What's wrong, Master Jaken?

Can't you sense it?

Tenseiga's Meido expanded considerably

after that incident in the underworld,

but it still can't form a complete circle.

That's why Lord Sesshomaru remains irritable and ill-humored.

I'm scared.

Lord Sesshomaru.

Do you wish to know the secret behind what Tenseiga lacks?

What?!

The secret behind what Tenseiga lacks, you say?

Yes, does it not trouble you?

Tenseiga's Meido has yet to achieve a complete circle.

Why you!

How do you know that?!

Silence, Jaken.

Oh, me? I didn't say a word...

Why do you always lie like that?

If you wish to know, follow me.

Lord Sesshomaru...

A COMPLETE MEIDO

This way!

I can sense a Shikon Jewel shard.

It's Kohaku.

Sesshomaru's scent is also nearby.

So they were moving together.

That would make it hard for Naraku to reach them.

A prudent decision.

Kohaku...

Lord Sesshomaru, are you acquainted with that odd child?

No.

Well, might this not be a trap then?

A trap?!

Dangling the secret behind Tenseiga to draw out

Lord Sesshomaru and take his life, or something like that?

Then I will simply slay him.

The child disappeared.

Up there?!

Meido Zangetsuha!

Master Jaken! Grab on!

That's why I said it might be a trap!

You're still alive, Master Jaken?

Did you want me to die?!

You purposefully aimed at my footing...

You knew your enemy was here.

Are you so desperate to learn the secret behind Tenseiga, Sesshomaru?

Wh-Who are you?!

I care not who you are, but why do you know about Tenseiga?

I fought against that sword long ago.

Though when I fought against your old man.

that sword was in a different form.

Against Father...?

Curse you! How dare you make yourself look young!

It was in a different form?

So you will fight without using your sword

in order to learn the secret?

It seems that you underestimate me... Shishinki!

The Meido...?!.

That was...

Meido Zangetsuha.

But Lord Sesshomaru's is bigger!

But that was a full circle!

Meido Zangetsuha was originally my technique!

But then, Sesshomaru, your old man stole it!

Along with my face!

From what I've heard, you summoned me here to whine about

your technique being stolen and your face being destroyed?

Only one practitioner is needed.

Especially if the other is an incomplete blade like Tenseiga!

Incomplete?

- Look out! - Lord Sesshomaru!

What do you know?

You wish to know, as you approach your doom?

It appears that you have no intention of answering me.

In that case, you are no longer needed!

Sesshomaru, your Meido is needlessly large.

You will never complete a full circle!

What?!

Lord Sesshomaru's Meido has been absorbed by Shishinki's Meido!

Sesshomaru!

Inuyasha.

Kohaku!

Sister...

Is that...?.

Sh-Shishinki!

Myoga.

You're still around.

Hey Myoga, do you know that guy Sesshomaru's fighting?

Yes.

He's known as Shishinki, the Ogre of Death.

It's a demon that was defeated by

you and Lord Sesshomaru's father long ago.

I didn't expect him to have survived.

Th-This isn't good.

If Lord Sesshomaru learns the secret behind Tenseiga...

Is that the old flea Myoga?

If you're over there, then there is no mistake.

That is Meido Zangetsuha!

Bastard!

What was that for?!.

Wind Scar!

So it is indeed Tetsusaiga.

I heard he had two sons...

But he gave Tetsusaiga to the younger one?

Hey, Sesshomaru!

Why are you fighting with this guy?

Sesshomaru, do you not find it strange?

Shouldn't the elder brother have received Tetsusaiga?

That fiend.

Bringing up the one thing that's always on Lord Sesshomaru's mind!

Lord Sesshomaru has already tried to take Tetsusaiga many times!

He even had his left arm cut off.

Lately, he's finally given up and

focused on training Tenseiga and now...

Master Jaken, your explanation makes perfect sense.

But if Lord Sesshomaru heard that, he would knock you out cold.

Shishinki, you summoned me here to fight, did you not?

Then there is no need for idle chat!

Sesshomaru's also using that technique!

And his is way bigger!

But his technique is incomplete.

Master Myoga, didn't you go with Inuyasha?

He ditched him.

Sesshomaru, do you know?

Do you know how Tenseiga was born?

As I said.

Tenseiga took a different form back when I fought your old man.

No, Tenseiga didn't even exist.

The one I fought against was Tetsusaiga!

Is he saying Tetsusaiga was the one that stole Meido Zangetsuha?!

So you didn't know...

Sesshomaru, your Tenseiga was originally Tetsusaiga's...

Silence!

I presume that your old man was unable to

control Meido Zangetsuha after stealing it.

Is that true, Myoga?

Y-Yes.

It's true that my lord was pondering how to use it.

That is why he cast it away from Tetsusaiga.

And that unwanted technique was given to your Tenseiga, Sesshomaru!

Unwanted technique, you say?

Tenseiga was cast off from Tetsusaiga?

Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga were originally one sword?

Why?

Why did Father...?

On top of that, the younger brother smells part-human.

So he bequeathed Tetsusaiga, the original sword.

to a half-demon?

Sesshomaru, you must have been shunned by your father.

Why?

Tetsusaiga's barrier rejects me from even touching it.

I can do this!

Tetsusaiga!

It's right there!

I was given Tenseiga, a sword for healing instead of fighting...

And the technique I finally learned, Meido Zangetsuha,

was one Tetsusaiga no longer needed.

Why would Father treat me so?

Do you understand now?

That Tenseiga is an incomplete sword.

Tenseiga. merely part of Tetsusaiga.

can never release a complete Meido Zangetsuha!

No matter how hard you train!

Look out. Lord Sesshomaru!

Wind Scar!

Half-demon. helping out your elder brother?

No need to hurry. I shall deal with you after I've buried Sesshomaru!

Shut up!

What was that for, bastard?!

I will not allow you to interfere!

He's just lashing out!

However, if everything said was true, that would be cruel.

You can't blame Sesshomaru for being angry.

But if the technique was really needless.

couldn't it have been removed in a different way?

Instead. their father chose to leave it in Tenseiga

and entrust Sesshomaru with it.

Even if Lord Sesshomaru learns the reason

my lord left him with Tenseiga, he won't be able to accept it.

Begone to the underworld!

Shishinki's Meido is strong, but small!

He just has to avoid it!

How long will you be able to evade me?!

He can fire a bunch at once?!

Stop, Sesshomaru!

Even you can't dodge all those consecutive hits!

Despair has driven you to charge heedlessly?

You're naive, Sesshomaru!

Lord Sesshomaru!

We have to move away or we'll be hit!

Fool!

You think you can defeat me with mere claws?!.

He's doing a magnificent job of dodging...

But his movements are being predicted.

It's only a matter of time before he's caught.

Sesshomaru can't think clearly

because of the stuff about his father.

This won't do.

I must tell Lord Sesshomaru what my lord had in mind.

Ah, but I lack the means to approach.

Is this the end?

I'll lend you a hand.

Huh?

Get going!

Don't wanna!

You're at least good at running away.

Scum.

I am not running away.

Lord Sesshomaru!

Please listen to what I have to say!

I came racing over because I couldn't stay silent any longer!

Oh...?.

Lord Sesshomaru!

Your father bequeathed Tenseiga to you because of who you are!

Meido Zangetsuha is a fearsome attack

which sends its foes directly to the underworld.

It is not a technique that any person can use!

True.

Your half-demon brother would not be able to endure

the demonic energy from the underworld.

Your father was betting on the strength of

Lord Sesshomaru, a true demon.

He believed that you would eventually be able to

master Meido Zangetsuha and properly wield it.

That is why...

That was his reason for casting Tenseiga off of Tetsusaiga?

Huh?

A bizarre story.

Could he not have bequeathed Tetsusaiga.

with Meido Zangetsuha, to Sesshomaru?

If he truly had faith in Sesshomaru...

Y-You have a point.

Hey.

Don't let him win the argument.

I-I'm starting to feel sorry for Lord Sesshomaru.

Back down, Myoga.

There is no longer anything to discuss.

Lord Sesshomaru!

Only got one arm?

I already lost my left arm

to the Tetsusaiga, which Father left Inuyasha.

However!

I do not hold a grudge.

It just happened in battle.

How dare you hit my face!

The secret behind Tenseiga...

It was not meant to be uttered by your wretched mouth.

Every word you speak brings shame to it.

Silence!

You shall regret damaging my face as your father did!

Sesshomaru!

I told you not to interfere!

I don't think so!

Adamant Barrage!

Tenseiga?

Tetsusaiga?!

Sesshomaru, draw Tenseiga!

Something might happen!

Are you telling me to fight together with Tetsusaiga?

No.

Are you telling me to fight to aid Tetsusaiga and Inuyasha?

There's nowhere for you to run to up here in the sky.

You're out of options.

Tetsusaiga cast off Tenseiga to be rid of

the abominable Meido Zangetsuha.

After bequeathing that Tenseiga to me,

I am supposed to aid Inuyasha?

Be gone to the underworld.

together with the precious swords your old man left you!

Inuyasha!

There are too many!

They can't escape!

Lord Sesshomaru!

Sesshomaru!

What was Father thinking when he gave me Tenseiga?

I no longer care.

However, Shishinki, my life is not meant to be taken by scum like you!

Lord Sesshomaru's Meido Zangetsuha has finally achieved a full circle!

It's swallowing Shishinki's Meido.

Impossible!

Tenseiga was supposed to be incomplete!

I-I see.

I pity you, Sesshomaru!

Your old man was cruel indeed!

Amazing.

So strong...

The surrounding landscape's been altered.

But that was close.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru would have been goners in another moment.

Honestly, that took years off my life.

Myoga...

You pop up in a safe area...

Again.

Hey, Sesshomaru, wasn't that a complete Meido Zangetsuha?

Wait up, Sesshomaru!

You just mastered Tenseiga!

It's safe to assume that, right?

Dad was dead before I can remember.

That's why I don't know what he was thinking!

But the stuff Shishinki was saying, about Tenseiga being

a part Tetsusaiga didn't need, or being incomplete...

That was all made-up.

Dad gave you Tenseiga because he trusted you, right?!

Inuyasha!

Why do you ask?

Because I don't want you giving me trouble about this sword again!

Let's make it clear that Tenseiga was a proper keepsake from Dad!

Inuyasha is showing respect for Tenseiga.

Is he trying to cheer up Sesshomaru?

Will he get through?

Well, Sesshomaru?

Inuyasha, are you blind?

What?!

Tenseiga delivered a Meido in a full circle

because Tetsusaiga was nearby.

They responded to one another, and that will lead to...

Your old man was cruel indeed!

Inuyasha.

You and I are destined to fight one another until we die.

Remember that.

H-Hey!

Please wait. Lord Sesshomaru!

Kohaku, shouldn't you say hello to your sister?

No, we'll follow Lord Sesshomaru.

Kohaku...

My lord entrusted Lord Sesshomaru

with Tenseiga because he trusted him.

But it appears Lord Sesshomaru realized my lord's true intention.

Sesshomaru...

Sesshomaru visits Totosai after realizing

Tenseiga's hidden true purpose!

Naraku uses his absence as an opportunity to move!

Have you come for my shard?

The Shikon Jewel will be complete.

There is nowhere for you to run.

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "In Pursuit of Naraku"

Silence, Naraku!

I'm sick of listening to your nonsense.

IN PURSUIT OF NARAKU
