Original subtitles

It all began with the meager dream

of a villain who couldn't even move.

Kikyo...

To take the beautiful priestess and escape from this dim cave...

That was the villain's only desire.

He fed his body to demons to fulfill that wish.

A multitude of demons were drawn to

the villain's body and united as one.

Thus, Naraku was born.

Fool!

I have absolutely no wish to become human.

The Shikon Jewel...

I sure appreciate this.

This jewel needs to absorb more bitterness and ill will.

Those villagers... I'll kill them all.

It's Inuyasha!

That'll teach you!

With this in my possession, I can become a real demon!

Inuyasha!

K-Kikyo...

Why, you...!

Listen to me, Kaede.

Take this...

Take the Shikon Jewel and burn it with my body...

It must never fall into the hands of evil-doers again!

Sister!

The Shikon Jewel...

I will take it with me to the otherworld.

Fifty years have passed since then.

It's been a long time, Kikyo.

The Shikon Jewel was supposed to

have disappeared with your remains,

yet it now rests in my hand.

The Shikon Jewel has been fully defiled by Naraku...

So much that Magatsuhi can no longer go back inside of it.

The fate of Inuyasha's group is tied to mine.

As their hatred and rage towards me grew,

I consumed their hatred and rage and transformed it,

until the defiled Shikon Jewel was finally complete.

By the end of this battle,

they will be entirely consumed by my darkness.

Kikyo's light has died.

INSIDE NARAKU

Huh?! Really?!

I got accepted?

No way!

You were wait-listed before getting accepted, though.

But now you'll be a high school student in the spring.

Isn't that wonderful, Kagome?

Mom...

You did a good job, Kagome.

Wait-listed or not, you got in!

And that's after missing all those classes.

Maybe I'm a genius!

MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION CEREMONY

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL GRADUATES

Good morning!

- Kagome! - You managed to make it?

It's our graduation!

I guess your chronic illness gave you a break today.

Kagome, we were worried since you

didn't show up when results were posted.

But I was relieved when everybody's exam numbers were up there.

That was kinda emotional, wasn't it?

- Yeah! - Yeah!

I'm so glad. You were all accepted.

What are you saying?

You were the one in the most danger!

Everybody start lining up.

Oh no, I'm getting kinda nervous.

Person, person!

Write "person" on your palm and swallow.

We now present the graduates.

There, swallow it!

O-Okay...

Let's go.

CONGRATULATIONS

I'm graduating from middle school today.

Mom. Grandpa.

I wasn't able to participate much in any clubs,

but I had a lot of fun at the cultural festivals.

And I was only in gym class a few times, but in the feudal era,

I was at least able to build a lot of stamina.

It was really painful to make up for

all the test material I missed, but...

I actually managed to graduate.

Kagome, picture time.

I'm taking it. Say cheese!

Eri, you need to be in the next one.

Higurashi!

Hojo?

We'll be attending different high schools.

Oh, really?

He's going to an all-boys school.

Does Hojo still like Kagome?

Probably.

He doesn't know about Kagome's punk boyfriend.

- Higurashi... - Hmm?

Can we still be friends?

Of course!

Let's stay friends forever.

- Poor guy... - Poor guy...

So, as something to remember me by...

- Huh? It won't come off. - Oh, it's already this late?

Uh...

I got it off!

I wanted you to have my second button!

Huh? Higurashi?

Kagome left already.

Huh?

- Poor guy... - Poor guy...

You're already leaving, Kagome?

Yeah.

Can you at least stay for dinner so we can celebrate?

Sorry.

I had to beg them to let me come back.

But we're making your favorite foods.

More importantly, Grandpa,

have a graduation present ready for me.

- Already done. - Really?!

A dried dragon's tail and Tengu whiskers for luck.

This one's for graduating.

This one's for entering high school.

Yeah, give me something I can actually appreciate later.

Kagome.

You've worked hard.

Congratulations on graduating.

Mom...

Yeah, thank you.

See you, Grandpa, Sota!

Be careful.

Go get'em!

Say hi to the big dog for me!

The demons are on the move.

Yes.

It's almost as though they're being drawn to something.

Kaede, there's a demonic presence.

Oh, demonic energy is spreading across the sky.

Lord Inuyasha, Naraku has used...

Yeah, he used the Shikon Jewel.

Naraku, the light from Kikyo that you feared

has become Kohaku's life.

Kikyo will no longer fight against you.

That's why I...

No, we will defeat you.

It's time to finish this, Naraku.

Inuyasha!

Thanks! I'm all finished!

Yeah! We've been waiting, Kagome!

Welcome back, Kagome.

That was quick.

All right then, Inuyasha!

Let's go!

What happened to me?

Are you awake, Shippo?

Kaede.

That's right. When we were heading out...

Why, Inuyasha?!

Why are you leaving me behind?!

The upcoming battle is no place for a kid.

This is different than the battles we've been through before, Shippo.

Naraku has used the Shikon Jewel to completely transform himself.

I'll be busy protecting Kagome since

her spiritual power hasn't returned.

I won't be able to look after you.

I'm sorry, Shippo.

Kohaku, you should also stay by Lady Kaede's side.

Sister...

Your life is a gift from Kikyo...

You must not waste it.

Yes.

Why?

Haven't we been together this entire time?

I'm a member of the group, right?

That's right.

Inuyasha...

You're one of us, Shippo.

That's why...

If we don't come back, you'll have to take over!

- Inuyasha... - Inuyasha...

Huh? Me? All by myself?

It can wait until you grow up and become a greater demon.

You understand, Shippo?

- But... - You understand, don't you?!

Damn you, Inuyasha!

You ran off while I was unconscious!

- Stupid Inuyasha! - It's too late to go after them now.

Oh!

Lady Kaede, the demonic presence...

Inuyasha...

I feel a little bad for Shippo.

But that was unexpected, hearing Inuyasha sound so sensitive.

Huh?

"If we don't come back," right?

I had to say that or Shippo wouldn't agree.

But you still ended up hitting him.

Oh, that's right.

I should have just knocked him out to begin with.

That wasn't my point.

But this certainly is dangerous.

My spiritual power is still sealed by Magatsuhi,

and we don't know when it might return.

Yeah, it won't happen until Sesshomaru

uses Tenseiga to finish off Magatsuhi.

Naraku...

You may have transformed, but you are still merely a spider.

Bakusaiga!

That new sword of yours is really something.

Byakuya of the Dreams, is it?

One swing leaves a crumbling corpse,

and if the corpse is absorbed by the main body,

that will also crumble.

Naraku won't have a chance, even after his transformation.

Feel free to swing away.

Are you worried about your little companion?

As you've probably guessed, she's inside Naraku.

So they've come.

That spider...

It's Naraku!

Hold on to me, Kagome!

What?!

It opened up its body?!

Sesshomaru!

He didn't hesitate to go save the little girl, huh?

Brings a tear to my eye.

Rin's inside?!

Let's go, Inuyasha!

Yeah!

- Sango! - Yes.

Let's go, good monk!

You're also heading inside?

You might end up getting eaten.

Whoa!

Going to use your Wind Tunnel to pull me in?

That would accomplish nothing.

Besides, my Wind Tunnel is at its limit.

It may hold for a couple more uses.

After that, my Wind Tunnel will tear open,

and I will be sucked in and destroyed.

In order to survive, I must destroy Naraku

and break the curse of the Wind Tunnel.

Good monk...

Let's defeat Naraku.

Yes, Sango.

Once this is all over, we can have a wedding.

Yes.

Those fools.

If it were me, I'd sacrifice the human girl

and destroy Naraku from the outside.

Naraku's body is bigger than it looks from outside.

Yeah.

That's...

Naraku!

So you've finally entered my body, Inuyasha.

Inuyasha!

Will you destroy me from the inside?

Very well.

Everything here is me.

Hiraikotsu!

Miasma!

Did you not notice?

You have been exposed to my miasma ever since you entered my body.

Yet, you haven't died...

For the Shikon Jewel desires your souls.

Souls?

Your hatred for me...

The rage and despair you feel...

Despair?

Don't screw with us!

I'm gonna defeat you and end this, once and for all!

You believe you can put an end to the fate of the Shikon Jewel,

which has transcended hundreds of years?

Is this also Naraku?

His entire body is armored.

Well, it looks just like the Shikon Jewel.

Now, let's fight, Inuyasha.

There's plenty of time.

You have all eternity inside my body.

Tetsusaiga!

- Inuyasha! - Hiraikotsu!

She got him!

Hiraikotsu's ability to shatter demonic energy is effective?

What?!

He multiplied!

Adamant Barrage!

It's endless!

In that case...

Meido Zangetsuha!

A sword which sends its foes to the depths of the Underworld...

Look, good monk!

You can see something through it!

That's...

Rin!

It appears that the little girl is awake.

That's just a trick!

Then feel free to swing away.

Send the illusion of the little girl into the Underworld.

Damn it...

Look out!

You won't swing, Inuyasha?

That little girl is Sesshomaru's companion.

She has no connection to you.

Yet you're still unable to swing at her?

However, you will soon change your mind,

in order to save yourselves.

The Shikon Jewel!

Find it and destroy it!

Then Naraku will...!

- The jewel? - What do you mean, Kagome?

Didn't Naraku absorb the jewel?!

I can sense a strong presence deep within Naraku's body!

So the jewel is probably still in its original form!

Naraku hasn't absorbed the jewel?

- Inuyasha! - Kagome!

The path is sealed!

Is he trying to split us up?

Damn it.

Kagome, where's the Shikon Jewel?

That way.

It'll be faster if we focus on finding the jewel

instead of trying to regroup with Miroku and Sango!

Inuyasha?

Did you not realize

what it would mean to approach the Shikon Jewel after I defiled it?

Inuyasha is but a weak half-demon.

Seems his spirit has been consumed by the jewel's toxin.

Get a grip on yourself, Inuyasha!

What's wrong, Kagome?

You just need to calm him down and purify him.

You can't do it?

Your spiritual power remains sealed by Magatsuhi.

It's useless to run.

The demon form of Inuyasha wants only to kill you.

I shall give you a present.

An arrow that's been covered in miasma.

If you use it on Inuyasha, your life will be spared.

Naraku, are you stupid?!

How could I ever shoot Inuyasha?

And Inuyasha would never...

Kill you?

You will soon understand.

It's the same as it was fifty years ago, Kagome.

You, too, will be slain by Inuyasha.

Inuyasha...

Foolish girl.

Was that how the good monk's father perished?

Calm yourself, Sango!

Master Miroku and Sango are tormented

by illusions inside Naraku's body!

Inuyasha is also haunted by his inability to save Kikyo!

You are but a half-demon.

Now Inuyasha is under my control.

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "Naraku: The Trap of Darkness"

Forget everything,

your human heart, and Kagome.
