You are...

I want you to use my shard.

I could sense you following me.

Do you understand what it means to use your shard?

I've always been ready to sacrifice my life.

You do not fear death?

I do not.

His eyes show no fear or uncertainty.

Is life so painful for you?

If we had met under different circumstances,

my duty would be to heal this child's wounded soul

and encourage him to live.

I lament my inability to save this child.

Forgive me, Kohaku.

Split up from us?!.

What's that supposed to mean, Koga?!

Shut it. I already made up my mind.

I'll chase Naraku down on my own.

These Shikon Jewel shards have gotten the entire Wolf-Demon tribe involved.

Plus, I don't know when my legs will stop moving again because of Midoriko's will.

So it's too dangerous to be around me!

You'll only get in my way!

You're lying!

You can't do anything...

...without us around!

Why do you sound so sure about that?

But Koga...

We're after the same thing.

We'll be bumping into each other again.

Don't try to beat me to the punch. you crazy wolf.

You'd better learn how to use that sword.

Yeah, I know.

I know you must feel lonely, Kagome.

Bear with me.

See ya.

Thank you! Goodbye!

Take care, Miss Kagome!

See you next time!

You too!

THE GREAT HOLY DEMON SPIRIT'S TEST

Curse you, Kinka!

Today will be the day I shatter your skull!

Silence, Ginka!

I shall burn your head to a crisp!

Moryomaru.

a strong power binds Kinka and Ginka.

Obtaining the power of that strong bond...

will strengthen the link between you and your shell.

Consume them!

Man, what'd he do this time?

Tetsusaiga hurt Inuyasha!

That's never happened before.

Old Man Totosai!

Here, let me have a look.

It can absorb demonic energy now.

So?

That's why I'm asking you what the problem is.

Nothing's wrong with Tetsusaiga.

If there's a problem, it's you, Inuyasha.

Inuyasha?

Listen up. Demonic energy is like poison.

Tetsusaiga was forged from the fang of your father.

who was a great demon.

There is no limit to the amount of demonic energy it can hold.

However, you are a half-demon and don't have the power

to restrain the energy absorbed by Tetsusaiga.

Now show me your hands.

Hah, you gonna read my fortune or something?

Fool.

This much damage and you still refused to let go of the sword?

The Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga grew hotter as it absorbed more energy.

It was warning you of the danger and telling you to let go.

Tetsusaiga didn't want to hurt Inuyasha.

So, what should I do?

You have to become stronger to handle a stronger Tetsusaiga.

That means...

He'll have to train hard.

There isn't time for that!

It's your fault for ignoring my warning.

Bastard! I'm practically on my knees begging you!

Do you realize how conceited you sound?

There's no other option...

Go meet the Great Holy Demon Spirit then.

The Great Holy Demon Spirit?

He's like the demon version of a wise hermit.

You'll have to go train under him

if you wish to master the Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga.

I'll blow you away!

Who is it?

Who dares interfere in our battle?

Just a little bit of their blood can be this effective...?

Kinka and Ginka, I like what I see!

I shall feast on your corpses!

Don't expect you can get away...

...after hurting my body!

Where is it?!.

- Fool! - Fool!

What?!.

One of us will eventually take over this body!

It is foolish to think that you could possibly consume us!

Your armor cannot save you!

Fire and lightning shall penetrate your body

and incinerate you from the inside!

Hey now.

won't Naraku's heart be in danger at this rate?

Honestly, would you normally try to kill a person right off the bat?

I can smell Naraku's scent on you.

That is all the reason I need.

Heh, you would be Lord Sesshomaru?

What is Moryomaru doing?

That's what I want to know, which is why I'm watching.

Kinka wasn't able to break free.

Now's my chance to take his head!

Damn you, Ginka!

You fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.

B-Bastard...

You were the ones who chose this fate.

You began fighting amongst yourselves the second I loosened my tendrils!

Shut up!

I will shut you up!

The power which bound Kinka and Ginka's demonic energy, huh?

He's grown even stronger now.

Naraku might get his butt kicked.

Huh? Lord Sesshomaru?

Sesshomaru.

Moryomaru, why not test your new power on me?

You look like you're itching to test a new blade.

Take this!

Meido Zangetsuha!

You won't get away!

Don't be mad.

Naraku ordered me to let him escape.

So long, Lord Sesshomaru.

Still, I wouldn't have expected a wise hermit...

...to live in the middle of a village.

Hey, are you sure this is the right way?

Here?

Hey! Help me!

Huh?!.

Now this is what I would expect from the residence of a demon hermit.

Anyway, we need to find whoever was crying out.

Hey!

Over here!

Help me already!

Laundry?

No, it just spoke.

Then, could this be...

The Great Holy Demon Spirit?

Whew, you saved me.

You're Inuyasha?

I'll train you well.

At least, that's what I want to say, but...

But?

It's impossible. Leave.

Bastard!

Why?!.

Sit, boy!

Um, why is that?

Last night...

I was preparing for your training when a demon attacked me from behind.

It took my guts.

Which is why I'm like this now.

Um, we'll help out.

We just have to recover your innards. right?

Kagome! Don't decide stuff on your own.

You can't help.

A half-demon and a bunch of humans cannot deal with this foe.

Sorry about being a half-demon.

Cut that out.

What is it, Kirara?

Demons everywhere!

Bah, I'll cut 'em all down at once!

No! Stop that fool!

Huh? Inuyasha, sit!

What are you doing?!.

Can't you tell?

Those are villagers.

What?!.

Their appearance has been altered by magic.

And the demonic energy drifting in the air is the energy from my innards.

Your guts, wise one?

The demon is probably unable to move

after sucking in too much energy from my innards.

So it transformed the villagers' appearance to hide among them.

It's easier to hide when you blend in.

Heh, that means a real demon is nearby, right?

Then it's simple.

I just have to find it and beat it up!

Well, that's true.

Bastard! What's the meaning of this?!.

A seal.

I can't allow you to cut down everything you see.

Hey, wait up!

W-Whatever do you want?

We're simple travelers.

Hah! You can't fool my nose by pretending to be a human.

Oh? You could tell?!.

I can't draw my sword!

But these are actual demons!

We'll rip you apart!

Sheesh! Too much of a pain!

What's going on, you dishrag?!.

I couldn't draw Tetsusaiga against actual demons!

Because neither of them was the one who ate my innards.

That's difficult.

Yes, not only have the villagers been changed to look like demons.

but there are unrelated demons in the mix.

Hey, there are more chains now.

That's because you hit innocent parties.

You must be the ones making a ruckus!

Put down your weapons and surrender!

Get on, Kagome.

Okay.

You won't be able to see the sword at this rate.

Shut up!

This way!

Why did you help us?

I felt helpless.

My mother has been bedridden since last night.

So I went out for some medicine...

When I returned, the village was full of demons.

It hurts...

According to what you said. she was transformed into that by magic.

Gennosuke.

Are you there?

The demonic energy coming from your body is energy from my innards!

And?

Are you going to cut open my belly and take them back?!.

So you've shown your true form!

What's going on?!. This is the culprit!

Too many additional chains. Tough luck.

What?

Stand back, Inuyasha!

We'll handle this!

Master Miroku! Sango!

What was that? Did the demon do it?

Well? Your buddies have run away.

Are you going to remove the chains by force now?

Hah! You read my mind!

These burns...

Tetsusaiga doesn't want me to draw it.

What's wrong, kid?

Is the sword on your hip for decoration?

Iron-Reaver. Soul-Stealer!

It's useless to mindlessly slash at it!

Look for the demon vortex!

Demon vortex?!.

Silence, you freak that won't die!

Iron-Reaver, Soul-Stealer!

Bah, this will never end!

What was that demon vortex nonsense the old geezer was talking about?!

This is demonic energy!

I shall dissolve you in my venom!

Inuyasha!

I'll save you!

Gennosuke?!

Don't interfere.

Kagome! I'm coming!

Damn! It's filling with venom!

Swirls of demonic energy? Are those demon vortices?!.

It's useless.

A failure like you could never see through this.

One of those is real!

Where?! Where is it?!.

Where could it be?!.

The smell!

Blades of Blood!

One of the swirls smells different from the others!

Inuyasha!

Kagome, you okay?

I smelled incense coming from the demon vortex.

The level of demonic energy hasn't gone down.

So the real demon is somewhere else?!.

The villagers are still under that spell.

And there's no sign of the seal on Tetsusaiga being released.

The same scent!

The old geezer!

Mr. Great Holy Demon Spirit?!.

The Great Holy Demon Spirit died...

while you were occupied with the snakewoman.

So you were working together!

As a result, the Great Holy Demon Spirit's innards are now part of my flesh and blood.

Bastard! How could you do that to the old dishrag?

It's your fault, kid!

Your sword is a sword which absorbs demonic energy.

We cannot ignore such a weapon.

much less allow it to be strengthened.

That's why you attacked the dishrag hermit?

Got a problem with that, kid?

I'll kill you!

You cannot draw your sword.

because the Great Holy Demon Spirit placed a seal on it!

That won't matter if you're the real enemy I'm looking for!

If the dishrag hermit was killed for getting involved with me.

I'll avenge his death!

Tetsusaiga!

Let's do this. Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga!

You can see my demon vortices?

But you won't be able to determine which one is real!

That one! I'm sure of it!

Prepare yourself!

I can't move the sword!

You'll find me more difficult than the snake woman!

A backlash of demonic energy?!.

You think that's enough to defeat me?

I just have to beat you down!

Th-This is...

Every cut you make exposes your blade to corrosion from demonic energy.

A crack in Tetsusaiga!

I have consumed the Great Holy Demon Spirit's boundless demonic energy!

Which means you haven't the slightest chance of winning!

The real demon vortex is somewhere else!

Take this!

The demonic energy I was exposed to...

The demonic energy coming from the ox ogre's body...

They smell the same, but I can smell something stronger!

From behind!

Kagome! Let go of that dishrag!

Huh?

Turning your back on a foe?!

Don't be fooled!

The real demon vortex is...!

I see it! I'll end this with one strike!

Hold on, Tetsusaiga!

Everything's back to normal.

Lady Kagome!

Everybody's okay!

The spell on the village has been broken!

You did well to find the real demon vortex.

You were alive, old geezer?

The time has finally come to show you my true form.

You must be surprised by how I used that form to deceive you.

There isn't much difference between that form and this one.

Well, this one isn't flat.

Great Holy Demon Spirit. you were lying about your innards getting stolen.

Then the snakewoman and ox ogre...

All part of my illusion.

Bastard... What was the point of this elaborate charade?

To retrain you.

Retrain me?

To teach you the power to find true demonic energy.

and there was something else that you needed to learn.

He needed to learn?

What was it?

I'll tell you eventually.

Tell me now.

Basically.

you were constantly exposed to demonic energy in my illusionary world.

and by the end, your eyes had been trained to spot demon vortices.

What about the chains on Tetsusaiga?

I arranged for the sword to snap if drawn unnecessarily.

That's why Tetsusaiga was warning me.

And the last stage dealt with how to use the Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga.

How to use it?

I have a message from Totosai.

"Tetsusaiga is not meant to absorb demonic energy."

"It is simply a sword that cuts."

A sword that cuts?

A question.

Why did you cut that last demon vortex?

Tetsusaiga was cracked...

So I needed to end the fight in one strike.

Oh, it wasn't because you understood the theory.

But that is what truly matters:

you and your sword are connected.

That is all.

Draw Tetsusaiga.

What crazy demonic energy!

Is that from the Great Holy Demon Spirit?

Yes. Since you cut my demon vortex.

My demonic energy is strong.

Strong enough to slice your average demon vortex in two.

Great Holy Demon Spirit.

sorry about judging you by your appearance.

You should be thanking him, Inuyasha.

I took him to be an unreliable half-demon brat,

but he completed my training.

However, one last form of Tetsusaiga remains.

Inuyasha, you'll have to discover that on your own.

I had this specially prepared for you.

Accept it and return to my body.

Naraku has swallowed the demon tree, Yomeiju!

It was part of a secret plan for cornering his heart, the Infant!

with Koga and his shards, along with Inuyasha and company, mixed into the fray.

the three-way struggle with Naraku and Moryomaru's group

is finally coming to an end!

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "The End of Moryomaru"

Curse you, Naraku!

So you intend to take me with you.

THE END OF MORYOMARU
