Episode 113

The Sacred Vajra and the Mystery of the Living Buddha is the one hundred thirteenth episode of the InuYasha anime.

Synopsis

 * 1) Inuyasha and Bankotsu's battle is cut short when Hakushin's dokko protects Bankotsu and transports him to another location; this all but proves that Hakushin is, in fact, working with Naraku.
 * 2) Miroku speculates that Mount Hakurei would be a perfect hiding place for Naraku since all who pursue him would have a hard time breaking through the mountain's barrier.
 * 3) Sango and Miroku decide to head into the depths of Mount Hakurei to investigate, but they instruct Inuyasha to stay behind because he is a hanyō and would most likely be purified.

Summary
Inuyasha is at a stand off with Bankotsu. Inuyasha uses the Wind Scar on him but Bankotsu easily deflects it using the jewel shards in his halberd. Inuyasha wants to use the Backlash Wave but realizes that Bankotsu has no demonic aura to use against him. After noting that Inuyasha's arm is badly wounded Kirara tries to help fight off Bankotsu. Kagome tells Inuyasha that there are sacred jewel shards in his halberd, but before Inuyasha can attack Bankotsu summons a thunderstorm that sends out lightning everywhere.

Everyone lays unconscious as Inuyasha tries to get up to get Kagome but is badly wounded. Bankotsu appears and tries to kill Inuyasha, but Inuyasha blocks his attack and regains his strength while fighting him off. Inuyuasha goes to kill Bankotsu but the relic from Hakushin the priest flies and hits the Tessaiga and fills the island with glowing orbs that revives everyone. It purifies the Tessaiga and turns it back into the dull sword. Miroku says that it seems that Hakushin is an ally of Bankotsu. Bankotsu tries to kill Inuyasha but Kagome shoots an arrow at his arm turning it to bone. The relic of the priest emits a barrier around Bankotsu and he starts to disappear.

Bankotsu is transported to a castle where Kohaku and Kanna come to get him. Kanna picks up the relic that transported Bankotsu and they walk to the mummy of Hakushin.

Meanwhile Shintarō brings back his father's bones to his sister and Miroku says they will give him a burial. Kōga's men find him by a waterfall and he has killed a large boar for them to eat. Kōga plans to get into the barrier to kill the Band of Seven where he believes they are hiding. Inuyasha and the others leave the village. Sesshōmaru continues to go into the mountain as Jaken feels worse. Kikyō leaves the children and they tell her that they will wait for Dr. Suikotsu to return. She appears to leave the mountain, as she can no longer handle the barrier. Sango and Miroku decide to go alone into the mountain, since Inuyasha cannot because he is a demon. Kagome, Shippō, Kirara, and Inuyasha stay behind and wait for them to return.
