InuYasha Tier list

[R]

Trying to update it as good as I can with side and one-time characters.

For now however just the main protagonists I can think of.

the characters inside the tiers are ranked within subtiers. However inside these subtiers there is no further ranking

S-Tier

EOS Sesshoumaru
-
Fully Merged Naraku
Magatsuhi
EOS Kagome Higurashi
Midoriko
-
EOS InuYasha

A-Tier

4th form Naraku
Meidou InuYasha
-
Meidou Sesshoumaru
-
EOS Sango
Shishinki

B-Tier

Final Form Moryoumaru
Dragon scealed InuYasha
3rd form Naraku
Kikyou
-
Toukijin Sesshoumaru
-
Kongosouha InuYasha
Kazaana Miroku

C-Tier

To be added

[Salem]

EOS Kagome > EOS Inuyasha?

- - - Updated - - -

Also what puts EOS Sesshomaru > EOS Naraku? Can't remember.

And EOS Sango >= Shishinki? Like seriously?

[R]

Yeha EOS Kagome Managed to actually kill Naraku physically. InuYsha did not. Her spiritual arrows carry immense potency

eos Sesshoumaru being the top dog is solely based off WOG which declared him to be the strongest

[R]

Where would you put EOS Sango? Her hiraikotsu was tearing through EIS Naraku like Butter, whereas the first form meidou orbs were absolutely useless

and that's all shishinki has in his repertoire...

[R]

It's a shame no one cares for this series

[Genbu]

Bad list unfortunately.

Kagome has no place that high nor does Sango and am I seriously seeing any version of Sesshomaru sans barehanded below Kikyo?

The archers are terrible fighters. Their power might be at that level but that's all. They don't have nearly the resilience or maneuverability the others do.

Her hiraikotsu was tearing through EIS Naraku like Butter, whereas the first form meidou orbs were absolutely useless

And if your reasoning is evidence like this? I can see why you're having problems. The jewel tied Naraku to that dimension. Inuyasha can't BFR it which is a completely separate mode of offense than Hiraikotsu

Memory of Inuyasha is sketchy but oh well:

Top-tier

Sesshomaru

-gap-

Eos Naraku
Eos Inuyasha

-gap-

Magatsuhi
Shishinki
Moryomaru

High-tier

Kagome
Kikyo
Sango

etc etc

[R]

thanks for your input, however there are some problems i have with your reasoning.

kikyou could and would shoot down sesshoumaru with her sacret arrows. be it trapping him to a tree or outright purifying him. she has the means to affect him greatly. obviously only when her arrows connect, but still. a persons whose arrows manage to make moryoumaru and/or naraku in his 3rd form run for their money is definetly above sesshoumaru with toukijin which a weapon useless since chapter 280

remember post-hakurei naraku possesed a barrier which could not be penetrated by sesshoumaru anylonger. happened immediately after their encounter in hakurei

and in the afterworld

so yes. in-verse kikyou does carry more potency than a first-weapon sesshoumaru. she not using it on every occasion to blast away things left and right dont take away the potency, since when she decided to attack, she harmed people sesshoumaru could not at that time

same goes with kagome and her EOS-self, only to an even higher degree.

regarding your sango-argument:

im sorry but naraku since the introduction of the meijou every form of offensive technique, windscar, bakuryuha, kongosouha has been rendered useless. no one was able to penetrate it. the flaming tessaiga which was introduced got useless the very same chapter it showed to work on the meijou due to kinka/ginka upgrade.

sango in her EOS self however had nor problem. reason for it?

you seem to forget that hiraikotus is not just a bone boomerang. its an actual semi-sentinent existance of all the demons sango slayed.

during the reforging of hiraikotus she learned of this fact

http://www2.mangafreak.net/Read1_Inuyasha_488_14#gohere

and she managed to hurt naraku in a way no one could at that point in time

http://www2.mangafreak.net/Read1_Inuyasha_498_9#gohere

http://www2.mangafreak.net/Read1_Inuyasha_498_11#gohere

http://www2.mangafreak.net/Read1_Inuyasha_498_13#gohere

even preventing his regeneration

http://www2.mangafreak.net/Read1_Inuyasha_498_14#gohere

since it got the ability to actively destroy demonic aura

http://www2.mangafreak.net/Read1_Inuyasha_498_17#gohere

so yes. sango deserves the place where she belongs

- - - Updated - - -

also keep in mind this actually were already around chapter 500 and the last major upgrade for sango which stayed relevant till the nigh-end of the series.

heavily underrated character in-verse

[Genbu]

Kikyou and Kagome have the MEANS to damage Sesshomaru and alike but that's never happening in a fight, the same way as an 8 year old with a super sharp knife isn't going to beat a trained a marine

Never said Sango wasn't strong. I said your logic for putting her that high doesn't work. Hell, I'd even wager she's tougher than Kagome and Kikyo thinking about it now. It has no bearing on Meidou or whatever else since they don't have the same function. Inuyasha would destroy her.

[R]

thats not really comparable. they dont have one specific technique which is used only against naraku or sesshoumaru, but their entire spiritual power is effective against the verse as a whole.

for example: it also worked against the band of the seven, which are only human beings. its not like you give a high-caliber ammunition to an untrained person and tell him to become a spec-ops. the power progress was made clear throughout the entire series. subtle, but clear.

i dont see whats wrong with my logic for putting her that high? she was never outpaced or outbattled in-verse. heavy hitters had always more diversive attacks but once she operated with the reforged hiraikotsu there is no denying the fact she damaged EOS villains.

inuyasha would destroy her? yeha no shit...inuyasha is also 3 sub-tiers and 1 entire tier above her...

[R]

where would Kaguya rank? the movie villain?

[Albion]

Somewhere in A Tier I think, but my memory of some of her feats are a bit hazy.

[Avalon]

stopped watching after the band of seven arc but i remember bankotsu was pretty tough

She has a pretty good island lifting feat like brandishes s for example. Sadly not calced. And she has that dimension BFR and planetary timestop

[R]

while i am currently going through the manga to gather feats for the naraku respect thread i came across something i have not realized until now

meiodu does not only work as a BFR move but also as a portal between dimension

explanation: sesshoumaru passes through the meidou and steps into the darkness of hell - its commented on how its not possible to return from this dimension

to safe sesshoumaru his mother opens a portal from the outside with the intention to drag him back, while again warning him that its the last resort - he declines

after defeating the master of hell he uses meidou to open a portal from the inside of the dimension to be able and step back to the regular realm

[IMG]https://cdn.mangahub.io/file/imghub/inuyasha/470/14.jpg[IMG]

which should be enough to warrant meidou not only working as an offensive tool but as a mechanism to fend of dimensional BFR
@Teo; @Y; thoughts?

[Tokio]

isn't that only because of a link the technique had with that specific dimension? i don't know if that'd allow him to counter dimensions in general

shouldnt that fall under verse equalization? since it is another dimension but it obviously does not exist outside of the IY verse

[Rave]

Would be a case by case basis typa deal I imagine. Like, we wouldn't assume he could port himself back to Earth from say; some versions of hyperspace, the House of Windowless Rooms, the Mansions of Silence, Castlevania Dracula's dimensions, etc etc

What sort of info is given on Hell in Inuyasha?

well no spaces who follow specific rules which prevent random porting or have no earth like atmosphere are likely out of question

nothing really. all what we know is said with these few panels. its hell. its one of the big 3 dimensions in inuyasha. realspace, afterlife, hell. a normal human could not survive their is another additional information we got
