Four films that each belong at a specific episode, a series that stops before the story does, and an ending that arrived five years later.
The order is the episode numbers with four films dropped into specific gaps, and then a twenty-six episode ending that turned up five years after the series went off the air. The film placements are the whole reason this page exists, so they are marked below.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
The setup and the first long stretch of the hunt for the jewel shards. By 54 the whole main group has been assembled, which is exactly why the first film was written to sit here.
The first film, and it assumes the group as it stands at episode 54. Watching it earlier means meeting characters the film thinks you already know.
The middle of the series, where the villain's plan and Sesshomaru's separate story both start actually moving rather than repeating.
The second film, written to sit after episode 95. It is the weakest of the four and the easiest to leave out without losing anything.
Keeps going to the point the third film was built for. This stretch also contains the series' longest unbroken run of anime-original episodes.
The third film, after episode 136, and the one worth making room for. It is about the brothers' father and their swords, which the series itself keeps circling.
The end of the original run. Be warned that it does not end: the anime catches up with the manga and simply stops, with the story unresolved.
The fourth film, released after the series had already finished, so it sits at the end of the original run rather than inside it.
The ending, made five years later. It starts with no recap and moves fast, so go straight from episode 167 into it rather than leaving a gap.
A sequel about the daughters of the original cast, written for the anime rather than adapted from the manga. It is a genuinely different show and entirely optional.
Then what? That is everything. The four films are side stories rather than part of the manga, so leaving all four out costs you nothing except Swords of an Honorable Ruler, which is the one people miss. Yashahime ended in March 2022 with no third season announced.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.

Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
