Summary for New Inuyasha Episode #5: Destination of Annihilation: Showdown! Sesshomaru vs. Naraku (Part I)--(In Complete Chapter Form)

There is a view of Kikyo's white soul collectors coming into Naraku's Castle and giving Kikyo souls who is face down on the ground. After which, there is a view of Naraku with Inuyasha's friends situated near him and a sound of Kikyo's soul collectors heard off in the distance.

“Ahhhh……………..Sesshomaru,& #8221; Naraku says with an interested tone of voice while a close-up side view of his face is shown. “So, we finally meet once again face to face!………………………… .It's been a while,” Naraku states with an interested tone of voice while the close-up side view of his face is still shown. After which, there is a close-up of Sesshomaru who looks very serious. “I must say, Sesshomaru, your arrival here was rather unexpected,” Naraku says with a curious tone of voice while a close-up side view of his face is shown again.

“It has indeed been a while, Naraku! But I've been doing some training of my own,” Sesshomaru states and then narrows his eyes. “And I'll see to it that all of my training will truly pay off in battle,” Sesshomaru states while looking at Naraku firmly.

“Ahhh…………..so I see you've been secretly gaining power while I remain unaware of your presence this entire time! I must say, it was a good plan,” Naraku says with a look of admiration. “But even with your drastically increased power, you are still no match for me as I have used the power of the Sacred Jewel to acquire this new form that you see before you,” Naraku says while clenching his fist to express his power. “And as for the final shard of the Sacred Jewel, you ask. I have sent one of my incarnations to seek out Kohaku and extract the shard from his back! And when he did, he reappeared to me and gladly offered me the final shard,” Naraku explains and then walks over to reveal Kanna and the demon who were slaughtered by Naraku. “But unfortunately, he was no longer of any use to me,” Naraku says while a close-up of his face is shown. “And so, I have slaughtered Kanna along with my loyal servant here who gladly offered me the final shard of the Sacred Jewel,” Naraku says with an evil smirk while pointing to Kanna and the demon.

“So, it was Naraku's insidious plot to slay Kohaku in order to obtain the final shard of the Shikon Jewel,” Sesshomaru thinks to himself with a voice of certainty while a close-up of him is shown who is still looking at Naraku firmly. After which, there is a view of Naraku.

“That fool, Kohaku! He had absolutely no idea of what was coming to him,” Naraku concludes with an evil smirk and a revolting tone of voice.

“For your information, Naraku,” Sesshomaru says with an informative tone of voice while a close-up of him is shown. “I have used my Tenseiga in bringing Kohaku back from the dead,” Sesshomaru says, revealing the unpleasant truth to Naraku. "On my way over here," Sesshomaru includes. "I have managed to pick of Kohaku's familiar scent," Sesshomaru states which initiates a flashback of Sesshomaru who is running to Naraku's Castle. "What's this, I'm detecting a familiar scent," Sesshomaru thinks to himself (in the flashback) while a close-up of him is shown who looks surprised. "And that's when I decided to follow this scent and found Kohaku," Sesshomaru continues to explain to Naraku while the flashback of Sesshomaru is still shown who now finds Kohaku who has been slaughtered. And as Sesshomaru continues to examine Kohaku, Sesshomaru narrows his eyes at the fact that there is no Sacred Jewel Shard embedded in his back and decides to unsheathe his Tenseiga and slices Kohaku with it who now awakens and notices Sesshomaru standing right in front of him.

“Ah, Sesshomaru, it's you,” Kohaku says with fright immediately after he has awakened seeing that Sesshomaru is standing right beside him.

“No need to fear,” Sesshomaru explains calmly. “For it was I who brought you back to life!”

“You mean to say, you've revived me with your Tenseiga,” Kohaku asks calmly with a look of astonishment.

“I notice the shard from your back has been removed. So tell me, who was it that did this to you,” Sesshomaru asks Kohaku who is now trying the best of his ability to remember.

“All I could remember was running away from a demon who was after the shard in my back. And Sango—she was……………concerned for me and told me to run away and not to engage in battle because she was too concerned for my life at the time,” Kohaku explains to Sesshomaru. “But after that,” Kohaku explains, trying harder to remember. But as Kohaku strains his mind, he then becomes surprised that Sango is not here. “Sesshomaru,” Kohaku exclaims. “Sango—where is she?”

“Isn't it obvious,” Sesshomaru asks Kohaku with his back turned towards him. “The demon that extracted the shard from your back obviously made off with it and is being pursued this very moment by Inuyasha and his comrades!” And after Sesshomaru explained this, there is a close-up of Kohaku who looks surprised and then a close-up side view of Sesshomaru's face who has a look of profound thought. “But there's no telling about it that this was definitely Naraku's doing—considering that the scent of one of Naraku's minions was at work here,” Sesshomaru thinks to himself while the view of Naraku's Castle is shown straight ahead with the purple demonic aura around it. “Stay here, you'll be safe,” Sesshomaru informs Kohaku while the front view of Sesshomaru is shown who is looking over his shoulder at Kohaku. “Meanwhile, I'll be on my way—to assist Inuyasha's friends in battle and to vanquish my greatest nemesis,” Sesshomaru firmly stated while the close-up side view of his face is shown who is looking straight ahead with narrowed eyes and a look of strong determination and then takes off with a burst of speed. And after Sesshomaru took off, there is a view of Kohaku who looks surprised which ends the flashback and continues the story with Sesshomaru who continues his explanation to Naraku.

“So you see now! Kohaku has been risen back from the dead and is now free of your control considering that the abominable Sacred Jewel Shard you embedded in his back is no longer the force that sustains his life, but is now the force that you have acquired in order to fully assemble the Sacred Jewel and ascend yourself into a demon of incredible might,” Sesshomaru explains to Naraku while a close-up side view of his face is shown.

“You mean, Kohaku……………….HE'S ALIVE,” Sango asks who looks very surprised with her eyes wide open.

“You WHAT,” Naraku asks angrily while a close-up of him is shown who looks furious.

“And now……………….it's time! For me to send you to the dark realm,” Sesshomaru states firmly and draws his Tenseiga.

“Sesshomaru—he's planning on sending Naraku to the realm of the dead knowing the fact that the Sacred Jewel remains embedded in him,” Miroku says with a surprised tone of voice. “There's no telling what that could do,” Miroku critically states with a voice of astonishment. After which, there is a front view of Sesshomaru who has his Tenseiga drawn. And while having his Tenseiga drawn, the entire background around Sesshomaru turns pure black and Tenseiga lights up which means that Sesshomaru is letting the path of darkness created by Tenseiga guide him. But while Sesshomaru was letting Tenseiga guide him, he then immediately gets a connection between the path of darkness created by Tenseiga and Naraku's demonic power which is that if Sesshomaru were to send Naraku to the dark realm along with the Sacred Jewel, Naraku has enough power to return back to the living world. (NOTE: according to mythology, extremely powerful beings, possibly youkai, possibly not, are quite capable of overpowering the lesser underworld “demons” sent to collect their souls, or even to defeat the more powerful underworld creatures like Cowhead and Horsehead. For instance, in Journey to the West, Wukung essentially held the underworld hostage after his soul had been collected and forced the underworld officials to return him to the living world. Presumably, Naraku would be powerful enough to do this, since his physical body, not just his soul, is being sent to the underworld).

“What's this,” Sesshomaru immediately thinks to himself while a close-up side view of his face is shown who looks surprised with a thin line of electricity in front of his face indicating that Sesshomaru has just realized something. “Naraku's demonic power—it…………….exceeds the power of the shadow realm! Meaning if I were to send Naraku to the realm of the dead, he is capable of returning back into the living world,” Sesshomaru thinks with a voice of astonishment. After which, there is a front view of Sesshomaru with the light around Tenseiga disappearing and the black background returning to normal who then sheaths his Tenseiga.

“What's the matter, Sesshomaru? Why have you ceased from sending me to the realm of the dead with your Tenseiga,” Naraku asks Sesshomaru with a voice of curiosity while a close-up side view of his face is shown who has an evil smirk. After which, there is a view of Sesshomaru who remains silent for a few seconds, but then notices Inuyasha from the corner of his eyes who has been slaughtered by Naraku.

“Just as I presumed,” Sesshomaru thinks to himself while having his head turned to the right side who is looking at Inuyasha. “On my way here, I have detected an increase of scent from Inuyasha's blood!………………………..I knew it, Inuyasha, by all means, has been slaughtered by Naraku,” Sesshomaru thinks with a voice of slight disappointment while still looking at Inuyasha. But as Sesshomaru continues to look at Inuyasha for a few seconds, there is a view of nothing but empty space which is soon occupied by a close-up front view of Sesshomaru who is standing still with quick multiple holographic images shown near him which have immediately vanished (meaning that Sesshomaru has approached Inuyasha with a quick burst of speed). And while Sesshomaru is standing still in front of Inuyasha, there is a view of Sesshomaru's hand on Tenseiga who is about to draw it once again in order to revive Inuyasha. But while Sesshomaru's hand is still on Tenseiga, Sesshomaru's hand slowly takes its grip off of Tenseiga. After which, Sesshomaru's perspective is shown who is looking beyond Inuyasha and notices his Tetsusaiga which lays with its tip embedded in the ground. And after the view of Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga is shown, there is then a close-up of Sesshomaru's face who has narrowed eyes.

“Tetsusaiga………………&# 8230;…,” Sesshomaru thinks to himself with a quiet tone of voice. And after Sesshomaru thought that, there is a flashback of Sesshomaru wielding Tetsusaiga in protecting the woman who fell in love with him (Sara) while currents of electricity are going through him which is Tetsusaiga's barrier. “That time……………..when I wielded Tetsusaiga in order to save Sara. The barrier of Tetsusaiga—it was still intact,” Sesshomaru thinks while the flashback is still shown of Sesshomaru wielding Tetsusaiga with the current of electricity going through him. “Coursing through every part of my body and attempting to sap every ounce of energy I had,” Sesshomaru thinks while Sesshomaru is shown in the flashback who is now unleashing the Wind Scar which destroys the demons and makes the entire screen turn white. But after the entire screen turned white, the flashback ends and there is now a close-up side view of Sesshomaru's face who continues to think. “Yes………….I see it now! It was my father who was overpowering me with his decisive barrier,” Sesshomaru thinks while narrowing his eyes. “And I felt as though I were in conflict with my father—trying to overcome his barrier with my demonic power which proved to be nothing compared to his,” Sesshomaru continues to think and then further narrows his eyes. “But with all of this training I have been undergoing, I somehow feel………..different! I feel as though my demon blood has surpassed Inuyasha's and my father's combined! And if I'm not mistaken, if I were to take hold of Tetsusaiga right now, father's barrier would be unable to withstand rejecting me due to my immense power,” Sesshomaru thinks with an interested tone of voice. “In other words, my increased strength would be able to shut down my father's barrier over this sacred sword once and for all! And I, the Supreme Aristocratic Assassin, Sesshomaru would officially become Tetsusaiga's New Fully-Trained Master,” Sesshomaru thinks who has a look of confidence and a proud smirk on his face.

“What are you planning,” Naraku says with an impatient look. “I don't have all day!”

“Don't worry, Naraku, you'll soon see what I have in store for you,” Sesshomaru smirked and then walks over to Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga. After which, there is a view of Sesshomaru's hand taking hold of Tetsusaiga and some electricity that is occurring.

“Eh, what's this,” Naraku asks while observing Sesshomaru with much interest. “I see you're trying to take possession of Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga! How interesting,” Naraku states with a voice of interest. “But don't you see? The barrier around Tetsusaiga will prevent you from wielding it! So give up—it's useless,” Naraku informs Sesshomaru while a close-up side view of Naraku's face is shown. Which then, a view of Sesshomaru's hand is shown which is still grasping Tetsusaiga while electricity is still occurring. But as Sesshomaru continues to grasp Tetsusaiga, the electricity that is occurring around Tetsusaiga slowly disappears which means that Sesshomaru has overcome Tetsusaiga's barrier! And once the electricity disappeared, there is a little bit of smoke occurring from Tetsusaiga. Which then, Sesshomaru slowly takes Tetsusaiga out of the ground. (NOTE: You already know that the reason why Tetsusaiga has this barrier is because it was Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father's power over that sword which only allows humans and half-demons to wield it. But however, the barrier does not possess unlimited energy and power--it only possesses all of the energy and power of Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's father because it was his energy and power that created Tetsusaiga's barrier which obviously prevents full-blooded demons from wielding it. But because Sesshomaru has now become more powerful than Inuyasha and his father combined due to all of his training, Sesshomaru has overcome that power over Tetsusaiga when he took hold of it which is why Sesshomaru now fully wields Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga. So therefore, because Sesshomaru has been undergoing intense training, when Sesshomaru continued to grasp Tetsusaiga, Sesshomaru's immense spiritual power was draining the energy of the barrier. And because of that, the barrier was unable to withstand preventing Sesshomaru from wielding Tetsusaiga any longer due to his immense power which means that the barrier has used up all of its energy in trying to prevent Sesshomaru from wielding Tetsusaiga which resulted in the barrier disappearing which means that Sesshomaru has shut down [overcome] Tetsusaiga's barrier! But however, Sesshomaru's hand was only burned 25% as badly as it was when he wielded Tetsusaiga in order to save Sara due to the fact that Sesshomaru has now become very immune to the barrier's effect due to all of his intense training! And because of that, Sesshomaru now fully wields Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga! But even though Sesshomaru has overcome Tetsusaiga's barrier, the barrier will not be able to regain its energy because when Sesshomaru overcame Tetsusaiga's barrier, it was as if Sesshomaru has overcome his father [due to the fact that Sesshomaru is more powerful than Inuyasha and his father combined and has overcome the barrier because of that immense power that courses through Sesshomaru]! In addition, the barrier part of Tetsusaiga and the transformation part of Tetsusaiga are not the same. So therefore, even though Sesshomaru has overcome Tetsusaiga's barrier, that does not mean that Sesshomaru has overcome Tetsusaiga's power which allows it to transform--he has only overcome the barrier which means that Tetsusaiga still has the ability to transform, but no longer has the ability to reject full-blooded demons by sending currents of electricity)!

“WHAT…………HOW……̷ 0;….IMPOSSIBLE,” Naraku yells with astonishment while trembling at the fact that Sesshomaru has overcome Tetsusaiga's barrier.

“You have now witnessed the power of a true master,” Sesshomaru says proudly and then holds off Tetsusaiga towards the side in a horizontal position. “Behold, Naraku,” Sesshomaru says calmly with much pride while having Tetsusaiga in a horizontal position which now pulsates. And after Tetsusaiga was done pulsating, Sesshomaru then immediately raises it in the air. “As I am now Tetsusaiga's New Fully-Trained Master,” Sesshomaru yells with much pride while having Tetsusaiga raised in the air which has transformed the moment Sesshomaru started to yell these words. (NOTE: when Tetsusaiga transformed in Sesshomaru's hands, the transformation was shown 3 times from 3 different angles! Also, the reason why Tetsusaiga transformed for Sesshomaru is because not only did Sesshomaru have a desire to destroy Naraku, but he also had the desire to protect Inuyasha's friends in the proccess)! And after Tetsusaiga's transformaton in Sesshomaru's hands, there is view of Naraku who looks very surprised.

“Behold, Inuyasha's Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga in its fully transformed state which I now fully wield” Sesshomaru proudly stated while a view of Tetsusaiga is shown which is in its transformed state and is still raised in the air by Sesshomaru. After which, Tetsusaiga is shown slowly coming down and being aimed straight ahead at Naraku. “And now, I shall gladly wield Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga in assuring your death once and for all,” Sesshomaru says while a view of him is shown who is looking firmly at Naraku with Tetsusaiga aimed straight ahead towards him. “And now……………………it's time for you to die, Naraku,” Sesshomaru says with much enthusiasm who has made the decision of not reviving Inuyasha and to wield Tetsusaiga and battle Naraku alone. So therefore, without any hesitation, Sessshomaru immediately dashes up to Naraku which initiates the final battle between Naraku and the Supreme Aristocratic Assassin!
