Ep. 144: Inuyasha seeks Hosenki to reach the Netherworld where his father rests.

Inuyasha learns from Myoga that visiting Hosenki is required to access the Netherworld, the burial site of his father Inu no Taisho. After scaling a cliff, he meets Hakudoshi, who recognizes Hosenki. The group then encounters Hosenki, whose father died of old age. Although Inu no Taisho created the Black Pearl in Inuyasha’s right eye, Hosenki serves only as an apprentice. Kagura arrives to inform the group that the gateway to the Netherworld lies within a mountain in the Realm of Fire. This journey involves navigating complex relationships with the descendants of powerful demons while seeking the specific location needed to enter the spirit world. The narrative focuses on Inuyasha’s determination to connect with his heritage through these encounters and the guidance provided by his companions and new allies.
