Forum:Bankotsu's death

So, the general word on this is that he died from Inuyasha's Backlash Wave, and was already dead when Naraku removed his Jewel Shards. (A character said "So, Bankotsu's dead?")

But what I don't get is how he could actually die when the Jewel Shards were still in his arm. Shouldn't they have kept him alive until Naraku took them out? KillRoy231 (talk) 00:06, February 10, 2017 (UTC)
