Mystical Hand of the Amorous Monk, Miroku
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippo encounter Miroku, a monk who like them is searching for shards of the Shikon Jewel. He steals the shards that Kagome wears around her neck. Inuyasha tracks him down but the wind tunnel, which is kind of like a black hole, in Miroku's right hand makes him very tough to beat.
Kagome joins the fight. She collides with Miroku knocking him out. Miroku tells them about his hand and his quest after he wakes up. A curse was placed on his grandfather by a demon named Naraku. The curse was passed down to Miroku. who is still searching for Naraku.
Miroku's story reveals that Naraku is probably the one who killed Kikyo while disguised as Inuyasha. Kagome suggests that Miroku join them in their quest for the shards of the Shikon Jewel.
Miroku is one of the characters who features in the opening credits. I assume that he will be a regular in this series going forward.
I like this episode. Its fairly simple but that's okay. Once again the world of Inuyasha seems to be growing. I would rather watch this kind of episode rather than one where they fight a monster of the week.
