Inuyasha - Severed Identities Vol- 24

Product Description The fight against the mysterious Muso continues! Although he seems to be an incarnation of Naraku like Kagura and Kanna, he doesn?t seem to be under Naraku?s control. After seeing Kagome, something awakes within Muso, memories of a past that involves Inuyasha and Kikyo. Inuyasha heads to see Totosai in order to find a way to increase the power of the Tetsusaiga. Features three episodes! ? Onigumo?s Memory Restored ? Three-Sided Battle to the Death ? Totosai?s Rigid Training Amazon.com After focusing on side characters and comedy for several episodes, the filmmakers return to the struggle against Naraku. The Faceless Man pursuing Kagome is actually Onigumo, the thief Kikyo tended 50 years earlier--who shares a vital relationship with Naraku. After an indecisive duel with Onigumo, Inu-Yasha confronts Naraku and learns that the arch-fiend also has a monthly time of weakness. But unlike Inu-Yasha, Naraku can control the day on which it falls and emerges from each period of vulnerability stronger than before. Determined to learn how to break Naraku's demonic barrier, Inu-Yasha visits the addled sword smith Totosai. Bunza, a diminutive lynx-demon, is also trying to learn the barrier-shattering technique. Inu-Yasha reveals the rarely seen gentle side of his nature as he aids Bunza, even though it doesn't help him learn the sought-after technique.
