This week I got a day early-so you do too.
This week's Chapter is #476 And for those of you who don't know what happened last week go look at page 4 of the "A Question about Inuyasha and Kagome" Thread for that. SOoo On with the spoiler!
Chapter 476: "Rival Tetsusaiga"
We begin with where we left off. The face off between Kanna's mirror youkai and our 'fearless' Inu-gumi. Inuyasha asks himself about the Tetsusaiga copy in the mirror youkai's hand and Miroku pipes up with a "Be careful Inuyasha, yada, yada..."
Inuyasha, having failed with the kaze no kizu* launches for the mirror youkai with an attempt at the Koungosouha...Which- dun-dun-dun...Also fails! (Bet ya didn't see that one coming, did ya?) Kanna lifts her hand to make a signal and the mirror youkai raises the faux Tetsusaiga up and swings it down with...The Kaze no Kizu erupting from it! (gee, how did that happen?)
Under Miroku's instruction-they all turn tail-make like fur and flee! (funny how they need to be told when to run.) And move to hide in a cave behind one of Miroku's "sturdy" barriers. Here they begin to discuss the reason why the real Tetsusaiga is not working compared to the copy. Miroku points out that this is Kanna's mirror-the mirror youkai probably sucked up all of the Tetsusaiga's yourouyoku ( youkai power ) and by doing so drained the real fang blade to the point that it was useless, only to return fire at them.
Shippou makes some dumb comment and gets Inu to ask if he's scared when the mirror youkai manages to show up at the entrance to the cave! ( woooo-ooooo scarrry...) and breaks through the houshi's barrier with a version of the Red Tetsusaiga. Sango tries to stall it by throwing Hiraikotsu into the ceiling for an avalanche effect while Kagome shoots it with her pretty little arrow. It appears that Kags' arrow fails, little do they know that by striking the mirror youkai they are striking Kanna herself-who is shown with a blackened crack in her neck where Kags' arrow had struck the mirror youkai.
Kanna makes another move and the mirror youkai has the copy Tetsusaiga go into Koungousouha mode. No one in the cave likes the looks of that-and Inuyasha leaps out telling everyone: "STAY BACK!" And smacks his Tetsusaiga against the false one to stop it from coming down and releasing the attack....
AND so we are left in the last panel with everyone gasping out the over-called out name: "Inuyasha!" till next week where we will either A. See Kanna's death, B. Witness an 18 page whipped battle between scruff and the mirror youkai-only to be ended by Kags or C. both. Soo- I'll catch ya up next week! TTFN!
