Miroku quotes from InuYasha

Dammit! If you try to use that Wind Tunnel again, I'll tear your stupid arm off!!

View quote →

I know the monk would try to peek at us, but do you think Inuyasha would?

(scornfully) No way! He's such a cold fish.

(confused)... Do you want him to look?

That's a bad scar.

...Yes. It didn't heal well.

Who hurt you? The demons'?

No. I got this scar...from my younger brother. If only I realized some things earlier I could have prevented his death. Kohaku was tender-hearted. He was always a very gentle boy. Perhaps he wasn't suited for the life of a demon-slayer.

I'm sorry to bring up such painful memories. It must be hard for you to talk about it.

No. it's all right. Before he died, Kohaku reverted back to his old self. I still mourn for him, but that thought helps ease the pain of his loss. We were both strong demon-slayers; I'm proud of that. We all have our reasons for being here, don't we?. Why are you gathering the sacred Shikon Jewel shards?

(awkwardly) Um...I figured it was the least I could do after what happened.

So you broke the Jewel?

I'm sorry. I know, I really blew it.

I'm sure you just trying to save it from a demon, so it's not your fault. What's amazing is, you're the reincarnation of a priestess.

That's the part I don't get. But I do understand we need to gather the Jewel shards, and we do that faster by joining forces. With Naraku's appearance things have gotten a lot more complicated.

In order to break the curse of the Shikon Jewel, we must destroy Naraku. (Kagome nods) Did you follow the deeper points of our conversation... you peeping Toms?!

Huh?

A monkey?

Hey! What's with all the ruckus?

This time, you actually were in deep conversation and rushed to help!

(irritably) Why did they have to suspect me, too?!

Miroku

(dreamily) It was worth the pain. That was a wonderful sight we just saw.

(thinking)Everyone has been drawn into the cursed web of the sacred Shikon Jewel. But I feel sorry for Sango the most. She saw her father and younger brother being killed.

She did it.

Miroku

Kagome purged the miasma and pierced Naraku!

Miroku

Unless the spell cast in here is broken, Inuyasha will...Who's there?

Kikyo

Inuyasha.

Kikyo.

Kikyo

The dead souls are...leaving. This explains it. The miasma, where it's from.

But why!!?

View quote →

Miroku

Inuyasha, no! Stay calm!

No!! I will not stay calm!! I am gonna protect Kikyo!!

View quote →

I can't believe my Jewel shards were taken.

(Flashes back to Kikyo taking the shards)

Stop worrying about it, Kagome. It's not like she stole all the pieces or anything. We're just gonna have to find some more, that's all.

But...

Sango (in a whisper): Why is Inuyasha being so understand? It's so unlike him.

Miroku

I suspect it's because Kikyo was the one who stole the Sacred Jewel shards.

Uh, what can he do when the culprit's a woman he's been in love with?

Listen, you morons! If you think I'm protecting Kikyo, you got another thing thing coming!! You think I'm goin' soft on her, too, don't you!!? Then speak up!!

MMyoga

Master Inuyasha, you haven't been able to unravel the mystery of Tetsusaiga on your own. You tried but you haven't been able to tap into the power that killed a hundred demons in one sweep. But Totsai knows its secret. I think if you take the time to know each other and cooperate, you can awaken and harness Tetsusaiga's full strength.

There's no mystery. I'll get the hang of it. I just need practice.

I understand you been collecting the Sacred Jewel shards for awhile. Who knows how many demons have multiple pieces of the Jewel? You know how difficult it's been to battle demons with more than one. Don't you want to awaken the Tetsusaiga's full potential in order to defeat demons with that enhanced strength?

Miroku

He does have a point, Inuyasha.

I think you should at least hear what he has to say.

View quote →

Who is that?

Miroku

Inuyasha's older brother.

I was right. He is the one who's after you.

Exactly! So protect me!

View quote →

Sesshomaru

So you absolutely refuse?

Be quiet, you ungrateful mongrel! You know as well as I do, I already made you an excellent sword! The famous sword that you now wear- the Tenseiga. I also forged from a fang given to me by your father. He clearly instructed the eldest brother should have the Tenseiga, and the youngest brother would have the Tetsusaiga! That was your father's last wish. It is a great sword of swords. No greater and no better than the Testsuaiga! You should learn to respect and love it!

So that old man also made Sesshomaru's sword?

Miroku

Though, come to think of it, I never seen Sesshomaru unsheathe his sword in any of the battles yet. Have you?

No. You're right.

View quote →

It's a blade that doesn't cut? So how are you supposed to fight with a sword like that?

The Tenseiga is not a sword used against foes. To put it simply, it is a sword of healing.

Healing?

The Testsuaiga is a sword that defeats the powerful, and the Tenseiga is a sword that has the ability to save the lives of the weak.

It saves lives?

If the bearer has kindness of heart towards humanity, then the Tenseiga has the power to save a hundred people in one sweep.

Kindness of heart?

Miroku

So the Tetsusaiga can slay a hundred demons in one sweep, and the Tenseiga can save a hundred people in one sweep?

But how are you able to use this sword as a weapon?

Miroku

It must have the ability to bring back dead souls. Such a power could be very useful during these Fuedual times.

TTotsai

I almost called the sword "the Coffin Cheater", but I opted for Tenseiga instead. It was a little more classy. Actually, it was your father who suggested the name.

I get it now. No wonder Sesshomaru wants a new sword. He can't use his. He's incapable of feeling kindness for people, let alone saving lives.

Too bad this isn't working. It was your father's last wish.

Miroku

Your brother's so black hearted.

He wouldn't be happy with the sword, even if he could use it.

View quote →

You did it, Inuyasha! You discovered Tetsusaiga's secret and now you can master it.

So does that mean Sesshomaru is dead?

Miroku

Most likely. I don't know how he could have survived. He received a direct blow from the fully empowered Tetsusaiga.

I didn't see Inuyasha make a direct blow. All he did was widely swing his sword around because his eyes were blinded with poison.

What are you trying to say?

Listen, Inuyasha. You've uncovered the Wind Scar, I'll give you that much. But it now means that you now know what you're brother knows. You're still not his equal, and now he's even more formidable than he was before.

Miroku

You referred to him as though he were still alive.

Sesshomaru is still alive, and even though he despises the Tenseiga, it protected his life.

It protected his life?

Do you mean that Sesshomaru is still around somewhere?

(Totosai continues banging Tetsusaiga's blade with a hammer)

Inuyasha, when you used the Wind Scar against Sesshomaru, you didn't feel it strike him, did you?

Is that true, Inuyasha?

Hard to say. I was blinded. His body felt like it disintegrated in the blast from the Tetsusaiga. I didn't pulverize him or nothing. He just sort of disappeared...evaporated.

Tenseiga protected Sesshomaru from the power and might of Tetsusaiga. It acted on its own accord.

It has a will of its own?

And here Sesshomaru calls Tenseiga a useless sword. And despised it as his birthright.

Miroku

Tenseiga is the sword of life. And when Sesshomaru's life is in danger, despite his dark soul, the Tenseiga choose to save him. And that is what makes him invincible.

So how do you defeat a foe like that? I wouldn't know how to. It's beyond me.

Miroku

It seems like every time we travel in the direction, in which Kagome detects a Sacred Jewel shard, we come across another village that has been completely annihilated. The battle to claim the Sacred Jewel shards has wrought nothing but tragedy. And countless innocent villagers have lost their lives because of it.

So what?

Miroku

So what? So while I believe it is worthwhile venture to take possession of the Jewel shards before Naraku or any other demon can, I cannot approve of your seeking the fragments to become a full-fledged demon. That is all I'm saying.

Don't start that again! You're not winning points for persistence. I'm goin' to become a full-fledged demon, no matter what anyone says! So don't try to stop me!

You killed that giant bird of paradise in one swing.

Miroku

You certainly mastered the Wind Scar.

Yeah well. I certainly gotten rid of the pigeon from Hell. Now there's that fleabag wolf to deal with it

View quote →

I think it's this way. I can sense the Sacred Jewel shards.

Miroku

See how helpful Kagome is? She's the only one with that ability.

View quote →

Miroku

It looks like we were set up. This is one of Naraku's tricks. It was his poisonous insects that led us here in the first place. The demon-wolf tribe were enticed here, too, and then they were quickly slaughtered.

Koga came to rescue his comrades to find Inuyasha covered in their blood.
