    SPIRIT OF THE TREE OF AGES
[00:05] ---
    You did well to prevent
    the coming of the Degenerate Age.
[00:10] ---
    I knew that you and your daughters
    would be strong enough to achieve this.
[00:17] ---
    I am grateful to you, Sesshomaru.
[00:39] ---
    NANASUKE ROKUTA
[00:39] ---
    – Ready?
    – Ready?
[00:41] ---
    – Heave-ho!
    – Heave-ho!
[00:41] ---
    KOHAKU
    HISUI
[00:43] ---
    KAEDE
[00:44] ---
    Good grief.
[00:45] ---
    It seems like it's finally over.
[00:57] ---
    HALF-DEMON GIRL – TOWA HIGURASHI
[00:59] ---
    I see.
[01:00] ---
    SETSUNA
    MOROHA
[01:00] ---
    Riku is dead, huh?
[01:03] ---
    Yeah.

    TOWA'S ADOPTIVE MOTHER – MOE HIGURASHI
[03:28] ---
    Moe...
[03:30] ---
    SOTA HIGURASHI
[03:30] ---
    I made some coffee.
[03:32] ---
    Care to take a break?
[03:33] ---
    Sure. I think I will!
[03:35] ---
    MEI HIGURASHI
[03:36] ---
    Sis...
[03:38] ---
    Oh, my. She fell asleep?
[03:40] ---
    GRANDPA
    GRAMMY
[03:40] ---
    She worked so hard
    on the picture she was drawing
[03:43] ---
    that she wore herself out.
[03:45] ---
    Oh? Let's have a look.
[03:48] ---
    She drew them quite well!
[03:50] ---
    That said...
[03:52] ---
    since Mei has been away from Towa,
    she's become a lot more self-assured.
[03:55] ---
    She says she wants to become
    as cool as her big sister.
[04:00] ---
    I sure hope Setsuna is
    having fun playing her violin
[04:03] ---
    in the other world.
[04:05] ---
    I wonder if Moroha is living
    with Kagome and Inuyasha.
[04:09] ---
    I suppose the fact
    that we're all living in peace
[04:12] ---
    is proof that they
    did well for themselves.
[04:16] ---
    I'm sure the three of them
    are having a great time together.
[04:24] ---
    Jeez, that's so dangerous!
[04:27] ---
    ICE DEMON BEAST – UN'EI
[04:28] ---
    INUYASHA
[04:29] ---
    Dad, it's headed your way!
[04:30] ---
    Okay! Leave this to me!
[04:34] ---
    I'll take it down in a single stroke!
[04:43] ---
    Tsk!
[04:44] ---
    Ha! This is nothing!
[04:46] ---
    Take this!
[04:49] ---
    Wind Scar!
[04:54] ---
    Tsk! It blocked it!
[04:57] ---
    Against ice, you need flames!
[04:59] ---
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[05:05] ---
    Dad!
[05:15] ---
    Adamant Barrage!
[05:21] ---
    Purifying Arrow!
[05:30] ---
    We did it!
[05:32] ---
    We got the Ice Sword of Un'ei!
[05:34] ---
    The both of them are in perfect sync.
[05:34] ---
    KAGOME
[05:38] ---
    What?
[05:39] ---
    You're in debt, Moroha?
[05:41] ---
    Yeah, well, it's a long story.
[05:45] ---
    How can we repay it?
[05:46] ---
    Well, by getting
    the heads of demons or treasures.
[05:50] ---
    Once I slay them,
[05:52] ---
    I get Jyubei the Corpse Dealer
    to buy them off of me. Little—
[05:55] ---
    How much do you owe?
[05:56] ---
    Huh? Uh...
[05:57] ---
    a-about one ryou, I think?
[06:00] ---
    – Understood!
    – Huh?
[06:02] ---
    – Inuyasha!
    – Huh?
[06:04] ---
    Go slay some demons!
[06:06] ---
    I cannot allow our beloved daughter
    to remain in debt!
[06:10] ---
    S-S-Sure thing!
[06:13] ---
    Moroha, I'm so sorry.
[06:15] ---
    Oh, man!
[06:16] ---
    That bastard sure was cold!
[06:19] ---
    – Dad...
    – Huh?
[06:20] ---
    Thank you for defeating him with me!
[06:24] ---
    Taking down small fry
    is a piece of cake.
[06:30] ---
    It's been a while, Lord Inuyasha!
[06:34] ---
    Why, if it isn't Old Myoga!
[06:37] ---
    You're the same as always,
    aren't you, Lord Inuyasha?
[06:39] ---
    MYOGA
[06:40] ---
    Whoa!
[06:42] ---
    You didn't show your face at all
[06:44] ---
    while we were fighting Kirinmaru,
    Grandpa Myoga.
[06:47] ---
    A wise man keeps away from danger!
[06:50] ---
    That aside, it's quite nice to taste
    Lord Inuyasha's blood after so long!
[06:54] ---
    Though it's nowhere as delicious
    as yours, Lady Moroha!
[06:58] ---
    What did you say?
[07:01] ---
    Save me!
[07:03] ---
    Jeez...
[07:05] ---
    Dad!
[07:07] ---
    Your hand is all chapped...
[07:09] ---
    I'll warm it up for you.
[07:10] ---
    Th-This'll heal up in no time!
[07:13] ---
    Don't be so modest, Dad.
[07:15] ---
    O-Okay.
[07:22] ---
    See you later, Mom and Dad!
[07:25] ---
    – Okay!
    – Take care!
[07:27] ---
    I'll be going now!
[07:34] ---
    CORPSE DEALER
[07:35] ---
    Mr. Jyubei, as you requested,
[07:38] ---
    I got the Ice Sword of Un'ei!
[07:40] ---
    TAKECHIYO
    CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI
[07:41] ---
    Whoa!
[07:42] ---
    I'm surprised you were able
    to get it by yourself!
[07:44] ---
    Uh, my dad helped me out a bit.
[07:48] ---
    Huh? What did you say?
[07:52] ---
    My dad helped me out!
[07:55] ---
    You got a problem with that?
[07:56] ---
    Oh, I see.
[07:57] ---
    You've got some nice parents,
    don't you, Moroha?
[08:03] ---
    All right!
[08:05] ---
    I'll take that Ice Sword for one ryou.
[08:08] ---
    Your debt has been fully paid.
[08:10] ---
    All right!
[08:12] ---
    Thanks for everything, Mr. Jyubei!
[08:14] ---
    You did well, Moroha.
[08:17] ---
    Well done, Moroha.
[08:20] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:22] ---
    Do you accept requests
    to slay demons here?
[08:26] ---
    You're...
[08:29] ---
    Here you go!
[08:31] ---
    What's this?
[08:33] ---
    I made something for the both of you
[08:35] ---
    RIN
[08:36] ---
    using fabric I received
    from Lord Sesshomaru.
[08:38] ---
    Wow, it's so pretty!
[08:40] ---
    But it looks expensive.
[08:42] ---
    Can we really wear such fine clothing?
[08:46] ---
    The two of you have worked very hard.
[08:49] ---
    I'm sure this is your father's way
    of rewarding you.
[08:54] ---
    Was Sesshomaru...
[08:56] ---
    Do you think Father
    was worried about us?
[09:00] ---
    The Tenseiga can bring someone
    back to life only once.
[09:05] ---
    Setsuna won't have a second chance.
[09:08] ---
    If you want to bring that up,
    your soul died once before, Towa.
[09:13] ---
    It feels like if Father
    had helped us more,
[09:17] ---
    we wouldn't have had
    to go through any of that.
[09:22] ---
    The truth is...
[09:23] ---
    I've also experienced death.
[09:26] ---
    – What?
    – What?
[09:27] ---
    In this era, there are many
    nasty things, aren't there?
[09:32] ---
    And things you can't do anything about.
[09:34] ---
    Since you're both half-demons,
[09:36] ---
    I'm sure that you
    will have to face more hardships.
[09:42] ---
    Also, you'll be attacked
    by strange demons...
[09:46] ---
    just for being Sesshomaru's daughters.
[09:48] ---
    We'll quickly slay anyone who does that!
[09:51] ---
    That's right!
[09:53] ---
    And besides, I've got
    Setsuna and Moroha with me!
[09:57] ---
    Towa...
[09:57] ---
    Setsuna...
[10:08] ---
    You've both become quite strong,
    haven't you?
[10:11] ---
    I'm sure that your father
    is relieved to know that.

[10:33] ---
    MAMIDAIRA CLAN RETAINER – TAKAMARU
[10:35] ---
    That's amazing!
[10:37] ---
    How's that even possible?
[10:40] ---
    KIKUNOSUKE MAMIDAIRA
[10:41] ---
    That was truly marvelous!
[10:43] ---
    SHIPPO
[10:44] ---
    Settle down. Settle down.
[10:47] ---
    Um, ahem!
[10:49] ---
    Next is an example of transformation!
[11:00] ---
    Now, the fundamentals
    of doing a transformation...
[11:07] ---
    Wow, it sure is tough being a teacher!
[11:13] ---
    GYOKUTO KIN'U
[11:13] ---
    I never would have expected
    Shippo to become a teacher!
[11:16] ---
    How wonderful! That's so cool!
[11:18] ---
    Ack! Kin-Gyo!
[11:20] ---
    – Shippo has become
    – What kind of reaction
[11:20] ---
    MIROKU
    SANGO
[11:22] ---
    – quite respectable, eh?
    – was that?
[11:23] ---
    – Let go!
    – Hisui should learn
[11:25] ---
    – from his example.
    – Not gonna happen!
[11:27] ---
    – So true.
    – Gyokuto, it's my turn!
[11:28] ---
    – A 19th-rank fox demon.
    – What do you think you're doing?
[11:31] ---
    I'm sure even Inuyasha
    would be surprised.
[11:34] ---
    They're just like their parents!
[11:37] ---
    Sango, Miroku,
    do something about them!
[11:40] ---
    We'll get Lady Kagome
[11:41] ---
    – to comfort him later on.
    – You won't get away!
[11:43] ---
    Let me hold him!
[11:44] ---
    – Good idea.
    – Don't touch me!
[11:45] ---
    Miroku! Sango!
[11:47] ---
    S-Save me!
[11:50] ---
    – All right, all right!
    – Shippo! Shippo!
[11:54] ---
    CORPSE DEALER
[12:05] ---
    Since there are no city lights,
    the stars sure are beautiful.
[12:08] ---
    City lights?
[12:10] ---
    I'm not sure what you mean,
    but I agree.
[12:13] ---
    Moroha sure is late.
[12:16] ---
    That's true.
[12:20] ---
    Hey, Setsuna.
[12:22] ---
    I wonder what Mother meant
    by what she said earlier.
[12:26] ---
    I don't understand what Father
    is thinking at all.
[12:30] ---
    A rite of courage and cowardice.
[12:33] ---
    A rite of... courage and cowardice?
[12:36] ---
    We half-demons have many enemies.
[12:39] ---
    So perhaps he was testing us...
[12:42] ---
    to see if we half-demons
    could survive on our own.
[12:46] ---
    Because half-demons are weak?
[12:48] ---
    Why are you talking about
    such depressing stuff?
[12:52] ---
    You're late, Moroha!
[12:53] ---
    Sorry, sorry.
[12:55] ---
    I was discussing
    a money-making opportunity.
[12:58] ---
    It must be nice to have it so simple.
[13:01] ---
    Huh?
[13:02] ---
    Also, unlike our father,
[13:04] ---
    Mr. Inuyasha seems
    pretty easy to understand.
[13:06] ---
    Listen, you.
[13:07] ---
    You guys are thinking
    about this too hard!
[13:11] ---
    And it's not just that "rite of whatever"
    you were talking about.
[13:14] ---
    You're definitely overthinking things!
[13:16] ---
    You think so?
[13:18] ---
    It's not that complicated!
[13:21] ---
    Your dad put you two
    through this extreme training
[13:25] ---
    so you wouldn't lose to any bully!
[13:28] ---
    But because of that,
    you ended up hating him a bit.
[13:33] ---
    Huh? Are you saying
    that he did it out of parental love?
[13:36] ---
    Don't you think
    that's a little convoluted?
[13:38] ---
    It was beyond
    what you would call training!
[13:40] ---
    He was far too unforgiving!
[13:42] ---
    That's right.
[13:43] ---
    And if we end up dying once more...
[13:45] ---
    Well, I don't know
    the exact details...
[13:48] ---
    but I suspect that's how much
    he believed in you guys!
[13:53] ---
    I'm sure that your father
    is relieved to know that.

[13:58] ---
    Huh?
[13:59] ---
    What? Did I say something wrong?
[14:02] ---
    S-Sorry! I was out of line.
[14:07] ---
    Thank you, Moroha.
[14:09] ---
    Thank you for fighting alongside us!
[14:12] ---
    What's this all about?
[14:14] ---
    Thank you, Moroha!
[14:16] ---
    You are a valuable friend.
[14:19] ---
    A friend...
[14:27] ---
    I get it already!
[14:28] ---
    Let go of me!
[14:29] ---
    She's bashful. How cute.
[14:31] ---
    No, I'm not!
[14:35] ---
    Hey, you two...
[14:38] ---
    interested in a chance
    to make some money?
[14:43] ---
    CORPSE DEALER
[14:47] ---
    Hey, that man...
[14:49] ---
    Right? Isn't this interesting?
[14:52] ---
    You're the client?
[14:54] ---
    What's your name?
[14:56] ---
    My name is Kai.
[14:56] ---
    KAI
[14:59] ---
    It's a request to slay demons!
[15:01] ---
    You'll have to travel quite a ways
    by boat to do this job.
[15:04] ---
    Isn't that right, Sir Kai?
[15:07] ---
    Merchants have been troubled
    by a monster
[15:09] ---
    that has appeared
    in the seas of the west.
[15:12] ---
    I heard that there were
    some skilled slayers in the east,
[15:15] ---
    so I came to seek their help.
[15:17] ---
    That sounds terrible.
[15:19] ---
    Please tell us more.
[15:21] ---
    If we're going far from home,
    we should tell our mothers.
[15:24] ---
    We're going on ahead.
[15:26] ---
    We're counting on you
    to get the details!
[15:29] ---
    Why don't we see them home today,
    Takechiyo?
[15:33] ---
    Sure thing!
[15:37] ---
    Now then, the reason why
    I'm asking you to do this job is—
[15:42] ---
    Oops. I'll have to apologize
    to Mr. Jyubei later.
[15:46] ---
    L-Lady Towa, what are you doing?
[15:48] ---
    Did you think you could fool me, Riku?
[15:52] ---
    RIKU
[15:52] ---
    You figured it out, huh?
[15:56] ---
    It was obvious from your smell.
[15:58] ---
    Oh. Sorry about that.
[16:01] ---
    We parted in such a tragic way.
[16:04] ---
    I was so embarrassed.
[16:05] ---
    And as you can see, I didn't actually die.
[16:09] ---
    Lady Towa?
[16:10] ---
    Thank goodness.
[16:12] ---
    I'm so thankful you're still alive, Riku!
[16:16] ---
    Thank you very much.
[16:17] ---
    I'm really glad
    I was able to see you again.
[16:30] ---
    Ow, ow, ow.
[16:32] ---
    You're really strong,
    aren't you, Setsuna?
[16:35] ---
    You still have a long way to go, Hisui.
[16:37] ---
    What? I'll surpass you soon enough!
[16:40] ---
    I want another
    sparring match tomorrow.
[16:42] ---
    Sorry.
[16:45] ---
    I got a request to slay demons.
[16:47] ---
    I'll be departing to the west after this.
[16:49] ---
    What? For how long?
[16:52] ---
    Who knows?
[16:54] ---
    I figure I'd do a bit of traveling
    as part of my training.
[16:58] ---
    I need to become even stronger.
[17:00] ---
    You intend to become even stronger?
[17:02] ---
    I guess I won't be seeing you for a while.
[17:05] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[17:07] ---
    Before I forget,
[17:08] ---
    Princess Aiya asked me
    to deliver a letter to you.
[17:12] ---
    She wants you to visit her tomorrow.
[17:14] ---
    It seems she has a request.
[17:16] ---
    Another one?
[17:17] ---
    Why is she always asking me?
[17:19] ---
    You're pretty dense, aren't you?
[17:21] ---
    I'm sure it's a love letter.
[17:23] ---
    You might be able to become a lord.
[17:25] ---
    Wha—
[17:26] ---
    No! It's you that I—
[17:28] ---
    – Oh, no!
    – Huh?
[17:30] ---
    I need to get prepared!
[17:32] ---
    See you later, Hisui!
[17:35] ---
    Jeez. Who's really the dense one?
[17:37] ---
    She's like an impenetrable castle.
[17:41] ---
    U-U-U-U-Uncle?
[17:43] ---
    When did you get here?
[17:44] ---
    Setsuna is Lord Sesshomaru's
    daughter, after all,
[17:46] ---
    so she's quite formidable!
[17:48] ---
    I wouldn't have it any other way.
[17:50] ---
    Uncle, I want to get stronger
    by the time Setsuna comes back!
[17:55] ---
    I like your spirit!
[17:59] ---
    Anyway, I've accepted a job
    from Mr. Jyubei,
[18:03] ---
    so I'll be heading
    to Iyo Province in the west.
[18:07] ---
    In Shikoku, huh?
[18:09] ---
    You repaid your debt, didn't you?
[18:11] ---
    You're going to continue
    slaying demons?
[18:14] ---
    Well, that's true,
[18:16] ---
    but I figured I would take
    this opportunity to get even stronger.
[18:20] ---
    A training expedition, huh?
[18:22] ---
    Will Towa and Setsuna
    be going with you?
[18:24] ---
    Yeah!
[18:25] ---
    The three of us together
    are invincible!
[18:28] ---
    Well, do your best out there, Moroha.
[18:31] ---
    H-Hey...
[18:33] ---
    do you mind if I give you...
    a hug?
[18:37] ---
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
[18:39] ---
    Oh, jeez!
[18:41] ---
    Moroha!
[18:43] ---
    I'll be going now, Mom and Dad!
[18:55] ---
    That Riku...
[18:58] ---
    did he forget we're dog demons?
[19:01] ---
    I guess he had a lot on his mind.
[19:04] ---
    How is he still alive, anyway?
[19:07] ---
    According to Riku...
[19:17] ---
    I'm...
[19:19] ---
    alive.
[19:24] ---
    Miss Rion's and
    Lord Kirinmaru's Kon and Haku...

[19:35] ---
    Apparently that's why.
[19:37] ---
    How is that possible?
[19:39] ---
    I don't know what to tell you.
[19:41] ---
    Towa!
[19:42] ---
    Setsuna!
[19:44] ---
    It's Mother.
[19:46] ---
    JAKEN
    SESSHOMARU
[19:47] ---
    And Father's with her.
[19:50] ---
    See you later!
[19:56] ---
    Take care!
[20:02] ---
    We're going now!
[20:04] ---
    When we come back, we'd like
    to hear more from you, Father.
[20:08] ---
    Let's go, Rin.
[20:10] ---
    Yes.
[20:11] ---
    Lord Sesshomaru acting cheerful!
[20:15] ---
    You're the same as always,
    Master Jaken.
[20:18] ---
    L-Lord Sesshomaru, wait for me!
[20:23] ---
    SEVERAL DAYS LATER
    – IYO PROVINCE –
[20:36] ---
    There's so many of them!
[20:39] ---
    When did they multiply this much?
[20:46] ---
    Wow!
[20:48] ---
    Heavenly Arrow Barrage!
[20:59] ---
    Are you both all right?
[21:00] ---
    You saved us.
[21:01] ---
    Did you slay them all?
[21:03] ---
    Not yet.
[21:05] ---
    I don't see their boss, the largest one.
[21:20] ---
    There you are!
[21:23] ---
    Huh?
[21:24] ---
    I can smell it!
[21:26] ---
    There's human blood mixed in,
    but this smell...
[21:29] ---
    it's that Sesshomaru!
[21:43] ---
    Curses.
[21:45] ---
    You're nothing but half-demons!
[21:47] ---
    Could it be that you're...
[21:52] ---
    That's right.
[21:54] ---
    We're Sesshomaru's daughters.
[21:57] ---
    We're Towa and Setsuna.
