Inuyasha, Vol. 41 - Naraku Reborn
Kagome is a 15-year old Japanese school girl who discovers a secret well at a Shinto shrine that transports her back 500 years to a feudal Japan filled with demons, goblins, and magic. Soon she discovers that she is the reincarnation of a powerful priestess, Kikyo, the keeper of a magical jewel known as the Shikon. When the jewel is shattered into a million pieces, Kagome must team with the half-demon InuYasha and travel Japan collecting the shards and, invariably, facing evil and bizarre demonic creatures. This long-running and widely popular series is another ingenious invention of Rumiko Takahashi, the millionaire Manga creator of the surreal RANMA 1/2 and URUSEI YATSURA. After InuYasha began airing on the Cartoon Network it quickly gathered a rabid American fan-base. In episodes 121, 122, and 123, InuYasha must battle Bankotsu, the last and most powerful of the seven-member band of zombie mercenaries that the demon Naraku raised from the dead. Then Kagome must try to free Inuyasha from the tentacles of Mt. Hakurei, even as Naraku materializes in his monstrous new body.
