TRIVIA:

 * It's pretty obvious that Inuyasha comes from the Sengoku Period while Kenshin Himura and his allies come from the Meiji Period. Wonder what that's all about? It's rumored that Kenshin, Kamiya, Sagara, and Myojin must had found a similar hole in their respective period that took them to the Sengoku Period.
 * Mickey Alheim, Taku Machibana, Romiko Machibana, Fiji Himura, and Gorokai Ugsutodai were the show's original characters.
 * As for Mickey Alheim, he is a member of an unnamed organization, which will be revealed as the show progresses. When Optimus asks who sent him, a fail-safe device implanted inside Alheim self-destructs, killing him. Who sent Alheim back in time to wipe Japan off the map? We'll find out soon...
