Inu Yasha is the darkest, as the familiar characters confront questions of survival, death, and love. Naraku remains hidden, creating a new body for himself as his protective barrier was shattered at end of Season 3. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Inu-Yasha spend most of these episodes battling the Band of Seven, a group of bloodthirsty mercenaries whom Naraku brought back from the dead with shards of the Sacred Jewel. More savage in death than they were in life, the seven zombies must be fought with strength and intelligence. But dangerous as they are, the Band of Seven are minor players. Naraku’s schemes force Kagome and Inu-Yasha to acknowledge their feelings for each other–and even shed tears. Using others as pawns, Naruto succeeds in his monstrous plot, turning his human heart (the heart of Onigumo, the thief who loved Kikyo decades earlier), into a malevolent infant. But there’s still plenty of time for comedy–Inu-Yasha and wolf-demon Koga squabble endlessly, and Miroku is still an unapologetic lecher. Although the shards of the Sacred Jewel play an important role, the mission to assemble them all is rarely mentioned. Presumably, that plotline will return in the two remaining seasons. The Deluxe Edition Box Set, which is limited to 15,000 copies, includes a hanging scroll of Sesshomaru.(Rated “Teen:” suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, alcohol use, brief nudity) –Charles Solomon
Product Description
Half-demon Inuyasha, modern-day schoolgirl Kagome and their companions face their deepest fears and worst nightmares as their quest to find the Sacred Jewel shards continues. The deadly Band of Seven, a group of mercenaries executed for their crimes, have returned from the dead to wreak havoc, and Inuyasha is determined to stop them. But the battle leads them all to the sacred and mysterious Mount Hakurei, where a barrier not only renders demons, including Inuyasha, powerless, but also hides a terrible secret about their worst enemy Naraku!

This set covers the Band of Seven story arc
The Inuyasha Fifth Season Box Set includes five DVDs, which contain the twenty-seven episodes that make up the fifth season of the anime.
All I have to say is I loved it, I’m a big fun and if you owned season 1-4, you must get season 5. I’m already waiting for season 6 which comes out on December 2nd 2008. I like all the episodes that contained the Band of 7. It was exciting to see how every one is looking for Naraku, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and friends, Koga and friends and Kikyo. Enjoy!!!!!!

My favorite season so far!
I had watched episodes of Inuyasha before but it was the episodes on this box set that made me a fan(well, technically it was the manga volumes with the band of seven but that’s…
I started watching the earlier episodes of the series when I found out Season 5 was being released. I love this whole series but the early relationship between InuYasha and Kigome is frustrating. I hate the episodes where he chooses Kikyo over Kigome. (Can you tell I’m not a Kikyo fan?) I pretty much fast forward through them. This season is so good. There are many cute moments between Kigome and InuYasha. The episode where he cry’s and the episode with the river of fire are among my favorites. The action in this season is also excellent. There are no filler episodes for this season. The gang of seven are the best villains this series has had so far (including Naraku)! If you have made it too 99 keep going because you will be very happy with this one.
