Kagura directs Sesshomaru to Tokijin and watches as the demon claims his sword and wields it against his brother. That weapon looks pretty strong and it looks like Kagura has every intentions to betray Naraku^^

I'm sorry, but I don't like Kagura... She's annoying and only dreams of being free of Naraku. Understandable, but she's still annoying about it. >3>

I'll cut her a bit of slack since Naraku holds her heart in his hand, but all in all she still is a heartless (natch) demon.....
Please don't feed the trolls!

They keep talking about Tetsusaiga as if Inuyasha has always owned it.

He didn't even have it at the start of the series, why do they suddenly think that just letting go of Tetsusaiga will cause Inuyasha to lose control of his demon blood?

Guess they retconned it.

Well I suppose in the past the Sacred Jewel was in Kikyo's possession. The jewel was being purified by her and this probably weakened the demons in the surrounding areas.

Plus without jewel shards many of the demons were a lot weaker back then including Naraku.Don't forget 50 years passed before Kagome returned to the feudal era so many enemies had time to beef themselves up (i.e. Naraku).

Also, Inuyasha didn't go around the country fighting demons after demons looking for jewel shards so his life was never in danger like it is now.

In any case the episode was pretty interesting. It was obvious how Sesshomaru wasn't fazed by the Tokijin's demonic power. I don;t like the fact that Sesshomaru is using a sword forged from the fangs of Naraku's incarnation.

She showed some trace of humanity a few episodes ago when she told Gosinki he should ignore the children in the village he was devouring. I have always been intrigued by Kagura's character.

As if Sesshy already strong, now with the sword he's insanely strong. I wonder ho Inuyasha will get out of this.

Then there's Kaguga, possible betrayal. I cut her some slack as well, she may be heartless but she has a bit of human character in her.

The animation they use when Kagura goes flying always crack me. It look just... stupid.

Anyway, I still don't understand why Tottosai made the sword heavier. I understand it is because of InuYasha tooth, but couldn't he have used something else? It just sound stupid.

My question is why didn't anyone suggest Kagome shooting it, you know in hopes to see if her arrow could purify or dispel whatever evil was around it...

Only Kagome can make Inuyasha "sit"?

Anyway, Kagura going through a rebellious phase against his parent makes things interesting 8D

Sesshomaru has reclaimed his sword while Inuyasha is struggling to control his and is resorting to his demon strength.

Totosai is pretty strong, at least he was able to stop Sesshoumaru going after Inuyasha.

So Inuyasha letting his demon blood take over is going to be a thing now? That sounds interesting ngl.

By the way, doesn't Inuyasha have enhanced hearing alongside smell? Why didn't hear the plan of Totosai and the others when they talked about it very close to him multiple times?

Kagura flying away with that feather is a reused animation and it looks goofy af every time. Lol.

Naraku is a shit master. His servant who is probably his own flesh and blood is thinking of treason.

At this point, Seshimaru is stronger than Inuyasha. I think he is stronger than Inuyasha, he is faster and stronger because he is a full demon, but Seshimaru is weakened by the writer for a reason I do not know.
