Original subtitles

We'll get your heart back from Naraku while we're at it.

You'd better not die before that happens!

I'll run for my life.

I'll go as far as I have to!

KAGURA'S WIND

This is the grave of Father and the others.

They're all resting in peace.

So it's all right. Kohaku.

But I can't...

...forgive myself.

Was it too early to bring him here?

Master Myoga...

Is the anomaly within?

Aye.

This is Midoriko's cave.

Midoriko was a priestess who fought demons

hundreds of years ago.

This led to their mutual demise.

when she absorbed the demons' souls

and forced her own soul from her body.

The crystallization of her soul is the Shikon Jewel.

Please have a look at the hole in Midoriko's chest.

It's shining.

There's something inside of it.

It looks like a chrysalis.

Let me make sure.

A barrier's been erected.

Ah. Lord Inuyasha. this must be an ill omen!

Yeah, we should probably keep an eye on this place.

This scent... It couldn't be...

Are you really going. Koga?

The strongest weapon known to the Wolf-Demon tribe...

The Goraishi, is enshrined

in the deepest part of this graveyard.

Perfect. Once I have that Gora-thing.

I can beat the crap out of Naraku and Moryomaru.

Koga never listens to what we say.

Be careful not to incite the wrath of the gods.

Yeah, let's go.

You're coming with me.

So Inuyasha stayed behind?

Yeah.

Is it just me, or did Inuyasha seem eager to guard the place by himself?

Huh?

It isn't just you!

I attempted to stay behind with Lord Inuyasha.

but he drove me away!

Come to think of it,

the barrier wasn't something evil.

In fact, it felt pure somehow.

Does that mean...?

A Soul Collector!

So it was Kikyo.

Naraku's miasma is persistent indeed.

Kagome's powers of purification weren't enough.

Kikyo!

Inuyasha, you followed the Soul Collector here, did you?

Kikyo, what do you intend to do with Midoriko's soul?

This was from Naraku at Mount Hakurei.

Weren't you healed?!.

For a short time.

But the wound reopened.

That is why I took Midoriko's soul.

Using it is the only option I have.

Otherwise, this body will be swallowed by miasma

and returned to dirt and bones before I can defeat Naraku.

But Midoriko's soul,

even if it's a dead soul,

should aid me in my task.

Midoriko was a priestess who died slaying demons.

One might say that Midoriko and I share the same soul.

I'm sure she'll understand how I feel.

Kikyo.

Kikyo!

Her wound is closing.

W-What?

Kohaku's Shikon Jewel shard?

Kohaku!

I'm completely smashed...

Kohaku. wait!

Those are Kikyo's Soul Collectors!

They appear to be guiding Kohaku.

A barrier?

Is this Lady Kikyo's doing?

No.

This barrier is...

Come back, Kohaku!

Don't worry, Sister!

The shard is telling me to go!

It's telling me to defeat Naraku!

I'm willing to do anything to accomplish that!

What is it, Koga?

It's nothing.

W- What's with my legs?

The Shikon Jewel shards suddenly grew heavy.

Are you okay, Kikyo?

That wound isn't going to reopen again?

I do not know.

That is why I must make haste.

Can't you wait until I defeat Naraku?

You cannot defeat Naraku with a sword.

Listen to me, Inuyasha.

Defeating Naraku requires the obliteration of his very soul.

It doesn't matter if you destroy his body again and again.

Naraku was originally created when demons merged

into the vile soul of the thief Onigumo.

He has no true body.

And I fear that the Shikon Jewel

is the only power great enough to erase his soul.

We need to restore the Shikon Jewel at once.

There will only be one chance.

When Naraku obtains the restored Shikon Jewel.

the jewel will be defiled by Naraku's hand and fuse with him.

In that instant, we must purify the jewel and Naraku with it.

I am the only one capable of this act.

Wait, Kikyo!

Inuyasha!

I do not have time to hesitate.

I can no longer turn back.

Completing the Shikon Jewel requires taking Kohaku's shard.

That would mean taking Kohaku's life.

Kikyo, you're not the kind of woman who's capable of that.

I'm going.

Now I know what I must do.

Why didn't I notice Kohaku's scent when he was so close?

Please give my regards to everyone!

Don't go, Kohaku!

I'm not going there to die.

I'm going to defeat Naraku.

Take care of my sister!

Kohaku...

Who calls me?

Meioju.

Your shell is said to be the ultimate armor.

I'll be taking it.

Devour him, Moryomaru.

You are now my ultimate armor.

It somehow feels like we're grave robbers.

Oh, Koga! Over there!

There's something that looks like claws!

So that's the Goraishi of the Wolf-Demon tribe.

You shall not pass!

I-It talked!

I'm glad we can get this over with.

Umm, we aren't thieves or anything.

We've only come to borrow the Goraishi.

Never! The Goraishi is a treasure of the Wolf-Demon tribe.

A demonic weapon which contains the souls of our brethren.

If you desire it...

I have to defeat you, right?!.

Prepare to be incinerated!

Again?!.

Did he beat it?

That's Koga for you.

Cursed brat! You're using Shikon Jewel shards?

What about it?!.

They're part of my body! Got a problem?!.

Part of your body?! That would be incorrect.

The shards you possess obey the will of one who is no longer of this world.

The Goraishi you desire obeys the souls

which have rested here since ancient times.

Souls that are also no longer of this world.

They are not for you, who lives in the present, to wield!

Enough of your nonsense!

Take this!

How's that?!.

It's futile.

I don't think so!

Okay, just one more big push!

You shall not pass!

Outta my way!

It's back!

Damn!

You're mine!

Damn it all!

That was close.

S-Sorry about that.

Fools!

Behold!

Koga, the Goraishi!

They're gone!

You should have abandoned your comrades

and obtained the Goraishi!

If you think I regret that choice, you're wrong!

What?!.

Listen up!

I came for the Goraishi because I wanted to avenge my fallen brethren!

I don't need the Goraishi if I have to sacrifice my comrades for it!

Got it, you fool?!.

Koga!

I'll follow you for the rest of my life!

Enough of your preaching!

You shall pay for desecrating this grave!

Repent!

I won't repent!

Th-The Goraishi?!.

W-When did that happen?!.

Take this!

This is...

The Goraishi is now your claw.

Henceforth. you shall have the protection of our souls.

It disappeared.

No, that's not it.

It entered my body.

What's that protection of their souls stuff?

Does that mean that our ancestors are watching over him?

However, we can only protect you once

that which controls the Shikon Jewel shards in your legs...

That which is not meant to be in this world.

Yeah, I'll remember that.

Naraku.

Kagura.

It appears that Hakudoshi has died.

Hah, you're probably the one who set it up.

What a fool Hakudoshi was.

Seems he intended to overthrow me.

Kagura.

I shall free you.

You'll free me, you say?

You wish to be liberated from me, right?

That is why you disobeyed my orders.

allowed Goryomaru to escape, and joined Hakudoshi's side.

If you were aware of everything I was doing...

My heart?!.

That's right...

If I return this to your body,

you will no longer be under anyone's control.

Not even mine.

You will be free.

I-It's back!

Don't worry.

I avoided your precious heart.

Naraku.

B-Bastard!

Now go... wherever you wish.

D-Damn it.

He injected a lot of miasma into me!

Enjoy what little time you have left to live.

Of course, you will only feel pain and despair.

Kagura, this is the freedom you sought.

Lord Sesshomaru, the demonic aura from the crystal is weakening.

Naraku's heart is nearby!

Oh! There's a cave up there!

Stand back.

Inuyasha's brother, is it?

I have never considered that half-demon to be my brother.

But if you possess that knowledge. you must be Naraku's heart.

Sesshomaru...

You shall regret wielding that sword before a proper greeting.

And I shall make you regret uttering Inuyasha's name in my presence.

I-I can recover from this wound in a day.

My heart is beating.

I can go wherever I want.

I'm free...

Tokijin can't even scratch that armor!

Keep swinging that sword of yours.

I shall absorb your demonic energy!

Now it's your turn to be on the receiving end.

It seems Lord Sesshomaru's attacks are making him stronger!

Hey, shouldn't we stop him?!

Idiot! Lord Sesshomaru has a brilliant plan!

What kind of plan?

Moron! If I knew, I wouldn't suffer so much!

It won't work, Sesshomaru.

I shall take your demonic energy!

Are you ready, Sesshomaru?!.

D-Damn it.

My body won't do what I want it to.

The wound's reopened.

I don't have enough power left to heal it.

This scent...

Did that stupid woman die?

After betraying Naraku and betraying me for a trivial thing called freedom,

she ended up dying a pathetic death.

And dying in vain at that.

Silence.

I-Impossible!

My shell!

I would expect no less from Lord Sesshomaru!

A little more! Just a little more!

The demonic energy I absorbed!

My demonic energy cannot be contained in your pitiful vessel!

Take this!

Azure Dragon Wave!

No! The Shikon Jewel shard is...

T-Tokijin!

It snapped!

Why, you...!

Next time will be different!

Lord Sesshomaru!

I'm so glad you're safe!

Ah, Lord Sesshomaru!

You're going to leave your sword behind?

I feel no attachment to a broken sword.

I need only find a replacement.

Where is Lord Sesshomaru going?

A petal?

I'm sure of it!

It's the scent of Kagura's blood!

Naraku may have learned of her betrayal!

Let us hurry!

We should have forced her to stay with us.

We shouldn't have let Kagura be alone!

It's quiet.

Nobody's around.

Does it end here?

All by myself...

This is the freedom I sought.

Sesshomaru...

I followed the scent of blood and miasma.

I see.

You were expecting Naraku.

Are you disappointed that I'm not Naraku?

I knew it was you.

I see.

So you came, knowing it was me.

Even Tenseiga cannot save her.

Are you leaving?

Yeah. it's enough.

I saw you... one last time...

Wait. Sesshomaru!

Inuyasha...

Did Kagura suffer?

She was smiling.

I am the wind.

The free wind.

Shippo attempts the Demon Promotion Exam at the Demon Mansion, The Fox Inn!

I'll advance in rank if I can beat Inuyasha!

It pains me to do this, but I'm going to be an exam fiend!

Meanwhile, Tenseiga is creating a mess for Sesshomaru.

What's going to happen, ol' Totosai?

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "Meido Zangetsuha"

I now hold a Tenseiga for battle.
