Come on, boy: out with it! What'd he do this time?
No, it's Tetsusaiga; it hurt Inuyasha! It tried to burn him! I've never seen anything like it!
Oh, hello again, Totosai.
Hmm. Here, let me have a look. (Inuyasha hands him Tetsusaiga, which he examines) I see it's now capable of absorbing demonic energy. So?
(headbutts him) So I'm asking you what the problem is, old man!
There is nothing wrong with Tetsusaiga! (returns the sword) If there's a problem, the problem is you, Inuyasha!
What're you talking about?
Listen carefully. Demonic energy is like a poison, of sorts. Originally, Tetsusaiga was forged from the fang of your father, who was a mighty demon. He had the capacity to absorb an infinite amount of demonic energy! However, you, who are half human, simply do not possess the power to restrain the demonic energy absorbed by your own sword! Now, then, show me your hands.
Huh! What, are you gonna read my fortune or something?
(thinking) Stubborn boy! This much damage, and you still refused to let go of the sword?!
The Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga grew hotter as it absorbed more demonic energy.
It was warning you of the danger you faced- a warning you would have been wise to heed!
(thinking) So, Tetsusaiga never wanted to hurt Inuyasha.
All right, what should I do?
Now that Tetsusaiga has become stronger, you too must become stronger to handle it!
But, how?
It's going to take extensive training-
We don't have time for any of that, and you know it!
(deadpan) That is unfortunate, but it's your fault for ignoring my warning in the first place.
My fault?! I'm begging you for help, and that's all you can say?!
Well, if this is your idea of "begging", I'd hate to see what demanding looks like. Since you insist, go meet the Great Holy Demon Spirit!
"Holy Demon Spirit?"
He's the demon equivalent of a wise old hermit. If you want to master the Dragon-Scale Tetsusaiga, you have no choice but to go train under him.
