There's no official announcement about Movie 5.

You Tube

Why am I exposing the hoax?

(By the way, the video I used for this is the original anime trailer from back in 2000.)

1. The staff who were resonsible for creating the four Inuyasha movies have stated publicly in multiple news articles and interviews that there are CURRENTLY NO PLANS to create a 5th movie.

2. I trust Japanese websites, 2ch.net, my issues of Weekly Shounen Sunday magazine, and Japanese blogs far more than any single USA-based magazine.

3. The Inuyasha manga community is far more informed of every piece of Inuyasha related news than you could ever be. We have people that scour the Japanese blogosphere and imageboards/chatboards for IY information on a daily basis and the existence of a 5th movie is something that has never been substantiated. In fact, the rumor was disproven ever since early 2005 after the fourth movie came out in Japan.

4. "Final Confrontation" has been used across Youtube for as long as the site has been in existence claiming the ending to the IY PS2 game is the 5th movie.

5. "Final Confrontation" is English. Why would the name of a movie that doesn't exist have an English title? I haven't heard any proof that a movie with that title in Japanese or English even exists.

6. Finally, there would hard evidence online and offline of the existence of a 5th movie. If it existed in Japan or was in production, the Internet would be all over it. There hasn't been a peep on any reputable English or Japanese website.

Trust me, I scanlate Inuyasha and a weekly basis and my translator, Patches, will vouch for me that there is no 5th movie nor any trailer for it.

Also, as a bonus, here's the pre-anime and extremely eary-manga Shounen Sunday promotional clip from 1997.
