I’ve always liked Rumiko’s stuff. I think I first ran across it when the internet first started to become common late 80s early 90s. I have a first volume of Urusei Yatsura manga English translated that’s getting near 40 years old. And the content was already a decade or two old at that point. Realistically, Inuyasha is proto-iseki even.
I’m sure Takahashi like Toriyama at this point, have a lot of cultural memory and inertia. Though I honestly would have thought by now that there would be proteges or others influenced by them, that would be more culturally relevant in this day and age.
