I found that rather amusing. It was like...you saw his ego deflate faster than the Tesusaiga. *giggles*
I missed half of the episode, but I too thought it was a cute episode. Though...that little girl seemed awfully chipper when she said that "It's okay, I already knew my brother was gone." I'm like...whoa...no sympathy for the dead there. Hmm... I love Shippo. I wish he could become more powerful though. When they showed all of the others ready for battle I was like...Shippo is fairly useless isn't he? He needs some cool and real powers...or skills. Not that his powers aren't real...they are just useless in battle.
Anyways...
