Also pretty funny I think they put it in here but don't translate it. Sesshomaru actually refers to himself as "this Sesshomaru". It's weird but he always has. LIke this sesshomaru is displeased, why have you called on this sesshomaru and such. You can hear him say his own name when he speaks.   See 3 other replies

Because this is Japanese. In Japanese whenever you use a name or refer to someone you give them a honorific. -Sama means lord or lady roughly, it's a honorific of great respect. -Kun is given to young boys or boys you know well. -Chan is for girls. Then Sango calls Miroku "houshi-sama" which means Lord Monk. Houshi means Monk and -sama is respect. So therefor it's translated as good monk, or lord monk. Sango is very respectful and grew up in a village where respect was important so that's why she says that. Miroku calls Kagome Kagome-sama as in Lady Kagome. Sesshomaru is Sesshomaru-sama (Lord Sesshomaru), this is why Jaken goes crazy when people call him Sesshomaru. To call someone without a honorific is considered taboo and rude. Which is why Inuyasha always calls people without honorifics :D he's a ruffian. ALL of the other characters use honorifics if you listen to them say the names. Kagome says "Sango-chan", used between girls who are friends. Obviously this wasn't included in english versions because no one would get it. Even some Japanese versions don't put them in to avoid confusion.   See 3 other replies

Different translators?Just as Miroku has always addressed Kagome as, "Kagome-sama," Sango has always addressed Miroku as, "houshi-sama." (since "sama" is one of the higher honorifics, I believe these would be roughly translated as, "Lady Kagome," or "Kagome, ma'am," and "Sir Monk.")   See 3 other replies
