01x01 - Are kara no Inuyasha

[bunniefuu]

His Excellency enters!

Are you the one they call

Princess Half-Demon?

HALF-DEMON GIRL - TOWA HIGURASHI

I am the Deputy Shogun of Kanto,

Ogigayatsu Hiiragi Danjo.

The name's Towa Higurashi.

Sorry, but I'm no Princess Half-Demon.

So she says, Sokyu.

My Lord, let me, if you will.

Princess Half-Demon,

I have here a book that you were carrying.

That idiot! Why'd she have to

bring that back with her?

Are the things written in here

to be the truth?

This "Reiwa" you hail from

What sort of land is it?

I can't say anything.

Or else I'd change history.

Do answer, Princess Half-Demon.

You know, you should take my advice

and let me go.

Things won't be so hot

when my friends get here.

Such nonsense.

There is something

I would like for you to see.

Is that a bike seat?!

You recognize what this is!

Indeed. It seems she knows something.

What's a thing like that doing here?

This was found when a clam fisher

was raking the river.

It was then presented to us.

There used to be rumors in

the Musashi Province

of a priestess who came

through the Bone Eater's Well

from a place called "Tokyo."

Tokyo? Well? Priestess?!

This was the saddle she used

to ride her mysterious iron wagon.

She and a half-demon named Inuyasha

traveled the land slaying demons.

What I'm about to share is a tale

that I heard over a decade ago.

It's been nearly six months

since I made the decision

to live with Inuyasha in the Feudal Era.

The days have been so peaceful,

as if the time we spent fighting

for the Shikon Jewel was all a dream.

"Inuyasha: Since Then."

Sango!

Hello, Kagome.

Oh, it's Kagome!

Kagome!

MIROKU AND SANGO'S DAUGHTERS

KIN'U & GYOKUTO

-Look, look!

-What have we got here?

We dug these up!

Lots and lots of them!

These are kudzu roots.

If we dry them, they make good medicine.

Wow, really?

Oh, that's right.

Here, I'll give you this.

What's that?

This is a kikyo root.

Kikyo root?

MIROKU'S WIFE - SANGO

MIROKU AND SANGO'S SON - HISUI

Kikyo is a very kind plant.

It helps with coughs and fevers.

Aw, what?

I wanted food.

Food, food!

Food, huh?

Come on, you two.

Don't give Kagome such a hard time.

Okay.

-The seven autumnal flowers?

-Yep.

It's from the Manyoshu, by the poet

Yamanoue-something-or-other

There, there. Don't cry, Hisui.

No crying, Hisui!

Sorry about that, Hisui.

I know I've said this before,

but Kin'u, Gyokuto, and Hisui

They all have very unique names.

It was Miroku's choice.

Miroku sure is very knowledgeable.

Speaking of which,

Inuyasha and Miroku are not back yet?

From what I hear, the demon

they're dealing with is a bit of trouble.

I see.

A landslide collapsed a nearby tomb,

and the demon that was sealed there

ended up getting out

Is this it?

It's just bones.

So many have been attacked

since the tomb collapsed.

And it's only their heads

that have been taken.

DELINQUENT MONK - MIROKU

-Miroku!

-Yes.

It's targeting us from close-by.

A DEMON SEALED BY KIKYO - ROOT HEAD

-Th-Their heads!

-It can't be

Tessaiga!

He did it!

Serves you right.

Thank you very much, good monk.

Hey! I'm the one who destroyed it!

Though it seems to have run away for now

Inuyasha, we aren't quite done yet.

Could you lead us to the collapsed tomb?

Here it is.

This is quite bad.

This is

Kikyo's arrow?

Inuyasha, would you know

anything about this?

Dunno.

Is that so. We should head back

and ask Lady Kaede, then.

That was a lousy village.

Boss, all the villages are, lately.

CAT DEMON - KIRARA

SANGO'S YOUNGER BROTHER - KOHAKU

Kirara!

This is

What happened here?

Root Head

Lord Sesshomaru.

I see.

So that demon energy came from Root Head?

Master Jaken.

Please tell me. What is this Root Head?

A worthless piece of vermin. Except

Except?

Except it's

-annoying.

-Huh?

Who, me?

There's no doubt.

This is my sister Kikyo's

Arrow of Sealing.

Kikyo's Arrow of Sealing?

Root Head is a demon

my sister sealed

shortly before meeting you, Inuyasha.

Why didn't Lady Kikyo purge

the demon with the Sacred Arrow instead?

Who knows?

At the time, she'd been dealing

with demons of all sorts,

but I think she was growing tired

of having to k*ll them.

That was also around the time

when she helped the bandit Onigumo,

who eventually became Naraku.

Root Head

was after my sister's Shikon Jewel,

much like how you were.

Who cares about me?

Shippo, Shippo!

Hey, Kin-Gyo, stop it!

I wonder what they're talking about.

As soon as they came back,

they went straight to Lady Kaede.

They're obviously discussing things

they don't want overheard!

And I was told to stay here,

in Lady Sango's house.

You too, Rin?

Maybe that's them?

-No! Stay back!

-Kagome.

Kikyo! Shikon Jewel!

Give it to me!

Oh, no!

What is that thing? Kagome!

Give me the Shikon Jewel!

Kagome!

Hiraikotsu!

Shippo. Take care of Kin-Gyo and Hisui.

S-Sure.

Sango!

Kagome!

You won't get away this time!

Damn it!

So it's made it this far, huh?

Yes.

-Kagome, are you okay?

-Y-Yes.

That demon called me Kikyo.

Wha

Inuyasha! What are you hiding from me?!

I-I wasn't trying to

Shippo, you b*stard!

Inuyasha, Lady Kagome is being targeted.

I think we'd best tell her.

Tell me what?

It told us to hand over the Shikon Jewel.

Even though it's already been destroyed!

Since it had been sealed away

by Lady Kikyo's arrow,

it didn't know about

the Shikon Jewel's demise.

That demon is called Root Head.

Its roots burrow underground

and absorb nutrients from humans.

So it's not just me?

Aren't the local villagers in danger?

That's correct.

We must eradicate it from all six

villages surrounding the Sacred Tree.

Let's go, Inuyasha.

Y-Yeah.

She's not mad at me?

He didn't need to hide it.

So there you are!

So there you are!

It's pretty big, Kagome.

I know. Leave it to me.

Wind Scar!

Brother!

Kohaku!

Where's Sister?

She's with the children.

At Sister's house?

Yes. I wish I could be there, but

Understood.

Brother, you take care of

getting the remaining villagers to safety!

All right.

It's times like these

I realize just how powerless I am

without the Wind Tunnel.

Sister, are you okay?

-Kohaku!

-Kohaku!

Thank goodness

Yes, I don't know why,

but we're fine here

Umm

What, Shippo?

If you're just gonna stand there,

why don't you help us?

You buffoon!

Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't care

what happens to a human village!

Lord Sesshomaru!

Sesshomaru! He's why we've been safe

Kohaku, watch over Hisui for me.

What? Sister?

Let's go, Kirara!

Oh, no.

Hiraikotsu!

Sango!

It looks like you're having trouble.

Yeah.

He's multiplying underground.

Damn it, there's no end to this.

Hey, Inuyasha.

Has there been a battle here before?

Yeah. Neighboring provinces

had a skirmish here.

So this thing has plenty of food.

The roots burrow underground.

But where are they coming from?

Let's go, Kagome.

-Put me down, Inuyasha!

-What?!

Don't be ridiculous.

You're the target here!

That's exactly why!

All these roots here must lead to

Root Head's main body!

I'll become a decoy and

Like I'd let you throw yourself

into danger like that!

I bet you'd say "yes," if this were Kikyo.

See, I knew it.

-What?!

-No way

Is that

Kikyo's arrow?

Wait, Granny Kaede shot it?

I just shot the very same arrow

Sister had used to seal Root Head.

That should draw it out.

Root Head will definitely respond to it.

-Inuyasha!

-Yeah!

It's getting away!

Kagome!

I won't let you escape!

Kagome!

-Are you okay, Kagome?

-Yes.

What's that?

It must be Root Head's main body!

So it's shown itself.

Kikyo!

I'll eat you whole, Shikon Jewel and all!

For the record, my name is Kagome!

And one other thing. The Shikon Jewel

no longer exists in this world, idiot!

I'll finish you off. Take this!

Meido Zangetsuha!

-Kagome!

-I got it!

They did it! The land is being purified!

Yes.

Kagome will be fine even without

borrowing my sister's powers.

Hey, Kagome!

What is it?

You almost got eaten back there, dammit!

Yeah, but I also knew you'd save me.

Of course I'd save you, you idiot.

Yep. I trust you.

So you didn't have to hide the

whole Kikyo thing from me, either.

Inuyasha?

Are you upset after all?

I'm not upset. It's just

Sit, boy.

Have a bit more faith in me, will you?

This is somewhat nostalgic.

Let's go home. The kids are waiting.

Fate brought us together to

trust and care for each other,

allowing us to overcome our own destiny.

All I have left to do is to spend

these days with Inuyasha by my side.

The Bone Eater's Well

was in the Forest of the Tree of Ages.

It used to be a dumping ground

for demons that were slain.

Any bones thrown down the well

would disappear after some time.

That is how it came to be known

as the Bone Eater's Well.

However, it seems like

that well has been sealed,

so it eats no more bones,

and no one can pass through it.

And yet

You hail from Reiwa Village.

How ever were you able to

arrive in these lands?

Now, Princess Half-Demon,

if you would regale us with your tale

You know, don't you?

What will happen to the Shogunate?

The fate of our clan?

Your Excellency

What is it?

Run.

What?

-Hey!

-Intruder!

-You'll get hurt if you stay here.

-Who are you?!

-What is happening?

-Intruder!

Shut up!

They're so weak.

Come on Towa, we're going home!

Quit loafing around here.

DEMON SLAYER - SETSUNA

You are such a handful

Thank you, Setsuna and Moroha.

Who are you?!

Who are we? Well

I knew I smelled something

strange in the air.

So it was you, Yotsume!

Since you're here, I might as

well take you out, too!

Your attacking too soon!

An apparition?!

-Oh, sh**t!

-You're open!

What a sore loser

Wait, Moroha.

He seems to know things.

We should nab him and make him talk.

Then we do have to chase after him!

Your Excellency.

I'll be taking this.

Who were they?

Oh, that's right.

And I'll be taking this, too.

NEW SOCIAL STUDIES AND HISTORY

Well, see you around!

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

Setsuna is my younger twin sister.

We were separated ten years ago,

but we finally meet again!

But why is she attacking me?!

Those are my only words for you.

That is why you will die tonight.

Moroha also appeared through

the Sacred Tree at the shrine.

What? They brought

some weird demon along, too?!
