All the party and such escape the crumbling mountain after Naraku comes out of hiding and shows off his new body. Inuyahsa stays behind to save Koga and manges to save him despite the mountain falling apart and the posion at the bottom. Outside, Kikyo meets up with Naraku and the two argue about some trivial matters. Naraku then "shows" her his true purpose, but just ends up stabbing her with his arm or something. He finally kills her and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both argue about her as well. This episode was alright, but I thought it was a lot of talking, not too interestingmoreless

This was a good episode but, also sad. It was painful to watch but you need to see, dont miss out. Inuyasha told kogame that he will get koga, let shippo take you out of this mountain. Inuyasha rush down to the bottom of the cave and took koga and started heading up the moutain that had to blow a way open. They finally made their way out of the castle and koga and inuyasha started arguing again like usual. Than he sensed something was wrong, and went to where he thought kikio was but only found sesshomaru and sesshomaru said that he wasnt after you but after kikio and inuyasha saw her bow and fell to ground saying no!!!moreless

Even though this episode was quite dramatic one, it still deserves a ten. I rated it "painful to watch" because it really is if you understand the relationship between Kikyo and Inuyasha. Through out the episode, Inuyasha keeps imagining that Kikyo is calling out to him, even as he's saving Kagome and Koga. As soon as he gets them to safetly he rushes off to confim his bad feelings. When he reaches the too of Mt. Hakure he learns that he is too late. The priestess has already been killed by Naraku and he immediately lashes out to Sesshomaru. The scene between Inuyasha and his brother is great. Sesshomaru claims to know nothing of Kikyo and is only glad to inform Inuyasha that it is his fault that Kikyo died because he could not protect her. Inuyasha drops to his knees and sheds tears for the woman he always loved. It's a great episode because it gets to the root of Inuyasha's relationship with Kikyo. You get to see how deeply connected they are even though years have passed. He just knew something was wrong and she knew she could count on him to be there for her. A lot of people will be happy that Kikyo died but I personally cannot see why people hold a grudge against her. She's more of a woman than Kagome will ever be.moreless

TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA
- When Naraku first slashes Kikyo, it was probably on purpose that he replicates the exact same wound that killed Kikyo 50 years earlier.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kikyo was hurt in this episode, yet she doesn't bleed. If Kikyo doesn't bleed, why was she bleeding after she was first resurrected back in the episode, Return of the Tragic Priestess, Kikyo?

QUOTES (8)
ADD QUOTES
- Naraku: You believed that as long as I have the heart of that worthless human, that pathetic bandit, Onigumo, who loved you with all his being, you believed that I wouldn't harm you. I feel nothing even after wounding you. So, no remorse, no sadness.
  EDIT SHARE
- Sesshomaru: Rather than take your anger out on me, I suggest you go after Naraku.
  Jaken: Exactly!
  EDIT SHARE
- Naraku: I never expected you to be following me as well, Sesshomaru. So, you find me that interesting, do you?
  EDIT SHARE
- Inuyasha: Heh! Don't get me wrong. I just didn't want Naraku to get your sacred jewel shards. That's the only reason I went after you!
  Koga: Oh yeah? Then I don't need to thank you!
  Inuyasha: That's the least you could do!
  Koga: You want my thanks or not?!
  Shippo: Isn't it obvious? He wants you to thank him.
  EDIT SHARE
- Inuyasha: The exit, where's the exit?
  Koga: You idiot! Don't you even know the way out?
  Inuyasha: I used to, but all the exits have been sealed.
  Koga: You've got to be kidding me! I ain't gonna die in this place with you.
  Inuyasha: We agree for once. Just what I was thinking!
  EDIT SHARE
- Inuyasha: Take good care of Kagome, great demon Shippo!
  EDIT SHARE
- Inuyasha: Hold on, Sesshomaru. Did you just watch her get killed? Didn't you do anything to help? (Sesshomaru starts walking away) I told you to stop!
  Sesshomaru: I do not care to know what your connection to that woman was. The person responsible for killing Kikyo was Naraku . . . and you. You're the one who didn't to save her. Inuyasha, blame yourself.
  EDIT SHARE
- Inuyasha: You wanna save that scrawny wolf, don't you?
  Kagome: Yes!
