Despite Kagura’s betrayal, Naraku preserves her heart to set a trap for Inuyasha. This sequence highlights the dangerous confrontation with Goryomaru and the strategic maneuvers involving Kagura, Sesshomaru, and Naraku as they navigate the temple’s threats and their complex interpersonal conflicts.
