Ep. 26: The Revelation Behind the Four-Souled Jewel’s Hidden Power
Aired on May 14, 2001
Sango observes that Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku assisted in burying the graves of her fellow villagers. She subsequently discovers the secret to crossing the barrier into a cave near her village, where the shrine maiden Midoriko originally created the Shikon Jewel, an artifact capable of purifying youkai souls. The narrative explains that when a person maximizes four specific spirits—courage, friendship, wisdom, and love—they unite to create a powerful balance within the soul. This equilibrium can be harnessed for either good or evil purposes, revealing the true nature of the jewel's origin and potential.
