The resurrected Kikyo could have stopped this spell, but doesn't. She takes the laboriously assembled shards of the sacred jewel from Kagome and gives them
Director Masashi Ikeda evokes Beauty and the Beast when Kagome defends the gentle but monstrous half-demon Jenenji from an angry mob. After witnessing her kindness, Inu-Yasha reveals how he suffered because he was neither fully human nor fully demon, and rejected by all. Naraku draws his webs of deceit and fear ever tighter: as Kagome's arrow damaged his physical body, he's been pitting demons in deadly battles, so he can take the ultimate victor's body as his own. The resurrected Kikyo could have stopped this spell, but doesn't. She takes the laboriously assembled shards of the sacred jewel from Kagome and gives them to Naraku, mocking him with the revelation that for all his evil, he remains only a half-demon. As the story builds to its climax, excitement and adventure replace much of the earlier comedy. (Unrated, suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
Contains Episodes 31-33 In search of medicinal herbs to help Sango and Kirara after being poisoned by Naraku during their last battle, Inuyasha and Kagome encounter a giant half-demon named Jinenji, who exists peacefully with his mother, tending herbs.

Inuyasha, seeing something of his own history reflected in the villagers' treatment of Jinenji, decides to stay and find the real culprit. Later, while continuing their journey in search of Naraku, the group encounters a mysterious mountain, surrounded by deadly miasma. Suspecting Naraku's handiwork, they travel further inside the mountain, eventually discovering hordes of demons trapped inside. Inuyasha, ignoring Miroku's warning, becomes trapped in a deadly spell Naraku is working. The sudden appearance of Kikyo only makes a confusing situation that much worse…
