Who's more evil:
Naraku, Moryomaru, or Rumiko Takahashi?

Some manga artists know how to end a plot arc without ruining its flow. Then there's Rumiko Takahashi, the queen of contrived plot extensions. Some of you might be thinking, "can it really be that much shittier than Naruto Filler?". Well there's a big difference: the Naruto manga doesn't have any filler. Rumiko Takahashi, on the other hand, draws all this crap first hand. Consider a recent development in the Inu Yasha manga:


I'm still losing sleep over how shitty that is. Sesshomaru doesn't get enough coverage as it is; now you're taking away his only potential rival by having Naraku absorb Moryomaru with a magical tree? Get Sesshomaru a decent fight for a change:

Opponent
Result
Random demons Apathetically slaughters them
Inu Yasha I Inu Yasha gets lucky
Inu Yasha II Inu Yasha runs away
Inu Yasha III Inu Yasha gets lucky again
Inu Yasha IV Wins, apathetically walks away
Inu Yasha V Wins, apathetically walks away
Inu Yasha VI Smacks Inu Yasha, fights Naraku
Kagura Apathetically/Unintentionally seduces Kagura
Naraku I Naraku runs away
Naraku II Naraku runs away
Naraku III Naraku runs away
Naraku IV Naraku runs away
Giant Cat Gets pissed off, regains composure, Apathetically kills it
Mukotsu Apathetically kills him
Suikotsu Beats him down, lets Kikyo take the credit
Jakotsu Stabs him, Jakotsu calls him hot and runs away
Guardians of the Gate Scares them into submission, apathetically walks past them
Moryomaru I Moryomaru runs away
Moryomaru II Sesshomaru actually tries, Moryomaru actually wins
Moryomaru III Oh wait, this never happened
Byakuya Just stands there apathetically because Byakuya sucks
Master of Hell Chops off its arm, levels up, it disappears somehow
Masked dude Kills him, levels up

Against all those enemies (except Moryomaru), there's either no tension, only one round, somebody running away, or Inu Yasha getting lucky. Moryomaru was easily the most suitable opponent for Sesshomaru:

I shouldn't be surprised that Rumiko ruined it. It's not the first time she's used a shitty explanation to slip out the back door of a complex situation (see Salad-chan). Now she's trying (unconvincingly) to make up new explanations for the plot extensions that are consistent with the old plot, all the while refusing to enlighten us as to why Shippo and Koga even exist. They're so damn useless. (I'll add them later)


Rumiko Takahashi ruined 311 rivalries with shitty plot extensions
