| Tetsusaiga's new ability to absorb youki is too much for Inuyasha to handle and will eventually backfire on him. Mouryoumaru's flesh resurrects a Meioujuu, which said to have the strongest armored shields, to attack a castle containing armour made from one of its shields. It absorbs the armor, becoming strong enough to repel Inuyasha's adamant barrage when the group fights it. Mouryomaru absorbs the Meioujuu and gains its powers. Inuyasha's group goes with Sesshomaru, Kikyo, and Kohaku to face Mouryomaru's new body. Mouryoumaru taunts Sesshomaru about Kagura's death and Tokijin breaks against Mouryoumaru's body. Kikyo's arrow and the dragon-scaled Tetsusaiga force Mouryomaru to flee. | |||||

Kagome shoots a sacred arrow into Kikyo's chest, purifying the jewel and redirecting the power to Naraku, but Naraku escapes with the nearly-complete jewel and leaves Kikyo powerless and dying. Inuyasha carries her away from the others so the two of them can talk about their past happiness. Finally at peace, she smiles at Inuyasha, who kisses her before she disappears into orbs of light that the soul-collectors carry away. Koga leaves with his comrades. Sesshomaru visits his mother, seeking mastery of the full circle meidou. When she opens the meidou stone that Inuyasha's father entrusted to her, it releases a hellhound immune to Sesshomaru's attacks.
