Episode 71 - The battle of the three to the death
Inuyasha uses the Scar of the Wind over and over hoping to bring Muso down, but no matter what he continues to regenerate himself. Miroku points out that the spider mark on Muso's back is where the regeneration seems to center itself, so Inuyasha tries to destroy that portion of his body. Before he can Naraku's wasps carry it away as the other chunks of Muso's body fly after it trying to reattach themselves. Muso manages to restore himself again but Naraku arrives and attempts to reabsorb him. Muso refuses and then Inuyasha arrives. While Naraku and Inuyasha battle Muso escapes, but Kagura pursues him when he suddenly decides to turn around and heads back towards Naraku. Muso stabs Naraku in the chest with his dagger-like arm, but this only makes it easier for Naraku to reabsorb him. He quickly does and Miroku asks if this means Naraku is a half-demon just like Inuyasha. Naraku admits that he is, and like Inuyasha there is a certain time in which his powers weaken, but unlike Inuyasha Naraku gets to decide when that time is. Naraku's powers have increased, as well as his mystical barriers, which now seem impenetrable to Inuyasha and his Tetsusaiga.
