Myoga quotes from InuYasha

What's on your mind, Master?

Inuyasha

Just thinkin' of old times. Myoga, would said you could come!!?

What? It's not like I'm in the way.

Inuyasha

Myoga, are you sure this is gonna make my sword stronger?

Yes. But, unfortunately, first you must slay the girl.

Inuyasha

You want me to break the orb?

Smash it to pieces. This blood coral crystal is a precious heirloom passed down to each Guardian of the Demon-Bat Barrier. This is what gives us the ability to put up such a powerful barrier. And it stores all the power of each generation of Guardians, like my grandfather's and my father's. So if you break the crystal, I think you'll be able to strengthen your sword. That's what you want, isn't it?

We couldn't have asked for anything better! Smash the thing, Master Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

Yeah! Good idea. The sooner we get rid of that evil thing, the better.

Something tells me this has something to do with the great war that your father raged many eons ago.

Inuyasha

Eons ago?

Shippo

Hey, I thought that Hachi said it happened fifty years ago.

No, no. It was long before that. It was when your father was still in the western province.

Inuyasha

That's all news to me.

The panther tribe of cat-demons attacked the west, and tried to conquer all other demons. But your father stepped in order to stop them. The panther tribe leader was an enormous cat-demon. Your father protected his men and battled the demons. Naturally, it was your father who emerged victorious. The demons who escaped domination by the panther tribe were extremely grateful. However, a cat's anger runs deep, and they cursed your father and his family for all eternity. And swore that they would, one, day have their revenge.

Inuyasha

So it's true that a cat's wrath lasts seven generations.

Like you, Lord Sesshomaru did not participate in the great war, either. But I'm certain the cats are coming after him to get their revenge.

Inuyasha

What were you doing when all this was going on?

Naturally, I was watching over his home while he was away!

Inuyasha

That's typical.

Miroku

You know, it's strange that he so adamant wanting Inuyasha to leave, wasn't it?

Inuyasha

Heh. He just doesn't want to admit to himself that a half-demon can share his bloodline.

Still, I think it would noble for the two of you to join forces, and fight your father's enemy together.

Inuyasha

I'm not going to have anything to do with Sesshomaru or my father. I came here to take back the Jewel shards and Kagome. That's all!

The demon-blade Dakki, huh?

Inuyasha

C'mon, you must know something about it!

[examining the broken Dakki] Well, yes. I have heard of it. Take a look at this! [he hammers the broken tip; green lightning erupts from it, and it transforms into a dragon scale]

Inuyasha

What is that thing?

One of Ryujin's scales.

[hops onto Inuyasha's nose and sucks his blood] I've heard of this sword! The legendary Dakki- [Inuyasha squishes him]

This one is a failed attempt, hardly worthy of the name.

Inuyasha

"A failed attempt?" That thing absorbed all of Tetsusaiga's demonic energy! [smugly] Naturally, it still wasn't enough to defeat me-

[sternly] If the blade had been successfully forged, you wouldn't be here!

Inuyasha

Are you saying it's possible that there's a real one like this, somewhere?

Why would you ask such a thing?

Inuyasha

Well, if Tetsusaiga had the ability to absorb demonic energy like that, then fighting Naraku and Morymaru would be easy-

Out of the question! To achieve that kind of power, you'd have to fight against Dakki! If you were to lose such a battle, and all of Tetsusaiga's demonic energy were to be absorbed, it'd be just a rusty blade, incapable of being returned to it's original form! Tell me, Inuyasha: is that a risk you're willing to take?

Shishinki!

Kagome

What is it, Myoga?

Shippo

Huh? You're still here?

Inuyasha

What did you say, Myoga? You know the guy Sesshomaru's fighting?

(terrified) I do! He's known as Shishinki, the Ogre of Death! He's a demon who was defeated by your father many, many years ago! He was a fierce opponent, as I recall! (thinking) It's impossible- how is he still alive?! Oh dear, this isn't good at all! If Lord Sesshomaru learns the secret behind Tenseiga, there's no telling what he'll do!

Is that the old flea, Myoga? I wasn't sure 'till now, but if you're here there can be no mistake!

That is Meido Zangetsuha!

Inuyasha

That's it! You're gonna regret doing that! (draws and swings Tetsusaiga) Wind Scar!

So, it is Tetsusaiga.

Inuyasha

Huh?

(emerging through the dust) I heard that he had two sons, and now, here you are. The old man gave Tetsusaiga to his youngest, did he?

Inuyasha

Hey, Sesshomaru, what the Hell's going on here? Why are you fighting with this guy?

Sesshomaru, don't you find it strange? Shouldn't the elder brother have received Tetsusaiga? Now, why do you suppose your father left it to him, instead?

Jaken

Such cruelty! Bringing up the one thing that has tortured Lord Sesshomaru! He has tried to take the Tetsusaiga many times, without success; he even sacrificed his arm! He'd finally given up, and begun focusing on training with Tenseiga- and now, this!

Kohaku

Master Jaken, your explanation makes perfect sense-

Rin

But, if Lord Sesshomaru heard it, he would make you suffer just for saying it out loud!(Jaken gulps)

(Facing Sesshomaru and Inuyasha) Sesshomaru, what do you know of your sword? Do you have any idea how it was born? As I said, Tenseiga was nothing like it is now. It was in a different form, when I fought your father. The truth is, Tenseiga didn't actually exist at the time. (Inuyasha looks shocked) The sword I fought against was none other than Tetsusaiga!

Inuyasha

(thinking) Is he saying that Tetsusaiga is the one that stole Meido Zangetsuha?

(chuckles) So, you didn't know, Sesshomaru? Well, let's see, how should I say this: Tenseiga was originally Tetsusai-

Sesshomaru

SILENCE!

Now, then: I presume the old man was unable to control Meido Zangetsuha after stealing it from me, it's rightful owner.

Kagome

Wow. Is all that true, Myoga?

Yes, yes, yes. It is true that my Lord was pondering how to use this technique, once he'd acquired it.

That is why he cast it away from Tetsusaiga. And so, that unwanted technique, the one Tetsusaiga had no use for, was given to your Tenseiga instead.

Sesshomaru

(thinking) "Unwanted technique?!"

Inuyasha

So, Tenseiga was cast off from Tetsusaiga?

Kagome

If that's true, it would mean that the two were originally one sword!

Sesshomaru

(thinking) Why?! Why did Father do this?!

And, on top of that, if I'm not mistaken, the younger brother smells part human. It seems unthinkable. Why would the old man bequeath Tetsusaiga- his original sword- to a mere half-demon? (mockingly) Poor Sesshomaru; it looks like your father passed you by in favor of your younger brother!
