Inuyasha Workout Routine: Train like The Half Demon Inuyasha!

Last updated on December 8th, 2021 at 07:54 pm

As you guys know we’re working on getting the most powerful anime characters that exist in all worlds here at SHJ so we can start doing more nerdy listicles.

And an Inuyasha inspired workout is a much for that reason!

Inuyasha is a perfect new character to be added to our Anime Workouts Database, and will (spoiler alert) likely be making the list of the most powerful anime characters of all time.

So far we’ve seen The Most Powerful Superheroes of All Time, and The Most Powerful Superhero With NO Powers, but as far as anime routines and characters go those listicles have all been based around workouts and just helpful to make your way through the huge Workout Database we now have.

But now we’re making our way into the world of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha Stats:

Real Name: Inuyasha

Height: 5’9

Weight: 165 lbs.

Anime: Inuyasha

Powers: Yes

Inuyasha is right around average height, standing a little taller than Goku and at the same range as Saitama.

Although his 165 is quite light, we know he can pack a punch behind it.

Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4.  Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.

One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.

We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.

Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.

But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.

We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Inuyasha Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**

Every hero needs to still have a good diet.

Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.

You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.

You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.

Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.

Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Inuyasha Workout Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

To get us started I want to share a bit of a bio (I don’t say brief because it’s actually much longer than what we’re used to see, especially for MHA characters), and then work our way into his powers and abilities.

For that we’ll be using his Wiki Fandom, which tells us this about him:

Inuyasha is the main protagonist, as well as the title character, in the manga series InuYasha and its anime adaptation. The half-demon son of a great demon father, known as the Inu no Taishō, and a human mother named Izayoi; he was bound to a sacred tree by a magical arrow from the priestess Kikyō’s bow while attempting to capture the Shikon Jewel. Inuyasha sought the Jewel, thinking it could transform him into a full-fledged demon. Kagome Higurashi, Kikyō’s reincarnation, released him from this spell, but soon after, she accidentally shattered the Shikon no Tama into hundreds of fragments. They reluctantly agreed to work together as a team on Kaede’s behalf to recover all of the fragments that had scattered across Feudal Japan before they fell into the wrong hands. Over time they developed a close bond and eventually fell in love and got married, and became parents to a daughter they named Moroha. Unfortunately, they had be parted for most her early life, having sent her away for her own safety.

So we’re working with a half demon!

We’ve seen some other characters that are “half bloods” here at SHJ like Rin Okumura’s Workout from Blue Exorcist who is the son of Satan, Gohan’s Workout who is a half saiyan from DBZ, Blade’s Workout who is a half vampire from Marvel, Yuji’s Workout from Jujutsu Kaisen, Yusuke’s Workout from Yuyu Hakusho, Ichiogo’s Workout from Bleach and so many more!

Maybe we need to actually get a half-breed listicle here at SHJ as well!

As for Inuyasha’s powers and abilities: there’s a LONG list.

Here’s the start of what his Wiki Fandom has to tell us:

Inuyasha is a hanyō, born from a powerful Inu-Daiyōkai and a human mother. His father, the Inu no Taishō, was a powerful and respected demon who governed the Western Country of Japan. Despite being a half-demon, his demonic power level is the same as a normal demon with no auxiliary skill.^[16] A testament to his powers as a half-demon was that he was able to easily kill Mistress Centipede, who had absorbed the entire Shikon Jewel, with one attack at the beginning of the series when his powers were at their weakest and most untrained which is much more impressive considering that he had done so in mere moments after being unsealed by Kagome. Regardless, Inuyasha was one of the most powerful demons seen thus far, and throughout his journey, he was able to take on many powerful supernatural beings (e.g., Shikon Jewel-empowered opponents, deities, and legendary figures like Magatsuhi and Demon of the Shikon no Tama).

With that his list of powers are listed as such:

• Immense Demonic Power
• Enhanced Strength
• Enhanced Speed
• Enhanced Agility and Reflexes
• Enhanced Stamina
• Enhanced Endurance
• Accelerated Healing
• Enhanced Senses

And a long list that also includes his claws, blood solidification, longevity, limited time travel, transformation, and more.

That’s not even including the fact that he’s also a master combatant and swordsman!

So we have our work cut out for us.

For the most part we’ll be focusing in on building strength while shredding our physique to look like Inuyasha so we actually look the part; which will go perfectly with the fact that we’ll need to work on our speed, agility, reflexes and stamina/endurance to fit the part as well.

Think you can handle it?
