Naraku!

Rin!

Miroku! Don't open your Wind Tunnel!

- Master Miroku! - This isn't good!

This is the end, Naraku!

Wind T-

Miroku!

I won't let you open it!

- Kagome, the prayer beads! - Okay!

I see it! That's his main body!

Hit him!

Forgive me, Rin!

You tried to kill Rin,

along with the illusion of Naraku I showed you.

Demon slayer Sango, you have just slain yourself.

I won't try to justify it or beg for my life,

but I want you to wait until Naraku's been defeated

and the Wind Tunnel's curse on the good monk has been lifted!

Miasma!

This is unlike anything you've seen before.

This miasma can kill,

especially weak humans like Kagome and the monk.

He's not playing around, huh?

You're starting to get desperate, Naraku!

Naraku is afraid of my arrow!

He doesn't want to let me shoot!

This won't be enough to take us out!

You'd better get ready, Naraku!

NARAKU'S UNCERTAIN WISH

Lord Inuyasha!

You'd better come back, Inuyasha.

You have inherited Meido Zangetsuha from Sesshomaru.

Once you have fully mastered that technique, you can't lose.

The miasma is growing stronger!

Lord Sesshomaru!

Catch up to Lady Sango!

Wha-?

So he doesn't want us to catch up to her?

Wait for me, good monk!

That won't be enough to defeat me!

I have this antidote from Jinenji!

If I take this, I don't have to fear the miasma.

Three left...

I'm still good!

I'll make it as far as I can!

Damn, I can't get any footing.

Hold on, Lady Kagome!

Thanks.

I can hear Master Miroku's Wind Tunnel even when it's closed.

We have to hurry!

The more you suffer,

the more the darkness within the Shikon Jewel will spread.

Struggle more.

Hurt more.

And lament your powerlessness.

Naraku!

Sango?

I've been waiting.

Sango!

Sango...

Good monk, I made it in time.

Sango! Where's your protective mask?!

The miasma here is no joke!

I'll shatter any miasma or demonic energy!

Hiraikotsu!

What's that?!

Tornadoes of miasma!

Have you forgotten, Naraku?

Hiraikotsu can shatter your demonic energy!

She did it!

No!

It's too late.

Sango has been thoroughly exposed to my miasma.

You should never have given the mask,

your only means of protection, to Rin.

It was a foolish decision, even if you meant to repent for your sin.

Sango!

Sango! Master Miroku!

Inuyasha! We have to go after them!

Yeah!

How about allowing them to spend their last moments alone together.

Sango!

Get a hold of yourself, Sango!

Sango. Why did you...?

I can hear the good monk's Wind Tunnel...

So I failed.

I apologize for leaving you alone.

Good monk...

please...

take me with you.

Sango.

What's going on?

The Shikon Jewel is being controlled by darkness again.

The sorrow of the monk and Sango gives power to the darkness.

Damn you, Naraku!

How ironic...

The stronger their love, the greater their despair.

The monk and Sango will soon die.

They have chosen to wait for

the Wind Tunnel to swallow them both.

Do you understand, Inuyasha?

The two of them will be consumed by

the darkness within the Shikon Jewel.

I won't let that happen!

Naraku...

I'll defeat you and end the curse of the Wind Tunnel!

Meido Zangetsuha!

The Shikon Jewel is uniting with Naraku!

He's not being sucked into the Meido!

Is that the power of the Shikon Jewel?

The Shikon Jewel...

was supposed to have burned with Kikyo's corpse

and been erased from this world.

However, the Shikon Jewel used

Kikyo's lingering feelings for Inuyasha

and her reincarnated body to return to this world.

It continued to bring disaster after shattering,

before being reassembled, transcending time itself.

The Shikon Jewel will never go away,

even if I am destroyed.

Huh?

Naraku, you...

What were you really trying to accomplish?

Kagome?

You always did the same thing when you were fighting us.

You tore Inuyasha and Kikyo apart...

Forced the siblings, Sango and Kohaku, to fight one another...

and used Master Miroku and Sango's feelings against them.

You always sneered at our bonds of friendship and love

as you tried to split us apart.

Why?

Was that what you wanted?

Why ask this now?

You couldn't have done those things

without understanding a person's heart!

You understand the pain of loss because

you know how important these bonds are!

Kagome, what are you doing?

The Shikon Jewel didn't grant your real wish, did it?

This woman...

You're hesitating, aren't you?

Because once you absorb the Shikon Jewel,

you will turn into a true monster, body and heart!

My hesitation...

You have a complete Shikon Jewel,

but you haven't tried to absorb it yet!

What's your point?

You think you can purify my heart with your petty words?!

Kagome! Move!

Meido Zangetsuha!

Naraku!

Our origins are different, but we're both half-demons!

We're half-demons with both a human and a demon heart!

That's why I can't forgive you!

We can choose from both our human and our demon hearts!

But you chose to live as a demon, despite having a human heart!

You hurt people and curse them, ignoring your human heart...

I refuse to allow such a bastard to continue hurting my friends!

Meido in the form of blades!

Impossible! My tentacles!

So Meido Zangetsuha's transformed.

Which means the technique truly belongs to Lord Inuyasha now?

Yes.

Meido Zangetsuha was developed

from Sesshomaru's Tenseiga, the sword which cannot cut.

Thus, the method of opening Meido, the giant Path to the Underworld

and sending foes to their death was tailored to Sesshomaru.

Lord Inuyasha used it, which means...

Inuyasha, sword, and technique must all join together.

And Tetsusaiga is a sword which cuts.

Meido will take the form of a blade to match Inuyasha.

The Shikon Jewel?!

If I can pierce that...

If I can pierce the Shikon Jewel, Naraku will be destroyed!

Kagome!

It's futile.

You can destroy me again and again, but we are inside my body.

I will regenerate every time.

Shut up!

I'll just slice you up every time!

Naraku, I'm going to sever the web-like tentacles

and your obsessions which bind you to this world,

along with any ties to the Shikon Jewel!

Meido Zangetsuha!

C-Curse you, Inuyasha!

No.

If Sango is exposed to any more miasma, her life will be...

Please...take me with you.

I can't do that!

You must...

You must survive, Sango!

W-What?

Hot! Hot! Miasma?

I-I shouldn't have come.

And I'm all alone!

The Shikon Jewel didn't grant my wish?

I am the same as Inuyasha?

Don't be ridiculous!

Lord Sesshomaru, there's so much miasma.

It appears you've reached the point of desperation, Naraku.

Then I, Sesshomaru, shall perform your last rites!

Bakusaiga!

A-Amazing!

He made a path!

So he finally used it.

Sesshomaru's Bakusaiga continues to break down whatever it cuts,

and any body which absorbs the remains will also fall apart.

I guess the time's come for me to fulfill my role.

W-What is it this time?

L-Lord Sesshomaru!

Master Jaken, you were here?

What have you been doing?

Many things...

You okay, Kagome?

I'm fine.

Sesshomaru's getting closer!

Then this sound is...

The sound of Bakusaiga wreaking havoc!

Naraku, you can no longer regenerate your body!

As I said, Inuyasha,

you may destroy me, but the Shikon Jewel will remain.

A dead end.

Should I use the Wind Tunnel?

Even if it tears open and I'm sucked into the Wind Tunnel,

I must save Sango's life.

It's getting quieter?

N-Naraku's falling apart!

It's getting closer!

I have to move or I'll get caught in that mess!

K-Kirara!

Incredible...

He only swung once.

But of course!

Lord Sesshomaru's Bakusaiga is in a class of its own!

Naraku, you continue to struggle?

Bakusaiga!

Give up, Naraku!

It's over for you!

So it seems.

However, Inuyasha, realize that there is something that

cannot be cut by your Tetsusaiga or Sesshomaru's Bakusaiga.

Huh? You refuse to admit that you're beaten?

You're talking about your soul, right?!

That's why I'm here!

To purify your soul!

Try it, Kagome.

This will end with a battle of souls!

Byakuya of the Dreams!

Huh?

Bastard!

As a mere incarnation of Naraku, I die when he does.

I have no regrets.

I fulfilled my role.

Kagome!

You okay?

Y-Yeah.

Did he just cut me?

The blade he used was Meido Zangetsuha.

What was he trying to do?

Shippo, you're a lifesaver.

R-Really?

Are you sure about giving up the rest of the antidote?

O-Of course!

Don't worry about me!

Hurry and take it!

I appreciate it.

Sango, are you awake?

Good...monk.

You shouldn't move right now.

I just gave you an antidote for the miasma.

I brought the antidote Jinenji gave me!

But the antidote won't be enough for you, good monk.

I can still fight.

The Wind Tunnel has quieted.

That means...

Inuyasha and the others have most likely fatally wounded Naraku,

and the curse of the Wind Tunnel has weakened.

Let us hurry, good monk.

We must join them!

Yes. We'll settle this with Naraku once and for all.

Naraku is still alive.

Inuyasha, why are you taking so long?

Kagome, get on my back!

There's nowhere left to stand!

Let's end this!

Right!

Meido Zangetsuha!

Kagome! Shoot!

The bastard's still trying to resist!

Inuyasha! Behind you!

Sango! Master Miroku!

Kagome!

Shippo?!

Why are you here?!

Show some appreciation! I hurried over here!

Wind Tunnel!

Miroku!

I'm fine!

The curse is fading!

Sesshomaru!

Sister!

Lady Sango!

Kohaku! Rin!

I'm so glad that my sister is safe.

The destruction caused by Bakusaiga is spreading!

Lord Sesshomaru will be the one to defeat Naraku!

You've assembled.

Your worthless so-called friends.

Yeah.

And we aren't missing a single person!

The well has been sealed.

Kagome, there is nowhere for you to go.

That was the wish the Shikon Jewel forced Naraku to make!

I was drawn into the Meido, the Path to the Underworld!

But... Huh?

I'm in high school now?

Mom! Grandpa! This is bad!

The Bone Eater's Well has disappeared!

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "Thoughts Fall Short"

Please, Tetsusaiga, take me to Kagome!

THOUGHTS FALL SHORT
