#inu no taishou
Towa is definitely going to talk with her grandfather at some point, in fact I think she’s an incarnation of him…

Did you not see the third Inuyasha movie OP? His human form is there
You bring up a good point in that their father did appear (for a few minutes) in a humanoid form in that particular movie, looking (if anybody is wondering) like this:
(Pictured above: the design they used for the Inu no Taishou in movie three. Handsome! Nailed it, IMO, I can totally believe he charmed two different women looking like this)
…but - and this is key- this was not used in the original manga by Rumiko Takahashi, which is our primary source for these kinds of articles.
The reason being, the adaptations of her story have a history of making pretty big changes and even inserting entirely new material - precisely what happened here! this is actually a great example of it! - and so they’re not interchangeablewith the original or even each other a lot of the time.
For this reason, when we’re asking “what does canon say on this?”, we prefer to stick with The Original Work By The Original Author, which…means we turn exclusively to the manga unlessit’s aboutsomething adaptation-specific. We enjoy the anime adaptations too! But they are a separate canon.
Interestingly, the Inu no Taishou was also not shown that way in the anime TV series either, nor in any of the other theatrical films, making Swords of An Honorable Ruler an outlier across pretty much all canons.
At least it’s a pretty outlier :P
Inupapa really left his descendants all his debts and enemies to deal with, huh
we should cancel him for being a shitty dad
