60 free Inuyasha trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Sep 2026.
This Inuyasha trivia quiz covers Rumiko Takahashi's manga, the 167-episode Sunrise anime, The Final Act, the four films and the Yashahime spin-off. It starts at the Higurashi shrine, where a fifteen-year-old girl is pulled into a well and lands in the Sengoku period, and follows the hunt for the Shikon Jewel shards: Tessaiga and Tenseiga, Miroku's cursed right hand, Sango's bone boomerang, Shippo's fox tricks, Sesshomaru and Rin, and the spider half-demon Naraku with his detachments and the resurrected Band of Seven. It also asks about the people behind it: what Takahashi wrote before Inuyasha, which voice actor she insisted on, the American block that aired the dub, and how the four December films and the Yashahime twins fit in. About a third of the questions are easy for anyone who watched the show on Adult Swim, a third need a solid memory of the story, and the rest reward the fans who can name Naraku's first detachment or the flea who guarded Tessaiga. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's series and character articles before publishing, and each question carries the sentence that establishes it. If you think one is wrong, use the report button and we will look again.
