On a snowy night of 1297 at the beach, blood drips from the left hand of Tōga. His son and heir, Sesshōmaru, asks his father if he insists on going and asks for his two swords, Tessaiga and Sō'unga. But his father asks if he desires power so much, he must have someone to protect; Sesshōmaru says no, as he has no need for such. His father then transforms into his true dog form, running off.

At a mansion, guarded by many samurai, their leader, Takemaru of Setsuna, coming to the birthing chamber ignores the midwife's warnings and takes his spear, killing the midwife. At the birthing chamber, Izayoi who is just giving birth to his second son whose calling "my dearest" to Tōga. While Tōga is on his way to the mansion, Myōga, clinging near his right eye, pleads his master to reconsider, for his wounds from his battle with Ryūkotsusei have not yet healed, but the Tōga refuses, as he cannot afford to lose his human wife, and that he doesn't believe he is long for this world.

Back at mansion, Takemaru approached the birthing chamber as he observed to the moon that the night of the lunar eclipse begins which he's ready to slay a demon. As he entered the chamber, Izayoi surprised that he came and she orders him to gather the men standing guard outside and leave the grounds at once, she fear there's no one who's strong enough to challenge him. He tells Izayoi, that he had always loved her but loathes the fact that "her heart has been stolen by a demon" and stabs her with a spear. As he leaves, he tells her that his feelings for her will never change, and she reaches out to the window while observing the lunar eclipse and Tōga on the cliff observe the mansion telling her that he's coming for her. As the moon darkens, a half demon was born and when Takemaru coming back to the gate, he hears the cries of a newborn half demon.

At that moment, the Tōga arrives at the gate, using his Kaze no Kizu by the Tessaiga to cut through the lines, despite being hit by a few arrows. As Takemaru tells Tōga a little late, causes him to surprise and hearing that he slew Izayoi, he slices off the samurai's left arm and enters the mansion, just as Takemaru summons his men to set it aflame with Tōga and the rest inside. Inside, Tōga finds Izayoi and uses Tenseiga to revive her, and covers her with the Robe of the Fire-Rat to protect her from the fire. Takemaru then approaches, as Tōga draws his third sword, Sō'unga and Takemaru determined to fight to the death tells him to let them journey together into the netherworld. Tōga tells Izayoi to live long and give his second son's name Inuyasha, Takemaru asks him what's Tōga talking about, he answered "the infant's name" as their son shall be called Inuyasha, Izayoi agreed, calls Inuyasha as Tōga tells her to get out and she leaves. Tōga produce the Dragon Twister to battles Takemaru as the mansion collapses on them. Izayoi, holding her infant son, escapes as Tōga's voice tells her that she must survive, live a long life, live long and well with Inuyasha.

## Evidence

* After he last battle with Ryūkotsusei, Toga rushed to save her without first tending to his wounds. He fought through the soldiers only to find her already dead. Using the Tenseiga, he brought her back to life, giving her the Robe of the Fire-Rat, and telling her to escape with their newborn son whom he names Inuyasha.
* Toga's last words were: "Izayoi...You must live. Live a long life. Live long and well with Inuyasha." This showed that the Great Dog Demon did deeply care about his sons and did not see them as mere tools of heritage.
* Toga and Izayoi were married.
* Both appeared romantically affectionate towards one another.
* Izayoi referred to him as Anata (あなた, "my dearest").
* Tōga clearly had only Izayoi in mind after his battle with Ryūkotsusei: instead of tending to his wounds, as he rushed to her side, only to find her dead and cradling their child (thankfully, he was able to use Tenseiga to revive her).
* They have a hanyō son named, Inuyasha together.
