Inuyasha is of average height, standing at 168 cm, with a lean, wiry frame that belies

his massive strength. Like his half-brother Sesshōmaru, he has a thick mane of
waist-length silver-white hair with short bangs, golden eyes with slit-like
pupils, claws on each digit, and short fangs in his mouth. His ears are furry and
pointed like those of a dog and feel like "five uncooked Chinese dumpling shells atop
one another." He also has slightly tanned skin, and his nose, despite appearing
normal, is always damp unless he caught a cold, in which case it dries out. [28]
Inuyasha normally wears the Robe of the Fire-Rat, a white hadagi undershirt, and
later the Kotodama no Nenju. When he goes outside in the modern era, he also wears
a black and red cap with a green and yellow circle, and later a lavender headkerchief
to hide his dog ears. He is always seen barefoot.

When he assumes human form, Inuyasha's demonic claws and fangs, as well as his
dog ears, disappear. His silver-white hair changes to black, his golden eye color
changes to amber grey, and his dog ears are replaced by human ears appearing on
the sides of his head.

In his demonic form, Inuyasha's dog demon features resemble those of his half-
brother Sesshōmaru. When transformed as such, Inuyasha's sclera turned deep red,
his irises became teal slits with white pupils, jagged purple stripes appeared on his
cheeks, and his fangs and claws lengthened.

Powers and Abilities

Powers
Inuyasha is a hanyō, born from a powerful inu-daiyōkai and a human mother. His
father, Tōga, was a powerful and respected demon who governed the Western
Country of Japan. Despite being a half-demon, his demonic power level is the same
as a normal demon with no auxiliary skill.[29] A testament to his powers as a half-
demon was that he was able to easily kill Mistress Centipede, who had absorbed the
entire Shikon Jewel, with one attack at the beginning of the series when his powers
were at their weakest and most untrained which is much more impressive
considering that he had done so in mere moments after being unsealed by Kagome.
Regardless, Inuyasha was one of the most powerful demons seen thus far, and
throughout his journey, he was able to take on many powerful supernatural beings
(e.g., Shikon Jewel-empowered opponents, deities, and legendary figures
like Magatsuhi, Demon of the Shikon no Tama, and Kirinmaru).
 Immense Demonic Power: Despite being a hanyō, Inuyasha is a powerful
demon in his own right. Being the son of the powerful Tōga, Inuyasha stands
amongst the most powerful demons in the series and boasts an immense
amount of demonic power. He can dispatch most low-tier demonic foes, even
those strengthened by the Shikon Jewel shards such as Mistress Centipede
and Hiten. Inuyasha's power even allows him to wield and unleash the
Tessaiga's Kaze no Kizu. Over the course of the series, Inuyasha grew in
strength, allowing him to master powerful techniques such as the Bakuryūha,
Kongōsōha, and Meidō Zangetsuha. He even had been able to defeat powerful
daiyōkai such as Ryūkotsusei (whom not even his father could defeat),
Taigokumaryu, and the Panther King. Furthermore, Inuyasha's demonic power
and his human resolve seemed to be closely related. During his first battle with
 Sesshōmaru, after the latter had disrespected his mother and nearly killed
Kagome, Inuyasha managed to break his armor in a moment rage. Another
testament to his increase in strength is his battle against Jūrōmaru and
Kagerōmaru after having his Tessaiga reforged with his fang when it was
broken by Goshinki. The Tessaiga was then too heavy for him to wield in battle.
However, when Kagerōmaru threatened Kagome's life, Inuyasha's desire to
protect her allowed him to wield it with one hand a brief moment.
[30] Eventually he decided to fight without the aid of his demonic blood allowed
Inuyasha to wield the Tessaiga completely as well as master the Kaze no Kizu
and Bakuryūha, and defeat Ryūkotsusei.[31]
 Superhuman Strength: Inuyasha's yōkai blood gave him intensified physical
strength exceeding that of even the strongest human. He was able to uproot
trees, lift boulders, break through walls and fortress gates, and was even able
to punch through solid steel.[32] In fact, the powerful demon blood inherited
from his father gave him greater strength than most low-tier demons. Only
powerful daiyōkai (e.g., Sesshōmaru) were ever able to overpower Inuyasha in
terms of raw physical strength
 Superhuman Speed: Inuyasha can run and move at speeds that easily
exceeded that of a conventional horse, but he was considerably slower
than Entei, the yōkai horse that served as Hakudōshi's steed. While not
capable of true flight, having inherited a lesser version of his father's more
rudimentary powers, Inuyasha could manipulate his own yōki to an extent
when he jumped, allowing him to glide over long distances and slow his falls as
he lands.
 Superhuman Agility and Reflexes: Inuyasha has inhuman reflexes and
remarkable reaction time. He has swiped arrows fired at him out the air with
his claws.[33] He has also been able to combine his reflexes with his enhanced
senses to catch objects thrown at him midair without turning around.
[11] Inuyasha's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are similarly enhanced.
 Superhuman Stamina: Inuyasha's stamina far exceeded human standards
and most demons, another result of receiving his father's powerful demon
blood. He was able to run and leap vast distances at great speeds and often
complained about how his comparatively weaker human companions always
slowed him down by needing to rest so much every day.
 Superhuman Durability: Inuyasha has a very sturdy body and can endure a
great deal of physical pain, as was once demonstrated in an early battle with
Sesshōmaru when he continued fighting even after being impaled in the
stomach. He was also capable of surviving considerable blunt force trauma, a
direct blow from a solid wooden log that broke on contact, falling several
stories into a crevasse in his fight with Ryūkotsusei, and being thrown hard
enough to shatter solid rock. His skin was thick enough for him to survive
being tangled by Yura's wire-thin hair strands, which were capable of cutting
through solid tree trunks.
 Accelerated Healing: Inuyasha is capable of
