Original subtitles

Huh?

This is...

It's there!

Mine too!

So is mine! Kagome, what about you?

Huh?

That's right. I made it through my exams.

- We all passed! - Yup.

What about you, Kagome?

Oh, yeah...

Huh?!

Huh?

Wha-?

It's...

not there!

No way!

I failed!

No!

H-Huh?

What's wrong, Kagome?

Are you still in pain?

Huh? I...

You lost consciousness after Magatsuhi glared at you.

Do you remember what happened?

That's right...

I suddenly felt weak.

Sango, how's Kohaku?

Well, he hasn't woken up since then...

The defilement from Magatsuhi is still there.

I'll purify it at once.

But why was Magatsuhi able to defile Kohaku's shard?

Magatsuhi originated from the Shikon Jewel,

which contains a speck of light that was left by Lady Kikyo.

When Naraku made contact with Kohaku's shard,

that light was supposed to produce an intense purifying illumination

which would cause him pain.

That's right.

If he came from the Shikon Jewel and used Naraku's body,

Kikyo's spell should have the same effect.

I would presume that the light left by my sister,

the purification spell, is only effective against Naraku.

What do you mean?

The purification spell was cast

through my sister's strong willpower in her final moments:

"Our enemy is Naraku..."

My sister's will would have been focused on Naraku.

So that is why Magatsuhi wasn't...

This could prove to be difficult.

He escaped before we were able to finish him off.

He'll fall victim to Tetsusaiga the next time he shows up!

Kagome, how does it look?

What's going on?

It's no use.

I can't purify it...

Kagome?

Why?

I could do this before.

What's going to happen to Kohaku?

Is it because...

Magatsuhi gave me that look?

He did something to Kagome's power.

THE DAY OF DAYS

Honestly!

How dare he bring Lord Sesshomaru to a human village!

Okay.

All done.

A scabbard for Bakusaiga.

Wait, Lord Sesshomaru!

Kohaku hasn't woken up yet!

So wait a little longer-

Kohaku stays behind.

Rin, you stay as well.

Huh?

Why, Lord Sesshomaru?!

Kohaku's one thing, but he's also leaving Rin behind?

But...

No! I'm coming with you!

No! Stop being so selfish!

Lord Sesshomaru lives to fight!

It made no sense to drag two kids around with him!

Jaken, you stay behind too.

Huh?!

Why, Lord Sesshomaru?!

No! I'm coming with you!

Sesshomaru, you're...

You're going after Magatsuhi?

He is my prey.

You're weak.

I've learned his scent.

I shall end his life myself.

Wait, Sesshomaru!

Why not let him go?

Only Sesshomaru's Tenseiga is capable of cutting down Magatsuhi,

who isn't of this world.

I'm glad.

We just have to wait for him to come back like always, Master Jaken.

I'll be waiting.

Come back soon, Lord Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha, Magatsuhi must have been the one

who sealed Lady Kagome's powers.

Yeah.

We'll have to destroy Magatsuhi to undo the seal.

Though I'm not very happy about leaving the job to Sesshomaru.

Little demon, you're also staying here?

You can address me as Master Jaken!

Master Jaken! You have a big attitude!

Especially considering how small your body is.

Are you in any position to talk?!

Sorry, Inuyasha.

There's no reason for you to apologize.

I'm so frustrated...

about how powerless I am.

Don't worry about it, Kagome.

Besides, if Magatsuhi and Naraku went to

the trouble of sealing your power,

they must have been really scared of what you can do.

Am I really so...?

Say, Naraku...

He isn't coming back.

The body I lent him has been destroyed.

So Magatsuhi's also gone?

He cannot die.

Plus, I have a general idea of what Magatsuhi will do next.

I'm sorry about leaving at such a critical time, everyone.

We don't have a choice.

It isn't your fault.

We shall watch over Kohaku.

Why is Inuyasha not here when Kagome's going home?

It's okay.

I spoke with Inuyasha yesterday.

Well, I'll come back as soon as my high school entrance exams are done.

Kagome went back to her homeland.

Yeah.

I heard that she has to fight some kind of weak demon called "Entrance Exam."

Is it safe for Kagome to go alone?

It should be fine.

It's a lot safer over there.

If the fight with Naraku continues,

and Kagome loses her life the way Kikyo did, I'll be...

In that case,

I'd rather she goes on living safely on the other side of the well.

Kagome's family is on the other side,

and she isn't alone.

Huh?!

"We won a hot springs trip in a local draw, so we're not here!"

Nobody's here?

I see.

Well, I can't do anything about that.

They don't know when I'm going to come back.

That's right! School!

I have to go to school!

I have to make up for all the classwork I've missed!

I don't have time to relax!

Huh?

Sunday?

Hello?

Yes, this is Higurashi.

Is Yuka...

She went out with Eri and Ayumi.

Are they studying at the library by any chance?

Could you call her cell?

I don't even have a cell phone.

I can't get a signal in the feudal era anyway.

I'll go to sleep!

It's been so long since I've slept in a bed.

It's still daytime!

Time to eat!

Delicious! I'm a genius!

Yeah, delicious...

I want Mom's cooking.

Okay! Time to study!

After all, that's why I came back!

I wonder what Inuyasha and everybody else are doing right now.

I mean, what is Inuyasha doing?!

Normally, he bugs me constantly!

It's so lonely.

After I finally came home...

Heavy...

A blanket?

You awake?

Inuyasha!

W-What is it?!

What'd I do?!

That's not it.

I'm so glad you're here.

O-Oh...

Kaede said that you should hold on to this.

The bow from Mount Azusa...

Even if your spiritual power's been sealed,

it can help you clear your mind.

She said it would help in your battle against Entrance Exam.

Yeah...

but it probably won't be of much use.

Well, there you have it.

- See ya. - Sit, boy!

W-Why?

Nobody's here?

Yeah.

Stupid.

Then you should've come back immediately.

Yeah, but...

I have school tomorrow,

and Mom and everyone might be back soon.

Say, Kagome...

Hmm?

Do you like this world?

Of course.

This is where I was born and raised.

It's where my family and friends are.

I figured.

What brought this on?

Say...

How do you feel about staying on this side

until the battle with Naraku is over?

No fever.

Hey!

I'm not delirious!

Oh.

You don't need me there.

And then you'll go to a hot spring with Master Miroku and Sango.

No, I'm not going to any hot springs.

Huh?

Kagome, this is a fake, right?

Yep, one of the lucky charms sold at our shrine.

Magatsuhi may have been able to seal your spiritual power

because that was Kikyo's wish when she was still alive.

Huh?

HIGURASHI SHRINE CHARM Originally, the Shikon Jewel was neither good nor evil

It would match its owner, but good and evil were constantly battling within.

When Kikyo died after we wounded each other,

she had no intention of being reincarnated.

But her feelings for you were channeled by the Shikon Jewel

and reborn in me.

I ended up bringing the Shikon Jewel back to the feudal era.

If the Shikon Jewel's seal was Kikyo's wish,

that would mean the Shikon Jewel granted

Kikyo's desire to never fight again.

Grandpa once said,

"When the final person who obtains

the Shikon Jewel makes the one correct wish,

the jewel will be purified and disappear from this world."

If that was Kikyo's wish,

then it wasn't the "one correct wish."

Besides, I promised Kikyo.

Kagome, the rest is up to you.

That's why I have to do this.

Inuyasha, will I be stronger once the seal is removed?

So you're choosing to fight?

After all, I have to become stronger if I want to stay with everybody.

Thanks.

You were thinking of me.

W-Well, I guess so.

Just let me stay with you.

Kagome...

In that case,

I'll protect you with my life.

Inuyasha...

Wait, this position...

Oh, we're all alone right now.

We're home!

Sis! You're back!

What are you doing?

Um, well, err...

Sorry, Kagome.

Were you lonely?

I wish you could have joined us.

Well...

You could have enjoyed your trip a little longer.

At this point, I still didn't realize

that I would one day have to choose between the two worlds.

Exam ticket!

Writing materials.

Test guides!

Okay!

They're finally here!

Entrance exams for high school are today!

Well, I'm off!

You didn't forget anything, did you?

We're praying for your success!

Do your best, Sis!

Right!

During the past ten days, Inuyasha never came to bother me.

So I was able to focus on studying!

That should be enough!

I'm sure I can pass!

Oh, there she is.

Kagome!

Over here!

What? Kagome isn't here?

Inuyasha, why are you here?

That's obvious.

She promised she'd only stay here for ten days.

I'm here to bring her back.

What are you saying?!

Her entrance exams are today!

You could never understand...

but Kagome's entire life is riding on this!

Understood?!

You absolutely must not bother Kagome today!

- And he's gone! - He left a long time ago.

He didn't listen to a single word you said.

The express train for Tokyo will be leaving from Platform 4 shortly.

Please stay behind the yellow line...

- It's so crowded. - Please stay behind the yellow line...

for your safety.

If we get on this express train, we'll be at the test site with time to spare.

Let's go!

Hey, Kagome!

Where do you think you're going?!

Inuyasha?! Why?!

We're heading back! You promised to come back today!

Sit, boy!

Hey, wasn't that...

...your boyfriend?

You're seeing things.

Cosplay? Why is he barefoot?

Eh?! What are you looking at?!

- A cosplayer. - That scared me.

A really bad-tempered cosplayer.

Geez! This isn't funny!

Why did you come for me today?!

Demons.

Make-up exams.

Demons.

Extra classes.

Demons.

Looking back, I've endured so much to make it to this day.

I won't let Inuyasha interfere today, no matter what!

Damn. Stupid Kagome.

She suddenly had a change of heart...

Just let me stay with you.

In that case,

I'll protect you with my life.

I'm not going back on my word after saying that!

You're mistaken if you think you can escape me!

Shinjuku! Shinjuku! Shinjuku!

We're getting off!

- Let us off! - Please, no pushing.

- Um! We're getting off! - Please, no pushing.

- No! My bag! - The next train is coming in.

The doors will be closing now.

Please stay back from the door for your own safety!

- K-Kagome... - That's dangerous, miss!

Okay, the next train is coming in-

That's dangerous!

My exam ticket!

Kagome, find an attendant.

- Have an attendant report it! - Please stay back for your own safety.

Huh?

- C-Calm down, Kagome! - Kagome's boyfriend?

That's the train! Hurry, Inuyasha!

Yeah!

So we weren't seeing things. It was her boyfriend.

Yeah.

He's practically flying...

Please!

There's something more important than my life inside!

It was stolen?! This world is pretty dangerous!

Bastard! You finally stopped!

Get ready!

No cutting!

Sit, boy!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Does anybody know where my bag is?!

A very important exam ticket is inside!

Damn you, Kagome.

It has to be in this car...

Where is it?

Oh!

Stupid! Why did you pull me off...?

Inuyasha...

It had your scent.

Is this what you lost?

W-Why?!

Thanks!

I'm so glad you were here!

Y-Yeah...

You finally figured that out.

Exam applicants should hurry!

We're heading back once you're done.

Yep! Thanks for bringing me here.

Oh, that's right.

Exam ticket...

Huh? What?

It's not here! Why?!

My exam ticket is gone! It's all over!

It's done...

It was a short life.

Oh, there you are! Kagome!

Mom?

Here, your exam ticket.

You left it on your desk.

What...

What a relief!

I don't really get it, but go knock 'em out!

Yep!

That morning was a hectic mess,

like a roller coaster between heaven and hell.

You've been dressed like that the entire time?

Yeah!

Let's hide those.

Now?

And so, I safely made it through my exams.

At the end of this long road, I will always think of you

I still remember the first time we have met,

as if it is yesterday

If you are there at the end of this long road,

I will be looking into your eyes

My love for you is what I protect, and what I never forget

Oh, even if time stops from loneliness

Oh, every road leads to you

I'm going to cast my sadness away

Here, I can't see the tear-colored image of you

But I just want you to see me living in the moment

If we look back,

the distance between the two of us may grow

Our destinies are intertwined, and I won't let it be apart

At the end of this long road, I will always think of you

You and I together, we can build a world without lies

Sesshomaru was tied up by Byakuya,

while Miroku collapsed after sucking in the poison of an evil spirit!

Magatsuhi takes control of Kohaku's body

and attempts to transport the defiled shard to Naraku!

The blackened Shikon Jewel shows Kohaku his dreadful past sins!

You still have to wake up, Kohaku!

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "Kohaku's Shard"

Sister, it isn't too late?!

KOHAKU'S SHARD
