Naraku and Sesshomaru Joins Forces
Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru crosses paths with Naraku, the demon who cursed Miroku. Sesshomaru is still missing an arm. Naraku gives him an arm that is powered by a shard of the Shikon Jewel. He also gives him a tool to help him deal with Miroku.
Sesshomaru and Jaken find Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku. Inuyasha oulls out Tetsusaiga, his sword, and attacks his brother. Sesshomaru overpowers Inuyasha and takes Tetsusaiga from him. Inuyasha uses Tetsusaiga's sheath to defend himself.
Miroku tries to help by using his cursed hand. Jaken uses the hive that Naraku gave them. The insects that come out of it aren't affected by the wind tunnel created by Miroku's cursed hand. They stop his hand from functioning.
Jaken takes on Miroku and Shippo. They fall back. It doesn't look good but then Kagome joins the fight. She hits Tetsusaiga with an arrow which causes the magical sword to revert to its normal form. She threatens that the next arrow will take out Sesshomaru himself.
I expected that this one would end on a cliffhanger. Kikyo is mentioned in this episode and even shows up in flashbacks but not in the present. Although there is a lot of fighting in this episode, as there was in the last one, the stakes feel higher here, possibly because the villain is Sesshomaru and not some monster of the week.
