Inuyasha:
Inuyasha
Kagome Higurashi

Shippo
Inuyasha:
strength;speed;senses;iron reaver soul stealer;blades of blood;wind scar;backlash wave;sacred backlash wave;red tetsusaiga;adamant barrage;youki absorption;black gates moon slicing wave
Strength:
InuYasha's demon blood gives him superhuman strength.
Speed :
InuYasha's speed has been shown to easily exceed that of a normal horse; Faster than any normal land or water animal. Due to the speed he can accumulate in his runs, added with his incredible strength, he is able to cross great distances with a single jump. Altogether, this creates the illusion that he is flying every time he leaps.
Even without his fire-rat robe, which protects him much like armor, he has shown the ability to withstand direct contact with fire and tremendous heat, as well as corrosive substances like acid. When injured, he heals far more rapidly than a human, so much so that attacks powerful enough to severely injure him are rarely fatal, as they would be to humans, if they sustained an equivalent injury.
Senses:
InuYasha's senses are highly developed, and allow him to smell hints of blood from miles away and detect the presence of people by smell long before they can be seen.

Techniques:
Besides wielding Testsusaiga, which neither Sesshomaru nor most other full-demons can do, InuYasha can perform the following techniques:
Iron Reaver Soul Stealer:
InuYasha's basic attack, which channels his demon powers through his claws, and is powerful enough to tear apart iron, making it easy for him to rip his enemies in half.
Blades of Blood:
InuYasha's blood, when combined with the "Soul-Scattering Iron Claws", does damage when thrown. With this attack, he is able to attack his enemies from afar instead of in close combat. InuYasha splashes his own or other's blood on the end of his claws and flings them like multiple shuriken comprising of red-colored demon energy to cleave his foes in two.
Inuyasha is also able to time travel between Kagome's world and his through the well.

Tetsusaiga attacks:
Wind Scar:
Using the wind scar, the Tetsusaiga has the ability to be slay 100 demons with one strike. Full demons cannot yield the Tetsusaiga, because of the barrier Inuyasha's father put on it.
This attack is accomplished by finding the fissure or scar between colliding demonic winds of Tessaiga's wielder and the opposing demon. Once the wind scar is found, the wielder of Tessaiga can swing the sword into the scar, which releases a powerful energy wave that has the strength to end 100 lives in one strike of the sword.
Back To Top
Backlash Wave:
Backlash wave is the tetsusaiga's ultimate technique. This only works on foes with a large demonic power. Uses the opponent's strong yoki and the wind scar to return the attack, magnified hundreds of times. With this movement of the Tessaiga, he forms enormous charging twisters that sucks the foes power into the Wind Scar and forces it to flow backwards. The wind and the power twist together into a vortex, pushing it backwards and the enemy is attacked in its own demonic force and Tessaiga's might combined. But to use it, he must see where to cut the demon's aura and have strong enough ki himself to overpower his foes.
Back To Top
Sacred Backlash Wave:
This attack is a combined effort between InuYasha and Kagome. It consists of Kagome firing one of her Sacred Arrows into the center of InuYasha's Backlash Wave before it connects. When it hits the enemy there is a higher chance that he will be destroyed by the combined powers.
Back To Top
Red Tessaiga:
Barrier shatter (Red Tessaiga) is gained indirectly from the orb of the bat demons that gave them the power to create barriers. This technique renders barriers useless. Only the strongest barriers cannot be shattered by this attack, assumably it must be stronger then the barrier made by the orb. When being used, Tessaiga's blade becomes crimson red.
Back To Top
Adamant Barrage:
The attack where the blade of the Tessaiga pulsates and slowly forms into a whole blade of fragmented crystals. When the sword is whipped into an attack, many shards of spear-like crystals shoot out with the ability to penetrate any barrier, which is particularly useful against those that the Barrier Shatter cannot break.
Back To Top
Youki absorption / Youketsu cutting:
The acquisition of the Dragon-Scaled form gave Tessaiga the ability to theoretically absorb limitless amounts of youki, but because of Inuyasha's nature of as a han'you, he could not use this ability to its fullest extent without incurring potentially fatal penalties. This forced him to develop another technique which enabled him to "sense" a youkai's youketsu, then cut it with the Dragon-Scaled Tessaiga; by destroying this source of a youkai's youki, Inuyasha can effect a sort of instant-kill upon a youkai, or if its a gestalt entity like Moryomaru, systematic destruction of the creature by the death of its component parts (which it can't regenerate).
Back To Top
Meidou zangetsuha:
Meidou Zangetsuha(Black Gates Moon Slicing Wave) is an ability that creates a path to Hell (or a Meidou) through which to send an opponent; its perfected form is that of a large black sphere that resembles a hole in space. One can create a Meidou where the cut is made, or it can be fired like a projectile.
Back To Top
Kagome Higurashi:
Purification powers;Spiritual powers;Jewel Detecting;Time travel;Beads of subjugation;Way of the Bow;Sacred arrow;Sacred backlash wave
Purification Powers (Hama no reiryoku):
This ability means anything Kagome touches gets purified. By gathering an enormous amount of concentrated power into her right palm, she can direct it at her opponents. She also uses this to purify the Jewel.
Back To Top
Spiritual Powers:
Kagome can pass through barriers, spells, and/or illusions. Kagome is also able to sense evil auras and is unaffected by them. If possible, she is able to surround herself with her own spiritual powers to ward off any evil. It is later revealed that her powers to a great extent are sealed by the Shikon no Tama, so she may have other powers than these.
Back To Top
Jewel Detecting:
This allows her to sense the exact location of the Jewel shards. While other characters have shown a vague ability to see Shikon shards, only Kagome and Kikyo are able to sense the shards remotely.
Back To Top
Time Travel:
Kagome can travel back and forth 500 years between the present and the Feudal era using the magical well behind her family's shrine.
Back To Top
Beads of Subjugation (Osuwari/Sit):
Placed around InuYasha's neck by Kaede and empowered to "subdue" him at a word from Kagome. This slams InuYasha into the ground whenever she says the word "sit". The effect wears off quickly and InuYasha is able to get up again.
Back To Top
Kyudo (literally meaning "way of the bow"):
Kagome uses a basic bow as a weapon. Once she infuses her powers into the bow, she can use it to reflect an enemy's attack. Kagome uses a shortbow. This changes when later on in the manga, when Kagome locates a longbow with special spiritual powers. It has the power to strike evil spirits or the user's intended target bypassing others, if the opponent should happen to be using a hostage as a shield, the arrow will bypass the hostage and hit the enemy instead, only by using this particular bow.
Back To Top
Sacred Arrow (Hama no Ya):
Kagome infuses her powers into her arrows. This allows the arrows to penetrate demonic forces and to purify objects.
Back To Top
Sacred Backlash Wave:
This attack is actually a combined effort between InuYasha and Kagome. It consists of Kagome firing one of her Sacred Arrows into the center of InuYasha's Backlash Wave before it connects. When it hits the enemy there is a higher chance that he will be destroyed by the combined powers.
Miroku:
Wind tunnel;Super speed;Spell scrolls;Invisibility;Force field;Holy staff
Kazana (Wind Tunnel):
Miroku has a void in his hand that can suck anything in. Exactly to where it leads the matter it absorbs can be anybody's guess. Miroku's grandfather was cursed by Naraku with the void in his right hand, and it has passed on to his father and now him. As time passes the hole grows in size, and thus increases in power. If Naraku is not destroyed in time, Miroku will be drawn in sharing the fate of his father and grandfather.
Back To Top
Super Speed:
In short bursts, Miroku can run swiftly enough to keep pace with InuYasha; even if carrying extra weight (i.e., another person) on his back. Whether this speed is granted by spell or by innate ability or even as a result extensive physical training is unclear.
Back To Top
Spell Scrolls:
Can be used to paralyze demons and create barriers. Most are thrown and then bind to the demons, often for disarming purposes. Miroku usually employs these as an alternative for the Wind Tunnel.
Back To Top
Invisibility:
Miroku can mask objects (both living and inanimate) from the eyes of evildoers, by going into a state of intense meditation.
Back To Top
Force Field:
With the assistance of his staff, Miroku can create and temporarily sustain small protective force fields of reasonable strength.
Back To Top
Holy Staff:
Miroku's staff, known as a Shakujo, is a metal staff with a circular golden charm on the top. The charm is a circle with a pattern through the center of spheres and double crescents. On each side of the circle, there are three thin gold rings. It is effective in destroying demons due to its holy properties, though it strangely acts like a spear or an axe, cutting any demon it comes in contact with. His grandfather, Miyatsu, originally wielded it when he fought Naraku. This staff was able to stand up to the original Testsusaiga, indicating that it is a very powerful weapon on a similar level to the basic levels of the sword. This is most likely because his grandfather, who was very powerful, endowed it with his spiritual powers, or perhaps even forged it.
Back To Top
Sango:
Hiraikotsu;Demon paralyzing potions;Numbing potions;Dagger gauntlet;Wakizashi;Chain
Hiraikotsu:
The name of Sango's giant boomerang, and also the name of the attack using it. It was made from the bone of a demon, and this makes it nearly unbreakable and powerful. 'Hi-' means 'flying', 'rai-' means 'return' and '-kotsu' means 'bone', so the name can also mean "bone that flies back."
Back To Top
Demon Paralyzing Poisons:
Sango's knowledge of various poisons (particularly ones that affect only demon) is extensive, and she employs a few different kinds throughout the series. She wears a custom-fit gas mask to protect herself from some of the more potent ones.
Back To Top
Numbing Potions:
Used as an alternative for Hiraikotsu whenever Sango attempts to ensnare demons without killing them. She usually bakes these and prepares them disguised as baked goods (usually buns or donuts) placed on top of a small box for the demon to eat.
Back To Top
Dagger gauntlet:
Hidden in the sleeve of her kimono is a retractable dagger. The first time she uses it is when she fights Naraku at his castle. In one episode she used it to free herself when she was tied up by villagers. Another time she used it against Miroku while she was possessed by a demon egg. Her wrist blade is mostly used as a last resort.
Back To Top
Wakizashi:
A weapon that she sometimes uses in close combat or if she loses Hiraikotsu, but she prefers her main weapon. Many believe that this weapon is a katana but a katana would be too long to hold. It is actually the wakizashi, a shorter, one handed sword.
Back To Top
Chain:
Uses the chain as a whip and to constrict foes.
Back To Top
Shippo:
Fox magic;Weeping mushrooms;Smashing top;Divide;Fox fire;Shape-changing;Heart scar;Hidden cloud;Fire bomb attack;Wooden snake
Back To Top
Fox Magic:
An umbrella term for all his magical ability.
Back To Top
Naki Kinoko (Weeping Mushrooms):
Leaves a trail of wailing, crying mushrooms that can be followed to his current location, or can also be used in a blast like formation where every individual mushroom tackles an enemy or target in a huge swarm.
Back To Top
Tsubushi Goma (Smashing Top):
Illusionary magic using a small toy top that gives the appearance and presence of a very large top, often used to pin opponents to the ground.
Back To Top
Bunshin (Divide):
Using special happa (leaves), creates many illusionary clones of Shippo that distract the enemy.
Back To Top
Kitsune-bi (Fox Fire):
Summons a ghostly-looking blue fire. Used mostly for defense but works as an effective attack against weak demon.
Back To Top
Shape-changing:
Deceives the enemy by transforming into another creature, person or object. These transformations are often incomplete, his untransformed tail (in Japanese folklore, the kitsune are believed to have the greatest difficulty in shape-shifting their tails) usually gives him away, and the appearance usually can't be maintained for very long. He is also able to transform to a pink balloon-like shape with limited flying ability to carry one light person like Kagome. Shippo has also transformed into a spider (episode 13) thinking that InuYasha was afraid of spiders. Near the beginning of InuYasha The Movie 2: The Castle Beyond The Looking Glass, it is seen that he turns into a large duck-like creature carrying Kagome in order to confront Naraku. Also in the same movie, he turns into a bow for Kagome (at her request), but feels pain when she actually tried using him in battle. This originally occurred in episode 10 as Shippo's own idea sans pain (it was also oddly shaped: Kagome at first thought it was a snail).
Back To Top
Kokoro no Kizu (Wound of the Heart, or lit. Wounded Heart) (Dub = Heart Scar):
Shippo's answer to the Kaze no Kizu. He learned this new attack while fighting a lizard yokai (episode 130). Shippo simply inflicts a painful but not deadly bite. This technique may release some of the yokai's energy every time it strikes, as Shippo says that he saw the Kaze no Kizu, but since he has so little it has no noticeable effect (the lizard was for the most part annoyed at him).
Back To Top
Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud):
In episode 136, Shippo combines happa and a talisman given to him by the old woman exorcist (introduced in episode 85) to become invisible. Of course, like his other transformations, it doesn't last very long.
Back To Top
Bakuraizutsu (Fire Bomb Attack):
Used only twice. Once in the Togenkyo arc and again against the Zushi rats.
Back To Top
Wooden Snake:
Seen in chapter 506 of the manga. Used "against" InuYasha. This materializes a large, segmented, toy snake that Shippo wields by grabbing on to its tail tip.
