Original subtitles

Looks like something big went down here.

Rock Children, what happened here?

Tell me everything you saw and heard.

Begone to the Underworld!

How long will you be able to evade me?!

There!

My life is not meant to be taken by scum like you!

IN PURSUIT OF NARAKU

Hey, Master Jaken, where did Lord Sesshomaru go?

It pains me when I consider how Lord Sesshomaru must feel.

After painstakingly training with Tenseiga,

he learns that it was but a part of Tetsusaiga,

the sword bequeathed to Inuyasha.

Where did Lord Sesshomaru go?

Well, I have a pretty good idea.

MOVED

Okay, time to get going.

Uh, my home...

You thought you could escape, Totosai?

Howdy. I figured you might show up soon.

Lord Sesshomaru's so late, so late.

Shut up!

You've already said that a couple hundred times!

Then I'll sing a Master Jaken song.

What is this sensation?

What's wrong, Kohaku?

My Shikon Jewel shard is being defiled.

An evil presence is nearby.

Both of you need to run!

- Huh? - Huh?

Kohaku, it's been a while.

Naraku!

Totosai, you knew everything from the beginning?

More or less,

since I was the one who separated Tenseiga from Tetsusaiga

and forged it into a weapon.

So what are you going to do? Kill me?

Wait.

You met Shishinki, right?

I presume that your old man was unable

to control Meido Zangetsuha after stealing it.

That is why he cast it away from Tetsusaiga.

And that needless technique was carried on

by your Tenseiga, Sesshomaru!

Geez, I don't know what Shishinki told you,

but you were able to master Meido Zangetsuha in the end.

That means your father was correct

when he judged that you would be able to do so.

Totosai, do you really believe that I haven't realized the next step?

The next step?

How careless of you, Kohaku.

Have you come for my shard?

Why else would I be here? It's the last one.

With it, the Shikon Jewel will be complete.

Kikyo's the one who once purified your shard and protected it,

and she's no longer here.

There is nowhere for you to run.

Kohaku!

Kohaku! Hurry! Now's your chance!

Tetsusaiga is a sword that steals abilities from the weapons of its foe.

On the other hand, Tenseiga has no such power.

I pity you, Sesshomaru!

Your old man was cruel indeed!

Father's true intention was for me to perfect Meido Zangetsuha

before allowing Tenseiga to be absorbed back into Tetsusaiga.

Isn't that true?

Well, you've got me.

You figured that out, huh?

That's exactly right.

Dissatisfied?

Don't think that Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga is capable of cutting me!

Whoa!

Say, Sesshomaru...

Why do you think your father set up your swords this way?

Do you truly believe that he favored Inuyasha

and left you with the short end of the stick?

Well, it would be impossible for you to understand right now.

As long as you focus on that heirloom Tetsusaiga,

you will never understand your father's long-term plan.

Silence!

His long-term plan?

Abandon them all, Sesshomaru.

Abandon your attachment to the sword and to your hatred of Inuyasha.

Once you do, you will surpass your father.

I thought I was going to die!

What was that light?

The shard was defiled by Naraku's mere presence.

But a pure light flowed in when he touched it...

almost like it was being purified!

Lady Kikyo...

Did Lady Kikyo's power protect my shard?

Kikyo, did you do this?

You left a single speck of light in my Shikon Jewel,

and that purified Kohaku's shard.

W-We managed to get away.

I said that you have nowhere to run.

He's so persistent!

Kohaku, what do you believe Kikyo desired?

That woman completely purified your Shikon Jewel shard

for the sake of plunging that pure shard into my Shikon Jewel

and purifying me with it.

A-Un, go faster!

Even after death, Kikyo still threatens my life.

In other words,

my shard can still be used as a weapon for defeating Naraku?

However, Kohaku, don't delude yourself.

I can retrieve the Shikon Jewel shard without ever touching you.

Fly lower!

What does Naraku intend to do?!

He's going to sever my head and take it with him!

What?!

Exactly.

I will take your head with the shard in your neck,

allowing me to slowly defile it.

That's Naraku's miasma!

It seems like Kohaku's also there!

I can sense a Shikon Jewel shard!

Kohaku?!

Let's go!

Wasn't Kohaku supposed to be with Sesshomaru?!

No, I don't smell Sesshomaru nearby!

That bastard ran off somewhere!

Let us hurry!

If the shard is taken, Kohaku's life...

Yes!

Yo, how've you been?

Byakuya of the Dreams?!

Sorry, but I can't let you pass.

I'll get in trouble with Naraku.

We don't have time to waste on you!

Same here. I won't interfere long.

Naraku should be done with his business soon.

The shard is being defiled again!

Screw this!

Wind Scar!

Miasma!

Everyone, get back!

I'll use another Wind Scar to blow this miasma away!

I don't think so.

More miasma's being produced, no matter how many times you attack!

Stand back, Inuyasha!

Miroku!

Wind Tunnel!

Fool.

You won't survive if you suck in all this miasma.

Whoa!

Sango! Hurry to Kohaku!

Sorry!

Let's go, Kirara!

Damn!

Byakuya! Prepare yourself!

No thanks.

Damn it!

Master Miroku, are you in any pain?

I'm fine. Let's go after Sango!

You understand, right? The monk's body hasn't recovered.

He merely can't feel the pain.

The damage from the miasma hasn't healed.

Yeah.

Stupid Miroku. He looks perfectly fine.

He really can't feel any pain.

But the damage from the miasma must have spread.

What should I do?

If I allow Rin to get mixed up in this and be killed,

Lord Sesshomaru will slaughter me!

Master Jaken, let's split up! Please take Rin and run!

Kohaku?!

Huh?! That's crazy!

Er, can I?

No, Master Jaken!

Do you have time to worry about others?

Kohaku!

Rin, this is a mask! Don't take it off, no matter what!

The defilement of the shard is getting worse.

Kohaku, are you okay?!

Get away!

Run, Rin.

Kohaku...

Are you scared, Kohaku?

Scared that my demonic energy

will manipulate you into harming that girl?

Just like you killed your father and comrades.

Fear not.

You will no longer have to suffer.

Kohaku!

Naraku!

Sister!

Sango.

If you care for your brother, end his life so he may rest in peace.

Don't be ridiculous!

Do you not understand, Sango?

Death is the only way to save Kohaku's soul.

Think about it.

After escaping my control and coming to his senses,

you siblings still cannot be together.

Why is that?

Because Kohaku is avoiding you, his sister.

Who can blame him?

Sango, you saw everything which transpired.

That is why your presence reminds Kohaku of his hateful past.

Is that all you have to say?

Kohaku is avoiding me.

What's your point? I already knew that!

Sister...

Naraku, Kohaku may have been under your control,

but that doesn't change the fact that he killed our father.

I am constantly reminded of what happened on that day.

I'm sure Kohaku feels the same!

He feels anguish and shame for his actions.

That is why I can't let him die!

Until Kohaku can overcome that pain,

I will continue to fight you, Naraku!

Admirable resolve.

Though it won't be of any use.

The demonic presence has strengthened!

Hurry, Inuyasha!

Kohaku's shard continues to be defiled!

S-Sister... Please run away.

Kohaku!

Sister!

Oh? You can speak while under my control?

Amusing.

As long as that Shikon Jewel shard is in your body,

your body will do as I say, even if you remain conscious.

Curse you!

What will you do, Sango?

How will you save Kohaku?

Silence, Naraku!

I'm sick of listening to your nonsense!

Sango!

You expect to defeat me with Hiraikotsu at this point?

Impossible...

I, an accumulation of demonic energy, was shattered by demonic energy?!

N-No... That is more than my demonic energy.

It carries a different poison.

My body cannot recover!

Okay!

Adamant Barrage!

You won't get away!

Wind Tunnel!

Damn! He got away!

Hiraikotsu...

Sango, are you all right?

That was amazing, Sango.

Hiraikotsu is so much stronger than before!

Yes. I was also surprised.

It smells like the Master of Potions' liquor.

I see...

This Hiraikotsu has endured my herbs and poisons.

It won't be "the way it was."

Huh?

You won't understand until you fight.

Don't be surprised by the change.

Hiraikotsu can now draw in demonic energy and shatter it.

Thank you. I can fight on equal footing with Naraku now.

Is Rin okay?

Jaken, why are you stuck to my leg?

You stepped on me!

Kohaku! Hang in there!

Kohaku can't move?

Kohaku?

It's because the Shikon Jewel shard has been defiled.

We need to purify it immediately.

That was another mess.

Shut your...mouth.

Yeah, yeah.

This is...

A fragment of the Mirror Demon. A memento of Kanna.

Go give it to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru?

Yes.

He is but my pawn.

I shall make Inuyasha and the others fully aware of that.

Do you feel better, Kohaku?

Yes, I feel much better.

I might not be able to purify this as well as Kikyo could.

Back then...

Huh?

When Naraku tried to take my shard.

When his tentacles made contact,

a pure light flowed into my shard.

From Naraku's tentacles?

It was as though Lady Kikyo was purifying me.

Does that mean Kikyo's power entered Naraku and still remains?

Light will kill Naraku.

The image Kanna showed me before she died...

A speck of light within the defiled Shikon Jewel.

That light is Kikyo's...

- And? - Huh?

Kohaku, do you believe that you can use your shard to defeat Naraku?

Sister...

Naraku was trying to take Kohaku's head.

He said he would slowly defile the shard in his neck.

Rin!

But it was so dangerous.

But Sister, it's clear that my shard causes Naraku pain!

Lady Kikyo's power is still in effect!

That's why-!

Oh, man! Stop your babbling!

Inuyasha.

Sheesh... Why do we have to keep tiptoeing around him?

Sango, tell it to him straight!

It's a pain in the butt when he wanders off by himself!

Inuyasha...

Sit, boy.

Why?

It wasn't his fault this time.

Sesshomaru was gone,

and there were little ones around when he was attacked.

Little ones?! Am I one of them?!

Many things about you are little.

Like your height, your heart, and your personality.

No, it's just as Inuyasha says.

Today wasn't the first time this happened.

Kohaku, you are weak in heart and strength.

That is why Naraku takes advantage of you.

You cannot break free of him if you fight alone.

You know that, right?

Yes.

Though it hurts me to admit it...

Kohaku, I'm sure that Kikyo left her power in your shard,

just as you said.

So you must treasure what Kikyo left to you.

Yes.

Lady Kikyo...

They still end up babying him.

Must be nice to have all those girls fawning over him.

The damage from the miasma has spread a bit again.

Please...

Just hold on until it's over.

Please, Lord Sesshomaru!

Don't listen to what Naraku says!

Sesshomaru joins in Naraku's scheme

as he takes Tetsusaiga's demonic energy

and sends Inuyasha to the Path to the Underworld!

Inuyasha, show me proof

that you are the heir to Tetsusaiga.

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "True Heir"

C'mon, Tetsusaiga! I believe in you!

TRUE HEIR
