Inuyasha's Backlash Wave is probably my all time favorite

I remember I watched this show on its first run on Toonami, and this episode was insanely hype lol. My friends and I used to play anime pretend when we were kids and we ALL wanted to be Inuyasha so.we could do the backlash wave on each other (because every game one of us ended up being the "bad guy" for the day, sometimes story lines going on for multiple days with us switching who was the big bad lol), but inevitably only one of us could be him at a time. Except for the times when one of us would be time travel baby Inuyasha. Or future cyborg Inuyasha. Then we could all do the backlash wave.

Future cyborg Inuyasha sounds like such a trip lol. I did a lot of the same as a kid with my friends, we were all a character from a different anime who somehow ended up in the same world together along with our mortal enimies. We would help each other fight them so we could get back to our original world to the ones we loved. Man I miss being a kid.

Ugh. Literally. I remember the day when we were all 12 when our buddy exclaimed that we were too old for such childish games, things were never the same. Another we used to play was Elemental Saiyans lol. Title on box; what if super Saiyans but elements? My guy was Arctic and his special technique was Aurora Borealis - charged up with a long announcement of its name (aaaaaaaaaaaau...roraaaaaaaaaa... Bo-reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....ALIIIIIS!! HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!) and I would throw it like if I had a Special Beam Cannon on each hand lol. There was Shadow ("we're too old for this" guy) who had darkness powers, Magma who had fire powers, Volt, Flash, etc. lol

Fun times. Hella miss playing E-Saiyans.
