02x17 - Akuru no kazaguruma

[bunniefuu]

I'm home, Grandpa!

Ah, Mei. Welcome back.

We're home.

Oh, my.I wonder if
something happened again.

It's been
happening a lot lately, hasn't it?

MEI HIGURASHI

Grandpa?

What's the matter?

Oh, my. Again?

Oh! Grammy, I promised to
meet up with Itsumi, so I'll be going now!

There seems to be
a lot going on, so be careful.

I will!

There are disturbing
shadows on the trunk of the Sacred Tree.

This is an ominous sign.

Nothing bad will happen
to Kagome or Towa, right?

I don't know.

I don't know, but...

something even worse might be approaching.

I can see the Grim Comet so clearly.

I'm the foreign entity
in this world, but no one else can see it.

-Hello!
-Huh?

See you later, Mr. Kirin!

-Oh, yes, hello.
-Bye-bye!

I cannot bear
the thought of young lives such as hers

being wiped out by the Grim Comet.

SESSHOMARU

At this rate, he will be
robbed of his Haku, which will k*ll him!

Absorb the demon energy, Kyuyokon!

Stop.

If you don't...

you'll die.

What's the matter, Towa?

Towa!

"Akuru's pinwheel".

What's wrong,
Towa? Pull yourself together!

What in the world is going on?

This is...

-Her Kon has been drained!
-Her Kon?

Your Kon is what allows
your heart and mind to function.

In other words, it is your soul.

What happens when your Kon is gone?

In short...

it means that your mind is dead.

Towa!

No way.

This is too awful!

Please, wake up!

Towa!

Towa!

You're...

The sound of
a pinwheel means that Akuru is here.

Akuru?

He is a Time Spirit that is
only visible to the Dog-Demon Clan.

I can only hear the sound of his pinwheel.

-What?
-Towa!

Are you all right, Towa?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Half-Demon Princesses...

it seems that Akuru has
acknowledged the both of you.

The Spirit of the Tree of Ages!

YOUNG RACCOON DOG DEMON -TAKECHIYO
YOUNG FOX DEMON -SHIPPO

I wonder if Sesshomaru is all right.

He's fine.

How can you tell?

I don't smell any blood.

INUYASHA

He probably hid within the Tree of Ages.

Moroha, did you know?

I came from
the other world through this well.

What?

And this place...

is a very important
place for me and Inuyasha.

The taste of the outside
air is really nice after so long!

Here. Take this.

What's this?

We made this for you.

After we ran into you before,
Inuyasha and I decided to make you one.

Before?

You were flying through
the air at incredible speed, remember?

Oh!

It's Mom and Dad!

So that really wasn't an illusion.

It's made from...

Ow!

It's made from Inuyasha's hair

and things
we gathered at your grandpa's grave.

What the hell are you doing, Kagome?

I see.

Your current bow is
probably too small for you anyway.

I'm sure that it'll protect you!

Thank you!

As you have heard,

the Grim Comet is about to
come crashing down in the Reiwa era.

Destroy the Grim Comet

and remove the foreign entity.

-The foreign entity?
-Are you talking about Mr. Kirin?

You haven't much time.

You must hurry and
head to the Windmill of Time.

As always, you like to order us around.

I don't like it.

The fate of this world lies in
the hands of you Half-Demon Princesses.

I'm counting on you...

Towa...

Setsuna...

I'm glad you were
able to survive until now.

And...

I'm very sorry
I haven't been able to help you...

all this time.

-Mother?
-Mother?

Please don't apologize.

Right now...

I'd like to hug the both of you!

But that's not possible at the moment.

I had wondered why...

Lord Sesshomaru took
you away soon after you were born...

but now I know.

The two of you are
the daughters of Lord Sesshomaru!

There is something you must do right now.

We know.

We will destroy
the Grim Comet in the other world!

But how are
we supposed to travel through time?

The Windmill of Time can be
found in front of Her Ladyship's manor.

She might know something.

Her Ladyship?

I'm referring to Lord Sesshomaru's mother.

I shall show you where it is.

-Understood.
-Understood.

Well, Mother...

we'll be going now!

-Towa!
-Yes?

-Setsuna!
-Yes?

Please make sure to come back alive!

-We will!
-We will!

And also...

please allow me and
Lord Sesshomaru to give you two a big hug!

It's a promise!

This way!

Well, then...

We'll be going now!

Lord Sesshomaru...

this was...

for the best, wasn't it?

-There he is!
-There he is!

Curse you, Sesshomaru.

Where are you?

Too bad. You'll be taking me on instead.

You guys, stand back!

I'll be fine.

Moroha, you stay hidden.

Mom! Dad!

I survived this long without running away.

I'm fighting too!

Very well!

Don't go running away, crying!

But don't push yourself, either!

I won't!

Begone!

I don't have time to be playing with you!

Shut up!

Wind Scar!

Don't interfere with my plans!

Go! Sacred Arrow!

Take this! Adamant Barrage!

The Dog-Demon's descendants
just continue to get on my nerves.

I won't hold back against
women and children anymore.

I will put an end...

to your clan and all its followers!

Go!

I...

I of all people...

chose to dodge it?

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

I'm done playing around!

I could say the same thing!

This demon energy is just perfect!

Backlash Wave!

Damn you!

What's with that guy?

He cancelled out Inuyasha's Backlash Wave!

Kirinmaru is ridiculously strong!

-Sacred Arrow!
-Sacred Arrow!

-Take this!
-Take this!

Wind Scar!

I won't allow...

any further acts of insolence!

We were saved by Tessaiga's scabbard.

That was a close one!

How scary.

What incredible demon power!

Moroha!

Towa! Setsuna!

We're going to the other
era to destroy the Grim Comet!

What did you say?

Okay! Got it!

If I'm not mistaken...

your name is Akuru, right?

Whoa!

What's the big idea?

Akuru is telling you to go with them!

-What?
-Get going!

But...

They're your friends, right?

Yeah!

This way!

Towa! Setsuna! Let's go!

-Okay!
-Okay!

You're not going anywhere!

I won't let you lay
a finger on my daughter.

I'll carry you there!

Takechiyo!

Hey!

Do you intend on leaving me behind?

I wonder how
Lady Towa and the others are doing.

I wonder as well.

The fact that I'm still alive

means that Lord Kirinmaru
still hasn't been defeated.

Th-That's true.

What? Miss Rion!

Miss Rion!

What's the matter?

Pull yourself together!

My body...

is unable to move anymore.

No way!

Rion!

This is no time to be distracted!

I don't have time to play
around with you any longer!

Hit the target!

I missed?

Where the hell did he go?

Just as I thought.

Kirinmaru is bringing
about the Degenerate Age.

You had almost completed
the one thousand–day training...

necessary to defeat him.

No.

This battle that is about to occur

is the perfect way to wrap up my training.

Let's go, Miroku.

Let's do this.

By the way, have the kids been doing well?

It seems they are!

Demon Slayers...

I've
heard rumors that a great demon

by the name of Kirinmaru is
trying to bring about the Degenerate Age.

Is this true?

He is too
powerful for us to handle.

Your Excellency,
Princess, I implore you...

to get away from here.

Does this mean
that even you cannot slay him?

-It'll be all right!
-Huh?

The Demon Slayers
have Hisui and Setsuna!

If you all work together,
I'm sure things will work out!

Isn't that right? Am I right?

That's definitely the case!

Princess, you can't be serious.

This was given to me by the shogun.

It is a great blade
that can purge evil spirits...

known as the Kikujumonji.

I shall bestow it unto you.

Do your best to defeat Kirinmaru!

That's out of the question.

Kirinmaru is...

Please accept it, Chief.

I've heard from Setsuna

that Towa has some sort
of connection to that sword.

It might prove
useful in slaying Kirinmaru.

Is that so?

How about it, Demon Slayers?

In that case, we shall
happily accept your offer.

Good. We're counting
on you, Demon Slayers.

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

Miss Rion!

Please wake up!

What in the world has happened?

Miss Rion!

I thought so.

I figured her artificial
body was reaching its limit.

Lord Kirinmaru!

Rion...

no one cherishes you more...

than I, your father, Kirinmaru.

Rion's Kon may be sealed
within these bones and grave soil...

but as time passes,

she will expend the Haku
required to move that vessel.

You won't get any thanks for this.

I wasn't expecting any.

But do you mind chatting a bit?

You can't be serious, Lord Kirinmaru.

I'm thinking of going to
the other time period soon.

Rion...

I'd like you to come with me.

You guys...

you're pushing me
around way too much today!

VILLAGE ELDER PRIESTESS - KAEDE

I'm at my limit!

I've worked too hard today!

It's been a long time
since we've been here, hasn't it?

K-Kagome?

And Inuyasha!

You're alive?

Granny Kaede!

I've come back.

Granny Kaede, I'm sorry for
being away for such a long time.

There's no need to
be concerned about that.

More importantly,

you should hurry up and
evacuate the villagers to a safe location.

What's going on?
Is there going to be another w*r?

No.

It's not a w*r.

Something worse might happen.

I can see it!

That's Lord Sesshomaru's mother's manor!

That's...

The Windmill of Time!

SESSHOMARU'S MOTHER

What a strange-sounding crow.

You're right.

What are they?

Crows?

I suppose... they're crows.

What?

The crows disappeared.

Oh, you're right.

-How strange!
-Yeah.

Carrion Crows?

They supposedly
went extinct 500 years ago.

Demons that never
existed within the world of Reiwa

have started to appear.

from the Grim Comet.

But what can I do about them...

in my current state?

Go to the Windmill of Time,
and the Doors of Time should open.

but it's easier said than done!

That's Meidomaru!

The Windmill of Time
won't turn as long as he's around!

Welcome to the Underworld!
