    "The Silver-Scale Curse."
[01:54] ---
    HALF-DEMON GIRL — TOWA HIGURASHI
[01:55] ---
    Moroha, what's the point
    of bringing us way out here?
[02:00] ---
    SETSUNA MOROHA
[02:00] ---
    We're here to tend
    to your business.
[02:02] ---
    We're seeing Bokusen-Oh
    to get the Kyuyokon root.
[02:07] ---
    What exactly is this Kyuyokon root anyway?
[02:10] ---
    I'm not really sure. But it must be
    essential to make your new sword.
[02:16] ---
    Moroha, are you sure
    you got the right information this time?
[02:18] ---
    Mr. Jyubei messed up before,
    but he's sure this time.
[02:23] ---
    Bokusen-Oh should be
    somewhere deep in that forest.
[02:26] ---
    It sure doesn't look like it.
[02:28] ---
    I guess we still have a long way to go.
[02:30] ---
    Now let's go!
[02:33] ---
    - Come on, Setsuna.
    - Right.
[02:41] ---
    SPIRIT FROM THE DREAM WORLD —
    DREAM BUTTERFLY
[02:45] ---
    TOWA AND SETSUNA'S MOTHER — RIN
[02:52] ---
    SESSHOMARU
[02:53] ---
    I see. So Setsuna and the others
    are heading over to Bokusen-Oh.
[02:57] ---
    Do you think Setsuna
[02:57] ---
    JAKEN
[02:59] ---
    will be able to master
    the Yukari no Tachikiri?
[03:02] ---
    Who knows?
[03:03] ---
    "Who knows?" Surely you can't be...
[03:07] ---
    Let's go, Jaken.
[03:09] ---
    Y-Yes, My Lord.
[03:15] ---
    If I recall,
    Rin must've been 18 years old back then.
[03:20] ---
    14 YEARS AGO
[03:24] ---
    Bakusaiga!
[03:26] ---
    Meido Zangetsuha!
[03:42] ---
    Please let my children be safe.
[03:48] ---
    Waiting for Lord Sesshomaru?
[03:51] ---
    Who are you?
[03:52] ---
    Call me Otsuyu.
[03:55] ---
    I am someone
    who despises half-demon children
[03:57] ---
    and their human parents.
[03:59] ---
    Half-demons and humans?
[04:01] ---
    Yes. I am talking
    about the twin girls.
[04:05] ---
    Half-demons are the cause
    of all misfortunes.
[04:11] ---
    If I let those half-demon twins roam free,
[04:14] ---
    disaster will befall my brother Kirinmaru,
    and it will lead to his demise.
[04:18] ---
    KIRINMARU'S OLDER SISTER — ZERO
[04:19] ---
    It would be easy
    to kill you here and now.
[04:22] ---
    However, that would play into
    the hands of you humans,
[04:26] ---
    who seek to be loved
    during your short and fleeting life.
[04:28] ---
    Just like Izayoi once did.
[04:32] ---
    Those who are loved
    are fated to end in beauty.
[04:35] ---
    I can't stand that!
[04:40] ---
    The silver-scale curse.
[04:42] ---
    Now you'll be covered
    in ugly silver scales
[04:45] ---
    and slowly rot away alive.
[04:48] ---
    Bakusai—
[04:49] ---
    You want the woman to die?
[04:52] ---
    Lord Sesshomaru! Master Jaken!
[04:54] ---
    Rin! Are you okay?
[04:56] ---
    You! Zero, was it?
[04:58] ---
    What did you just do to Rin?
[05:01] ---
    A little too late, Lord Sesshomaru.
[05:06] ---
    I wouldn't do that. If you kill me,
    then this woman dies as well.
[05:12] ---
    She and I now share
    the same thread of fate.
[05:16] ---
    The only way to lift
    the silver-scale curse is to kill me.
[05:20] ---
    But if you do,
    then this woman will die too.
[05:24] ---
    Lord Sesshomaru...
[05:26] ---
    Then what will happen
    if she's left like this?
[05:29] ---
    Ugly silver scales
    will begin to cover her entire body.
[05:33] ---
    Oh, my. How horrible.
[05:35] ---
    Can Lord Sesshomaru
    still continue to love this woman?
[05:41] ---
    Zero... what is it you want?
[05:43] ---
    Where are the half-demon twins?
[05:46] ---
    Tell me where they are,
    and I will lift the curse.
[05:50] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[05:51] ---
    If we tell you where they are,
    you'll lift Rin's curse, right?
[05:55] ---
    In that case, I, Jaken will—
[05:56] ---
    Master Jaken, no!
[05:58] ---
    But, Rin...
[06:02] ---
    Rin! What are you doing?
[06:05] ---
    Let me be the one to die!
[06:06] ---
    I can't stand the thought
    of those two dying because of me!
[06:10] ---
    Rin...
[06:11] ---
    I have not yet had the chance
    to hold our children.
[06:16] ---
    But even so, my love for them
    rivals that of yours, Lord Sesshomaru.
[06:22] ---
    I will do anything for those children!
[06:27] ---
    Humans are such interesting creatures.
[06:33] ---
    I will give you some time
    to think over it.
[06:35] ---
    I shall return once more
    after Kirinmaru awakens.
[06:38] ---
    I expect a good answer.
[06:43] ---
    So... hot.
[06:48] ---
    Rin! Are you in pain?
[06:54] ---
    The curse is moving through her quickly.
[06:56] ---
    We must take action...
[06:59] ---
    I know! Lord Sesshomaru!
[07:01] ---
    I have a plan!
[07:04] ---
    Let's seal Rin inside the Tree of Ages.
[07:06] ---
    The problem is Inuyasha and Kagome.
[07:09] ---
    They'll probably go after Kirinmaru
    and try to take down Zero too.
[07:15] ---
    But then Rin will die.
[07:23] ---
    It's been a while, Kirinmaru.
[07:26] ---
    Will you slay Inuyasha?
[07:29] ---
    Could it be that Lord Sesshomaru
    is going to lend a hand?
[07:33] ---
    BEAST KING — KIRINMARU
[07:33] ---
    Come with me, Sesshomaru.
[07:38] ---
    Inuyasha!
[07:39] ---
    INUYASHA KAGOME
[07:40] ---
    - Inuyasha, are you okay?
    - Yeah.
[07:44] ---
    Kagome!
[07:47] ---
    Kagome!
[07:49] ---
    You helped them?
[07:51] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:57] ---
    Burn the entire forest
[07:58] ---
    and erase those cursed half-demon sisters
    from the face of this world.
[08:02] ---
    Setsuna!
[08:08] ---
    Rin, I'm sorry!
[08:10] ---
    Zero found the girls
    and burned down the Sealed Forest.
[08:16] ---
    But no need to worry.
[08:18] ---
    I, Jaken, will make sure
    Setsuna is taken to a safe place.
[08:21] ---
    I've lost track of Towa at the moment,
    but I'll find her right away and—
[08:27] ---
    The scales are spreading!
[08:28] ---
    But why?
[08:29] ---
    To stop the curse, you must freeze
    this woman's time permanently.
[08:34] ---
    The Tree of Ages...
[08:36] ---
    Where's Towa? Where did you hide Towa?
[08:39] ---
    SPIRIT OF THE TREE OF AGES
[08:39] ---
    She traveled across time
    and was sent to the other world.
[08:44] ---
    But the more pressing matter
    is to stop the silver-scale curse.
[08:50] ---
    Use the Butterfly to bring dreams to her.
[08:52] ---
    Bring her dreams?
[08:57] ---
    That is a Butterfly chrysalis.
[09:00] ---
    Attach it to someone
    who is close to the woman
[09:03] ---
    and grow the Dream Butterfly.
[09:06] ---
    If you use the Butterfly
    to keep giving her sleep and dreams...
[09:09] ---
    this woman will continue
    to sleep and dream.
[09:13] ---
    That will stop her time
    and also slow the curse down.
[09:17] ---
    Understood.
[09:20] ---
    Hey.
[09:21] ---
    A-UN
[09:23] ---
    You there, little girl.
    Hop on.
[09:43] ---
    FEUDAL ERA — PRESENT TIME
[09:45] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting,
    Lord Sesshomaru.
[09:48] ---
    What were you doing, Jaken?
[09:51] ---
    Um... I was using the toilet.
[09:55] ---
    Let's go.
[09:58] ---
    Please wait for me! Lord Sesshomaru!
[10:09] ---
    We finally made it out.
[10:11] ---
    I thought it was gonna go on forever.
[10:18] ---
    Are we getting any closer to Bokusen-Oh?
[10:21] ---
    Setsuna, what's wrong?
[10:23] ---
    I seem to have left my violin somewhere.
[10:25] ---
    Go on without me. I'll catch up.
[10:31] ---
    Geez, such a ditz.
[10:33] ---
    I'm tired. Let's take a break around here.
[10:36] ---
    Okay.
[10:37] ---
    Hurry up, Towa.
[10:38] ---
    Hey, wait up, Moroha.
[10:41] ---
    Come on out.
[10:42] ---
    I was just thinking about testing
    the sharpness of my Yukari no Tachikiri.
[10:50] ---
    So you're the daughter of Sesshomaru?
[10:53] ---
    We've heard about you.
    They say you're a half-demon.
[10:56] ---
    Even if you're only a half-demon,
[10:57] ---
    being Sesshomaru's daughter
    makes you worth defeating!
[11:01] ---
    The perfect prey for us!
[11:09] ---
    What's with this power?
[11:32] ---
    Scourge of... Swallows!
[11:35] ---
    - Brother!
    - Brother!
[11:38] ---
    My eyes!
[11:39] ---
    You okay?
[11:40] ---
    Damn her!
[11:43] ---
    My eyes are so itchy.
[11:45] ---
    Wonder if there's a bug in it.
[11:49] ---
    A Rainbow Pearl?
[11:51] ---
    - Die, Sesshomaru's daughter!
    - Die, Sesshomaru's daughter!
[12:10] ---
    PIRATE WASHED ASHORE — RIKU
[12:19] ---
    Was that your real target?
[12:21] ---
    You knew I was following you?
[12:24] ---
    That earring of yours...
[12:25] ---
    it gives out strange wavelengths.
[12:29] ---
    Are you after the Rainbow Pearls
    and not us?
[12:33] ---
    You're awfully fussy.
[12:35] ---
    What if I said I'm here
    because I wanted to help you ladies?
SIGN    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE — YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[12:46] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[12:52] ---
    You wanted to help us?
[12:54] ---
    Actually, I don't care
    what happens to you personally.
[12:58] ---
    But I'd hate to see
    Lady Towa cry because of it.
[13:00] ---
    So it's Towa that you're after.
[13:02] ---
    You're in league with Kirinmaru.
    So stop hanging around Towa!
[13:06] ---
    "In league with Kirinmaru," huh?
[13:08] ---
    I can't deny that part.
    However, I will never admit to it.
[13:14] ---
    Your words ring hollow to me.
[13:16] ---
    In that case...
[13:17] ---
    let me tell you
    in words you'll understand.
[13:20] ---
    You don't have what it takes
    to protect Lady Towa on your own.
[13:24] ---
    You're not using your new naginata
    to its full potential at all.
[13:28] ---
    So what's your point?
[13:30] ---
    So I'm taking it upon myself
    to be the bodyguard.
[13:34] ---
    I may be an nuisance to you, but I can't
    be dealing with you every time we meet.
[13:37] ---
    So try to look the other way, okay?
[13:40] ---
    Look the other way?
[13:42] ---
    I suppose I can trust you
    for wanting to protect Towa.
[13:46] ---
    That's all I ask for.
[13:47] ---
    This is just a small token
    of my appreciation.
[13:54] ---
    This is...
[13:57] ---
    I see. So Setsuna's come back to life.
[14:03] ---
    I wonder how, though?
    I was sure the Tenseiga was destroyed.
[14:06] ---
    Could Towa, the girl Riku
    is interested in, be responsible?
[14:12] ---
    The Great Dog-Demon's blood
    runs through the daughters of Sesshomaru.
[14:17] ---
    They continue to amuse me.
[14:20] ---
    What took you so long?
[14:22] ---
    I got tired of waiting!
[14:24] ---
    It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
[14:26] ---
    But it sure is weird. Where is Bokusen-Oh?
[14:31] ---
    Moroha, you've been misinformed again.
[14:38] ---
    Are you sure Bokusen-Oh
    is living in a place like this?
[14:41] ---
    I don't see a single person in sight.
[14:43] ---
    Hey, Mr. Bokusen-Oh!
[14:46] ---
    What a disgrace.
[14:47] ---
    Who would've thought
    I'd be called a human?
[14:52] ---
    BOKUSEN-OH
[14:53] ---
    I, Bokusen-Oh,
    am a 2,000-year-old tree.
[14:56] ---
    How dare you lump me together
    with those tailless monkeys?
[14:59] ---
    Oh, I'm very sorry, sir.
[15:01] ---
    Mr. Bokusen-Oh, nice to meet you.
    I'm Moroha the Demon Killer.
[15:06] ---
    You're the quarter-demon
    daughter of Inuyasha.
[15:08] ---
    That's right!
[15:09] ---
    These two are Sesshomaru's daughters,
    Towa and Setsuna.
[15:14] ---
    Yes, the half-demon twins.
    I've heard about you two.
[15:18] ---
    Is that the Yukari no Tachikiri?
[15:22] ---
    Its build is made
    of lapis lazuli crystals.
[15:24] ---
    Must be Totosai's work.
[15:26] ---
    And now you want to ask me about
    the Kyuyokon root? Not sure I like that.
[15:31] ---
    Old Man Totosai told us
    that you're amazing.
[15:36] ---
    Is it true that the Tenseiga's sheath
    was created from you?
[15:40] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[15:41] ---
    Not just Tenseiga,
    but the Tessaiga sheath as well.
[15:47] ---
    Wow, that's awesome!
[15:49] ---
    Seeing how amazing you are,
    we have a favor to ask.
[16:06] ---
    I've collected four so far.
[16:10] ---
    Here are the remaining three.
[16:12] ---
    Riku.
[16:14] ---
    I traveled all over the country
    to collect them.
[16:17] ---
    Good work.
    Now I can restore my demon powers.
[16:20] ---
    Once you become a great demon again,
[16:22] ---
    if you so desire,
    the Degenerate Age can begin.
[16:25] ---
    You could even defeat Sesshomaru.
[16:28] ---
    Spare the pleasantries.
[16:29] ---
    The ones I wish to kill
    are the Half-Demon Princesses.
[16:33] ---
    Yes, of course.
[16:36] ---
    It was in poor taste for me to say that.
[16:40] ---
    Mr. Bokusen-Oh! Please!
[16:43] ---
    I know you'd be able
    to produce a Kyuyokon easily.
[16:47] ---
    Please! I'm begging you.
[16:49] ---
    Like I'd ever tell a half-demon
    or a quarter-demon.
[16:52] ---
    Hmm? "Tell us"?
[16:55] ---
    I thought the Kyuyokon root
    was made from your root.
[17:00] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[17:01] ---
    The Kyuyokon root is dug up
    from a demon spirit tree,
[17:04] ---
    which stands on Mount Musubi.
[17:06] ---
    Mount Musubi?
[17:07] ---
    The same Mount Musubi
    where the Butterfly is said to live?
[17:11] ---
    It is written as Sanreizan,
    the mountain where spirits are born,
[17:14] ---
    and read as Mount Musubi.
[17:16] ---
    Now I get it.
    So the Butterfly was a type of spirit.
[17:19] ---
    This Kyuyokon,
    the root of the demon spirit tree,
[17:22] ---
    it can take in demon energy
    and store it, right?
[17:25] ---
    Correct.
[17:27] ---
    And that is why Kirinmaru fears it.
[17:29] ---
    Kirinmaru is afraid of it?
[17:31] ---
    And that can be found at Mount Musubi?
[17:38] ---
    So what do you think?
[17:39] ---
    I've collected the Rainbow Pearls,
    Kirinmaru.
[17:42] ---
    I know you can see me...
    and that you can hear me, Kirinmaru.
[17:47] ---
    Madam? What are you talking about?
[17:54] ---
    What's going on?
[17:56] ---
    So you haven't noticed?
[17:58] ---
    Although I'm sure
    no one was nice enough to tell you.
[18:03] ---
    You were originally a horn
    cut off from Kirinmaru.
[18:08] ---
    Yes, I was an abandoned piece of trash.
[18:11] ---
    It all took place 600 years ago.
[18:27] ---
    Kirinmaru was injured during his
    battle with the Great Dog-Demon.
[18:29] ---
    GREAT DOG-DEMON
[18:31] ---
    You are the horn that was cut off then.
[18:34] ---
    In other words,
    you are a part of Kirinmaru's body.
[18:38] ---
    Therefore, everything you see and hear
    goes directly to him.
[18:43] ---
    Isn't that right, Kirinmaru?
[18:45] ---
    I cannot hide anything from you, Sister.
[18:49] ---
    Riku, don't ever show your face
    in front of me again...
[18:52] ---
    Unless you want me to kill you, that is.
[18:55] ---
    But...
[18:56] ---
    Use that head of yours to figure it out.
[18:59] ---
    Madam...
[19:00] ---
    Don't come near me anymore.
[19:03] ---
    So fate has decided to prevent us
    from seeing each other again.
[19:14] ---
    Feared even by Kirinmaru...
[19:16] ---
    Mount Musubi...
[19:18] ---
    Since we're on the subject...
[19:20] ---
    Oh, but I guess
    you wouldn't know about it.
[19:23] ---
    There is nothing I don't know.
[19:26] ---
    Where is Mount Musubi?
[19:28] ---
    Go three ri in this direction, and you
    will see the mountain in front of you.
[19:33] ---
    Okay, got it. Thanks.
[19:35] ---
    See you!
[19:37] ---
    Thank you for all your help.
[19:41] ---
    Wait. Did I end up
    telling them everything?
[19:44] ---
    No, I didn't tell them
    about the barrier at Mount Musubi.
[19:48] ---
    Let them deal with it when they get there.
[19:56] ---
    Looks like there's a barrier
    around Mount Musubi.
[19:59] ---
    No surprise there.
    If it was easily accessible,
[20:02] ---
    then Towa would've found it ages ago.
[20:04] ---
    That's right! I've been looking for it
    ever since I got to this era.
[20:09] ---
    Not like I asked for it.
[20:13] ---
    Geez, I'm doing it for you, Setsuna!
[20:33] ---
    Memories of that filthy Peril, huh?
[20:36] ---
    I remember the Red Pearl
    was entrusted to Tokotsu.
[20:50] ---
    Izayoi? Why are that woman's memories
    in the Red Pearl?
[20:55] ---
    That's right.
    That quarter-demon kept it in her rouge.
[21:00] ---
    Could it be...
[21:06] ---
    Anyone who opposes me is an enemy of mine.
[21:13] ---
    I don't believe this.
[21:15] ---
    The memories of those half-demon girls
[21:17] ---
    have been grafted onto my own demon energy
    as an extra layer of the Pearls.
[21:21] ---
    Curse Sesshomaru.
[21:23] ---
    He sealed away the Rainbow Pearls
    into his daughters' eyes
[21:26] ---
