Sunrise Plotholes of tfa regarding Byakuyas character

Byakuya was a character who was really often represented in the manga, was one of Rumikos favorites, and also a lot of the readers adored him. But Sunrise didn't took enough time to tell his full story or give him at least one or two filler episodes like the other incarnations.

The incarnation we know most about is Kagura. We saw her relationship with Naraku, her relationship with Inuyasha + his friends and mostly important her relationship with Sesshomaru (which Sunrise also treated like shit but I will come to this later)

1. We got no foreshadowing of Byakuya. He was introduced the same way as Kagura by attacking the wolf demon tribe. But we saw it only when the demon he hired had just finished killing most of the wolves. Why was there no scene where we see him hiring the demon? Where you see him for the first time but don't see his face, just hear his voice and see him from behind (just like Kagura) just something to make him more attractive for the viewers. Or we can see Naraku giving him the order to attack the wolf demons but also don't see his face. That's for that.

2. Byakuyas smell. Koga figured out very soon who he was because of his smell. So did Inuyasha (only in the manga). His introduction in the manga makes way more sense. Inuyasha calling him Naraku offspring and Byakuya says, that he has to take care of his smell more. Done. Pothole in the anime is, that Sesshomaru attacks him because of his smell and that's it. In the following meetings, Sesshomaru never notices his smell again and only realized Byakuya was there when he stood next to him. How? In the episode where Magatsuhi was introduced, Byakuya spied on Sesshomaru and he DIDNT NOTICE even tho he was flying right ABOVE HIM? Pothole.

3. Byakuyas relationships- what did he thought about Naraku? Was he just loyal or did he also hate him and was only loyal because of his heart? Or did Byakuya posses a heart because Naraku trusted him? Their relationship is way better shown in the manga.

4. Why wasn't he bleeding in the final act, but said that his wound looks bad and that he's in pain?

5. How come he loses his arm in one episode and it's back in the next? Even with his Kimono, which was destroyed before. How? Sesshomaru was without his arm for such a long time and Byakuya just repairs in one episode? I know Byakuya is powerful but I highly doubt he is above Sesshomarus power.

6. Why is his sword so...complicated? He had to die before it worked? What is with that?

7. Conclusion- his whole character was wasted. He had so much potential. And Sunrise just didn't care. God I hate this people.
