Naraku's Uncertain Wish.Naraku releases more miasma, while Inuyasha uses Tetsusaiga's barrier to protect himself, Kagome and Miroku. Sango arrives riding Kirara and throws her Hirakotsu, but it absorbs too much of the miasma and Sango, poisoned, falls through a hole that Naraku opens in his flesh. Miroku follows and she decides to die with him there. Elsewhere, Sesshomaru, having recovered Rin, strikes Naraku's outer body with Bakusaiga; the effects of the blade's destruction begin to spread rapidly. When Kagome questions Naraku about whether his real wish has come true, he becomes enraged. As he absorbs the Shikon Jewel, he begins transforming and spreading spiderwebs around the area. Inuyasha unleashes Meido Zangestuha, which takes on the form of slashing blades due to the different nature of his sword. Miroku and Sango fall again, but are joined by Shippo. Byakuya slashes Kagome across the back with his blade, but strangely it leaves no wound. Inuyasha quickly attacks and kills Byakuya, who states that he has fulfilled his purpose. Together, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara, along with Sesshomaru's group, join Inuyasha and Kagome in the final battle against Naraku.
