TV show quotes
(to herself) Kohaku?
I am the wind, remember? Pay attention!
Sango!
Sango! Sango, say something to me! Sango! (Sango moans weakly)
How very touching, Monk. Unfortunately, you might've lived a little longer if you'd only gone on ahead without her.
(smirking) You can't use your Wind Tunnel, though- for fear of the insect's poison!
You don't know who you're dealing with! What meaning does my life have without the woman I deeply care for?! I would sacrifice my life for hers! Wind Tunnel!
... Oh. So, you're still alive, Renkotsu.
Yes. (thinking, as he approaches Bankotsu) Damn that Bankotsu. He has the shards from Kyukotsu, Mukotsu and Suikotsu- that makes four in all. The shards I took from Kagome are embedded in his halberd, Banryu. I have three shards, with the ones from Ginkotsu and Jakotsu. If I can keep Bankotsu from using his halberd, we'll be just about even. If I'm going to do it, it has to be now!
That's two. So... right, riiight. You've still got one more, don't you?
Damn you!
You know, for a smart guy, you sure can be stupid. You kept plotting and planning, but you waited too long to act.
Will you... kill me?
(holds up Jakotsu's hairpin) Well, what should I do? (angrily) After all, you killed Jakotsu for his sacred Jewel shard.
(furious) Who the Hell are you to talk?! In the end, all that counts is power, and the more shards you have the stronger you become! (Bankotsu smirks) What's so funny about that?! Don't forget that you have sacred Jewel shards in your body too, Big Brother- and you used us to get them for you!
Let's put your theory to the test.
Whattaya mean?!
Here. (tosses him the two shards) Take them. What's the problem? (Renkotsu glances at Banryu) Oh, don't worry, I won't even use Banryu.
Now, I will demonstrate just how different you and I are. Well, what are you waiting for? Let's do it. If you won't attack, then I'll come at you first! (advances)
Ahhh! (he fires his hand-cannon, but misses; Bankotsu continues to advance) AAAAHH! DIE, DIE!
What's the matter, Renkotsu? Your aim's not so good. (Renkotsu steps back hastily, trips and falls) Now what- your balance isn't so good either? (coldly) Get on your feet- so I can kill you.
Dammit!
Hah! I... think I got him!
Oh, yeah? Well, think again!
What... is the difference? What is it? Tell me! How is what I've done any different from what you are doing now!?
[Bankotsu tears out Renkotsu's two remaining shards; Renkotsu crumbles into a skeleton]
The difference is... I would never betray my friends. How sad. It seems I'm the only one left.
I know, I've got things to finish. (he inserts the three shards and picks up Banryu) This will be the final battle of the Band of Seven.
There. I've dissolved the barrier, as you asked of me, Priestess. You say you wanted to lay me to rest, and dissolve the barrier around Mount Hakurei, did you not? However... I was buried alive, and now my soul is filled with anger and hatred. I fear it cannot be saved.
You are wrong. I never said that I had the ability to save your soul from the darkness.
Huh?
But, I do want you to tell me... what is it, that makes you so unbearably sad?
Sad, you say?
Even though I touch your very soul, I cannot feel the hatred and bitterness you speak of.
(to Hakushin) Hate them. It's all right for you to hate them. Hate them all, the humans of this world.
But, I...
The tears you shed were not tears of hatred toward humans and their world.
...Yes. You're right. I wanted to die an admirable death, as a saint. But, it was not to be. I did not want to admit... my own weakness. So, I cried in despair, over the weakness of my own heart.
How painful it must have been.
Yes. It was painful.
You have done more than enough good in this world. So, please... let your soul become free.
...Is that all right?
(gently) Yes. It's all right.
(thinking) There is not one person in this world who never feels lost, who has never sinned in life. Those who try to be forever divine, those who try to be forever kind, and even those who are tainted by evil. Everyone wishes to be saved.
(thinking) Isn't that right, Kansuke? He has found peace.
Mount Hakurei! The barrier... it's been dissolved?
You should be rotting in your grave like a good corpse- and I'm gonna be the one that makes sure ya do!
That's very high and mighty, coming from one such as you- a pathetic little demon who was nailed to a tree!
You son of a-!
My mistake. You're not a real demon, just a half-demon! Naraku told me all about you and that dead priestess, Kikyo!
Why, you!
A measly half-demon who was pinned to a tree for fifty years, has no business criticizing those of us who were resurrected!
What's that? (he has a brief flashback of Kikyo shooting him fifty years ago) Hah! Seems like you and Naraku have been talking a lot, huh?
Actually, this is the second time I've run into Naraku.
Whattaya mean by that?
The first time we met was before the Band of Seven was formed. Looking back, it was kind of a strange coincidence.
So you're old pals, then?
Hah! I don't befriend demons. Back then, I was always looking for a challenge- always looking for strong opponents to beat. I didn't care if they were demons, as long as they were strong. One day, I heard about a frightening, powerful demon, and entered the lifeless forest in which he was supposed to dwell.
I've come to fight the demon who rules this forest.
(indicates a newt-demon's corpse in front of him) Perhaps it was him.
Did you kill him?
Mm. Are you a demon-slayer, or some kind of monk?
I am neither one of those. If you're telling me you're strong, then I wish to fight you.
Oh- you want to test your strength?
One like you, who possesses demonic powers from the moment he was born, couldn't possibly understand!
(chuckles) "From the moment I was born?"
What's so funny?!
You desire demonic powers, do you?
So, then you admit that you're a demon?
I have been wandering the land, searching for a power that I have been unable to acquire.
The Shikon Jewel?
I do not know if, or when, it will manifest itself in this world again.
Hey, Big Brother! (Bankotsu glances away as Jakotsu arrives) Oh, you're kidding- you destroyed it already? You could at least leave me one to kill, okay?
Awaken, Bankotsu- awaken. Awaken, Bankotsu, awaken. I grant you life, once again.
...Who are you?
To think, the man I met all those years ago was Bankotsu of the Band of Seven.
I remember now. You're that demon I met in the forest.
My name is Naraku.
Naraku? Wait... what is this? the seven of us were beheaded.
You are quite right; We are inside your grave right now.
I embedded a shard of the sacred Jewel inside your body. That is the power you feel.
Ahh- sacred Jewel shards can be very useful, can't they?
I want you to serve me, Bankotsu. If you do, this renewed life of yours will be everlasting.
Now, go forth with your six comrades... and destroy my enemies.
How dare you?!
Hah! I knew you had the Jewel shards in your arm; your sword-arm seemed unusually strong, and it got me thinking-
So, you took a guess. Seems like you have all the luck.
Oh, it's more than just luck, Bankotsu. [cracks his knuckles] I'm gonna cut out all the shards, and the next one's in your neck!
Don't underestimate me, half-demon. Just who do you think you're dealing with?
(sits up) You bastard...
I am Bankotsu, leader of the Band of Seven. And I've never lost a battle to anyone.
I'll ask you just one more time. Naraku, tell me what your true purpose here is!
I'm surprised. Did you come all this way and go to all this trouble, to ask me such a simple matter?
I'm the one asking the questions.
[chuckles] Round and round goes the spinning wheel...spinning and weaving a red thread of fate. Meeting Rasetsu, or should I say Kanske, was no coincidence. It was according to my plan.
You mean...?
I merely took advantage of his desire to find a place to die. It was all so simple. I put rumors into that dying man's head about the sacred grounds of Mt. Hakurei, and thus set him on your path. Now do you understand? [chuckles] You did not come here of your own accord. I lured you here. I have often heard you humans refer to this as fate or destiny.
Kikyo [thinking] Once the threads of destiny become tangled, they cannot be undone. To walk down this path once more, only confirms my cursed destiny.
Only the weak utter such nonsense. It is different for the truly powerful. They create this so-called fate or destiny themselves.
You're the one speaking nonsense, Naraku!
Oh, yes. You were interested in finding out about my true aim. You wish to know? Then I shall tell you. [he raises his forearm, and a blade of bone grows from his wrist] You shall learn my purpose, what it is I need to accomplish at Mt. Hakurei. Here's your answer.
Agh!
[chuckles] Your imitation body is formed of bones and graveyard soil. You don't even bleed.
[slumps to her knees] I curse you, Naraku.
You underestimated me, Kikyo. You came feeling self-assured, so certain that I would not be able to kill you. You believed that as long as I had the heart of that worthless human- that pathetic bandit, Onigumo, who loved you with all his being- you believed I wouldn't harm you. [he retracts the bone-blade] I feel nothing, even after wounding you so. No remorse, no sadness.
[thinking] Does that mean his heart no longer beats inside you? I see! That's what Kagura had in her possession- his human heart!
The bottom of this crevice is filled my miasma. An imitation body like yours will dissolve easily, in a matter of seconds. [he raises his arm again, his fingers extending into clawed tentacles] Kikyo... this will be your burial ground.
No! Why are these memories coming back to me now? [the tentacles impale her and retract, sending her plummeting into the miasma gorge] Inuyasha...
Huh?!
Inuyasha?
[thinking] I don't like this. I've got a bad feeling about something...
[thinking about Naraku] Such impudence. You merely wished to test the power of your new body, against me.
Sesshomaru...
Inuyasha. Still alive, are you?
What're you doing here?
It seems Naraku's main interest was not you... but rather, his real objective, was to kill that woman.
Huh?! [he follows Sesshomaru's gaze to Kikyo's broken bow, laying on the edge of the gorge] Kikyo's bow! No, Kikyo...
[thinking] What happened? Did Naraku kill Kikyo?! No...it can't be!
[in flashback] Naraku cannot kill me... not as long as he has Onigumo's heart, a heart which cares for me.
Soul Collectors!
I failed you again, Kikyo... I let you die. I wasn't there for you, and you died alone...
This miasma is terrible! There's no way she could survive it! [Sesshomaru starts to leave, and Jaken follows him] Lord Sesshomaru?
Hold on, Sesshomaru! [Sesshomaru glances back] Did you just watch her get killed? Didn't you do anything to help?! [Sesshomaru turns and keeps walking, Inuyasha reaches for Tetsusaiga] I told you to STOP!
I don't care to know what your connection to that woman was. [glances back] The person responsible for killing Kikyo, was Naraku. And, you... you're the one who didn't save her. Inuyasha, blame yourself. [keeps walking] Rather than taking your anger out on me, I suggest you go after Naraku.
Exactly!
Kikyo... forgive me.
Well, if it isn't Kanna. A Sacred Jewel shard?
I want you to implant that tainted fragment into Kagome. Once it is in, she will be completely under our control.
Oh? With this, Kagome will become Naraku's servant you say? She will share the same fate as Kohaku.
Kagome (thinking): Kohaku? That impure light! Does she intend to put that shard into me? No! I...I can't move. This strange infant was a grasp on my soul. I have to break free.
Kagura, hold on. She's a stubborn one. She's regained consciousness.
Kagome (thinking): Inuyasha! Save me!
It's too late. You know as well as I do that Inuyasha will never come. Inuyasha has made his choice and he has chosen Kikyo, not you.
Remember, Kagome. When you learned that Kikyo had died, weren't you actually quite pleased? The woman who came between you was gone, but when Inuyasha heard that Kikyo was alive, he went after again. Whether she is dead or alive, Inuyasha's heart belongs to Kikyo. Don't you feel bitter toward Inuyasha? Don't you hate Kikyo? It's all right for you to hate them. Feel your heart with bitterness once more, and let me grasp your soul.
You've got her.
Kagome (thinking): I feel bitter towards Inuyasha? I hate Kikyo? I guess I have every reason to, but...
What's going on here? Somehow she repelled the shard. (thinking) So there are some things this devilish brat can't do.
You're wrong.
The Infant (thinking): She spoke. My suggestive powers are not working on this girl.
What you're saying to me is completely wrong. Inuyasha can never forget about Kikyo. And even though I force myself to accept this rationally I still feel the pain and jealousy in my heart. However, bearing a grudge against Inuyasha, and feeling jealousy toward Kikyo, these are normal feelings that any human would have. And It is not unlikely for me to feel bitterness towards these two. This isn't the first time that Inuyasha has tried to dessert me because he knew how difficult all this was for me. I even wished Kikyo gone but then I felt so bad after harboring such thoughts. These feelings mean that I...that I'm in love with Inuyasha!!
Now I see why Naraku hates that girl.
What did you do to Kagome!!?
I just rummaged inside her soul a little bit. Because you can't seem to get over Kikyo, I even managed to find a speck of darkness in that girl's heart. It's too bad. Just one more little step and I could have crushed her soul.
Bastard! Just what the hell are you!!?
Heh. Now that the priestess Kikyo is no longer with us, that girl is the only one who can see the Sacred Jewel shards.
What!?
Very soon. Once Kagome's eyes become ours, the Sacred Jewel will become whole once again; a Sacred Jewel filled with hate that is.
You bastard!! If ever touch Kagome again...!!
There are many ways to corrupt that girl, Inuyasha. So as you cannot forget Kikyo.
(The leave, and Inuyasha turns to Kagome's motionless form)
Inuyasha (thinking): Kagome, I'm so sorry I left you all alone. I'll never let you fall into Naraku's hands again. Never will I let you suffer like Kikyo did.
Hey, you look unwell.
Be quiet. I need to sleep. (thinking) Kagome's soul is much stronger than I expected. I used up too much energy.
Kagura (thinking): What's wrong with him? Did his struggle with Kagome tire him out? He may be Naraku's offspring but, apparently, he's not all-powerful.
