The Backlash Wave/Bakuryuuha is a deadly attack that envelops the opponent's energy in the Wind Scar, and reverses the flow of the energy.
While Inuyasha is stumbling towards his sword, Tetsusaiga, in his demon form, Ryukotsusei fires at him with his energy attack and you can clearly see Inuyasha is holding up Tetsusaiga's sheath. We then zoom closer to Inuyasha and his hand isn't holding the sheath, anymore !
Miroku: (about Inuyasha) One victory and he thinks he's invincible. Sango: I'll say. Such a simpleton! Shippo: Not to mention a show-off!
Inuyasha: There's no one who can beat me now! I dare anyone to stop me! Kagome: Inuyasha! (Inuyasha freezes) Kagome: Sit boy! (Inuyasha hits the dirt)
