The show Inuyasha Eng Dub season 1 episode 1, titled "The Girl Who Crossed Time and the Boy Who Was Sealed," begins with an introduction to the story's protagonist, a young high school girl named Kagome Higurashi. Kagome lives in modern-day Tokyo, but her life drastically changes when she is transported through a mystical well to Japan's feudal era.
As Kagome adjusts to her new surroundings, she quickly finds herself in a dangerous situation. A demon attacks her, and she is saved by a half-demon named Inuyasha. Kagome learns that Inuyasha was sealed to a tree 50 years prior by a priestess named Kikyo, who he was in love with. Kagome bears a striking resemblance to Kikyo, which initially makes Inuyasha wary of her.
Despite Inuyasha's hesitancy, he and Kagome must work together to obtain a powerful jewel known as the Shikon Jewel, which has been shattered into many pieces and scattered across feudal Japan. The Shikon Jewel has the power to grant wishes, but if it falls into the wrong hands, it can easily cause chaos and destruction.
Kagome and Inuyasha travel to a nearby village, where they meet with Kaede, Kikyo's younger sister. Kaede explains the history of the Shikon Jewel and warns Inuyasha and Kagome of a powerful demon named Onigumo, who made a deal with numerous demons to gain immense power in exchange for his body. Onigumo's greed led to his body being entirely consumed by the demons, transforming him into the terrifying Naraku.
Kagome and Inuyasha's mission to collect the scattered shards of the Shikon Jewel pits them against dangerous demons, including a group of demons who have the ability to control the bodies of their victims. Throughout the episode, Kagome displays her bravery and resourcefulness, using her modern-day knowledge to help Inuyasha defeat their foes.
As the episode comes to a close, Naraku's shadowy figure looms over the narrative, foreshadowing the significant role he will play throughout the rest of the series. "The Girl Who Crossed Time and the Boy Who Was Sealed" serves as an exciting introduction to the world of Inuyasha, providing viewers with a glimpse into what is to come.
