Summary
Inuyasha prepares to cut the red stone after he accepted it from Shiori to get banner for Tessaiga. But Tessaiga's strike releases the spirit of Taigokumaru who burns Shizu's hands. As he emerges out, he tries to attack his own granddaughter but he interrupted by the spirit who holds Shiori's head. It turns out that it is Tsukuyomaru who allows Inuyasha to slice the stone and his father's spirit is sent to hell and thus the red banner becomes technique of Inuyasha's Tessaiga. In the end the bat demons allow to Shizu and Shiroi to live there and villagers are guilty for what they did.
