Despite Tetsusaiga's newfound weight (see episode 44), Inuyasha manages to kill Kaijinbo. However, Tokijin remains unscathed and with its evil aura intact. The evil aura prevents anyone from being able to lift it from the ground. The group wonders who could have wanted a sword such as Tokijin made in the first place. Inuyasha wants to stick around and find out, while the others don't. Elsewhere, Sesshomaru and Jaken return to Rin after their trip from Kaijinbo's (see episode 44). Sesshomaru detects the presence of Kagura. Jaken notes that she has the same smell as the man who gave Sesshomaru an arm (see episode 18). Kagura explains that she is an incarnation of Naraku and that Tokijin is nearby. The next day, Myoga tells the others that they shouldn't let Inuyasha know about Tetsusaiga and its seal on his demon blood (see episodes 43 and 44). As he says that, Totosai explains to Inuyasha why his Tetsusaiga is so heavy. It's because, before, Inuyasha was being protected solely by his father 's strength (since it was made from his fang) and now he's protecting himself (since it now has one of his own fangs in it) and Inuyasha will have to truly master his own power to master Tetsusaiga. Suddenly, Sesshomaru appears and picks up Tokijin from the ground. Much to Totosai's shock, Sesshomaru defeats the evil aura on the sword. Sesshomaru attacks Inuyasha, so he can get a better understanding of how and why Inuyasha's scent changed when he fought Goshinki. Inuyasha unsheathes Tetsusaiga and attacks Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru manages to knock Tetsusaiga away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha decides not to pick it up again and to attack Sesshomaru without it. Sesshomaru easily knocks Inuyasha back with energy from Tokijin. As Sesshomaru charges towards Inuyasha, he sees that Inuyasha has transformed into a full-blooded demon again! Totosai sprays fire between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru so the others can rescue Inuyasha.. With the help of the 'sit' command, Kagome and the others escape with Inuyasha. Later, Sesshomaru thinks about Inuyasha's transformation and admits to himself that he had felt a moment of real fear when Inuyasha had transformed into a full demon . Meanwhile, Kagura notes Sesshomaru's strength and hopes that she can use his strength to kill Naraku so she can be free.
