and with that, I take my leave.
Funny thing about that initial plot is that, in the initial plot, Inuyasha's goal was to find the jewel shards so he could become a full demon. Then, halfway through one of the later seasons when the "Find-the-shards" plot was almost entirely scrapped, it was found that he could become a full demon at any time by letting go of his sword.
Think about that for a minute. The main obstacle of the character, the main motivation of Inuyasha in his entirety, is fulfilled without the jewel shards, which they originally set out for. In theory, they could have ended his participation in the entire show right then and there.
But then again, this was around the time when the intial plot was stabbed repeatedly by the new neverending plot.
