Ep. 17: Sesshomaru kämpft gegen Magatsuhi, um Kohaku zu beschützen, während Inuyasha der bösen Willenskraft des Shikon-Juwels gegenübersteht

17

Inuyasha returns to Kaede's village to tell her of Kikyo's death. Kaede states that Kagome's innate spiritual power was probably sealed by Magatsuhi, the evil will of the Shikon Jewel who did so out of fear. Meanwhile, as a countermeasure against Kikyo's spiritual powers, Naraku provides some of his flesh to give Magatsuhi a physical form, ordering him to retrieve Kohaku's jewel shard. Sesshomaru struggles to defend the boy without a weapon or a left arm. Inuyasha's group arrives to find Sesshomaru's right arm badly wounded and Kohaku's shard being defiled. After Magatsuhi renders Kagome unconscious, Sesshomaru heals his wounds and assumes his true form to attack, but to no effect. The brothers struggle to battle Magatsuhi, while protecting their respective groups. Sesshomaru ends up speared and trapped in a ball of appendages, yet is able to burst through. When Totosai then appears, Sesshomaru's left arm is restored and he is wielding a new sword named Bakusaiga, able to rot whatever he cuts, forcing Magatsuhi to flee after destroying the evil spirit's vessel. Soon after, Kagome finally awakens with a puzzled expression on her face. (Source: Wikipedia)
