قسمت 8: در میان ستاره‌های چشمک‌زن

8

After Inuyasha catches Kagome from the sky, Naraku recaptures the rest of the group, intending to acquire Koga's shards, but unable to defile their purity. While Inuyasha battles Naraku, Kikyo stops Kagome from using the sacred longbow to save her. Naraku drops Kikyo and his body opens up, which reveals the Shikon Jewel inside, but it disappears as Koga charges towards it, trapping him inside. Miroku and Inuyasha are able to save Koga, but his jewel shards are lost in the process. With the Shikon Jewel now in Kikyo, she urges Kagome to shoot her. It purifies the Shikon Jewel, and Kikyo's soul collectors guide the arrow at Naraku to try purifying him along with the Shikon Jewel. However, his demonic energy overwhelms Kikyo and taints the Shikon Jewel, rendering her powerless and on the verge of death. Naraku is forced to retreat, due to being wounded from the attack. As the others mourn for her death, Inuyasha shares one last kiss with Kikyo before she dies peacefully in his arms. Her soul collectors carry her spirit into the stars to rest in peace.
