🌱 Evolution Summary
Inuyasha begins as:
➡️ Solitary, aggressive, and distrustful

And it ends like this:
➡️ Protective, loyal, emotionally mature, and capable of love.

Inuyasha was born the son of a powerful youkai, the Dog Demon, and a human woman named Izayoi.
Because he was a half-youkai (hanyō), he was never fully accepted by either world.

He was rejected by humans because he looked like a demon.

He was despised by youkai for being "weak" and impure.

He grew up alone, developing a defensive, aggressive, and distrustful personality.

This period was essential in shaping his tough demeanor.

💔 Meeting with Kikyo

Initially, he wanted to steal the jewel to become a full-fledged youkai.

But he ended up falling in love with Kikyo.

She also began to trust him.

💔 Their plan: to use the jewel to turn Inuyasha into a human, so they could live together in peace.

⚔️ Betrayal and sealing
