When Inuyasha defeats Root Head or at least drives him away, the villagers praise Miroku over him when Miroku barely did anything.
The only thing Sesshomaru says about Root Head is that it is a worthless piece of vermin. And annoying, as he casually floats away. Jaken thought Sesshomaru was referring to himself.
After driving off Root Head, Kagome appears to get in Inuyasha's face demanding to know what he's hiding, only for the camera to zoom out and show a shocked Kagome looking at herself with a fox tail. Inuyasha's response is to smack Shippo over the head.
Even after three years, the Belligerent Sexual Tension between Inuyasha and Kagome persists despite being an Official Couple for three years. Inuyasha thinks to himself why Kagome didn’t get angry while Kagome thinks to herself that Inuyasha didn’t have to hide the fact that Kikyo was involved.
Shippo finds Sesshomaru and Jaken and asks why they weren’t helping and what they were doing on the roof. Jaken tells him Sesshomaru doesn’t care about the human villages until Rin comes out of Sango’s house cheerfully yelling for him.
After defeating Root Head, Kagome says the “sit” command for the first time in three and a half years. Miroku and Sango note how nostalgic it was.
Towa casually tells the local lord to run and that he’ll get hurt if he stayed. Cue one of his men being thrown into the floor behind her.
Sota not realizing that Towa is going to school dressed as a boy again until she’s almost out the door.
Towa getting lectured for being late for school after getting into a fight. She is so bored throughout the whole thing and gets very surprised when her teacher announces that he will let the situation slide this time.
After Towa rescues her adopted (and extended) family and is about to fight off the delinquents who held them hostage, Mei begins to cry her eyes out on wanting Towa to be more girly. The delinquents just stand there, with their leader seeing the mood being shot, until passing police cars scare them off.
Moroha is introduced in a slumped sitting position, scratching her ear with her pinky while mouthing off at the other characters, looking almost too much like her dad for her own good. No DNA test needed whatsoever.
Episode 3
After Towa’s sword breaks, Moroha tells her that her Kikujumonji sword is a fake when she inspects it.
Towa becomes completely oblivious to the fact that she managed to create a Laser Blade from her broken sword, nor the fact that she didn’t think it was possible while Moroha tells her to finish off Mistress Three-Eyes.
A Hitokon possesses Towa, and when it escapes from her, it goes to possess Mei. Possessed Mei then picks up a rock and slowly walks to Ms. Higurashi and Grandpa with the intent to kill. And then Towa tries to come to her defense until possessed Mei pitifully tries to kill Towa with said rock, hardly fazing the latter.
Why is she naked? She just had a hot bath for the first time and is gushing about it.
Not to mention it’s clearly a Call-Back to when her dad also ran out of the bath butt naked in an episode of the original series, freaking her mom out.
Let’s not forget how in the previous episode, Mei wanted Towa to be more feminine but when she witnesses her using her demon powers, she starts to think that her half-demon adopted sister is a badass, which based on everything else she went through that night still comes across as Skewed Priorities.
And then there’s the fact that there’s Setsuna and Moroha, the latter whom Sota understood to likely be his niece, Mei now thinks she now has two more older sisters.
It’s also a fun callback to the original series. Once again, the younger Higurashi sibling finds themself hero worshipping time travelers from the feudal era.
Episode 4
Moroha with her ability to fit into the modern world is a walking fountain of funny moments:
She makes the exact same face as Kagome's when she sees the kappa's dried foot. But instead of feeding it to Buyo like her mother did, the girl is absolutely overjoyed at the gift and hugs her great-grandpa. Grandpa, meanwhile, is screaming his thanks to Kagome for having such a wonderful daughter.
Moroha later drags back a giant bag of stuff like Kagome's, and she somehow manages to shove an entire bicycle into it much to Mei and Setsuna's confusion. But how did she pay for all of those things? She decimated Sota's credit card! Which she somehow discovered and figured out how to use presumably on her own in just a few days.
She makes use of the kappa foot by throwing it into Root Head's eye, making it scream in pain as if it was just got hit by a sword instead of a tiny dried foot.
As it turns out, Setsuna is a violin prodigy, and she actually likes violin enough to take the instrument back with her to the Feudal Era.
When Moroha compliments Setsuna on looking good in a modern dress, her immediate reaction is to threaten to kill Moroha.
When Root Head opens the time tunnel, it sucks in Moroha's giant bag and Setsuna's violin which the two girls react by yelling and jumping after their stuff, leaving Towa behind.
After Setsuna refuses the Tree of Ages' request to defeat the apparent Big Bad Kirinmaru, Towa also refuses while Moroha has no idea what is going on and just rolled with the refusal.
Once they finally get back to the Feudal Era for real, Moroha's bag lands straight on her. But she's still perfectly happy that her things are safe and nuzzling the bag as if it's her baby.
Setsuna and Towa ride on Kirara. Towa wraps her arms around Setsuna's waist, causing her to order Towa not to touch her. Towa says she has to or else she will fall off.
Episode 6
Moroha causally stands in the basket of Towa's bicycle while listening to the latter's phone. They start arguing until Setsuna yells at them when they nearly hit a young village girl, which causes them to crash into a tree and sending the girls flying.
While flying, Moroha and Towa look suitably scared, but Setsuna remains calm...and in a sitting position, even though she has been ejected as well. And if you notice, Towa's bicycle breaks in half.
They apologize to the girl by offering her the snacks Moroha brought from the present, which she devours cutely.
They find a village where the villagers are completely enamored by the cats, and even Towa thinks they're cute. That is until they find out they're ghost cats, and fight ensues.
Towa goes into fangirl mode when she sees a monk by the name Juan, and it's because he's an Identical Stranger to an Idol Singer both Mei and herself knew.
Towa brings out a flashlight and accidentally shines it in Moroha's face, blinding her.
Episode 7
Towa has a dream sequence where both her and Setsuna are in a café, and gifts her a large Buyo plush, and tells her to hug it while Moe plays her violin next to them.
As soon as she wakes up, Towa finds out Setsuna left without her, and complains while Kaede looks incredulous and quietly drinks her tea, as if she's saying "So this is Sesshomaru's daughter?".
Towa meets Riku when she complains her map she was using was only for Reiwa Era Japan, and he flirts with her. When he tells her he can't find his ship, she tells him she could smell the ocean nearby. Only to come across a small river.
Towa complaining that nothing Moroha brought back from the future was actually useful.
Moroha complains about having to hunt down big-name targets. Her boss tells her to bring Towa because she is the more reliable of the three which is quite humorous when you remember Setsuna and Moroha's general assessment of her.
Throughout the fight with Fubuki, Takechiyo remains frozen in a block of ice with a funny expression on his face.
Episode 8
Takechiyo is still stuck in the ice block from episode 7. The only way he gets out, is from getting mad that Moroha and Setsuna just jump over him and ignore him.
Towa begging Takechiyo to let her ride him so she can catch up with the other two. First. She tries hugging him like a plush. When that doesn't work, she ends up bribing him with modern day candies.
Even funnier, Takechiyo initially refuses Towa's request and is starting to say "Give me one good reason—" and Towa just immediately tosses a piece of candy into his mouth. Flawless victory!
There's something rather hilarious about how effortlessly Yotsume is taken out by Setsuna, even with a Rainbow Pearl boost.
We are reminded that the girls have dog demon blood in them after Towa defeats Kyuki, she runs to Setsuna on all 4's. Like an actual dog.
Episode 9
Moroha tries to get the twins to help with her latest bounty, but they decline. And when Setsuna bluntly tells her bounty hunting and demon-slaying are two different things, this exchange happens
Setsuna: (In the most deadpan matter-of-factly tone possible) So is yours.
Since Towa was told the only way to get information regarding the Dream Butterfly is to put a bounty on it, with money she doesn't have or own, she devilishly suggests using Moroha's bounty money.
Towa is shocked that Meioju's son, who looks like a child around her adopted sister's age, is actually fifty.
Episode 10
In a turnaround from last episode, the girls are about to take off on Takechiyo to chase after Kinka and Ginka, when Moroha asks them to wait a second while she grabs her cape. Her expression is priceless when she comes back into frame to see they flew off without her (presumably having not heard her). She spends the rest of the episode chasing after the others, including having to claw her way up the mountain the others are fighting on.
The ending of the episode is gold, as well. Moroha finally catches up to the group to find Ginka and Kinka (her bounty) having dissolved into ash. She pathetically tries to scoop some of the remains into a pile to take back, only for the wind to blow it all away.
Episode 11
Moroha is making pancakes with a portable grill and decides to "test them for poison" by eating three in one bite. Unsurprisingly, she starts choking, and she ends up making a beeline for a nearby pond with absolutely filthy water to wash it down with, forcing Towa to stop her. Luckily, doing so makes her stop choking.
The children of the week convince Setsuna to play her violin for them by being ridiculously cute and enthusiastic about it.
After the girls defeat the titular Man-Eating Swamp, Towa and Moroha high-five each other while saying "Yay!" And wearing ^_^ expressions. Towa turns to Setsuna, who puts on a ^_^ of her own and almost returns the high-five before catching herself, looking embarrassed. She then dismisses Towa as "annoying".
When Moroha realizes that Nikosen can regenerate his head, she gets the idea that she can cut off his head repeatedly and keep cashing in on his bounty. She tries pitching the scam to the demon, but he's just confused.
How does Moroha get Myoga to show up so she can ask him what's wrong with Towa? She pretends that she's going to use her rouge, so her blood will be like that of her grandfather's like Myoga likes. And it works.
Episode 13
Totetsu ends up inhaling some spicy chips, revealing that he doesn't like spicy food. How does Towa use that knowledge, by throwing a bottle of Habañero sauce into his mouth, causing him to comically breathe fire from his mouth from the heat.
Moroha is being paid to be a bodyguard to some monks that Totetsu might be after. Unbeknownst to her, his Rainbow Pearl says that they aren't really virtuous, so he skips over them, which Moroha completely misses because she's bragging about how she'll be paid even if he doesn't show up, and her reaction when she hears that he's been fended off and she missed her chance to get his bounty is hilarious.
Episode 14
The Hulu thumbnail for the episode? The three girls ready for battle, with Moroha in a giant snowball.
At the start of the episode, Towa pulls out her smartphone to check the time. Setsuna's response is to try to attack it.
When Towa says that her smartphone is something she can't live without, Moroha claims to have something like that too: Grandpa Higurashi's lucky kappa foot. Cue Towa and Setsuna with the same face that Moroha and Kagome made when they first saw it.
The three girls survey the mansion where Homura lives...for all of 30 seconds, before Moroha kicks the door down.
Homura blasts Moroha with a stream of fire. Her Robe of the Fire Rat (inherited from her daddy), protects her from the fire damage, but not getting knocked into the nearby forest, where she's promptly buried in snow and comes out resembling a snowman.
This also explains why she's in a snowball in the Hulu thumbnail, because she rejoins the fight with nothing but her head, legs, and one arm free of the snowball.
Inuyasha is requested to demonstrate the Adamant Barrage, and he does so... taking half the roof off of his house in the process. Kagome uses the "sit" command on him for that.
Episode 20
When told that they'll have to leave the Hidden Elf Village one day too, the two half-demons who helped Setsuna defend the village and Shiori immediately protest.
Episode 23
In the Reiwa Era, Kirin/Kirinmaru sees the Grim Comet and spots Sota and asks him about Towa. Sota, in true Higurashi fashion, tells him Towa's "neuralgia" subsided. Considering he is lying to Kirinmaru, and goes along with it makes this moment funnier than it needs to. Since he knows Sota's lying to him, but rolled with it.
Sota has definitely taken lessons from his grandfather.
Episode 25
Moroha failing to recognize Totosai or give Jaken the proper respect earns her matching bonks on the head from both of them.
Episode 26
Fighting a demon who can turn them into stone should they look into her eyes, Setsuna and Moroha use Takechiyo as a giant wheel, hiding behind him as they try to approach the demon. At the same time, the rapid movement makes Takechiyo so dizzy he's unable to gaze into the demon's eyes, protecting him as well.
Faced with the same demon, what does Towa do? Pop on a pair of mirrored shades.
Episode 27
Moroha manages to effortlessly squeeze information about the Kyuyokon root out of Bokusen-Oh with a combination of flattery and guile, after he claims that he would never give such information to half or quarter-demons.
Episode 28
Echoing her parents first meeting, Moroha's first instinct upon discovering the sleeping Rion is to wonder if her cute puppy ears are real, and reach out to touch them.
Episode 29
What should be a heartwarming moment with Towa trying to hug Rion after hearing of her struggles turns into a funny one due to Rion being a ghost and therefore incorporeal. Towa then spends a couple of moments nearly falling through Rion before she regains her balance.
After hearing Rion's request for Setsuna to sever her red string bond with Kirinmaru, Towa worries that it'll mean that Rion will die, only for the latter to nonchalantly remind her that she'd already died 600 years ago.
Riku explains to the girls that Kirinmaru can see and hear through him after worrying the demon would notice Rion. Towa then walks up to Riku, holds his face between her hands, smiles sweetly and begins screaming threats at the top of her lungs at Kirinmaru.
Episode 30
When Setsuna was asked to substitute for Princess Aiya, she reluctantly does so. Cue encountering Hisui, who was hired to tutor Aiya, but sees Setsuna instead.
Hisui explains how he ended up being Aiya's tutor: Kin'u manipulated him indoing so. Looks like she inherited her father's genes.
Towa tries to find Setsuna and feels it was a bad time for her to ask Moroha for help. Cue a Jump Cut where several demons are fleeing for their lives being chased by her.
Episode 33
Moroha, in her Beniyasha form, getting blasted into the sky by the elder Tanuki. Complete with her and Takechiyo leaving a Twinkle in the Sky.
Setsuna is once again training with her Naginata by cutting bamboo (which is being used to build defenses against the Flame Bulls), while fretting about her inability to learn the secret of cutting threads of fate. When Kohaku approaches her, she assumes that he's there to tell her to keep trying, but it turns out he's there to tell her she's already cut plenty of bamboo. The camera then pulls back to reveal fields and fields of decimated bamboo stalks. Setsuna pulls an expression that mixes surprise, horror, and embarrassment.
While Kagome and Moroha's reunion is extremely heartwarming, the look on Kagome's face as she walks up to Moroha planning to get a good look at the girl to make absolutely sure that this is her daughter is hilarious since it's her "Inuyasha is being dumb" face and it thoroughly intimidates Moroha.
Towa and Setsuna witness the usual interactions between their aunt and uncle for the first time, and have a Flat "What" to the "Sit!" command.
Episode 41
Miroku and Sango continuing their old running gag of her slapping him for groping her is both this and heartwarming moment.
Episode 42
Sesshoumaru's mother seems to take Moroha's presence and existence as a great personal insult. While she has no issue speaking with her granddaughters, she scowls slightly when Jakken introduces Moroha, and does not answer her questions when prompted - but answers Towa a minute later without hesitation. Nearly 200 years and she's still not over Toga.
Manga
Moroha and Setsuna provide a great deal of Straight Man and Wise Guy comedy. Especially when they're eating as while Moroha gobbles down food and talks freely, Setsuna tries to constantly get her to calm down and remember her manners.
What's Towa's first reaction to Myoga and being complimented on the taste of her blood? Squishing him in disgust.
The Spirit of the Tree of Ages makes a solemn appearance to take Moroha and Setsuna back to the Feudal Era, only for the Higurashi family to have a collective freak-out in loading Moroha down with supplies. Never has a more deadpan look appeared on Kikyo's face.
Turns out that, inspired by his sister's travels to the feudal era, Souta wrote and researched a wide number of things in the event that he wound up there. And he passed at least some of that knowledge onto Towa.
